The Supporting Female Character Wakes Up and Gets a Happy Ending with the Female Lead (GL) - Chapter 10

It was a rare weekend break before the exam. Lin Ji woke up, quickly washed up, ate breakfast, and went back upstairs.

The practice test papers, previously disguised within comic books, were now rescued and openly spread across her desk.

Lin Ji sat down at her desk, picked up the small clock nearby, set the alarm for an hour and a half, grabbed her pen, and was just about to start solving problems when her phone suddenly vibrated.

Lin Ji hesitated for a few seconds, ignored it, and lowered her head to continue studying.

She didn’t have many friends. Her parents were busy with work, and Sunday was their fixed time to contact her. Moreover, ever since she started “misbehaving,” even the weekly fixed call had stopped, and she only occasionally heard Aunt Wang giving her parents updates about her situation.

Lin Ji paused for a moment at this thought.

Since Aunt Wang had guessed she was studying late at night, she must have reported to her parents that she was studying diligently, right? But she often got into trouble before, and the school must have called her parents to inform them of her series of crazy acts at school…

So how could her parents be so calm about it? Why didn’t they give her a good beating and make her mend her ways?

The phone suddenly started vibrating again. This time it vibrated continuously, like an incoming call.

Lin Ji picked up the phone. It was her mother calling.

She also had one unread text message.

“Mom,” Lin Ji answered the phone.

“Hey, Mumu, have you had breakfast? Are you studying?” Xu Jing said to Lin Ji while choosing clothes. “Your father and I are done with work here, and we should be back tonight.”

Lin Ji’s lips slightly parted, and her hand resting on the test paper was stiff.

Her personality was already somewhat reserved, and few people called her by such a term of endearment. For a moment, she subconsciously doubted if she was Lin Ji, but the sense of familiarity from the person on the other end put her mind at ease.

“I’ve had breakfast. When will you be home tonight?” Lin Ji asked quietly.

Xu Jing finished choosing her clothes: “Around five or six. Oh, Mumu, let’s go out to dinner tonight. With a friend of your dad’s, Uncle Zhao. Do you remember him?”

Lin Ji closed her eyes and thought for a long time but couldn’t recall ever knowing an Uncle Zhao.

“Aiya, he’s the Uncle Zhao who held you when you were little. He has a daughter too. You two even played together when you were kids.” Xu Jing turned to ask Lin Que, “Hey, Old Lin, isn’t Old Zhao’s daughter also taking the college entrance exam this year?”

Lin Ji heard her dad respond from his end: “Yes. She’s coming to dinner with us tonight. Old Zhao even told me his daughter wanted to ask our Mumu out. Since both are taking the college entrance exam, they can discuss their studies.”

“Mumu, did you hear that? Should your dad and I pick you up when we get back, or will you come on your own?”

Lin Ji thought for a moment: “I’ll come myself. Just send me the address.”

“That’s good. See you tonight, Mumu. I brought you a gift from my business trip. I’ll give it to you when I get back tonight.” Xu Jing said goodbye and hung up.

Lin Ji held the phone and was distracted for a while, wondering whose daughter she knew who wanted to discuss studies with her.

It couldn’t be a stranger, could it? But she really couldn’t remember. She was about to put down her phone and continue studying when she suddenly remembered the unread text message.

In this day and age, anyone still sending text messages was either spam or a scam.

Lin Ji originally planned to glance at it and then block the number.

But she suddenly stood up with a start, grabbed a jacket from the side, and was about to rush out the door. However, she looked down at the pajama top she hadn’t changed out of and rushed back into the walk-in closet.

[? What’s going on? What text message? Let me see.]

[I don’t know. I didn’t see it clearly.]

[This live stream is something else. It’s not a TV show. Why are they trying to build suspense like this?]

Lin Ji went into the closet, changed into light, casual clothes, grabbed a sun hat, put it on her head, and rushed out the door.

