The Romance Extras Turned Out to Be a Yuri Story - Chapter 26

Lin Luoluo’s heart skipped a beat.

She had mistaken him for someone else.

In her panic, she didn’t have time to properly distinguish the voice and clothing features of the person in front of her. Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the doorway: “Luoluo, the doctor is ready.”

“Oh, who came? Beichen, did you come to see Luoluo?”

“Mom…” Lin Luoluo wrinkled her little nose and threw herself into her mother’s arms, feeling terribly wronged.

Gu Beichen had almost scared her to death just now. What was wrong with this person? He silently returned to her room. Where was Lin Xiangdong? Where did that stinky brother go? Doesn’t he know that she can’t tell who is who right now?

“What’s wrong, Luoluo?” Her mother, Tan Yi, gently stroked her head. “Beichen is here.”

Lin Luoluo secretly glanced at Gu Beichen several times. Gu Beichen was staring intently at her, which scared her into shrinking her head back again.

“Alright, alright, you’re a big girl now, don’t let people laugh at you,” her mother, Tan Yi, said gently. “The doctor is ready over there, we need to go. Your dad is waiting.”

“Mm-hmm,” Lin Luoluo nodded, not daring to look at Gu Beichen, and clutched her mother’s sleeve.

Tan Yi asked, “Where’s your brother? Beichen is here, but he’s not keeping you company.”

Lin Luoluo shook her head. She also wanted to know why Gu Beichen came back alone. Her brother had disappeared.

Gu Beichen said, “Xiangdong was called away by the nurse to pick up the medical examination reports.”

“I see. I need to take Luoluo for the consultation. What about you, Beichen?”

“I’ll see Luoluo off too. I actually have something I want to talk to her about.”

Tan Yi winked at Lin Luoluo mischievously and then looked affectionately at Gu Beichen, adopting the attitude of a mother-in-law looking at a son-in-law.

“Then you two go ahead. I’ll tidy up the room. The doctor said if there are no surprises after this consultation, Luoluo can go home. Thank you for helping me take Luoluo over.”

Tan Yi deliberately gave them enough time to be alone. Lin Luoluo felt her heart pounding; she had a feeling that Gu Beichen was intentionally coming for her this time.

She pursed her lips, quite unwilling to spend time with Gu Beichen.

Not only had their previous interactions been unpleasant, but the fact that he was Zhang Qiu’s ex-boyfriend was enough to make Lin Luoluo fume.

“Let’s go,” Gu Beichen turned around.

Lin Luoluo looked to her mother for help. Tan Yi was smiling, waving her on and urging her to go quickly.

Lin Luoluo reluctantly shuffled into her slippers and followed behind Gu Beichen.

The two left the room, one in front of the other. They only stood together when they reached the elevator. Gu Beichen pressed the button and watched the numbers on the elevator panel continuously change. He suddenly said, “Do you remember the text message you sent me before you were hospitalized?”

Thump—

Bang—

Lin Luoluo felt like she had been hit by a cannon. Thunder and lightning flashed in her mind, and the little figures inside were scorched black.

“D-did I? Haha.” She gave two forced laughs. “No… right?” Her voice became progressively smaller.

Gu Beichen looked at the elevator door, which reflected their figures like a mirror, and slowly smiled.

“Lin Luoluo, who exactly are you?”

Gu Beichen began to doubt whether his memories were real. In his memory, Lin Luoluo was a pampered, delicate girl, but this Lin Luoluo was not only not delicate, but seemed to lack any temper at all.

He looked at Lin Luoluo with a scrutinizing gaze, even wondering if she had been swapped overseas.

The person standing in front of him now might just be a cosmetic fraud sent by some terrifying organization.

It wasn’t impossible.

The wealth of the four major families was coveted, and it was normal for people to take desperate measures.

[The world line has been repaired, and that text message has also been altered, Host. The World Consciousness is watching you, don’t be foolish.] The system suddenly spoke in her mind.

Lin Luoluo’s throat suddenly tightened. Her hands nervously gripped the seam of her pants. She forced herself to lift her head and said, “Gu Beichen, what nonsense are you talking about? Even if I did send that text, so what? Can’t I be unhappy with you?”

She had no idea what the text message had been changed to.

It had disappeared from her phone, as if she had never sent it. She had thought the system had erased it, but she hadn’t expected Gu Beichen to suddenly bring it up.

Gu Beichen was silent.

A moment later, the elevator arrived. There were people inside looking at them.

Gu Beichen moved first. He drifted out a sentence: “I thought you didn’t like me.”

Lin Luoluo: ?

What exactly was the text message changed to? Gu Beichen was acting strangely today.

“Come in,” Gu Beichen blocked the elevator door. “Aren’t you going to your consultation?”

Lin Luoluo slowly walked in, deliberately standing far away from Gu Beichen. However, the subsequent floors kept filling up with people, and she was eventually squeezed next to Gu Beichen, which utterly frustrated her.

Gu Beichen was tall, and his presence next to her was overpowering. Lin Luoluo only reached his chest and had to crane her neck to look up at him.

