The Female Lead is Looking at Me Differently (GL) - Chapter 16

Fu Yu didn’t say anything more, but directly took Wen Zhao’s hand and led her inside.

The cool temperature belonging to another person covered her palm. Besides the smooth skin, her fingertips touched a layer of calluses, which made Wen Zhao clearly realize that the person holding her hand at this moment was Fu Yu.

Unlike the last time they held hands; that time, Fu Yu had reluctantly agreed to her request to comfort Wen Zhao who was crying because she was scared, so she reached out and took Wen Zhao out for a stroll, more of a passive gesture.

But this time, it was Fu Yu who took the initiative, and Wen Zhao became the passive one instead.

Wen Zhao felt a little uncomfortable for the first time. She lowered her eyes, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her gaze occasionally glanced at Fu Yu’s hand holding hers.

She was led forward by Fu Yu, step by step, just like a little child. The only difference was that a child might get lost and lose someone, but as an adult, Wen Zhao would definitely not do something so stupid.

Wen Zhao looked up at Fu Yu’s back, then bit her lip, her expression filled with confusion.

It wasn’t that she was averse to holding hands with Fu Yu. It’s just that, she didn’t know if it was her own psychological effect or something else, but Wen Zhao always felt that Fu Yu was a little strange recently… but she couldn’t say exactly what was strange. If she had to describe a feeling, it was that she felt like she was always being targeted and locked onto by Fu Yu.

Not to mention, just talking about the recent breaking the formation incident, the look Fu Yu gave her was as cold as ice and snow, her gaze was dangerous, as if she was warning Wen Zhao, declaring her sovereignty to her.

This made Wen Zhao, who was already timid, even more cowardly.

Could it be that Fu Yu finally noticed her tea-like behavior?

Or did she awaken her love radar ahead of time, so she positioned Wen Zhao as a love rival, and therefore deliberately targeted her in everything?

Wen Zhao couldn’t figure it out, but this didn’t prevent her occasional feelings of guilt and panic. After all, she had impure motives and a guilty conscience, although she had been trying to hide it, but if Fu Yu really found out her true face…

Wen Zhao didn’t dare imagine what would await her then.

She didn’t want to go back and finally reach the end only to turn around and see Fu Yu taking out a little notebook to keep track of grudges.

Thinking about this, Wen Zhao felt her fingers stiffen. She even had the illusion that Fu Yu would pull her aside and give her a big gift package the next moment.

Such panic made Wen Zhao subconsciously want to explain something to Fu Yu, but… it seemed like there was really nothing to explain. Everything she had done was real tea-like behavior, and explaining more now would only make things worse.

Wen Zhao was trembling, feeling as if a hawk was hovering over her. Although she was holding hands with Fu Yu, her mind was completely devoid of any warm and imaginative pictures.

All she could think of were endless fantasies.

In such a short period of time, Wen Zhao had even figured out how she would kneel and beg for mercy from the female lead.

The three of them arrived at an inn, and You Zixia went to book a room first. After all, this mission to capture Lu Bicai couldn’t be accomplished in one go, and they would probably have to stay here for a few days, so it was better to book a room in the inn in advance.

After entering the inn, Wen Zhao finally found an opportunity to let go of Fu Yu’s hand.

She lowered her head and followed behind, carefully touching her own hand, and then her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

She said to the system: [Initially, I couldn’t wait to hold hands with Fu Yu and develop a deep friendship, but now…]

The system: [But now, you’ve looked at your female supporting character value and succumbed.]

Wen Zhao: [No, I succumbed when I saw the female lead’s murderous gaze.]

System: “……”

In the past, Wen Zhao was happy to be close to Fu Yu, but now, every intimate contact with Fu Yu made her break out in a cold sweat and start to doubt whether she had done something else to make Fu Yu resent her.

To be honest, at this point, Wen Zhao didn’t dare to open the favorability panel to check Fu Yu’s favorability towards her, because what if she looked and found a negative number? Her little heart really couldn’t take it. And if she didn’t look, then the female lead’s affection for her would always remain the unchanged 36 points!

It was a typical case of deceiving oneself.

Even the system was speechless at such behavior.

You Zixia went to book a room, but was told that there were only two rooms left.

The innkeeper looked at the three of them and smiled leisurely, “Guest, why don’t you see how you want to arrange it?”

Wen Zhao: “…..”

This plot was too cliché! Even the original novel wouldn’t dare to write like this!

Although it was cliché, there was a lot of room for a green tea female supporting character to cause trouble.

If it were before, Wen Zhao would have dared to challenge it. After all, no matter what, as long as she went through the motions, her female supporting character value would definitely be obtained, and You Zixia might not agree, so there would be no impact on Wen Zhao. Why not?

But now…

Wen Zhao swallowed and didn’t even dare to try. If she wasn’t afraid of being deducted points, she would even want to say something absurd like inviting the male and female leads to share a room.

You Zixia frowned in embarrassment, “Is… is there really no vacancy?”

