The Supporting Female Character Wakes Up and Gets a Happy Ending with the Female Lead (GL) - Chapter 1

“Hey, look, Li Yu is coming to our classroom again to ask Ji Baixing a question.”

The classroom, bustling with noise at the end of the afternoon school day, was loud. Lin Ji, who was half-asleep and slumped on her desk, instantly woke up when she heard the person next to her talking. She stared wistfully in Ji Baixing’s direction.

Ji Baixing was the class president of Liberal Arts Class 1, an excellent student with top grades and impeccable character, a perfect student with no faults. She was the teachers’ good child, the unattainable class president in the eyes of her classmates, and also…

The thorn in Lin Ji’s side.

“How is that asking a question? Isn’t he obviously seizing every opportunity to talk to the class president? Li Yu, the school’s notorious poor student, a failure who can’t be helped. It’s the last month before the college entrance exam. Even if he suddenly decides to study hard, it’s too late.”

“And…”

The talking suddenly stopped. Lin Ji had stood up at some point, holding a brand-new practice workbook, and strode quickly towards Ji Baixing’s seat, her face terrifyingly dark.

“Class President, since you’re so free, why don’t you explain some problems to me too?”

Lin Ji stood beside Ji Baixing’s desk, glared enviously at Li Yu, and then took her anger out on Ji Baixing, who was looking at her with a smile.

Her tone was unfriendly: “Class President, you wouldn’t be unwilling to explain problems to me, would you?”

The fact that Lin Ji had inexplicably liked Li Yu since the second year of high school was almost known throughout the entire school.

From the initial “Is Lin Ji crazy?” to the current “Lin Ji is hopelessly crazy,” everyone was speechless about Lin Ji. She started with a script for a life at the peak but later seemed possessed, becoming arrogant, unreasonable, dropping drastically in her grades, and inexplicably falling for a good-for-nothing little hooligan.

“Ah, the college entrance exam is only a month away. Lin Ji is truly the most regrettable person in this class, in my opinion.”

“Exactly. Why did she fall for a guy like that? Good-for-nothing, full of lies, a snob. Even a blind person wouldn’t go for him, right?”

“The Class President, too. It’s almost the college entrance exam, and she still has to deal with Lin Ji’s pestering. Do you remember last time? During the college entrance exam pep talk lecture, Li Yu took the opportunity to say a few words to Ji Baixing. After the evening self-study session, Lin Ji blocked the gate, forcibly pulled Ji Baixing, and made her get into her family’s car.”

“Alright, which problem do you want to ask about? All of them?”

Ji Baixing ignored the hostility in Lin Ji’s eyes, naturally took the workbook from Lin Ji’s hand, and smiled kindly. Then she turned to Li Yu and said, “I’m sorry, I need to explain problems to my own classmate first. You should head back.”

Although Li Yu was shameless, he restrained himself somewhat in front of his goddess, Ji Baixing. He gave a few awkward laughs, said a quick goodbye, and hurried away.

Lin Ji took the opportunity to sit down and stared at Ji Baixing face-to-face for a moment, her tone clearly challenging: “This entire page, I don’t know any of it. I’ll trouble the Class President to explain it all.”

Ji Baixing was neither servile nor overbearing. She slid the calculation paper halfway toward Lin Ji and began to explain the problems in a soft voice.

This day was a Saturday, so there was no evening self-study. But Ji Baixing explained problems until eight or nine o’clock before finishing. However, judging by Lin Ji’s state, she hadn’t listened at all. She was just pretending to listen to waste Ji Baixing’s time.

Seeing that it was time, Lin Ji slammed the workbook shut, grabbed a corner of it, and was about to leave.

Ji Baixing pressed down on the workbook.

“What are you doing?” Lin Ji’s eyes were full of surprise. In her memory, the quiet and easygoing class president would never do something like this.

Ji Baixing pressed firmly on her workbook, slowly stood up, and met Lin Ji’s gaze. Her usually quiet, always gently smiling, peach blossom eyes held an emotion that Lin Ji couldn’t understand at that moment.

Ji Baixing asked her, “Are you really Lin Ji?”

…

[It’s starting, it’s starting]

[Lin Ji, this foolish supporting female character. When she’s not acting stupid, she’s quite nice. Just for her looks, if she only had a little brain, she wouldn’t have ended up this way.]

[Putting everything else aside, I really love the supporting female character’s looks. Fair skin, beautiful face, slanted eyes with delicate eyebrows, a total elegant beauty! When I look at her, my heart pounds, and I’m completely smitten!]

[Haha, she’s useless the moment she opens her mouth. Why don’t we arrange for the supporting female character to just lie down for the rest of the plot.]

Lin Ji, who was sleeping on her side in bed, frowned, opened her eyes, and rolled over. She stared blankly at the ceiling, trying to figure out what she had just dreamed.

Her mind felt somewhat empty, and her thoughts were scattered. Familiar yet strange names tumbled through her mind several times, and her stomach began to churn. She hurriedly got up, wanting to rush to the bathroom, but almost fell as soon as her feet hit the floor.

Her whole body felt like a tightened spring, stepping mechanically on the ground, stiff and difficult to move, as if she didn’t belong in this body.

[The situation is a bit strange today. Is this irritating supporting female character sick?]

