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

Then she looked at Lu Chengzhou and asked, "What time is it now?"

Lu Chengzhou told her that it was already past nine o'clock at night.

Meng Wanyu nodded.

"It's getting late, you should go back now. If you have any conscience, just come and help me early tomorrow morning."

With that, she turned to leave.

Lu Chengzhou called out to her.

Aren't you afraid?

"In the dead of night, in the desolate wilderness!"

"There's a good chance there will be poisonous snakes and wild beasts. You're a girl, and you don't have any weapons to protect yourself. Can you handle it?"

Meng Wanyu turned around and glanced at him.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Teacher Lu, are you worried about me?"

Meeting her burning gaze, Lu Chengzhou nodded.

I am indeed a little worried about her.

Even if she wasn't his sugar daddy and didn't give him so many things, he would still worry about her at this moment.

"Thank you for your concern, but please rest assured, this isn't the first time I've encountered something like this." Meng Wanyu's smile faded slightly.

His gaze gradually darkened.

Memories return to the past.

The first time she encountered something like this, she cried for a long time.

After her arms and legs were scratched by thorns, she began to curse everyone, including her parents.

Why set up such a difficult test?

Just because her father was trapped in the mountains for three days and three nights when he went up to collect herbs as a child, does she hope that his daughters will also experience his despair and unleash their survival potential like him?

There's no need for that!

After all, they no longer need to go into the mountains to collect herbs themselves!

Unfortunately, her cries did not change her father's heart, which was as hard as iron.

Meng Wanyu was only ten years old at that time.

He failed that grueling test and was sent to a boarding school, where he spent five years.

In five years, her father only saw her a few times from afar through barbed wire like this, without ever saying a word to her.

At that very moment, the older sister, holding the black card given to her by her father, was traveling the world freely and luxuriously.

If it weren't for her sister frequently messaging her and secretly sending her money, she would definitely hate her sister as well, eventually becoming a sophisticated egoist, selfish and cold-blooded.

"call."

Meng Wanyu tightened her collar to block the cold wind that was seeping into her clothes.

Still feeling cold, she squatted down and hugged herself.

The torches stuck in the ground were gradually going out.

She took a breath and rubbed her hands together.

Lu Chengzhou also squatted down.

Clearly, he wasn't planning on leaving tonight.

The two people, separated by barbed wire, gazed at each other from afar, creating a strangely comical scene.

At this moment, Meng Wanyu remembered that she wanted to ask him if he had brought any beer.

"Lu Chengzhou, did you bring any beer?"

"No beer, only half a bottle of mineral water."

As he spoke, Lu Chengzhou opened his backpack and handed in a bottle of mineral water.

Meng Wanyu didn't care whether he had drunk from her before; she unscrewed the cap and took a big gulp.

Seeing her shivering from the cold, Lu Chengzhou decided to build a campfire in the spot closest to the barbed wire fence.

Before that, he took off his coat and handed it to Meng Wanyu.

"I need to gather the firewood now, could you please hold my phone for me?"

The phone was also handed to Meng Wanyu.

Meng Wanyu took it, turned on the flashlight, and shone it on the area ahead.

Lu Chengzhou was very efficient and quickly gathered the necessary firewood, setting up a small campfire.

"It's so warm."

The campfire brought warmth and dispelled the surrounding darkness.

Meng Wanyu stopped talking about leaving and stopped trying to drive Lu Chengzhou away.

As for Lu Chengzhou, he simply sat down and took out a bag of sunflower seeds from his backpack.

After disassembling it, I poured some water into her through the wire mesh.

As Meng Wanyu held the handful of spiced melon seeds, she couldn't help but smile.

"If Elsa saw that I not only have fire to roast, but I can also eat roasted chicken and sunflower seeds, she would probably be so surprised that her mouth would be agape."

"It's not just roast chicken and sunflower seeds."

As he spoke, Lu Chengzhou handed her a sour preserved plum.

These snacks were probably left with him by Vanilla.

When I get back, I'll definitely have to buy her the exact same one as compensation.

Meng Wanyu took the preserved plum from his hand and carefully put it in her mouth.

The moment the tip of my tongue touches the plum powder, my mouth starts to water uncontrollably.

I rolled the whole preserved plum into my mouth and took a small bite.

It was so sour that her eyebrows furrowed together.

"Ugh, hiss..."

My mouth almost watered.

This kind of cheap preserved plum was something Meng Wanyu had never eaten before.

Today, on her first taste, she learned a valuable lesson.

"Is it tasty?"

Lu Chengzhou asked the question knowingly, and deliberately handed her another one.

Meng Wanyu glared at him reproachfully, but still took it.

Along with the preserved plum, a green candy was also handed over.

"What kind of candy is this?"

"You'll know once you try it."

Lu Chengzhou looked at her with a smile.

Meng Wanyu put the green candy into her mouth with some skepticism.

A strange, sour, and bitter taste made her spit out the candy.

"That despicable Lu Chengzhou!"

Her face flushed red, and she stood up abruptly.

"You poisoned me, didn't you?"

Lu Chengzhou shook his head and casually picked up the wrapper of the candy.

The words "Show-off" were written on it.

"This kind of candy is sour at first and then sweet. If you don't have patience, you won't be able to taste the sweetness."

Hearing this, Meng Wanyu looked at him with suspicion.

"really?"

"Of course it's true."

"If you say that Chinese people don't lie to each other, then I will believe you."

"Chinese people do not deceive Chinese people."

What Lu Chengzhou said was, of course, the truth.

This snack is actually a kind of childhood memory. When Lu Chengzhou was a child, he often used this to trick other children, and then watched them cry and go to the teacher to complain.

As a result, halfway there, the bitterness on the outside of the candy faded and the sweetness inside came out, so they walked back in a daze.

Unfortunately, everyone was pretty mean back then.

The first person to be fooled, knowing that this candy has such properties, deliberately kept it a secret from their other friends and shared it with them, waiting to see them cry and run to the teacher to complain as well.

This vicious cycle of deception and fraud only ended when someone, fearless enough to risk their life, offered the homeroom teacher this food, and the entire class was punished by copying the text.

"Is it tasty?"

Meng Wanyu put the sour candy into her mouth for the second time, enduring the discomfort in her mouth, and bit it open.

Indeed, I could taste a hint of sweetness.

She looked at Lu Chengzhou in surprise.

It's hard to believe.

"There really is such a thing?"
