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

"but……"

"Perhaps this is the true choice I've made in my heart."

Sister Meng boarded the car, burdened with this sense of guilt.

After getting on the bus, she told herself that this was the first and the last time.

From now on, she will no longer easily accept Lu Chengzhou's invitations, nor will she take the initiative to invite him again.

They should maintain their friendship forever.

As for that online romance, she also forced herself to forget it.

When she arrived at Lu Chengzhou's building, she got out of the car in a daze and told the driver to drive away.

I took a deep breath, but I still couldn't calm down.

So she lit a cigarette for herself.

Lu Chengzhou was standing on the balcony, trying to plant a sprouted scallion into a flowerpot.

Xiangcao was called to the next room by Jiang Aiyu to see her new glow-in-the-dark watch.

Tonight, he is the only one in this house.

Looking down from the balcony, he saw a familiar figure standing under the streetlight.

His hand paused for a moment.

209. This is a world full of variety.

Lu Chengzhou guessed it; the person downstairs was Sister Meng.

No, actually I shouldn't call her "sister," I should call her by her name, Meng Jingting.

As the older sister, she always followed behind her younger sister, remaining a nameless figure.

She didn't have her sister's leadership skills, and her personality was rather gentle.

Therefore, no one had high expectations for her.

In many situations, people would assume that she was Meng Wanyu's appendage, and when addressing her, they would habitually call her "Meng Wanyu's older sister".

Actually, she does have a name.

Moreover, she possesses a personality and talent completely different from Meng Wanyu's.

In her field, she can achieve near perfection.

but……

Who cares?

Meng Jingting exhaled a smoke ring, raised her head, and looked up at the sky.

It was only after Lu Chengzhou appeared that she began to examine her own existence.

Before this, she had gotten used to being the person behind her younger sister and had accepted her fate.

From childhood to adulthood, her parents would tell her repeatedly that her younger sister was small and that she should let her younger sister choose first when it came to things.

“But Lu Chengzhou, he is not an object.”

Meng Jingting didn't want to give it up to her younger sister so easily.

That's why she's standing here right now.

"elder sister."

At this moment, Lu Chengzhou had already come downstairs.

His sudden voice startled Meng Jingting.

The cigarette in his hand fell to the ground.

"Girls should smoke less; it's bad for your beauty and health."

This was the first time Lu Chengzhou had ever advised her to quit smoking.

Meng Jingting nodded and remembered his words.

Looking into his eyes, the guilt in my heart inexplicably lessened.

"It's still early, how about we go for a walk?"

"it is good."

……

The two walked slowly around the old neighborhood.

There were so many things I wanted to say, but now I can't say them.

After walking around in silence, I quickly returned to where I started.

At this moment, Meng Jingting looked up at him again, waiting for his instructions.

Lu Chengzhou scratched his head and said with difficulty, "How about we walk around again?"

Meng Jingting nodded with a smile and said, "Okay."

And so, they walked three laps.

On the fourth lap, Lu Chengzhou felt that he couldn't continue like this.

We need to do something.

So he suggested that they go sit in the convenience store across the street for a while.

"That restaurant makes excellent green tea and soup dumplings; I'd like you to try them."

"it is good."

At this moment, Lu Chengzhou noticed that Sister Meng really liked to say "okay".

She almost never refuted his suggestions.

Honestly, it's quite comfortable to feel like whatever you say will be agreed with.

Lu Chengzhou led her into the convenience store.

The green tea is gone, but the coffee and soup dumplings are still available.

So, the two of them found a seat by the window and began to enjoy their late-night snack.

Meng Jingting generally doesn't eat late-night snacks, after all, she exercises and controls her diet all year round in order to maintain her figure.

Eating a late-night snack can ruin all the results of several days of exercise.

However, considering that this might be the only time she would have the chance to eat with Lu Chengzhou, she felt relieved.

Let alone soup dumplings, she wouldn't refuse even if you asked her to eat barbecue from a roadside stall.

"Try it."

Lu Chengzhou taught her how to eat this food.

Tell her to carefully poke it open and drink the soup first, but be careful it's hot.

After she took a small bite of the filling, Lu Chengzhou asked her how it felt.

Meng Jingting nodded.

It's still just one word.

"it is good."

It's quite delicious.

It was much better than any five-star restaurant she had ever eaten.

Perhaps it was because she had no expectations for this in the first place, so she was pleasantly surprised after tasting it.

……

Half an hour later.

They finished their late-night snack.

When Lu Chengzhou suggested that he take her for another walk to help her digest her food, Meng Jingting took out a room key and placed it in front of him.

Lu Chengzhou: "..."

Meng Jingting rested her chin on her hand and looked at him: "Do you understand what I mean?"

Lu Chengzhou really wanted to say he didn't understand.

However, to say you don't understand now would be pure pretense.

How could I not understand?

Meng Jingting took a deep breath: "If you don't like hotels, I can come to your house with you."

Lu Chengzhou thought of the terrible conditions in his home...

Well, he was a little embarrassed to let Sister Meng come to his house.

"If you're going to a hotel, you might want to bring a change of clothes."

As she spoke, Sister Meng chuckled softly again.

"Let's go to your place. I want to sleep in your bed and feel your presence."

Lu Chengzhou coughed lightly and couldn't help but ask, "Have you thought it through?"

"Ah."

There wasn't much hesitation on Meng Jingting's face.

However, it was precisely her unwavering determination that made Lu Chengzhou sense something was amiss.

"It's like she's planning to sleep with me once and then never see me again?"

He didn't lose out at all by sleeping with such a beauty.

However, Lu Chengzhou felt something was off.
