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

When they occasionally encounter an uphill section, the two of them push the cart together.

With Lu Chengzhou's strength, it's not just about pushing the car up; he could probably even turn it into a ground-based flying machine.

However, he didn't want to be too ostentatious, so he just pushed it slowly.

At that moment, Vanilla suddenly whispered to him:

"Please beg for me later, don't let my grandpa punish me! As long as my grandpa doesn't punish me, I'll do whatever you want."

195. Hot pot smells so good, I can't resist!

They arrived at Vanilla's house quickly.

Looking at the shabby bamboo house, Lu Chengzhou sighed.

Sure enough, the original work didn't lie to him.

Vanilla came from a poor family, so she never had the opportunity to go to a big city.

But she longed for the neon lights and bustling traffic there, and she was always working hard to save money, even resorting to any means to save money, just so that she could leave this mountain and go to the prosperous world she longed for.

However, this actually has nothing to do with Lu Chengzhou.

He brought Vanilla over to see if it would trigger a perk for the male protagonist in the original story—Vanilla's grandfather's heirloom.

The original text doesn't clearly explain what this family heirloom is.

However, judging from the joy the male protagonist felt after obtaining this family heirloom, it must be a valuable item.

Wait and see.

……

at this time.

The people in the camp were already preparing to start a fire and cook.

Today was another exhausting day.

Lin Chen and Su Qiaoman had instant noodles for dinner again tonight.

As for Meng Wanyu, she has also given up on barbecue.

Just as everyone was relieved that they no longer had to smell the barbecue and suffer the torment of their taste buds, Meng Wanyu had her bodyguard bring over a hot pot with two broths.

"Let's have hot pot tonight."

Eating hot pot alone can be a bit lonely.

Then she thought of the lovely Chairperson Xu Qian.

Although they are rivals in love, since the object of their affections is not around now, Meng Wanyu felt that it was possible to become friends for half an hour.

Xu Qian hesitated.

She felt that the way people were looking at her was very strange.

"Has the Chairman abandoned his principles?"

"Ah, we've succumbed to the terrifying wealth of the Meng family."

"I became a member of Lu Chengzhou's harem, that bastard."

"Damn it, I really envy that beast."

Xu Qian is a very shy and serious person.

Having been told this, and not knowing how to refute it, I could only sullenly lower my head.

Meng Wanyu walked up to her and took the self-heating rice from her hand.

"I called you, didn't you hear me?"

Meng Wanyu looked down at her.

Xu Qian sighed and gently shook her head.

“I heard it, but…”

"Come with me for hot pot."

"But today..."

"I've prepared fish fillets, and prawns, prawns as big as my palm, as well as eggplant, enoki mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, and lamb tripe..."

Xu Qian compromised once again.

There's no way to resist the delicious aroma of hot pot.

So, under the envious, jealous and hateful gazes of everyone, Xu Qian came to Meng Wanyu's hot pot, took the chopsticks and bowl handed to her by Meng Wanyu, and began to eat the fragrant hot pot.

At that moment, she felt that her persistence was completely meaningless.

Nothing is more worth pursuing than a hot pot meal on a cold, late night.

After dinner.

Lu Chengzhou still hasn't returned.

Looking at the lights of the villa in the distance, Meng Wanyu guessed that he probably wouldn't be coming back tonight.

So, on this long, lonely night, she should have a companion to sleep with.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be so cold at night?

So, she turned her gaze to Xu Qian once again.

"Shall we sleep together tonight?"

Xu Qian hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

With Lu Chengzhou not around tonight, she can sleep soundly.

Su Qiaoman watched the two of them enter the tent, then looked back at the distant town.

“Lu Chengzhou likes Lin Chen, so it’s very suspicious that the two of them were still sleeping together when Lu Chengzhou left.”

Su Qiaoman's mind was racing with wild fantasies.

"Could the person Meng Wanyu likes be Xu Qian?"

"She pretends to be possessive of Lu Chengzhou just to cover up the truth that she likes women!"

"Wow, this is quite a grand strategy."

For a time, her hostility towards Meng Wanyu lessened considerably.

They even started to wish each other well.

As long as they don't like Ah Zhou, they can be friends.

She could forgive and forget what had happened before.

When she looked at Lin Chen again, she once again showed the same doting gaze she had when looking at a tool.

Lin Chen: "..."

He slurped up a mouthful of noodles and quietly shifted his gaze.

It feels nice to be treated gently by the person you love, but something just doesn't feel right in their eyes.

Moreover, although it seems that their relationship has progressed rapidly, that's not actually the case.

Su Qiaoman wouldn't even let him hold her hand!

However, after being rejected so many times, Lin Chen stopped thinking about it.

However, he was a little puzzled at the moment. Why was Lu Chengzhou so determined to bring the two of them together?

Could it be that they are truly a match made in heaven?

He couldn't understand it, but decided to ask Lu Chengzhou carefully afterward to find out the truth.

……

On Lu Chengzhou's side.

Vanilla's grandfather killed a chicken and prepared a sumptuous meal to entertain Lu Chengzhou.

During a break from eating, the old man was still cracking his pipe.

Suddenly, he looked up and glanced at Lu Chengzhou.

"Young man, you're from Yicheng City, right?"

"Ah."

The soup made from free-range old hens raised in the mountains is truly delicious.

"So, do you know if there are any clinics in Yicheng that accept apprentices?"

"what?"

This problem caught Lu Chengzhou somewhat off guard.

Clinic?

They also accept apprentices?

Most clinics don't need apprentices, right?

Often, there's only one retired traditional Chinese medicine doctor in charge, and they can't afford to support apprentices.

Large hospitals do accept interns, but there are requirements, and they don't just put people in there casually.

The old man glanced at his granddaughter.

Vanilla was quietly eating her rice, trying to minimize her presence.

“My granddaughter is very talented in medicine. If she is properly nurtured, she should have a bright future.”

As the old man said this, he exhaled another smoke ring.

Hearing him say that, Lu Chengzhou thought of Jiang Aiyu.

Ms. Jiang is also very talented in the field of medicine.
