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

Lin Chen was so flattered by Lu Chengzhou that he was completely overwhelmed.

He almost started to believe that playing video games was a serious business!

Mr. Lin patted Lu Chengzhou on the shoulder with satisfaction.

"Lu Chengzhou, you're quite good. After graduation, would you consider working for our Lin Group?"

"I definitely will if I have the chance."

Lu Chengzhou's perfunctory remarks came out off the cuff.

Mr. Lin turned his head and patted his son's shoulder again.

"Remember to learn a lot from Lu Chengzhou!"

"Yes, I remember."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Today's events were clearly thanks to Lu Chengzhou.

Using his previous excuse about someone else playing for him to convince his dad wouldn't be as effective.

He might be grounded again.

Now he not only doesn't have to be grounded, but he's also allowed to participate in esports regularly.

Therefore, the way he looked at Lu Chengzhou changed.

He hadn't considered Lu Chengzhou a true brother before, but now, Lu Chengzhou's image in his mind had transcended that of a brother; he was now a mentor in life.

This mentor-like aura completely overshadowed the negative impression Lu Chengzhou had of using the jade pendant to blackmail him and repeatedly exploiting him in this competition.

Even Lu Chengzhou himself probably finds it hard to imagine how great his image has become in Lin Chen's mind.

……

After seeing Master Lin off.

Lin Chen insisted that Lu Chengzhou stay and participate in the celebration dinner later.

Lu Chengzhou glanced at the time and sighed inwardly.

It's almost his bedtime.

Just as he was about to refuse, he heard the voice of the female lead, Su Qiaoman.

“A-Zhou”.

Su Qiaoman's gaze lingered on Lin Chen for a few seconds before settling on Lu Chengzhou.

Lu Chengzhou looked at her warily.

Originally, Su Qiaoman planned to take out the gummy bears from her pocket and hand them to Azhou, but after a brief moment of thought, she decided to try a different approach.

In her twisted mind, there was a stubborn belief that "any means are justified in achieving one's goals."

In the original novel, after being abused by the male lead for a long time, she did a lot of unbelievable things.

In the past, this behavior was called "venting after an emotional breakdown," but now it seems to be what is known as "going dark."

"Brother Lin Chen, you did a really good job today."

Su Qiaoman turned her gaze back to Lin Chen.

Her lips curled up slightly, revealing her signature innocent and warm smile.

Lin Chen was used to her coldness and was not used to her gentleness for a moment, so he couldn't help but take a step back.

"I heard there's a celebration banquet afterwards. Would you like me to attend, Brother Lin Chen?"

"Stop laughing, your laughter is scaring me a little."

Lin Chen rubbed his arms and shivered.

Su Qiaoman clenched her fist.

They quickly let go again.

She was still smiling, but her smile was slightly more subdued than before.

"Brother Lin Chen, that's really too much."

Lin Chen turned his face away, pretending not to hear what she said.

"Come to the dinner party if you'd like."

Before he finished speaking, the Meng sisters came out from behind the screen.

"So, we can participate too?"

"Ah, of course..."

Jiang Aiyu, who was sitting next to Lin Chen with her head down looking at the menu, turned around and looked at him.

"And what about me?"

Upon seeing this face, Lin Chen's reaction intensified.

Quickly retreat three meters!

Lu Chengzhou patted him on the shoulder to calm him down.

"You can't! You're absolutely not allowed to come!" Lin Chen shouted. "Security, come here right now and get her out!"

174. You won't get the chance to steal.

"I really don't understand."

Jiang Aiyu wiped the knife in her hand, looking serious and worried.

At her feet were two bodyguards she had just taken down.

The way she took down her opponent was also quite gruesome.

Judging from the two pale-faced bodyguards clutching their private parts, those last few seconds must have been the darkest few seconds of their lives.

"I really don't understand why I'm not allowed to attend the banquet."

Jiang Aiyu raised her head and glanced at Lin Chen.

At this moment, Lin Chen's face was also deathly pale.

However, he did not cover his vital parts.

He only witnessed Jiang Aiyu swinging a stool leg at the two bodyguards.

Then, the two bodyguards collapsed.

Neither of them expected that this girl, who seemed like someone they could just drag away, would suddenly fight back.

Caught completely off guard, he was taken down instantly!

Of course, the most frightening scene was not the bodyguard falling down, but Jiang Aiyu's extremely calm expression after doing this.

If Jiang Aiyu were a man, he wouldn't be making such a fuss.

However, Jiang Aiyu is a girl.

She was a sickly-looking girl!

She was the girl who almost married him!

"you……"

"If you want to come, then come."

"I don't mind..."

Lin Chen's words were already somewhat insincere.

While at the Lin family's house, Jiang Aiyu often maintained a blank expression, but she never showed any sign of being likely to hurt anyone.

But things are completely different now.

Lin Chen even had the illusion that he had been spared from death by her.

After wiping the knife clean, Jiang Aiyu breathed a sigh of relief.

She placed it carefully on the plate and even adjusted the angle to make the whole set of tableware look more aesthetically pleasing.

He muttered to himself.

"It's finally clean now, and it looks much prettier..."

Meng Wanyu and her sister exchanged a glance.

There was a hint of contemplation in their eyes.

This enemy is far more dangerous than Su Qiaoman.

I really don't know whether it's lucky or unlucky that Teacher Lu was chosen by her.

"teacher."

Jiang Aiyu's gaze fell on Lu Chengzhou.

She gently bit her lip.

She bit off a piece of dead skin that made her feel very uncomfortable.

However, I used too much force, which caused my lips to bleed.

"hiss……"

The slight pain made her frown slightly.

However, her attention was still focused on Lu Chengzhou alone.

"Teacher, do you want me to go?"

She tilted her head slightly and asked the question softly.

……

This time, everyone's eyes were on Lu Chengzhou.
