Quick Transmigration: What to Do When the Male Supporting Character You Saved Becomes Obsessed with

Chapter 324 Obedient and Clingy Younger Brother (35)

Lu Liruan prepared diligently today, using all her skills to create a table full of delicious and visually appealing dishes.

As soon as the food was served, Wen Bei and Zhao Jingyi took out their phones and snapped photos.

"Sis! Why don't you come to our school and rule the cafeteria? I'll lead all the students to support you as the one and only queen!"

Wen Bei made Lu Liruan laugh so hard she almost fell over. When Zhao Jingyi spoke to Lu Liruan, she called her "sister" sweetly and smoothly.

Instead, Jin Shuhe was quietly eating, but Wen Bei turned around and accused her: "All you do is eat! Don't you know how hard your sister works to cook!"

Jin Shuhe: ...

After finishing his meal, Wen Bei went to Jin Shuhe's room to get his workbook and then came to Lu Liruan with a grin to ask for her help.

Then his expression gradually became serious...

"Shuhe!" He turned his head.

"Huh?" Jin Shuhe didn't understand what he was up to.

Then we heard him loudly proclaim, "I understand! I really understand the heavenly scripture!"

"Sis! You're amazing! When I didn't understand something at school, my tutor explained it to me and I understood it while listening, but when I tried to do it myself, I was confused again! But after you explained it, it all became so clear!"

Wen Bei was indeed very excited.

His grades weren't good. Even though he practiced sports, he still needed to keep up with his academic studies.

His parents were extremely worried and did everything they could to support him, making every effort to ensure his success in the college entrance examination.

He appears carefree on the surface, but he cares deeply inside, fearing that he might let his family down.

But he also felt that he was not cut out for studying, and he felt very upset every time his grades did not improve.

"Sister, can you take a look at this place for me?" Zhao Jingyi also came over.

It was supposed to be a fun trip, but it seems to have turned into a study session.

Even after it got dark outside, the two of them still seemed reluctant to stop.

"Sister, can I come and listen to your explanations again next time?" Zhao Jingyi asked first.

In just one afternoon, she felt it was more useful than spending a whole week doing math practice papers.

"Sure, when do you want to come over? Just ask Xiaohe beforehand, and you'll know if I'll be home."

Jin Shuhe watched from the side as Sister Li Ruan smiled and didn't seem to be forcing anything, and only then did he feel relieved.

Lu Liruan did more than just not force him.

She had initially thought that it was a waste to give such a useful cheat code to just one child.

And here come two more!

Although many years have passed, when Lu Liruan was teaching them, she recalled her own experience of asking others questions when she was in school.

She was anxious because she didn't know how to answer and couldn't understand, but now she wants the children who come to ask her to not have this problem.

It's getting late; it's time for them to go home.

Lu Liruan stood at the door waving goodbye to them, and Jin Shuhe accompanied them to the station.

Walking in the cold night wind, Wen Bei seemed very happy.

"Shuhe".

He quickened his pace and turned around.

"Ok?"

"Sister is so kind!"

"Yes, Sister Li Ruan is the best."

Not in front of Lu Liruan, Jin Shuhe echoed without hesitation.

Even he himself didn't realize that when he said those words, his eyes, which rarely smiled before, were bright, and the corners of his mouth were turned up.

“I’m relieved that you’re doing so well now!” Wen Bei suddenly said quickly.

He wasn't used to saying such serious words of concern, and after he finished speaking, he kept touching his neck.

Jin Shuhe was taken aback. He felt calm and happy almost every moment now. His former resentment, anger, and negativity had all disappeared without him noticing.

Even he himself couldn't believe that he had become like this.

"Thank you," he replied earnestly in a low voice.

He used to think a lot about the kindness of others, but now he feels that when faced with the kindness of others, he only needs to feel it, then express his heartfelt gratitude, and also learn from this kindness.

In return for what you have received, treat others with kindness as well.

"Jin Shuhe, you're doing better and better, that's wonderful..."

The girl had half her face hidden behind her scarf, and her voice was muffled.

The first semester of senior year is almost over, and there are only two more exams left.

One bi-weekly exam and one final exam.

The results of the bi-weekly exam came out very quickly.

Jin Shuhe was placed in the first examination room this time, ranking 30th in the grade.

Compared to his improvement of several places, Wen Bei's improvement seemed more obvious.

He went directly from the third-to-last exam room to the fifth-to-last exam room, improving his score by more than thirty places!

