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

We followed her past the enormous swimming pool and toward the exhibition hall.

The two stopped in front of a pillar in the exhibition hall.

"Turn the handle over there."

"Yes, open the lid again."

"Enter the password, 5566."

Jiang Aiyu wasn't tall enough, but her head was quite high, so Lu Chengzhou did the whole thing for her.

There was a "click" sound.

The lid opened, and something resembling an umbrella holder popped out.

He handed this to Jiang Aiyu.

Miss Jiang skillfully opened it, took out a painting hidden inside, and placed it in Lu Chengzhou's hands.

This caught Lu Chengzhou somewhat off guard.

What are you doing...?

"Gift."

Jiang Aiyu looked at him seriously: "Miss Meng only gave you one Lamborghini, but this one of mine could buy several Lamborghinis."

Lu Chengzhou's eyelids twitched.

What is this?

Is this considered a competition among rich young ladies?

What about him?

For a fleeting moment, he felt like he might be the top courtesan in a brothel, with everyone vying to give him gifts in hopes of spending the night with him.

Cough cough cough...

Lu Chengzhou quickly dismissed this strange idea.

Unfold the scroll and take a moment to appreciate it.

As the scroll unfurled, his already furrowed brows tightened even more.

This……

Why does it look so familiar?

and many more!

Isn't this his painting within a painting?

Lu Chengzhou trembled slightly.

"How...how could this be..."

There are two identical paintings!

One of these paintings is definitely fake.

It's possible that both paintings are fake...

Is there something wrong with this painting?

Jiang Aiyu leaned closer and glanced at the painting in his hand.

She doesn't really understand this kind of calligraphy and painting appreciation.

However, judging from Lu Chengzhou's expression, there must be a big problem with this painting.

“This painting can’t be fake.” Jiang Aiyu was also a little flustered: “It was hidden here by my father’s father.”

Despite her words, she was genuinely somewhat insecure.

What if it's really fake...

Wouldn't she lose face in front of the teacher?

Just then, Lu Chengzhou rolled up the painting and put it back down.

"Would you mind if I took it to get it appraised?" Lu Chengzhou asked.

"It's yours now, so you can do whatever you want with it."

Jiang Aiyu's expression softened when she saw that he had accepted the painting.

If the teacher accepts her gift, it means she still has a chance.

She felt that perhaps it wouldn't be long before her teacher would be willing to have a child with her.

Lu Chengzhou squeezed her hand.

"Thank you."

……

As we exited the dolphinarium, the first round of fireworks was just beginning.

Lu Chengzhou carried her to the highest platform.

This is the best viewing area.

Tourists who heard the news came to watch the fireworks, and the place was already packed.

Lu Chengzhou and Jiang Aiyu had no choice but to stand on the edge, leaning against the railing.

As fireworks exploded, Jiang Aiyu leaned close to his ear and whispered something.

She mustered up her courage to say those words.

However, Lu Chengzhou did not hear clearly.

"what?"

"……nothing."

The courage I had just a second ago is gone in this second.

Jiang Aiyu gripped the railing, gazing at the distant night view.

I hope to keep this beautiful scene in my heart forever.

After the screening ended, she took Lu Chengzhou's hand and followed behind him, walking with difficulty through the crowd.

We came from one clamor, and now we're heading towards another.

"Your hands are very cold."

As Jiang Aiyu said this, she switched to using both hands, holding one of his hands and breathing on it.

"That will be better, right?"

Lu Chengzhou glanced back at her, then quickly avoided her gaze.

He really dislikes the feeling of being moved.

That feeling would give him a sense of crisis that the situation was spiraling out of control.

"I'm alright, I'm not very cold."

He pulled his hand back.

This is a signal that "we should stop here."

If it were a girl like Xu Qian, she would clearly pick up on this signal and stop chasing after him.

But Jiang Aiyu wouldn't.

She grabbed his shirt, squatted down, and began her third round of whining.

"Teacher, I can't walk anymore, can you carry me?"

"You're just a kid!" Lu Chengzhou really couldn't do anything with her: "You didn't sprain your ankle..."

"But I can't walk anymore."

Jiang Aiyu opened her arms to him.

"Carry me on your back."

Lu Chengzhou had no choice but to squat down and let her lie on his back again.

"Teacher, you are so kind to me."

She pressed her cheek against his and gave him a light peck.

At this moment, they were no different from a real couple.

However, neither Lu Chengzhou nor Jiang Aiyu had any intention of establishing a relationship.

Ok……

That's right, Jiang Aiyu wasn't particularly eager to commit to a relationship.

All she longed for was a child...

It sounds outrageous, but that's really what she thought.

In her opinion, the best way to witness the love between them is to have a child together.

however……

Lu Chengzhou clearly had no intention of fulfilling her bizarre request.

Have a baby?

Stop joking.

How could a man who doesn't even plan to date allow a woman to have his child?

……

"Okay, we're back at the hotel again."

Looking at the familiar hotel environment, Lu Chengzhou silently complained to himself.

How can I skip that topic today?
