The Female Lead is Looking at Me Differently (GL) - Chapter 13

Wen Zhao’s heart trembled slightly as the cool fingers pressed against her wrist. The warmth belonging to another person made her subconsciously curl her fingers, trying to retract them, but because Fu Yu was holding her wrist, she couldn’t move and could only stiffen in place.

Wen Zhao bit her lip, meeting Fu Yu’s gaze, and felt a subtle sense of panic in her heart. She was starting to regret her impulsiveness. Hadn’t they agreed to try to increase her female supporting character value when Fu Yu wasn’t looking? Why was she so impulsive?

The result of her impulsiveness was the awkward situation she was in now.

Fu Yu looked at Wen Zhao, her gaze, hidden beneath her dark lashes, revealed a hint of coldness. She stared at Wen Zhao with a cold, indifferent expression, as if trying to lock her in her sight.

It was obvious to anyone that Wen Zhao’s previous action was aimed at flirting with You Zixia. Whether she was truly uncomfortable was irrelevant.

But now, Fu Yu was staring at her intently, as if she wouldn’t let go until she got a concrete answer. There was a slight stubbornness and inexplicable persistence in her gaze.

The three of them were standing at the corners of a triangle, forming a subtle and almost legendary stable structure.

Facing Fu Yu’s gaze, Wen Zhao felt her hands stiffen. She wanted to cry but had no tears. Was this the legendary “shura field” she had heard about?

Wen Zhao felt her teeth ache. Even if she had been really uncomfortable, she would probably have recovered from the shock by now, let alone the fact that she wasn’t uncomfortable at all.
…In fact, it was more like Fu Yu’s intense gaze was making her feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, this suffocating silence didn’t last long. You Zixia broke the silence.

He seemed unaware of the subtle tension and positions of the three of them, and instead believed Wen Zhao’s statement. He asked with concern, “Hmm? What’s wrong, Junior Sister? Where are you feeling unwell?”

Then, remembering that Wen Zhao had been drenched in a basin of water, the worry in his eyes deepened, “Is it because of what happened just now… In such weather, you might easily catch a cold.”

Hearing him speak, Wen Zhao raised her head pitifully. No matter what You Zixia said, she was sincerely grateful to him at the moment.

However, the next moment, Wen Zhao heard You Zixia say with concern, “You should drink some hot water later.”

Wen Zhao’s gratitude turned into: “…”

Is this your way of showing concern, Senior Brother You?

Fortunately, because of You Zixia’s words, the tense atmosphere between the three of them suddenly dissipated.

Wen Zhao tentatively twisted her wrist and successfully escaped.

She lowered her head and rubbed her wrist, not knowing what to say for a moment, and dared not look up, afraid of meeting Fu Yu’s gaze.

At this moment, a sound came from the center of the lake, the sound of wooden wheels rolling on the ground. Someone came out of the pavilion in the lake.

You Zixia frowned slightly and looked over, then said softly, “Divine Doctor, Xie Ting.”

Hearing the name Xie Ting, Fu Yu paused slightly, suppressing all the expressions on her face and eyes, and returned to her expressionless appearance. Then she turned around and looked over.

Hearing that the main character had come out, Wen Zhao also quickly looked up. She saw a woman sitting in a wheelchair slowly coming out from inside, her hair tied at the nape of her neck, her appearance was clear and refined, and her brows carried a very faint emotion.

Unlike Fu Yu’s indifference, Fu Yu suppressed and discarded all her emotions, and now what remained in her heart was more of a hatred for revenge, which was why she appeared so cold on the outside.

But this divine doctor, Xie Ting, was truly indifferent and emotionless, as if nothing in the world was worth her attention.

Perhaps because of her leg injury or physical condition, her complexion and lips were pale, with only a hint of redness between her brows.

Seeing the three people standing outside, she said, “You haven’t submitted a visiting card, and yet you come to find me. Are you here to seek revenge?”

You Zixia stepped forward and bowed, “Please forgive us, Divine Doctor. We didn’t mean to offend you. We were just too anxious and broke the rules, it wasn’t intentional.”

Xie Ting looked over, although there was no displeasure in her expression, but she didn’t seem to be very welcoming of their arrival either.

“If you have nothing else, then leave. Considering that you passed the test of the formation, I won’t pursue your trespassing.” She said, and then turned to leave.

“Wait,” Fu Yu called out to her. She slowly raised her eyes and stared at Xie Ting, “A year ago, did someone come here?”

Xie Ting narrowed her eyes, “Many people have come to me.”

Fu Yu clenched her palm, “But that person would definitely leave an impression on you. He had just gone through a fierce battle, killed many people, and was covered in blood and wounds, with a mixture of blood and demonic aura. As long as you’ve seen him, you won’t forget. Tell me, how long did he stay here, and where did he go?”

By the end, a slight red had appeared in Fu Yu’s eyes.

There was a long silence.

Wen Zhao held her breath carefully, feeling a little worried. She looked at Fu Yu, whose emotions were so agitated, and suddenly felt a little sad.

After that bloody night, Fu Yu had cut off all her positive and happy emotions, leaving only hatred and pain to accompany her.

