Supporting Actress

Chapter 24

"Hello everyone, I'm the new teaching assistant, Liu Shimei."

Liu Shimei stood on the podium and introduced herself with a smile. She was used to being in front of the camera, so she was natural and unrestrained. However, from Doo Min-jun's angle, he happened to see that her fingers hanging by her side were tightly clenched together.

She was obviously nervous to death, but she pretended as if nothing had happened. Her acting skills were quite good. He turned his head away and no longer looked at her.

"Okay, let's start taking attendance."

Liu Shimei subconsciously glanced at Doo Min-jun, then opened the name list and read out the name, "Zhang Chengxun …"

She didn't know if it was because of the arrival of a beautiful young lady, but the male students were particularly active today. Even when they answered "Yes", their voices were loud and clear. There were a few times when she was caught off guard, causing everyone to laugh and Liu Shimei's cheeks to turn slightly red with embarrassment.

In the end, Doo Min-jun couldn't stand it anymore. He coughed twice and successfully quieted the classroom. He took the name list from Liu Shimei and frowned slightly. "Since everyone is so active, you must have completed the assigned papers well. Since that's the case, I won't take attendance. Line up and hand in your papers."

Before he finished speaking, there was a wave of howls from below. Liu Shimei turned to look at Min Jun gratefully, but he was expressionless. He looked as if he was saying, "I'm not trying to help you out, I'm just trying to maintain order in the classroom."

Even so, she still whispered a "thank you". Then, while the students were lining up to hand in their papers, she slipped to an empty seat at the back door as previously agreed.

Doo Min-jun looked at her back, which she thought no one was paying attention to, and was too lazy to even complain.

Teaching assistant? She's just a cowardly and stupid rabbit.

The class quickly passed, and during this period, no one secretly skipped class. Liu Shimei stretched slightly and was about to get up and leave when the boys she met in the cafeteria at noon came over. There were a few unfamiliar faces.

It wasn't that Liu Shimei wasn't good at dealing with people. When she was a prosecutor in the past, she could handle the sharpest questions with ease, not to mention dealing with a few boys who hadn't graduated from school yet. However, she had her own principles and tried her best not to interact with boys other than the male protagonist. At this time, she felt very helpless.

Doo Min-jun, who was still standing on the podium, looked at Liu Shimei from afar. His eyesight was not inferior to an eagle's, so he could clearly see her slightly furrowed eyebrows. He could not help but feel a little impatient.

The stupid rabbit was brought here by him, so he couldn't just leave her here. With this thought in mind, he held the lesson plan in one hand and turned his head to shout, "Liu Shimei Xi, come here."

His voice was not loud, but his authority was there. The boys immediately shut their mouths. Liu Shimei was also stunned for a moment before she quickly walked towards him.

Seeing her come over, Doo Min-jun no longer waited in the same place and turned to leave first.

He didn't speak along the way, making Liu Shimei think that she had done something wrong to offend him. She carefully peeked at his face several times, but couldn't figure out why.

So, what was the matter with the male protagonist's intermittent strange temper?

She just felt her head hurt.

Doo Min-jun had already seen her small movements. It was rare for him to sigh in his heart. He actually thought that she was easy to deal with. Alas, he really didn't know where the Academic Affairs Director found such a brainless guy for him.

Back in the office, Doo Min-jun unceremoniously threw the list to her. The meaning was self-evident. He wanted her to write down the names of the students who were absent and deduct points one by one.

Don't underestimate these points. It was very likely that in the end-of-year exam, because of these points, they would fail the exam again. Because of this, Liu Shimei was particularly attentive.

Looking at her pursed lips and serious appearance, Doo Min-jun's depression in his chest was finally relieved. He also began to sort out the papers in order. With her current ability, he was afraid that she wouldn't be able to review them. He also didn't feel at ease leaving them to her.

In this way, a week passed peacefully. Although Doo Min-jun occasionally still revealed a look like he was looking at an idiot, fortunately, he didn't speak ill of her. Liu Shimei felt very happy. That's right, she had now been reduced to the point where she would be very satisfied if the male protagonist gave her a little face. Thinking about it, she also felt sad.

Just as she was immersed in the infinite loop of "roll call – watch the door – study the script", an uninvited guest broke the peace.

Chun Song-il was here!

The whole school was in an uproar, clamoring for autographs and photos. From the office on the third floor, Liu Shimei saw that the school gate was completely surrounded by paparazzi and students. She clicked her tongue twice in envy, then continued to study her character.

Ever since she was kicked out of the cast by the director when she transmigrated, she hadn't contacted Chun Song-il. At this time, she came over to denounce her. She couldn't think of any other reason. In any case, sooner or later, she would have to make things clear. Being an actress was her job. She didn't want to be cannon fodder for the rest of her life.

While she was still leisurely taking notes, Chun Song-il had already broken free from the layers of encirclement. She ran directly to Liu Shimei's office and flashed in without knocking.

"Songyi, you're here." Liu Shimei raised her head, her expression as usual.

"What are you doing here?"

Chun Song-il took off her sunglasses and frowned. "I've already told the director. He's just waiting for you. Why aren't you coming with me?"

Chun Song-il said as she tried to pull her, but Liu Shimei twisted her body and avoided her. She smiled and said casually, "Forget it. I don't like that role anyway. I've played enough supporting roles."

"What?"

Chun Song-il looked at her empty hand and heard her ruthless rejection. She immediately became angry. "What nonsense are you talking about?

Do you know that I quarreled with the director over this?

You're still angry. If it weren't for the fact that I wanted to film with you, would I have to be so humble? "

In Chun Song-il's impression, Liu Shimei's personality had always been very obedient. She would listen to whatever she was told, so every time she acted, she would bring her along and try to get the director to arrange a role for her. Even if it was a small supporting role, as long as the two of them could be in the same crew, she would be very happy.

It was a pity that she had never thought about it from Liu Shimei's perspective. Her best friend was the main character in the limelight, while she was always an inconspicuous supporting character beside her. She debuted as a child star in the same year, and they had both been in the industry for more than ten years. One was high above the masses, and the other was so lowly that she could even step on the director's assistant. Anyone would feel that it was unfair, not to mention that because she was Qian Songyi's friend, she had been mocked both openly and secretly for hugging her thigh.

Thinking about the experiences of the original owner, Liu Shimei was really irritated to the extreme.

She tried to suppress her anger as she closed the notes and looked up with a sneer.

"So?

Should I go back with you obediently, apologize to the director, and apologize to all the irrelevant people, and say that because of me, I wasted everyone's time? "

The current Liu Shimei was too different from the gentle and soft-spoken Liu Shimei in her memory. Chun Song-il couldn't help but be stunned.

"Sorry, I don't want to do that anymore."

Liu Shimei paused. Ignoring her expression, she continued, "I also have my own pride. Songyi, I really don't want people to say that I only rely on the charity of my friends to survive. I'm the same as you. I'm already 25 years old. I also want to have my own work and my own fans. So, I won't take on those minor roles anymore."

"Thank you for coming here to find me today, but I'm sorry."

Liu Shimei stared at Chun Song-il. The corners of her eyes were red because of excitement, and her beautiful big eyes were unconsciously filled with tears.
