I Refuse to be a Supporting Character

When Gu Jin woke up again, it was in her junior year.

Unlike last time, her rebirth this time around was more than two months ahead of schedule.

Even after three days, Gu Jin was still baffled. It was truly a dream to have two rebirths.

But thats what happened.

She still had memories of her past life.

After her death, her soul didnt disappear, but rather, witnessed everyones ending. It turns out that when she was kidnapped, Shao Chong accompanied Cheng Xin during her childbirth at the hospital. Gu Jins deep anger and unwillingness caused the air to fluctuate. To her surprise, a whirlpool suddenly appeared and sucked her in.

The whirlpools energy was so powerful that it caused her soul to fall into a coma. When she awakened, she found that she had returned to the age of twenty, but before she could celebrate her rebirth, she discovered that her body was occupied by a foreign soul.

Right when she was about to compete for the right to use her body, the instability of her soul and body caused her to fall into a coma once again. The friction between body and two souls caused their memories to converge, almost overwhelming her.

Gu Jin woke up three months later and was shocked by the other persons memory. It turned out that the world she lived in was a novel whose female protagonist was Cheng Xin.

The general descriptions in the book were almost identical to her experiences, except for her death.

Gu Jins mood was a bit complicated. Especially after seeing that Gu Jin and Mu Mingchengs relationship, she lost her motivation to compete for this body.

So what if she takes her body back now? If she got it back, she wouldnt do so well in her state.

The other Gu Jin was also a kind girl. Not only did she feel remorse for taking over, she even thought of getting revenge on her behalf.

To be honest, if Gu Jin was reborn just now, she might shrink in cowardice before Cheng Xin and Shao Chong. Whats more, it seems that Shao Chong also experienced a rebirth somehow.

Although her feelings for him completely dissipated after she learned of events following her death, she wasnt sure if she could cut through the mess easily.

She recalled a voice that spoke to her in the dark: the man wished her a good ending and told her to do good at all times. Gu Jin thought she might have found the reason for her rebirth.

Wake up, Little Jin? Cheng Xin opened the door with a smile, but her expression soon collapsed. Oh, my God, why havent you got up yet?

She said in surprise, Were going to the amusement with Jing Hao today, have you forgotten?

Gu Jin looked at Cheng Xin with complicated emotions. She didnt enjoy going to these kinds of places, but she forced herself to go to make these two people happy.

But now, she didnt want to. Whether due to hate or dislike, after going through two lifetimes of being looked down on, she no longer wanted to live in resentment and unwillingness.

Gu Jin quietly looked down and replied, Sorry, I cant go today.

Dont be shy. Cheng Xin teasingly smiled and added: Are you shy because Shao Chong is there too?

Gu Jin raised her head, looked at her calmly, and retorted for the first time: I have nothing to do with him. He likes you, so dont try to pair him together with me in the future. The Literature Club has some errands for me so Im going to attend to it. You guys go and play.

Thats not true, the one he likes is you Cheng Xins voice trailed off and she couldnt look straight in Gu Jins direct stare. Alright, then Im off. Cheng Xin walked out in a daze, wondering why something didnt feel quite right. But she didnt think about it much, since she was going to hang out with Jing Hao.

It seems that saying No to Cheng Xin wasnt as difficult as Gu Jin thought. After imitating that other Gu Jins speech and tone of voice when turning her cousin down, the heavy burden in her heart was lifted.

Her happy mood stayed with her even after entering the conference room.

As the vice president, she was very close with Tong Lin. If her past self didnt care so much about him, the present her now felt uncomfortable knowing his thoughts.

She tried to adjust her breathing as she spoke with the club members, but she couldnt help but turn red when occasionally making eye contact with Tong Lin.

There was a certain history book that came to mind. The other Gu Jin didnt have any value for this book, but the present Gu Jin knew of its significance.

Back then, during the beginning of freshman year, she was at the library reading The History of the Ming Dynasty, when a boy with a soap fragrance walked up to the aisle and read out loud the name of the book with a smile. They exchanged a few words because of their similar hobbies, and Gu Jin spoke of her remorse for the collapse of Ming Dynasty.

This time, at the end of the meeting, Gu Jin still remained in her seat as if pondering something. Suddenly, she realized that she and Tong Lin were the only ones left in the room.

Gu Jin panicked for a moment and squeezed the bag in her hand.

Are you okay? Tong Lin asked in a plain voice, but the look of concern couldnt be concealed in his eyes.

Gu Jin was shocked.

Shes been brave once, so she can be brave once moreit shouldnt be too bad, right?

Under Tong Lins concerned stare, she whispered: President Tong Lin, I recall that you were also interested in the Ming Dynastys history. Can I ask you a few questions about it later?

Tong Lin was apparently surprised. Soon, his eyes brightened with a smile and he replied: Alright, theres a cafe nearby. Lets go there and talk about it.
