Became the Terminally Ill Supporting Male Lead's Rabbit Spirit

Chapter 24

“How can you be so mean with your words?” Shen Xue wiped away her tears and glared angrily at Su Ci.

The rooftop was particularly sunny, with not a hint of breeze, making Su Ci feel unbearably hot.

She retorted impatiently, “Honest words hurt, but what I said is the truth. There are plenty of guys out there who are better looking than Fu Baili. Is it really worth dying for him? He probably doesn't even know your name.”

In the book, it was mentioned that after the supporting female character died, the male lead Fu Baili didn't even pay attention to her name.

Wasn't that a waste of life?

She had heard of many people who had sought death for love before, and she always found it unbelievable, thinking them both foolish and pitiable.

Shen Xue in front of her was just like those people, hopelessly in love. She had a whole forest of options but insisted on crashing into a mediocre tree, wasn't that just foolish?

Su Ci glanced at Shen Xue's hand gripping the railing. The life value on her wrist had turned yellow, although she couldn't see the exact lifespan, the red line was gone, indicating Shen Xue wouldn't jump.

“Aren't you coming down?” Su Ci asked Shen Xue, “School's about to end, and I need to find Lu Zhe.”

Since the other party no longer wanted to die, she wouldn't waste any more time here.

Seeing Su Ci really turn to leave, Shen Xue quickly called out, “Ah, wait, don't go! Aren't you afraid I'll really jump?”

Su Ci was speechless, “No.”

Shen Xue was dumbfounded. The other girl really left without a second thought, not caring about her at all.

“Wait, wait,” Shen Xue hastily called out.

Su Ci turned back, frowning at her, “Do you still need something?” The bell had just rung for the end of class, and she was in a hurry to find Lu Zhe.

Shen Xue bit her lip. Her eyes were red, her face flushed with shame. “I'm feeling weak, can you help me down?”

She hadn't felt it when she was intent on dying, but now sitting on the railing and looking down, she felt as if she were suspended in mid-air, terrifyingly so.

Her legs were trembling.

Su Ci looked at her incredulously, “I thought you were brave enough to face death, I was about to praise you.” But now she seemed so timid. Where did her courage to jump come from?

Su Ci walked over with an umbrella, extending her hand to Shen Xue, “Get down quickly, I'm in a hurry.”

Shen Xue, having failed to die, now felt only shame. She took Su Ci's hand and slowly climbed down from the railing.

Her legs were still shaking when she touched the ground.

The rush of wanting to die had passed, and now Shen Xue felt only a lingering fear. If not for Su Ci's persuasion, she really would have jumped.

“Thank you,” Shen Xue said, despite her usual pride. In this moment, she was filled with gratitude towards this girl who had saved her life.

Su Ci looked at her, her eyes narrowing slightly as she smiled, “I just saved your life, didn't I?”

Shen Xue nodded.

“A life-saving grace deserves a great repayment, right?” Su Ci asked.

Shen Xue nodded again.

Su Ci considered herself someone who expected repayment for her kindness. Now that she was Shen Xue's savior, she felt a pleasant sense of satisfaction. “In that case, you owe me a favor.”

Seeing Shen Xue's stunned expression, Su Ci narrowed her eyes dangerously, “You don't want to acknowledge it?”

“No, I understand,” Shen Xue quickly agreed.

“Add me on social media,” Su Ci took out her phone.

Shen Xue added Su Ci as a friend. Looking at her profile picture, a beautiful selfie, Shen Xue had to admit that Su Ci was even more stunning in person. Despite her own good looks, she couldn't help but feel a bit inferior.

“Alright, I'm leaving now. I'll contact you if I need help,” Su Ci said, not knowing if Lu Zhe had already left school.

Su Ci's arrival was sudden, and her departure was just as abrupt. Before Shen Xue could say anything more, the hem of her gauzy skirt had already disappeared down the stairs.

Su Ci called Lu Zhe and learned that he had already left school. She asked him to wait for her at the alley entrance.

“Lu Zhe, I'm so tired,” Su Ci said, handing him her umbrella and leaning against him as if she had no bones.

“Why are you here?” Lu Zhe asked, holding the umbrella with one hand and letting her cling to the other.

Su Ci replied naturally, “To pick you up from school and keep you company while you work.”

