This Witch Transmigrated into the Romantic Novel's Supporting Role

Chapter 48

“What nonsense are you talking about? Chu Yang just has a weak stomach, can't you see how thin she is?” Jin Yang stood up and said, “What are you trying to do, spreading rumors in public like this?”

Chen Xixi: “I was just asking a question, if there's nothing then there's nothing, why are you overreacting so much? Could it be true?”

Jin Yang was furious, “You eternal second place, are you trying to get my Chu Yang sick so you can overtake her? My Chu Yang doesn't even have a boyfriend.”

Chen Xixi: “You! Humph! I won't argue with you.” Then she muttered, “Who said you have to have a boyfriend to get pregnant?”

Teacher: “Alright alright, Jin Yang, if Chu Yang isn't feeling well, you go with her to the infirmary. As for Chen Xixi, trouble comes from the mouth, don't you know what you should and shouldn't say? Careless words can turn into rumors and even hurt people's feelings. Everyone, think before you speak from now on. Studying well is the right path.”

Jin Yang accompanied Chu Yang out of the classroom, and the teacher continued the lesson.

Chen Xixi rolled her eyes and whispered to the person next to her: “The teacher is obviously biased.”

Her friend: “Come on, what you said wasn't nice either. And Chu Yang's face today is as pale as a ghost, anyone can see she's not feeling well.”

Chen Xixi, embarrassed: “I...I just blurted it out without thinking, okay? Besides, aren't there rumors that she's dating Chi Yan from the nearby B University?”

“Chi Yan?! Who said that?”

“My sister goes to B University, she said she saw them, Chi Yan is very close with a girl. My sister even took pictures, I've seen them, isn't that Chu Yang?”

“Maybe they're just friends.”

“Chi Yan has female friends?”

“Shh, stop talking, the teacher is looking over here.”

...

“That Chen Xixi is really something, she must be unhappy that you always score higher than her on exams.” Jin Yang grumbled angrily.

Chu Yang didn't want to talk, “Let’s go back to the dorm, I won't go to the infirmary.” What made her nauseous earlier was because the teacher’s photo reminded her of what she saw last night.

“Are you really okay?”

“I’m fine. I saw something disgusting last night.”

“Alright, what do you want to eat for lunch? I’ll bring it for you.”

Chu Yang thought for a moment, “Vegetable noodles, no meat at all. Oh right, it’ll rain at noon, remember to bring an umbrella.”

“Got it.”

After sending Chu Yang back to her dorm, Jin Yang went to class. There were still classes left, and she’d ask for leave on Chu Yang’s behalf.

In Chu Yang’s fan group:

Wei Feng: @Golden Sun Jin Yang, Chu Yang didn't post today’s weather forecast!

Jin Yang: It’ll rain at noon, remember your umbrella.

Wei Feng: Got it!

Wei Feng: Does the psychic have any other predictions? *hopeful emoji*

Jin Yang: No, Chu Yang isn’t feeling well today, don’t disturb her.

Wei Feng: *worried emoji* What happened to the psychic?

Jin Yang: Just not feeling well physically. Don't ask anymore.

Wei Feng: Oh.

This fan group was created by Wei Feng. Last time they had a meal together, he added Jin Yang and the other two's contacts, then created this group to keep in friendly touch.

Aside from Jin Yang's trio, there were also the nice brothers from the basketball game - Yuan Zhi, Chen Xihuan, Zhao Qingyun, Wu Huarong and around a dozen others.

But Chu Yang and Chi Yan weren't in this group.

On the other side, after Wei Feng found out Chu Yang wasn't feeling well, he poked Chi Yan who was sitting in front listening to class attentively: “Bro Chi Yan, Chu Yang isn't well today, want to go show your concern?”

Chi Yan immediately turned around, “How do you know?”

Wei Feng's eyes shifted around, “Didn’t I add her roommate on WeChat? She told me. It’s little Jin Yang.”

Chi Yan frowned. “Do you know what’s wrong with her?”

Wei Feng: “No idea, Jin Yang wouldn’t let me ask either. Maybe it’s a girl thing, aren’t they uncomfortable for a few days every month?”

Chi Yan turned back around without replying, but was thinking he’d go buy some things to visit her later. Then he suddenly remembered something and turned back again, “Give me Jin Yang’s WeChat ID.”

Wei Feng gave him an OK gesture.

On this end, after Chi Yan received the message from Wei Feng, he added Jin Yang on WeChat. Jin Yang was shocked when the message came in during class and her phone nearly fell to the ground. WTF! The campus heartthrob wants to add her on WeChat?

Jin Yang taps Accept, then cautiously asks: “Hello campus heartthrob Chi Yan, may I ask if something’s the matter?”

Chi Yan: “I heard Chu Yang isn’t feeling well today? How is she doing?”

Jin Yang immediately guessed it must’ve been that big mouth Wei Feng and gave a proper reply: “Last night while Chu Yang was working, she saw something and threw up badly in the bathroom several times. This morning she also had poor appetite and looked a bit pale. But Chu Yang said it’s nothing serious and took the day off to rest.”

Chi Yan: “I see, thanks.”

Now that he knew the reason, as soon as school ended, Chi Yan went to the supermarket to buy some fruit and milk, then headed to the place he took Chu Yang to eat last time. “Aunt Wen, can I get a red bean and peanut porridge to go please.”

“Sure!”

Later, carrying a bunch of things, Chi Yan rode his little sheep to the female dorms of A University after 1pm.

He WeChatted Chu Yang. Chu Yang wondered why he was calling her.

“Hello?”

Chi Yan: “I’m downstairs at your dorm.”

Chu Yang: ?

Chu Yang went downstairs and saw Chi Yan sitting on his little sheep, wearing a helmet, with things on his bike. Girls walking by would glance at him but he remained aloof.

Seeing her come out, he waved her over and handed her the packaged red bean porridge when she approached: “This is the red bean porridge I got Aunt Wen to pack. It nourishes the blood. It’s still hot. I heard you weren’t feeling well so I came to see you. I also bought fruit and milk.”

Chu Yang took the porridge, gave him a look. He seemed to have come in a hurry, slightly sweaty but it didn't diminish his looks.

Chu Yang suddenly asked: “Do you like me?”

Chi Yan was caught completely off guard by her abrupt and direct question. He froze up instantly.

Chu Yang could actually sense it. She’d never seen Chi Yan get close with any girl, other than her. Even with Jin Yang and the others he would keep a certain distance in normal interactions.

Chi Yan was stunned for a few seconds, his entire body stiff and rigid. Then starting from his neck, his whole face gradually turned red. Although he had a helmet on, Chu Yang could see clearly. She raised a brow, “Well? Having trouble answering?”

“No... no. Um.” Chi Yan handed her the fruit.

Chu Yang tilted her head. “Hm?”

Chi Yan felt himself start sweating as he blinked his long eyelashes like two little brushes. “Um... I, I like you.”

Chu Yang took the fruit and milk from him. “I’ll think about it. You go back first.”

With a wave of her hand, Chu Yang turned and walked into the dorm building.

Leaving Chi Yan standing there alone, utterly at a loss as he watched her back...
