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

……

It was late at night.

The hard sofa made Xu Qian sleep very uncomfortably.

She had to sit up several times, pick up the book, and start studying again.

I hope that with the help of knowledge, she can fall asleep successfully.

However, unfortunately, it is not possible.

On the contrary, she became more and more energetic as she studied, especially after Lu Chengzhou taught her that magical memorization technique, her learning efficiency increased exponentially.

In that case, she'll still be sleeping on a ball of yarn.

Before I knew it, I had actually stayed up all night studying.

Around six o'clock in the morning, she was awakened by a muffled knocking sound.

He rubbed his eyes, sat up, and walked to the door.

She stopped just as she was about to put her hand on the doorknob.

The person suddenly became clear-headed.

This is the Lu family, not their Xu family.

Shouldn't it be her, the guest, who's here to visit, who's supposed to be opening the door?

Thinking of this, she quickly stepped back.

She turned around, walked quickly towards Lu Chengzhou's bedroom, and knocked on the door.

Lu Chengzhou also came out looking sleepy.

"what happened?"

"Someone's here, knock on the door."

As Xu Qian said this, she subconsciously hid in his bedroom and closed the door.

Lu Chengzhou: "..."

This whole thing makes it sound like they're doing something shady.

At this moment, he couldn't care less about Xu Qian; he could only go and open the door first.

Before opening the door, Lu Chengzhou considered several possibilities.

however,

Once the door was opened, all those possibilities vanished.

Standing at the door was Su Qiaoman, the female lead from the original novel, who had brought her suitcase.

"Su Qiaoman?!"

Su Qiaoman looked exhausted, with dew still clinging to her hair, making her appear to be sleeping on the streets.

Tears streamed down her face the moment she saw Lu Chengzhou.

She looks genuinely heartbroken.

His large eyes were filled with fear.

If Lu Chengzhou hadn't stopped her in time, she would have already knelt down and begged for his leg.

"Ah Zhou, only you can save me now, please help me!"

Su Qiaoman's arrival made it easy for Lu Chengzhou to recall a major plot point that was about to unfold.

In the original novel, the persecution of Su Qiaoman, the tragic heroine, is vividly demonstrated in the following major plot.

The first issue is debt collection by loan sharks.

This time, the creditors chasing the debt were completely different from the previous ones who had been so polite.

They do have criminal records and are the type to resort to violence.

Su Qiaoman's house, which had been damaged several times, was taken away this time as payment for debts.

She was now completely homeless.

Secondly, there's her love story with Lin Chen.

At this time, Lin Chen was still arguing with her over some inexplicable little things.

Not only did they ignore her, but they also kicked her when she was down and made sarcastic remarks about her.

After the conflict escalated, Lin Chen even went to her workplace and deliberately caused her to lose her job. He claimed he wanted to "shatter her facade of strength and make her willingly rely on him," but in reality, it was simply because he hadn't disciplined her enough.

This is outrageous!

How could a human do such a thing?

But back then, this kind of sadomasochistic romance was quite popular; at least, the older generation loved watching it...

Later, the misunderstanding was cleared up, and Lin Chen apologized to her with a bundle of thorns on his back, but this happened thirty or forty chapters later.

……

With nowhere else to go, Su Qiaoman naturally had no choice but to seek help from her sycophant.

If it weren't for Lu Chengzhou's intervention, she would now have two powerful admirers, Qin Ke and A-Zhou.

Unfortunately, Qin Ke's connection has been severed.

Lu Chengzhou also had an attitude of "I will never be a simp".

Su Qiaoman did consider asking Lin Chen for help, but Lin Chen didn't want to have anything to do with her outside of school, so how could she possibly succeed in getting help?

then……

She had no choice but to swallow her pride and ask A-Zhou for help.

After all, Ah Zhou and she were childhood sweethearts.

A quick analysis of the current situation reveals that Su Qiaoman's predicament is even more difficult than in the original novel.

After all, she was truly isolated and helpless.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Chengzhou decided to give in and invited her in.

It wasn't that he was overly sympathetic, but rather that he was giving her some face out of consideration for her status as the female lead.

"I can't do this favor myself," Lu Chengzhou thought to himself. "This favor should be done by Lin Chen."

Otherwise, how can we achieve a harmonious outcome as soon as possible?

117. I will use both soft and hard tactics on the male lead.

In the bedroom.

Hearing Su Qiaoman's voice outside, Xu Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew what she was afraid of.

She was afraid of encountering Meng Wanyu, that woman who exuded a queen-like aura.

This fear made her break out in a cold sweat even though she hadn't seen anyone.

This is probably what it means to be born with a high position of power and control.

In other words, if she didn't really like Senior Lu very much, why would she have come to his house with him?

This is clearly her selfish motive.

That kind of selfish motive that has nothing to do with studying.

This selfishness caused her extreme inner turmoil.

She tried more than once to convince herself to give up the fight, but she couldn't.

As long as Meng Wanyu hasn't officially started a relationship with Lu Chengzhou, she absolutely cannot willingly withdraw.

"Since it's Su Qiaoman who's here, shouldn't I go out and see her?"

Xu Qian unconsciously rolled up the corner of her clothes.

……

A few minutes later.

After a quick wash and some grooming, Xu Qian stepped out of her room.

Su Qiaoman, still sitting on the sofa, was in shock.

He didn't even notice that there was a girl in front of him.

Lu Chengzhou brought out two cups of hot tea from the kitchen.

He hadn't originally prepared anything for Xu Qian, but seeing her come out, he felt bad about not giving her one.

Ugh!

Being a gentleman isn't easy.

There are always some small sacrifices to be made.

"Su, we meet again."

Xu Qian spoke first.

Su Qiaoman wiped away her tears, looked up, and glanced at her.

I was stunned for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, her gaze turned to Lu Chengzhou.

Lu Chengzhou offered her no explanation.

Su Qiaoman lowered her head again and gripped the hem of her skirt tightly.

"A-Zhou, what I'm about to say is only for you, okay?"

"can."
