I Have the Aura of a Supporting Character in Yuri Novels - Chapter 20.2

Zhu Yun secretly tugged on Tang Yueqi’s sleeve and whispered, “The sweet potato I chose for you is the biggest and sweetest one. Do you like it, A-Yue?”

The small, thoughtful details were enough to prove Zhu Yun’s favoritism. Tang Yueqi was also moved by this special affection.

She thought of the sweet and soft taste just now. She covered Zhu Yun’s face with her hand and quickly pecked her lips. Those who didn’t know would think the two of them were whispering, and no one would have guessed that the reserved Tang Yueqi would actively show her affection for Zhu Yun at this time.

Zhu Yun’s eyes were sparkling, as if she had tasted the lingering sweetness on her lips. She saw the unnatural expression on Tang Yueqi’s face and knew that the thin-skinned Tang Yueqi was shy. With a mischievous streak, she couldn’t let go of this great opportunity to tease Tang Yueqi.

So she leaned close to Tang Yueqi’s ear and said, “A sister who kisses me on her own initiative is so cute. I like your proactiveness.”

Tang Yueqi gave Zhu Yun a sideways glance. “An occasional is a surprise, but if it happens too often, it won’t be fun anymore.”

She didn’t fall for it. She seemed calm in the face of Zhu Yun’s sweet talk, but in reality, her heart was already in a mess. If it weren’t for the need to maintain her “older sister” dignity, Tang Yueqi might have hidden from Zhu Yun, because every time Tang Yueqi took the initiative, she would get an enthusiastic response from Zhu Yun, which was too hard to resist. She didn’t even dare to think about it.

Zhu Yun’s eyes widened in surprise, not expecting Tang Yueqi to turn the tables on her.

Tang Yueqi hooked her chin and smiled without a word.

“Hmph, you annoying person!”

“That’s because Xiao Zhu taught me well.”

“Give me back my innocent A-Yue!” Zhu Yun said with a laugh, wrapping her arm around her neck and leaning her upper body into her arms.

Lü Tinglan sat at the dining table, watching with a raised eyebrow. She asked knowingly, “What are you two doing?”

Tang Yueqi indulged Zhu Yun’s mischief, and said lovingly, “Just a kid.”

“Pff.” Lü Tinglan couldn’t help but laugh.

Duan Fei stood by the window and said to Sun Qiuyang, “The snow seems to be stopping. It’s about to end.”

Sun Qiuyang agreed, “Yes, it’s about to end.”

Not just the first snow, but also this variety show journey was about to come to an end.

“How will the director arrange for tomorrow?”

Sun Qiuyang narrowed his eyes. The narrow corners of his eyes looked like a cunning fox. He said leisurely, “Merchants, since ancient times, have never woken up early without a profit.”

Would the director let go of any chance for traffic? Of course not.

Before, netizens protested and refused to let Zhou Shihao participate in the final live broadcast, but the director played the emotional card, saying that it was a show with eight guests and he didn’t want to miss any of them. So, after being scolded by netizens, the director happily came to the apartment. He knew that tomorrow would be another day he didn’t have to spend on marketing.

“Then what will the segment be tomorrow?”

Sun Qiuyang shook his head. The director had been mysterious and hadn’t told them. Based on Sun Qiuyang’s understanding of him, tomorrow would definitely not be lacking in segments that netizens loved to watch.

For some reason, he was a little looking forward to tomorrow.

It would definitely be very exciting.

The final live broadcast began on time as expected.

This time, the show actually had an outdoor scene. They came to a cruise ship. It was said that a rich young lady who liked to watch variety shows had lent it to the show for free. So, the director waved his hand and told the makeup artists to dress up each guest beautifully and handsomely, making sure they looked stunning.

When the camera showed the lively party scene, netizens were amazed. Everyone at the party was wearing a mask and dressed in formal attire. The elegant piano music made netizens feel that this was not a live broadcast at all. It was too dreamy. They couldn’t imagine that the last episode would bring such a surprise. The show’s secrecy was too strong; not a single piece of news was leaked.

[There are so many people, who is who! Did I enter the wrong live stream?]

[Where are my A-Yue and Xiao Zhu!]

[Wuwu, the food inside looks so delicious. Thank you to the sponsor for the cruise ship!]

[Wow, it’s so beautiful! This scene is even grander than those in idol dramas. I really don’t know where the directors of those idol dramas spend their money, they can’t even compare to a live variety show!]

[The director is a jerk. He’s still protecting Zhou Shihao, but I can’t not watch the show because of him. Ahhh, I’m so mad!]

[By the way, when is Zhou Shihao going to get off this show?]

[Everyone, look! It seems like someone is coming in.]

