The Romance Extras Turned Out to Be a Yuri Story - Chapter 53

“You’re also a transmigrator?” Lin Luoluo asked in shock.

Sitting cross-legged in the spatial rift created by the collision of the two systems, Sang Jing rubbed her head and said, “Yeah, I really didn’t expect you to be one too.”

Lin Luoluo was silent for a while. The two systems were still communicating, and their soul bodies had been pulled here. They had no idea what was happening outside.

She asked, “Did your system assign you a mission, or are our missions the same?”

“You’re also supposed to break up the male and female leads?” Sang Jing couldn’t help but ask, “But aren’t you the female lead?”

Lin Luoluo frowned, realizing that the information they had received seemed to be different.

“My mission is to bring the male and female leads together. I’m not the female lead; I’m the villainous supporting female character.”

Sang Jing was stunned. “You’re not the female lead? Then who is?”

“Zhang Qiu.” Lin Luoluo’s expression softened as she spoke the name. “She is the female lead of this novel. The system pulled me in because the original author rushed the ending, and the readers were dissatisfied, so the system wants me to rewrite the final outcome.”

“Wait, you said novel?” Sang Jing had heard that The Wealthy Marriage Alliance was adapted from an online novel, but she hadn’t read it, so she didn’t know much about it. Her voice became small and a bit uneasy. “I transmigrated into a TV drama. In the drama, you are the female lead. You secretly loved the male lead for over twenty years and eventually moved him with your actions, making him give up his first love.”

“Zhang Qiu is the charismatic first love in the TV drama—everyone’s darling. She’s not only Gu Beichen’s first love, but she also has several other men circling her. The world is captivated by her, but she doesn’t love anyone; she’s solely focused on her career.”

This version was completely different from what Lin Luoluo knew.

Now that the systems were gone, Sang Jing knew no one was monitoring them. She winked at Lin Luoluo and asked, “Do you like the male lead?”

Lin Luoluo froze for a moment, then shook her head without hesitation: “I don’t like him.”

Sang Jing breathed a sigh of relief. Now she wouldn’t have any reservations about completing her mission. She was about to laugh and tell Lin Luoluo how guilty she felt that her system’s mission required her to break up a couple in love when she heard Lin Luoluo’s resolute coming out: “I like Zhang Qiu.”

“So I need to break off my engagement with Gu Beichen.”

The other person didn’t just open the closet door; she kicked the whole thing down.

Sang Jing was greatly alarmed, and it took her a while to process the information. She stammered, “Oh, is that… is that so?”

The two looked at each other, but Lin Luoluo remained calm, completely unaware of the bombshell she had dropped. Sang Jing took a moment to accept the fact that the female lead and the supporting female character were in love. She swallowed and said, “Actually, when The Wealthy Marriage Alliance aired, some people did ‘ship’ you two. Because the first love is a career fanatic—she’s an economic lawyer who has been involved in the liquidation of many multinational corporations. There was a time when the male lead’s company had problems and was reported; the lawyer hired by the opposing side was her. The male lead hoped she would give him a break out of their past affection, but she showed him no favoritism. If you hadn’t timely pleaded with your family to inject capital into the male lead’s company, he might have had his career ruined by the first love.”

“There was a scene where you brought the injected funds to the male lead and happened to run into the first love leaving his office. You two bumped into each other at the door, and it was ‘love at first sight’.”

“The scriptwriter intended to convey that you misunderstood the male lead and the first love were rekindling their relationship, but the director shot it in a way that made everyone start shipping your CP.”

Although the Luo-Qiu CP was considered crack-shipping, the two leads were good-looking and had complementary personalities. Sang Jing herself briefly shipped them back then.

Lin Luoluo listened intently.

That TV drama was actually closely related to their current lives.

Zhang Qiu graduated in economics and is currently developing into a lawyer.

She felt a stir in her heart. Was there some connection? Otherwise, their missions would be contradictory.

But upon reflection, they weren’t entirely contradictory. The other person’s system required breaking up her and Gu Beichen, and her mission was to bring Gu Beichen and Zhang Qiu together. In the end, they would still achieve the same goal.

