The Female Lead is a World Destroying Demon [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 4
In the afternoon, Yu Yao took Zhao Chuji to buy a bunch of school and daily necessities, and also replaced Zhao Chuji’s phone with a new one.
Most of the students in private schools came from well-off families, and Yu Yao did not want Zhao Chuji to be ridiculed by others because of her phone.
But on the surface, Yu Yao only told Zhao Chuji that she needed to take online classes to catch up with the teaching progress, and that a new phone would make it more convenient for her to search for learning materials.
“Don’t worry, while you are at school, Xiao Hei will be kept at my place. He definitely won’t go hungry.”
This time, Yu Yao bought a large pile of items again, including a cat bed and cat food for Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei was very understanding of human nature. Since it was inconvenient for the two of them to bring him along while strolling through the shopping mall, he had remained quietly inside the car the entire time.
After Zhao Chuji got into the car, he obediently curled up on Zhao Chuji’s lap.
The two of them strolled around until evening before Yu Yao finally sent Zhao Chuji back home.
“Tomorrow I will bring breakfast over to you, and along the way, I’ll take you through the route to the school.”
She helped carry the things back to Zhao Chuji’s room, and also installed a surveillance camera at Zhao Chuji’s doorway before planning to go home.
But for some reason, Xiao Hei refused to crawl into his cat bed and kept clinging to Yu Yao as she walked outward…
“I was the one holding him down when he got his injection, so he might be a little afraid of me right now,” Zhao Chuji explained beside her in a soft and weak manner.
As if to echo Zhao Chuji’s words, the moment Zhao Chuji reached out her hand, Xiao Hei meowed and tightly hugged Yu Yao’s leg.
Xiao Hei’s appearance looked a bit like he was experiencing a stress response; it seemed he would not be able to rest at Zhao Chuji’s place tonight.
“Then I will take him back to my house first, and I’ll bring him back tomorrow.”
“You get some good rest.”
Yu Yao had no choice but to pick up Xiao Hei and return to the car.
She gazed at the lights on the fifth floor, recalling the young girl’s gentle and obedient appearance, feeling as though she was playing a large-scale real-life child-rearing game.
The doll she was raising was extremely beautiful, and truly delicate and lovable.
She could not help but want to do more things for Zhao Chuji.
She contacted “X” again.
“Thank you so much for the matter regarding the marketing accounts; you helped clear Chuji of the false accusations.”
“I have changed Chuji to a new school, and school starts the day after tomorrow. If you have time, could you watch over her at the school for me to see if she is being bullied by anyone?”
“The price is highly negotiable.”
“X’s” phone was kept on silent year-round, so Yu Yao always communicated with him through text messages.
After sending the message, Yu Yao waited for half a minute. Seeing that “X” did not reply and was perhaps busy, she closed the chat interface.
A movement rustled on her shoulder. Xiao Hei had climbed onto her shoulder at some unknown point, tilting his head with an air of great importance, his golden eyes completely motionless as he stared at her screen.
For a brief split second, Yu Yao developed an absurd sensation that Xiao Hei was peeking at her screen.
She laughed silently to herself, feeling that she had lost her mind. She could not resist pulling Xiao Hei into her arms, tapping his forehead: “You lean all the way over here, can you even understand it?”
Xiao Hei tilted his head ignorantly, looking at her and meowing.
Yu Yao smiled and shook her head, placed Xiao Hei back into the passenger seat, and drove home.
When she arrived home, “X’s” reply also came through. He was clearly not busy, as he placed a phone call over.
“I am free for the upcoming month.”
“As for you, you are actually even sending her to school. I thought you intended to keep her as a little lover…”
“X’s” work brought him directly face-to-face with the privacy of his employers, so he spoke very straightforwardly.
Yu Yao scratched Xiao Hei, who was curled up in her arms with his ears pricked up. Not wanting him to misunderstand Zhao Chuji, she fabricated a motive based on her understanding of this world.
“Whether you believe it or not, I have no bad intentions toward her. Right now, I only want to focus single-mindedly on my career.”
“If I absolutely must describe my feelings toward her, I am making an idol-nurturing investment.”
“She is so beautiful and smart; she will definitely have boundless prospects in the future. When that time comes, I will surely obtain a handsome return on my investment.”
“X” fell silent for two seconds. Recalling her original cowardly and useless conduct, he felt that she was also incapable of doing something like forcibly occupying a minor, so he believed her statement.
“That works too. You investing your money in her is at least better than throwing it into that original bottomless pit.”
“I take this job! Send the deposit to me in a moment, and I will start working the day after tomorrow.”
After settling this matter, Yu Yao also breathed a sigh of relief. She played with Xiao Hei for a little while longer, and then fell asleep afterwards.
The next day, she was awakened by a strange sensation on her cheek.
