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

Vanilla beat him until she was panting, but when she saw that he didn't react at all, she got even angrier!

"You could at least shout a couple of times, you bastard!"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch... Are you satisfied now?"

"Could you at least try to sound sincere when you call me that?"

"Wow, you're really asking too much of me."

……

night.

The city was deserted, but fireworks were being set off in the suburbs.

At Xiangcao's insistence, Lu Chengzhou had no choice but to take her to the best viewing area on the outskirts of the city.

There were no buses running at that point, so I had to ride a bicycle to get there.

Most of the snow on the ground had been shoveled away, but it was still very slippery.

Sitting on the back of the bicycle, Xiangcao could only cling tightly to Lu Chengzhou's waist to avoid being thrown off.

Lu Chengzhou: "Can you relax a little? You're choking me to death."

Vanilla: "What if I relax and you throw me off!"

Lu Chengzhou: "You can doubt my character, but you can't doubt my driving skills."

Before he finished speaking, he deliberately twisted the handlebars.

The vanilla, feeling the car bumping, turned pale with fright.

"Aaaaaah...!"

She practically lay on top of him.

Only when she was too scared to talk anymore did Lu Chengzhou slow down and ride leisurely.

"Alright, don't worry, the road ahead is still smooth."

Vanilla was still in shock, panting heavily.

My heart was pounding.

Every now and then, you can see young couples walking together on the sidewalk, as well as men and women riding bicycles like them.

Vanilla lowered her head and bit her lip.

She suddenly felt that she and her landlord were like a young couple in an idol drama.

This behavior is somewhat romantic.

"No way, I would never like a bastard like Lu Chengzhou."

Vanilla stopped herself from having strange thoughts in time.

And then, she deliberately pinched Lu Chengzhou's waist.

Pinching someone through a down jacket doesn't hurt, of course.

"How naive you are."

"You're the childish one!"

Before we knew it, we had arrived at our destination.

After getting out of the car, Lu Chengzhou parked it directly on the side of the road.

Anyway, this is the suburbs, so there won't be any traffic police to manage them.

Vanilla decisively pulled out her phone and started taking pictures of the distant scenery.

"Quick, landlord, take a picture of me too, I want to post it on WeChat Moments!"

She handed the phone to Lu Chengzhou.

At this moment, Lu Chengzhou noticed that her phone screen was cracked. Upon turning it over and looking at the brand, he realized that it wasn't the iPhone she had been clamoring to buy every day.

"Didn't you plan to buy a new phone?"

Lu Chengzhou couldn't help but ask a question.

"The supply shouldn't be tight lately, so I can buy whatever I want, right?"

Vanilla's smile froze slightly.

She chuckled twice and said, "I've thought about it and decided not to buy it. I'll just make do with this one."

Actually, it's because they can't bear to part with the money.

She is now completely dependent on Lu Chengzhou for support and cannot survive in this big city on her own.

Buying a new phone will put a strain on my finances.

Then, I'll probably have to borrow money from Lu Chengzhou again.

"It seems you still really want it."

"nonsense!"

Vanilla snorted and declared with great pride:

"However, one day I will be able to buy the best mobile phone with my own money!"

239. A half-blood maid? That's incredible...

The New Year's bells rang.

Unfortunately, the festive atmosphere of the New Year has long since disappeared in big cities.

There was no red envelope distribution, no visiting relatives and friends to exchange New Year's greetings, just a quick "good morning" to each other in the morning, and then everyone went back to sleep.

After the Spring Festival, Lu Chengzhou suddenly realized that he hadn't seen Jiang Aiyu for several days.

The gate opposite was locked.

Moreover, I have not received any more class invitations from her.

Just as Lu Chengzhou was puzzled, Xiangcao told him that Jiang Aiyu had gone to the school.

She said she had never been to university and wanted to go to university to see what it was like.

"Well, now's not the time to look for a school, is it?"

Vanilla shrugged: "I wouldn't know! But if you really care about her, you should ask her yourself, right?"

That's the problem.

Lu Chengzhou had already messaged her, asking what she was doing.

However, Jiang Aiyu did not reply.

……

Winter break is over, so how far away is the new semester?

Before returning to school, Lu Chengzhou, as usual, went to Yicheng Winery to check on their winemaking progress.

Following his instructions, after changing the raw materials for winemaking, they successfully replicated the master winemaking process of a century ago.

The moment the wine jar was opened, its aroma filled the air, almost instantly overpowering the smells of all the other wines in the cellar.

The old master, who had previously shown Lu Chengzhou some disrespect, became much more respectful upon seeing him.

"Mr. Lu is truly a remarkable person."

"This talent for brewing wine is truly remarkable."

"This batch of fermented rice wine has completely won me over."

Their compliments were endless, each one unique.

Lu Chengzhou could only wave his hand, signaling them to keep a low profile.

Don't always praise him like that, it's not a good trend!

He was just an ordinary person who did a little work because he had access to the system.

After inspecting the winery, he took another look at his new house.

not bad.

The space is large enough, there are two balconies, and most importantly, the bed is very big and comfortable.

"If I can successfully get into Tongcheng University, I can move here to live." Lu Chengzhou had a well-thought-out plan.

Tongcheng University is relatively close to the winery; it only takes fifteen minutes by car.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you can successfully get into Tongcheng University.

What worries Lu Chengzhou the most is the female lead Su Qiaoman's grades.

Hopefully, she can unleash her full potential, just like in the original novel, and successfully enter a top-tier university.

"Ah! I hope the day of freedom will come soon!"

Lu Chengzhou lay on his large new bed and rolled around comfortably.

then,

He got up again and rolled around on the sofa.

What does it mean to be content?

That's what I call being content.

Although he has always wanted to be an ordinary person who can live a carefree life, it doesn't mean he doesn't yearn for a higher quality of life.

To reiterate, if given the opportunity to advance his career, he would still be willing to do so.

He's a man with a system, after all.

"Mr. Lu, the tea and snacks are ready. Shall we bring them to your room?"

The sound outside the door made Lu Chengzhou sit up again.
