Tan Xiao stayed up late reading a novel and somehow found herself inside it, transmigrated into the role of a background NPC who wasn't even important enough to have a name. She was also one of the many girls who admired the male lead.
The System told her she could go home as soon as she finished the plot.
So Tan Xiao began her daily grind as a background character. Whenever the male lead, Zhu Xinzhou, was around, she had to stand nearby and gush over him a few times. If the heroine, Qu Zhiyao, was there too, she had to look heartbroken and wish them happiness. And if the second male lead, Pei Li, showed up, she'd have to switch emotions on the fly and compliment him a few times as well. Wherever the scene needed atmosphere, that's where she had to be.
Her job was to keep them company.
She thought she only had to be invisible, but why was the plot getting more and more derailed? And why was she becoming more and more noticeable?
At the last basketball game of their second year of high school, the noise had barely died down when she took a step forward, intending to bring the male lead his usual drink. Suddenly, someone grabbed her wrist.
Pei Li stood in front of her, backlit, his voice as soft as a breeze.
"Tan Xiao, could you please look at me..."
"Your name sounds pretty nice."
"Pei Li? Doesn't that sound like 'apologize'? What an unlucky name."
"But it can also mean 'be with you,' like me staying by your side."
From that day on, a uniquely beautiful sight appeared in Pei Li's eyes.
Tan Xiao always thought she was just a background character, but Pei Li told her she was the only scenery he ever wanted to see.
