The Romance Extras Turned Out to Be a Yuri Story - Chapter 52

Lin Luoluo’s face went white. Gu Beichen saw Zhang Qiu, and continued to say, “You only went after Zhang Qiu because of me, and now you dare not admit it?”

Lin Luoluo couldn’t take it anymore and shouted at him, “Shut up!”

Zhang Qiu slowly walked closer, the chill around her not yet dispersed. She squeezed Lin Luoluo’s hand, trying to control her temper, and asked softly, “What is it?”

“I asked her out on a date,” Gu Beichen said deliberately, looking at Zhang Qiu provocatively.

Zhang Qiu ignored him and only listened to Lin Luoluo.

Lin Luoluo stiffly said, “Sang Jing is hospitalized. Gu Beichen came to take me to the hospital to visit her.”

“Who is Sang Jing?” It was someone Zhang Qiu didn’t know.

Her eyes deepened, and she stared intently at Lin Luoluo, hoping she wouldn’t leave with Gu Beichen.

Seeing that Zhang Qiu was ignoring him and still questioning Lin Luoluo, Gu Beichen frowned and said, “I’ve informed your aunt and uncle. If you don’t believe me, call them and ask.”

Lin Luoluo ignored him and explained to Zhang Qiu, “She’s Gu Beichen’s cousin. She just arrived in Longhai City not long ago. Gu Beichen said she’s been hospitalized.”

Just as she was speaking, Lin Luoluo’s phone rang. It was her mother calling.

The phone kept ringing. Zhang Qiu stepped back, lowered her gaze, and said, “Answer it. Don’t make people wait.”

Lin Luoluo, with trembling hands, took out her phone.

She looked at Zhang Qiu and pressed the answer button. Tan Yi’s voice came through the phone: “Luoluo, Beichen said he was going to pick you up. Have you seen him?”

“I’ve seen him,” Lin Luoluo whispered.

“That Beichen is so quick,” Tan Yi exclaimed.

“You and Beichen go and visit his cousin. Your Aunt Sang also told me about it this morning. That child is all alone, just arrived in Longhai, and is also injured. She’s about the same age as you, so spend more time with her if you can. After all, it must be lonely for a girl to be in the hospital by herself.”

“Mom, I know.”

“Mhm mhm, after you’re done, have Gu Beichen send you home early. You can’t stay overnight today, or I’ll have your brother come and pick you up.”

Lin Luoluo frowned, “Mom, why don’t we go another day? I can go with my brother to visit her too.”

“Don’t you want to cultivate your relationship with Gu Beichen? Besides, your brother doesn’t know her. If a man like him goes, the girl will be awkward.”

“Alright, alright, it’s settled. Go and come back soon.”

Tan Yi hung up the phone without allowing for any objection. Gu Beichen raised an eyebrow, “Get in the car.”

Lin Luoluo looked at Zhang Qiu with difficulty. Zhang Qiu stepped forward and opened the car door. “Go.”

Lin Luoluo’s heart trembled. Her fists clenched tightly and trembled. She looked at Zhang Qiu, feeling a sense of powerlessness spreading throughout her body.

She blinked, and a sour ache spread from the tip of her nose to her heart.

She had made a bad move; she couldn’t blame Zhang Qiu.

Lin Luoluo lowered her head and silently sat in the car. Gu Beichen looked back. Zhang Qiu was still holding the car door. She leaned in and said, “Move inside a little.”

Lin Luoluo looked at her. Zhang Qiu smiled lightly and gently scratched the tip of Lin Luoluo’s nose, a light touch. “I’ll go with you.”

Gu Beichen frowned.

Zhang Qiu sat inside and spoke in a very faint tone, “Can I join you? After all, I was the one who asked her out for dinner first. You were late, Gu Beichen. First come, first served. She should have had dinner with me first, but for your sake, I’ll reluctantly go with you.”

She acted as if she was condescending to join.