Since she hadn’t planned to go out today, the family driver hadn’t come in the morning.

Lin Ji glanced at her phone, walked toward the community gate, and called a taxi.

As soon as she reached the gate, the taxi arrived.

“Are you going to the City Library?”

“Yes. Please hurry,” Lin Ji was somewhat anxious, checking the text message on her phone from time to time.

The text message was from an unfamiliar number. When Lin Ji left, she tried to call it, but it was turned off.

[City Library? Why does that sound familiar? What was that plot point?]

[Ji Baixing said Li Yu asked her to the City Library and asked Lin Ji if she knew about it.]

[Ah, no way. Didn’t the female lead say she got it wrong?]

[Looking at the supporting female character’s actions, it doesn’t seem like a mistake. But, didn’t the supporting female character say she absolutely doesn’t like Li Yu? Why is she running after Ji Baixing like this?]

[Is it possible, I mean, is it possible that the supporting female character actually likes the female lead?]

Lin Ji no longer had time to pay attention to the words floating in front of her. She tried calling the strange number that sent the text message again. This time someone picked up, but just as Lin Ji was about to ask, the call was hung up.

When Lin Ji called again, the phone was off.

Fortunately, the City Library had arrived. Lin Ji paid the fare and got out of the car. She took a detour and was about to walk through the main entrance when her phone suddenly vibrated again.

Lin Ji picked up her phone and looked.

[It’s me, Li Yu. I asked your Class President to the library to study today. What do you think, are you coming?]

Lin Ji’s eyes, hidden in the shadow of her sun hat, grew icy. A surge of anger seemed to press down on her, making her intimidating without cause.

Lin Ji raised her hand and typed.

[Which floor of the library]

[Third-floor study room. If you’re coming, remember to bring three cups of milk tea. You still remember what I like to drink, right?]

Li Yu, sitting in his seat, finished typing the message with a scornful smile and threw his phone to Ji Baixing, who was sitting opposite him.

“See? Lin Ji has been chasing me for two years. How could she stop liking me just because she says so?” Li Yu still had a bandage on his forehead and bruises on his face. He was already unattractive, but now he looked even worse.

“I told you, she’s not just a little jealous. As soon as she hears I’m with you, she’ll come running.” Li Yu took a sip of hot water, then grimaced and spat the water back into the cup. “It’s just that I’ve been looking for you a bit more often these past few weeks, and she got angry. Just need to humor her a bit, and it’ll be fine.”

Ji Baixing quietly looked at the text message on the phone, smiling. She just smiled silently and didn’t say anything else.

Seeing Ji Baixing smile but remain silent, Li Yu, for some reason, leaned in closer to the table: “Class President Ji, I’ve been showing you affection for a long time, haven’t I? Aren’t you going to give me some benefit?”

“Look, Lin Ji tries so hard to please me, and I still know to give her some benefits now and then.” Li Yu saw Ji Baixing subtly increase the distance between them, and his temper flared. “I don’t really dare provoke Lin Ji. After all, her family is rich and hard to mess with.”

“But Class President, you’re different. Anyway, I can’t go back to school now. I’m practically expelled. I’m not afraid of anything.” Li Yu smiled wryly. “It’s normal for a student to run into a few thugs on the way home after evening self-study.”

Ji Baixing still didn’t show any fear. She just smiled faintly and replied to Li Yu: “You can try.”

Li Yu opened his mouth to say something more, but he saw Ji Baixing suddenly look behind him, her pupils shining like stars, as if she had seen someone she liked.

Lin Ji stood at the library’s stairwell, looking around, and suddenly met Ji Baixing’s gaze.

Lin Ji pursed her lips, feeling a sudden nervousness.

No, it wasn’t just nervousness. There was something else. It was a mix of anger, fury, unease, and tension, making her chest feel numb.

But the moment she saw Li Yu turn his head, her anger reached another breaking point.