Sang Jing asked, “Since you already have a beloved, why can’t you just break off the engagement directly?”

Lin Luoluo felt bitterness in her heart.

“I tried to stop it back then, but the world consciousness in this place is very strong. This step must happen. If I try to break it off, the world will forcibly pull the plot back on track.”

“I see.” Sang Jing frowned in thought. “When I came here, the system didn’t mention any world consciousness. It just threatened me to complete the mission quickly, or it wouldn’t let me go home.”

Sang Jing felt incredibly unlucky. She was suddenly pulled into this world, and the system did nothing but threaten her every day. Now that she finally found a companion, Sang Jing was extremely moved.

After thinking, Sang Jing said, “Since it’s inconvenient for you to break the engagement, how about I help you? This way, it’ll be a win-win for both of us!”

Lin Luoluo didn’t expect Sang Jing to be so agreeable. She was immediately excited and shook the other’s hand vigorously.

Sang Jing also excitedly shook her hand back. After being excited for a long time, they both looked up at the sky. Their two systems were still talking about something and hadn’t returned yet.

Lin Luoluo asked, “How will you help me?”

Sang Jing pondered and said, “I know something. My cousin was sent by my uncle to train at the grassroots level. With his personality, he easily offends people, and lately, he’s been constantly targeted. But there is a female leader who treats him very well.”

Sang Jing quietly lowered her voice and said, “I suspect that female leader likes my cousin. Those rich young masters are often not too disciplined.”

This scene was actually shown in the TV drama. When the female lead, Lin Luoluo, and the male lead, Gu Beichen, announced their engagement, the male lead was in pain over having to give up his first love and was being excluded after his father threw him to the grassroots level. The female leader’s gentleness and consideration moved him. In addition, the female lead was also sad because the male lead still loved his first love and didn’t visit him for a while, leading to the male lead and the female leader having a relationship.

Although the female leader left on her own once she learned the male lead’s identity, this episode became a thorn in the female lead’s heart. The two would later argue over it and almost divorce. The conflict only subsided after the female lead became pregnant.

Sang Jing said, “You don’t need to do anything. I’ll send the evidence to your parents. If they love you, they will voluntarily break off the engagement.”

In the TV drama, the female lead Lin Luoluo’s parents mentioned that it was the female lead who didn’t want to break the engagement. She was the one who maintained the relationship in the early stages. But now that the female lead doesn’t love the male lead, no one will maintain it, and the relationship will naturally dissolve.

Lin Luoluo didn’t know what would happen in the future, and hearing Sang Jing speak so confidently made her half-believe it.

Didn’t Gu Beichen love the female lead until death? How could he cheat?

Well, it wasn’t exactly cheating. Gu Beichen and Zhang Qiu had already broken up, and Gu Beichen didn’t love her, so cheating was normal.

Lin Luoluo thought about it, feeling that Sang Jing was filling in the latter half of the story of this novel. But wasn’t the author still developing the novel’s epilogue? The TV drama she mentioned also matched certain settings of this novel.

Lin Luoluo’s brain was almost fried when the two systems finally finished their discussion and came to pick up their hosts.

[Host.]

The voice sounded in her mind again. Lin Luoluo worried, “I wonder what it’s like outside.”

Sang Jing was also worried. “Have we been unconscious for a while?”

[Host, I’ll send you out now.]

Sang Jing also quieted down, seemingly communicating with her system.

Lin Luoluo nodded. Although she was curious about why a second transmigrator appeared in this world, she was more worried that Zhang Qiu might be anxious. She could ask later once she was out.

[Okay.]

A flash of white light later, Lin Luoluo woke up, dazed.

The ceiling was white. Her eyes felt a little dry, and she blinked.

Lying on the bed, feeling top-heavy, she must have been out of her body for too long. Lin Luoluo slowly sat up. The room was empty.

She looked at herself. She was still wearing the same dress she arrived in, meaning she hadn’t been unconscious for too long.

Massaging her forehead, Lin Luoluo put on her shoes and prepared to go out to find someone. Just as she reached the door, she heard a familiar voice. Zhang Qiu was talking to someone.

“How is Sang Jing?”

“She hasn’t woken up either.”

