The Romance Extras Turned Out to Be a Yuri Story - Chapter 64.1

Lin Luoluo contacted Sang Jing, who was also anxious.

Since hearing a rumor from her aunt about Gu Beicheng cohabiting, there had been no news. She hadn’t seen her aunt get angry, and Gu Beicheng hadn’t returned in the last two weeks. Seeing her one-month deadline about to expire, Sang Jing was getting worried.

She told Lin Luoluo: “I’ll go check it out in person tomorrow!”

“What about your leg?” Lin Luoluo was a little concerned.

“Don’t worry, I’ll bring Mao Yutong with me. I’ll just say Auntie sent me to visit my cousin.”

Sang Jing wanted to personally see Gu Beicheng’s current situation.

Truthfully, Gu Beicheng was doing quite well.

He had hesitated at first about co-renting with a female supervisor, but he didn’t have much money. Also, the female supervisor took him to see the apartment. Besides the living room probably being smaller than his family’s bathroom, and the side bedroom being narrow and small, and the fact that the bathroom had to be shared, Gu Beicheng couldn’t find a single fault.

The room was clean and tidy, and the bedding smelled like it had been sun-dried.

In the mornings, he even got a ride.

Gu Beicheng immediately agreed.

After moving in, there was another surprise: the female supervisor actually knew how to cook, and her cooking was excellent.

After only two weeks, Gu Beicheng, who had started eating cheap takeout, felt comfortable both physically and mentally.

However, there were inconveniences. After all, he was a man, and the other person was a woman.

Gu Beicheng was a little surprised when he received Sang Jing’s call.

“My mom asked you to come see me?”

Sang Jing replied, “Auntie was worried but didn’t want to make Uncle lose face, so she asked me to bring you some money.”

Gu Beicheng was initially a little embarrassed, but a penny can break a hero. Although he was co-renting, he had only paid for one month. Seeing that Sang Jing was coming to deliver money, he readily agreed.

Sang Jing brought Mao Yutong with her at noon.

Gu Beicheng didn’t want Sang Jing to know he was living with a woman, so he arranged to meet outside. However, during lunch, the female supervisor, He Jin, suddenly called him, saying she had left a document at home. She was currently out with a client and asked if Gu Beicheng could help her go back and retrieve it.

Gu Beicheng initially didn’t want to go, thinking, how can a grown man be ordered around by a woman? But then he noticed He Jin sounded anxious on the phone. Thinking about how well He Jin had treated him over the last two days, Gu Beicheng reluctantly agreed.

It was noon, and Gu Beicheng couldn’t get a taxi. Seeing his urgency, Sang Jing considerately said, “I drove here. Where are you going, Cousin?”

Gu Beicheng thought for a moment and told her the address.

After retrieving the document, he went to deliver it. Gu Beicheng was about to leave after dropping it off, but he saw He Jin shamelessly begging the old men clients to just take a look at the document. These men, however, were drinking and having fun, making fun of her, and deliberately pouring her drinks, saying she had to drink it before they’d talk business.

Gu Beicheng frowned. He sent a text message to Sang Jing, telling her to leave, and stayed to accompany He Jin in the business entertainment.

Sang Jing didn’t leave. She had Mao Yutong drive the car to the side to wait and see when Gu Beicheng would come out.

After waiting for an hour, they finally saw Gu Beicheng come out, holding a woman who couldn’t stand steadily, and hailing a taxi. The two were pulling and holding onto each other, looking very intimate.

Sang Jing hadn’t expected such a find today.

She remembered from the TV series that it was only when the supporting female character got drunk that she ended up with Gu Beicheng. However, the supporting character acted very calmly afterward and eventually took money and disappeared.

It was Sang Jing’s first time acting like a paparazzi. She took out her phone and snapped pictures non-stop. Then, she asked Mao Yutong to follow them.

Mao Yutong was puzzled: “Isn’t he your cousin?”

Sang Jing said quietly, “My cousin is about to get engaged.”

Mao Yutong, who had initially slowed down, stepped on the gas pedal and chased after the car in front.

Meanwhile, Lin Luoluo and Zhang Qiu were still shopping with Meili.

Meili finally met the legendary Zhang Qiu. She praised Zhang Qiu for being as beautiful as described in Lin’s letter, making Lin Luoluo blush and cover her mouth.

Zhang Qiu became interested: “What did she write about me in the letter?”

Meili mumbled indistinctly, looking innocently at Lin Luoluo with her big eyes.

Lin Luoluo shyly lowered her head and whispered, “Don’t listen to Meili’s nonsense. Her Chinese isn’t good.”

