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

Lu Chengzhou calmly bent down slightly and scratched the back of his foot: "You're overthinking it, it's just itchy here."

Lin Chen's gaze towards him instantly turned disdainful.

This guy...

How could you be so crude?

How can you pick your toes in front of other people?

Although, strictly speaking, he wasn't picking at his feet, but rather the insteps.

"Alright, I won't waste my breath on you. I'm here today to ask you for a favor."

Lin Chen's pleading tone was as irritating as ever.

Lu Chengzhou strongly suspected that he wasn't there to ask for help at all, but rather to be beaten up.

Seeing him casually sit on the only sofa in the room, Lu Chengzhou closed the door and walked over.

I sat opposite Lin Chen, watching to see what kind of performance he would put on.

"Go and beg Meng Wanyu to forgive my debt." Lin Chen didn't waste any words with him or stand on ceremony; he got straight to the point.

However, this really has nothing to do with asking for favors.

That tone was so arrogant!

Lu Chengzhou disliked it very much.

So he slowly stood up, walked to the bar, and pretended to be mysterious.

Lin Chen crossed his arms and watched his back.

"Didn't you hear me clearly? I'll say it again, you go and beg..."

"Oh, no, I heard you clearly."

Lu Chengzhou turned around and showed him the kettle in his hand.

"I'm thirsty now, let me make myself a pot of tea first."

……

Fifteen minutes later.

……

The room was filled with the aroma of tea.

The VIP room is fully equipped with tea-making tools and tea bags.

With Lu Chengzhou's exceptional culinary skills, he actually managed to make the most of these free tea bags.

The aroma was so enticing that Lin Chen was stunned.

He couldn't help but stand up, go to the bar, and glance at the tea that Lu Chengzhou had brewed.

Isn't this just a regular tea bag?

Does this combination elevate the flavor?

Lu Chengzhou poured two cups of tea and handed one to him.

Lin Chen took it, blew on it to cool it down, and took a small sip.

Holy crap!

Lin Chen immediately swore.

This high-end flavor is so similar to some kind of fine imported tea that his father treasures!

It's too ridiculous.

That tea costs tens of thousands of yuan per kilogram, yet it tastes almost the same as a tea bag that costs only two or three yuan!

Were those curry-flavored foreigners fooling them, or does Lu Chengzhou possess magic?

Looking at the male lead's naive and unsophisticated demeanor, Lu Chengzhou couldn't help but click his tongue twice.

Hey~

It seems that even the richest man in Yicheng is nothing special.

There are too few good things to see.

Lin Chen drank the tea in his cup in one gulp.

Then, he returned the cup to Lu Chengzhou.

"Don't interrupt me." Lin Chen snorted coldly. "Now that you've had your tea, it's time for you to do my job."

Lu Chengzhou showed the tea in his hand.

It's still almost full.

"I haven't had any yet. Let me drink the tea first."

……

After half an hour.

……

Lu Chengzhou finally finished his tea at a snail's pace.

Lin Chen was about to burst into curses.

Is this just deliberately teasing him?

Unfortunately, even though he knew he was being teased, he could only endure it and stay put.

"Alright, now we can talk about compensation."

"Compensation? What compensation?"

Lin Chen's reaction was noticeably a beat slow.

Lu Chengzhou chuckled and said, "I'm helping you, you're not planning to do nothing in return, are you?"

Upon hearing the word "sacrifice," Lin Chen's lips twitched slightly.

A petty person who only cares about profit!

Even though they know he has no money, they still insist on asking for payment.

We were supposed to be brothers!

This is what brothers should do!

Seeing that he really didn't intend to pay, Lu Chengzhou feigned disappointment and sighed.

Next, they started playing the victim and reasoning!

"It's not that I'm unwilling to help you, Young Master Lin."

"Look, you asked me for help, and now I have to ask Miss Meng for help. You know what kind of temper Miss Meng has!"

"She won't agree to me easily without paying a price."

"I don't care about myself, but your... your matter is very important, isn't it?"

Every word Lu Chengzhou said struck a chord with Lin Chen.

Lin Chen's expressions changed in a truly fascinating way.

He felt that Lu Chengzhou made sense...

For a moment, he felt a little ashamed of his desire to get something for free.

That's truly rare.

But he really didn't have much money.

She didn't know when her father would give up the idea of ​​an arranged marriage, nor did she know how much longer she would have to run away from home.

He couldn't possibly give all the money he had to Lu Chengzhou!

In that case, he would inevitably have to borrow money from Meng Wanyu again, which would be a vicious cycle.

Lu Chengzhou poured him another cup of tea.

"Think it over carefully, Young Master Lin."

This constant stream of sweet talk gradually got Lin Chen completely drunk.

He gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, took off the Guanyin jade pendant hanging around his neck, and slammed it on the table.

"I'll leave this with you as collateral for now. I'll ask you to redeem it when I return to the Lin family!"

Lu Chengzhou was stunned for a moment.

Has the male lead gone mad?

Doesn't he have any idea how much this Guanyin jade pendant is worth, enough to build several buildings?

This is imperial green material, the work of a national treasure-level master.

Most importantly, it has been blessed and can truly ward off evil and disaster.

The male protagonist in the original work repeatedly escaped danger and was always inextricably linked to this.

Now that he's taken this off and mortgaged it to Lu Chengzhou, will he start having bad luck?

Thinking of this, Lu Chengzhou felt a surge of turmoil in his heart.

For a moment, he didn't know whether he should take it or not.

The main concern is that if something happens to the male lead, it could implicate him, the supporting male character.

Just then, there was another knock on the door.

Lin Chen's eyelids twitched; he sensed that troublesome people might be coming.

So, he instinctively pulled back the sheet and crawled under the bed.

Incidentally, she gave Lu Chengzhou a "shh" gesture.

Lu Chengzhou shook his head with a wry smile.
