This Witch Transmigrated into the Romantic Novel's Supporting Role

Recently, Chu Yang found a part-time job at a relatively high-end restaurant as a server, getting paid 25 dollars per hour, which was not bad. When she was trying out for the job, the restaurant manager saw that she was nimble and also a student at the prestigious A University, so he decided to keep her, saying she could come over whenever she had time.

So when Chu Yang was free on weekends, she would go there to work. That day, the female protagonist Li Qinglu texted her, "Chu Yang, we're all going to the amusement park on Saturday, do you want to join us?"

Chu Yang directly rejected it, "I'm not going, I'm busy on Saturday."

"Oh, okay," Li Qinglu on the other end sounded somewhat disappointed, thinking maybe what Lin Shushu said last time made Chu Yang upset.

"Chu Yang said she can't go because she's busy," Li Qinglu said to the others.

Upon hearing that, Lin Shushu was delighted, "Since she's not going, let's not bother about her. It's her own choice not to join us. We can go ourselves."

"But..."

"No buts. At most, we can ask her again next time we go out to have fun, right?"

"Alright."

Lin Shushu breathed a sigh of relief. She really did not like Chu Yang and always felt her innocent and gentle demeanor was pretentious.

Chu Yang was not bothered at all by this incident. She did have plans - she already told the restaurant she would go there to work part-time tomorrow. It was a high-end restaurant so customers all had reservations. It was not too busy and Chu Yang felt it was manageable. During breaks, she would overhear the other servers gossiping.

"The guy at Table 18 just now was so handsome!"

"Did you get his WeChat?"

"No, I didn't dare to."

"Don't be shy. You have to take the initiative for romance to happen!"

"You know Table 11? That guy is a scumbag. I often see him coming to the restaurant for meals but he always has a different girl with him each time."

"Maybe they are just friends?"

"What friends? The kind who can hold hands and touch shoulders?"

"Hahaha, hilarious!"

Just then a customer walked in. Chu Yang quickly went over to receive them. After seating the customers, she came back and overheard the others consoling Xu Zhao, another university student working part-time like Chu Yang.

"It's alright, it's just some guy."

Xu Zhao said, "But it was so awkward. I hope he doesn't complain about me to the manager."

"That shouldn't happen. He didn't look like the petty kind."

"Yeah, so what if he didn't give you his WeChat? His loss."

Chu Yang gradually pieced together what happened - earlier the handsome guy at Table 18 was asked for his WeChat by Xu Zhao, urged on by everyone else. But he rejected her and even said he was here just to eat, hinting not to disturb him. Xu Zhao awkwardly came back and the others were comforting her.

With her friends' consolation, Xu Zhao felt much better. She suddenly saw Chu Yang standing quietly under the light. The restaurant's lighting was designed to create atmosphere.

Chu Yang just stood under the light, her perfect profile even more exquisite under the flattering light. Dressed in the restaurant uniform which instead of looking tacky, complemented her good looks.

Xu Zhao sighed, "If it were Chu Yang asking for the WeChat, she probably would've gotten it." Everyone turned to look at Chu Yang, agreeing with what Xu Zhao said.

"Chu Yang is so pretty. That guy definitely wouldn't reject her."

"What guy would reject such a beauty?"

"And I heard Chu Yang goes to the prestigious A University too. How impressive."

"Hey Chu Yang, why don't you give it a try?"

Chu Yang: ?

Of course she didn't go in the end. Why would she?

Soon a group of people walked in. Chu Yang quickly went over, "Welcome. Do you have a reservation?"

Just as Chu Yang finished speaking, a shrill voice called out, "Chu Yang, what are you doing here? Don't tell me you're here spying on Gu Xiao and Qinglu's whereabouts?"

Chu Yang looked up at the group. Oh, it was the male and female protagonists and their friends. And that shrill voice belonged to Lin Shushu.

Chu Yang glanced at her and continued, "Do you have a reservation?"

The others finally reacted and looked towards the guy standing in the middle. He cleared his throat, "Yes, I booked a private room."

"Please provide your phone number," Chu Yang said.

"185XXXXXX."

Chu Yang quickly handed them a bill, "Mr. Gu? Please follow our server to your private room this way." She gestured for Xu Zhao to lead them to the private room.

The others took one more look at Chu Yang before following Xu Zhao, while Li Qinglu pulled along Lin Shushu who was about to say something more.

In the private room after the server left, Lin Shushu could no longer hold it in, "How can Chu Yang be here? She can't possibly have been stalking us right?" Although nobody liked Chu Yang, such an accusation clearly did not stand. It was obvious Chu Yang was working here. And stalking them at the restaurant instead of the amusement park? While working part-time here deliberately?