Meili blinked and had to accept the blame.

When Zhang Qiu went to buy them milk tea, Meili asked, “Lin, why don’t you let Zhang know? I think it will help you confess.”

Lin Luoluo blushed and waved her hand: “It’s not like that. I have a plan for the confession.”

Meili didn’t understand but nodded vaguely anyway.

Zhang Qiu returned with the milk tea. Meili tasted it and was amazed, thoroughly enjoying the sweet drink.

The three of them played all day before parting ways.

After returning home, Lin Luoluo finally had time to call Sang Jing. Sang Jing said excitedly, “You have no idea, I have a big scoop!”

“What is it?”

“Gu Beicheng stayed in that girl’s room all day! I saw it with my own eyes! I think we can make our move!”

Lin Luoluo’s heart trembled.

“Did you take pictures?”

“Yes.” Sang Jing was so happy she was practically spinning around the room.

She lowered her voice and told Lin Luoluo, “Let’s meet tomorrow.”

“Okay,” Lin Luoluo nodded.

The next day, the two met. Sang Jing laid the developed photos in front of Lin Luoluo. “Look, is this enough?”

Lin Luoluo looked down at the pictures of Gu Beicheng and the other girl pulling and holding onto each other, feeling a bit hesitant.

Sang Jing whispered, “If you don’t act now, it will be too late. I was wondering why Auntie wasn’t doing anything, but I realized she had planned it all along. Knowing that girl and Gu Beicheng were working on a project, she already made arrangements. No matter how hard they try, that project will eventually be stalled. It’s all to make them give up.”

Once He Jin learns about Gu Beicheng’s identity, she will take a sum of money and voluntarily resign. At that time, all evidence will be destroyed by Sang Tian.

This is all to ensure the marriage alliance between the Lin and Gu families proceeds smoothly.

This made Lin Luoluo feel despicable. She held the photos, wavering. Although Gu Beicheng was a bit arrogant, he had always treated her well and taken care of her like a little sister.

Seeing the difficulty on her face, and hearing the system in her mind screaming like an explosion, Sang Jing’s eyes turned red and she said, “If you can’t do it, I’ll do it!”

She absolutely had to break up this male and female lead!

She didn’t want to stay in this damned place. She wanted to go back home.

The life of a transmigrator was not good, and Sang Jing longed to return to her peaceful, dead-water life.

She grabbed the photos and put them away, then started her electric wheelchair and left.

Lin Luoluo shouted, “Sang Jing!”

Sang Jing didn’t look back. Lin Luoluo squatted down, picked up a slipped photo, and sighed.

[Are you unhappy?] Sang Jing’s system suddenly asked: [If she completes the mission, you will also have a chance to go back, back to your normal world.]

Go back…

Lin Luoluo was silent and in a trance.

She had actually forgotten what her past life was like. It was as if she had always been a person here.

The family here was no different from her family, except that her small family might not have been this wealthy.

And her parents were much younger here.

Lin Luoluo put the photo into her bag, paid, and left. She was still a bit dazed when she got back.

Her parents had returned from their business trip and brought Lin Luoluo many gifts.

Her mother, Tan Yi, unpacked a cake dress and held it up against Lin Luoluo, sighing, “I wonder if I’ll still be able to buy you gifts like this after you get married.”

Lin Luoluo tentatively said, “What if I don’t get married and stay with you?”

“Of course, that’s fine,” Tan Yi smiled and nodded.

Lin Luoluo was about to open her mouth and say she didn’t want to get engaged to Gu Beicheng when she suddenly heard Tan Yi turn to her father and say, “This child is still a homebody. I don’t want Luoluo to marry into the Gu family so early either. Tell the Gu family that the engagement can be next month, but the marriage cannot be early. Luoluo is still in school.”

The smile on Lin Luoluo’s face froze.

She opened her mouth and said, “I don’t want to get engaged to Gu Beicheng anymore.”

“Silly child,” Tan Yi covered her mouth and laughed, “Why are you nervous now that you hear about the engagement? Isn’t this what you’ve always wanted? Isn’t it good to have someone else dote on you besides us?”

Lin Father also reluctantly said, “Gu Beicheng is decent.”

Decent? Gu Beicheng is far from decent.

Lin Luoluo said with disappointment, “I’m serious. I don’t like Gu Beicheng anymore.”

Tan Yi’s expression turned serious for a moment, then she stroked Lin Luoluo’s head and asked, “Did you argue with Gu Beicheng? Has he been neglecting you because he’s busy with work recently?”