It was Gu Beichen.

“What happened in the ward when I was out? Why did both of them faint?” Gu Beichen asked, confused.

Zhang Qiu’s voice was filled with bitterness. “Nothing happened. The doctor said Luoluo might have had low blood sugar.”

“And Sang Jing?” Gu Beichen wondered. “She can’t possibly have low blood sugar too, right?”

Lin Luoluo opened the door. “I’m fine.”

Both of them turned to look at her. Zhang Qiu’s eyes showed surprise, but also worry. “Do you feel dizzy? The doctor just gave you glucose.”

Lin Luoluo knew that wasn’t the case, but she had no other excuse to offer, so she said softly, “I’m better now.”

Zhang Qiu clearly didn’t believe her. She took Lin Luoluo’s hand and said, “I just bought some food. You should eat something first.”

Gu Beichen rubbed his nose, feeling a bit guilty.

They were supposed to be having a meal, but he dragged them to the hospital.

“Eat something first. I’ll go check on Sang Jing.”

Zhang Qiu nodded, guided Lin Luoluo back into the room, and put down the food she was carrying.

She had gone out to buy food just now.

Lin Luoluo was indeed a little hungry. Chewing on her bread, she asked, “How did I end up here?”

Zhang Qiu looked at her, her eyes filled with helplessness. “I carried you over.”

Lin Luoluo touched her nose. She hadn’t expected something like this to happen, but she couldn’t blame anyone but the system. Still, this time she had gained something: at least she had an extra ally.

“How’s Sang Jing?” she asked.

Zhang Qiu shook her head. “She was still unconscious when I came over. The doctor said she might have hit her head when she fell earlier and needs more tests. We can go see her after you finish eating.”

Lin Luoluo quickly sped up her eating.

Since she was awake, Sang Jing should be awake too.

By the time she finished, it was already dark as Zhang Qiu led her to Sang Jing’s hospital room. Before they even stepped inside, they heard a wail.

“What?!”

Zhang Qiu pushed the door open. Mao Yutong was still there, anxiously holding Sang Jing’s hand and asking helplessly, “What’s wrong with you?”

Sang Jing covered her head, looking dejected.

She had woken up moments ago and felt a throbbing pain at the back of her head. Mao Yutong had told her she’d fainted and fallen off the bed, hitting her head. But what shocked her the most wasn’t that—it was that her system had changed!

Sang Jing murmured, “You should go to the temple and pray tomorrow, and get a protective charm for me too.”

Sang Jing felt she was just too unlucky.

“No, I’ll go with you to the temple tomorrow.”

She insisted. What if the Bodhisattva thought she wasn’t sincere if she didn’t go herself?

Mao Yutong looked at her helplessly and said, “How can you climb the mountain like this?”

The most famous temple in Longhai City was on a mountain.

“I’ll go in a wheelchair!” Sang Jing insisted.

Mao Yutong twitched her lips. She was there to apologize, since she had accidentally bumped into her, so she reluctantly agreed to Sang Jing’s request, saying, “Then I’ll call a car.”

After listening to their conversation, Lin Luoluo finally spoke up, “You’re going up the mountain tomorrow? Can I join you?”

She wanted a protective charm too.

Zhang Qiu was also tempted, but she had to work tomorrow. Her vacation was over, and she needed to report to the company.

Sang Jing’s eyes lit up when she saw her. She nodded and said, “Sure.”

It wasn’t convenient to talk with others around, so she winked at Lin Luoluo and said, “We haven’t exchanged WeChat yet. Want to add each other?”

Lin Luoluo nodded. Right after they connected, her phone buzzed twice. Sang Jing immediately sent several “Help me” messages: “Did my system run over to you?! Your system is so serious! How do we swap them back?”

Lin Luoluo was full of questions.

She hadn’t communicated with the system since she woke up, as her only worry was Zhang Qiu.

Lin Luoluo frowned and softly called out to the system in her mind.

【Hello, Host Lin Luoluo.】

Although the voice was still a system tone, she could sense a difference in the way it addressed her. Plus, Sang Jing’s system’s voice had been adjusted to sound closer to a human’s.