In the center of the doorway, a tall woman in a watery green dress slowly appeared. The somewhat traditional evening gown added a touch of elegance and laziness. The flowing material moved with the woman like shimmering water. It was incredibly beautiful. Tea flowers were embroidered on the collar and hem, blooming in large, lifelike patches.

She was wearing a party mask. Everyone’s mask at the party was the same, so it was a bit difficult to find the one Tang Yueqi wanted to hold hands with and invite to dance in the sea of people.

Tang Yueqi couldn’t help but sigh. She knew the director wouldn’t be so kind as to host this party. They were still making them work hard in the last episode. Ugh, what a headache.

Tang Yueqi blended into the crowd, politely declining other people’s invitations and single-mindedly searching for the person in her heart.

She didn’t know that someone was staring at her intently. This person was Zhou Shihao, who was drinking alone. He sat in a corner, observing Tang Yueqi while looking down at the hired trolls trying to stir things up in the live chat. He didn’t have the ability to deal with the undeletable post, but he could afford to hire some trolls.

[This couple that’s been hyped up is disgusting to watch. It’s all fake and for traffic!]

[One is a dancer with a broken leg, the other is a teacher. They’re not doing their jobs and are participating in a show. They must be trying to get into the entertainment industry! When they get into the industry, who will remember the “Zhu Yue” couple? They’ll probably rush to hype things up with male actors. Everyone knows that male-female couples are the hot ones. You’ve all been deceived by them!]

[If they’re really in love, I’ll wash my hair while standing on my head!]

[Where did this fool come from? Shut up.]

[Why do I feel like there are more monsters in the last episode?]

[But those comments have a point. Aren’t there many celebrities in the entertainment industry who break up their own couples?]

Zhou Shihao knew that he couldn’t enter the entertainment industry anymore. This path was blocked for him, and he had been sentenced to exile abroad by his father. After learning that the director had agreed to his request, Zhou Shihao decided to drag these two women down to hell with him.

Didn’t these two women have a lot of couple fans? If they failed the task the director had arranged today, how could their relationship be real?

“The show is about to end, it’s time to reveal your true colors.”

Zhou Shihao sneered. He wasn’t happy, so no one else should have a perfect ending either!

He picked up a glass of champagne and quietly followed Tang Yueqi.

The party was crowded and the lighting wasn’t very bright. Tang Yueqi wasn’t sure what Zhu Yun was wearing, because they had to get their makeup done separately. She heard that they would also enter the party at different times. So, thinking of the director’s task, Tang Yueqi focused on finding the person.

Suddenly, a man’s voice made Tang Yueqi turn around. She saw a couple not far away. Sun Qiuyang took off his mask and said, “Feifei, I’ve found you.”

The woman opposite him was wearing a black evening gown, looking noble and elegant. But the moment she took off her mask, the elegant and gentle Sun Qiuyang’s expression changed.

The woman was an extra hired by the show. She smiled and said, “Sorry, you’ve got the wrong person.”

This thrilling and shocking scene drove the viewers in the live stream crazy.

[Ahhh, how could this happen! My heart hurts so much! The couple I’m shipping isn’t sweet anymore!]

[It’s understandable. There are so many people. It’s normal not to find the right person, and they haven’t been together for too long. Don’t be sad~]

[It’s over, it’s over. My “Zhu Yue” couple must hold on! Success or failure depends on this one!]

[This jerk director. It’s bad enough he’s tormenting me, now he’s tormenting my couple! Feifei must be so sad.]

Zhou Shihao smiled excitedly. This was great. With Sun Qiuyang as an example, as long as Tang Yueqi and the others failed, it would be fun to watch!

The director, who was monitoring from backstage, trembled. “Xiao Zhang, where are those extras you arranged to help them?”

Xiao Zhang also looked confused. He was also wondering. Had the extras forgotten their role as helpers?

Of course, the extras hadn’t forgotten, but Zhou Shihao had already paid them off. “Money power” was effective at times like this.

The moment Sun Qiuyang realized he had found the wrong person, his heart sank. He not only thought of those comments but also of Duan Fei.

Would she be disappointed in him?

She must be.

“I found you.” Sun Qiuyang’s hand was taken. He looked in surprise at Duan Fei, who had walked over from behind him at some point, and for the first time, he hugged her openly.

Sun Qiuyang said softly, “I’m sorry.”

Duan Fei hugged him back and said with a light laugh, “It’s okay. Didn’t I find you?”

Not every choice is final, sometimes there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Tang Yueqi retracted her gaze. Other people’s love was not important, because she always remembered the person in her heart.

She was looking, and so was Zhu Yun.

The dim light made it hard to see clearly. You could only distinguish someone when you got close.

People were coming and going, stopping and moving.

