[Quick Transmigration] The Clingy Spirit of the Blackened Male Supporting Character - Chapter 116

“Good night.” Gu Hanchen watched the little figure drift off to sleep, lying on the pillow with his cheeks puffed up. His eyes softened for a moment. He exited the game and searched for information related to it. But oddly, there was no information about the game. Even the smallest games typically left some trace.

Moreover, this dating game seemed exceptionally advanced but had clearly just appeared on his phone out of nowhere.

Gu Hanchen couldn’t figure it out. His legs were no longer hurting, and seeing the little figure sleep soundly strangely calmed his mood. He slowly closed his eyes.

The next day, after handling some relevant documents, Gu Hanchen’s gaze turned to his phone. Without thinking, he opened the game again. The game’s background was bright this time. The little figure was sitting in the center, hugging a piece of bread and munching on it. His cheeks were round and chubby, and he looked so cute that anyone wanted to touch him.

“It’s another beautiful day. Would you like to greet your lover?”

“Hearing sweet words will make your lover even happier.”

Gu Hanchen declined, not wanting to disturb Luo Ning. He secretly reminded himself that this was just a game that had appeared abruptly on his phone. He should be wary and not waste too much time on a fake person.

Half an hour passed, then an hour. It felt suffocating in the room, and boredom began to creep in.

When he realized it, he found himself opening the game again, as if there was a piece of candy enticing him to return.

This time, he discovered that the little figure had gone outside, holding a small pot and seemingly busy with something.

Gu Hanchen furrowed his brows. He recalled the dangers in the black soil and quickly tried to pull the little figure inside. He typed, “Don’t stay outside.”

Luo Ning turned around in surprise, a joyful smile blooming on his lips. “You’re here!”

He dashed into the house and placed the pot on the ground.

Gu Hanchen asked, “What are you doing outside?”

Luo Ning replied with a smile, “I was thirsty and wanted to drink water and make soup.”

Only then did Gu Hanchen realize that although there was no water source, it had actually rained heavily that morning, as if following some predetermined program, and the rain had abruptly stopped after half an hour.

Luo Ning thought of gathering water just in case. If one day Gu Hanchen forgot about him, he would have to eat soup made from wild vines.

“Your little lover is thirsty, would you like to buy him some water? With water can your lover be healthier.”

Gu Hanchen opened the shopping cart and noticed that many slots had lit up this time: juice, milk, and ice cream. He purchased apple milk juice, and suddenly the empty room was filled.

Luo Ning was taken aback by his generosity. When he saw the milk, his eyes sparkled. He said happily, “I love drinking milk!”

“You’re too good to me.”

Luo Ning felt a bit embarrassed for taking advantage of him and realized he couldn’t return the favor. He thought for a moment. He couldn’t see Gu Hanchen, but he knew Gu Hanchen could see him, so he shyly made a heart gesture.

“Your lover’s feelings for you have increased. He is currently acting affectionate towards you. Would you like to show more affection?”

Gu Hanchen didn’t notice how the game was enticing him to spend money. He only understood the words ‘acting affectionate’. The little figure was already so delicate. With his fluffy hair and a flush on his cheeks, he looked soft and sweet, like a delicious cake that was tempting anyone to take a bite.

Gu Hanchen’s fingers hovered. No matter how cute he was, he couldn’t touch him. His eyes darkened slightly. He bought more milk, then noticed new flavors of milk, and decided to buy a little of each.

Gu Hanchen didn’t realize that raising a cute little character could become addictive. He was now showing signs of addiction.

Upon seeing the shabby little house, he bought more blankets and bedding.

Luo Ning was almost buried by the things. He no longer had to worry about food supplies for the next month.

“Your lover’s affection level is continually rising. As a qualified partner, you should ensure your lover eats well, sleeps well, and enjoys a quality life. Please continue to make efforts!”

Gu Hanchen suddenly felt that this game didn’t seem so boring. It was actually a little fun.

Luo Ning noticed the silence in the air and gently asked, “Are you still there?”

His watery eyes showed clear reluctance, like a little deer with a glistening gaze.

Gu Hanchen’s heart stirred slightly. “I’m here.”

Only then did Luo Ning’s expression relax. He felt lonely here, and he didn’t like being alone. With Gu Hanchen around, he felt a sense of security in such a short time.

At this moment, the game reminded him, “Your lover is very bored now. A qualified partner should know how to pamper their partner. Would you like to buy him toys?”

Gu Hanchen then noticed new items had been added to the shopping list, such as novels, plush toys, and board games to pass the time. He readily bought them all.

Luo Ning was overjoyed as he hugged the freshly popped novel. He felt deeply moved. “Although I like these, I’m happier that you can just sit and chat with me.”

“I can’t do much for you. If there’s anything that makes you unhappy, you can always tell me.”

“Happy things can be shared, and don’t keep the unhappy ones to yourself.”

Luo Ning knew that Gu Hanchen wasn’t cheerful, but the fact that he was willing to show him such kindness when he was unhappy meant he was truly a kind person. He wanted to bring a bit of warmth to Gu Hanchen.

