Supporting Actress

Chapter 27

Liu Shimei followed Doo Min-jun to the school gate. She met many students along the way, but everyone knew that she was Professor Du's assistant a few days ago, so they just looked at her curiously and didn't find it strange.

Liu Shimei was thinking along the way. Why did Doo Min-jun suddenly change his mind and want to send her home?

There must be a reason.

Don't say that it was because she was beautiful or something. It wasn't like she could change her face. It wasn't like she had only been like this for a day or two. Before, his attitude was very cold. It didn't make sense that he suddenly realized her beauty. It couldn't be any more ridiculous.

In any case, it was good to be able to get close to him. She couldn't think of a reason, so she could only comfort herself.

Doo Min-jun was also very surprised that he could meddle in other people's business. However, he was only surprised. There was no annoyance or rejection. After living on Earth for so long, his state of mind had gradually changed from the initial novelty and anxiety to a calm and stable state. He had a calm and accepting attitude towards the future.

Liu Shimei's appearance was an accident, but it wasn't necessarily a terrible accident. Who could say for sure what would happen in the future?

Therefore, if he had a good impression of her, then he had a good impression of her. He didn't want to waste time suppressing his feelings. These feelings might fade away with time, but if they didn't, it didn't matter if they became stronger and stronger. It was just like liking her. He had experienced life and death, so why should he be afraid of love that hadn't come yet?

Let's not talk about the two of them having different thoughts. When Liu Shimei saw Doo Min-jun push the bicycle out of the shed, her expression was a bit …

Emmm, of course she knew that it was the professor's mount. But was he going to ride this to send a girl home?

Wouldn't it be too chic?

And most importantly, it didn't have a backseat.

Now that's awkward! (//_/)/

Doo Min-jun didn't seem to see her honeyed expression. He calmly put one hand on the handlebars and explained, "I'll ride this. You take a taxi."

Going back to their own homes? How was this sending her home?

At the same time, Liu Shimei felt disappointed. Originally, it was rare for Doo Min-jun to take the initiative. She thought that they could be alone, but it turned out that she thought too much.

She pouted and glanced at him. She still didn't give up.

"… I'm hungry. Why don't we eat something before going home?"

When she said this, she was prepared to be rejected... but she didn't expect Doo Min-jun to nod and say, "Okay, let's go to the pork chop shop across the street."

Not only did he agree to have dinner together, but he even booked a restaurant. Liu Shimei was really surprised.

So, what had Mr. Dou Minjun experienced since she woke up?

It was so abnormal that she was a little scared?

Wasn't he unable to eat eat at the same table?

She remembered that the original plot had mentioned that he would have a fever if mixed with human saliva.

Liu Shimei was the one who suggested eating, but in the end, she listlessly followed Doo Min-jun into the pork chop shop.

It was already past lunchtime and there was still some time before dinner, so there weren't many customers in the shop. The row of seats by the window was empty. The afternoon sun shone on the smooth table, reflecting the bright light.

Doo Min-jun found a corner seat and pulled out a chair for her like a gentleman.

"Thank you." Liu Shimei stopped looking around and sat down gently.

"What do you want to eat? Order yourself." Doo Min-jun pushed the menu in front of her and said gently.

He never ate outside, so it was his first time here. He heard about it from his colleagues in the office.

Liu Shimei put aside the things she couldn't figure out for the time being. She took the menu and flipped it open. It wasn't a traditional line of words on the menu. Instead, it was a picture with the names of the dishes printed below. The exquisite dishes looked particularly appetizing.

"I want a plate of pan-fried pork ribs and a plate of Borscht."

The menu indicated that the main dish was the complimentary rice. Liu Shimei returned the menu to Dou Minjun. "That's all I want. You can order whatever you want."

Doo Min-jun looked down at the menu in front of him and subconsciously wanted to refuse. However, when he looked up and met her clear and obedient eyes, he swallowed the words. He closed the menu and turned to the waiter next to him. "Same."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The waiter nodded and turned to the kitchen.

Waiting for the dishes to be served was extremely boring. Liu Shimei took out her phone and scrolled through Instagram. Chun Song-il's drama was currently on air. As usual, it was at the top of the trending list, making it hard for people to ignore it.

She flipped through it and found it boring, so she took two pictures out of the window and posted it online.

"I'm done, I'm waiting for the delicious pork ribs. [Starry eyes]"

After nearly five minutes, she refreshed the page and saw that there were already more than ten replies.

"I finally waited for you, my new little goddess. Eat more and take care of yourself ~"

"Baby Songyi's new drama is on air. Why didn't you promote it for her?"

"Why didn't you take a picture with Songyi? I'm not happy. I'm envious of your friendship. It must last forever."

"I saw you and the professor leaving together after class. Don't tell me you guys are eating together?

Sigh, how can you be so sweet? Don't force me to be a couple T _ T "

Seeing this interesting reply, Liu Shimei couldn't help but chuckle.

"What are you looking at?"

A calm voice suddenly sounded. She looked up with a smile that hadn't faded from the corner of her mouth. Her eyes were watery and inexplicably moving. "Hmm?"

What a beautiful smile. Doo Min-jun's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but smile.

The faint smile disappeared in an instant. Liu Shimei's eyes widened. "Professor, you … you just smiled?"

It was just a smile. Was there a need to be so surprised?

Perhaps her silly look pleased him. Doo Min-jun's eyes were filled with a smile again. It was rare for him to joke. "What's wrong?

Why are you so surprised? Are you fascinated? "

The cold professor actually knew how to joke. This was a rare moment. Liu Shimei quickly seized the opportunity and answered without hesitation, "Yes, I'm fascinated."

This was no different from a confession. Doo Min-jun was slightly stunned. The ambiguous atmosphere circulated in their eyes.

That girl was so cute. She was so frank and straightforward that it made people's hearts pound.

His intuition told him that as long as he said something at this moment, their relationship would change. As if he was bewitched, he opened his mouth slightly and was about to blurt out the words in his heart. Unexpectedly, he was interrupted by the waiter who served the dishes.

The waiter, who didn't have the awareness to interrupt the confession, put down the pork chop and soup and said with a smile, "Please enjoy."

The originally good atmosphere was completely destroyed. The most appropriate time had been missed. After a moment of impulse, he wasn't an impatient person. He quickly calmed down.

He still couldn't completely confirm her feelings. He also needed time to sort out his emotions.

Take it slow. There was no rush.

Liu Shimei lowered her head to eat. Doo Min-jun also casually tasted a small piece of pork chop. Borscht didn't touch it at all.

He had lived alone for many years. He was already not used to having too much contact with humans. But today, eating at the same table as Liu Shimei, not only did he not feel uncomfortable or repulsed, he even felt a little subtle joy.
