What to do if you become the female lead's best friend?

Chapter 10

In her past life, Gu Jin had never worn ten-centimeter high heels. This time, to match the height of the other etiquette girls, who were all around 170 cm tall, she put them on for the first time.

How did it feel? Well, wearing them did indeed make her feel more confident and imposing.

But after wearing them for so long, her ankles were starting to ache.

As expected, beauty comes at a price.

Luckily, the awards had been given out, and the ceremony was nearing its end.

The school leaders were giving their concluding remarks on stage, and there wasn’t much left for the etiquette girls to do.

She told someone nearby and planned to return to the changing room to switch back into her own clothes.

"Gu Jin."

Just as she walked out of the crowd through a side aisle, Gu Jin heard someone call her name.

She looked up and saw Tong Lin.

Tong Lin was holding a few sheets of paper, likely the finalized script from earlier. He was dressed casually in a white shirt and black pants, with a clean, tall, and slender silhouette, like a school heartthrob straight out of a novel.

However, in reality, Tong Lin was serious, distant, and indeed the cold, aloof type that many girls admired.

Gu Jin was a bit surprised to see him here, but then again, she had coincidentally become an etiquette girl, so why wouldn’t others be involved too?

She pulled a smile. "Oh, it's the president. What's up?"

Because she wasn't used to wearing such high heels, Gu Jin's face was slightly pale, making her smile seem unexpectedly pitiful to others.

"I’m here to deliver something for a friend," a brief look of amazement flashed in his dark eyes, and when he noticed her paleness, he frowned slightly. "What are you doing here?"

Gu Jin didn’t miss the fleeting worry in Tong Lin’s eyes, and a warmth rose in her heart. She briefly explained the situation.

This person didn’t appear in the novel, and based on Gu Jin’s memory, she had a favorable impression of him. Moreover, Tong Lin’s good looks matched her aesthetic preferences. On a normal day, she might have taken the opportunity to chat with him.

But the pain in her feet constantly reminded her that if she didn’t change her shoes soon, her feet would be ruined!

After saying goodbye, she hurried toward the changing room.

Tong Lin’s eyes followed her hastily departing figure. He pursed his lips and didn’t ask her opinion about the magazine club.

Feeling the intense gaze behind her gradually fade away, Gu Jin finally slowed down her pace.

She sighed softly.

What a shame.

The changing room was in a room inside the campus activity center, where everyone was currently at the ceremony assisting with the event.

When Gu Jin reached the corridor, it was completely silent, with no one in sight.

She first went into the changing room, took out her small backpack, and then went to the restroom to wash the makeup off her face.

The water flowed loudly, the bathroom lights were bright, and she pulled out a tissue to wipe her face while looking in the mirror.

Then, she froze.
