I Have the Aura of a Supporting Character in Yuri Novels - Chapter 35.2
Caused her death: even though she didn’t kill Zhu Yun in this life, the plot’s Zhu Yun had ended up that way because of her.
Tang Weixue saw Zhu Yun’s eyes sparkling as she looked at her, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Thank you, sister, for avenging me!”
Tang Weixue wasn’t quite satisfied. She pointed a finger at her cheek. What she wanted was self-explanatory.
Zhu Yun looked around and saw security guards coming to disperse the crowd. With people everywhere, she wasn’t going to listen to Tang Weixue’s request.
She said shyly, “Not now. We’ll do it when we get home.”
Tang Weixue let out an arrogant huff. “Since you’re my girlfriend, I’ll listen to you.”
Zhu Yun’s face lit up, and she hugged Tang Weixue’s arm. As they walked, she didn’t forget to shower her with compliments. As for the drama that had just happened at the hospital, she no longer cared. Zhu Yun knew that Dou Huayue’s fate would definitely make her feel a great sense of satisfaction.
“By the way, did you also arrange for us to see that show at the hospital today?”
Tang Weixue laughed and said, “I don’t have that much power to control a big event like this. I can only say it was all a coincidence. It was probably the heavens that wanted you to see it.”
Zhu Yun quietly looked at the sky outside. The heavens? The Heavenly Dao? Hmm, then she wouldn’t hold a grudge against it today. She’d hold it tomorrow. After all, it had blocked her memories.
She quickly put the matter out of her mind. Nothing was more important than the person in front of her. Zhu Yun’s voice was as sweet as honey as she asked, “Was what you just said true, sister?”
Tang Weixue was stunned for a moment, then asked, “Which part?”
Zhu Yun immediately let go of her arm. What was her memory like? She forgot what she just said?
“You said it yourself, that I’m your girlfriend and you’ll listen to me.”
“How could that be false? You silly girl.” Sometimes, Tang Weixue was very curious about what kind of “wonderful ideas” were in Zhu Yun’s little head, making her feel so helpless.
Zhu Yun gave a mischievous smile and hugged her arm again, saying, “Will you listen to me for a lifetime?”
Tang Weixue finally understood Zhu Yun’s intention. She smiled at first, then couldn’t help but burst out laughing, leaning on Zhu Yun’s shoulder.
Zhu Yun frowned uncomfortably, but her hands were still wrapped around Tang Weixue’s waist, afraid she would fall. “Hey, aren’t you laughing a bit too arrogantly? I have my pride, you know.”
Tang Weixue took her hand, interlacing their fingers. Then she wrapped her arms around Zhu Yun, holding her close. She said warmly, “The words I said to you have a time limit.”
“Tang Weixue, I’m warning you not to go too far!”
“The limit is a lifetime.”
Zhu Yun’s fair cheeks turned a rosy pink, like a sweet peach, making one want to take a bite.
She said petulantly, “Hmph, you’re so cheesy.”
But she was so happy. A lifetime with her would surely be very happy.
After all, she was the person she loved most.
“Ms. Tang, there’s a dinner engagement tonight. Should I arrange a car for you in advance?”
The assistant was checking the schedule. She really wanted to focus on her work, but the smile on Tang Weixue’s face was too eye-catching. Even the assistant, who had worked with her for many years, couldn’t help but be amazed.
After replying to Zhu Yun’s message, Tang Weixue said, “Cancel tonight’s engagement. Little Zhu is having me go home for my birthday.” There was no point in attending. It was just a banquet for a long-lost illegitimate child to be recognized by the family. That old fox, Bai, had sent the invitation just for appearances. She had made Bai Xiangming lose so much money and sell off so many assets to pay her back, so who knew how that old fox was planning to stab her in the back. So there was no reason to go to an illegitimate son’s banquet.
The assistant had become accustomed to Tang Weixue’s henpecked behavior. She calmly crossed out the appointment and said, “Understood, Ms. Tang.” If she didn’t go, she didn’t go. The Bai family wasn’t what it used to be anyway. In another year, Ms. Tang should be able to take over the Bai family’s business. Going now was pointless.
In the past, on her birthday, she didn’t even get a day off; she still went to work and held meetings. The assistant didn’t dare to make decisions for Tang Weixue on her own, so she had still scheduled work for her on this day.
However, Tang Weixue’s reply didn’t surprise the assistant. It would have been strange if Tang Weixue hadn’t shown her affection.
Over the past year, the assistant had also heard some of the negative comments about them from the outside world, but she just dismissed them as nonsense. She knew very well how important Zhu Yun was to Tang Weixue. The two of them had a stable relationship, so what did a bunch of clowns matter? They were just nosy for no reason.
After the assistant finished her work, she left the office. Just before it was time to leave for the day, she opened the door again and placed her gift for Tang Weixue on the desk, saying, “Happy birthday, Ms. Tang.”
Tang Weixue nodded and smiled. “That’s very thoughtful of you. Thank you.”
“You’re welcome, Ms. Tang.” She nodded and said goodbye to Tang Weixue.
The exquisite gift box on the desk made Tang Weixue even more excited for the gift Zhu Yun would give her tonight. Of course, she hadn’t forgotten the red box that had been stuck at sixteen years old. It contained her mother’s love for Tang Weixue from those sixteen years. This long-delayed red box had finally returned to Tang Weixue’s side last winter.
She reached out and turned the calendar page. Once today was over, it would be a new month, and soon, a new year would arrive.
Tang Weixue was born in winter, and this year was another winter. But what was different from previous years was that she had found the person to spend her birthday with.
Tang Weixue smiled faintly. She couldn’t wait to go home.
