After Marrying the Cold and Elegant Beauty, I Fell in Love (GL) - Chapter 5

[System: Please make a choice as soon as possible, Host.]

“Let’s just say… does it really have to be like this to show how vicious the cannon-fodder female supporting character is? Can’t I be a normal cannon-fodder female supporting character?”

[System: Host, if you were this normal, how would you get turned into cannon fodder? The ones who become cannon fodder are all abnormal.]

That suddenly made a bit of sense. She actually had no way to refute it.

After all that fussing around, nearly the entire noon had passed.

Shen Yuru had already thrown away the damp cardboard and taken out the things inside.

“Student Han, aren’t you going to class? Your freshman courses should be quite busy right now. You mustn’t delay your classes because of me.”

Han Shuangshuang scratched her head, somewhat embarrassed.

Even her bold, high ponytail seemed to carry a trace of awkwardness.

In the first semester of freshman year, the female supporting character had failed ten out of twelve courses. Whether she went to class or not was already completely meaningless to her.

But she no longer had any reason to shamelessly stay here. And before leaving, she still had to say something so perverted.

The corner of Han Shuangshuang’s mouth suddenly twitched a little. “If Sister Shen really feels grateful to me, could you agree to one request?”

Shen Yuru tilted her head in some confusion, but still nodded after a moment of hesitation.

“Student Han, just say what you want to say. If it’s something I can help with, I’ll definitely do my best.”

Shen Yuru’s open and honest attitude made Han Shuangshuang feel even more embarrassed to say it.

Also, would this really not increase the villain’s blackening value?

One wrong step could leave eternal regret. One misstep could send her straight into a bottomless abyss.

“It’s actually nothing. It’s just… I saw that Sister Shen’s clothes in the dorm seem to have been left there for a while and are a little old now. How about I help Sister Shen take them out and wash them?”

The corner of Shen Yuru’s mouth curved slightly, and a trace of a smile appeared on her pale face. “How could I feel comfortable troubling Student Han? I can do it myself.”

“If Sister Shen says that, aren’t you treating me too much like an outsider? I already promised my mother that I would take good care of Sister Shen. Sister Shen’s heart isn’t good, so you can’t do such tiring things or increase the burden on your heart.”

Han Shuangshuang tried her best to make those puppy eyes of hers look full of sincerity while she spoke.

[System: Warm reminder, Host. You must say the system’s original words, or express the meaning the system requires Host to convey. Otherwise, the mission will not count as successful.]

The smile on Han Shuangshuang’s face had already gone stiff, but she still showed all eight teeth.

“Since Sister Shen says that, then I can’t keep hiding it either. Sister Shen knows that my studies are bad, and I don’t have much ability. My father spent money to send me into this university all so I could meet Sister Shen again and properly fulfill the instructions my mother gave me back then. Today, I finally met Sister Shen, and I protected Sister Shen with my own ability. I hope I can obtain Sister Shen’s personal clothing and burn it before my mother’s grave, so my mother will know that I’ve grown up and finally fulfilled my original promise.”

Han Shuangshuang practically said it with her eyes closed. She delivered this entire speech at an extremely fast speed. While speaking, she also prayed sincerely in her heart, hoping that the female supporting character’s mother would not visit her in a dream at midnight to scold her.

Han Shuangshuang had had one bad habit since childhood: when she lied, she did not dare look the other person in the eyes.

Her guilty eyes stared at the tops of her shoes for a long time. When she finally lifted her head, she found Shen Yuru looking at her calmly with those cool phoenix eyes.

For the first time, she understood what it felt like for one’s heart to stop.

“The clothes in the dorm have all been left there for too long. My other clothes are in the place I found outside, but right now, I have no way to bring them over for Student Han.”

Since Shen Yuru had said it to this point, Han Shuangshuang could naturally hear the refusal in her words very clearly.

[System: Congratulations to Speedy Host for completing the mission. Reward: two hundred yuan.]

It felt as though someone had stuffed a giant piece of rye bread into Han Shuangshuang’s throat. She could neither swallow it nor spit it out. In any case, it was extremely uncomfortable.

[System: The system only required Host to ask. It did not require Host to receive a response.]

Before transmigrating into the book, Han Shuangshuang had also been nothing more than a poor university student, so the two-hundred-yuan reward still made her very happy. She could indulge in a meal of hotpot or barbecue with that.

Han Shuangshuang braced herself and continued responding to Shen Yuru. “If Sister Shen feels troubled, then forget it. I’ll go back to class first. If Sister Shen needs help in the future, you must call me.”

After saying that, Han Shuangshuang immediately greased the soles of her feet and slipped away in an instant.

……

University campuses were very relaxing. University students did not have many worries, nor did they need to think about earning money. If they ran out of money, they could simply ask their families. If their families gave them too little, they could even throw a tantrum.

Han Shuangshuang opened her phone and looked at the 225 yuan in her account, then still let out a long sigh.

Different people, same fate.

The female supporting character was not liked at home. Everything in the family was managed by her stepmother. How could a woman who had risen to power as a mistress possibly be willing to spend money on the original wife’s child? So she only gave the female supporting character a little money in front of her father. At all other times, she completely ignored her. The female supporting character’s father remembered to remind her once every half a year, so that stepmother would only give her money once every half a year.

Han Shuangshuang only lamented briefly before she no longer felt much.

Because before transmigrating into the book, she had also always relied on herself to earn money through part-time jobs, pay her own tuition, and earn her own living expenses. So she did not feel too strongly about it.

