I Have the Aura of a Supporting Character in Yuri Novels - Chapter 19

Today’s livestream drew massive attention—even before it started, hundreds of thousands of viewers were already waiting in the room. Everyone was curious: how thick-skinned could Zhou Shihao be? After being forgiven by the person he wronged, he still dared to stay on the show. What was this? Riding the wave of infamy? Is that why he’s clinging on?

The livestream began on time, and the comment section exploded with activity. The camera first focused on Tang Yueqi, who was sitting at the bar sipping tea. She waved and greeted the audience.

Across from her sat Lü Tinglan, a regular at the bar. She gave a bright smile to the camera before continuing her conversation with Tang Yueqi.

Lü Tinglan pouted and asked, “You still haven’t told me why you’ve started wearing glasses lately. I remember you used to wear contacts.”

Tang Yueqi relaxed her brows—her smile was gentle and graceful. She had a slow-to-warm personality, which made her seem distant at first. Even when she smiled, there was a layer of detachment, as her eyes never truly lit up. Her gaze was colder than winter snow. But that version of Tang Yueqi only appeared around strangers. Now, she was no longer cold or indifferent.

She rested her chin on her hand, looking lazy. “Xiao Zhu likes it.”

That simple and direct answer made Lü Tinglan choke and cough. Her eyes welled up as she stared at Tang Yueqi. “Even your glasses are because of Xiao Zhu? You two are… I give up. I’m completely floored!”

Tang Yueqi saw her dramatic reaction and said, “Wipe your mouth.”

Lü Tinglan grabbed a tissue with a teasing look, embarrassed, and muttered, “Next time I’m not coming to the bar with you.”

She left and sat on the living room sofa. Luo Yi, who was browsing the internet on his laptop, noticed her arrival. Seeing the damp spot on her chest, he quickly looked down and draped his jacket over her. “Go change your clothes.”

Lü Tinglan’s eyes sparkled, her flirtatious smile turning playful. She glanced at Luo Yi and hummed, “Thanks.”

After she left, Luo Yi could still smell her perfume lingering. He rubbed his nose and tried to focus back on his research.

Just then, a tall man walked out of one room, and from another door emerged Zhu Yun, dressed in a long white sweater. Her fair skin and sweet demeanor made her look like a sugar-dusted peach—soft, juicy, and irresistible.

She noticed Zhou Shihao and smiled.

Zhou Shihao’s face twitched, but he had learned to behave. His temper had mellowed, and he even managed a rare smile. In the past, he’d always looked at Zhu Yun like she was his enemy.

He said, “What do you feel like eating today? I’ll cook.”

Zhu Yun clasped her hands behind her back and smiled sweetly. “I’m picky, but anything you make is fine.”

“…” Saying she’s picky but also saying anything is fine—clearly trying to make things difficult!

Zhou Shihao swallowed his frustration and forced a smile. “I’ve noticed you all like tomato beef brisket. I’ll make that. If it doesn’t suit your taste, let me know—I’ll improve.”

Zhu Yun wasn’t buying it. She cautiously asked, “Can I really give suggestions? You won’t get mad, right? You were so fierce with Yueqi the other day, I didn’t dare come near you.”

Zhou Shihao’s eyelid twitched. He took a deep breath. “I’ve apologized to Yueqi for that incident. It was truly an accident. I didn’t expect that one step would cause her harm. I feel deeply guilty. Thankfully, Yueqi forgave me. Honestly, if I worsened her old injury, I’d be willing to serve her forever. I made a mistake, after all.”

His sincere remorse and handsome face now tinged with sadness made viewers believe he truly regretted his actions. And he had a point—the video only showed him making the move, not whether it was intentional.

[Comment section:]

• “I told you Zhou Shihao did nothing wrong! Some fans need to open their eyes and stop falsely accusing good people!”
• “Good person? Are you blind? He’s disgusting! Probably trying to ruin the couple’s relationship! Everyone knows he likes Yueqi!”
• “Exactly! He stood behind Yueqi for ages. Why sneak around like that? Clearly up to no good!”
• “Homewrecker! Gross!”

The comment section erupted. Zhou Shihao’s plan wasn’t going as smoothly as he’d hoped. His phone buzzed in his pocket, and a dark look flashed in his eyes.

