I Refuse to Be a Supporting Character

Chapter 121: Meeting Again

Shang Jiayu quipped: “Gu Jin, I want to hold your thighs tightly, please take care of me in the future.”

Shang Jiayu wasn't there that day when Shao Chong came, so she only heard the news after appearing on the headlines. When she asked her boyfriend about it, he said he knew. Although he asked in more detail, he did not reply but only smiled mysteriously.

Gu Jin rolled his eyes and said: “Alright, but I'm afraid my thighs are too thick for you to hold.”

Shang Jiayu subconsciously glanced at the skinny legs pulling her friend covered in jeans and commented: “I'm afraid I won't be able to stick to you, just in case I make Mu Mingcheng who is chasing you become annoyed.”

When the two men arrived at the library, they felt a cool AC and drowned in the quiet atmosphere of the library.

Gu Jin buried his head in his textbook to write and draw. Suddenly, from the corner of his eyes, he saw a familiar figure.

In the afternoon, the coffee shop had some customers sitting around.

Sunlight filtered through the glass window, but was blocked by the silk curtain, letting some rays of light in.

The shop was peaceful and relaxing as soothing music played.

Gu Jin lowered his head and stirred a cup of coffee with a wooden spoon. He gently sipped, feeling the bitterness with a hint of acid.

After just a mouthful, he lost interest and put the cup back on the table. He placed his chin on his right hand and silently watched the scene outside the window.

He had the waiter bring him a cup of sweet coffee instead of this bitter one.

He held the bitter cup and took a slight sip from time to time.

Shortly after, Gu Jin no longer wanted to continue drinking it, when he suddenly heard a voice saying: “Jin small, long time no see. You become more beautiful.”

“You too,” Gu Jin sat down and stroked the porcelain cup with his finger. “You become more mature.” In the past, this girl had never praised or flattered anyone else.

There is a price to pay for such maturity.

Again, the mood became quiet.

Gu Jin was right. After being out of touch for over a month, Cheng Xin could barely recognize this haggard, dim-witted woman.

Dim, not in his physical state, but in his mental state.

Gu Jin recalled his life with Cheng Xin when he first crossed over to this novel world. She knew that Cheng Xin was used to being treated like a princess while former host Gu Jin was like a shy shadow, satisfying Cheng Xin's ego as a favored princess.

Back then, Cheng Xin was proud of her love and friendship with the former host. His eyes were always filled with life. There was no harm in befriending someone with an elegant temper like Gu Jin.

Come to think of it, it was the best time for their relationship as sisters.

Things change with time.

Today, Cheng Xin was still beautiful and beautiful, but the bright and lively luster in her eyes was no longer there. Only a layer of sadness remained.

In the past, he would never have realized Gu Jin's unwillingness to drink bitter coffee, let alone have someone turn his coffee sweet.

It seemed like he had experienced many things and become an adult during this period.

Gu Jin knew that his cousin's life wasn't easy these days. Even if Gu Jin was one of the people who brought Cheng Xin to this state, seeing a mature girl like this easily made him let go of any traces of intolerance to just disappear.

Whether it was the original host or the current Gu Jin, both of them could be said to be quite good-natured towards Cheng Xin. Gu Jin never owed her anything, nor did he take the initiative to hurt her, so there was no need to feel guilty.

“I came to you today to apologize and share a few words.” Cheng Xin's eyelashes pointed down as she said, “I'm sorry for the loss I've done to you.” Perhaps she Xin had gotten used to being a precious pearl in someone's hands since childhood, so apologizing was difficult for her. His voice was low and he spoke slowly.
