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

“If you go to school like this, I suspect you’ll faint in the classroom and become the talk of the town. You might have to ask for leave even if you don’t want to.”

Lu Chengzhou deliberately tried to scare her.

Seeing her expression tense up, he softened his tone and said in a casual manner:

"So, should I ask for leave?"

Xu Qian breathed a sigh of relief and nodded solemnly.

Before she could say thank you, Lu Chengzhou stopped her.

This habit of constantly saying thank you is really hard for people to accept.

During the day he spent tutoring her with her homework, Lu Chengzhou kept thinking about what he was trying to achieve by doing this.

Since he came into this world, he has always been very purposeful.

It can be said that the vast majority of things they do are for profit.

However, even though doing this today wouldn't bring him any benefit, he still felt quite happy.

After much thought, he came to an answer: perhaps the saying "The world is bustling, all for profit; the world is bustling, all for gain" is not entirely true.

It is hard to be a completely selfless person.

Conversely, a completely selfish person also has a hard life.

Lu Chengzhou, a lazy bum, just wants to live an easy life.

Therefore, it's best not to go to extremes.

"Senior Lu, it's almost time, I should go back."

In the evening, Xu Qian received a call from her mother, urging her to come home.

Lu Chengzhou nodded and casually said, "I'll take you downstairs."

……

A breeze picked up on the early summer night, bringing a touch of coolness.

If it doesn't rain, the small park in front of the gate will be very crowded.

Now, there are only a few pedestrians hurrying along.

Lu Chengzhou originally intended to just take her downstairs, but since he couldn't get a taxi downstairs, he could only take her to the bus stop seven or eight hundred meters away.

Of all times...

He saw a familiar car.

Sister Meng had already driven past them, but when she caught a glimpse of her beloved in a fleeting glance, she slammed on the brakes.

Seeing the car lights come on and the car stop, Lu Chengzhou's unease intensified.

We're doomed.

I inexplicably felt like I'd been caught cheating.

wrong!

That's not how it works...

I didn't even hold hands with the female student, so it can't be considered stealing, right?

Besides, I'm still single...

Lu Chengzhou made up a bunch of excuses for himself.

As a result, these excuses made him feel even more like a jerk, and he started to feel guilty.

Xu Qian's reaction seemed even stronger than his.

She quickly widened the distance between herself and Lu Chengzhou.

"What am I doing..." Xu Qian cursed herself inwardly, feeling utterly pathetic!

However, in front of that Porsche, his inferiority complex erupted like a volcano, becoming uncontrollable.

Looking at Senior Lu again, he felt even more that he was ungrateful and delusional.

Xu Qian's eyes reddened slightly.

in case……

If I could own such a beautiful sports car, I probably wouldn't lack the courage to confess my feelings, right?

"Lu Chengzhou, what are you doing so late at night?"

Sister Meng walked up to Lu Chengzhou.

He glanced at Xu Qian briefly and gave her a polite smile.

Xu Qian also bowed slightly and said, "Good evening, Miss Meng."

Sister Meng's smile became more genuine: "You know me?"

Xu Qian was stunned for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, he replied, "I don't know, I'm just guessing."

After all, Sister Meng and Meng Wanyu share a similar temperament.

Both of them come from top-tier wealthy families and received the same education, so they certainly won't be completely different.

Are you going home?

"Ah."

"Then I'll give you a ride. I'm free tonight anyway." Sister Meng naturally took the package from Xu Qian and put it in the car.

This left Xu Qian with no chance to refuse.

Lu Chengzhou rubbed his temples, looking like he had a headache.

Sister Meng's expression didn't change much, and her eyes remained as gentle as ever, but he could sense a faint smell of jealousy in the air.

……

In the car.

Xu Qian sat in the passenger seat.

A very obscure English song was playing in the car.

The faint scent of incense did not relax people; instead, it made them more tense.

Lu Chengzhou rested his chin on his hand, gazing out the window as raindrops fell onto the glass, gathering into tiny streams of water before falling down.

They arrived at the Xu family's residence soon.

Sister Meng carried her package with one hand and held an umbrella in the other, seeing her all the way inside before turning back.

Once back in the car, Lu Chengzhou handed her a piece of candy.

Sister Meng readily accepted and smiled.

"Lu Chengzhou, I'm really curious, what have you been thinking about all this way?"

Lu Chengzhou shrugged and didn't say anything.

Sister Meng got out of the driver's seat and sat with him in the back seat.

The distance between the two instantly closed.

"You're thinking, could I possibly harm Miss Xu?

"No."

Lu Chengzhou was indeed in a daze the whole way.

I wasn't thinking about anything.

Sister Meng persisted, gently grabbing his collar and pinning him against the window.

A hint of resentment lingered in his eyes.

"So tell me, do you miss her more, or do you miss me more?"

296. It's you who's plotting against your senior!

"I don't quite understand what you mean."

This is definitely a life-or-death question.

Even if Lu Chengzhou truly understood, he could only pretend to be confused.

However, to be honest, I haven't been in contact with Sister Meng much lately.

He was somewhat afraid to face her tender gaze.

Sister Meng pinched his cheek.

"You don't understand? I never thought that the incredibly intelligent Teacher Lu could be so stupid."

"I've always been stupid."

Lu Chengzhou tried to break free from this indecent position.

If this continues, he might stop being human.

However, the space inside the car was already cramped, and his little actions could not escape Sister Meng's eyes at all.

"Lu Chengzhou, are you trying to run away again?"

"I...I need to use the restroom."

Before he could finish speaking, Sister Meng tossed him an empty beverage bottle.

"Then let's eat here."

"..."

Lu Chengzhou, who was holding the beverage bottle, visibly twitched at the corner of his mouth.

Don't tell me he was just making an excuse; even if he really needed to use the toilet, he wouldn't use this thing.
