The Female Lead is Looking at Me Differently (GL) - Chapter 14

Obviously, You Zixia and Fu Yu had also heard of some of Lu Bicai’s deeds and reputation. Therefore, after You Zixia asked the question of “where to find Lu Bicai,” the three of them fell silent at the same time.

After a moment, Wen Zhao carefully suggested, “I think there’s only one way to do this, right?”

You Zixia paused and had to nod.

Indeed. And it wasn’t a secret. To lure the mysterious Lu Bicai out, there was probably only one way: “the beauty trick”. After all, Lu Bicai was a notorious flower thief. Wherever there was a famous beauty, there would be a trace of Lu Bicai.

It seems like luring him into a trap would be a good method. But the problem is, who will be the beauty used in this beauty trick?

Wen Zhao was actually quite eager to volunteer. After all, she was very curious about this famous flower thief—yes, truly famous, not a sarcastic remark.

Although he was a flower thief, Lu Bicai had unexpectedly won the hearts of many women. Some even hung scarves on their windowsills every night, just to attract Lu Bicai and form a good relationship with him.

Although this kind of obsession and madness was a minority, it was comparable to fanatical star chasing.

Although part of this was due to his handsome appearance and debonair demeanor, it was probably more due to Lu Bicai’s personality… charm?

The original novel didn’t describe Lu Bicai in much detail, he was more of a supporting character, but the author used the perspectives of some supporting characters and passersby to describe how popular Lu Bicai was among women, almost like the Pan An of the night = =.

Wen Zhao was really curious about this, because the less that was described, the greater the curiosity. If Lu Bicai’s full image had been clearly described, then Wen Zhao would no longer be curious.

However, just as she was about to tip-toe and volunteer, the silent system suddenly spoke up.

[A smart host never does things impulsively, but will think carefully before acting, for example, first check your female supporting character value.]

Wen Zhao: “…”

The flat and emotionless electronic voice instantly extinguished the eagerness in Wen Zhao’s heart, with a killing power comparable to a sterilizer.

So Wen Zhao immediately wilted.

She poked her finger and decided to be a bit more cautious for now. After all, this kind of thing would happen again in the future, but if her female supporting character value dropped below the passing grade, then it would be truly hopeless.

After all, Wen Zhao didn’t want to be controlled by the system, and even less to be controlled to kiss the male lead, that would definitely become a nightmare she didn’t want to recall.

So Wen Zhao quickly adjusted her spirit, returned to her familiar state, and began to prepare to use her white lotus tactics to increase her female supporting character value and promote the plan at the same time.

She glanced at Fu Yu next to her, then coughed lightly, and tentatively said, “If we really want to use the beauty trick, it seems like Senior Brother isn’t very suitable.”

You Zixia hadn’t realized the underlying meaning of Wen Zhao’s words. He simply smiled and said, “Of course. Lu Bicai and I are both men, if it were me… how could he fall for it?”

At this moment, Fu Yu raised her eyes and looked at Wen Zhao.

There were no extra emotions on her face, her eyes were calm, as if she already understood what Wen Zhao wanted to say. But Fu Yu didn’t interrupt Wen Zhao, she let her continue, as if indulging Wen Zhao’s mischief.

Wen Zhao was a little nervous under her gaze, and almost couldn’t continue acting, but fortunately, she was strong, so she could continue with a stiff smile.

Wen Zhao blinked lightly and took a deep breath; her eyes and brows carried a natural shyness, her expression was as soft and delicate as flower petals, and the mole at the corner of her eye made her look particularly charming.

Now, this delicate lotus is about to start exuding tea fragrance.

She gently raised her eyes to look at Fu Yu, her brows soft, her lips smiling, and then said, “So it’s just me and Miss Fu Yu.”

Hearing her soft voice, Fu Yu paused, her eyes darkened slightly, then she lowered her eyes, and her fingers moved slightly.

At this moment, even You Zixia came to understand.

He pondered for a moment, “Actually, there’s no need for the two of you to go out. After all, it’s just a rumor, as long as the rumor spreads, that should be enough, right?”

Wen Zhao said innocently, “But if you only hear the sound and don’t see the person, even Lu Bicai wouldn’t be so stupid, right?”

For an extraordinary performance, she got an extra bonus. The system generously gave Wen Zhao 10 female supporting character value.

Wen Zhao twitched the corner of her mouth, not knowing what to say. Could it be that the more she opposed the male and female leads, the more generous the system would be?

But fortunately, she didn’t feel guilty about earning these female supporting character value. After all, Wen Zhao had combined the original plot and analyzed it, and she was quite confident in Fu Yu’s combat ability, so she wasn’t worried that Fu Yu would suffer any losses at the hands of Lu Bicai, so she acted more freely.

Of course, Wen Zhao also learned a trick of retreating to advance, to deepen her lotus flower skills (?).

She raised her eyes, with a contrived emotion in her voice, “Of course, if Miss Fu Yu doesn’t want to, then I can do it. I…”

Before Wen Zhao could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Fu Yu.

“Okay,” she said. Then she lifted her eyelids and looked at Wen Zhao, with an indescribable emotion.

Wen Zhao was interrupted and couldn’t help but choke, stopping in place. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Fu Yu, a little… surprised.