Gu Hanchen’s eyelashes fluttered slightly. He didn’t need any comfort, nor did he need to tell his unhappiness to anyone. had long stopped caring. But seeing the little figure’s serious expression, his sharp gaze softened momentarily.

He wanted to stay with the little figure a bit longer, but he had to go attend to his own matters. He reminded Luo Ning not to go outside carelessly before the phone screen faded to black.

Luo Ning spoke up again to confirm that the person had indeed left. The space suddenly felt quiet again, a sense of loss washing over him.

He sat on the blanket listlessly and hugged a plush toy. He was alone again. He shouldn’t be so clingy, but Gu Hanchen was the only person he knew.

Luo Ning picked up the novel, glad it wasn’t an academic one, just some romance. He enjoyed reading such melodramatic stories. He drank his milk while flipping through the pages.

Gu Hanchen was undergoing a medical checkup. There was deep irony in his eyes. His leg was injured, and a doctor came regularly to check on it.

However, his stepmother did not have such good intentions. Wearing a gentle facade, her concern was merely to control him, preventing him from having even the slightest chance of recovery.

Gu Hanchen suppressed the shadows in his eyes. This doctor lacked professional ethics. If this woman could bribe him, so could he. Every time he went in for a checkup, he only heard the same result.

His legs weren’t completely useless yet. However, he was still willing to play along. He just needed to lower the Gu family’s guard and deliver the most thrilling blow when they were at their proudest. That’s when it would be truly remarkable.

Gu Hanchen never underestimated this woman’s viciousness. Hearing the doctor say that there had been no progress in his condition and that his legs were recovering poorly, his stepmother Lin Shuangshuang trembled, her eyes sparkling with satisfaction. “Oh dear, how could this happen?!”

“Xiao Chen, it’s all my fault for not taking good care of you. Would you like me to find a massage therapist for you?”

“No need,” Gu Hanchen replied indifferently. She had hired a therapist to care for him before, but his condition had only worsened.

Lin Shuangshuang scoffed inwardly. She knew this worthless person would never rise again. Who would respect him without legs? She believed the Gu family wouldn’t hand over the family business to a cripple. Her son was on high ground while Gu Hanchen was destined to be trampled in the mud. Just thinking about it pleased her. She no longer cared about Gu Hanchen’s waiting, her smile becoming more genuine.

“Xiao Chen, you seem so down. Your dad won’t like that when he sees you.”

“Oh, by the way, Yuanfei is getting engaged in three days. She is a great girl, and your dad wants to throw a big celebration. It’s a pity you won’t be able to come given your condition. You’ll just have to rest at home.”

Gu Hanchen sneered, “Is that so? I remember the day Yuanfei will get engaged is also the day I had my car accident. It seems rather inauspicious. Since it’s such an important wedding banquet, Yuanfei should be cautious and not get too excited.”

Lin Shuangshuang’s expression fell immediately. This guy’s words were just not pleasing to the eyes. Just hearing it felt unlucky. She had specifically chosen that day to use Gu Hanchen’s tragedy to highlight the happy occasion. However, after Gu Hanchen’s words, she felt the date was no longer auspicious.

Glaring at Gu Hanchen, her face was full of displeasure. She left to negotiate for a different date.

Gu Hanchen coldly stepped out. He had established a research institute. Outwardly, it appeared to be an ordinary villa while the underground consisted of two floors dedicated to research.

His research plan was already halfway through, and soon it would enter the testing phase.

If this research proved useful, he believed this leverage would draw national attention. Even if the Gu family had extensive means, they wouldn’t be able to coerce him.

Gu Hanchen looked at the wheelchair beneath him, his deep black eyes failing to reflect even a glimmer of light.

…

When Gu Hanchen reopened the game, a day had already passed. He lifted his gaze from the complicated data, and suddenly the image of that soft little figure popped into his mind.

He wondered what the other was doing—was he sleeping? Or reading? He felt increasingly aware of how unusual this game was.

Typically, the characters in such games behaved like puppets, following pre-programmed actions, but Luo Ning’s actions were as normal as any person’s.

Just as he was about to look, he noticed that Luo Ning wasn’t in the house. A monster jumped out behind him, lunging at Luo Ning. Sensing the danger, Luo Ning’s expression changed drastically, and he quickly ran away. The system had altered the game’s data, but how could it forget to solve this kind of monstrous creature?!

He couldn’t contact the system and could only escape frantically towards home, his hair disheveled, his figure swift like the wind. But that lizard was quite clever. The patch of dark soil served as its camouflage and it leapt out suddenly from the front. Luo Ning didn’t know what this lizard would do, panic washing over him as he quickly changed direction.

“Your lover is in danger. Do you want to help him quickly? Try unlocking new items.”

Gu Hanchen couldn’t ignore that lizard. He quickly opened the shopping cart to find a solution and swiftly purchased the newly lit shield and mallet.