Lin Ji was dizzy and her vision was blurry. As she was leaning on the wall trying to move to the bathroom, she suddenly saw a line of text appear out of thin air in front of her.

Supporting female character?

What is that?

She raised her hand to touch her forehead; it felt a bit hot. Maybe she really was sick.

And quite seriously sick, to be seeing strange text.

Lin Ji dry-heaved in the bathroom for a while. She hadn’t eaten anything since waking up, so she couldn’t throw up anything, but her stomach felt even more acidic.

Leaning on the wall, she sat back down on the bed and surveyed the room.

It was a very peculiar feeling. She could feel a familiar sense of security, but also a subtle fear. But this was clearly her room, so why did she feel fear?

Knock knock knock.

There was a knock on the bedroom door. Lin Ji looked towards the door.

“Miss, it’s time to come downstairs for breakfast.”

Lin Ji habitually replied: “Okay, I’m coming, Aunt Wang. You go down first.”

Aunt Wang outside the door acknowledged her, and the sound stopped.

Lin Ji moved to the walk-in closet. Although her mind wasn’t entirely clear on what she was doing, she naturally picked up her school uniform, put it on, and then went downstairs.

Breakfast was already laid out on the dining table, but Lin Ji was the only one eating.

Perhaps because of her fever, Lin Ji had no appetite. She took a bite or two and put down her utensils.

“Miss, aren’t you going to eat more?” Aunt Wang asked in surprise.

Lin Ji slightly furrowed her brows and said faintly, “I don’t have much of an appetite. Please make some light porridge for dinner.”

She was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something and asked Aunt Wang, “What’s the name of my school?”

“Huh?” Aunt Wang was also stunned. “Oh, oh, oh, it’s Linjiang No. 1 High School. The driver is already waiting outside…”

Linjiang No. 1 High School, a key high school in C City, was full of talents. Many of the top scorers in the college entrance exam in recent years came from Linjiang No. 1 High School.

[It’s a shame that the stupid supporting female character is just a nobody who relies on her family’s money to donate a building to the school just to stay here.]

Lin Ji looked tired as she got out of the car. She had just passed the honor roll next to the teaching building and her gaze lingered for a few seconds when strange text suddenly popped up in front of her eyes again.

She frowned and checked the temperature of her forehead again.

Was she feverish to the point of confusion? How was she having hallucinations?

Ignoring it for now, Lin Ji found her classroom by habit. The moment she stepped into the classroom, she froze.

She looked at the students in the classroom, her temples throbbing painfully. Those strange and absurd things began to roll in her mind again.

For example, the girl at the door. Because the girl had said a few words about Li Yu in front of her, she had torn up two or three of the girl’s notebooks full of notes. For a senior high school student, this was a huge blow, and the girl still resented her to this day.

For example, the sports committee member sitting by the podium. Just because a ping pong ball grazed past him during P.E. class, not even touching his clothes, she had verbally abused him for the entire class period.

Even more ridiculous was the class president standing on the podium, about to lead everyone in morning reading, Ji Baixing.

Because of a boy from another class, a boy who had absolutely nothing to do with their class, she had made things difficult for, provoked, and targeted Ji Baixing in various ways.

This included but was not limited to blocking her after evening self-study, pulling her into her family’s car without a word to intimidate her; or deliberately finding a bunch of brain-consuming, confusing problems and insisting on using all of her break times and lunch hours to make her explain them, even though she didn’t listen at all; or even tricking her into leaving during the exam period, making her almost miss the test…

Lin Ji stood at the door, feeling only a surge of heartache and coldness. Even though it was the height of summer with the blazing sun, she felt no warmth whatsoever.

She must be crazy. Putting everything else aside, to make things difficult for and target another girl just because of a guy, and out of jealousy or something—it was incredibly absurd!

It was too much! Absolutely ridiculously sick!

She was too clear about her own sexual orientation. She had always liked girls. Even if she had a decade’s worth of a brain clot, she wouldn’t do something like this!

If she had beaten up the male lead because she liked that girl, that would be more understandable.

“Lin Ji.” Ji Baixing held the Chinese textbook and slightly looked towards the door, reminding her in a gentle voice, “It’s time for morning reading.”

Lin Ji snapped back to her senses, glanced at Ji Baixing with a complicated expression, nodded slightly, and walked towards her seat.

“How strange. Lin Ji didn’t snap at the Class President today.”

“Shh, keep your voice down. Do you want your notes to be thrown away again?”

Ji Baixing picked up the Chinese textbook, turned to the classical text they had memorized countless times, and started, leading the whole class in reading. The moment everyone lowered their heads, she looked towards Lin Ji’s direction.

[She’s not really sick, is she? The supporting female character is so quiet today?]

Lin Ji sat down in her seat, opened her book, and drowsily looked at the classical text. She followed the class for a few sentences, but at this moment, she felt dizzy and her eyelids were heavy. She blinked a few times and then fell soundly asleep.

Before losing consciousness, she saw the strange text in the air again. Her consciousness blurred, and she wondered if the pressure from the college entrance exam had given her some kind of mental illness.

But she couldn’t think too much. In a daze, she heard someone call her name a few times. She just instinctively mumbled a few words. Before she could manage to lift her head, the voice said, “You all continue with morning reading. I’ll take her to the infirmary.”