“Mom will talk to him properly next time we see him.”

“Dad, you say something too,” her mother urged. Her father said in a low voice, “Are you serious?”

Lin Luoluo saw a glimmer of hope. She rubbed her hands together in front of her, cautiously saying, “It’s not exactly an argument. I just feel like we’re not a good fit, whether it’s our personalities or other aspects.”

“Oh, you child. Didn’t you say you liked Gu Beicheng just a while ago?” Tan Yi became anxious. “If you say you’re not a good fit now, what was the point of saying all those things last time?”

Lin Luoluo wished time could go back when she remembered the impulsive thing she did. She stammered, “That was because I hadn’t thought it through. I understand now. Gu Beicheng doesn’t like me. A forced relationship won’t be sweet.”

“He doesn’t like you?” Lin Father suddenly asked. “Does he have someone he likes?”

Lin Luoluo was confused about why her father suddenly thought of this. She was stumped for a moment before quietly asking, “Dad, why did you suddenly ask about that?”

Lin Father frowned.

“Did he hurt you?”

Lin Luoluo quickly shook her head and waved her hands: “No, we just don’t have chemistry.”

Tan Yi sighed. Now she finally understood. She hugged Lin Luoluo with a heartache, lowered her head, and rubbed her daughter’s forehead. “My daughter is so outstanding; so many people want to be in-laws with us. What’s one Gu family? If you don’t like him, then we’ll drop it. It was only a verbal agreement anyway, right, Dad?”

Lin Father also nodded, stood up, and wrapped his arms around both mother and daughter. As they hugged, Lin Luoluo felt the warmth emanating from her parents, which filled her with a sense of guilt over her deception.

She lowered her head, not wanting her unusual expression to be noticed.

Parents’ Concern and Investigation

Lying in bed that night, Lin Luoluo was still thinking about the matter. Her family was incredibly good to her. She had thought this would be a difficult topic to bring up, but it turned out she had been wrong.

While Lin Luoluo drifted into sleep, her parents were still awake.

Lin Father and Lin Mother cornered their son, Lin Xiangdong, to ask about Gu Beicheng.

Lin Xiangdong panicked a little but quickly composed himself. “I don’t know what he’s been doing lately. I only know that he argued with his dad and was kicked out of the house by Uncle Gu.”

“Is Old Gu perhaps not going to want this son anymore?” Tan Yi frowned upon hearing this. She had heard rumors about the messy situation in the Gu family. If Lin Luoluo hadn’t liked Gu Beicheng so much in the first place, she might not have agreed to let her daughter marry into such a family.

Like father, like son—it wasn’t that Tan Yi looked down on people, but she cherished her daughter like a priceless jewel.

She looked at Lin Father and said, “Dad, what do you think?”

Lin Father thought for a moment and said, “I won’t interfere with you juniors’ interactions, but I’ll ask you one thing: In all the time you’ve known Gu Beicheng, has he ever had a long-term girlfriend?”

Lin Xiangdong met his parents’ gaze and said hesitantly, “Luoluo knows everything about Gu Beicheng’s affairs.”

Lin Father’s eyes grew strict, staring at him. “I’m asking you here. What does it have to do with your sister?”

Under immense pressure, Lin Xiangdong finally gave in and said, “Yes, he did, but they broke up.”

Lin Father frowned: “How did they break up?”

Although Lin Xiangdong didn’t want to speak ill of Lin Luoluo, it was clear to an outsider that Gu Beicheng and Zhang Qiu broke up shortly after Lin Luoluo transferred schools. There had seemingly been no conflict between them; they were an enviable ‘fairy-tale couple’ at school.

He dodged the question: “That’s their business, I don’t know.” But his awkward expression had already given his father away. Lin Father said directly, “Does it have anything to do with Luoluo?”

Lin Xiangdong threw caution to the wind: “Since you’ve already guessed, why ask me?”

“Lin Xiangdong, is that how you talk to your father!” Tan Yi chastised her son from the side. “Is it so hard to answer a simple question?”

Lin Xiangdong lowered his head in shame. “I’m sorry.”

“That’s enough,” Lin Father persuaded. “Don’t make things difficult for him. He’s caught between his family and his friend; it’s hard enough.”

Lin Xiangdong gratefully lifted his head, only to hear his father’s immediate sharp turn: “But concealing information requires punishment. I’m taking back your car.”

“Ah?!”

Lin Xiangdong’s face fell, but he knew this was already his father letting him off lightly. In the Lin family, nothing was more important than family. Even if a family member made a mistake, they would absolutely stand by their side.
