That Person Has a Name, Too

[Saving this for later]

There is a kind of person in novels who exists solely to make the protagonist look good.

For the sake of the protagonist's growth, he has to be a walking collection of flaws, sucking up to the protagonist when they shine and kicking them when they're down. Once the protagonist has truly succeeded, he can make his exit.

Fu Jue has been the story's vicious male supporting character for three years, and making life difficult for the protagonist comes naturally to him.

The upside is that he's handsome, rich, and capable, and outside the plot he has everything he needs and can do anything.

The downside is that the author is too lazy to come up with names, so the vicious male supporting character in every one of their books is him. Bugs in the story often make him jump between plots, with the result that nobody remembers him outside the story. The thing he hears most is:

"Aren't you that guy?"

Fu Jue is used to it. He eats and drinks as usual and doesn't let anything bother him.

Until one day, while eating rice noodles at a new restaurant in the author's male-pregnancy novel, a man sat down across from him.

"There you are, Fu Jue."

It's been a long time since anyone called him by name. Fu Jue instinctively looked at the man. "Holy crap!!!"

Wasn't this man his sidekick in the school novel, his assistant in the CEO novel, his strategist in the transmigration novel, and his mount in the fantasy novel?

He, he, he...

Had he bugged out too???

Later on.

Fu Jue whined and protested to the man: "I'm not the protagonist! I can't get pregnant!!!"

The man pressed a finger to his lower abdomen and gently coaxed him. "Be good. Let's try again."

Fu Jue: _(:з"∠)_...