Li Qinglu frowned and pulled Lin Shushu, "Shushu, don't say that. It's very clear that Chu Yang works here. She is not the kind of person who would stalk us. Don't say things like this anymore."

Seeing that the others did not agree with her, Lin Shushu who was already embarrassed quickly said, "Alright, alright, I was wrong. I was just speculating."

Soon, Chu Yang came over pushing a trolley and served everyone's food orders. Lin Shushu still could not resist asking, "Chu Yang why are you working here? And at this restaurant some more. How come you didn't tell Qinglu? And didn't we ask you out to have fun together and you didn't join us?"

Chu Yang did not answer her. She set the dishes down and merely said, "Enjoy your meal." Then she left.

Seeing Chu Yang's attitude made Lin Shushu furious, "What's with her attitude? How dare she ignore me?" The others also felt Chu Yang was out of line.

"Wasn't she sticking to us all the time previously?"

"She's probably unhappy seeing Qinglu and Gu Xiao together and that's why she's behaving like that."

"Must be. Who doesn't know about her little crush."

Li Qinglu quickly tried to placate everyone, "Chu Yang is busy with work. Let's not disturb her."

Lin Shushu retorted in dissatisfaction, "What disturbance? She's the server and we are customers! Isn't the server's job to serve customers? I should lodge a complaint about her."

Li Qinglu said, "Alright, why are you and Chu Yang at odds? You can't even keep your mouth shut over a meal."

Lin Shushu dared not say more about her immense dislike for Chu Yang. She resigned to keeping quiet and eating.

After the meal, Gu Xiao went to settle the bill and afraid that Chu Yang would cause trouble, Lin Shushu led everyone to tag along. Chu Yang took over the bill, quickly tallied up and said, "That's $2,390 in total. Will you be paying by card or Alipay/WeChat?"

Gu Xiao took out his phone, "Alipay."

Chu Yang directly scanned his code then pointed to the QR code next to it, "You can scan here if you would like an invoice." She passed the receipt to Gu Xiao, "All done. Please come again."

Lin Shushu who tagged along was peering over the counter at Chu Yang, "Chu Yang, why did you ignore me just now? And how come you never told us about working here?"

Chu Yang glanced at her and casually retorted, "Are you my mom?" If not, why would she have to report everything to them? Even her own mom doesn't know about this job.

Lin Shushu's eyes widened in shock, the words stuck in her throat. Just as she was about to hurl abuses, Li Qinglu quickly covered her mouth, "Sorry to disturb your work Chu Yang. We'll get going first. Be safe going back to campus at night."

With that, she dragged away the struggling Lin Shushu and everyone else followed them out.

On the way back, Lin Shushu was very unhappy, "What was with Chu Yang's attitude?"

Seeing how she was behaving, Li Qinglu felt it was very unreasonable, "Shushu, Chu Yang was right. She took on a job so why must she inform us? We're not her mom."

Lin Shushu argued, "Didn't she always say you were good friends before this?"

Li Qinglu was startled for a moment, "Alright, alright, Yangyang also has her own things to do. Even friends can't possibly tell you every little detail, right? Let's not talk about her. Didn't we take a lot of photos today? Let's pick a few and post them on Moments."

As soon as this was brought up, Lin Shushu's attention was immediately diverted.

On Chu Yang's side, after Li Qinglu and the others left, Xu Zhao quietly asked Chu Yang, "Do you know the customer from before?"

Chu Yang nodded, "Just a classmate."

Xu Zhao had a knowing expression. "Oh, from the same university? But that girl just now was really rude. As expected, academic qualifications and quality do not align. Also, when I brought them to the private room, that person asked me whether you only came to work today. She also said your work ability is lacking. How ridiculous. When did you come to work become her business? And how can she judge whether you are capable or not? Who does she think she is? You shouldn't hang out with her in the future."

Chu Yang nodded to indicate she understood. She didn't intend to hang out with them in the first place anyway.

At 9:30pm, Chu Yang finally got off work after standing all day. It was quite tiring. She would continue coming here the next day.

The restaurant opened at 10am. When Chu Yang first arrived, many people had already come. Xu Zhao was standing in the middle, seeming to be indignantly saying something.

Chu Yang didn't go to listen. She went straight to the backstage to change into her work clothes. When Chu Yang came out, Xu Zhao saw her and pulled her hand, chattering away, "Chu Yang, do you know or not?"

Chu Yang was confused, "Know what?"

Xu Zhao took out her phone to show her, while saying, "A pervert has appeared near the college town. Last night, a female senior was dragged into the bushes on her way back to school. She almost got assaulted, but luckily some male schoolmates heard the screams and rushed over to save her. The whole college town knows about this now."