Usually, she seemed like a person who was indifferent to emotions, but when… when her emotions were intense, what erupted was only negative emotions of pain.

Xie Ting lowered her eyes and then said, “So, you’re looking for him to seek revenge?”

“Not only that,” Fu Yu’s eyes were slightly red, “I also want to tear him limb from limb and scatter his soul.”

Her voice was soft, but her tone was heavy, each word uttered slowly.

The air was still for a moment, and no one spoke. But soon, Xie Ting said, “I’ve forgotten that person.”

Fu Yu suddenly chuckled, a cold smile. She drew her sword and, looking at Xie Ting who was about to turn away, said, “Doctor Xie can try, perhaps I can help you recall this person.”

Xie Ting looked up, although she frowned slightly at being threatened, there was no anger or frustration in her eyes, she remained calm and indifferent, because it was very simple…

She knew who the murderer was, and she also knew where that person had gone.

As You Zixia and Fu Yu had speculated, that person had come to Xie Ting, was treated by her, and then left.

Logically speaking, Xie Ting, who was reclusive and disliked contact with strangers, shouldn’t have saved someone, as this was not the normal procedure for submitting a visiting card; but in the original plot, not only did she save the person, but she even offered to hide him, although she was refused.

And after the person had recovered, he left, saying to Xie Ting before leaving, “If she comes looking for me, come find me. Don’t hide my whereabouts. Tell her to come to the abyss to find me. I’ll be waiting.”

This was the original plot.

However, Xie Ting didn’t immediately agree to Fu Yu’s request.

She paused in place, then turned around and looked at them, “Want to know his whereabouts? You can, but you have to fulfill one of my requests.”

“What request?”

“Capture Lu Bicai.”

Fu Yu agreed immediately, but Wen Zhao widened her eyes in surprise. Because this was wrong!

In the original plot, although Xie Ting had indeed made a request, it was to ask Fu Yu and the others to investigate something, in order to delay their journey, rather than to capture Lu Bicai!

The plot had changed again.

Wen Zhao couldn’t help but wonder if this was the so-called butterfly effect? But it shouldn’t be, right? Just because they chose a different formation to break, would Xie Ting’s request also be different?

Could this be a text-based RPG game?

Wen Zhao couldn’t figure it out, she frowned in confusion, and then Xie Ting operated her wheelchair and turned to leave.

Before she left, whether intentionally or unintentionally, her eyes glanced at Wen Zhao, and a trace of emotion flashed in her eyes.

“Will she really tell us?” You Zixia asked uncertainly.

Fu Yu’s expression was cold, with a hint of dangerous killing intent.

“Let’s capture Lu Bicai first. Then, even if she doesn’t agree, I will make her agree.”

There was a cold light in her eyes, and her lips were tightly pursed.

Although Fu Yu bore a deep grudge, she didn’t let the hatred break her spirit or destroy her personality. Therefore, even though she knew Xie Ting was deliberately making things difficult, she chose to fulfill the agreement first before discussing anything else.

Even if she had to use special methods to force the issue, she would do so after Xie Ting had fulfilled her request.

Wen Zhao looked at Fu Yu’s profile, and couldn’t help but think, “Sure enough, this is Fu Yu.”

Then, Fu Yu suddenly turned her head and looked at Wen Zhao.

Wen Zhao was startled and looked up, “Wh-what’s wrong?”

The murderous aura that Fu Yu had faintly revealed earlier had subsided. Her black eyes stared at Wen Zhao, but she didn’t do or say anything, as if she was just confirming… that she was here.

Wen Zhao blinked hesitantly, startled by her own wild thoughts. By the time she came to her senses, Fu Yu had already looked away.

Wen Zhao coughed and turned her head away uncomfortably, but she didn’t know that the person next to her slightly raised her eyes, her gaze lingering on her for a long time.

“Speaking of which, where could Lu Bicai be now?” You Zixia asked.

Hearing the serious question, Wen Zhao came back to her senses and then frowned slightly, recalling the plot in her mind, and with difficulty pulled this person out.

Lu Bicai was also a relatively “famous” character. Although he didn’t appear much in the original novel, he unexpectedly had a high popularity, and some people even shipped Lu Bicai and Fu Yu.

He was handsome, debonair, and unrestrained, and was known for his mysterious whereabouts. He loved to twirl a paper fan and wore a flowing white robe, making him a very polarizing figure.

Wen Zhao didn’t know why Xie Ting would make the request to capture Lu Bicai, but if she thought about it from the perspective of her goal, she could probably understand.

Since she wanted to delay Fu Yu’s journey, she would definitely make a difficult request. And capturing Lu Bicai didn’t seem like a big deal, but Lu Bicai was notoriously mysterious, and unless he showed himself, no one else knew where he was.

From this perspective, it was indeed quite difficult.

Even Wen Zhao didn’t know where he would appear. But… there were always clues. For example, if a place was known for its beautiful women, then Lu Bicai would most likely appear there.

Because he was a “famous” flower thief.

Lu Bicai. Hmm… the name was quite interesting.
