The female supporting character, yet a charmer to everyone

Chapter 4 - substitute romance 04



The young lady who brought them here left.

The door to the office opened suddenly, and Yu Huan thought the young lady had returned. She looked up to see a tall, slender figure.

The suit was well-tailored, and the straight corners of the lips revealed the coldness of someone who had not yet left the working environment.

The deep eyes reflected the young girl’s figure, and like melting ice, they magically softened in an instant.

Only Yu Huan and the system could not tell.

Before coming, Yu Huan had prepared herself to be embarrassed and left hanging. The plot provided by the system was almost written that way.

But the reality was very different from the plot.

Qin Yunye did not go to work carelessly, but sat down on the sofa next to her.

Yu Huan, who had thought that she was only here for a water trip, didn’t know where to look and was a little restless.

Qin Yunye laughed, her voice deep and pleasant. You always say you have a lot to tell me, but now you don’t?

That was when Yu Huan sent the message, relying on the male lead not paying much attention to her to engage in a conversation. Little did she know that it would be dug up at that moment.

She felt in her heart that Qin Yunye was annoyed with her and was playing mind games with her.

The current scene was truly like sitting on pins and needles. Yu Huan pretended not to have heard and started talking with a cheeky face.

She was talking about the popular gossip in the school, because she had studied it for several nights with her roommates and understood it thoroughly, so she could talk about it right away and give a long list without pausing.

Usually when she sends a message, all her thoughts and expressions are reflected in the text, which is implicit and restrained.

Face-to-face communication is very different. The collision of eyes, body language and even breathing reflects the emotions of the people involved, sharply and directly.

It’s really wonderful to be able to post several pages of comments on a school forum. As Yu Huan spoke, she actually became emotionally involved.

She gestured with her fingers, and when she got to the key points, she deliberately held back the tension and let Qin Yunye guess.

Qin Yunye cooperated by making questioning noises or uttering ‘oh’.

The little girl was full of energy and emotion, chattering away like a little bird. The vitality and infectious energy that came from her made Qin Yunye’s lips curl slightly, and topics that she didn’t pay much attention to became a little more interesting to her because of the little girl’s narration.

Time seemed to have been enchanted, and before he knew it, it was already noon. The assistant knocked on the door and asked Qin Yunye if he wanted to eat.

Yu Huan had just finished the last of the Portuguese egg tarts and was licking the crumbs from the corner of her mouth when she suddenly snapped back to reality.

She had just spent the whole morning chatting with Qin Yunye?

And had she eaten all the snacks on the table?

Had Qin Yunye poisoned her inside? Otherwise, why didn’t he kill her?

After Qin Yunye finished explaining to his assistant, he turned around. The little girl, not knowing what had shocked her, turned back into a shy quail and looked at him suspiciously.

‘It’s noon, let’s go eat?’ Qin Yunye asked in a soft voice.

The little quail walked over to him without saying a word, cautious and careful.

Qin Yunye wanted to stroke her head to make her less nervous, but he pinched his fingers instead. This contradicted his earlier attitude and was not very appropriate.

He opened the door and let Yu Huan out first.

As they passed each other, a slight but not insignificant force came from above and Yu Huan froze.

Your hair is standing on end,” Qin Yunye explained, but the slight smile in his eyes did not hide the fact that he did not seem to care whether Yu Huan believed him or not.

Yu Huan was confused, and so was the system.

The place to eat was a western restaurant that Qin Yunye had booked in advance. As soon as they were seated, the desserts, drinks and food were brought out one by one.

She wasn’t asked if she liked it or not, nor was she asked about her preferences.

Yu Huan looked at the table of dishes and suddenly understood in a flash!

Qin Yunye’s unusual behaviour this morning was all due to the effect of her face.

No wonder he kept looking at her and stroking her head… It turned out that he was using them to reminisce about the female lead. The snacks in the office and the dishes in the restaurant should all be the female lead’s favourites.

You are a genius,” the system exclaimed in awe and admiration of Yu Huan’s brain.

Yu Huan replied, ‘I just thought of it.

Although it hadn’t been specially prepared for her, Yu Huan wasn’t fussy about food, and she was satisfied after a satisfying meal. In the end, she wondered how her tastes were so similar to those of the female lead.

Qin Yunye lowered his gaze and checked the note recording the young girl’s preferences to make sure there was nothing she disliked before settling down to watch the young girl eat.

She didn’t eat like a lady, with stiff limbs and attention to detail.

She used knife and fork skilfully, took firm bites and chewed thoroughly. Her cheeks occasionally puffed up, but she digested the food quickly, making people hungry just by watching her.

At that moment, she relaxed again, no longer the little quail, but a greedy little girl.

Qin Yunye drove her back to the school.

When they arrived, Yu Huan thanked him as she opened the door and got out, then closed the door and ran away.

A splash of bright yellow stood out on the black leather seat. Qin Yunye reached out and picked it up – it was the case for a small yellow duck headset.

It was bright and fresh and obviously belonged to the little girl.

Qin Yunye closed his palm and the corner of his lips lifted slightly. This was a reason to meet again.

He looked up and saw the little girl’s back as she walked into the school, and the smile on his face suddenly stiffened.

In the distance, the little girl was chatting with a boy who had appeared out of nowhere. They walked side by side towards the human-shaped door at the entrance of the school, their youthful and energetic backs looking very compatible.

Yu Huan never expected to run into Chen Yinong, the young man working the cash register at the fish restaurant, when she returned to school.

Do you work there part-time? Yu Huan asked curiously.

‘Sort of, but it’s my uncle’s restaurant, so it’s more casual,’ Chen Yinong said with a smile, a dimple on her right cheek.

The food was really good, even the roommates who don’t like spicy food had two bowls of rice! Yu Huan couldn’t help but praise.

I’ll tell my uncle when I get back, he’ll definitely regret not giving you a discount,’ Chen Yinong laughed.

Just as they were talking, Yu Huan suddenly heard someone calling her name.

She turned to see Qin Yunye lowering the window. She couldn’t see his expression clearly, but she saw a long, slender hand reaching out to her, fingers wiggling.

I’ll go over there for a while,’ Yu Huan said, greeting Chen Yinong, then came back and asked, ‘What’s wrong?

Qin Yunye held out her hand, the palm of her hand holding her earphone case.

“Oh, I forgot to put it in my bag!” Yu Huan said in surprise and took it. ‘Thank you.’

Qin Yunye looked at her receding back, his expression inscrutable, a not-so-pleasant aura surrounding him.

He could easily get whatever he wanted. But the little girl’s love was not one of them.

It was pure and positive, full of enthusiasm, and her naked love could drown a person. He enjoyed the feeling of the little girl letting him into her heart, so he held back and guided her gently.

But his relaxation did not include the appearance of other people around them.

A silent sense of crisis arose, and Qin Yunye’s fingers tapped on the steering wheel from time to time, the dull sound emphasising a sense of danger.

Qin Yunye, who had originally planned to proceed step by step, could no longer wait.
