After I Transmigrated Into a Book, a Gentle Male Supporting Character Wouldn't Leave Me Alone

My next book will be Hide-and-Seek Night. Please add it to your collection, QAQ!

Xin Yuan transmigrates into a book.

The original character is one of the villainess's minions: malicious, aiding and abetting her, and ultimately sacrificing her own future and meeting a miserable end.

Xin Yuan has just finished the college entrance exams and is ready to welcome a bright future. Now it feels like the sky has fallen.

To stay alive, she does her best to avoid the plotlines that might lead to a bad ending. All she wants is to quietly be a good person until the day she can return to her own world.

While helping the heroine, she unexpectedly crosses paths with Chen Mengtan, the heroine's intended "protector."

She thinks it'll be a brief encounter, but the other person gets attached to her.

He walks her to school, accompanies her home, buys her breakfast, and finds ways to get closer to her in every situation.

Xin Yuan: Hm? Is this right?

Chen Mengtan says it is. What's wrong with it? Isn't that what you do for someone you like?

Xin Yuan: ?? No, this really isn't right, is it?

She refuses him with righteous conviction: Don't like me. It won't work out.

However, Chen Mengtan is far more stubborn than she expected. Even Xin Yuan can't remain unmoved, and her heart slowly begins to open.

Later, after successfully staying alive until high school graduation, Xin Yuan hesitates over what will happen to her relationship with Chen Mengtan.

Then, when they're filling out their college applications, Chen Mengtan prepares to copy her entire list of backup universities.

Xin Yuan finally loses patience and lets him have it.

Chen Mengtan is stunned. Xin Yuan is stunned too when she realizes what she's said.

Hm? What did I say?

My next book will be Hide-and-Seek Night.

A cat that disappeared a year ago has returned, but only Qing Xun can see it.

Everyone thinks she's hallucinating.

Then night falls, and the cat speaks: "Mom, come with me."

Qing Xun stares in shock, thinking that she must really be at the end of her life, because why else would she hear a cat talking?

The cat turns and walks off, as if it has made up its mind.

Qing Xun hurries after it, trying to talk to it again, but it doesn't say another word, as if it really was just a hallucination.

They reach an abandoned old house. The cat leaps onto the courtyard wall, looks back at Qing Xun, and disappears.

The old lock gives way as soon as she tugs on it. The desolate courtyard contains nothing but clumps of withered weeds.

No, there are cats. More cats than she can count.

In the darkness, Qing Xun sees pairs of glowing green eyes staring at her, full of malice.

Just as she's about to turn and run, the lead cat speaks mockingly: "Trying to run away?"

"Let's play hide-and-seek."

"Find your cat, and you can take her away."

And so Qing Xun takes part in a game of hide-and-seek unlike any she's ever played.

Except their version of hide-and-seek seems completely different from the game she knows.

She enters the pet hospital where she once took her cat. The cats and dogs in the cages all have blood-red eyes and savage expressions.

She enters the university dorm where she lived for four years. After stumbling around in the dark, she looks up to find the floor indicator suddenly reads minus eighteen.

At last, she finds her dorm room, only to see another version of herself playing the pen fairy game with her roommates.

Even in her familiar home, she can hear cries of anguish coming from the hallway.

Trembling with fear, Qing Xun wonders if she'll really be able to end this game.

Maybe they just want her dead?
