I Have the Aura of a Supporting Character in Yuri Novels - Chapter 10

The second livestream was about to end, with the comment section almost completely covering the screen. It’s difficult to maintain a consistent number of comments during a several-hour-long broadcast, and the highest volume of comments usually appears right before the show ends. After all, viewers who watched the first season knew that the director would drop a bombshell at this point. So, when they saw the content of the card in Tang Yueqi’s hand, the comments section went completely insane.

Even the director was sneakily peeking at his phone, wearing his reading glasses and enjoying the flood of comments that brought him a sense of honor. He had a feeling that this variety show was just one step away from becoming a huge hit!

[Oh my God, oh my God! The little chef? What kind of role play is “little chef”? What happened between these two behind the scenes?!

[Sister, you obviously haven’t joined the ZhuYue super topic. A few days ago, Xiao Zhu and A-Yue were caught by our people at a hot pot restaurant!

[Hot pot restaurant? ZhuYue super topic? I watched both livestreams, but I feel like I’ve missed so much of the story!

[No, sisters, you’re all overlooking a big deal! How did Xiao Zhu know A-Yue doesn’t eat cilantro?! P.S. I also hate cilantro so much qwq.

[We’re a CP fan base, so we have to learn to find our own sweet moments. Other CP fans can find love in broken glass, but we have tons of food. Why don’t you guys know how to ship them? The cilantro thing proves what? It proves that Xiao Zhu must have put cilantro in her cooking at some point. That’s why she got the nickname “little chef”! It’s solved. The two of them definitely interact more behind the scenes than we can imagine!

The subjects of their discussion were no longer in the livestream, but their enthusiasm was enough to set everyone on fire. The card content written by Zhu Yun was just so shippable!

The director, who was secretly watching, blushed, hurriedly turned off his phone, and mumbled, “These young people have such vivid imaginations!”

He patted his head, quickly filtered out some of the indescribable comments he had just seen, and left the office, whistling a tune, hiding his good deeds.

As the director walked, he heard the voices of Zhu Yun and Tang Yueqi talking, and he was delighted, thinking that he must give them more screen time during the livestream the day after tomorrow. To be honest, whether you become famous or not really depends on luck. Just look at Zhou Shihao, who came in with investments, tsk-tsk, whether he can turn things around depends on his own abilities.

“Tang Yueqi, what are you doing!”

Zhu Yun, who had just finished the livestream, chased after Tang Yueqi, and her fist couldn’t help but land on her arm. Tang Yueqi didn’t get angry from the hit; she just held back her laughter, not wanting Zhu Yun to notice.

The two of them soon stuck together again. Zhou Shihao stood far away, watching forlornly. If circumstances allowed, he really wanted to smoke a cigarette. Where did things go wrong? All he wanted was to get close to a woman. Why was it more difficult than closing a big business deal?

He often tried to find opportunities to get close to Tang Yueqi, both during the livestream and in their daily lives. But this amazing woman was like a heartless, hard rock. It seemed like every time, she didn’t understand or see Zhou Shihao’s intentions, which made him feel incredibly frustrated. This was the first time he had met such an unromantic woman. In the past, women were the ones who flattered and fawned over him, scrambling to become his confidante. This time, he finally became interested in a woman, but she happened to be a tough nut to crack.

He leaned against the wall gloomily; his eyebrows furrowed with a dark look.

He was forced to participate in this variety show due to his background. It was because Zhou Shihao was chosen as the heir by the old man of the family, and Zhou Shiwei had set him up. By some strange twist of fate, he ended up on this dating show. Zhou Shihao was furious at home and was determined to make Zhou Shiwei regret it!

Zhou Shihao muttered a curse word under his breath; his tightly furrowed brows could have killed a mosquito.

The first time Tang Yueqi appeared in front of him, Zhou Shihao fell in love with her at first sight. Although he didn’t have as much power as Zhou Shiwei, he was still the favored youngest son and an investor. So, Zhou Shihao had the idea of a scripted hype. He thought maybe as the show went on, Tang Yueqi would fall for him. But the director called the wrong person and brought Zhu Yun over, which made Zhou Shihao extremely dissatisfied. That’s why he blamed the director after Tang Yueqi refused the scripted hype.

“Shihao, do you want to go out for a drink tonight?” Lu Tinglan couldn’t help but feel her heart flutter. Zhou Shihao’s body and looks were so much her type. But she didn’t like his attitude, so the feeling of being smitten only left a desire for his appearance.

“Sorry, I have something to do. I have to leave the apartment tomorrow.”

Zhou Shihao looked at Tang Yueqi, who had gone upstairs, with a complex gaze. The woman’s graceful figure deepened the desire in his eyes.

He blamed himself for not controlling his temper during the first livestream, which caused his popularity to drop a lot. Later, after the director gave him a heads-up, he realized where he went wrong. It’s not too late to fix his image. The most important thing is that he must have some connection with the most popular Tang Yueqi! She really is the woman he had his eyes on; she’s truly unique.

He completely ignored Zhu Yun, who was just as popular as Tang Yueqi. In Zhou Shihao’s mind, Zhu Yun and Zhou Shiwei were the people he despised the most in his life.

Zhu Yun, who was disliked by Zhou Shihao, was currently pouting and giving Tang Yueqi the silent treatment. She stomped into her room and was about to close the door when Tang Yueqi squeezed in.

Zhu Yun pressed against the door, refusing to let her step into her room. The two of them were at a stalemate at the door for a long time when they heard Tang Yueqi “ooh” in pain. She frowned slightly and withdrew her hand. Her lively eyes were full of grievance, and at that moment, Zhu Yun felt she was being ridiculous for being angry with her.