【You are Sang Jing’s system.】 Lin Luoluo stated directly. 【How did you end up with me?】

【Apologies, a problem occurred inadvertently when bringing you both back.】

【Can you switch back then?】

【Not for the time being. Does the Host wish for her system to return?】

Lin Luoluo was silent for a moment before asking, 【Will this interfere with your mission?】

【No, we can also exchange Hosts.】

Lin Luoluo’s heart skipped a beat.

But then she thought of something else. Her system’s mission was to bring the male and female leads together. With the system on her, she could at least choose whether or not to follow its guidance. But it was different for Sang Jing; she might not choose to abandon the mission.

It wasn’t that Lin Luoluo didn’t trust her, but she didn’t want to overestimate human nature. Human nature couldn’t withstand any test.

【How do we switch back?】

【It’s not possible yet. Your souls have just left your bodies, and another separation would cause you to faint for a long time before you could be returned.】

There were many more questions, but now wasn’t the time; she needed a quiet place.

Lin Luoluo reached for Zhang Qiu’s hand. The questions in her mind had only taken a few seconds, as if she were just snapping out of a daze.

Lin Luoluo nodded to Sang Jing and said, “It’s getting late. I’ll head back now. I’ll come pick you up at the hospital tomorrow.”

Mao Yutong readily agreed. She had been taking time off work recently to look after Sang Jing at the hospital.

Sang Jing looked anxious, but Lin Luoluo pressed down on the words she wanted to say, “We can talk about anything else on the phone.”

Gu Beichen had just stepped out to ask the doctor about Sang Jing’s condition. When he returned, he saw Lin Luoluo grabbing Zhang Qiu, ready to leave. After giving Sang Jing a few more words of caution, he hurried after them.

“How are you getting back?”

Lin Luoluo didn’t want to see him, and she snapped, “By taxi.”

Gu Beichen’s lips twitched lazily, “Still mad, huh? It’s dark, and it’s not safe. Let me take you back.”

“No, thanks,” Lin Luoluo refused.

“Then what about Zhang Qiu?” Gu Beichen blurted out.

Lin Luoluo knew he hadn’t given up. That’s why he had deliberately provoked her at the school earlier. It looked like he was provoking her, but he was actually trying to see if Zhang Qiu would get jealous. Unfortunately, Zhang Qiu was already hers.

Lin Luoluo scoffed, “I can send my sister home first, and then have my driver pick me up.”

Gu Beichen caught up. “Why are you so stubborn? You won’t use a free driver, but you choose the troublesome way.”

“Gu Beichen, you’re so annoying!” Lin Luoluo couldn’t help herself.

She took Zhang Qiu’s hand and walked forward, with Gu Beichen still chasing behind them.

“You called me ‘Brother’ earlier, and now I’m just ‘Gu Beichen’? Lin Luoluo, why do you women change so fast?”

“Then break off the engagement with me,” Lin Luoluo stopped.

“I was wrong, but can we break off the engagement?”

Gu Beichen fell silent.

His family matters were not up to him to decide. Neither his father nor his mother would agree to this.

Zhang Qiu sighed. “I’ll take you.”

“You don’t need to take me.”

“Gu Beichen, we’re leaving now.”

Zhang Qiu flagged down a taxi. One conveniently stopped. Zhang Qiu nodded at Gu Beichen, pulled Lin Luoluo, and got in the car.

Once inside, Lin Luoluo clung to Zhang Qiu like an octopus, complaining, “That jerk Gu acts so deeply in love, but he’s still unwilling to lose his benefits.”

Zhang Qiu pressed her forehead against Lin Luoluo’s, feeling that her temperature was normal, and breathed a sigh of relief. She took Lin Luoluo’s hand and held it.

“I know how you feel. Take your time.”

Lin Luoluo looked disappointed, “I don’t want you to suffer anymore, and I don’t want to run away anymore.”

She glanced at the front seat, leaned in, and whispered in Zhang Qiu’s ear, “Sister, I love you so much.”

That’s why she didn’t want Zhang Qiu to be hurt again because of her.

Their first meeting might not have been perfect, but Lin Luoluo hoped that every day they spent together from now on would be happy.
