As a Supporting Character, Why Do I Have So Many Heroines Around Me?

Xie Wei, by chance, learned from a system that his world had a 'Child of Destiny', and that he, Xie Wei, was like a minor supporting character with little screen time in a novel within this...

Chapter 18 Confessing Love and Watching the Show

Su Miaomiao had been holding back her laughter when she heard Chen Feng call out Xie Wei's name, but at this moment she really couldn't hold back anymore and burst out laughing.

Chen Feng felt his face burning, as if he had been slapped, but he couldn't say anything and could only swallow his grievances.

Xie Wei didn't want to pay attention to Chen Feng's foolish tricks, so he turned his gaze away and left. Behind him, Su Miaomiao's voice could be heard, "Teacher, don't go! Didn't we agree to treat you to a meal and ask you some questions?" Then footsteps followed.

Finally, Xie Wei and Su Miaomiao arrived at a coffee shop on campus. It was lunchtime, and the place was almost empty. Xie Wei and Su Miaomiao sat silently facing each other in a corner.

Su Miaomiao broke the silence first, "I don't like having others make decisions for me, so let's cancel the engagement." After saying that, Su Miaomiao stared at Xie Wei, as if the engagement was Xie Wei's fault, trying to get Xie Wei to compromise with her proposal.

Xie Wei picked up his coffee, ignoring Su Miaomiao's gaze, and took a sip unhurriedly. He looked out the window at the college students hurrying to eat their meals. "Miss Su, there's no need to look at me like that. The engagement was just proof of the good relationship between our two families. The engagement didn't specify whether it was you or me, it only mentioned the Xie and Su families. In other words, it doesn't matter who fulfills this engagement, as long as the outcome is between the Xie and Su families."

"If it wasn't you, then what are you doing teaching at Imperial University?" Su Miaomiao was somewhat skeptical of Xie Wei.

“There are many reasons why I came to teach at Imperial University, and seeing you is only one of them,” Xie Wei said slowly, then added, “The engagement does not specify a partner. If the Su family has already decided on Miss Su, then you can choose anyone from the Xie family, as long as they agree.”

"I've said my piece. Does Miss Su still have any questions?"

After listening to Xie Wei's words, Su Miaomiao thought about it and realized that, as Xie Wei said, the verbal agreement between the two parties did not specify the individuals involved. Therefore, it was Su Miaomiao herself who had placed her own interpretation in the agreement, which led to her having objections to Xie Wei. Thinking of this, Su Miaomiao looked at Xie Wei apologetically, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood."

Seeing Su Miaomiao's attitude of admitting her mistake, Xie Wei understood that Su Miaomiao would probably not hold a grudge against him anymore. He put down his coffee and stood up. "Since the misunderstanding has been cleared up, I hope the ending is as Miss Su wishes. I will take my leave now."

Su Miaomiao watched Xie Wei leave without a second glance, feeling indignant. "Am I really that unattractive? This jerk doesn't seem to want to be near me at all!" she thought, pouting as she watched Xie Wei walk towards the door.

Xie Wei seemed to sense Su Miaomiao's thoughts and said before leaving the door, "We met at the wrong time, Miss Su."
