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

"In that case, I'll do a good deed and take Su home."

Meng Wanyu waved her hand, signaling the bodyguards behind her to step forward.

Before he could even get close to Su Qiaoman, Lin Chen couldn't keep up the act anymore.

He stood up abruptly and blocked Su Qiaoman's path.

"Miss Meng, isn't it inappropriate for you to just take people away like this?"

How dare you ruin his plans!

This Meng Wanyu really gave him a lot of trouble.

However, he dared not do anything to her.

Meng Wanyu clicked her tongue impatiently and waved her hand to stop the bodyguard's actions.

"Since you don't trust me, I have another suggestion. You, me, and Lu Chengzhou, the three of us will take her home together. Would that put your mind at ease?"

Lin Chen choked for a moment.

Seeing his expression, Meng Wanyu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What's wrong, Lin Chen? You're not planning to force her to stay and then take advantage of her while she's drunk, are you?"

037. What, you think you can just stay at my house?

"nonsense!"

Lin Chen's face turned red.

He immediately began to make excuses.

"I have lived an upright life, how could I do such a shameless thing!"

Meng Wanyu looked at him with a smile.

Being stared at by those eyes, Lin Chen felt as if he had been seen through from head to toe, which was very uncomfortable.

hateful.

This woman is so sharp.

"Forget it, I won't go. You two take her back."

Lin Chen decided to give in.

He still had to consider Meng Wanyu's feelings.

It's definitely not going to work out tonight. Letting go now is better for everyone.

He watched Meng Wanyu and Lu Chengzhou leave.

Finally, her gaze fell on Lu Chengzhou, and she looked at him for a while longer.

Seeing how considerate Meng Wanyu was to him, Lin Chen felt inexplicably envious.

"I must be crazy!"

With my status, what is there to envy about others?

Meng Wanyu couldn't possibly genuinely like him; at most, she just wanted to toy with him.

Thinking about it this way, Lin Chen felt a little better.

……

Outside.

Meng Wanyu instructed her bodyguards to escort the people away, while she herself walked side by side with Lu Chengzhou on the moonlit path.

Not far away, Sister Meng was waiting for them.

Lu Chengzhou breathed a sigh of relief and was in a good mood.

I can go home and rest soon, that's great.

However, Meng Wanyu was clearly not happy.

My sister is watching me too closely, it's terrible.

She didn't even have the chance to spend quality time with Teacher Lu and enjoy the moonlight together.

A few days later, the math competition ended, and she had no reason to keep Lu Chengzhou around any longer.

Thinking about it this way makes me feel even worse.

"I wonder if Teacher Lu is skilled in cooking?"

Meng Wanyu suddenly asked this question.

Lu Chengzhou was slightly taken aback, then thought of the skill he had just acquired.

He felt that he could agree.

"It's alright, I know a few simple dishes."

"That's great." Meng Wanyu smiled at him. "I just happen to want to learn a few dishes to appease my family. You can teach me, right?"

Lu Chengzhou sensed a conspiracy.

However, faced with Meng Wanyu's bright, sparkling eyes, he had no choice but to follow her lead.

Well, even if there are pitfalls ahead, we have no choice but to step into them.

What kind of dish do you want to learn to cook?

"Something simpler will be fine."

Meng Wanyu yawned.

"After all, I'm not participating in any cooking competitions, I'm just catering to my family, so it doesn't matter if I don't cook very well."

"So, baking a cake?"

Meng Wanyu thought about it and felt that making a cake together was a good idea, and it seemed like they could also play some games, so she nodded.

As usual, we still need to calculate the payment.

Although Meng Wanyu also felt that using money to bind each other was a very uncomfortable feeling.

However, some constraints are better than none.

Lu Chengzhou was like a kite tied with a thin string; he would fly away if you weren't careful.

If she had to watch him run away, she would rather keep him tied up.

"How about this, the hourly wage will still be calculated according to the math Olympiad tutoring rate, two hundred yuan, paid daily."

Meng Wanyu checked his time again.

"Can you come tomorrow?"

Lu Chengzhou nodded.

He may not have much else, but he has plenty of time.

With the skills provided by the system, I can earn a living and make a decent living.

"Very good, Teacher Lu."

As they were talking, they arrived in front of Sister Meng.

Seeing her younger sister's reluctant expression, Sister Meng couldn't help but smile.

This was the first time she had ever seen her younger sister stare so longingly at something, looking as if she couldn't have it no matter what.

However, this is for the best.

As long as Lu Chengzhou is determined enough, she wouldn't mind letting the two of them continue playing around.

If my younger sister can grow up from this and realize that life is not easy, and that the outside world will not spoil her like it does at home, that would be even better.

Meng Wanyu got into the car.

As the car started moving, she still looked at Lu Chengzhou with reluctance.

The older sister stopped the car and waved to Lu Chengzhou.

"Come on, I'll give you a ride home on the way."

Lu Chengzhou waved his hand and refused.

"I've already called a taxi, and it'll be here soon."

"OK then."

Sister Meng closed the car door again.

The car slowly drove away and soon disappeared around the corner.

Lu Chengzhou breathed a sigh of relief and walked slowly.

……

It was past 11 p.m. when I got home.

Lu Chengzhou took off his coat and shoes, lay down on the sofa, and closed his eyes to rest.

Just as I was weighing the pros and cons, my phone rang.

He took his phone out of his coat pocket and glanced at the caller ID.

It was Su Qiaoman.

Why would you contact him so late at night instead of sleeping?

Lu Chengzhou hesitated for a moment, then answered the phone.

"A-Zhou, my house is without water and electricity tonight, and it's pitch black. I'm too scared to stay here, and I have nowhere to go. Can I stay at your place for the night?"

On the other end of the phone, she still had that soft, weak voice.

Lu Chengzhou refused on the spot without even thinking.

What would it look like if a man and a woman were alone in a room together?