Lu Zhe tilted the umbrella towards her, shielding her completely from the sun.

“Lu Zhe, did anything happen in your class today?” Su Ci asked, eager for gossip. She knew Zhao Youyou must have had a conflict with Shen Xue, with Fu Baili siding with Zhao Youyou, which led to Shen Xue's attempt to jump off the building.

Lu Zhe glanced at her, “I don't know.”

Lu Zhe never paid attention to what was happening around him.

Su Ci didn't press further. “I saved a girl who wanted to jump off the roof of your school today. If I hadn't shown up, she would have died.”

Lu Zhe listened quietly. It seemed she always encountered such situations and ended up saving people.

“I know, a girl as beautiful and kind-hearted as me is like an angel,” Su Ci boasted without hesitation, “But I don't want to be an angel. Angels have to save everyone.”

She was selfish.

Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and Lu Zhe looked at her, speaking softly, “You just need to be yourself.”

Su Ci nodded, then shook her head.

She looked at Lu Zhe with sparkling eyes, her smile bright, “No, I want to be your little angel.”

She didn't want to be an angel who saved others, but she was willing to be Lu Zhe's angel.

Lu Zhe didn't respond.

Su Ci tugged at his arm, “I have something good for you.” She had just saved Shen Xue and received a new golden cotton candy.

“Hmm?” Lu Zhe lowered his gaze to see the girl's bright black eyes, filled with a mischievous intent he was familiar with.

He had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, he heard her say, “Kiss me, and I'll give it to you.”

Su Ci calculated the time; they had kissed three times the night before at the orphanage, and the time was almost up.

“Let's wait until we get back,” Lu Zhe said.

Su Ci wouldn't listen. She pulled him into the alley, eager, “I've never kissed in an alley before, I want to try it.”

In Su Ci's opinion, kissing in different settings was a fun experience.

The alley was rarely frequented, and Su Ci led Lu Zhe to stand between the walls.

Her eyes curved with delight, she enjoyed seeing Lu Zhe's resigned yet indulgent expression. “Don't you want it? If you don't, I'll give it to someone else.” Little Kuaile really liked golden cotton candy.

Hearing her say she would kiss someone else, Lu Zhe's eyes darkened.

He looked at her deeply, pressing her against the wall.

With one hand on the back of her head, Lu Zhe gazed into her bright eyes, sighing softly before his cool, thin lips pressed gently against hers, full of tenderness.

The softness of the girl was intoxicating.

Lu Zhe tightened his grip on the umbrella, tilting it to shield their bodies.

Passersby could only see the umbrella and the feet of the girl and the boy beneath it.

The sunset shyly retreated.

Emerging from the alley, Su Ci's eyes were even brighter. Even though they had only kissed lightly, this time it was Lu Zhe who initiated it, making her feel exceptionally happy. If Lu Zhe could take the lead in kissing her in the future, she wouldn't need to scheme for kisses.

“Lu Zhe, we've kissed so many times, but your kissing skills haven't improved at all,” Su Ci teased, taking advantage of her good fortune.

Each time Lu Zhe kissed her, it was a light touch, not even approaching the stage of exchanging saliva. Su Ci was just teasing the boy.

Lu Zhe's dark eyes glanced over her, then he pushed the door into the shop.

Su Ci followed behind him, her fair face filled with small satisfaction.

In the computer shop, Little Kuaile's eyes lit up when he saw Su Ci, “Ci Jiejie.”

“Little Ci is here too,” Boss Fang smiled.

“I'm here to keep Lu Zhe company while he works,” Su Ci said.

Boss Fang looked at Lu Zhe with a meaningful expression, feeling both happy and sad for him.

“Ci Jiejie, I'll have legs tomorrow!” Little Kuaile excitedly shared the good news with Su Ci.

His father had told him that he would get a pair of legs tomorrow, and then he could walk like other kids and go to school.

Su Ci was taken aback, then reached out to pat Little Kuaile's head, “That's great! Once you can walk, I'll take you to the amusement park.”

Hearing Su Ci's words, Little Kuaile's eyes lit up even more. He had never been to an amusement park before.

Little Kuaile nodded vigorously, "Sister Ci, I will learn to walk quickly." He then asked Su Ci, "If Kuaile can walk tomorrow, can we go to the amusement park the day after tomorrow?"

