Something's Up with Background Character DChapter 2

With everything done, the Zhang father and son made their way out of the house.

Turns out, the Original Zhang Ming did have a bicycle that he rode to and back from school. Said bicycle was currently attached to the back of his father’s car. u3xbLN

With a sigh, he leaned back on his seat and turned his chocolate brown eyes out the window.

He ended up blanking out (maybe even fell asleep for a few minutes), the next time he looked out they were already coming up the gates of the school.

Many other children came passing through, walking or on a bike. A few come in with cars, some with expensive looking sports cars.

Zhang Ming blinks at them all, hiding a judgemental stare. MIjLkr

Seriously, who thought bringing a sports car to school would be a good idea? Seems very tacky… (¬_¬)

Father Zhang pulls into the designated drop off, “Alright, here we are.”

“Thanks, Dad! I’ll see you at home!” Zhang Ming says as he goes out and grabs his bike from the attachment.

“Have a nice day at school, Ming’er.” Father Zhang says as he slowly drives away, leaving Zhang Ming to wave goodbye.

As if on cue, the car pulls into one of the reserved parking lots and out comes the Male Lead. GbK 2V

Ivo Mooney comes walking out with his pale blonde hair (a few centimeters of his hair was darker, probably bleached then) and pale blue eyes. Although his clothes seem to have a simple design, Zhang Ming can still tell it’s probably worth more than his own family house or something.

Suddenly, it’s as if the world slowed down as the male lead made his way to school. Girls can be heard swooning in the background, and wait…

…are those seriously pink bubble effects Zhang Ming is seeing? (_ _’)

A few guys walked past him and he high fives each one, all seemingly in a slow motion filter… And Zhang Ming is just kind of done with this. L1XOUe

However, everything seemed to stop (to which Zhang Ming could almost breathe a sigh of relief) when someone bumped the male lead.

A small gasp escaped from the person as they tripped on Ivo’s shoe. The man reflexively wrapped an arm around the person. And suddenly, the world fades away (Zhang Ming: Oh my god—) as Ivo comes face to face with the world’s female lead: Elizabeth Linton. Her red hair cascaded to the floor as her green eyes shifted towards her ‘savior’. Ivo’s eyes widened as the girl’s face reddened to match her hair.

Before he could see anything else (he has already read through this book once, and he doesn’t want to experience this all over again—), Zhang Ming’s attention strayed away from the absolutely cliché two main lead’s first appearance when a black motorcycle came in.

The motorcycle’s rider parks it in the designated area for motorcycles and bicycles and turns off the vehicle. A leg is swung over the motorcycle as the rider settles off it before they take off their black helmet. 0iUNqW

The boy with dark brown hair and hazel eyes settles the helmet on his hip as he slings a bag over his shoulder.

Zhang Ming watches as the boy’s eyes gaze across the crowd. As it settles over his area, Zhang Ming looks away and back to the two main leads.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Ivo and Elizabeth have finally untangled themselves when the boy with hazel eyes made his way towards the gate, unaffected with everything else unlike the other students around them.

That’s when it clicked. Right, hazel eyes must be the Second Male Lead: Reke Reynolds. Qf4EAN

As the world finally shifted back to normal, Elizabeth rights the sling of her back on her shoulder once more before apologizing and thanking the boy. Then she hurries into the school. When Ivo finally snapped out of it and stepped towards the gate as well, all the other students fell into step with him, everyone finally heading into school.

Zhang Ming repressed a sigh of relief as he could finally move with the crowd towards their lockers.

As the students branched out to their respective lockers and their classes, Zhang Ming realizes a bit late that he has no idea where his locker is and which classes he’s supposed to go.

His step falters for a little in the middle of the hallway. Then he remembers— his phone! m5xJlU

He immediately pats his pocket for his phone before pulling it out. He turns it on and finds that it opens through facial recognition. He mentally fist pumps before looking through the phone’s notes. And there it was! A locked note (can also be opened through facial recognition) filled with a list of his accounts, passwords, and other information. And very coincidentally, it included his locker number and passcode. He also finds a class schedule in his notes.

(Leaving all that information in one accessible place is both convenient and dangerous… but Zhang Ming isn’t about to bite the hand that feeds him.)

With this victory, he almost skips his way towards Locker #444.

He catches sight of Reke closing his locker door with his helmet now inside (So his locker is #412) and making his way to his class. raS5Iv

Once Zhang Ming opens his locker, he pulls out the books needed for his class and shoves them into his bag. He checks the contents of his locker for anything else that may be of value. Once he’s done, he closes and locks his locker with everything he should need and ventures on to his classes.

  1. Lol the pink effects- that reminds me of the manga about a straight guy living in a bl world. Also the classic bumping into each other and falling in love lmao!

  2. se ve emocionante! un cliché del ambiente escolar con un protagonista reconocido y un segundo protagonista que parece duro, y las burbujas rosadas 🤣 Le deseo suerte a Zhang Ming

    • Does it? XDDDD

      My little sister watches that but I don’t

      So I had no idea 😂

      All I know is that this is definitely how I’d picture most cliché romance books to portray this kind of scene hehe