Zhang Qiu wasn’t like this when she stood with him.

Handsome man and beautiful woman, Gu Beichen was only a head taller than Zhang Qiu. Just based on height, they looked very compatible.

Lin Luoluo’s heart was a mess. She was thinking about everything, and the more she thought, the more jealous she felt.

She couldn’t help but resent Gu Beichen’s height. So what if he was the male lead! Why did he have to be so tall! He was like a utility pole blocking her view!

When exiting the elevator, she couldn’t resist deliberately stepping on Gu Beichen’s foot before walking out.

Gu Beichen frowned, looking down at the footprint on his leather shoe, wondering if Lin Luoluo had done it on purpose.

Lin’s father was waiting outside the consultation room. When he saw them, he thanked Gu Beichen, brought Lin Luoluo inside, and Gu Beichen sat on a leisure chair in the hallway. He pulled out his phone, squeezed it slightly, then unlocked the screen, opened the messages, and found the one Lin Luoluo had sent.

[I like you. I agree to the engagement. We won’t break it off. Gu Xiaoxiao framed Zhang Qiu.]

He pinched his nose.

Gu Beichen was still very suspicious of his memory.

Because he remembered it being a very long text message with a lot of information. He had just gotten into the car for the drive back and was being scolded by his father. He had subconsciously glanced at it, but when he opened it again, the text message had abruptly become shorter, and the content had changed.

Gu Beichen felt somewhat bewildered.

Could his memory have gone wrong?

He scrutinized the text message.

His memory shouldn’t be wrong. He clearly remembered the first sentence was Lin Luoluo saying she didn’t like him and wanted to break off the engagement. He hadn’t fully understood the rest of the content—something about a vicious female villain. Could Lin Luoluo have been reading too many novels? Or had she suddenly regretted it and hired a hacker to tamper with his phone?

Gu Beichen held his head, his fringe falling over his forehead. He stared intently at the phone until the screen went black, still unable to figure out an explanation.

Does Lin Luoluo really like him, or is she pretending?

Everyone around him kept telling him how deeply Lin Luoluo loved him, but Gu Beichen didn’t remember it.

He only remembered a young, quiet Lin Luoluo waiting by the roadside for the boys to run over when they were little. She was small and delicate, and her voice was soft and milky.

The older boys, who were a few years her senior, could pick up her light frame with one arm.

Later, she went abroad. Every time they met, Lin Xiangdong would complain that their parents were biased, saying that his parents weren’t worried when he fell, but they worried over Lin Luoluo just because she stayed up late to finish homework.

Falling down wasn’t allowed, strict teachers weren’t allowed, staying up late wasn’t allowed, waking up early for school wasn’t allowed—nothing seemed to be allowed. After she went abroad, Gu Beichen rarely heard anything about her.

They hadn’t seen each other for a long time. How could she like him?

Gu Beichen also couldn’t feel her affection.

He let out a long breath, sweeping the fringe back from his forehead, revealing a smooth and handsome brow, which immediately drew many glances. Just then, Lin Xiangdong hurried over with the medical reports. Gu Beichen waved at him and asked, “How is it?”

Lin Xiangdong had a look of joy on his face: “No problems, everything is normal.”

Gu Beichen couldn’t help but smile too.

Lin Xiangdong lightly punched him. “You didn’t scare my sister just now, did you? When I went back, my mom said Lin Luoluo’s face changed when she saw you. She thought it was because she was happy, but I think you scared her. Didn’t I tell you that she can’t distinguish people right now?”

Gu Beichen rubbed his nose.

He had wanted to test Lin Luoluo just now, to see if she was faking her illness just to marry into the Gu family.

Who gets sick immediately after meeting him? His father had even specifically gone to the Lin family to apologize for it.

Lin Xiangdong looked at his dark eyes and couldn’t help but say, “Gu Beichen, I’ve noticed you’ve changed.”

Gu Beichen paused, then heard Lin Xiangdong say, “Before, even though you didn’t talk much, I could still feel your emotions. Now you’ve become more distant and profound, like you’re further away from us.”

Gu Beichen was silent for a moment before smiling and saying, “Haven’t you changed too?”

Lin Xiangdong thought for a moment and then laughed. “That’s true. Everyone changes.”

He looked at the consultation room sign and said, “I know you don’t like Luoluo, and you don’t need to like her too much. You and Zhang Qiu have broken up now. I saw her this morning, and she seemed more free than you. Since you’re both considering things right now, why not give Luoluo a chance? A chance for you to fall for her.”

“I’ll persuade my dad to think carefully about the engagement.”

“You’re my brother, and Luoluo is my sister. I don’t want us to fall out over this.”

Gu Beichen’s lips were set in a straight line. Lin Xiangdong looked at him with earnest eyes.

It was the genuine consideration of an older brother for his younger sister.

Gu Beichen sighed internally. Among the four of them, Lin Xiangdong was the one who had changed the least. Only he remained this pure and kind.

He said, “It’s not that I’m unwilling to give Lin Luoluo a chance. It’s that she doesn’t like me at all. I don’t know why she wants to get engaged to me.”