"I heard that pervert specifically targets female college students returning late at night. Also, he waits for them by the roadside. If not for those male students who also went home late last night, I'm afraid the female senior would have died. I heard that man looked like he intended to commit murder too."

Chu Yang asked, "Has that man been caught?"

Xu Zhao shook her head. "No. I heard he escaped quickly when he heard people coming to the rescue. The police have already been informed but he hasn't been caught. So the school advised everyone not to go home late at night if possible, and to walk in groups instead of going to remote areas." Xu Zhao looked at Chu Yang's delicate features. "Chu Yang, be more careful. Don't walk through remote areas at night when going home."

Chu Yang nodded. "You too." f𝚛𝚎𝗲we𝗯𝗻ovel.𝐜om

Xu Zhao waved her hand. "Don't worry. I don't live on campus. I live near the school."

"That's good then."

Today was busier compared to yesterday, probably because today was Sunday and there were relatively more people.

She also got off work at 9:30pm at night. Chu Yang was changing when Xu Zhao came into the changing room. Chu Yang suddenly sensed an aura of death from Xu Zhao!

What was going on? Chu Yang's expression froze. Then she pretended to casually put her hand on Xu Zhao's shoulder, "There were so many people today." After saying this, she secretly released a little magic power.

Xu Zhao also looked exhausted. "Sigh, but there's bonus pay today. This bit of suffering is still bearable."

Chu Yang closed her eyes and saw the blurry image of Xu Zhao lying in a pile of garbage, eyes wide open, body covered in filth. Rainwater washed down her face.

Chu Yang removed her hand from Xu Zhao, and her legs turned soft. She almost fell down. As expected, using the crystal ball really took a huge toll.

But Xu Zhao thought she was exhausted and quickly caught her. "Chu Yang what's wrong? Are you too tired? Sit down and rest first."

Chu Yang sat down. "I'm fine. Maybe just low blood sugar."

Xu Zhao immediately took out a chocolate from her bag. "Here, have this. I also get low blood sugar often, so I always carry some chocolate. If not chocolate, then candy. You can also keep some candy in your bag from now on."

Chu Yang accepted it, then casually asked Xu Zhao, "Didn't you say you live on campus before?"

Xu Zhao nodded. "Yes. I just moved out from the school dorms. I rented a place near school. I'm in my second year. After the first year, our school doesn't require students to live on campus anymore. It's more free and comfortable living alone."

Chu Yang's expression became serious. "Go back and stay on campus tonight."

Xu Zhao was puzzled seeing Chu Yang's solemn face. "Wha...what's wrong?"

Chu Yang told her gravely. "That previous pervert will go to your area tonight!"

Xu Zhao was shocked. There was indeed a Hua Hua Convenience Store near her place. She looked at Chu Yang in horror. So what Chu Yang said was true. She really could "see"!

Xu Zhao immediately nodded in agreement. "Alright, I'll go back and stay on campus tonight."

Chu Yang "mm-hmm"-ed. "Remember to definitely go back and stay on campus. I'm leaving first."

"Okay."

After Chu Yang left, Xu Zhao changed and hurried back to school. Her roommate was surprised to see her return. "You came back to school today?"

Xu Zhao tidied her things absent-mindedly. "Oh, just came back to take a look. And we have early classes tomorrow right?"

The roommates thought that made sense and didn't say anything more.

At this moment, when the time hit 10:20pm, Chu Yang directly called 110. "Hello? Uncle policeman? I saw that recently wanted pervert in the alley next to the Hua Hua Convenience Store in XX Area."

The police mobilized very quickly. At 10:35 pm that night, the pervert was caught!

The pervert was very puzzled — he was absolutely certain he didn't give away his whereabouts. How did the police know he was there?

But he would never find out.

The next morning, Xu Zhao sat in class listening to the lecture. Her roommate suddenly said, "That pervert was finally caught! The uncle policemen are truly awesome!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhao asked, "How do you know?"

The roommate showed her the news on her phone. "Here, this morning's news. And it was in XX Area huh, wasn't that where you live Xu Zhao? Fortunately you didn't go back last night!"

Xu Zhao was shocked. She took the phone and read the news. It said that someone reported seeing the pervert last night near the Hua Hua Convenience Store in XX Area. The police went and caught him in an alley next to the convenience store!

She suddenly recalled Chu Yang's words from last night — Crouching in an alley next to a convenience store called Hua Hua.

It was true!!!

Chu Yang was truly divine! So she really could "see"!

Xu Zhao immediately screenshot the news and sent it to Chu Yang. "Chu Yang, Chu Yang! You're truly magical! Ahhh, big boss!!"

Chu Yang only replied: As long as you're safe.
