Why are you all trying to win over me, the male supporting character?

However, this stroke of luck was shattered just fifteen minutes later.

Looking at Lin Chen, who was disguised and secretly spying on the female lead Su Qiaoman at the barbecue stall, Lu Chengzhou sighed and rubbed his forehead.

"What a small world!"

Just then, the customers at the table next to the freezer, who were quite drunk, started shouting loudly.

The tables, chairs, and benches were smashed with a loud clanging sound.

Just as described in the original novel, trouble is about to befall the female protagonist, Su Qiaoman.

The system's voice rang out at just the right moment.

[Trigger Plot Point: Please choose: Will you be a hero who saves the female lead, or quietly observe the situation?]

Based on his previous experience and memories of reading the original novel, Lu Chengzhou knew that these two choices would lead to completely different outcomes.

In the original novel, Lu Chengzhou chose to play the hero and save the damsel in distress, only to have his head smashed with a beer bottle by a thug with green hair.

Startled, Su Qiaoman fainted in Lin Chen's arms.

Lin Chen carried Su Qiaoman over Lu Chengzhou, leaving the lowly sycophant lying on the cold ground, enduring the wind and rain, as well as the pain in his body.

This is the end for a simp.

Now that Lu Chengzhou already knows this will happen, is it still possible for him to choose this option?

joke.

Is it that barbecue isn't as appealing anymore, or beer isn't as delicious?

He chose to quietly observe and watch the drama unfold.

Lu Chengzhou completely ignored the female lead, Su Qiaoman, walked to the best viewing area, and sat down.

The proprietress brought over the menu.

"Our grilled fish and spicy crayfish are quite good. Would you two like some?"

Meng Wanyu took the menu and glanced at it briefly.

"This, this, and this..."

The proprietress nodded and took notes.

She had only written half of it when Meng Wanyu added, "I don't want any of the things you mentioned."

The proprietress frowned. "Are you kidding me?"

Meng Wanyu continued unhurriedly, "One of each of the rest, the best of everything."

The proprietress was stunned for a moment, and then she was overjoyed.

"okay!"

This is a huge order that only comes around once every six months!

Fortunately, I managed to keep my mouth shut and didn't say anything inappropriate.

After watching the landlady go inside, Meng Wanyu yawned.

She always has this lazy, listless look, like a cat that hasn't woken up yet.

However, only Lu Chengzhou knew that this guy not only looked like a cat, but also had a cat-like personality and liked to play pranks on people.

Getting entangled with a girl like that will only lead to you suffering sooner or later.

It's not just a physical loss, but also a psychological one.

He discovered that she enjoyed challenging his dignity as a man, and liked to tease him like a cat playing with a ball of yarn.

As for what she was really thinking, Lu Chengzhou couldn't guess, nor dared to guess.

While waiting for the food to be served, the female protagonist was surrounded by thugs.

Meng Wanyu shifted her gaze to her.

Su Qiaoman looked like a typical victim, meekly apologizing to the thugs.

"Hey, you brat, what did you say? No money?!"

One of the muscular men almost poked Su Qiaoman's face with his finger.

"You're not planning to lose everything, are you?"

"What are you crying for? I'm talking to you nicely, it's not like I'm bullying you!"

"Hey, talk to me, how are you going to compensate me?!"

Lin Chen, who was watching from a distance, clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, but he didn't dare to rush forward recklessly.

Although he had some martial arts skills, there were simply too many people on the other side, and each of them was armed.

Moreover, and most importantly, Su Qiaoman and he haven't officially started a relationship yet, so he can't just rashly offer to help her.

If this gets out, it will make him look cheap.

If things go wrong, people might even think you're a simp.

"This Lu Chengzhou, sitting closest, didn't he go up and help? Isn't he Qiaoman's childhood friend?" Lin Chen gritted his teeth in anger.

However, Lu Chengzhou seemed completely oblivious to his angry gaze, silently drinking his beer.

Since he made no move, Meng Wanyu was even less likely to do anything.

As a girl, she had a more discerning eye than these two men.

While others couldn't see it clearly, she could see it perfectly.

Su Qiaoman spilled sauce on someone's pants, but apparently had no money to pay for it and just wanted to get away with crying.

The situation remains deadlocked.

Just then, Xu Qian, who was riding her bicycle by, happened to see this scene.

Driven by a sense of justice, she immediately stepped on the brakes, got out of the car, and came over.

"Hey, what are you all planning to do around that little girl?"

The thugs surrounding Su Qiaoman glanced back.

One of them recognized Xu Qian.

Xu Qian's father is a celebrity at school, having subdued many troublemakers through force.

The local thugs had all been beaten up by Xu Qian's father.

Xu Qian often spoke up for these troublemakers, saving them from being punished by the school.

Therefore, Xu Qian was surprisingly well-liked among them.

To prevent her from being affected, several young people quickly stopped her on the outside and explained the situation to her.

"Sister Sisi, just leave it alone. This brat did something bad and is just pretending to be wronged."

As he spoke, he pointed specifically to Su Qiaoman, who was sobbing.

"My brother spent a fortune on new pants, and she ruined them so badly they're completely unwearable, but she doesn't want to pay for them!"

011. They actually came up with this method of shifting the blame eastward.

"Well, in that case, it is indeed Su Qiaoman who is in the wrong."

Xu Qian offered a very fair commentary.

"Then, make sure you compensate us properly."

Su Qiaoman blushed when she heard this.

He kept gripping the hem of his clothes.

Where would she get the money to pay compensation?

If there were any, we wouldn't be blocked by these people.

In her moment of utter distress, she cast a pitiful, pleading look at Lu Chengzhou, who was not far away.

Lu Chengzhou was picking up some grilled meat.

With a gentle lift, I flipped it over.

Then, he picked up a piece of roasted meat that had already been grilled and placed it on Meng Wanyu's plate.

Meng Wanyu smiled slightly and said some kind words of thanks.

Su Qiaoman: "..."

Her face turned even uglier.

How could her Ah Zhou serve food to any woman other than her?

Moreover, she was an arrogant and rude little princess like Meng Wanyu!

Thinking about this, some dark thoughts suddenly flashed through her mind.

She raised her head, sniffed, and looked at the thug in front of her.

He raised his hand and pointed to Lu Chengzhou over there.

"Brother, I'm with that boy, he's my best friend."

The meaning of that statement is quite obvious, isn't it?

The gangster snorted, shrugged off Su Qiaoman, and walked towards Lu Chengzhou's table.

He slapped the table, asserting his presence.

Lu Chengzhou looked up and gave him a blank, innocent look: "Is there something you need?"

The gangster snorted again: "That girl said you two were together, and that you're her best friend? Well, you'll have to pay for her!"

As he spoke, he pointed to his soiled pants.

Lu Chengzhou: "..."

Good guy.