As the two of them brushed past each other, Tang Yueqi grabbed the person’s arm and said softly, “Still trying to run?”

“My beautiful lady, you’ve got the wrong person.”

Tang Yueqi raised an eyebrow, took off her mask, and then leaned in closer to the playful woman she had caught. Her eyes were deep, and she said with a light laugh, “Are you sure I’m wrong?”

“Yes, ma’am.”

She snorted, untied the strings of her mask, and revealed her delicate face. Their eyes met. Tang Yueqi lifted her chin and said mischievously, “It seems my feeling was right. I’ve caught you, little chef.”

Zhu Yun also didn’t back down. She shook their clasped hands and teased, “What a coincidence, I’ve caught you too.”

The two of them laughed at the same time and then hugged each other with a silent understanding.

This was their first time embracing each other so tightly in front of a crowd. Everything was so heartwarming.

“How is this possible? Sun Qiuyang failed! How could they succeed? It must be fake! It must be a set-up! It’s all arranged by the show staff.”

In Zhou Shihao’s heart, he always believed that this couple was a publicity stunt. Perhaps his pride had deceived him, making him stubbornly refuse to believe.

He thought that this couple was fake, and that they wouldn’t be able to find each other without the help of the show’s extras. He never expected this result, which was so hard for him to accept.

[Wuwuwu, Mom! The couple I’m shipping is real!]

[I declare that I am also a woman who has shipped the sweetest couple!]

[Sun Qiuyang and Duan Fei are also very sweet, but the “Zhu Yue” couple is even sweeter ahhh!]

[At this moment, I don’t have that annoying Zhou Shihao in my mind, nor the director with his constant weird moves, only my “Zhu Yue” couple!]

[They can get married now. I’m willing to be their marriage certificate!]

[Then I’ll take a step back and be their matrimonial bed!]

[Where is that fool who said he would wash his hair while standing on his head? When are you going to live stream it?]

[That coward was reported by me and sent to the little dark room for “learning”.]

The director saw this scene and couldn’t help but get teary-eyed. “Good, good thing this couple didn’t fail. Otherwise, what kind of dating show would this be!”

“Xiao Zhang, remember to note it down. If they get married in the future, I will definitely give them a big red packet!”

The director wanted to worship them and light incense for them, thanking them for carrying the show and making it popular. Even Zhou Shihao, whom he disliked, looked a little more pleasing now.

“Xiao Zhang, doesn’t Zhou Shihao look like a stupid and funny third wheel?”

The assistant held back his laughter. The director snorted, “I didn’t keep him just for the sake of grabbing attention. The most important thing is that I wanted him to see with his own eyes Tang Yueqi being taken away by another woman. I kept him here specifically to piss him off.”

The old director was also a petty person. The assistant silently prayed for Zhou Shihao, hoping he would live a long life and not be angered to death by the director.

At this time, the band changed the music. It was no longer a gentle piano piece, but a lively dance song.

Tang Yueqi held Zhu Yun’s hand. Their figures, one tall and one short, slowly drew closer. Tang Yueqi whispered in her ear, like lovers, “Do you know how to dance?”

“Sister, teach me. I’m a smart student.”

“You’re such a good girl.”

Zhu Yun’s dance steps were clumsy, but it didn’t matter. Tang Yueqi would dance with her.

“How did you find me?” Zhu Yun asked.

Tang Yueqi’s eyes were deep, and she said with a light smile, “Once you’ve decided on a person, how could you not find them?”

Zhu Yun blushed and pouted, “Such a smooth talker.”

But she actually liked it, so she would forgive her for now.

This segment could only be described as exciting. The netizens’ moods were like a roller coaster, but this arrangement also made them unforgettable for a lifetime. No matter how many variety shows accompanied them in the future, they would always remember this live broadcast tonight.

“Hello everyone, I am the director of this show. I am very grateful to every guest, thank you for being willing to participate in this show that even I had no confidence in making popular. The success it has today is inseparable from the efforts and dedication of every one of us.”

“The live broadcast has also come to its final episode. Everyone must have a lot of feelings. Compared to the first episode, when we were strangers, we are all friends now.”

“I wish you all happiness and success in your future endeavors!”

“That’s enough of the rambling. Please make your final choice.”

“Please choose your favorite guest.”

Tang Yueqi took out her phone. This was the first time she had shown her phone on the show. Her beautiful face was like a painting. She thought of the person in her heart, and her lips curled into a smile.

A short message filled with love was sent to that person. With a “ding-dong,” Zhu Yun received the message.

The director, who loved to watch the drama, deliberately teased, “Yueqi, I wonder if you sent the message to a male guest or a female guest?”

Tang Yueqi couldn’t help but laugh softly. Her eyes were gentle, and she said to Zhu Yun, “No one said I couldn’t send a message to a female guest, right? So, please go on a date with me.”

