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

Now, he has actually encountered such a formidable opponent. And not in Jingzhou, but in the small place of Yicheng.

He had a vague feeling that Lu Chengzhou had deliberately lost to him.

The purpose was to preserve his reputation.

He had to admit that Lu Chengzhou's thoughtfulness deeply moved him.

Mr. Zhuang forced a smile and said, "Young man, what's your name?"

"His name is Lu Chengzhou."

Su Qiaoman rushed to answer the questions.

The way she looked at Lu Chengzhou was tinged with admiration for a strong person.

Lin Chen scoffed.

This time, Lu Chengzhou stole the spotlight from him, but he didn't feel any sourness.

An opponent like Mr. Zhuang is indeed not someone that ordinary people can defeat, including himself, who doesn't think he can beat him.

Lu Chengzhou was still honorable despite his defeat.

"You flatter me, Mr. Zhuang."

"From now on, you don't need to call me Mr. Zhuang, just call me Brother Ming."

Mr. Zhuang stood up and put on his coat.

He called to the bodyguards behind him once again.

Have them hand over the money box.

He stretched out his thick arm, rummaged through the box, and pulled out a wad of cash.

Without even counting, he simply tossed it to Lu Chengzhou.

"Take this and buy some tea. Until we meet again."

After saying that, he led his men away in a grand procession.

……

Lu Chengzhou roughly estimated that the stack of cash in his hand was at least ten thousand yuan.

That's one of the advantages of playing games with smart people.

Even if you make concessions, the other party will still know what's going on.

This windfall was earned very comfortably.

Lu Chengzhou immediately decided to order a seafood feast when he got home that night.

As for the pile of cash in front of Su Qiaoman, there was even more of it.

She carefully collected them one by one, put them in a black plastic bag, and then put them into her schoolbag.

Lin Chen looked at their greedy expressions and snorted disdainfully.

Only then did he remember his true purpose for coming here.

He wanted to keep an eye on Su Qiaoman and find an opportunity to spend time alone with her to cultivate their relationship!

So he quickly gave Lu Chengzhou a wink.

"Lu Chengzhou, didn't you say you were in a hurry to get home to feed the cat?"

"um, yes."

Lu Chengzhou understood immediately.

I stood up, ready to leave.

"Ah Zhou, didn't you say your cat misses me? Take me to see it."

Su Qiaoman's words made Lu Chengzhou tremble.

He sensed a murderous aura!

This is fucking...

You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want.

Lin Chen's expression changed instantly upon hearing these words.

“Lu Chengzhou, you…”

Lu Chengzhou had no choice but to make up an excuse:

"Actually, I'm not going to feed the cat right now. I'm going to use the restroom. You two wait here for a bit, I'll be right back."

After receiving their nods, Lu Chengzhou pretended to go to the bathroom and secretly slipped away through the back door.

He's already given the male lead the opportunity; now it's up to him to see how he performs...

146. Teacher, I want this.

Lin Chen and Su Qiaoman sat facing each other.

They remained silent.

Lin Chen was originally full of confidence and knowledge, but now that Lu Chengzhou was no longer there, he was speechless.

Su Qiaoman wasn't sitting with him; she was waiting for Lu Chengzhou.

The thought of this made Lin Chen's expression so gloomy it could drip water.

But he had nowhere to vent his anger...

Lu Chengzhou doesn't like Su Qiaoman, so theoretically he's not a rival in love. Moreover, Lu Chengzhou often helps them get together and gives him a lot of advice; theoretically, he's practically a wingman!

Lu Chengzhou performed exceptionally well in his presence.

Lin Chen had a very high level of affection for him and couldn't bring herself to be angry with him.

He took a few sips of strong tea and then secretly glanced at Su Qiaoman a couple more times.

Su Qiaoman only looked in the direction Lu Chengzhou had left, not even sparing him a glance.

……

An hour later.

Lu Chengzhou still hasn't returned.

Lin Chen was almost full from drinking tea.

My stomach is making a clattering sound.

When people are nervous, they tend to drink more hot water.

However, thanks to the hot water, some of his thoughts returned to his mind.

He realized that feelings are something that cannot be forced.

However, people have a very despicable flaw: they like to force things.

Lin Chen sat there awkwardly, his inner turmoil twisted like a rope.

He tried to say something to Su Qiaoman, but before he could speak, she got up and prepared to leave.

"Su Qiaoman, do you dislike me that much?"

Lin Chen could no longer suppress his resentment.

"Do you know that without me, you would have been driven to your death by debt collectors? I was the one who stole your family's IOU, not Lu Chengzhou! The person you should thank is me!"

Su Qiaoman was initially quite calm.

When he brought up the debt, she gritted her teeth, turned around, and glared at him fiercely.

He said nothing, yet it seemed as if he said everything.

Lin Chen belatedly realized that he shouldn't have said those things.

However, it was too late.

"Young Master Lin, we are not on the same path. You should stay away from me."

After saying that, she walked away expressionlessly.

Watching her graceful figure disappear into the distance, Lin Chen felt a sense of daze again.

In his eyes, Su Qiaoman's charm seemed to have increased exponentially.

Is it really that good to be rejected?

He scratched his hair in frustration.

"Lin Chen, you're a bit of a pervert," he thought to himself.

……

On Lu Chengzhou's side.

He was already sitting in his usual spot, resting his head on his arm, with his eyes closed, trying to relax.

He has already retrieved Meng Wanyu's skirt.

To his surprise, Jiang Aiyu actually helped wash and dry it.

This thoughtfulness deeply moved Lu Chengzhou.

What moved Lu Chengzhou the most was not her thoughtfulness, but her purity.

Aside from her, the other girls would inevitably expect something in return for helping him. However, Jiang Aiyu almost never asked for anything, and she had no interest in flirting with Lu Chengzhou.

After wandering through the routines of other pretty girls, you'll find yourself meeting a pure and innocent Miss Jiang who is obedient, well-behaved, and doesn't cause trouble. That would make you feel very comfortable.

Lu Chengzhou suddenly thought of something and sat up abruptly.

His gaze fell on the paper bag containing the skirt.

If I remember correctly, when he took it back from Meng Wanyu, it didn't seem to be this bulging.

Could it be that Jiang Aiyu added something to it...?