Zhu Yun quickly said, “Are you okay?”

“Please don’t be mad at me.” She grabbed Zhu Yun’s sleeve, lowering her head, looking remorseful. Zhu Yun noticed her finger was unusually red. It must have hurt a lot when it got caught in the door.

She held Tang Yueqi’s fingertips, which were soft and gentle, and led her inside without looking back, saying, “I’m not mad.”

Tang Yueqi’s face slowly blossomed into a smile, and she asked cautiously, “Really?”

Zhu Yun had never heard her speak in such a tone before. She couldn’t help but turn her head to look at her, and she noticed the hope in Tang Yueqi’s eyes. It was fragmented, like a little kid afraid of not getting candy.

Zhu Yun couldn’t help but chuckle. Thinking of the thing in her pocket, she puffed out her cheeks and said awkwardly, “Here, this is for you.”

A few candies suddenly appeared in Tang Yueqi’s palm. They were different from the candies Tang Yueqi usually ate. She was a little confused and could only look at the candies and then at Zhu Yun.

This made Zhu Yun laugh and scold, “I gave you candy. Now you can prove I’m not mad, you glutton!”

It seemed like she was trying to get Tang Yueqi’s praise and admiration, and she said proudly, “This is the first time I’ve ever DIY-ed candy. I looked up the tutorial online, and it went pretty smoothly. I’m a genius! I always see you eating lemon-flavored ones, so I only made this kind. See if you like it. If you do, I’ll make more for you another day.”

As she spoke, she shared her DIY steps with Tang Yueqi, and she had clearly forgotten that she was angry before.

Suddenly, her wrist felt a little sore. It turned out Tang Yueqi had pulled her firmly into her arms. The woman’s soft embrace completely enveloped the chattering Zhu Yun, which shocked Zhu Yun.

“What… what are you doing!”

“Just giving you a hug.”

Zhu Yun’s words were stumbling, unlike Tang Yueqi’s calmness. But she was a person who cared about her pride, so she said cockily, “Hmph, you weren’t touched by me, were you? You seem pretty smart, but you’re so easily fooled by a piece of candy.”

“I’m not smart at all, just pretty. Most people who are attracted to me are only for my looks. When they want to be my friend, they eventually think my personality doesn’t match my face. Only you don’t think I’m stupid. The first time we met, you were willing to just space out with me. When you left, you came back. I knew you were different. If a piece of candy could really fool me, I would rather you be the one holding that candy.”

A woman’s gentle voice was in her ear, and she was being held in her arms. Anyone who could remain calm at this moment was not human. So Zhu Yun considered herself to be a normal person, which meant that being flustered and speechless with a red face must be a normal reaction! It was absolutely not because she was useless!

“I wouldn’t trick you. Don’t think of me as a bad guy.”

Tang Yueqi smiled, her breath tickling Zhu Yun’s ear, and she whispered, “Who was the one who wrote on the card that they would punish me with stir-fried cilantro?”

“Don’t even get me started! Why did you show the card to everyone?! It’s so embarrassing!” Zhu Yun really wanted to stab herself. At that time, she must have been enchanted by beauty… to have the audacity to say “A-Yue’s little chef, Xiao Zhu.” Oh my god, the more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she felt. She could have built a huge mansion with all the embarrassment!

When Zhu Yun talked about the card, she had so much to complain about. She slumped into Tang Yueqi’s arms, muttering, “It’s all because of the meal I made yesterday!” Otherwise, she wouldn’t have written that card to make her happy.

The cilantro incident happened during last night’s dinner. Zhu Yun made a soup that could be garnished with cilantro to enhance the flavor. Who knew that as soon as Tang Yueqi smelled the cilantro, she would cover her nose and mouth in discomfort? She was a person who severely disliked cilantro, to the point where she felt like throwing up just from the smell.

This incident caused Tang Yueqi to go back to her room to rest for a while, and she didn’t even have the appetite for dinner. So, Zhu Yun felt guilty and wanted to be a little clingy with Tang Yueqi, which is why she wrote “jiejie” so many times on the card.

When Tang Yueqi heard her words, she offered an apologetic smile. She stroked Zhu Yun’s hair and said slowly, “I’m sorry, I didn’t consider your feelings. I… I just wanted everyone to know that you are the best one to me. I didn’t expect it to cause you any trouble. Xiao Zhu, I’m so sorry.”

Zhu Yun had already gotten over her anger. She curled her lips and snorted, “I didn’t realize the reserved A-Yue jiejie was also a show-off. Since your apology seems sincere, I’ll reluctantly forgive you.”

Tang Yueqi sighed in relief and said happily, “Thank you.”

The next second, her face was held by Zhu Yun. Zhu Yun felt a little heartache and said, “Why do you seem like a little poor thing? You get so happy when I’m just a little nice to you. Then I’ll have to be even better to you in the future!”

Tang Yueqi, who was suddenly labeled as “lacking love,” had a ripple of emotion in her eyes. She didn’t correct Zhu Yun but said softly, “I will be good to Xiao Zhu too.”

“If you’re not good to me, you can expect a cilantro feast!”

“System, system! Now I’m the woman who holds the key to the female lead’s weaknesses!!”

[…Uh, I think you’ve already leaked this trump card. Is it still a trump card?]

“…”

At this moment, Zhu Yun pinched her cheek and asked fiercely, “Will you eat other people’s cilantro feasts in the future?”

Tang Yueqi raised an eyebrow, “Only yours.”

So Zhu Yun’s tail started wagging again, and she said proudly, “No. 857, no one can steal this trump card from me!”

I am Tang Yueqi’s exclusive little chef!