"Ask Brother Lu Zhe. I've never been to an amusement park either, and we need Brother Lu Zhe to take us." Su Ci passed the ball to Lu Zhe.

"Brother Lu Zhe, can we?" Little Kuaile looked at him with big, expectant eyes.

Next to them, Su Ci mimicked Little Kuaile's childish voice, also looking at Lu Zhe with bright eyes, "Brother Lu Zhe, can we?"

Faced with the black, shining eyes of both the big and small, Lu Zhe coughed uncomfortably, "Um."

With Lu Zhe watching the shop, Boss Fang pushed Little Kuaile out to stroll through the night market.

Su Ci moved a small stool and sat behind the cashier, ready to assist Lu Zhe in watching the shop diligently.

At that moment, two boys walked into the computer shop, ready to pick out a computer. Their eyes inadvertently landed on the girl sitting behind the cashier, and they were instantly stunned, unable to hide their admiration.

Lu Zhe walked up to them, his cold face expressionless, blocking their view, "What are you buying?"

"Uh... anything," one of the boys still hadn't recovered.

His friend wearing glasses nudged him with his elbow.

"A computer, I want to assemble one. Could you help me pick out the configuration?" The boy's face turned red, glancing occasionally at the cashier, "I want the best configuration."

Lu Zhe's pitch-black eyes were a bit cold, "Mm."

In less than a minute, Lu Zhe had already picked out the most expensive and best configuration for the boy, "This set is complete."

The boy looked at the bill, secretly took a deep breath, but feeling the girl's gaze at the cashier, he paid the money with a stiff face.

Seeing Lu Zhe collect the money, Su Ci, mimicking the usual staff in the shop, smiled at the boy and said, "Thank you, welcome to come again."

The boy was instantly invigorated; the pain from spending so much money was nothing compared to the sweet smile from the girl in front of him. It was worth it.

The two boys dragged their feet for a while before finally leaving the computer shop with the expensive assembled computer.

"Lu Zhe, you get a commission for selling a computer, right?" Su Ci asked the boy next to her.

"Mm," Lu Zhe's expression was indifferent. Thinking of the girl's smiling face towards others earlier, he said coldly, "Next time, you don't need to come to the computer shop. There are many people coming and going, it's quite chaotic."

Su Ci shook her head, she leaned close to Lu Zhe's ear like a boneless little fox spirit, her voice soft, she asked bluntly, "Lu Zhe, did you get jealous when that boy kept staring at me?"

Lu Zhe's eyes darkened, his thin lips pressed tightly together.

Su Ci looked at the small mole on the boy's ear, her eyes glinting with mischief, her lips almost touching the mole on his earlobe, her voice was extremely soft, "Don't worry, you're much better looking than him, I only look at you."

Lu Zhe wanted to ask, if someone better looking than him appeared, would she look at others then?

His thought had just arisen when the next second, the girl's lips lightly touched his ear.

An unusual tingling sensation shot up from the base of his spine.

Lu Zhe couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, quickly turning his head away.

Su Ci next to him laughed like a demon, "Lu Zhe, the mole on your ear is so cute."

Cuter than her little teardrop mole, she wanted to bite it, but she couldn't bear to.

When they returned to the old residential area, it was already past nine o'clock, the night was deep, and occasionally a child's laughter could be heard nearby.

Su Ci held the honey-glazed skewers that Lu Zhe had bought for her, eating with a satisfied face. It was her first time realizing that the snacks in the night market were so delicious.

She ate while walking upstairs beside Lu Zhe.

Su Ci stretched her hand with the sauce on it in front of Lu Zhe, "Lu Zhe, my hand got stained with honey sauce, help me wipe it."

The corridor was dimly lit, the girl's hand was slender and white as jade, with a light pink fingertip indeed stained with honey sauce.

Lu Zhe took out a tissue and gently wiped her hand.

Su Ci took a bite of the meat, watching the boy's serious expression as he wiped her hand, her heart softened, she held the skewer to the boy's mouth, asking him, "Do you want a bite?"

As the words fell, a deep voice suddenly sounded from the other end of the corridor, "Ci Ci."