Holding the report card, he hesitated for a while before whispering, "Maybe it's easier to improve if you're ranked lower. There's more room for improvement, and one more point could mean surpassing several people..." He seemed to be trying hard not to get too excited.

"Then you've improved by more than thirty places," Jin Shuhe said matter-of-factly.

"Stop talking! If you keep talking, I'm going to jump up!" Wen Bei held the report card and gave it a big kiss!

"I'd rather kiss my sister!"

Jin Shuhe's cold gaze swept over, but Wen Bei was so engrossed in her joy that she didn't notice at all.

Zhao Jingyi's scores in math and physics also improved somewhat.

"Jin Shuhe, could you please tell Sister Li Ruan for me?"

Jin Shuhe felt that the two of them were mentioning Sister Li Ruan far too often these days.

This gave him a subtle, inexplicable sour feeling that occasionally surfaced, as if some care that originally belonged only to him was now... being received by others.

"Okay." He suppressed the inexplicable thought that had just crossed his mind and nodded.

After this exam, the final exam will follow immediately.

Whether it's a class or a grade, a tense atmosphere seems to have suddenly spread, and everyone notices that things are different from before.

Jin Shuhe ranked 28th in the grade in the final exam.

After a heavy snowfall, the last winter break of high school began.

Only after leaving the school were the students finally able to catch their breath.

Because the Chinese New Year is approaching.

Lu Liruan was unable to go home for the Chinese New Year last year.

While most people are on holiday, it's a busy time for those of us in the entertainment media industry. Last year, we had several projects that were in a rush before the Lunar New Year.

I can't free up two days of vacation time.

Even if they went back, they would have to rush back on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Lu Liruan felt that leaving so hastily on the second day would be even more heartbreaking for the family who had just reunited for two days.

She was sad, and her parents were sad too.

Why not just stay here peacefully with my colleagues? It's quite a novel experience.

The parents didn't object.

"Then you should eat and drink well. Your dad and I are going to visit relatives and play mahjong this year too. Don't worry, we'll definitely have a comfortable time!"

Lu Liruan knew that her mother was trying to comfort her.

On New Year's Eve, none of them went home; instead, they all went to a colleague's house in the city where they had bought a house to have a New Year's dinner together.

Around four or five in the afternoon, when it was time for the family reunion dinner, Lu Liruan took her phone and went to the balcony to make a video call with her parents.

This year, the two of them went to their father's sister's house, Lu Liruan's aunt's house, to celebrate the New Year.

Mom was excitedly taking pictures of the delicious dishes laid out on the table. Uncle was still frying and cooking. Aunt showed Lu Liruan the auspicious gold bracelet that she had picked out for herself a few days ago.

Until the phone was handed to her father.

Her father had barely said a few words to the camera when he suddenly choked up: "My dearest daughter, I miss you..."

"This is the first time in all these years that my son and I haven't spent the Lunar New Year together. Dad is really heartbroken..."

Lu Liruan's eyes welled up with tears as she listened.

Her mother snatched the phone back: "Don't mind your dad, he had some baijiu with your uncle at noon, you know how little he can drink!"

The aunt's voice came from off-screen: "What are you howling about, Da Sanshi'er!"

"Why are you shedding tears on such a beautiful day? You're making your daughter sad!"

The lively Lu Liruan wished she could crawl back into her phone screen.

Her colleague came from inside the house to call her for dinner.

"I'm going to eat now. Happy Chinese New Year, Mom and Dad, Aunt and Uncle!"

Lu Liruan hurriedly hung up the phone and sniffed.

From that moment on, Lu Liruan thought that she must go home for the next Chinese New Year!

Then this year, Jin Shuhe joined the fray.

Lu Liruan thought she should take him back with her... but she kept putting it off and didn't tell her parents about it.

It's not for any other reason than that Lu Liruan is old enough to decide what to do herself, and she doesn't need to spend her parents' money.

But children will always be children in their parents' eyes. Lu Liruan was worried that her parents might worry or nag her...

Two days before Jin Shuhe's holiday, Lu Liruan finally made up her mind and called home to tell him about it.

……

"Mom, that's how it is."

Lu Liruan hurriedly finished explaining the whole story in one breath.

Her mother didn't interrupt her or nag her as she expected.

Instead, it was quiet for a while...

"My daughter."

"what?"

"What you're doing, isn't it illegal?"

Lu Liruan: ?

"Mom! Didn't I explain it to you clearly?"

"No, Mom understands, but this... it's really a bit strange to suddenly pick up a child."

For some reason, Lu Liruan burst out laughing at her mother's tone.

