I Refuse to Be a Supporting Character

Chapter 19

After some time, Mu Mingcheng put down his documents and turned his gaze to the new pile of papers with a contemptuous smile.

As he took off his glasses, the light that shone on his eyes seemed to reveal a heartless cold gaze that could no longer be hidden.

But when observed closely, he only showed symptoms of nearsightedness.

...****************...

In mid-June, the sun was blazing all over the capital. Just going outside causes people to feel out of breath.

In this scorching weather, Gu Jin walked out of his apartment with his shoulder bag and rushed to school.

When Tuesday afternoon came, there were no classes for the rest of the day so some students stood in the shade of trees in pairs and threes. Some will indulge in ice cream or cold herbal teas.

Meanwhile, inside the Hanxing Literature Club, a group of students sat with tables facing each other as they worked on their project.

The editors, who complete the paper-based drafts, are responsible for tracing the electronic manuscript emails and editing them.

On a hot day, only one ceiling fan in the room creaked.

“Huh~ It's like entering the deep ocean after joining the Han Xing Literature Club. Holidays will forever pass you by after joining.” The tanned-skinned youth responsible for editing the paper version of their manuscript grabbed a cup of water, only to find that the cup was empty. He took off his thick-framed glasses and leaned against the table with a displeased feeling.

“Go. If you want to stay at the club, keep doing it. But if you don't want to be at the club, just resign,” replied Tong Lin expressionlessly, who is the president of the literary society.

“Okay, you just broke my poor heart. Hey Chief, are you dating someone?”

Yang Zhe placed his hand on his chest and made a heart mark with his finger.

“Ugh...” other club members grumble with disdain. They stopped their work and complained, “Yang Zhe, if he chooses a partner, he will definitely look for someone with an attractive face. Do you think you have this trait?”

After hearing a mountain of criticism from everyone, Yang Zhe finally gave up.

The room was very relaxed after enjoying a little drama.

When Gu Jin stepped into the clubroom of the literary society, all the members inside turned their gazes to the door.

Yang Zhe narrowed his searching and whistling eyes. He said in a deep and handsome voice, “Who are you looking for, beautiful lady?”

Right after he spoke, the student next to him hit the back of his head and scolded, “Are you blind? That's Vice chairperson.”

Since he was struck without warning, Yang Zhe had no time to calm down.

Yang Zhe narrowed his eyes as he observed the appearance of the newcomer. He scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a simple smile, “It looks like the Vice-chairman has come. I thought I had seen a goddess.”

At the same time, his turbulent heart flooded the sea of tears as he worried, 'What should I do? I ended up teasing the dignified and gentle Vice-President!'

Gu Jin did not make things difficult for her. She went to their table and smiled sweetly, “Is that a compliment? Thank you." Thank you."

His smile was like the spring breeze and the blooming hibiscus; all the youths in the room could not turn away.

It was not a strange reaction, as everyone was naturally drawn to beauty based on human instinct.

Cold and handsome Tong Lin tapped his hand on the table and said, “You can rest and rest more; after we check the draft, we will publish it tomorrow.”

He looked at Gu Jin and continued, “I've read all the manuscripts you sent me. Your writing style seems to have changed this time. Not bad. Both of your works can be published.”

Gu Jin's eyes widened in surprise.

The Han Xing Literature Club was founded by the Chinese Department at the Imperial University. After several years of operation, the community is well known throughout the campus. The chairman of the club was the handsome and cold Tong Lin, while the Vice-chairman was Gu Jin.

Based on the memories of the original owner, even though the two of them were classmates, they were actually quite stiff and did not care about each other.

But now, it seemed that anyone who saw him could recognize at a glance that his style and face had changed. Where is the famous aloof and distant aura of the original owner?

Gu Jin replied with a smile, “Maybe reading a number of books recently influenced my writing style.”

Tong Lin nodded.

Reading other books while writing articles can easily affect one's writing style. It's pretty common.

By the time the group finished proofreading the script, three hours had passed. Gu Jin felt his mentality become much younger after spending time with a group of young people filled with dreams, passion, and enthusiasm.

She draped her shoulder bag on her back, rubbed her tired eyes, and prepared to return to her apartment for a good night's sleep.

Writing a paper does require a lot of mental energy. Since the original host was the vice president of the literary society, it was part of his routine to submit an article every half month.

However, the present Gu Jin did not possess the literary and artistic skills like his previous owner. He only found two long manuscripts inside the computer file and polished them a little before sending them; gu Jin barely survived with this resource.

Fortunately, the first year will be over in about a month.
