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

As soon as he took it out, Lu Chengzhou smelled a strong odor of alcohol.

Looking down, I saw a bag of gummy bears lying in my hand.

"Guess where I got this thing?" Lin Chen asked mysteriously.

"How could I possibly guess that?" Lu Chengzhou frowned.

But deep down, I already knew the answer.

Besides Su Qiaoman, who else could Lin Chen pay so much attention to?

“This was given to me by Su Qiaoman’s roommate. She said it was something Su Qiaoman kept in her schoolbag.”

Lin Chen chuckled.

"You should thank me, otherwise this thing could have knocked you out in a minute."

"This has been soaked in strong liquor; it's commonly known as the 'Drunken Bear of Erluosi'!"

"A deadly weapon, an absolute deadly weapon, you understand?"

Hearing him say that, Lu Chengzhou felt that he had to think more highly of him.

Lin Chen, a man with a narcissistic streak, saw this thing and his first thought wasn't "Su Qiaoman is going to use it against me," but rather "Su Qiaoman is going to use it against my brother."

It seems that under his tutelage, Lin Chen's IQ has indeed improved significantly.

"So, I saved you this time, right?" Lin Chen hooked his arm around his shoulder and looked at him with a smile.

"Well, it is."

Lu Chengzhou really couldn't bear to tell Lin Chen that he had a wine tasting gift from the system.

Whether you give it to him directly or hide it in his juice, he can always smell the alcohol in it.

So, knowing that it contains alcohol, he would naturally try to refuse it.

Did you intend to ambush him with the wine?

That's pure nonsense.

"Alright, since I saved you once, you have to help me once too."

Lin Chen then got down to business.

"Over there at White Moon Waterfall, there's a pool of water. I'm going to..."

Are you planning a 2.0 version of the classic "falling into the water" scene?

Meeting Lu Chengzhou's puzzled gaze, Lin Chen rolled his eyes.

"No, I'm planning to spend some time alone with Su Qiaoman. Take your women with you and don't get in my way, understand?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chengzhou laughed.

"It's that simple?"

"of course not."

Lin Chen let out a breath and then looked at Lu Chengzhou seriously again.

"I need you to sacrifice your image and make Su Qiaoman lose interest in you."

……

Lu Chengzhou didn't care about sacrificing his image.

He has never really cared much about his image.

As long as a harmonious ending can be achieved as soon as possible, liberating his life, he would be willing to do it even if he had to strip naked and run around the White Moon Pool three times.

However, Lin Chen probably didn't really want him to strip naked and run around the pool, right?

Lin Chen said, "I've thought it through carefully. No matter which woman you're with, Su Qiaoman will never give you up easily. But, if you're in love with a man..."

Lu Chengzhou immediately interrupted him: "Sorry, I'm straight."

Lin Chen patted him on the shoulder: "So what I'm saying is, sacrifice your image for a bit."

Lu Chengzhou looked at him with suspicion: "What do you want me to do?"

Lin Chen chuckled: "You pretend you like me and want to pursue me, OK?"

Lu Chengzhou's eyes widened instantly.

This is fucking...

This is hardly a sacrifice of image.

This is absolutely maddening!

To be fair, this was a tactic he had never imagined before.

This approach could indeed shatter all of Su Qiaoman's illusions about him in an instant.

"But, I'm afraid my other romantic prospects will also be cut off, right?" Lu Chengzhou thought with a bit of despair, "Sigh, being a male supporting character is really tough."

suddenly!

He widened his eyes again and pulled away from Lin Chen's hand on his shoulder.

"Lin Chen, you're not actually interested in me, are you?"

"fart."

Lin Chen's attitude changed instantly.

"If it weren't for the fact that you've been so helpful, I would have killed you long ago. Why would I have kept you alive until now?"

Ok.

Judging from Lin Chen's reaction, he is definitely a typical straight man.

The two maintained a considerable distance from each other and continued on their way.

"So, where did you learn this outrageous idea from?"

"I recently read a book called 'My Good Brother, I Really Didn't Want to Seduce You'."

"It doesn't sound like a serious book."

"Hmph, there's no future in being serious."

……

The rugged mountain road gradually came to an end.

Baiyue Waterfall was once very magnificent, but now only a small stream of water remains, hanging between two mountains.

The pool at the foot of the mountain was crystal clear.

In the pond, there were many small goldfish. They swayed in the sunlight, their golden and red scales shimmering, adding a touch of liveliness to this open mountain field.

"There are about a hundred fish in the pool, all seemingly swimming in mid-air without anything to rely on..."

Lin Chen stood beside Su Qiaoman and recited two lines.

Su Qiaoman glanced at him.

Then, he squatted down again and continued to tear pieces of bread to feed the fish.

She had no interest in Lin Chen's poetic and artistic sensibilities.

At this moment, Meng Wanyu and Xu Qian were sitting on the opposite side of the pool.

Xu Qian tried to leave her side, but Meng Wanyu only needed one look to intimidate her.

Xu Qian felt a chill run down her spine and into her heart.

She looked around for Lu Xuechang's figure, but couldn't see anything.

Lu Chengzhou was leaning against a towering tree, rubbing his forehead, gathering his emotions.

"Lin Chen, actually, the person I like the most is you... Ugh."

"No way."

"These lines are absolutely disgusting."

Lu Chengzhou patted his face.

I forced myself to suppress the urge to vomit.

"In order to get rid of them as soon as possible and enjoy life freely, I'll sacrifice my image a little."

"Young Master Lin, I fell for you at first sight... Ugh! I love your heroic figure when you play basketball... Ugh..."

"Sigh, why is the survival path of the male supporting character so difficult!"

Lu Chengzhou still couldn't bring himself to deliver such disgusting lines.

For a straight man like him, this is not about sacrificing his image, but about burning his life out.

Not to mention having to say such things while facing Lin Chen's face.

Even if he just closes his eyes and imagines it, he'll have nightmares.

and many more……

Eyes closed?

Lu Chengzhou suddenly felt that he might have a solution.

"If you imagine Lin Chen as Miss Meng, it doesn't seem so difficult."

"No, it doesn't necessarily have to be Miss Meng. Junior Sister Xu Qian, or even Jiang Aiyu, would all work."

"Ah, imagining it as confessing to a beautiful girl is much better."

After barely managing to compose himself, Lu Chengzhou took out the props that Lin Chen had prepared for him.

Looking at this extravagantly designed sapphire ring, he recalled Lin Chen's words: "Don't even think about swallowing my family heirloom!"

"joke."

Lu Chengzhou snorted coldly.

"I am, after all, a gentleman who loves money, but I acquire it in a proper way."
