The Female Lead is Looking at Me Differently (GL) - Chapter 15

Since they didn’t need to rush this time, the speed of their sword flight was not very fast. On the way, You Zixia and Fu Yu were discussing where to set up their “hunting” location.

—Or rather, where to choose as the “jar”.

The jar in the idiom “catch a turtle in a jar”, cough.

Wen Zhao stood in front of Fu Yu. When flying on the sword, as usual, she turned around and faced the direction in front of Fu Yu. Although the wind wasn’t very strong this time, her movements had become very skilled.

Wen Zhao leaned against Fu Yu, listening to You Zixia’s suggestions, while also thinking at the same time.

To be honest, although this incident deviated from the plot development, she felt a bit of novelty, and even a bit of excitement. After all, this was the first time Wen Zhao had truly “participated in the plot,” and it was an original plot belonging to them.

How to say it, it gave Wen Zhao a feeling that she could also integrate into the protagonist group, and not like before, where she was a bystander with a script in hand, detached from the outside world.

This time, she was a participant fighting side by side.

Because of this high-spirited and happy mood, Wen Zhao’s brain was also spinning rapidly, trying to activate her little wit.

She searched her mind for the various scenes in the original novel where Lu Bicai appeared, and then came to a conclusion. Wherever Lu Bicai appeared, there would definitely be a beautiful woman, and vice versa.

Well, this is a law that is almost a truism.

However, Wen Zhao did think of a scene.

Lu Bicai’s second appearance in the book was because a certain courtesan was going to “get married”. On that day, almost the whole city went there. People were talking, watching the excitement, and the wealthy were spending lavishly, competing to buy a night of spring.

And at that time, Lu Bicai also went.

There’s no need to say more about the following plot. The one who won the courtesan’s heart and that night was naturally Lu Bicai.

From this, we can see that if we can create a similarly influential event, we might be able to attract Lu Bicai without having to take action ourselves.

But the problem is, where can I find a famous courtesan?

Suddenly, Wen Zhao thought of a way.

It doesn’t have to be a courtesan, any other famous person will do.

So Wen Zhao turned her head and asked You Zixia, “Senior brother, I thought of a way, maybe we can do two things at once.”

You Zixia raised his eyebrows in surprise, “What is it?”

Wen Zhao said, “Besides creating our own hype, we can also utilize the influence of others, for example… is there any famous beauty whose birthday is coming up soon? Or is there a beauty pageant somewhere… cough, things like that? Even if there isn’t, we can make some up, and it will still attract Lu Bicai.”

Hearing her suggestion, You Zixia smiled slightly in surprise, “That’s actually a feasible method. I didn’t expect you to think of this, Junior sister.”

He smiled lightly, with a touch of relief.

Receiving praise from You Zixia, Wen Zhao felt a sense of affirmation. She couldn’t help but smile back, with a little pride, “Of course, because…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Wen Zhao felt the hand on her waist tighten, both like a warning and a sign of annoyance. Although it didn’t hurt, it made Wen Zhao’s heart skip a beat, filled with guilt.

Needless to say, it must be Fu Yu.

Sorry, qwq, I was a little too arrogant.

Wen Zhao interrupted herself and slowly turned her head, no longer looking at You Zixia. At the same time, she quietly clenched her fist, afraid that Fu Yu would get angry and throw her off the flying sword… Although the female lead wouldn’t do such a thing, Wen Zhao couldn’t help but feel guilty.

Fu Yu lowered her eyes and easily saw the trembling eyelashes of the person in her arms, and her slender white fingers that unconsciously clutched her clothes, looking cautious, like a rabbit.

Fu Yu paused, the dull annoyance in her heart dissipated, and a relaxed emotion spread. She pursed her lips slightly, a hint of playfulness flashed in her eyes, and the expression between her brows relaxed a lot.

At this time, the system started its old saying again: [Female supporting character value.]

Wen Zhao was frantic in her heart, [I just offended the female lead, and you want me to earn female supporting character value? Look down now, is the height we’re flying at high enough? If I fall now, will I still be alive?]

The system was speechless.

Perhaps because Wen Zhao’s question was so genuine, the system couldn’t bear to deduct her points for a while.

However, it still said indifferently, like a domineering CEO (?), [Don’t do this again.]

Wen Zhao: [“… Don’t act like you’re spoiling me!]

Based on Wen Zhao’s new idea, You Zixia, after thinking about it, actually thought of a suitable place, which was Luoyue City, a prosperous town not far from the Lotus Platform.

It was really a coincidence.

Rumor has it that the city lord of Luoyue City had a beloved daughter who, although not stunningly beautiful, was considered to be exceptionally talented. And recently, it just happened to be the day of the city lord’s daughter’s coming-of-age ceremony.

You Zixia said, “I heard that the city lord has been publicizing it widely for several days. It seems that he wants to find a suitable husband for his daughter when she comes of age. Lu Bicai should also have heard the news, and he might come here to check it out.”

Whether it was to join in the fun or to get involved, as long as Lu Bicai heard the news, according to his character, there would be a high probability that he would come to investigate.

If they added the news of Fu Yu that they spread, it would increase the weight even more.