The innkeeper flipped his abacus and said to him, “You must be an outsider. You probably don’t know, but in a few days, it will be the coming-of-age ceremony of the daughter of the city lord of our Luoyue City. I heard that on that day, both the city lord and the young master will come to witness the ceremony. It’s said that it’s to witness the ceremony, but in fact, they are also preparing to find a good husband for the young lady.”

“Not to mention how beautiful and charming our young lady is, just the identity of the son-in-law of the city lord of Luoyue City is enough to make many young masters and cultivators yearn for it. Combining the two, so many outsiders have poured in these days, and it’s overcrowded for a while, naturally there are no vacant rooms.”

After saying that, the innkeeper smiled gossipy and deliberately asked You Zixia, “Are you here for this matter, young master?”

As soon as Wen Zhao heard this, she subconsciously thought: Another good opportunity to gain female supporting character value! As long as she went over and holds You Zixia’s arm, and then made a declaration of sovereignty in such and such a way, wouldn’t the female supporting character value be easily obtained? Simple!

However, before she could say anything, she caught a glimpse of Fu Yu standing beside her, so Wen Zhao moved her lips and forcibly swallowed her words.

No, I dare not…

Her, her female supporting character value, qwq.

Hearing the innkeeper’s teasing remark, You Zixia blushed and quickly explained, “No, no, of course not. Don’t talk nonsense.”

The innkeeper smiled but didn’t say anything else.

You Zixia turned to Fu Yu and Wen Zhao, “Fu Yu, Junior sister, there are only two guest rooms, what do you think…”

What else was there to think about? Of course, it would be her and Fu Yu in one room, and You Zixia in one room by himself. Was there a better arrangement than that?

Thinking of this, Wen Zhao couldn’t help but sneak a glance at Fu Yu, but unexpectedly met her gaze. Her black eyes held a refracted light, dark and brilliant, extremely beautiful. On Fu Yu’s face, it was truly… expressive and captivating, like a soul brought to life in a painting.

No wonder… even Lu Bicai was stunned and amazed at first sight of Fu Yu.

Wen Zhao was stunned in place, but Fu Yu was the first to look away. She looked indifferent, lowered her eyes slightly, as if she didn’t care at all, as if it was no big deal to share a room with a stranger. She simply said to You Zixia, “There’s nothing we can do about it, so let’s do it this way.”

Her generous appearance was indeed very much like a female lead.

You Zixia also nodded, “Okay, but you two will have to put up with it.”

Wen Zhao: … Senior brother, so you didn’t even ask me?

Although, even if You Zixia dared to ask, Wen Zhao wouldn’t dare to say anything casually anymore.

Therefore, the room assignment was quickly determined, and there was no need for any deliberation.

While eating dinner, the three of them sat there, and their positions and layout were somewhat similar to when they had first come down the mountain.

It’s just that Wen Zhao at that time was still bold enough to eat melon seeds and talk sweetly, but now she had lost her courage.

The system expressed its disappointment.

[You do your thing to gain female supporting character value, why do you care about the female lead?] Its disappointed tone even carried a bit of human emotion.

Wen Zhao lowered her head and ate her food, muttering to herself.

[Yes, it’s not you who will be receiving the luxurious meal in the future. There will be fish, meat, and vegetables, it will be so luxurious, do you want to try some?]

System: “…”

Wen Zhao ate her meal, responded to the system, observed the male and female leads, and at the same time pondered in her mind how she should handle the night, truly a multi-tasking CPU.

Logically speaking, as girls, there was nothing wrong with her sleeping with Fu Yu. At most, one person could sleep at the head and the other at the foot, and they could each cover themselves with a blanket. But the problem was… the beds in the inn didn’t seem to be very big.

Although she hadn’t inspected it in person, based on Wen Zhao’s previous experience watching TV shows and her visual estimates, this inn was clearly not the kind with luxurious king-sized beds. Therefore, the beds here should be about the same size as dormitory beds, right?

That meant that if she and Fu Yu slept on the same bed… they would inevitably be pressed tightly together!

Wen Zhao felt so tense that her whole body went stiff just thinking about it.

What if, what if Fu Yu woke up in the middle of the night, was in a bad mood, and kicked her out of bed?

Wen Zhao was already so nervous that her mind was racing with all sorts of wild thoughts.

Of course, she knew that everything she was thinking was imaginary. After all, someone like Fu Yu would never deliberately kick someone out of bed, but she couldn’t help but be nervous.

She even thought of the incredibly unlikely scenario of accidentally sleeping on top of Fu Yu in her sleep.

What should she do? She was so nervous she couldn’t breathe.

And just when Wen Zhao thought she was already nervous enough, Fu Yu suddenly spoke, asking a question that added fuel to the fire of her tense and stiff emotions.

“Speaking of which,” she raised her eyes lightly, her ink-black pupils looking in Wen Zhao’s direction.

“Have you decided who you want to team up with?”

Although her eyes were indifferent, they held a focused and serious light, firmly locking onto Wen Zhao, leaving her nowhere to hide, as if no matter where she hid, she would be caught by Fu Yu.

“With me, or with You Zixia?”

She asked.

Wen Zhao: “…………”

You’re doing this again?!!

T/N: Hahahaha…
