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

In that brief minute, Lin Chen stared at him, trying to find a definite sign of his betrayal in his eyes.

But there was nothing there.

Lu Chengzhou looked at him calmly, without sadness or joy.

A minute later, the determination that Lin Chen had been forcing in his eyes, which was supported by jealousy, began to gradually melt away.

His fingers trembled slightly.

Pointing the gun at Lu Chengzhou was just an impulsive act; he didn't really want to turn against Lu Chengzhou.

At least, not now.

"Young Master Lin, does doing this make you feel any better?"

Lu Chengzhou suddenly spoke, and what he said was full of concern.

"If it can ease some of your anxiety and fatigue, then I think it's worth it."

He remained as gentle and understanding as ever.

This made Lin Chen's hands tremble even more violently.

He no longer dared to look at Lu Chengzhou.

Lu Chengzhou gently patted his shoulder.

"Aren't we brothers?"

These words completely broke Lin Chen.

He suddenly dropped the pistol in his hand and turned his back.

The night was cool and still.

The scenery outside the courtyard, under the orange-red lights, had a slightly eerie beauty.

"Brother Lu, please don't try to take it from me, okay?"

Lin Chen spoke with great difficulty.

"I only have one father, and no matter what, I don't want you to take him from me, okay?"

Lu Chengzhou assured him, "I will never take this from you."

Who would want to rob a dishonest old man?

There are people who are eager to be someone else's father, but there are probably not many who are eager to be someone else's dad.

Lin Chen felt much more relieved after receiving this assurance from him.

But that action just now...

How should I explain this to myself?

However, before he could rack his brains to explain, Lu Chengzhou gave him another reassurance.

“I know that I am of humble status and cannot be compared with the scions of wealthy and powerful families like you. I am already very grateful that Young Master Lin is willing to treat me as a brother, and I dare not have any other thoughts.”

Lu Chengzhou once again demonstrated what it means to have a "humble status".

Bow your head when appropriate!

This is the secret to self-preservation.

In this world, the barriers between the wealthy and the common people are more stringent than one might imagine.

Most people would feel inferior because of this barrier.

However, Lu Chengzhou would not do that; he would only use this barrier as his own protective charm.

Sure enough, these words made Lin Chen lower his guard a lot.

"Brother Lu, don't say that. Everyone is equal now."

Lin Chen turned around and grasped his shoulder.

"As long as Brother Lu can agree to this, I will do anything to help you in the future!"

These familiar lines, when heard by Lu Chengzhou this time, only made him want to laugh.

You can only listen to the domineering CEO's promise; don't take it too seriously.

I definitely need to be more careful when getting along with the male lead.

"Then, thank you very much, Young Master Lin."

……

After his thrilling late-night conversation with the male lead, Lu Chengzhou returned to his room.

Only then did he notice that his back was wet, as if he had been covered in a fine layer of sweat.

After that confrontation, I realized I was indeed a bit of a coward.

Fortunately, we managed to get through it without any major incidents.

Tonight, Meng Wanyu and Jiang Aiyu stayed in one room, while he slept alone in the next room.

The two rooms were separated only by a wooden screen, so even the slightest rustling sound could be heard.

Lu Chengzhou quickly washed up and lay down on the bed.

Just as I was about to close my eyes to rest, I heard the sounds of girls playing and laughing on the other side of the wooden screen.

"Miss Jiang, are you very ticklish?"

"Don't touch me, mmm..."

"How can I apply the medicine if I don't touch you?"

"There were no insect bites there!"

As Lu Chengzhou listened, he couldn't help but let his mind wander, so he had to sit up again, take out his earplugs, and plug his ears.

However, he had just lain back down and hadn't even had half an hour of peace when he saw the wooden screen being quietly pushed open.

Meng Wanyu peeked out slightly, observing the movements on the bed.

Jiang Aiyu stood behind her with her arms crossed, looking helpless.

"Can you please stop disturbing his rest?"

"What do you mean, 'disturbing'! You're the one who said you wanted to see that."

As Meng Wanyu said this, she secretly moved the screen aside a little.

Standing behind her, Miss Jiang lowered her head somewhat awkwardly.

"Well, it's not necessary to see it."

"Since we have such a good relationship, of course I'll grant you this small request."

"The teacher will be angry."

"He won't be angry, I promise."

Meng Wanyu sneaked in.

At this moment, Lu Chengzhou, lying on the bed, just wanted to slip away immediately.

God knows what this restless woman is up to!

Is it too late for him to turn things around?

Meng Wanyu had already walked to his bedside.

Lu Chengzhou could even feel her gaze sweeping over him.

At this moment, Lu Chengzhou felt like a piece of meat lying on a chopping board.

Honestly, it's pretty outrageous...

"Come on, Miss Jiang, don't be shy."

Meng Wanyu turned around and waved to her.

Jiang Aiyu hesitated for a while before tiptoeing over.

"Is the teacher asleep?"

"Who cares? Whether he's asleep or not, he's asleep!"

Lu Chengzhou: "..."

Please, you two, show me some respect!

What does it mean to say that whether you sleep or not, you still sleep?

Meng Wanyu placed her hand on his lower abdomen.

Jiang Aiyu's cheeks flushed slightly. She tugged at Meng Wanyu's sleeve again and whispered, "Let's forget about it. Doing this would still be somewhat offensive to the teacher."

Meng Wanyu said seriously, "You're not even afraid of giving birth, why would you be afraid of this?"

Jiang Aiyu hesitated and said, "Having children has nothing to do with this."

Meng Wanyu smiled and said, "Tell me, are you really stupid, or are you pretending? How can this not be related?"

Jiang Aiyu: "..."

Lu Chengzhou: "..."

Just as Meng Wanyu was about to make a move, Lu Chengzhou coughed, pretending to have just woken up, stretched, and sat up.

"Aren't you asleep?"

Meng Wanyu quickly withdrew her hand, as if she had been burned.

Lu Chengzhou yawned and said lazily, "I slept for a while, but I had a terrible dream, so I woke up again."

As he spoke, he began to scrutinize the two beautiful girls beside him with a critical gaze.

"What's wrong? Why are you two up here at night, discussing something by my bedside?"

Meng Wanyu snorted coldly: "Are you here to study whether you grind your teeth in your sleep?"

Jiang Aiyu remained silent throughout...