As night fell on the city, the time around the New Year was always lively. Even though snow was falling from the sky, it didn’t dampen their excitement for the new year.
The festive atmosphere wasn’t as strong as it used to be, but who didn’t want to have a good year?
On her drive home, Tang Weixue would occasionally hear the sound of fireworks. She thought she could take Zhu Yun to a fireworks show in a few days. Her heart was filled with thoughts of Zhu Yun, and she was in a happy mood. But there were always those who spoiled the scenery. Her phone suddenly rang. Not many people knew her private number, and this was an unknown call. She didn’t need to guess who it was.
Tang Weixue blocked the number and sneered, “You just stay in your new home abroad with your lovely wife. Don’t bother my good life.”
Tang Weixue didn’t know whose child Zhao Mingzhu was pregnant with. In fact, she hoped it was someone else’s because that green hat would fit Father Tang very well.
Since Tang Weixue held dirt on Zhao Mingzhu and didn’t want to leave the Tang family, she listened to Tang Weixue. When she was told to go abroad, she went. Not only was she obedient, but she also helped Tang Weixue deal with the unwilling Father Tang. Now, the family of three lived a not-so-rich life abroad.
From frugality to extravagance is easy; from extravagance to frugality is difficult. Their lives had become a mess, but so what? It had nothing to do with Tang Weixue anyway.
“Little Zhu, I’m home.”
Zhu Yun had cooked a table of delicious food, but that wasn’t the main point. The main point was a bottle of liquor on the table. The pale blue ceramic bottle had a few characters written on it. Tang Weixue picked it up curiously to examine them, but she realized she didn’t recognize any of them. So she asked, “What is this? I don’t recognize these words.”
Zhu Yun’s eyes twinkled as she stared at her and said, “This bottle of wine is called ‘Nankö in a Dream.’ If you drink it, you can have a beautiful dream.”
“A beautiful dream?”
“Yes.”
A product of this system is guaranteed to be a high-quality masterpiece!
This was a bottle of wine that Zhu Yun had bought with her points. She felt it was the best birthday gift for Tang Weixue.
She looked at Tang Weixue expectantly and suggested, “Want a drink?”
Tang Weixue’s initial thought was to refuse, thinking they should eat first, but when she saw Zhu Yun’s gaze, she smiled and nodded.
Little Zhu, little Zhu, take her to the living room! The wine will make her sleepy~
Zhu Yun turned around, led the bewildered Tang Weixue to the sofa, and opened the bottle of wine. She poured it into a small cup. It wasn’t much, just a small sip was enough.
Tang Weixue didn’t suspect a thing. She blinked and drank it down.
The taste was surprisingly warm, giving the clear-minded Tang Weixue a sense of warmth throughout her body, as if not getting some sleep would make her regret it.
So, Zhu Yun caught her as she fell into her arms and let Tang Weixue rest her head on her lap. She was silently protecting Tang Weixue.
A soothing lullaby hummed from her lips, making Tang Weixue nuzzle against Zhu Yun’s stomach in peace.
In the dream, there was a white fog. Tang Weixue walked around, stopping from time to time. Suddenly, she saw a door, and a voice in her heart urged her to open it quickly.
Tang Weixue used all her strength to turn the doorknob. When she stepped into the room, she saw her mother, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time.
“Mom?”
The woman sitting in a wicker chair looked up from her book, looking left and right. There was no one around. She gave a faint smile and said, “It seems I’m having an illusion. I thought I heard Yuan Yuan’s voice.”
Tang Weixue was already crying uncontrollably. She bit her lip and slowly walked toward her mother. The dream was terrifyingly real. Was this a dream or reality?
After saying that, her mother patted her forehead, saying helplessly, “Look at my memory. Yuan Yuan’s birthday is coming up. I’ve already written the letter; I just need to put it inside. If I hadn’t remembered just now, I would have forgotten again.”
She might have realized her life was coming to an end. She was very calm about her declining memory. The only thing she couldn’t let go of was her daughter, Tang Weixue.
She coughed as she got up and opened a drawer. Inside was a letter. Past gifts were gems or other precious items, but this time, she planned to leave a letter.
And this letter, Tang Weixue had never opened. She was too afraid to look at it.
But now, she could see what was inside the letter without even opening it.
Tang Weixue watched her carefully place the letter in an envelope and said with a gentle smile, “I rarely say these things to Yuan Yuan; it’s a bit embarrassing. But it’s only this once. If I don’t write a little more, how will Yuan Yuan know that her mother loves her?”
She suddenly sighed, her eyes distant. “I wonder what Yuan Yuan will be like in the future.”
“What a shame, I won’t get to see her.”
“But… it’s okay. As long as someone loves her and is with her, I can rest assured.”
Tang Weixue was silently crying. She deeply regretted not being able to see her mother for the last time. It was her biggest regret, and this realistic dream was filling that void in her heart, making her tears unstoppable.
Her mother took out an exquisite little lock, and with a ‘click,’ she locked the red box. At the same time, Tang Weixue felt as if she was being blown away by a gust of wind. The scene in front of her shattered into countless fragments, slowly disappearing.
The effect of the wine was fading; it was time to wake up.
Zhu Yun wiped her tears and felt the strength of Tang Weixue’s arms around her gradually increase. Zhu Yun said warmly, “Did you have a good dream?”
“Yes, a very, very beautiful dream.”
Zhu Yun smiled softly. “That’s good.”
“Little Zhu.”
“What is it?”
“You’ll always be with me, right?”
“Yes, yes.”
I’ve even avoided the plot-driven death that was supposed to happen this year. Of course, I’ll be with you for a lifetime.
“Let’s eat! The food’s getting cold!”
Crying, and then laughing. Life is just like that.
