I Refuse to Be a Supporting Character
Chapter 34-35
Chapter 34: He Cares to You
Gu Jin's eyes widened in surprise. Of all the people, why did Cheng Xin speak pretently true about 'loyal'? This is really ridiculous.
He lowered his eyes and suddenly smiled. “You don't know? That I broke up with Shao Chong?”
“Connect?” Cheng Xin repeated. “How did you guys break up? Did Shao Chong make a mistake with you?”
Cheng Xin angrily said: “Alright Shao Chong, how dare you bully my best sister. Gu Jin, wait, I will take Jing Hao with me to give the man a good lesson!”
It wasn't his fault, Gu Jin explained. “I'm the one who cut ties with him.”
Just as Cheng Xin was about to make a phone call, she suddenly stopped in disbelief at what she heard. “How can... You are the one..”.
He knew Gu Jin's temperament and how much he liked Shao Chong.
Although he did not confirm his relationship with Jing Hao, whenever they went with a group of people, Gu Jin would always look at Shao Chong and secretly blush.
Cheng Xin had never met a girl as quiet and gentle as Gu Jin.
So after he rejected Shao Chong, he helped unite the couple.
To him, Gu Jin and Shao Chong were two very good people who would definitely live happily together.
But now Gu Jin told him that he let go of Shao Chong, and Cheng Xin did not understand.
“That's because the person he likes isn't me,” Gu Jin said openly. “Mother told me that I should not find a man who does not like me so that my future does not become a tragedy.”
Cheng Xin opened her mouth and found herself speechless. He could not force himself to admit that the person Shao Chong had liked all along was him.
“Well, you can't just find another man and get along,” muttered after a long pause.
Gu Jin raised an eyebrow. “You, don't know who that guy is?”
Cheng Xin could not see the appearance of her new boyfriend from such a far distance. He frowned and asked curiously, “Should I know him? Who is he?”
“Nothing,” Gu Jin reassured with a smile. “I'm not feeling well. I'm going to take a shower, and you should go to bed early because tomorrow there's class.”
“Ya.” Cheng Xin moved in.
Just as Gu Jin was about to close the door, Cheng Xin inevitably said: “Gu Jin, I think you should reconsider Shao Chong. He has been asking me about you for the past few days.”
He suppressed the slight discomfort in his heart and said, “He cares for you.”
“Yes, I know,” replied Gu Jin, then closed the door.
Gu Jin took a hot bath, completely exhausted. Then as she lay on the bed with the hot water bottle, she felt perplexed at the thought of the events earlier that day.
Could he agree to Mu Mingcheng's ridiculous request?
Is it too late to go back?
It's definitely too late.
His phone rang with a message from Mu Mingcheng.
“Honey, go to bed early. You don't have to call me today.”
The affectionate term made Gu Jin worried and he dropped his phone onto the bed. He shuddered as goosebumps pierced his skin.
He thought for a moment, then picked up his phone and changed the name on the contact list to 'Stupid Tyrant Mu'.

Chapter 35: The Unknown Caller
The next day, Gu Jin slept until 11pm; he woke up after hearing his phone vibrate continuously.
Her snow-white silk nightgown seemed to be pulled to her waist while her black hair covered the pillow like a waterfall. That's a pretty enthralling sight.
When he pulled out his phone, the screen displayed an unknown number.
So he hung up the phone.
Yesterday, wearing a pair of ten-centimeter heels for a few hours did not bother him at all. But after waking up in the middle of the night, he could only feel an excruciating pain in his legs.
The pain in his lower abdomen had still not subsided completely.
Must be swollen and tender!
In the middle of the night, Gu Jin opened his medicine box and grabbed the active oil, then massaged his stomach for half a night before falling asleep at dawn.
Fortunately, he only had two classes to attend in the afternoon. Gu Jin did not know when the phone finally stopped ringing, and he wanted to sleep.
Who keeps interrupting her break with these few phone calls?
At this moment, he only wanted to sleep soundly, without anyone interfering with his exciting dream of playing chess with Zhou Gong.**
(**T/N: “play chess with Zhou Gong” ⁇ refers to a state of falling asleep and dreaming happily.)
The previous ten phone calls may have come from advertisers selling insurance and other services.
She leaned back on the bed and closed her eyes as the phone rang again. One by one, urgently.
Gu Jin rubbed his hair, making it look like a chicken nest.
“Hei~”
He took a deep breath and sat down to answer his phone.
However, at the other end of the line, it was Shao Chong who listened to Gu Jin's soft voice, with a sleeping tone, with a uniquely seductive hoarse voice due to just waking up.
His heart is pounding.
His throat became dry, and when Gu Jin was about to hang up impatiently, he said, “This is me.”
Gu Jin felt a sense of confusion seeping through his sleepy mist.
He looked at his phone and saw it was not Shao Chong's number. That number is already on his blacklist.
He leaned back on his bed and slowly said, “So, this is Mr. Shao.”
Master Shao?
How could he call her so formal?
Shao Chong frowned, his heart sinking into unhappiness.
He reluctantly suppressed that feeling and in a soft voice asked, “Are you awake?”
Gu Jin closed his mouth and yawned. He didn't want to talk to insensitive trash like him. He said, “Is something wrong, Mr Shao? I'm busy preparing for the exam, so I'll hang up first.”
“Wait,” he stopped her before she would disconnect the call. He asked hesitantly, “Why didn't you answer my phone?”
So, you changed your number to keep calling?
Gu Jin rolled his eyes and without hesitation: “We broke up, and it is not a good idea to contact each other. My boyfriend will be jealous.”
Her boyfriend?
Shao Chong wanted to take the opportunity to talk to him and take him for a walk. Gu Jin was cold to her for a few days, and Cheng Xin was unhappy with her.
Who knew he would hear this amazing news?
Just a few days ago Gu Jin said he wanted to break up with her in the apartment downstairs.