Speaking of the main topic, the fear in Wen Zhao’s heart gradually subsided. She quietly glanced over and nodded.

“Yes, and I heard that Luoyue City is bustling and prosperous, and any news should be able to spread quickly. If we split up and work together, I think it will be very easy to find Lu Bicai.”

You Zixia also nodded with a smile.

At this moment, Fu Yu said indifferently, “Then, who will go with whom?”

Ah… this was a really sharp question.

Wen Zhao actually wanted to quit directly and let the male and female leads handle it, but unfortunately, it was too OOC, so she had to continue acting.

But in order to avoid offending Fu Yu too much, Wen Zhao still toned down her tea-like behavior. She also tried to soften her voice, hoping not to sound too arrogant.

“I think… we should group according to our combat strength.”

Fu Yu raised her eyebrows slightly, her ink-black eyes fixed on her, her eyes filled with her figure.

“Then do you think, who is stronger between me and You Zixia, and who are you going to follow?” Her eyes deepened slightly.

Wen Zhao: “……”

How… how did it suddenly feel like a life-or-death question?

The wind blew gently by her ears, but it made Wen Zhao feel cold inside.

She thought for a moment, then came up with an answer.

“I… naturally follow Senior Brother. After all, everyone knows that Miss Fu Yu is very strong and talented. Even if you face Lu Bicai, you won’t suffer any losses. And Senior Brother and I are from the same sect, so if we really encounter Lu Bicai, we can cooperate.”

Wen Zhao’s voice was soft, with a touch of warmth. She opened her eyes innocently, maintaining the image of a female supporting character while also flattering the female lead. This time, she gave herself full marks.

However, things turned out slightly different from what she had imagined.

Fu Yu looked at Wen Zhao and suddenly curled her lips into a slight smile.

But the smile was cold, and Fu Yu’s eyes didn’t have any smile in them, but were instead deep and dark, making people feel a little suffocated.

Wen Zhao suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Fu Yu looked at her, her tongue moved slightly, but in the end, she didn’t reveal the true face that the person in her arms was desperately trying to hide. She closed her eyes and swallowed the statement.

…..Forget it, since she doesn’t want people to find out, then there’s no need for me to expose it because of a momentary anger.

Fu Yu was silent for a moment, then opened her eyes and stared at Wen Zhao, simply saying, “Then I’m afraid you misunderstood. Your Senior Brother You is even stronger than me.”

You Zixia, who was suddenly praised: “Ah, ah…?”

Does he?

Wen Zhao: “….”

What’s going on? Did she compliment the female lead incorrectly?

She understood. It turned out that the female lead didn’t like her clinging to the male lead, so she said that on purpose, and she could also casually praise You Zixia. Sure enough, she must have already fallen for him?

But she really didn’t notice! Fu Yu was hiding it too well.

Wen Zhao hesitated, and then said honestly, “Then I’ll still follow Senior Brother, after all, I’m too weak, and I can’t hold others back. Senior Brother is stronger and can take care of me a little.”

Hearing her say this, You Zixia also nodded. After all, Wen Zhao was his junior sister, and he should take care of her more, and he couldn’t always trouble Fu Yu.

However, just before You Zixia could speak, he heard Fu Yu say again, “Oh, I said it wrong just now, in terms of strength, I’m still a little stronger than You Zixia.”

Having said that, Fu Yu raised her eyes and glanced over, looking at You Zixia, with a strange… slightly hostile and comparative coldness in her eyes.

You Zixia: “……”

Wen Zhao: “……”

Ah, this.

Wen Zhao stammered, “Th-this matter, let’s discuss it later.”

At the same time, her heart was crying, QAQ the female lead seems to have really taken a liking to her, hmm.

When they arrived in Luoyue City, the bustling and lively atmosphere here was completely different from the small town they had been in before. This was a truly big city.

Wen Zhao opened her eyes wide in surprise. After all, she was a country bumpkin and this was the first time she had come to a bustling city.

You Zixia glanced around, and then said, “Why don’t we find an inn first?”

Wen Zhao nodded quickly. After all, places to eat are often places to gossip. If they sat in an inn for a while, they might be able to get a lot of news.

Just as Wen Zhao was about to take a step, a hand reached out to her.

She looked up in confusion and saw Fu Yu’s delicate but cold face.

Wen Zhao: …?

Fu Yu lowered her eyes, “Follow me.”

Ah…

She looked at Fu Yu’s hand hesitantly, feeling confused. Could it be that Fu Yu was afraid she would get lost?

No, think about it from another angle, could it be that she was afraid that Wen Zhao would find an excuse to hold You Zixia’s hand, so she chose to take the initiative?

No, as expected of Fu Yu.

Feeling hinted at, Wen Zhao pursed her lips and said, “I, I don’t want to.”

I won’t hold the male lead’s hand, so don’t worry!

Fu Yu’s expression turned cold for a moment. She looked at Wen Zhao and said nothing, making her feel a little uneasy.

The next moment, she felt a strange warmth on her hand, and Wen Zhao was held by Fu Yu.

“Eh…?”

Before she could say or do anything, Fu Yu had already pulled her forward.

T/N: She wants you, you idiot 😆.
