Side Character Transmigrations: The Final Boss is No Joke

CHAPTER 6-10

While Bei Ze and Ji Xiaoyu were having a bonding session, Shi Sheng went off to go do something else.

Ji Xiaoyu only had her father ever since her mother died when she was young. However, this father of hers was always busy working and often neglected her. Ji Xiaoyu was a bit estranged from him because of her mother’s death, so their relationship wasn’t that strong.

Papa Ji liked to buy lottery tickets. He was carrying out his daily routine of purchasing one after he got off from work when he bumped into a girl at the entrance of the shop, and the ticket which he hadn’t been holding onto tightly dropped to the floor.

“Are you blind?! Can’t you see there’s someone walking here?!” Papa Ji scolded.

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” The girl hurriedly picked the ticket up and handed it over to him.

“Be more careful next time!” Papa Ji roughly tugged it back. “Youngsters these days are so clumsy.”

“I’m sorry. I won’t do it again.” The girl apologised continuously before running off.

After turning the corner, the girl headed for a coffee shop and sat down in front of a young woman, whose expression didn’t change at all.

This young woman was Shi Sheng.

“Here.” The girl pushed the lottery ticket to Shi Sheng. “The money?”

Shi Sheng took out a few banknotes from her bag and passed them to her. The girl left after receiving the money.

Shi Sheng smiled, a bit sinisterly, as she looked at the lottery ticket on the table. ‘Overnight fortunes ah!’
……

On the day of the celebration, everything had already been prepared. Only the person fetching the costumes hadn’t arrived yet.

“How come she still hasn’t returned? Hurry up and call her! And why isn’t Bei-shao here?”

“Bei Zhi, have you seen Bei-shao?” Lin Yin walked over with an anxious expression.

Shi Sheng looked up before shaking her head. “I don’t know. I didn’t see him last night.”

“President, President, we’re going up next!”

“President, Ji Xiaoyu and Bei-shao aren’t picking up their phones!”

‘Of course their phones aren’t being picked up! They’re busy cultivating feelings so their phones would be off!’

The group of people got more and more distressed as the time to go on stage drew closer and closer.

“They’re here, they’re here; they’ve returned!”

Ji Xiaoyu and Bei Ze were surrounded upon turning up backstage.

“Ji Xiaoyu, where are the costumes?”

“Bei-shao, hurry up and put on your makeup.”

People kept chattering but the two didn’t move at all.

Only now did the babble halt, for everyone noticed the two of them looked very dishevelled.

“I’m sorry…” Ji Xiaoyu suddenly spoke, breaking the silence. “I lost the clothes.”
……

“Ji Xiaoyu, this isn’t the time to be cracking jokes.” Someone spoke.

“I’m not joking.” Ji Xiaoyu found herself unable to meet the eyes of so many and subconsciously hid behind Bei Ze, who blocked her with his body. His actions proved that the costumes had really been lost.