Zhu Yun laughed at his excuses. “Accident? That poor word gets blamed for everything. You should’ve called it a coincidence. You just happened to see Yueqi, happened to stand behind her, happened to call her name, and happened to stick out your leg. Wow, what a coincidence.”

Her gaze turned cold. “Yueqi forgave you because she’s kind. But don’t think she’ll let you serve her like a slave.”

Apologizing doesn’t give you moral leverage. What a thick face!

Zhu Yun walked away coldly. Zhou Shihao lowered his head, cursing her in his mind.

If he were heir to a family business, he wouldn’t be lowering himself to join a romance variety show—especially one that doesn’t attract fans. If he were an heir, he wouldn’t have met Tang Yueqi and Zhu Yun, and wouldn’t have to grovel now.

Jealousy surged in his heart like wild weeds. He clenched his fists and headed to the kitchen.

He had to stay calm.

His presence made the lively living room awkward.

No one knew how to treat Zhou Shihao. Regardless of whether it was an accident, Zhu Yun’s words were clear. Compared to his explanation, they trusted her more.

“I’ll cook.”

“I’ll… help you.”

Luo Yi got a glare from Lü Tinglan. Scratching his head, he was saved by Duan Fei, who patted Lü Tinglan. Sun Qiuyang exchanged a glance with Duan Fei and said, “I’ll help. Luo Yi, you still have research and papers to write, right?”

“Oh, right.” Luo Yi had no idea he was being used by Zhou Shihao, thinking they were just good buddies.

But Sun Qiuyang was quickly sent out of the kitchen by Zhou Shihao. Later, Zhou Shihao went to the bathroom—no cameras there. He turned off the livestream equipment, pulled out his phone, and checked a message from a major fan group. Instantly, he punched the wall and growled, “Homewrecker? Damn it, I’m innocent!”

He admitted he tried to hug the beauty that day, but it didn’t work—so how was he a homewrecker?

“I can’t just sit and wait.”

Meanwhile, Tang Yueqi was peeling oranges for Zhu Yun. “This year’s sugar tangerines are super sweet. Try one.”

She fed Zhu Yun a slice. When her fingertip was briefly sucked then released, Tang Yueqi blushed.

She glanced around—no one noticed—so she quickly lowered her head, flustered.

Her heart raced. Zhu Yun’s casual gesture reminded her of their intimate moments at night. Zhu Yun never let go of even her fingertips, claiming they were sweet…

“Feeling unwell? You look pale.” Zhu Yun reached out with a warm hand. Tang Yueqi glared at her. Zhu Yun blinked innocently. “I’m being good, right? Didn’t upset you, did I?”

That look—something was up! Was it because she ate the whole orange and didn’t share?

Zhu Yun added, “I’ll peel one for you! Let’s not fight.”

Tang Yueqi couldn’t resist her. Their playful bickering was filled with affection, like pink bubbles floating around them.

Tang Yueqi ate the orange slices Zhu Yun fed her. Zhu Yun’s eyes were expressive—glancing at the fruit, then at Tang Yueqi’s lips. Her gaze said it all: compared to oranges, lips are sweeter.

Tang Yueqi’s ears turned red. She stuffed Zhu Yun’s mouth with orange slices. “If it’s good, eat more!”

Zhu Yun collapsed on her shoulder, laughing. Because of the livestream, she couldn’t tease Tang Yueqi with words, only with her eyes. Clearly, Tang Yueqi understood.

Tang Yueqi tried to act serious, but was flustered. It felt like they were sneaking around—doing naughty things in public.

[Message:]

“Xiao Zhu, I’ve completed the task you gave me!”

Zhu Yun raised her brows, her sweet smile deepening. She leaned on Tang Yueqi’s shoulder and whispered, “It’s finally over.”

Zhu Yun never forgot what Zhou Shihao did to her. He used dirty tricks to make her his pawn. As long as he treated her coldly, it would win over CP fans. He played both sides, while Zhu Yun was seen as a clingy woman. Her real-life info was exposed, forcing her off the show and into psychological trauma.

Everything she did now was to return that pain.

That night, a shocking gossip post appeared:

“Expose: Male homewrecker in a variety show trying to ruin a beauty’s relationship! Pretending to be a rich heir, but actually the son of a mistress! Must-see drama!”

Zhu Yun read the headline and said nothing.