After all, Wen Zhao felt that although Fu Yu already had some good feelings for her, there was still a long way to go before they became good friends or best friends. So under such a tea-like situation, Fu Yu shouldn’t agree so easily.

Although Fu Yu didn’t easily make enemies with people, it didn’t mean that she had a good temper. On the contrary, if she was displeased, although Fu Yu might not take the initiative to attack, she would definitely not engage in conversation.

So Wen Zhao had already prepared herself to be ignored, but she didn’t expect that as soon as she spoke, Fu Yu agreed so quickly.

After all, she hadn’t even finished stating her reasons for persuading Fu Yu.

“I…” Wen Zhao blinked, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Fu Yu grabbed her sword and walked over. She turned her head slightly to look at Wen Zhao, her voice soft, as if she wasn’t in a good mood. “Let’s go.”

“Ah…” Seeing that Fu Yu didn’t seem to be in a good mood, Wen Zhao opened her lips and didn’t know whether to respond.

Wen Zhao was actually quite puzzled about the current situation. Why had Fu Yu agreed so easily? She had expected Fu Yu to give her the cold shoulder for a few rounds, then reluctantly agree under You Zixia’s persuasion, or simply let Wen Zhao take the initiative.

After all, Fu Yu wasn’t the type who could be easily morally coerced. If she didn’t want to, then even if Wen Zhao threatened or bribed her, she wouldn’t succeed. But if she was willing… why did her mood suddenly turn cold?

Wen Zhao stood there, looking at Fu Yu’s back in confusion.

At this time, You Zixia gestured for Wen Zhao to follow, and at the same time he asked, “Fu Yu, is it alright?”

Fu Yu didn’t turn around, but simply said indifferently, “It’s fine.”

Her eyes were indifferent, her brows slightly furrowed, and a hint of barely noticeable resentment was hidden in the shadows.

However, this resentment was not directed at Wen Zhao, but at the yet-to-be-met Lu Bicai.

Fu Yu walked ahead, clenching her fingers slightly. She lowered her eyes, her eyes filled with a dark emotion.

Actually, as soon as Wen Zhao opened her mouth, Fu Yu realized what she meant, but Fu Yu didn’t care, or rather… she didn’t mind being used as a shield by Wen Zhao, nor did she mind standing in front of her to protect her.

On the contrary, Fu Yu was quite willing to protect her.

Moreover, seeing Wen Zhao, who had already exposed herself but hadn’t realized it yet, and was desperately trying to hide, was a bit… interesting and cute, like a rabbit trying to hide, making her want to laugh. That was why Fu Yu didn’t answer immediately, but stood there, watching Wen Zhao continue to perform with amusement.

However, when Wen Zhao retreated and mentioned that she would go, Fu Yu’s mood suddenly sank.

Because when she thought about the possibility of Wen Zhao being approached by Lu Bicai… a strange anger welled up in her heart.

This emotion was too strange, it was the first time Fu Yu had experienced it. Unlike the turbid and intense hatred, it was an emotion with a strong sense of aggression and possessiveness, making Fu Yu feel an inexplicable sense of rage.

That rage was directed at the unseen Lu Bicai, swirling and roaring in her heart, restless and endless.

That’s why Fu Yu interrupted Wen Zhao directly.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, suppressing the restlessness in her heart, and then returned to her usual appearance.

Wen Zhao followed behind the two, opened and closed her mouth, wanting to say something, but not knowing what to say. At this moment, Fu Yu who was walking in front suddenly turned around and looked at Wen Zhao.

Wen Zhao was startled by her action, and she opened her eyes wide in surprise, “Wh-what are you doing?”

Seeing the other person’s lively and startled look, Fu Yu’s lips moved slightly, feeling that the original anger in her heart had been diluted a lot. Her brows relaxed slightly, and the corners of her lips moved, then she suppressed a fleeting smile.

Fu Yu faced Wen Zhao and extended her hand to her. “Let’s go.”

Wen Zhao was a bit confused and said, “Ah…” The next moment, Fu Yu’s flying sword landed in front of her.

Well… how familiar you are (referring to the sword).

Wen Zhao twisted and turned, wanting to refuse, because she was still holding the newly acquired female supporting character value, and was afraid that if she agreed too quickly, the system would deduct her points again.

However, before Wen Zhao could finish hesitating, Fu Yu came to her side; then, Wen Zhao felt a hand placed on her waist, although it was gentle, but it had an undeniable presence. Wen Zhao trembled and quickly turned around, and then saw Fu Yu’s face.

“What are you doing?” she asked subconsciously.

Fu Yu lowered her eyes and looked at her from under her eyelashes, then exerted a little force on her hand.

Wen Zhao: “…Hey.”

She was carried onto the flying sword by Fu Yu.

Ah, this.

Then Fu Yu stood behind her, her breath spraying on Wen Zhao’s neck, and her hand did not withdraw, but still hugged Wen Zhao, and said to You Zixia, “Let’s go.”

You Zixia didn’t seem too surprised, but also stepped onto the flying sword, “Okay, let’s go.”

Wen Zhao was half-hugged by Fu Yu, and her mood was very subtle.

System, did you see that? This time it was really non-voluntary.