"Mom—I just wanted to tell you both that I can't just leave my poor little guy here to spend the New Year by himself. I'm taking him back with me. You two be nice to him, just like you were when you welcomed my classmate back then!"

Lu Liruan whined sweetly, "Mommy~ Mommy~"

“Your dad and I didn’t say it was no good. It’s just one more mouth to feed! We’ll cook two more dishes for the New Year’s Eve dinner this year! It’s quite pitiful, so it would be good if you could help him out.”

Lu Liruan remembers that when she was a child, her parents used to run a small supermarket near the school gate, and they would often bring a few little kids home for dinner.

At that time, Lu Liruan was too young to understand, but she learned later that those children all came from poor families.

The parents felt sorry for the child and knew his parents, so they helped him whenever they could.

Later, when the family business grew bigger, my parents would run into acquaintances who lived nearby when they went back to the small supermarket where they now employed people.

"See? This couple is a good person, and they're rewarded! They're so kind-hearted, so wonderful..."

Someone started talking about what happened back then, reminiscing about it.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Liruan breathed a sigh of relief. The thing that had been dragging on for so long turned out to be not that difficult to do.

Lu Liruan knew that her parents loved her dearly. She had always been able to talk to them about anything since she was little. But now, for some reason, she sometimes felt that having a serious conversation with her parents was something she had to put off until the very last minute.

I subconsciously feel that my parents don't understand my actions and don't quite understand me, who is decades younger than them.

Lu Liruan felt a pang of sadness, realizing that the problem lay with her; she had neglected communication and had been perfunctory in her dealings.

In fact, the process and the result were completely different from what I had imagined.

"Going back to Sister Li Ruan's house?" Jin Shuhe pursed her lips and lowered her head slightly.

“Okay! Let’s go back for the New Year!” Lu Liruan knew he had concerns, so she didn’t try to persuade him, but just patted his head.

“We’ll go back before the New Year and leave on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. You guys should start school after the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, right?” This year’s winter vacation is unusually short.

"Uncle and Aunt...know me..."

“I know! My mom said she’ll cook more dishes for Chinese New Year this year because I said you eat a lot, hahaha!” Lu Liruan answered him easily.

Because they were traveling across provinces, Lu Liruan bought high-speed rail tickets, and the two of them set off lightly.

"Sister Li Ruan, shouldn't we bring something for your uncle and aunt?" Before leaving, Jin Shuhe looked at the two of them, each with a small backpack, and asked hesitantly.

"Wow! You're a kid and you know a lot. We're not going to visit someone, why would we bring anything back to our own home?"

We arrived at the train station.

"Wow! A sea of ​​people, and the sound of gongs and drums..." Lu Liruan muttered to herself.

The Spring Festival travel rush is truly a spectacle that can be considered one of the world's most amazing sights.

As she joined the long queue, Lu Liruan raised an eyebrow at Jin Shuhe: "See? I was prescient, wasn't I? Going into battle light!"

The two high-fived, and a man carrying three or four large bags in front of them turned around and glanced at them...

They squeezed onto the train, into their own carriage, and into their seats. They couldn't even buy seats next to each other. Lu Liruan sat at the front of the carriage, while Jin Shuhe sat at the back. The two could only communicate through their mobile phones.

"Sister Li Ruan, before I get off the bus, I'll go to your place first. Please wait for me before you leave."

"Okay, I'm so squeezed by the suitcase next to me that my legs are almost dangling in the air!"

"Shall we switch?"

"No way! Sit still properly. I feel like if I squeeze in like this, I'll lose three years of my lifespan!" Lu Liruan complained as she typed rapidly.

"Sister Liruan... Don't say such unlucky things during the New Year! Peace and safety! Peace and safety!" When the message came from the other end, Lu Liruan felt like she could see Jin Shuhe's serious expression with his brows furrowed.

"You talk like my parents, they'll definitely like you when you get back!"

Lu Liruan didn't know where Jin Shuhe learned that from; it was a bit old-fashioned.

When Lu Liruan walks alongside him and accidentally steps on a manhole cover, he pats himself three times.

Just as Lu Liruan's phone was about to run out of battery, they were finally about to arrive at their destination.

Jin Shuhe squeezed through, carrying two bags in one hand and holding Lu Liruan's arm with the other to prevent the two from getting separated.

He was taller than Lu Liruan, and Lu Liruan felt uncomfortable with his arm being pulled, so she struggled a bit and then held his hand.

Unbeknownst to him, the young boy's fingers had stiffened, and Ren Pinglu and Li Ruan held him tightly, remaining motionless...
