I Obviously Just Want to be a Minor Character CH.8

Chapter 8: Women only hinder my growth

“Who’s that girl?”

“She’s so cute!”

“How come I didn’t know we had a girl like that in our school?”

The students on the field began to whisper amongst themselves, their expressions filled with excitement and arousal.

It wasn’t just the students. Even Ye Bai, who was smacking Su Ming, was full of excitement. His finger pointed forward, looking like a loser.

Su Ming looked in the direction Ye Bai was pointing at and instantly understood the emotions of the surrounding students.

When the girl suddenly appeared on the field, she also appeared in the hearts of many people.

She was a pretty girl who looked like a porcelain doll. One glance at her would make anyone feel good.

The girl wasn’t very tall, and her limbs were slim. Her long black hair that draped down to her waist swayed back and forth as she walked, the space around her seemed to be a beautiful painting.

At this moment, the girl was walking into the field with two other girls who seemed to be her roommates. They chatted as they walked, as if they were here for their morning exercise.

The reason why most people were staring at her was because of her smile. It was charming and very eye-catching, with dimples that reminded people of the little sister next door boys dreamed about.

Su Ming was sure the only thing the boys were thinking right now was:

“AWSL!.”

Ye Bai covered his heart and blurted out the words.

The other boys were also pierced by that invincible smile, covering their hearts one by one.

It wasn’t just the boys. Even the girls couldn’t take it.

“My god, is there really such a cute girl in this world?”

“My little sister is basically just here to make a living compared to her.”

“I want to hug her, pinch her face, and dress her up in cute clothes.”

“Let’s go greet her.”

As they spoke, many of the girls couldn’t hold back their hearts and ran towards the girl.

“Shall we go too?”

“No.”

“I don’t dare.”

“We just finished sweating so much. If we go over now, we’ll definitely smell bad.”

“Let’s go back and take a shower first.”

“Go, go, go.”

The boys looked at her with longing gazes but also had all sorts of reservations. Especially those rough men from the Hunter Division. Normally, they were all more gallant than the next they were acting like little girls, making Su Ming feel quite disgusted.

“Shall we… also go back and take a shower?”

Ye Bai grabbed Su Ming, his expression full of excitement and nervousness.

There was no doubt that this guy had also fallen.

“Wash your own damn hands. If you want to wash, go back and wash yourself.”

Su Ming slapped away Ye Bai’s hand in annoyance.

Although he could understand his friend’s feelings, Su Ming didn’t want to be a part of his foolishness.

Go back and take a shower? Why don’t you just blow dry your hair, do your makeup, and come back again?

“Who’s that girl? Why have I never seen her before?”

Ye Bai didn’t care about the question and instead looked at the lively girls, his expression filled with an “AWSL” expression.

“Who knows? Maybe she’s a new student!”

Su Ming couldn’t help but take a step away from Ye Bai, hoping no one would mistake him for being friends with this perverted guy.

At that moment, someone suddenly appeared beside them.

“I have some new information. Want to know?”

Lei Hao suddenly appeared with a sly smile on his face.

“What new information? Hurry up and tell me!”

Ye Bai’s attention was immediately drawn to him.

“This is some hard-to-get information I got from my senior sister.”

Lei Hao hinted at something.

“If you tell me, Brother Lei, I’ll pay for all your meals this week!”

Ye Bai became righteous and full of wealth.

“Okay! That’s very straightforward!”

Lei Hao didn’t waste time and began to explain.

“Her name is An Zijin. She’s seventeen years old, and she’s a new student like that brat Su Ming said. Her birthday is on May 4th, and her major is warlock. In other words, she’s the top student of the Warlock Division this year.”

As soon as Lei Hao finished speaking, Ye Bai became excited.

“She’s our school’s junior? Awesome!” Ye Bai clenched his fists and cried out in excitement, “Our Warlock Division finally has a school beauty who can compete with Xu Qianqian!”

That was right. Ye Bai had already taken An Zijin as the school beauty of the Warlock Division.

Of course, the Warlock Division wasn’t without beautiful female warlocks. There were plenty of pretty girls there, and there were even more than those in the Hunter Division.

Because warlocks awakened their spiritual bodies and could naturally generate spiritual energy, there were basically no ugly ones among them. Their skin was also especially fair, so it was obvious that they were born with talent.

Just look at Ye Bai. His entire body was fair and clean, and the other male warlocks were also similar. It would be extremely difficult to pick out a darker-skinned one.

