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

Xu Qian crossed her arms and remained silent.

I was still shivering.

Even the most clueless person would realize by now that she's afraid of heights.

This made Lu Chengzhou look at her with new respect.

Based on his understanding of Xu Qian, the moment she forced herself to come out, she must have been thinking of not causing him any trouble.

How could a girl like this not evoke a protective instinct in others?

Unfortunately, Lu Chengzhou had no intention of trying to win over anyone at the moment.

He kept his pity for Xu Qian to himself and never showed it.

……

Half an hour later.

Teacher Xu ran over, covered in sweat.

The daughter and Lu Chengzhou were sitting on the stone steps of the fountain at the school gate.

The two maintained a distance of about the size of a backpack between them.

Teacher Xu wiped the sweat from her arms.

Looking at his well-developed biceps, Lu Chengzhou felt a chill run down his spine.

Fortunately, he is a very wise man and did not act like a tasteless LSP who would take advantage of someone in that situation.

Otherwise, he would have to consider whether he could withstand a punch from Teacher Xu.

"Dad, let's go home."

"Hey! What did you say?"

Teacher Xu glared at her daughter.

"You silly girl, you're always so sensible, why are you so confused today?"

Xu Qian looked at her father blankly.

What does that mean?

Why aren't you home yet? What are you waiting for?

Teacher Xu hooked her arm around Lu Chengzhou's neck and brought him between the father and daughter.

"Look, Xiao Lu went through so much trouble to come and save you, right?"

Xu Qian nodded.

She also gave Lu Chengzhou a sympathetic look.

Being squeezed like that by my dad's muscles must be very uncomfortable.

"Since this person is your savior, shouldn't you invite them home for a meal and let them stay overnight to show your gratitude?"

Teacher Xu's words were very straightforward.

However, both of them looked shocked and troubled.

Xu Qian is a very conservative person. She feels that bringing a boy home gives her the feeling of having chosen him.

She did have some affection for Lu Chengzhou and was grateful for his help, but...

It hasn't reached the point where it's already been decided, has it?

Most importantly, she had no idea what Lu Chengzhou's attitude towards her was.

Lu Chengzhou seems to be the kind of person who doesn't want to be in a relationship at all; he seems very serious.

Since he doesn't have those kinds of thoughts, wouldn't it cause him trouble if she shamelessly confessed her feelings to him?

Thinking of this, Xu Qian lowered her head.

She gently tugged at her father's sleeve and urged, "Dad, let's go! I'll do the thank-you things myself later, so don't worry about it."

Upon hearing her daughter say "I'll do it myself," Ms. Xu immediately thought of an indescribable way to express her gratitude.

His face fell immediately.

No!

Although he doesn't object to his daughter dating, he strongly objects to her being pressured into dating too early.

Absolutely not!

Rather than letting his daughter make her own decisions and end up being deceived, he, the old father, would rather be the dictator and treat Lu Chengzhou to dinner tonight and let him stay overnight!

Of course, we'll still live together.

Don't even think about getting close to his precious daughter under his nose.

"You have to listen to me about this, Sisi."

Teacher Xu displayed the authority of a parent.

"Come on, both of you, come home with me!"

……

On the road.

Xu Qian kept her head down and didn't say a word.

Her cheeks were burning, and her mind was blank.

At this moment, facing Lu Chengzhou, she really didn't know what to say.

Lu Chengzhou remained silent as well.

Teacher Xu was sitting in the passenger seat of a taxi, chatting with the driver about football. Coincidentally, the driver was also a football enthusiast, and the two of them had a lively conversation.

Unfortunately, the two young people in the back row showed no signs of being infected by the lively atmosphere.

Xu Qian silently took out her phone, then silently put it back in her pocket.

She forgot again that her phone was out of battery.

So she took out a pen and notebook, started writing on them, and passed a note to Lu Chengzhou.

Lu Chengzhou was quite surprised when he received her note.

The two of them are only a backpack's width apart, so why can't they just say what they want to say?

Girls are such a hassle.

I opened the note, and there were three words written in delicate small handwriting: I'm sorry.

Lu Chengzhou was helpless.

He could only say softly, "Don't take it to heart, it's a very small matter."

Xu Qian continued writing: I mean, about Dad forcibly inviting you to my house as a guest.

Lu Chengzhou continued softly, "Actually, I should thank Teacher Xu for thinking so highly of me."

Hearing him say that warmed Xu Qian's heart.

On the last note, she wrote: Thank you. I owe you a huge favor, and I will find a way to repay you in the future.

……

Lu Chengzhou was very clear about the difference between personal relationships and favors.

If a man owes someone a favor, he must immediately set clear rules: when and how to repay it, and not even a little less.

He doesn't really care if a pretty girl owes him a favor.

However, Xu Qian was speaking very seriously at this moment, and if he said "never mind, I don't want it," it would seem a bit ungrateful.

He began to imagine how she would repay this favor to him.

Are you cooking?

Or should I help him with laundry and cleaning?

Or perhaps, you could invite him to a movie or go to the library to study together?

I thought about it all the way, but I still didn't get an answer from Xu Qian.

After getting off the bus, Ms. Xu warmly put her arm around his neck and led him into the house.

Just then, Mr. Xu's wife came home from get off work.

As soon as she entered, she began to scrutinize Lu Chengzhou.

"This is the boyfriend you were talking about, Sisi's boyfriend?"

Aunt Xu asked this question.

Xu Qian and Lu Chengzhou both frowned at the same time.

They both felt they should quickly explain the misunderstanding.

However, seeing how excited her father was, she feared that things would only get worse if she tried to explain it.

Xu Qian could even imagine what her mother would say after she said, "Lu Chengzhou is not my boyfriend":

"If he's not your boyfriend, why would he bother climbing over the wall in the middle of the night to rescue you?"

The older generation's thinking is just that stubborn; there's nothing you can do about it.

In their view, there is no such thing as pure friendship between young men and women.

Offering attention without the intention of dating is nothing but playing the fool.

098. I hope the junior won't shout.

"sit down."

"The food is ready."

"I also bought drinks and alcohol; feel free to take what you need."
