She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!

Chapter 367: Chapter 366: Victims Behind the Holographic Reality Show, Part 19

”Guiyun, are you okay?” Wei Jun asked his eldest nephew, patting He Guiyun on the shoulder, ”As long as you’re fine.”

He Guiyun shook his head, feeling a bit disillusioned and unable to snap back to reality for a moment.

Originally, he was a carefree young master, able to hang on until the good days in the first world thanks to the prompts in his mind and help from the audience.

In the second virtual world, he initially carried some of the naivety from the first apocalypse, but reality soon taught him a lesson. As an ordinary person without any special advantages, he was no different from others and could only survive cautiously.

As soon as Yun Rou woke up and saw Lu Yu, she knew it was over.

Even though her reaction was the most normal, Lu Yu harbored a barrier because of this, and it seemed impossible. She bit her lip lightly, feeling a bit unwilling.

”Lu Yu.” She called out, in the first virtual world, they were together from start to finish, wondering if the time spent together meant anything to him.

Lu Yu responded indifferently: ”Mm.”

Just this attitude made Yun Rou realize, it was impossible.

Indeed, it was impossible. It was a virtual world where everything was fake. They never started anything, and Lu Yu, more so, had no right to blame Yun Rou for her choice. However, he could choose not to have any ties with her in the real world.

What moved him was the first world, where Yun Rou never gave up on him and was always gentle and considerate towards him.

Obviously, that was due to the prompts and the help from the audience later on. Everything went smoothly, and they never showed their true selves.

He couldn’t accept all of Yun Rou’s facets, obviously wasn’t that fond, so there was no need for entanglement, not good for anyone.

If possible, Yun Rou naturally wouldn’t mind these.

Lu Yu was the heir of the Lu Family, and she just let the opportunity slip away like that. In the second virtual world, if she hadn’t given up on Lu Yu and got caught by him, they could have continued.

Alas, there were no ifs, and Yun Rou was full of regret.

She had always envied Bei Chen, who was smart, beautiful, and had many pursuers, and among them, many were of high quality.

Her intelligence wasn’t low either, otherwise, she wouldn’t be in the same school as Bei Chen, or even her roommate.

But still, she fell well short of Bei Chen.

She wasn’t unattractive, but standing beside Bei Chen, she paled in comparison.

The only thing she had over her was a happy family, while Bei Chen was raised in an orphanage.

But soon this advantage faded as well. Once, she heard Bei Chen was going back to the orphanage to celebrate a festival with the kids, and for some reason, she wanted to go along to have a look and even asked everyone in their dorm to join.

As a result, Bei Chen not only agreed readily, but also sincerely thanked them for helping the kids celebrate the festival.

This was the part that should be the hardest for Bei Chen to talk about. How could such a glamorous person be so candid when others brought it up?

When she was little, not having new shoes as soon as her classmates did would embarrass her.

Why didn’t Bei Chen feel the same?

At the orphanage, seeing the children happily surrounding Bei Chen, she realized that because of Bei Chen, the kids there were doing well.

Yes, she was envious of Bei Chen.

But again, she knew she shouldn’t envy such a person, yet she couldn’t control it.

On the surface, her relationship with Bei Chen wasn’t bad.

She never truly did anything, but thought a lot in her mind, occasionally talking with Bei Chen about those admirers, and feeling jealousy and envy when knowing the latter had no interest and rejected them, while also feeling secretly glad and vindicated, agreeing verbally with Bei Chen’s choices.

In public, she put on an air of aloofness, showing disdain for those rich young men.

Yet deep down, she was immensely envious, often fantasizing about being Bei Chen, so smart, beautiful, and popular.

In the second virtual world, when Lu Yu suggested having dinner with her, she instinctively glanced at Bei Chen, finding the latter didn’t care at all, which left her feeling powerless. But Lu Yu was a desirable man, the best among all male guests, and his choice of her meant she had won over Bei Chen once.

Unexpectedly, it turned out this way.

Afterwards, upon learning of Wen Chulin’s plan, she felt regret deep down. If Wen Chulin’s schemes had succeeded... she thought wickedly, quickly snapping out of it, feeling contempt for her own thoughts.

Ah Chen noticed Yun Rou’s look but didn’t pay much attention.

The commissioner’s first wish had already been fulfilled, letting everyone taste that feeling.

Because it had been fulfilled, Yun Rou and Lu Yu couldn’t be together anymore. In that existence, due to the virtual apocalyptic experiences, Lu Yu and Yun Rou ended up together. As for what happened afterwards, the commissioner didn’t notice much, nor did they have that much of a feud.

Of course, the commissioner was somewhat disappointed in Yun Rou.

The two had always been considered good friends in the eyes of others, at least the commissioner viewed her as such. She entered this show because of the commissioner, after all.

In the setting of the virtual world, her relationship with Yun Rou didn’t change. They were still roommates and good friends.

Even inside, with no reminders from the other side, just watching with open eyes, they could even use the virtual world to save face a bit.

But after coming out?

Yun Rou never brought it up, watching as her career and reputation crumbled, looking at her with a complex gaze as if questioning, ”How could you be such a person?” Ridiculous. In the dorm, calling Lu Yu to set up dates, always raising her voice, clearly wanting to provoke the commissioner.

But the commissioner didn’t care at all, what did it have to do with her.

At the time, she didn’t know the truth yet, felt a bit sad about Yun Rou distancing herself, but since the latter couldn’t understand her actions in the virtual world, so be it.

Finding out about it at all was thanks to Wen Chulin, who in frustration, unable to corner her, angrily revealed it.

Such a thing, how could others tell her, fearing she might make a scene about it, which would definitely harm their reputation, no one could be that foolish. Besides, apart from Yun Rou and the commissioner being close, others weren’t close, not even familiar with her. What she was like had little to do with them, not worth risking for her.

So, let everyone experience her feelings, she wasn’t the kind of person to be magnanimous.

As soon as the guests woke up, the show immediately announced it, and after examinations confirmed they were physically unharmed, they assured the audience of their well-being.

The Wen Family, however, got busy. With such a significant accident, they couldn’t continue promoting this technology; there was much to be done.

Once assured of their safety, the guests left the program venue individually.

Ah Chen had just walked out the door when Yun Rou followed, although there was nothing with Lu Yu anymore, her relationship with Bei Chen in both virtual worlds remained free of conflict.

So, she and Bei Chen were still good friends.

”It’s surprising, you always turned into a zombie,” Yun Rou came up, taking Ah Chen’s arm, ”I’ve never turned into a zombie, don’t know what it feels like.”

Ah Chen smiled: ”It’s easy to twist off a person’s head.” As the words fell, Wen Chulin, just stepping out, instinctively touched his neck, ”See, Junior Wen still remembers it vividly.”

Wen Chulin took a deep breath, asking sadly: ”Senior, do you hate me that much?”

Ah Chen nodded seriously: ”Mm-hmm.”

”If you twist off your own head for me to play with, I’d change my view of you, would you be willing?”
