The Romance Extras Turned Out to Be a Yuri Story - Chapter 16
How could this be? For the first time in over ten years, Lin Luoluo was confronting her own sexual orientation, and she felt restless.
“Let’s eat first,” her mother called out.
The whole family had waited for her to return before starting the meal.
Lin Luoluo took her seat, forced to put on a smile despite her inner turmoil.
Did she like the female lead? Was she a lesbian?
How was that possible? In her life before the book, which was nineteen years, she had never liked anyone. How could she suddenly like the female lead after transmigrating into a book?
In a daze, she didn’t even register what her mother had asked.
Tan Yixin looked at Lin Luoluo, then turned to her husband with a smile, “Look at her, the child is so happy she hasn’t snapped out of it yet.”
Lin Xiangdong, sitting next to her, also wanted to speak.
How had their family managed to secure this? Didn’t the Gu family know about Zhang Qiu’s existence? Why did they agree?
He was tempted to warn his sister, but feared hurting her, and looked at Lin Luoluo with worry.
Lin Luoluo was still in a daze.
Lin Xiangdong pursed his lips, deciding he must first ask his brother, Gu Beichen, if he knew about this matter.
If Gu Beichen knew about it and did it intentionally…
Lin Xiangdong would have to talk to his parents clearly; he couldn’t let that brat get away with it!
Besides Lin Luoluo’s parents, the other two at the table were somewhat absent-minded.
After dinner, Lin Luoluo returned to her room, closed the door, and took a deep breath before questioning the system, “What is going on? How come I didn’t know I was getting engaged?”
The system flipped through the author’s book and dug out the engagement between Lin Luoluo and Gu Beichen from a corner.
[Regarding this matter, it was mentioned in the original text, and Gu Beichen’s mother, Sang Tian, also brought it up the last time you were a guest. Originally, it was just a joke between the two families back then. Now that you’ve arrived, everything naturally falls into place.]
Lin Luoluo pouted, “Didn’t you say the reader abandonment rate was increasing? What now? Do I still have to maintain the male and female leads’ relationship?”
She practically had “I dislike the male lead” written all over her face and was consistently making choices opposite to the main mission. The system fell silent and went to check the original book’s comments.
Lin Luoluo sat quietly in a daze for a while.
She couldn’t figure out her true feelings for Zhang Qiu.
Didn’t they say that when you like someone, your heart races? Did hers?
She couldn’t recall.
Lin Luoluo frustratingly tugged at her hair, wondering how her feelings for the female lead had changed so much.
Wait, what if they hadn’t changed?
Her eyes lit up instantly. Friendship can also generate jealousy!
Her relationship with Zhang Qiu was so good, so it was only natural to dislike the male lead.
Having figured it out, Lin Luoluo patted her chest in relief.
Such a simple matter, and she had agonized over it for so long. Fortunately, she had figured it out.
The system returned at this point, its tone strange: [The original book’s comment section has exploded.]
“Huh?”
Lin Luoluo was surprised, “I didn’t do anything! Could it be that the readers aren’t happy about me getting engaged to Gu Beichen?”
[No.] The system stated flatly, [Some readers are saying the author hid a yuri storyline in the extra chapters and is feeding ‘shift’ to the romance readers. The author admitted it.]
Lin Luoluo: …
Lin Luoluo: !!!
Lin Luoluo: “Who, who is a lesbian! I’m not!”
[How does the Host know the author is talking about you and the female lead?]
The System was confused: [Did the Host figure it out earlier?]
“Haha, how could that be?! So what do we do now?” Lin Luoluo stiffly changed the subject.
Oh my goodness!
Could it be that her liking for Zhang Qiu wasn’t her own liking, but due to the author’s irresistible force?
The System said: [The author mentioned compensating the readers with a bonus chapter. Since the author is the book’s ‘birth mother,’ we need to see the author’s action before proceeding with the mission. In the meantime, the Host is free to act on her own.]
[Host, if the author’s bonus chapter achieves over 80% reader satisfaction, you can go home.]
Going home…
It wasn’t that Lin Luoluo hadn’t thought about it.
But this sudden news made her heart plummet. Thinking that tomorrow might be the last time she sees Zhang Qiu, she pouted and asked, “Can I do anything I want?”
[Of course, but not anything too excessive.]
[You are still the villainess supporting character. It’s just that during the author’s creative period, the world consciousness of this book will fall into a temporary slumber. However, if you do things that don’t comply with the rules of this book, you will still be erased, such as building a rocket from scratch, assassinating the male lead, or changing a supporting character’s destiny, and so on.]
“I couldn’t possibly do any of the things you mentioned!” Lin Luoluo stomped her foot.
[That’s good. Host, I need to contact the main system and will temporarily leave you. Good luck.]
“Bye.” Lin Luoluo waved. After a moment, she carefully asked, “System? System? Are you still here?”
There was no response for a long time, and Lin Luoluo knew it must have left.
Ever since this ‘System’ got into her head, Lin Luoluo hadn’t had a day of peace. After all, knowing there’s some kind of being living in your brain naturally makes you guard up.
She bit her lip, hugged her knees, and sat on the bed. Looking at the teddy bear by her side, she softly asked, “If I leave, will you miss me?”
What kind of plot would the author write for reader satisfaction? Does she really like Zhang Qiu, or is it due to the irresistible force? Will tomorrow really be their last meeting? After this, they might go their separate ways, and she might only be able to see these people in the book.
Lin Luoluo buried her head in her legs, suddenly feeling very sad.
The moment of separation was near, and all she felt was reluctance to part.