Gu Beichen was so angry he laughed.

Ever since they broke up, his and Zhang Qiu’s state had always been that their conversations quickly fell apart, yet he was such a fool that he still couldn’t let go of Zhang Qiu.

After getting in the car, Zhang Qiu grabbed Lin Luoluo’s hand. Gu Beichen sneered, “Come if you want to. The car has room.”

Lin Luoluo felt her hand being held very tightly. She looked at Zhang Qiu with her bright eyes, but Zhang Qiu wasn’t looking at her. Instead, she was looking out the window, her lips tightly pursened into a downward curve, showing that she wasn’t in high spirits.

She must be angry.

Lin Luoluo desperately wanted her to stop being angry, but she didn’t know what to do.

She actually knew in her heart, but she had been hesitant and had missed her chance.

There was an ax hanging over her head. A slight misstep and the whole game would be lost.

But there was no turning back. Lin Luoluo gripped Zhang Qiu’s hand, opened her lips slightly, and said, “Gu Beichen, let’s call off the engagement.”

The car screeched to a halt. Luckily, it wasn’t on the main road.

Gu Beichen and Zhang Qiu both looked at her in shock.

Lin Luoluo patted Zhang Qiu’s hand and let go, saying, “I was wrong before. Since neither of us likes the other, let’s stop tormenting each other.”

“Since the engagement started with me, let it end with me.”

“We are not suitable.”

Silence filled the car. Only Zhang Qiu’s eyes ignited with intense flames. That raging sea of fire made her eyes shine like the stars in the sky.

Gu Beichen remained silent for a long time before he finally spoke, “Lin Luoluo, an engagement is not a game. Since it has already begun, the end of this game is not up to me or you.”

The car started moving. The punishment Lin Luoluo had imagined did not come.

Zhang Qiu held her hand, her eyes shimmering with emotion.

Lin Luoluo was a little lost, the weight of Zhang Qiu’s hand in hers feeling immense.

【Host, what are you doing?】 The System shrieked in her mind.

Lin Luoluo smiled at Zhang Qiu, leaned tiredly on her shoulder, and reasonably explained to the System: 【Since my mission is to bring the male and female leads together, how can they reconcile if I’m still occupying the position of the male lead’s fiancée?】

System: 【That may be true, but didn’t I tell you not to act rashly before the author’s extra chapter is released?】

【Has the World Consciousness punished me again?】 Lin Luoluo retorted in her mind with her eyes closed: 【That proves what I’m doing is right.】

System: 【That’s because the World Consciousness… #%#】

The System’s voice suddenly became chaotic, and a segment of its speech was masked by static.

【You made an outrageous move. You were simply lucky that nothing happened. That’s probably it. I haven’t found any information on the Sang Jing you mentioned. When we get to the hospital, if the Host can approach her actively, I might be able to find some information.】

Lin Luoluo frowned, her worries seeming to gather on her forehead. Zhang Qiu reached out a finger, finding she couldn’t smooth the worry away.

Lin Luoluo grasped her hand, closed her eyes, and whispered, “I’m troubling you again, Jie-jie (older sister).”

Zhang Qiu glanced at the person driving in front and whispered, “It’s nothing.”

She was very happy that Luoluo had her in her heart.

Gu Beichen didn’t say another word on the way. He drove straight to the hospital and bought a bouquet of fresh flowers at the entrance before going to visit Sang Jing.

In the hospital room, Sang Jing was bored, staring at the ceiling. Her lower leg was broken in the last accident, and her plaster-casted foot was propped up high, leaving her only able to lie flat. The person who hit her rushed out to get hot water, but after a long wait, still hadn’t returned. Thinking of the other party’s petite frame, Sang Jing worried: Did she get kidnapped by the hot water bottle on the way?

The door was pushed open. Before she could complain, a bouquet of flowers appeared before her eyes. Sang Jing was stunned, then saw Gu Beichen’s sour face.

