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

He gave Su Qiaoman a wink, hoping she would give him some face at this moment.

Su Qiaoman sighed, picked up a bit of noodles with her fork, and chewed it listlessly.

That means we've eaten.

This can be considered as giving Lin Chen enough face.

I'm full.

Su Qiaoman put down the remaining instant noodles and turned to leave.

Lin Chen watched her departing figure, feeling a mix of emotions he couldn't quite describe.

He realized that this woman was only capable of sharing happiness, not hardship.

This is probably why she was always unwilling to commit to a relationship with Lu Chengzhou.

Lu Chengzhou's poverty was not what she wanted.

She is pursuing Lu Chengzhou so desperately just to regain the feeling of being cared for so meticulously by him.

She doesn't actually like Lu Chengzhou.

It's even less likely that she wanted to live a peaceful, impoverished life with Lu Chengzhou.

"Sigh. Why do I find women like that so attractive?"

Lin Chen didn't quite understand his own feelings.

"Perhaps this is a tragic fate."

……

at this time.

Xu Qian was also keeping an eye on what was happening here.

The aroma of barbecue wafted over from Meng Wanyu's side.

Everyone in the camp was secretly swallowing hard.

However, no one dared to come up and ask for food.

Xu Qian's situation was slightly better; she brought a self-heating hot pot, as well as some pre-washed and chopped vegetables and meat.

It's cold in the mountains, so they can be preserved for at least three days.

"Hello, Xu Qian."

Seeing Xu Qian eating self-heating hot pot, the girls in her group came over.

"Could I spend some money to buy some food from you?"

The girl said she wanted to spend money, but she actually had no intention of paying at all; she was purely planning to get something for free.

Xu Qian realized that she wanted to get something for free, but she still shared half of her hotpot with her.

"Here, be careful, it's hot."

"Thank you so much, by the way... money..."

"No need," Xu Qian smiled slightly. "I can't finish all of this anyway."

As she ate, the girl's gaze fell on the milk tea that Xu Qian had made.

Xu Qian smiled and gave her share to the other person.

"Be careful, it's hot."

"Thank you so much, Xu Qian!"

"You're welcome."

Being helpful is a quality ingrained in Xu Qian's bones.

After all, he has a father like Teacher Xu, who has the demeanor of a great hero.

However, others who saw the girl's behavior were rather disdainful.

When Xu Qian went to the restroom, some people started criticizing the girl for not paying for her food.

Throughout the journey, Xu Qian took good care of others.

You could say he has a very good reputation.

Now, seeing the kind-hearted person suffer a loss, everyone is a little disgusted.

"None of us brought much food, how can you take advantage of us like this?"

"Exactly, self-heating hot pot isn't cheap either."

"Let's share some of the costs with them."

The girl being criticized blushed and her tone became impatient: "What are you all arguing about? Xu Qian hasn't said anything, and you're already getting agitated!"

Those who criticized her spoke in increasingly harsh tones.

"Heh, who's really getting impatient?"

"You've hit a nerve, aren't you embarrassed?"

"I really don't know why some people are so shameless."

"Maybe he just likes to bully honest people."

Even someone with a thick skin couldn't stand being criticized like this.

"Humph!"

The girl who was being criticized threw down her chopsticks and disposable paper bowl, turned around and left.

Behind the scenes, there are still people pointing fingers and gossiping.

She grew angrier the more she thought about it, and sullenly walked straight into the jungle.

By the time she realized she was far from the main group and could no longer hear the accusations, it was already completely dark.

In the dark primeval forest, eerie bird calls could be heard everywhere.

The dark path showed no signs of any living creatures having walked on it.

Deep in the grass, there were even things taller than her.

The girl turned around blankly, wanting to walk away, but seemed to be walking further and further away.

The towering trees completely obstructed her sense of direction, like a giant cage that had her trapped.

Horror stories and movie scenes about forests began to replay in her mind.

In an instant, fear spread rapidly through her heart like a poison.

"It's over, it's all ......"

She was muttering to herself.

"Help! Help!"

At first, she only called for help softly, but when she found that no one responded, she raised her voice and started shouting in a crying tone.

……

late at night.

Lu Chengzhou had secretly placed the two locators he had obtained from Meng Wanyu into Lin Chen and Su Qiaoman's personal belongings.

Furthermore, considering the storyline of getting lost in the jungle, he specifically sent them a message telling them not to wander around.

Upon receiving this message, Lin Chen scoffed.

"Do you think I'm a child? How could I possibly wander around like this?"

As he spoke, he looked at Su Qiaoman again.

"Su Qiaoman, let's go to the mountaintop to see the stars!"

Su Qiaoman shook her head.

After receiving Lu Chengzhou's message, she decided that she would not go anywhere for the next seven days.

Anyway, he was just drifting through life, occasionally exchanging a few words with Lin Chen.

"I'm going to sleep now."

She was in the same tent as another senior high school girl.

Lin Chen really wanted to sleep in the same tent as her, but he knew perfectly well that this suggestion was impossible to accept, so he could only force a smile and escort Su Qiaoman to the girls' accommodation area.

"If you can't sleep tonight, I can play games with you," Lin Chen added as a special reminder.

"Hmm." Su Qiaoman responded coldly and went straight into the tent.

Lin Chen sighed and returned to his tent area, feeling dejected.

At this moment, Lu Chengzhou was sitting in the best spot with a view, gazing into the distance.

In his hand, he was holding a cup of freshly brewed tea.

Honestly, the night view in this place is really good.

Just sitting here for a while gave me a feeling of being purified, both physically and mentally.

Lu Chengzhou felt that he was starting to love this place.

"I said, is your idea really reliable?"

Lin Chen walked over to him somewhat angrily and sat down in the empty seat next to him.

"When Su Qiaoman heard about my illness, she was only willing to say a few words to me. She still doesn't want to date me."

Hearing him say that, Lu Chengzhou turned his head and glanced at him.

He sighed helplessly.

This male lead is indeed too straightforward; he has no future.

"It can't be that fast! Pursuing a girl is a gradual process!"
