Supporting Actress

Chapter 28

When a variable appeared in one's life, one's fate would change accordingly. Liu Shimei was the variable in Doo Min-jun's long life.

He couldn't figure out her thoughts, but he could feel that she didn't dislike him, so he began to approach her intentionally or unintentionally.

In the next two months, Doo Min-jun increased the frequency of him appearing around her. Although he still didn't speak much, he couldn't help but have a gentle attitude towards her, which showed that he treated her differently.

Liu Shimei was the first girl he liked in four hundred years, so she naturally accepted all his gentleness.

After all, he taught psychology. Perhaps it was an occupational disease, but he often looked at her with an observational gaze. Slowly, he figured out her temperament and nature, and found that she was really a very simple girl.

At the beginning of her debut, she played a small role for more than ten years, and experienced a long period of anonymity. It was rare that she wasn't tainted by the entertainment industry that held the strong and stepped on the weak. She was neither fawning nor impatient, and was as clear as water.

It was rare to be able to maintain this kind of innocence without growing older.

Although he liked to call her a stupid rabbit in his heart, it wasn't derogatory. He admired her character very much. She was sensible and didn't cause any accidents, which was the most enviable state.

The more you know, the more you like people like her.

Liu Shimei was still busy filming. There was no other way. The crew was too poor, and the equipment and venue were only rented for three months. In order to not exceed the deadline, they had to speed up the process. All the staff and actors were busy.

At first, the director was very expectant of Liu Shimei, because he knew that the rumors were false and that she had been smeared a lot by people in the industry.

Fortunately, she didn't let him down. In terms of the role, whether it was the kind and harmless early on or the outburst later on, her performance was amazing.

The actors in the crew got along well, and there was no scheming between the big names. The filming went smoothly, and the director was happy. He promised that if the box office was a hit, he would invite everyone to go on a group trip.

The movie had just finished filming, and no one knew what would happen after it was released. However, the director's words undoubtedly encouraged everyone. No matter what the result was, they still had to have hope. What if their wish came true?

During this period, Chun Song-il didn't contact Liu Shimei once, but Li Huijing called twice to ask if they were at odds. He asked her to say a few words to make up with Chun Song-il, but she said, "I don't owe her anything, so why should I give in first?".

In the end, Liu Shimei still felt that it was not worth it for the original owner. In the original plot, after the original confessed her feelings, Li Huijing actually said, "We can't be friends in the future". Fifteen years of friendship couldn't even compare to Chun Song-il's finger.. Why should she be nice to such a heart-breaking guy?

After recording her own lines and dubbing, the post-production of "Black and White" had nothing to do with her anymore. On one hand, she was happy because she had finished filming, but on the other hand, she was worried that it would be difficult to see Dou Minjun again in the future.

Therefore, Liu Shimei seemed to be in low spirits these days.

Coincidentally, Doo Min-jun, who was planning to win Liu Shimei's heart, didn't know that he was also her's's' target, so he couldn't guess why she was in a bad mood. He only thought that she was reluctant to leave the crew.

The sadness of parting could only be adjusted by herself. No one else could help her, so he didn't comfort her.

In this way, they guessed each other's thoughts, and the day of their departure arrived. Doo Min-jun's's' lukewarm 'attitude made Liu Shimei anxious. Three months had made their's' relationship a lot closer, but it was definitely not to this extent.

Before leaving, there must be a turning point in their relationship. If there was no other way, she could only confess first. It was better to chase after him than to drag it out now.

With this thought in mind, Liu Shimei found Doo Min-jun and mustered up the courage to ask him to take her home.

Doo Min-jun obviously didn't ask a silly question like "where's your van?" and agreed readily. He even took a leave of absence for this reason. This was the first time he took a leave of absence for personal reasons since he became a professor at Mingren University.

The girl took the initiative to approach him. Doo Min-jun was in a good mood, but his face was still calm. He simply packed up his documents and walked out of the university gate with Liu Shimei to a nearby parking lot.

Ever since last time, Doo Min-jun gave up riding his bike to work and switched to driving his Mercedes-Benz, which he hadn't driven in a long time.

After all, he was a man with assets that could buy half of Seoul. If it weren't for the fact that he usually kept a low profile, it wouldn't be a problem for him to have eight or ten luxury cars.

They didn't speak along the way until Doo Min-jun opened the car door. Liu Shimei pulled on the corner of his shirt.

Doo Min-jun turned his head in confusion.

"Doo Min-jun xi …" She didn't speak and her cheeks turned red. She shyly pursed her lips and looked into his eyes again. Her fingers trembled nervously, but her eyes were unprecedentedly firm, "I like you."

How does it feel to be confessed to by a girl you like?

At that moment, it was as if the whole world had been frozen. Only the sound of his heartbeat could be heard clearly. Thump … thump …

After a long silence, he finally recovered his senses. His throat was extremely dry. He couldn't believe his ears. He was afraid that he had misheard and had to confirm again, "What?"

How could he not hear clearly when they were so close?

She was going to be rejected. Liu Shimei's heart sank. She took a deep breath and repeated in a low voice, "I said … I like you. I want to be with you …"

Her voice became lower and lower until the last two words were almost inaudible. Her fingers that were tightly gripping the corner of his shirt slowly loosened.

Yes, he didn't hear wrong. He was indeed being confessed to. With the buffer from before, he wasn't so excited. He raised his hand and held her hand tightly. His usually indifferent voice was a bit hoarse, "Can't you feel it?"

"What?" This time, it was Liu Shimei's turn to be surprised.

"I like you too."

There was a deep smile in his eyes, which was a perfect contrast to his cold temperament. It was so good that people couldn't take their eyes off him.

There was nothing more beautiful than this in the world. When I like you, you like me too.

Therefore, the one-way pursuit that he had made up his mind eventually turned into a two-way confession.

A huge surprise hit Liu Shimei's head without warning. While she was dizzy, she recalled bits and pieces of the two since they met. Sure enough, she found some clues that the professor liked her too. But because he was too cold, she subconsciously ignored it.

In the fourth century since Doo Min-jun came to Earth, he finally met love and gained a little girlfriend. Congratulations.

"Get in the car. I'll take you home." Doo Min-jun let go of her hand and touched her long hair.

Liu Shimei shyly lowered her head and quickly walked to the other side of the car. She bent down and got in. Just as she was about to fasten her seatbelt, Doo Min-jun stopped her. She couldn't help but look at him in confusion.

"Isn't this how couples do it?"

Dou Minjun smiled and stretched out his arm to pull the seat belt of the front passenger seat. Because of his posture, her whole body was almost wrapped in his arms. Her nose was filled with the light fragrance of his body, and she had the illusion of falling into the clouds.

It was clearly an old trope in romance dramas, but suddenly being treated like this by the man she liked made her heart beat faster uncontrollably.

Doo Min-jun, with his fresh face and old-fashioned heart, finally learned how to flirt in front of the person he liked.
