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

The last glimmer of hope in Lu Chengzhou's heart gradually faded away.

He knew that it was probably beyond saving.

I'm not the main character after all, and I don't have the kind of luck that allows a protagonist to "step on a thousand-year-old ginseng with a casual step".

"Wait! Perhaps I can have Lin Chen come and find him?"

Lu Chengzhou felt that at this moment, it was necessary to borrow the male lead's luck.

However, he extinguished the thought as soon as it arose.

Lin Chen is now very wary of him, and his petty nature has resurfaced. Why would he listen to his arrangements and come to help find some centipede?

"Teacher, look what this is."

Just when Lu Chengzhou was about to give up, Jiang Aiyu made a breakthrough.

Lu Chengzhou walked to her side and saw that under her heel was a wriggling red centipede.

For a moment, I was stunned.

Jiang Aiyu wrapped it in leaves and put it into the plastic bag she carried with her.

"Alright, it's getting late, we should head back."

On the way back, Lu Chengzhou began to wonder whether the centipede was caught by chance or secretly put down by Jiang Aiyu.

Could this seemingly innocent guy actually be quite cunning?

Thinking of this, Lu Chengzhou couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.

……

Back at their residence, Meng Wanyu was waiting for them at the door.

She couldn't help but laugh when she learned that they had spent the whole day catching centipedes.

"Have you all forgotten what my family does?"

Jiang Aiyu was stunned for a moment.

Soon, she remembered that the Meng family's biggest business was selling medicinal herbs.

However, the centipedes she needed were not the ordinary centipedes that the Meng family had in abundance.

"It has to be really red."

Jiang Aiyu gestured to her to show her the size and color of the centipede.

Meng Wanyu shrugged: "Yes, we do have those, but I usually sell them as ordinary centipedes by weight."

Jiang Aiyu fell silent.

She knew that she might have looked down on the Meng family.

With their huge business of medicinal herbs, what kind of precious medicinal herbs haven't they seen?

It's simply a matter of seeing more or less.

Meng Wanyu continued, "So, besides this, what else do you need?"

"Another 113 kinds of traditional Chinese medicine are also needed."

"Well then, Miss Jiang, thank you for your trouble. Please finish writing down those 113 kinds of medicinal herbs tonight."

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Aiyu took out a pre-written prescription from her backpack and handed it to Meng Wanyu.

"You were prepared all along?"

Meng Wanyu had a strange feeling that she had been deceived.

The seemingly naive guy in front of him frowned and looked at Lu Chengzhou.

"Teacher, can you do me a favor tonight?"

Meng Wanyu also frowned.

What kind of trouble is this guy up to now?

"I think I might have been bitten by bugs. It hurts here, and here, and there."

"Since it's the step of applying medicine, then I can help you with the same thing."

Meng Wanyu took over the conversation expressionlessly.

Such little tricks couldn't escape her eyes.

Lu Chengzhou was happy to have some free time, so he waved and watched them leave.

"Ah, the moonlight is lovely tonight too."

Looking up at the bright moon over the world, Lu Chengzhou sighed.

It's unknown whether Master Lin has the luck to be brought back to life.

Just as he was about to enter the room, he saw Lin Chen sitting in the pavilion not far away, also gazing blankly at the moonlight.

Their eyes met briefly across the fence.

They have different thoughts.

In just a few seconds, they had probably exchanged hundreds of blows.

Lin Chen's lips curled into a playful smile:

"Brother Lu, want to talk?"

354. If you're not afraid of childbirth, why would you be afraid of this?

At this point, Lu Chengzhou was actually not very willing to interact with the male lead.

Especially when he saw the male lead's wicked smile, he always felt that this guy was going to plot against him.

This wasn't an overreaction to the crisis, but rather a reasonable conjecture based on facts.

However, Lu Chengzhou, who was always timid but not cowardly, still walked towards the direction where the male lead was.

When Lin Chen saw him coming, the jealousy and resentment in his heart actually faded away.

"sit down."

Lin Chen offered him a seat, and the two sat facing each other.

"Brother Lu, a lot has happened lately."

The conversation between the two had a nostalgic, reminiscent atmosphere from the very beginning.

Is this a move to play the emotional card?

Lu Chengzhou gradually became wary.

However, he still maintained a calm and composed expression.

His inner thoughts are completely unfathomable.

"Young Master Lin, are you feeling a little tired?"

"Yes."

"Perhaps, I can relax, take a break, or go on vacation or something."

"Brother Lu, please don't say that."

Lin Chen looked at him with a half-smile: "Could it be that Brother Lu really doesn't know why I feel tired?"

Behind these words, of course, lay murderous intent.

Lu Chengzhou forced himself to calm down...

However, Lin Chen suddenly pulled out a pistol from his waist and pointed it at his forehead.

For a moment, a strong sense of crisis made Lu Chengzhou's heart almost stop beating.

Lin Chen was still smiling as he said, "Lu Chengzhou, you've done so much for me, I'm grateful, and I'm willing to share my wealth and glory with you, but..."

"But you shouldn't be trying to steal my father's love."

"Moreover, I now strongly suspect that you are deceiving me."

"I suspect that all of this was premeditated by you!"

The more he spoke, the sterner his tone became.

Lu Chengzhou sighed and closed his eyes.

He suddenly realized Master Lin's sinister intentions.

The fact that Master Lin adopted him as his godson can only be described as half true and half false.

If he had agreed then and there, the fake brotherhood he had built with Lin Chen would have instantly crumbled.

If he doesn't agree, things will turn out like this...

Lin Chen will still be wary of him.

So, Lin Chen is testing him right now.

After figuring this out, Lu Chengzhou's fear actually subsided a lot, and he just found it funny.

Fortunately, he knew the male lead's character well enough and never treated him as a real brother or friend.

otherwise……

How heartbroken he must be when things come to this.

Perhaps it was at this moment that Lu Chengzhou made a ruthless decision.

If he has the opportunity in the future, or if the day comes when he has no choice but to take action, he will definitely get rid of Lin Chen, this scourge, himself.

Once and for all!

silence.

Stagnant.

The atmosphere gradually dropped to freezing point.