Zhu Yun was her most steadfast choice.

Just as passionate as when she chose to dance all those years ago.

She wouldn’t regret it.

“Teacher Tang, when are you planning to get off work today?”

The woman’s sweet voice immediately reminded Tang Yueqi of how she had breathed in her ear last night, so charming and beautiful. Tang Yueqi pressed her temples and said dotingly, “I want to drink the pork rib and corn soup that Xiao Zhu makes.”

Zhu Yun had also just gotten off work not long ago. Thinking that it was a special day, Zhu Yun felt she could treat her.

“What else? Teacher Tang, just tell me what you want to eat, don’t be shy.”

Ever since Tang Yueqi became a teacher at the dance academy, Zhu Yun loved to use this title to tease her. But Tang Yueqi still preferred her to call her “Jiejie” which was enough to make her weak at the knees.

Tang Yueqi closed the door of the dance studio and returned to her office, saying in a low voice, “Then how about I eat you?”

“Hey, hey, hey, wasn’t yesterday enough? You need to learn to be moderate to live a long and healthy life!” Zhu Yun’s thighs were still a bit sore. Sometimes she really wondered if Tang Yueqi was a dog.

Tang Yueqi’s laughter was gentle. “Xiao Zhu, I’ll cook tonight.”

“Why?”

Tang Yueqi leaned against the wall and looked at the sky outside the window. “Today is our one-year anniversary. I want to cook a delicious meal for you. You’ve cooked so much, so let me take care of you this time.”

Love was a matter for two people. The daily chores of life were also for two people to share. Mutual care and affection, that was what love was.

Zhu Yun praised her with satisfaction, “As expected of my perfect girlfriend! Then you have to come back quickly. I miss you.”

“Okay.”

Unconsciously, a year had passed. A lot had happened during this time. Sun Qiuyang and Duan Fei had a peaceful breakup. Luo Yi and Lü Tinglan, on the other hand, unexpectedly got together. And the most surprising thing was that Lin Kai Chang had starred in a TV show and became an instant hit for his role as the male supporting character.

Life was just like that, full of surprises and joys everywhere.

After a year, Tang Yueqi and Zhu Yun, who had faded from the public eye, also started living their own lives. Their couple fans accepted their decision. Returning to reality and living their own lives was more important than anything else. They wouldn’t forget the story that the variety show had brought.

“857, can this thing of yours really cure A-Yue’s old injury?”

[Zhu Yun, you can’t insult me!! Hmph, if you don’t believe me, give it back to me.]

Zhu Yun rolled her eyes. “Give it back to you? Will you give me a new big gift bag then?”

[Hehe.]

The system had lost that bet, and it could only reluctantly open a back door for Zhu Yun. Zhu Yun had almost forgotten about this matter. Without the plot kill, she didn’t have to be on edge all the time, so every day with her girlfriend was fulfilling. Until one night, she suddenly sat up in the middle of the night, not for any other reason, but because she remembered that bet.

With system 857 turning a blind eye, Zhu Yun got a novice gift bag that was a year late. It contained a magical healing medicine from the system store, said to be a good thing from a cultivation world, made by a certain Fairy Yunyao.

Zhu Yun didn’t care about the Yunyao part, she only cared about this medicine.

857 had said that Zhu Yun could choose other good things, but she only wanted this bottle. Thanks to 857’s leaky mouth, Zhu Yun found out there was such a good thing in the store.

She cupped her face and smiled. “Now A-Yue won’t have a sore leg anymore. I’m a genius!”

At this moment, the door to the room was opened, and Tang Yueqi brought in a bouquet of flowers. Zhu Yun saw this and asked with a smile, “Why did you suddenly think of buying flowers?”

She first gave Zhu Yun a thoughtful hug, then said, “Didn’t you want red roses yesterday?”

Zhu Yun was stunned. She had forgotten about it. It was just a small thing she had mentioned casually, but she didn’t expect Tang Yueqi to remember it.

She couldn’t help but throw herself into Tang Yueqi’s arms, her eyes curved into a smile.

“857, do you understand now why I chose that medicine?”

Because Tang Yueqi was very important.

“Jiejie, I love you so, so much!”

“Why is your mouth so sweet today? Let me taste if you’ve been secretly eating lemon candy again?”

The two women hugged and kissed. 857 quickly blocked the blush-inducing scene.

[I was going to tell Xiao Zhu about Zhou Shihao’s current situation, but forget it, he’s a stranger, who cares about him.]

Anyway, he was living off a rich woman abroad. Let him eat, let him eat until he dies.

[Oh my, this is such a perfect world~]

[I will definitely give Xiao Zhu full marks!]