Xiao Hei had already climbed onto the bed at some unknown time, rubbing against her cheek and nestling against her chest. His ears were naturally lowered, his tail was wagging gently, and his eyes were half-squinted, clearly enjoying himself immensely.
Seeing her wake up, Xiao Hei leaned closer again to rub against her cheek.
It simply melted her heart with cuteness!
Yu Yao knew that this was a kitten’s gesture to express affection.
Her pajamas had been pulled open quite a distance by the kitten, exposing a large patch of snow-white skin, but she did not mind it, indulging Xiao Hei as he continued to play.
It was not until the alarm clock set the previous night rang that she reluctantly picked up Xiao Hei, placed him into his cat bed, and scattered a handful of cat food for him.
“We still have to go meet your Chuji sister; we need to get out of bed.”
Going to Zhao Chuji’s apartment only took a little over ten minutes, so Yu Yao decided to walk over.
After washing up, she picked up Xiao Hei, went downstairs to buy breakfast, sent a message to Zhao Chuji, and then unhurriedly hurried toward Zhao Chuji’s place.
Whenever she saw things along the way, she wanted to buy them for Zhao Chuji. By the time she arrived downstairs at Building No. 5, she had bought another large pile of fruits and snacks.
Zhao Chuji was also out of bed. The house had been cleaned very thoroughly by her, arranged so neatly and orderly that it looked as if no one lived there.
The two of them ate breakfast together, and then Yu Yao held Xiao Hei, leading Zhao Chuji to walk slowly toward the school.
“If you don’t know the way, just memorize the landmarks on the road.”
Yu Yao passed on her own experience: “There is a Li Family Cake Shop here. The tiger-skin cake from their shop is very delicious. I will buy some for you when I come back.”
“The owner of this stationery shop is my Uncle Wang. We are from the same village. He is very enthusiastic, so you can look for him if you encounter difficulties…”
“And also—”
Catching sight of several ruffian-like, yellow-haired young men walking over from ahead, and seeing that those people’s gazes were all landing on Zhao Chuji, Yu Yao knit her brows tightly together and could not help but pull Zhao Chuji’s hand.
Those people originally seemed to want to come over to strike up a conversation, but seeing Yu Yao standing on full alert beside her, they merely rubbed their noses and walked far away crestfallen.
“Chuji, you are still young. The most important thing is to study hard. When you grow up and achieve success in your studies, you will be able to choose from many excellent people…”
She knew that children of this era matured early, and Zhao Chuji understood the words she was saying, but the moment she thought about how Chuji who was as pure and beautiful as a flower bud might date a yellow-haired ruffian, she could not help but speak with earnest and well-meaning advice.
“Sister Yu Yao, I know.”
Zhao Chuji smiled and answered obediently.
In reality, her memory was very good, almost to the point of photographic memory. Yu Yao’s experience in memorizing roads was completely unnecessary for her.
However, she did not dislike Yu Yao’s nagging voice.
She could not explain clearly what kind of feeling this was; it was a bit noisy, yet it was like the gloomy sky had suddenly smashed open a rift, allowing warm sunshine to shine down upon her body.
“If these people harass you, you must tell me!”
Yu Yao gave an uneasy exhortation before leading Zhao Chuji to continue walking forward.
Having familiarized themselves with the route, Yu Yao then took Zhao Chuji to the vegetable market to buy a large quantity of groceries.
“You start school tomorrow; we must celebrate properly today!”
Yu Yao brought Zhao Chuji back to her own home. She declined Zhao Chuji’s offer to help, entering the kitchen by herself to stir-fry a few dishes, letting Zhao Chuji play with Xiao Hei in the living room.
Zhao Chuji sat on the sofa. Xiao Hei snuggled within her embrace. As his golden eyes met her gaze, Xiao Hei’s memories from last night flooded into her mind like a torrent.
So it turned out that Yu Yao had found someone to help clear her of the director’s slander.
What kind of person was this “X”?
An idol-nurturing investment? Was this truly Yu Yao’s intention…
Zhao Chuji narrowed her eyes slightly and touched the knife inside her sleeve: although she had moved into a good house that she had never dared to think about before, she had not slept well these past two nights, keeping a knife beneath her pillow.
She was afraid that Yu Yao would suddenly turn against her, revealing a ferocious and filthy true face before she could react in time…
But if Yu Yao truly had this kind of purpose, wanting to invest in her future, she could instead set her mind at ease.
While she was pondering, she rapidly scrolled through Xiao Hei’s memories, when unexpectedly, a patch of dazzling white skin suddenly burst into her view!
Furthermore, Xiao Hei’s pleased and relaxed emotions from that moment were transmitted along with it, causing her to uncontrollably shudder.
“You…”
She swiftly cut off the memory, glaring at the innocent-looking Xiao Hei who was tilting his head at her. Biting her lip, she could not help but blush.