Sang Jing twitched her lips. Why did the male lead come?

Gu Beichen said in a low voice, “Mom told me to come see you. How’s your leg?”

Sang Jing pretended to sit up, then slumped back down, sighing, “Cousin, I’m sorry. I injured my leg and had to make you come see me.”

Gu Beichen stepped aside, revealing two beautiful, flower-like girls. Sang Jing had met one of them, the female lead Lin Luoluo. She hadn’t met the other, but still felt that anyone who could be friends with the male and female leads must be handsome or beautiful.

Sang Jing immediately sat up straight, manually adjusted the head of the bed behind her, and said enthusiastically, “It’s good that you came, Cousin. Why did you bring friends?”

She was more proactive with beautiful women than handsome men.

Especially the female lead, Lin Luoluo, who looked even more exquisite than on TV. Her long, permed hair was tied high at the back of her head. Dressed in a white dress, her features were delicate and small. Though not tall, her proportions were excellent, making her look long-legged.

But that dress looked familiar. Didn’t she wear it yesterday?

Sang Jing noticed a discrepancy. With the female lead’s status, she shouldn’t wear the same dress twice, right?

As she was pondering, Gu Beichen placed the flowers by Sang Jing’s bedside. Lin Luoluo, holding Zhang Qiu’s hand, walked in. Gu Beichen asked, “Your leg is inconvenient. Who’s taking care of you?”

“Auntie sent the housekeeper to take care of me. There’s usually someone around,” Sang Jing answered, her gaze still on Zhang Qiu. She asked anxiously, “This Jie-jie hasn’t been introduced yet.”

“This is Zhang Qiu,” Gu Beichen said flatly, not wanting to elaborate. He turned and said, “I’ll go get the things my mom asked me to bring you. You all chat first.”

He left, and the news nearly knocked Sang Jing out.

Zhang Qiu, the male lead’s ‘White Moonlight’?

She then looked at the two left in the room: the male lead’s fiancée and ex-girlfriend sitting together, holding hands.

Sang Jing felt the world was too crazy. She wouldn’t be surprised even if she saw a rat serving as a bridesmaid for a cat.

Twitching her lips, Sang Jing greeted them, “Thank you for coming to see me.”

Lin Luoluo smiled and nodded.

Actually, they weren’t close; they had only met once.

Zhang Qiu sat beside her and nodded at Sang Jing. The unfamiliar atmosphere was awkward. Sang Jing was about to freeze up when the door was pushed open. The person who had been out getting water for a long time finally showed up.

The short-legged person returned, holding a thermos bottle with a distressed expression. Her pants were completely wet. She put the thermos on the bedside table and complained to Sang Jing, “Isn’t this a high-end, special-care ward? Why isn’t it high-end at all?”

Sang Jing was full of questions: “What happened to you?”

The short-legged girl, Mao Yutong, drooped her face and said, “You said you wanted warm boiled water, so I went to get some. When I turned the cold water knob, the head broke and splashed all over me.”

Sang Jing stifled a laugh: “I told you you’re plagued by bad luck and need to go worship.”

Mao Yutong debated for a moment, then quickly decided.

“Then I’ll go this weekend and get a protective amulet for you too.”

Speaking of which, Sang Jing was depressed. She was just standing properly by the roadside and still managed to get hit and have her bone broken.

Lin Luoluo laughed upon hearing this. Recalling what the System said, she walked to Sang Jing’s bedside and said, “Let the little sister rest. I’ll pour you some water.”

“Thanks, Luoluo Jie.”

Mao Yutong went to deal with the wet stains on her clothes. Lin Luoluo used the opportunity of handing the water to touch Sang Jing’s hand. Both had a charged reaction, like an electric shock. Lin Luoluo subconsciously let go, and the cup of water spilled onto the bed.

Her vision went black, and she started to fall backward. Sang Jing’s mind was also in turmoil, and she couldn’t support herself, fainting.

Support
