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

"I guess a little bit."

The proprietress smiled slightly, moved a chair over, and sat down next to Lu Chengzhou.

With Lu Chengzhou's expertise in games, he quickly and thoroughly defeated the landlady's character.

The proprietress narrowed her eyes, gave a soft hum, and with a flurry of actions, pulled off another miraculous comeback.

Soon, Lu Chengzhou's character's health bar was depleted.

The two stopped what they were doing at the same time and looked at each other.

The proprietress said, "You're the first person who's ever lasted more than a minute in my hands."

Lu Chengzhou laughed and said, "Likewise."

This game ended in a draw.

The proprietress stopped the game in time.

"I have some things to take care of, so I'll go now. If you need anything, you can call Xiao Zhen. Your expenses today will be on my tab."

"Thank you, ma'am."

Lu Chengzhou didn't argue with her and started playing by himself.

……

It was late at night.

Yicheng Winery.

Sister Meng, who had just returned from the company, learned from Aisha about the game that Lu Chengzhou had played with them, and couldn't help but frown.

"That Lu Chengzhou is really outrageous. There's so much going on at the winery lately, and he still goes out to play?"

As she spoke, she sighed again.

He grumbled in a very soft voice.

"Even if you're going to play games, shouldn't you include me?"

Elsa: "..."

Honestly, she increasingly failed to understand the thinking of her employers.

Is this hunting-like game really that fun?

Don't you think it's dangerous?

Especially Lu Chengzhou...

She could even imagine how Miss Meng would treat him after he returned.

Actually, Miss Meng is alright, but Miss Jiang, who often hides a knife under her skirt, is the most terrifying.

but……

She inexplicably felt that with Lu Chengzhou's abilities, dealing with them would be easy.

Perhaps, in the end, it won't be Lu Chengzhou who suffers, but these self-proclaimed smart girls.

"Let's put Lu Chengzhou's matter aside for now, what about my sister?"

Sister Meng went upstairs but didn't find Meng Wanyu or her two attendants.

Aisha honestly replied, "Miss is still looking for someone."

Sister Meng looked at her in surprise: "How long have you been looking?"

Elsa counted on her fingers.

"Has it been almost a day?"

"Lu Chengzhou is really good at hiding." Sister Meng laughed: "I heard that my sister offered a five million reward but still couldn't find him?"

"A few people who claimed to have met Mr. Lu came over to provide clues."

"Oh?"

"However, Mr. Lu ran faster than the onlookers."

"Ha, I suppose so."

As someone outside the game, Sister Meng's current mindset is exactly that of a typical bystander.

Remain calm and composed, simply enjoying the spectacle.

When she finally saw her younger sister return around 5 a.m. the next morning, she brought Jiang Aiyu with her and her face was gloomy.

Jiang Aiyu remained expressionless as always.

However, her dark circles were quite pronounced, indicating she hadn't slept all night.

Meng Wanyu wore light makeup and looked to be in good health, but her eyes were bloodshot, indicating that she was quite tired.

"I checked the surveillance footage all night, but I was always one step behind Lu Chengzhou. I couldn't catch him at all."

Meng Wanyu sat on the sofa, arms crossed.

"Miss Jiang, what about the clues you mentioned?"

Jiang Aiyu was also sitting on the sofa, but she looked more dignified.

She lowered her head and wiped the knife in her hand.

After a moment of silence, she raised the knife.

The blade gleamed with an ominous, cold light.

"If the teacher doesn't want us to catch him, there's absolutely no way we can catch him."

"So, you're planning to trick him into coming back?"

"No, I don't want to lie to the teacher."

"So, what are you planning to do..."

Meng Wanyu frowned as she looked at her.

Jiang Aiyu suddenly drew her knife and made a shallow cut on her arm.

Blood slowly seeped out.

It stood out starkly against her pale skin.

The Meng sisters, who witnessed this scene, both showed expressions of shock.

Surely not?

"Okay, you can take my picture now."

Jiang Aiyu acted with great restraint.

The wound looks terrible, but it's actually very shallow.

She's not really sick; she just can't bring herself to harm herself to pursue a man.

At most, it's just a staged act of self-inflicted suffering.

With mixed feelings, Meng Wanyu took a photo of her and sent it to Lu Chengzhou. "What's the reason?"

There has to be a reason for getting injured, right?

Jiang Aiyu calmly said, "Just say that I'm not in a good mental state and that if I don't see him again, I might jump off a building."

Meng Wanyu: "..."

You're such a frank girl.

Sister Meng quickly brought over a first-aid kit and treated Jiang Aiyu's wounds.

"Actually, this effect can be achieved through makeup."

"No, I don't want to lie to the teacher."

Jiang Aiyu spoke these words with a very firm attitude.

Meng Wanyu gave her a deep look.

In fact, even she couldn't completely avoid deceiving Lu Chengzhou.

Being chosen by such a stubborn woman, it's hard to say whether it's a stroke of luck or a disaster for Lu Chengzhou.

Sometimes, a white lie is better for both of us.

"But if you tell too many lies, you can no longer tell the truth."

Jiang Aiyu looked at her bandaged arm and thanked Sister Meng.

Just then, her phone rang.

The three women tensed up simultaneously.

The caller ID showed it was Lu Chengzhou.

"Answer the call quickly and hear what he has to say!"

306. Isn't it a bit much to repay kindness with enmity so quickly?

"I heard you were injured."

Lu Chengzhou's tone was very calm, and it was impossible to tell whether he was concerned about her or nervous.

Have you been to the hospital?

A word of concern made Jiang Aiyu feel somewhat guilty.

The teacher still cares about her.

Otherwise, why would they call so quickly?

Just as she was about to say something, Meng Wanyu took the phone.

"You've had a long day of fun, shouldn't you be back?" She cut straight to the point: "You're the owner of the winery, and you have a lot of orders lately. Are you planning to leave my sister to handle everything by herself?"

These words carry far more weight than Jiang Aiyu's photograph.