Su Ci was stunned, and she and Lu Zhe looked over at the same time.

A tall, handsome man walked out from the darkness, his deep eyes filled with excitement, "Ci Ci, come here."

Lu Zhe's grip on Su Ci's finger tightened.

In the cramped living room, the atmosphere was a bit stiff.

Su Ci sat beside Lu Zhe, looking at the unfamiliar man opposite her, "Are you my brother?" When did she have a brother?

Before she came here, she was the only daughter of the Su family, now she had turned into a rabbit in a book.

Unless the other person was also a rabbit?

Su ZhiYuan had imagined many scenarios of finding his sister, but he never expected that his sister wouldn't recognize him.

"My name is Su ZhiYuan, you are Su Ci, I am your brother," Su ZhiYuan looked at Su Ci seriously, "Don't you remember? What about Mom and Dad, do you remember them?"

Su Ci looked at him in confusion, of course she remembered her parents, but she didn't know his, "Are you mistaken? I don't know you."

Su ZhiYuan raised his eyebrows, "Do you think anyone else could look like you?"

He and his sister Su Ci had inherited their parents' good genes, the Su family's looks were famous in City B.

Su Ci nodded, she also thought it was impossible for anyone to look like her, she was a unique beauty!

"It's also possible that you're trying to scam me, attracted by my beauty, trying to trick me away," Su Ci really didn't know the other person.

Su ZhiYuan gave his sister a speechless look, she had lost her memory, but her self-obsession hadn't changed at all.

He took out a photo and handed it to Su Ci, "This is a family photo of Dad, Mom, me, and you. If you doubt the photo is photoshopped, I can let you do a paternity test with Mom and Dad."

Su Ci pursed her lips, the people in the photo were indeed her, and the other person's tone was certain, not like a lie.

Su Ci was a bit bewildered and caught off guard, facing this suddenly appearing brother, to be honest, she felt an indescribable sense of closeness, and from the other person's facial features, she could see that they looked somewhat alike.

"Then let's do the paternity test," she also wanted to know what was going on.

"Okay," Su ZhiYuan glanced at the boy next to his sister, his eyes darkened, "I'll have someone bring Dad's hair from City B, we'll do the test the day after tomorrow."

He hadn't expected his sister to have lost her memory, no wonder she hadn't died but hadn't returned to the Su family.

Now that his sister treated him as a stranger, they could only wait for the test results to come out before he could take her away.

Su ZhiYuan left with his subordinates, he had someone return to City B overnight to get his father's hair, and for the time being, he kept the matter from his mother.

The living room returned to silence.

Su Ci blinked, she asked Lu Zhe, "Lu Zhe, if Su ZhiYuan is really my brother, what do you think I should do?"

The boy had been sitting quietly beside her, hearing the girl's question, he finally spoke, "If you are really his sister, the young lady of the Su family, you should return to your family."

Lu Zhe's cold face was expressionless, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Su Ci reached out and tugged at Lu Zhe's clothes, "The Su family is in City B, if I go back, won't you miss me?" Moreover, with her current situation, how could she leave Lu Zhe.

Lu Zhe frowned, "This place isn't suitable for you."

Aliali: 67497f30c4f3f33ac4879907She would eventually have to leave, if she could find her family, it was a good thing.

Su Ci's fingers gripping Lu Zhe's clothes tightened, the light pink fingertips turned white, she looked at Lu Zhe in disbelief.

She asked angrily, "Is Lu Zhe trying to drive me away?"

Today, the system had received a tiny bit of cotton candy from its host, [Master, Lu Zhe seems to dislike you staying here, don't give him the cotton candy.]

Su Ci glared at Lu Zhe with her watery eyes, "If I leave you, who will help me maintain my human form?"

Lu Zhe looked at her, "Before you leave, I can kiss you many times, enough to maintain your human form for a long time."

Su Ci was truly angry. Normally, even when she begged him for an extra kiss, Lu Zhe would push her away. Now, just to get her to leave, he was willing to go as far as to "overdraw"?

She snorted coldly, stood up, and directly plopped down onto Lu Zhe's lap. Under his astonished gaze, she slightly raised her chin, looking like a proud siren. "Go ahead, kiss me."

Wasn't he so eager to overdraw?

Let him kiss until his lips were swollen!
