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

To be precise, it should be said that they haven't given up on their readily available perverse interests.

“We each provide a suspect, and I’ll have my detective investigate. The person who guesses correctly can make the loser do something.”

"Teacher Lu, let's start writing the answers."

……

As it turned out, both of them wrote the answer as Su Qiaoman.

The game ended on the spot.

Meng Wanyu laughed out loud.

"I never imagined that I would have such a high level of understanding with Teacher Lu."

"Yes, I didn't expect that either."

Lu Chengzhou twirled his pen, casually responding to Meng Wanyu's words.

He suspected that Su Qiaoman was behind it, but he found it too incredible.

In the original novel, when Su Qiaoman learned that the Lin family was her creditor family, she was heartbroken and left in tears.

She never hit the male lead!

But now, the plot is unfolding in a completely unpredictable way.

She actually made a move against Lin Chen.

Regardless of why she targeted Lin Chen, Lu Chengzhou felt that this was not a good sign.

"The relationship between these two has escalated from one of exploiting others to one of taking a beating."

"Is there any way to salvage this relationship?"

"Ugh, my head hurts."

When Lu Chengzhou thought about their future, it was as if he saw his own future.

He felt his future was bleak once again.

No, we still need to think of another way to salvage the situation.

……

Lu Chengzhou took advantage of a break between classes, while Lin Chen went to the restroom, to call him to a secluded corner and ask him about the specific circumstances of the battlefield at that time.

At first, Lin Chen remained silent.

When Lu Chengzhou mentioned Zhao Facai, Lin Chen's expression changed.

He gritted his teeth and cursed, "That bastard..."

Lu Chengzhou nodded in agreement.

Then, Lu Chengzhou asked whether Zhao Facai had failed to explain the script clearly or whether he had failed to follow the script's procedures.

Of course, everything was blamed on that bastard Zhao Facai.

In Lu Chengzhou's words, Lin Chen was definitely innocent. After all, Young Master Lin was so smart and had such high martial arts skills, it was impossible for him to mess things up.

Hearing Lu Chengzhou say that, Lin Chen's expression softened slightly.

He started talking more.

Filled with anger, he gave Zhao Facai a severe scolding and gave a rambling account of what had happened.

Finally, when it came to Su Qiaoman, Lin Chen was clearly indignant.

"Do you think she knows anything about right and wrong? If it weren't for me, she would have been driven to suicide by those debt collectors long ago! It's one thing for her not to be grateful to me, but she also dares to give me attitude."

Hearing Lin Chen say this, Lu Chengzhou understood about 70-80% of what was going on.

There's nothing wrong with a hero rescuing a damsel in distress.

Someone must have gotten there first, playing the hero before Lin Chen.

There are very few people in the entire school who can subdue this group of hooligans in such a short time.

Lu Chengzhou quickly deduced the candidate—Teacher Xu!

The truth immediately came to light.

Lu Chengzhou felt a little regretful.

It's unbelievable that such a perfect script would be ruined by a perfect man.

Where can I go to seek justice?

However, since things have already come to this point, it's time to think of solutions.

Lu Chengzhou couldn't possibly stand by and watch the two of them head down the same old path of tragic love.

"Well then, Young Master Lin, I have a brilliant plan. Would you like to hear it?"

137. Chasing girls requires talent.

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment.

"What brilliant plan?"

"It's a brilliant plan that can get your relationship with Su Qiaoman back on track."

As Lu Chengzhou said this, he patted him on the shoulder.

Lower your voice.

Let me whisper a devil's word~

"You must be eager to get your jade pendant back as soon as possible, right?"

Lin Chen took a deep breath.

He clenched his fist.

Yes, he needs to get his jade pendant back as soon as possible.

Su Qiaoman's fate didn't matter, but the jade pendant was very important.

Lu Chengzhou continued, "Then, Young Master Lin should know what Su Qiaoman lacks most right now, right?"

Lin Chen nodded: "She's short of money."

Lu Chengzhou nodded: "Yes, she's short of money. But you can't just throw money at a woman without thinking; that will only backfire."

Blindly throwing money around and giving without any limits—that's what a simp is!

Su Qiaoman's attitude towards sycophants is self-evident, isn't it?

Lin Chen became frustrated: "Then tell me, what should I do?"

Lu Chengzhou: "You need to give her money when she needs it most, understand?"

Lin Chen curled his lip: "Isn't this just the same old hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress trope?"

Lu Chengzhou chuckled: "It's an old trick, but it's really effective."

Lin Chen glanced at him, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"I'm asking you, how do you know so much?"

Even though none of them had ever been in a serious relationship, Lu Chengzhou acted like a seasoned pro, constantly coming up with outrageous ideas.

Lu Chengzhou still had a smiling face.

Why do you know so much?

Please! Do you think pursuing girls doesn't require talent?

He's just naturally gifted, there's nothing you can do about it.

Moreover, Lu Chengzhou is someone who has read the original novel. He knows all the plot tropes like the back of his hand.

Therefore, under the current circumstances, he still doesn't feel very panicked.

If the male lead follows his instructions, he can still be saved.

……

at the same time.

In the women's restroom.

Meng Wanyu and Su Qiaoman were also having similar talks.

When they were in the classroom, Meng Wanyu was relatively easy to talk to in front of Lu Chengzhou.

At this point, her demonic nature was fully revealed.

As usual, she had the area cleared, leaving only herself and Su Qiaoman to talk.

The empty bathroom still smelled of disinfectant and a faint fishy odor.

Meng Wanyu opened the window to let the unpleasant smell dissipate some of it.

"Tell me, how did you beat Lin Chen?"

Su Qiaoman hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth after all.

After listening to her analysis, Meng Wanyu couldn't help but look at her with more respect: "Not bad, Su Qiaoman, I didn't expect you to be so clever."

Su Qiaoman clenched the hem of her dress, lowered her head, and remained silent.

She didn't think Meng Wanyu was genuinely praising her.

Of course, she didn't expect Meng Wanyu to praise her.

"So, you didn't think about the consequences of hitting Lin Chen?"

Meng Wanyu sneered and looked her up and down.

"To put it simply, with your vision and abilities, the highest stepping stone you can reach in this lifetime is Lin Chen."

"If you're not thinking about holding onto him tightly, what are you thinking about?"

"Do you still have any illusions about Lu Chengzhou?"
