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

Lu Chengzhou rested his chin on his hand, looking at her with great interest.

Since I have nothing else to do and can't leave today, I might as well spend some time with her.

Vanilla felt her cheeks burning from his gaze and, unable to bear it any longer, made up an excuse and went outside.

……

Evening came quickly.

Vanilla was distracted all day and miscalculated several transactions, earning a severe scolding from her grandfather.

"What's wrong with you, girl?"

"You used to be so serious!"

"I've never made such a basic mistake before!"

Xiangcao felt guilty and didn't try to argue, but just stared sullenly out the window.

Grandpa, of course, saw through her thoughts.

He softened his tone and asked, "Have you really fallen for that kid Lu Chengzhou?"

Vanilla refused to admit it, and simply pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Grandpa continued, "I'll say it again: if you want to date him, I won't object, but if you want to marry him, I advise you to give up on that idea."

Vanilla looked at her grandfather in surprise: "Why?"

"Why do you still ask?"

Grandpa raised his hand and gave her a sharp tap on the head.

"Don't you realize how much better Lu Chengzhou is than you? Besides, his interpersonal relationships are incredibly complicated. Can you handle them?"

Vanilla covered her head and snorted defiantly.

She couldn't help but think that among all the girls around Lu Chengzhou, only she lived in his house.

Living under the same roof, those who are close by have the advantage of getting the moon first!

Even if she wasn't naturally gifted, her starting point was higher than others, and her chances of success were greater.

of course!

The premise is that she really intends to pursue him.

She has always believed that girls should not take the initiative in matters of the heart.

She wasn't going to actively try to get close to Lu Chengzhou.

"Alright, that's enough for today. Get some rest and don't stay up late."

Grandpa said those words and walked away with his hands behind his back.

They now own many properties in Yicheng, so the grandfather and grandson no longer need to live together.

As Xiangcao watched her grandfather leave, her heart grew heavier.

This isn't the first time I've spent the night with Lu Chengzhou, so why am I so nervous today?

She pushed open the door to the cubicle and went inside.

Lu Chengzhou lay on the sofa, closing his eyes to rest, without turning on any lights.

She tiptoed to his side and sat down.

She scrutinized the man closely, her heart pounding like a restless rabbit.

"Hmph, she's actually quite good-looking..."

Compared to her, a proper woman, Lu Chengzhou's skin seemed to be even fairer.

Vanilla couldn't resist reaching out and trying to pinch his cheek.

Just then, Lu Chengzhou slowly opened his eyes.

What do you want to do?

Vanilla quickly withdrew her hand, which had been frozen in mid-air.

Lu Chengzhou coughed lightly: "I can understand your desire to spy on my body."

Vanilla was so angry she punched him: "You're talking nonsense! I'm not like you, I'm a decent person!"

Lu Chengzhou laughed and said, "Why would a decent person walk into a woman's room without saying a word and then reach out to touch her?"

Vanilla choked for a moment, not knowing how to refute it.

"Sigh, I can't sleep. How about you make me a midnight snack?"

"You order me around and you still act so self-righteous? Believe me or not, I'll report you in a heartbeat!"

“Then go ahead.” Lu Chengzhou wasn’t afraid of her threat at all: “However, if I get caught and taken back, I’ll expose you first and say that you forced me to go on a date with you.”

vanilla:"……"

How can there be such a shameless man in the world?

I should have known better than to bring up the date!

Well, that's bad. The date hasn't even started yet, and he's already got something on her.

"Seriously, I'm a little hungry. Go make me a midnight snack."

"Hmph! What do you want to eat?"

"You talk as if you can cook a lot of dishes..."

"Lu Chengzhou!!!"

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. Just do what you're good at, thank you."

Vanilla was teased by him repeatedly, and she had no temper left.

Lu Chengzhou watched her walk into the kitchen with a smile, and couldn't help but wonder what she would look like if she wore a maid outfit.

Tsk.

The effect will probably be a huge contrast to Elsa's, right?

Elsa's maid outfit is certainly nice, but you get tired of seeing it after a while.

Lu Chengzhou was thinking about when he could trick Xiangcao into wearing a maid outfit for him.

……

"Okay, here's your noodles."

Xiangcao brought out a bowl of clear soup noodles and casually tossed a packet of pickled vegetables to Lu Chengzhou.

"Just eat this, I don't have any other side dishes here."

Lu Chengzhou held the packet of pickled vegetables, his feelings complicated.

Seeing that he was hesitant to pick up his chopsticks, Xiangcao added, "There's no poison in it."

Is this a matter of whether or not to use poison?

Lu Chengzhou sighed.

"It's not about whether there's poison in it..."

So you're looking down on my cooking skills?

Lu Chengzhou sighed again.

He just felt that, as a time traveler, his current treatment had probably crossed the line for time travelers.

Clear broth noodles with pickled vegetables?

You might as well just give him a bowl of instant noodles; at least it'll have some spiciness and dried meat.

If he has dinners like this a few more times, he'll probably give in.

Following Meng Wanyu and the others, at least you'll eat and drink well, right?

"You can have a better meal if you want, but I have one condition."

Vanilla, having spent a long time with him, also went astray.

The first step in doing something is to seek benefits.

Lu Chengzhou glanced at her: "You don't expect me to sleep with you, do you? I'm an artist, not a prostitute."

vanilla:"……"

Seeing that her expression wasn't good, Lu Chengzhou stopped joking and said, "Okay, go ahead, I'm listening."

Vanilla slammed her hand on the table and stood up.

She walked up to Lu Chengzhou, reached out, and grabbed his collar.

In an instant, his domineering aura was fully unleashed.

"I want you to sleep with me, do you dare to agree?"

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Lu Chengzhou was genuinely a little frightened by her.

Has this girl taken the wrong medicine?

I used to tease her without getting angry; at most, I'd give her a couple of playful punches.

She seems genuinely anxious today.

"You don't dare? I said you dare, and I command you to dare!"

Vanilla was practically riding on his back at this point.

Lu Chengzhou had no choice but to surrender: "Don't do anything reckless. We are all adults and we have to be responsible for our words and actions."

Vanilla chuckled: "You're not scared, are you?"

Lu Chengzhou, utterly dejected: "Ah, if you say so, then that's it..."

He wanted to slip away.
