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

She saw a little bit of bright red blood seeping out from between Lin Chen's fingers!

Su Qiaoman was so frightened that she moved to the side.

"Cough cough cough..."

Pretending not to want her to see it, Lin Chen quickly wiped the bright red blood off his hands.

However, Su Qiaoman had clearly already seen it.

"what happened to you?"

"It's nothing, he might just be dying soon."

Lin Chen gave a miserable smile.

Su Qiaoman's heart skipped a beat: "How is that possible? You've always been...full of energy..."

She started to say something, but then she couldn't continue.

Lin Chen started coughing again.

"A patient's emotions are not so easy to control. I hope you can forgive my previous actions, considering that I am dying."

"Stop talking."

Su Qiaoman frowned, her hand trembling as she reached out and patted his back.

I won't blame you.

Although she has many cunning schemes, her nature isn't inherently bad.

She was at least given the "pure and innocent" persona.

Seeing the man she once loved, now terminally ill, she couldn't possibly remain indifferent.

Lin Chen could clearly feel her long-lost tenderness.

He was overjoyed and silently gave a thumbs-up to Lu Chengzhou, who had given him the idea.

However, he still had to keep up the act.

He had to finish reading the lines that Lu Chengzhou had assigned him!

"The doctor said I originally had a year left, but because of that fall into the water, my lungs... cough cough cough..."

It’s over.

He was so focused on coughing that he stopped.

I forgot my lines later!

However, at least his cough managed to get through it.

"I'm sorry, Brother Lin Chen."

Su Qiaoman's eyes reddened.

The incident of Lin Chen falling into the water was a thorn in Su Qiaoman's side.

It was one of the few sources of her guilt.

She had initially doubted Lin Chen's statement, but after hearing Lin Chen recount the incident of falling into the water, her guilt overflowed again, quickly filling her entire heart.

The thought of doubt was also unconsciously put aside by her.

At this point, she would be very likely to agree to any request Lin Chen made.

However, Lin Chen still kept in mind Lu Chengzhou's teachings: At this time, never take advantage of the situation and never ask to become a couple, as this will arouse the other party's suspicion!

"Soon, the school will organize a camping trip to Yunling."

Lin Chen smiled gently and spoke slowly.

"Yunling is a beautiful place with clear waters and lush mountains; it's the fairyland of my dreams."

"Su Qiaoman, may I invite you to join us?"

"I hope to have you by my side in the final moments of my life."

"Even just as friends, is that okay?"

These words still sounded pretentious and fake, but Su Qiaoman agreed because of her guilt.

That night, she clearly felt her heart wavering.

She couldn't help but wonder if Lin Chen would take the opportunity to ask her to be his girlfriend, would she still firmly refuse?

If she refuses, will she live with the guilt that Lin Chen has caused her for the rest of her life?

……

Lu Chengzhou, who was secretly observing from a distance, heard the system notification.

[Due to your influence, the male protagonist's character has been greatly improved, evolving from a 'brainless brute' to a 'slightly cunning' character.]

[Acquire Life Skill: Wine Tasting]

You will be able to distinguish the variety and age of wine more easily than the average person, and you will be more sensitive to the aroma of alcohol.

"They only changed the male lead, not the original plot."

Lu Chengzhou stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

However, this did provide him with some new inspiration.

Improving the character designs of the male and female leads, and changing the plot, will have the same effect.

After all, a male protagonist who is a brainless brute, no matter how excellent the plot, will still make people feel uncomfortable.

“The Lin Chen of the past would never have listened to my advice and faked a serious illness.”

Lu Chengzhou tapped his palm.

"It seems that I made the right choice by choosing the male lead's brother route."

"Instead of being enemies with the male lead, why not turn them into friends?"

Thinking of this, he smiled knowingly.

However, as he laughed, he remembered the embarrassing plot that was about to unfold.

In the original novel, it was not Meng Wanyu who advocated the trip to Yunling, but Lin Chen himself.

After arriving in Yunling, the week-long camping trip was fraught with difficulties.

The biggest disaster was brought about by the male protagonist.

To demonstrate his competence and to enjoy some alone time with the female lead, the male lead secretly took her away from the main group to explore the deep mountains. As a result, they got lost and were trapped in the mountains for two days and one night.

In this isolated and helpless environment, their feelings for each other did indeed grow stronger.

However, the problem is that they are in a sadomasochistic relationship.

Two days and one night later, the person who rescued them was a beautiful village girl named Xiangcao who had gone into the mountains to gather herbs.

Xiangcao fell in love with Lin Chen at first sight and took extra care of him.

As the female lead, Su Qiaoman, how could she not be jealous when she saw others taking such good care of her man?

What followed was the usual love-hate relationship trope.

This whole series of tactics completely destroyed any goodwill gained from the deep mountain adventure!

"It's quite easy to avoid this plot."

Lu Chengzhou has at least ten different ways to prevent the male and female protagonists from encountering Xiangcao, this random girl.

However, the most direct method is to make them avoid the storyline of exploring the deep mountains.

Even if it's unavoidable, we have to get them out as quickly as possible.

"Should I install a GPS tracker on each of them?"

Thinking this, Lu Chengzhou lowered his head and glanced at the lucky cat hanging around his neck.

"Um……"

I've gradually gotten used to having this thing on my neck.

At this moment, Lu Chengzhou still didn't know that what Miss Meng told him was a lie.

He still believed that the device on his neck was a real GPS tracking system.

"Miss Meng is more skilled at making this kind of thing. Let me ask her for advice."

With that in mind, Lu Chengzhou took the initiative to send a message to Meng Wanyu.

177. Did I come at the wrong time?

"what?"

Meng Wanyu looked at the message that suddenly popped up on her phone and found it rather strange.

It's really rare that Teacher Lu would take the initiative to send her a message.

Lu Chengzhou: "I want two discreet pendants with GPS tracking systems. Can you make those?"

This thing looks a bit outrageous.

But it's actually quite easy to do.

Meng Wanyu has many of these little gadgets.

However, she usually uses it on targets of hostile forces.

As a cunning businessman, one sometimes has to resort to shameless means to gain more benefits.

Of course, the other party thought the same way.

Meng Wanyu once found items like pornographic devices and small video recording equipment among the gifts others gave her.

It's a matter of mutual benefit.

"Yes, if Teacher Lu needs it, I'd be happy to give it to you. Just come and pick it up after the event."

As she spoke, Meng Wanyu was squeezing the gummy bears she had stolen from Su Qiaoman.
