The Romance Extras Turned Out to Be a Yuri Story - Chapter 22

Of course it was Zhang Qiu!

But how was she going to refuse Gu Beichen?

Lin Luoluo looked at Gu Beichen with difficulty. Gu Beichen seemed to understand and gradually let go of her hand.

Zhang Qiu smirked at him, “Gu Beichen, you really suck today.”

Gu Beichen didn’t look at Lin Luoluo, but at Zhang Qiu, saying, “Zhang Qiu, I thought I understood you very well these past three years.”

“I respected you, I cherished you. Give me a reason for breaking up.”

Rationality briefly took over.

Lin Luoluo tightly gripped her free hand and lowered her head. The atmosphere between the two of them, in which she felt she couldn’t intervene, made her feel a little sour.

Suddenly, her right hand was released, and her ears were covered. Zhang Qiu’s voice, as clear as cold water, came through like a mist, “It’s bad news, don’t listen.”

Lin Luoluo felt a strange urge to laugh. Even at a moment like this, Zhang Qiu was still considering her.

Zhang Qiu calmly told Gu Beichen, “Do you really want to discuss this in front of your fiancée? Gu Beichen, don’t beg me; it makes me look down on you.”

She was terrifyingly calm and completely wounded Gu Beichen’s heart.

Gu Beichen’s lips tightened. Looking at Zhang Qiu now, he felt she was completely unfamiliar.

She was still the person he loved—the kind, daring, and hardworking girl—but she didn’t love him anymore.

Had she ever loved him? For a moment, Gu Beichen was deeply doubtful.

“Let’s find a place to talk,” he heard himself say.

“Um, Miss, the nine coffees you ordered are ready for take-out,” a waiter timidly interrupted their exchange.

Zhang Qiu let go of Lin Luoluo and nodded at the waiter, “I’ll be right there.” Then she told Gu Beichen, “I don’t have time right now. How about Friday night? I’ll text you the address.”

Gu Beichen tightly pursed his lips, staring at her deeply. Zhang Qiu looked down at Lin Luoluo and said, “Do you want to go home, or stay here?”

Though Lin Luoluo wasn’t feeling particularly upbeat, she still smiled at Zhang Qiu, “Let’s go out.”

The two left together. The strange glances in the shop fell on Gu Beichen. He stood there for a moment and then also left. Only then did the murmuring in the shop get louder.

“Wow, two girls fighting over one guy?”

“No, I think they were fighting over the girl in the middle. It should be one man and one woman fighting over that girl, right?”

“The relationship is so complicated? Is it a lesbian couple or a heterosexual relationship?”

“Can’t tell, but the girl left with the other girl in the end, so it must be a lesbian couple. Is the guy unwilling to let go? Did you hear what they just said?”

“I heard the guy and the girl are engaged, and the one opposite is his ex-girlfriend.” The café staff also joined the discussion.

“This relationship is even more complicated.”

“Then why did the current fiancée run off with the ex-girlfriend?”

“Hiss! What a tragedy! Lesbians are right next to me!”

…

Zhang Qiu held the coffees in both hands. Lin Luoluo tried to help her, but Zhang Qiu gently blocked her.

“They’re not heavy. It’s just a short walk to the law firm. What about you? Weren’t you running an errand? How did you run into Gu Beichen?”

Lin Luoluo stammered a little. Zhang Qiu sighed, “Even if you like him, you shouldn’t spoil him. Men, the more you spoil them, the worse they treat you.”

Lin Luoluo smiled and nodded, “We bumped into him by accident. I didn’t expect to see you here, though.”

Her innocent, almond-shaped eyes looked at Zhang Qiu, the stars in them undimmed. She looked adorable and sweet, small when looking up, with a slender, pale neck, breathing lightly, like a frail kitten, instantly arousing Zhang Qiu’s protective instincts.

Zhang Qiu wanted to send the little kitten home, but she couldn’t be away from her work for too long. She could only sigh and say, “There’s no possibility between Gu Beichen and me, so you don’t need to worry. But you shouldn’t pay attention to anything he says. He’s always been spoiled by his family and won’t care about anyone else’s feelings.”

Lin Luoluo nodded, lowering her eyes. She didn’t really want to hear anything about Gu Beichen. She was more interested in hearing Zhang Qiu talk about herself. After hesitating for a while, she asked, “How’s your work going? Was the teacher satisfied with your last self-critique?”

Zhang Qiu’s eyes curved into a smile. Since her hands were full, she gently nudged Lin Luoluo with her shoulder.

“Of course everything’s fine! My teacher really likes me~”

“How are you getting back?” Zhang Qiu wrinkled her nose. “You didn’t come with Gu Beichen, did you? Should I call him back?”

Lin Luoluo shook her head, “My family’s car is over there.”

Zhang Qiu saw a black car parked on the side of the road, recognizing the Lin family’s license plate. She nodded and said, “You go first. I’ll watch you leave.”

Lin Luoluo was a little reluctant, but she got into the car step by step.

From inside the car, she watched Zhang Qiu turn and enter the office building behind them. She leaned her head against the car window and sighed.

What a day it had been! She hadn’t even had a clear talk with Gu Beichen.

What were they going to talk about on Friday?

With meetings this frequent, would they rekindle their old flame?

Lin Luoluo hit the car window with a thump. The driver in front asked, “Miss? Is something wrong?”

“Oh, nothing. Uncle Chang, just drive normally.”

Lin Luoluo smiled at the front seat, then slumped back in frustration, her shoulders drooping.

She might as well have been direct with Gu Beichen. Why did she act stubborn just now! The System wasn’t here anyway!

Even if she broke off the engagement, it wouldn’t affect anyone, would it? How could she be so unlucky as to be instantly discovered by the world consciousness? Maybe the System was just scaring her!

Deciding on the spot, Lin Luoluo pulled out her phone and composed a long message, sending it to Gu Beichen, the male lead of the book.

[I don’t like you at all. I only had to pretend to like you because I was the evil female supporting character. I never agreed to this engagement. Let’s call it off. Also, keep an eye on Gu Xiaoxiao. Zhang Qiu was framed by her!]

Woohoo!

After writing and editing this long text, Lin Luoluo felt completely refreshed. The moment she pressed send, the System’s voice suddenly sounded in her ear.

[Host, I’m back. Did you miss me?]

Lin Luoluo’s hand shook, and the phone instantly slipped from her grasp. Her vision went black, and she collapsed softly to the side. The last thing she heard was the System’s distorted, chicken-like shriek: [What did you do? Why did the World Consciousness wake up?!]

…

“Doctor, how is my daughter?” Outside the emergency room, a beautiful woman was held by a tall man, her tear tracks still wet.

The doctor removed his mask, his eyes still puzzled.

“All her vital signs are normal. She’s just like she’s asleep.”

“Asleep?” the man asked.

“Yes. The preliminary diagnosis is a comatose state. This is a rare case worldwide.”

“Then when will she wake up? It’s not a serious illness, is it? Doctor, you can cure her, right!” The woman questioned anxiously, tears visibly threatening to spill again, but the man held her tight.

Lin Xiangdong stood behind his parents, hands in his pockets, his lips tightly sealed.

Lin Luoluo had suddenly fainted in the car and was rushed to the hospital. It had been a day, and she still hadn’t woken up.

“We can’t determine when the patient will wake up. There is too little data on this type of illness,” the doctor said with difficulty.

The woman’s sobs scattered faintly in the hallway. Lin Xiangdong clenched his fists, and both he and his father’s eyes couldn’t help but turn red.

Lin Luoluo, what happened to you?