From the moment she gained self-awareness, she had been disgusted by Li Yu.

Li Yu was not some devoted lover who only liked the female lead. He was a notorious womanizer. As long as someone was pretty and caught his eye, he would flirt with them.

He had eagerly pursued both her and Ji Baixing, but because he couldn’t afford to provoke either of them, some of his actions weren’t as blatant.

Several girls in Li Yu’s class had been harassed by him, either transferring schools or trying to rank high in the next exam to switch classes.

The moment Lin Ji became self-aware and realized she was programmed to be like an idiot, occasionally showing affection to Li Yu, she felt sick to her stomach.

Fortunately, it was only when Li Yu and Ji Baixing interacted that she, due to jealousy, would deal with Li Yu.

Lin Ji’s face was cold as she walked unhurriedly towards the corner of the library where Li Yu and Ji Baixing were.

“See? I said to buy milk tea, and she bought milk tea.” Li Yu was momentarily afraid when he saw Lin Ji’s icy stare, but the sight of the milk tea in Lin Ji’s hand instantly reassured him.

Lin Ji walked up to the study table and quietly placed the three cups of milk tea on the table.

“You’re here. Sit down, wherever you like.” Li Yu spoke creepily to Lin Ji, becoming even more arrogant when he saw the milk tea Lin Ji bought. “Oh, Mango Pomelo Sago. You still remember what I like to drink.”

“I told you, there’s no way you don’t like me anymore, right?”

Li Yu reached out to grab it, but Lin Ji moved the milk tea back slightly.

Li Yu’s expression changed. Lin Ji didn’t even look at Li Yu and casually muttered, “It’s too cold.”

Li Yu: “Oh, right, right. It’s too cold. Then you take it out for me.”

Lin Ji stood by the table, slowly taking out the milk tea, her expression indifferent, lost in thought.

She didn’t notice Ji Baixing’s restrained smile and the steady gaze directed at her, devoid of any visible emotion, her deep black pupils seeming to conceal everything.

“Why is it taking so long?” Li Yu started to rush her.

Lin Ji didn’t answer Li Yu. She looked down at the milk tea in her hand and said to herself, “This isn’t Mango Pomelo Sago. It’s just a regular mango drink.”

“When I asked you to pay back the money last time, you might have been too beaten up to hear clearly,” Lin Ji tossed the milk tea slightly in her hand, her eyes cold. “How about this: this time, I’ll personally make it clear to you.”

Splat—

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The chair Li Yu was sitting on was kicked over by Lin Ji, and then the three cups of sticky mango milk tea were all thrown at Li Yu’s head.

The smell of rotten mangoes and the stench of eggs immediately filled the air.

Li Yu was stunned by the impact and shouted, “Lin Ji! What are you doing? What stinky stuff did you throw at me!”

Lin Ji clapped her hands and frowned: “Your favorite mango. So as not to waste food, I specially chose rotten mangoes and stinky eggs for you. This drink is a perfect match for your stench.”

“I already had someone make it clear to you last time. Whether it’s a real issue or not, don’t show up in front of me, and don’t bother me. If you can’t do that, I’ll make sure you’re in the hospital every day.”

Lin Ji carelessly wiped her hands with a tissue. Seeing Li Yu struggling to get up, she kicked a chair, hitting Li Yu and stunning him again: “Now I’m adding one more thing: Don’t harass our Class President either, and don’t ruin her chances of being the top scorer in the college entrance exam. If our Class President doesn’t get the top spot, don’t even think about running your business here. Stay where you belong.”

The mixture of mango and eggs covered Li Yu’s body, making him sticky. When he tried to push off the floor, he slipped and fell again. Seeing that he was finally about to stand up, Lin Ji glanced at Ji Baixing, grabbed the test papers from the table, and pulled Ji Baixing out.

“Come with me.”

[Wuwuwu, the supporting female character is so dominant! I’m going! I’ll follow you!]
