side character transmigration: the final boss is no joke

11

Ji Xiaoyu and Bei Ze were shopping for workout clothes. After changing into the couple outfits she had picked for them, they came out of the changing room with Ji Xiaoyu looking very happy as she held Bei Ze's hand.

"Xiaozhi." She spotted Bei Zhi who was standing in the corridor and dragged Bei Ze over.

"Xiaozhi, are you guys going shopping too? I wanted to bring you with us today but Ze said..." Ji Xiaoyu stuck her tongue out in 'embarrassment', which made her appear more cheekily cute. "I didn't think we'd meet here. How about we go eat together?"

"Xiaozhi... We still have a lot of stuff we have to buy, so... so we won't be able to have a meal together with Bei-shao." Lin Yin said quietly as she pulled on Shi Sheng's sleeve..

"No problem. I can let Ze go and help you guys." Ji Xiaoyu smiled as she spoke but in her eyes, one could see she was flaunting.'People at school always said Bei Ze and Lin Yin would make a great couple and thought they were perfect for each other but look, I'm the one Bei Ze likes!'

"I don't feel like eating with someone I don't like." Shi Sheng calmly spoke.

Ji Xiaoyu's mouth widened, as if she had been scared. After a while, she asked with an upset face, "Xiaozhi... dislikes me? How come? I can change."

Bei Ze also turned to look at Bei Zhi, as though he cared about her answer.

"Just don't like you—" Shi Sheng was interrupted by her phone's sudden ringing.

"Ms Bei, Ms Bei, it really is you! Great! I'm at the fifth floor right now, you (respectful) should be able to see me if you look up. The Young Master's throwing a fit again; can I trouble you to come up for a moment?"

"I'm not his babysitter." Shi Sheng didn't even give it any thought before hanging up, but they appeared unwilling to give up for they called once again. Shi Sheng simply shut off her phone.

"Let's go," Shi Sheng glanced at Lin Yin. She didn't want to stay around to get caught by those bodyguards.

"Xiaozhi..." Ji Xiaoyu suddenly grabbed onto Shi Sheng. "I know I might not have done very well in the past, but I'll learn how to do well. Please give me pointers when you can."

"Let go."

"Xiaozhi, I—"

Catching the figures of the bodyguards sprinting down the stairs in her peripheral vision, Shi Sheng quickly flung Ji Xiaoyu's hand off. However, she had probably used too much force because the girl ended up falling to the ground with a pained cry. "Ah!"

"Bei Zhi!" Bei Ze exclaimed, before turning towards Ji Xiaoyu to help her up. "Are you okay?"

Ji Xiaoyu glanced at her foot. Her forehead started forming some cold sweat and she said, "I might have twisted my foot. It's nothing. Don't blame Xiaozhi."

"Bei Zhi, stop right there!" Seeing Bei Zhi was about to leave, Bei Ze yelled out again. This shout caused the surrounding people to look over.

By this point, the bodyguards had already blocked off Shi Sheng's path to escape and were surrounding her. "Ms Bei, please help us. Please go with us."

Lin Yin looked weirdly at the men. 'Aren't these... Fu-shao's bodyguards?'

Shi Sheng frowned in annoyance. Upon seeing Bei Ze and Ji Xiaoyu looking over, she decided to go see that suicidal villain. Ji Xiaoyu was going too out of character for her tastes.

On the fifth floor, a few salespeople were huddled up in a corner. There was a mess everywhere; clothes were strewn all over the place. And in the middle of that chaos sat a young man.
