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

However, the knocking was always very regular, with two light knocks every ten minutes.

I don't know if she wanted him to hear it or not.

Lu Chengzhou got up, put on his slippers, walked to the door, and opened it.

It really was Jiang Aiyu.

She wasn't wearing her old-fashioned pajamas today; she was wearing a new one.

The pink strawberry polka dots, paired with pink fluffy slippers, finally give it a girlish feel.

She was still sitting on that small stool, leaning against the railing.

He held a broom in his hand, shaking it every now and then.

That very light and strange knocking sound was made by the broom.

This made Lu Chengzhou a little embarrassed.

It seems they weren't trying to call him, but were just playing with their brooms.

Playing this late at night always made him feel that the other person might be playing some kind of strange role-playing game.

"Teacher, have you been very busy lately?"

Just as Lu Chengzhou was about to leave, Jiang Aiyu called him.

You haven't replied to any of the messages I sent you.

Literally, these words carry a slightly blaming tone.

But actually, when she says it in such a calm, narrative tone, there's really no sense of blame.

Instead, it made Lu Chengzhou feel even worse than being blamed.

Right, so this is compassion for the weak, isn't it?

Moreover, she was an extremely beautiful but weak person.

He tried to compose himself and said in the same calm, narrative tone, "I have been quite busy lately and haven't been checking the news much."

Jiang Aiyu nodded: "Then take a look now, I've sent you a lot of messages."

Lu Chengzhou: "..."

He instinctively wanted to say that he didn't bring his phone.

But when I looked down, I saw my phone right there in my hand, the screen still lit up.

Fortunately, I didn't lie on the spur of the moment.

He had no choice but to obediently open the other person's chat window.

From the angle from which Jiang Aiyu was sitting, she could see that Lu Chengzhou had no unread messages.

But she didn't say anything.

She even felt that others had no obligation to reply to her messages.

So, she simply watched Lu Chengzhou's finger slide across the screen with a slightly expectant look in her eyes.

Lu Chengzhou thought for a moment and sent her an emoji.

Jiang Aiyu's lips curled up slightly, and the joy made her eyes sparkle.

"So you can laugh after all."

These words came out of Lu Chengzhou's mouth.

After saying it, she realized it was inappropriate, because Jiang Aiyu quickly put away her smile and returned to her expressionless state.

That smile was naturally etched into Lu Chengzhou's memory.

……

The two didn't talk about much.

Lu Chengzhou spoke very little, and Jiang Aiyu spoke even less.

These two silent people simply occupied a corner in the darkness, each enjoying the breeze for a while, before parting ways.

In the original work, this character was just a plot device; he appeared briefly and then disappeared.

The marriage between Lin Chen and her ended without a trace, and she didn't seem unhappy, nor did she seem particularly happy.

Lu Chengzhou thought of when she made pumpkin pancakes, saying they were for her fiancé. He wondered if Lin Chen had eaten any.

However, thinking about Lin Chen's recent wandering, Lu Chengzhou felt that he must not have been able to eat.

Thus,

The only person in the entire series to actually eat the pumpkin pancakes made by Jiang Aiyu was probably Lu Chengzhou himself.

Thinking about this possibility, Lu Chengzhou felt a little moved.

After returning home, he lay down on the sofa and quickly fell asleep.

……

The next morning.

Lu Chengzhou got up rather late today because he didn't have to go to class.

When he woke up, Sister Meng was using his bathroom, washing her hair and taking a shower.

When she came out wearing Lu Chengzhou's shirt, Lu Chengzhou stared at her for a long time.

It looks like a boyfriend shirt!

Although both have very large busts, Meng Jie and Xu Qian each have their own unique body types.

Xu Qian is not as tall as Sister Meng, so she loses out in terms of presence.

Sister Meng's dignified and mature aura is something no one can replicate.

Xu Qian's pure yet alluring charm is something that no one can imitate.

"Lu Chengzhou, you can cook, right? Go make something, I'm hungry."

Sister Meng, with her two long, bare legs, sat opposite him and naturally crossed her legs.

She's quite unconcerned about details and doesn't seem worried about accidentally exposing herself...

Of course, a gentleman like Lu Chengzhou would not deliberately peek under someone's shirt.

Anyone who does that is incredibly low-class.

Lu Chengzhou was clearly being ordered around, but he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

It might be because it was Sister Meng's first time staying overnight at his place, or it might be because, when she stood up, she accidentally saw a bit of black lace inside his shirt.

When people feel guilty, they are indeed more likely to agree to other people's requests.

……

"Sister, tell me honestly, what did you use to beat up Teacher Lu?"

While waiting for breakfast, Sister Meng received a message from her younger sister.

Sister Meng replied slyly: "Take a guess?"

Meng Wanyu was so angry that she sent several exclamation marks: "You're too cruel!!! After being beaten like this, it will take at least a month to completely remove the marks, right?"

Seeing her younger sister's flustered state, Sister Meng laughed heartily.

What did she say again?

My younger sister is stubborn but soft-hearted.

How could he possibly bring himself to actually beat up Lu Chengzhou?

Meng Wanyu added, "By the way, have you seen Zha Zha? Send me some pictures of it."

So, Sister Meng began searching for Meng Zha Zha.

Finally, on Lu Chengzhou's computer desk, they saw Zha Zha gnawing on Lu Chengzhou's computer monitor.

Sister Meng hissed.

She was about to shoo the little guy away when she heard a crisp "cluck".

The computer screen, which was previously lit, suddenly became distorted.

Realizing she had done something wrong, Zha Zha rushed over and hugged Sister Meng's ankle, meowing cutely in a panic.

Sister Meng squatted down and rubbed its head.

He spoke in a gentle tone, yet his words carried a hint of schadenfreude.

"You're finished this time, I can't protect you anymore."

105. He might just be her woody fragrance.

"Aaaaaah...!"

"How can it be repaired?"

"You little rascal!"

Upon seeing the broken monitor, Lu Chengzhou's reaction was even more exaggerated than Sister Meng had imagined.

He immediately rolled up his sleeves and glared at the trembling Zha Zha.

Zha Zha let out a desperate "meow".

"Meow! Keep meowing! Today I'm going to beat you until you meow, and let you meow to your heart's content!"

As soon as Lu Chengzhou uttered those threatening words, Zha Zha immediately hid in Sister Meng's arms, trembling with fear.

Sister Meng pinched its cat face.

It also cleverly used an adorable gesture, almost as if it was saying, "Big sister, save me!"

Sister Meng raised her head and looked at Lu Chengzhou.

Lu Chengzhou's gesture of catching the cat could only remain suspended in mid-air.