After all, she had no idea what it felt like to be raised by parents or cared for by others. It was like someone who had always lived at the bottom of a well and had never seen the light. How could they know that darkness was bitter?

It was just that when she looked at the energetic people on campus, their youth bright and their smiles bold, she still felt a little envious.

The skateboarding club, the roller-skating club—she had wanted to join those before too. But buying the equipment would cost a lot of money. If she spent that money, she would have to go hungry, so she had never tried.

Han Shuangshuang sat on a bench, staring blankly at two trees on campus. Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder.

“What are you doing here? You’re skipping class but not going back to sleep? That’s really rare.”

A clear female voice sounded.

Han Shuangshuang turned her head and saw another somewhat familiar face. In an instant, a great deal of information gathered in her mind about that face.

It was the original owner’s university roommate.

The female supporting character had three roommates in total. This one was the only one who had a slightly better relationship with her.

“I heard you called Shen Yuru out. You didn’t really listen to that guy surnamed Long and push Shen Yuru into the water, did you? We can’t do that kind of thing.”

As Yan Huan spoke, she sat down beside Han Shuangshuang. “Holy crap, the post has already been updated. Did you change your entire personality today? Not only were you not bewitched, you even pushed that Wang Yahong, who’s always babbling in your ear, into the water. You also went to Shen Yuru’s dorm and backed her up?”

Han Shuangshuang’s entire state right now was one of being messy in the wind and utterly exhausted.

After saying those perverted words earlier, she immediately had the feeling that she no longer wanted to live. Fortunately, Shen Yuru’s blackening value had not increased.

“Holy crap, those three girls are way too shameless. The surveillance footage has already been pulled up, but they’re still reversing black and white and smearing you over there. Public opinion is spreading so fast, yet Shen Yuru didn’t even jump out to say a word for you. Isn’t that way too ungrateful?”

Hearing Yan Huan say that, Han Shuangshuang immediately covered Yan Huan’s mouth with one hand and cautiously looked around.

“Some things can’t be said carelessly. You’ll lose your head.”

Yan Huan angrily slapped Han Shuangshuang’s hand away. “If you’re going to cover my mouth, then cover my mouth. Why are you covering my nose too? Are you really trying to kill your own kin for righteousness and murder your father?”

Yan Huan’s familiar attitude toward her made Han Shuangshuang a little stunned.

The novel did not spend much ink describing the malicious female supporting character, but most of the writing was about how she courted death, how brainless she was, and how annoying she was. But could such an annoying person really have such a good friend?

She could not see even the slightest bit of dislike toward her from Yan Huan. The two of them were also completely casual with each other, which made it obvious that they had been getting along for a long time.

“Why are you so obedient today? Did that stepmother of yours disgust you again? Come on. Big Sis will take you to eat barbecue. Today’s bill will be paid by Young Master Yan.”

Han Shuangshuang allowed Yan Huan to pull her away.

The two of them ran off for the whole afternoon and ate until it was almost dark before coming back.

Yan Huan had drunk a little alcohol, and her tolerance was bad. Before they even reached the university, she started acting drunk and wrapped an arm around Han Shuangshuang’s neck while singing.

The two of them had walked back. After walking for more than an hour, both their legs were nearly going weak. By the time they entered the school gate, it was already past eight. In a little while, the dorms would be closing.

After walking all this way, Yan Huan had nearly sobered up from the alcohol.

Although it was almost curfew, there were still quite a few people on campus. The streetlights glowed, and some mosquitoes and insects gathered beneath the light.

The two of them walked toward their own girls’ dorm. Han Shuangshuang did not want to attract too many looks, so she pulled the drunkenly rambling Yan Huan along a road with fewer people.

Halfway there, she saw a dark shadow charging wildly toward them. It even looked like it was moving on four-wheel drive.

Behind it followed a boy, though no one knew what he was muttering.

On the university paths, the streetlights were placed at intervals. Their school was also somewhat large. After walking along a bright main road for a while, they would have to walk through a slightly darker stretch.

Only then did Han Shuangshuang clearly see that what was flying toward them was a yellow dog.

After they walked a bit farther, for some reason, the streetlight ahead was broken, leaving the area pitch-black. That dog came running toward them with something in its mouth.

Han Shuangshuang was not that curious, but she kept feeling that she seemed to have gotten infected with some kind of supreme bad luck. Having transmigrated into a malicious female supporting character, nothing good could possibly happen to her.

From far away, Han Shuangshuang heard that behind the boy, a crowd of girls was also following. They seemed to be shouting something about catching a pervert.

Yan Huan covered her mouth. “No, the alcohol’s coming back up. I’m going to find a trash can and throw up first. You go back to the dorm by yourself.”

Han Shuangshuang immediately shoved Yan Huan away in disgust.

After Yan Huan left, Han Shuangshuang discovered that the boy chasing the dog had also disappeared.

Something seemed to have hooked onto her foot. When she reached the next lit streetlight, she saw a group of girls surrounding her.

And what was hooked around her foot was actually a pair of panties.

“Caught red-handed with the stolen goods! We caught her! Pervert! Stealing girls’ underwear—who would’ve thought the scumbag was actually a girl!”

“Exactly! Who lost this? Hurry up and come claim it. We finally caught the real culprit.”

“It seems like it belongs to a junior senior, right? We chased all the way here and finally got something out of it.”

More and more people gathered around. Then Han Shuangshuang saw Shen Yuru slowly walk out from the crowd. She looked at Han Shuangshuang quietly with those phoenix eyes, then parted her thin lips and said without any emotion, “Mine.”

Han Shuangshuang: …

If she said the dog stole it, would Shen Yuru believe her?