Su Ming had also looked like a pretty boy in the past. He was more delicate than a woman, and he was adored by everyone at home. It wasn’t until he couldn’t stand his own puppy-like appearance that he spent a lot of effort on bodybuilding, exercising, and tanning himself to make himself look less feminine.

Even so, Su Ming had never been able to get any darker. His skin was still pale, and his looks were good. If not for his short legs, he could have debuted in Korea as an oppa.

And if even the boys were like this, it was easy to imagine how beautiful the girls in the Warlock Division were.

Unfortunately, there was Xu Qianqian in the Hunter Division.

Xu Qianqian’s halo was too bright, and she was even prettier than a fantasy. She was like a player who had activated all sorts of cheats; she alone was enough to surpass all the girls in the Academy, making all the beautiful seniors in the Warlock Division look like nothing.

Therefore, although there were many beauties in the Warlock Division, even more than in the Hunter Division, none of them could compare to Xu Qianqian.

Only today, with An Zijin’s appearance, did the Warlock Division finally see hope.

Su Ming recalled Xu Qianqian’s performance yesterday and felt his wrist begin to ache.

Thus, Su Ming also nodded heavily.

“Beat her! Beat that Xu Qianqian to a pulp!”

I, Su Ming, bet everything on An Zijin!

Unfortunately, Lei Hao refused to back down.

“An Zijin is indeed very cute, but that’s all she is. She’s nowhere near as good as our Xu Qianqian from the Hunter Division!”

Lei Hao insisted that his goddess was the most beautiful of them all and was invincible!

“Who said that?”

Ye Bai immediately shot back.

Two friends who had always been together in life and death now began to argue over their respective goddesses.

The scene was too filthy for Su Ming to be a part of it.

However…

“An Zijin?” Su Ming rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

For some reason, he felt like he had heard this name before.

But Su Ming didn’t think about it too much.

There were many people in this world with similar names.

Perhaps he had met someone with a similar name before, or even the same name.

“Ah, it doesn’t matter to me anyway. I’m just a minor character.”

Su Ming gave up on that thought.

It wasn’t that he didn’t like pretty girls; he was just very open-minded.

As he had said before, he was a man who would wait until he was invincible before stepping out into the world.

By then, wouldn’t he have any woman he wanted?

He was still developing. He had no power, no influence, and no money. If he really went to touch these so-called goddesses, wouldn’t he have to lick them to death?

And there was still a chance he wouldn’t even get to do that!

Instead of doing that, he might as well wait until he was awesome in the future before considering these matters of love.

By then, it wouldn’t be him licking up to others; others would be licking up to him.

As for right now…

“Women will only hinder my development.”

At the same time, on the other side of the field, An Zijin was surrounded by many people. She greeted her classmates and seniors with politeness while her phone rang.

“Sorry, seniors, I need to take a call.”

An Zijin’s smile with her dimples struck everyone present.

“Go on! Xiao Zijin!”

“Don’t mind us. We’re satisfied just watching you from here!”

“Remember to visit your seniors’ dorms later!”

“The seniors will treat you well!”

The seniors’ enthusiasm made An Zijin’s smile become a little forced.

Recalling how her roommates had also fawned over her every day, hugging and rubbing against her, changing her into all sorts of clothes, An Zijin almost wanted to flee.

She quickly excused herself and ran off to the side to take the call.

It was from An Zijin’s mother.

“Mom, you’re calling again?”

“No, it’s not that I’m complaining about you being too chatty, but if others find out you’re always calling me, they’ll think I’m a child who can’t live without my parents.”

“I know you’re worried I’ll get bullied here, but I’m really fine. My roommates are very nice to me, and the seniors are also very nice. It’s just that they’re a little… enthusiastic.”

“All right, I understand. If something really happens, I’ll contact Uncle Su and Aunt Su.”

“Didn’t your mother say that your brother is here too?”

“Mm-hmm, I’ll contact Big Brother later, don’t worry.”

“Then I’m hanging up now, byeeee~”

Two minutes later, An Zijin hung up the phone.

“Mom’s so annoying, always worrying too much.”

An Zijin stuck out her tongue.

She knew her mother was just worried about her. After all, she hadn’t been back to Longyao City for a long time, and her parents weren’t around. She was alone and had no family here, and with her looks, it was easy for people to get close to her. It was only natural for her parents to worry.

But An Zijin wasn’t worried at all.

Because she wasn’t really without any support in this city.

“I wonder how Big Brother is doing now. Does he still remember me?”

An Zijin thought about her childhood friend and suddenly felt happy.

“Wait for me to visit you, Brother Su Ming.”
