The Female Lead is Looking at Me Differently (GL) - Chapter 41.2

Because she never thought it would develop like this, and she couldn’t imagine what kind of thing, or what happened, that made Wen Zhao so painful and indecisive, that she burst into tears but couldn’t make a decision.

No, perhaps she had already made a decision, which was that she couldn’t go to Fu Yu.

That’s why she was so sad.

Zhan Fu fell silent. She gently patted Wen Zhao’s back, feeling the sadness the other was releasing in her arms, and was silent in her heart.

After a long time, Wen Zhao’s voice gradually lowered.

Zhan Fu gently wiped her tears, lowering her eyes.

“A Zhao, although I don’t know what exactly makes it difficult for you to face Fu Yu, there’s one thing you need to know: whatever choice you make, it must be one you won’t regret.”

“It might make you sad, heartbroken, and painful, but it will never make you regret it. Otherwise, even if you have a slight regret, you should reconsider the current situation.”

“Of course, I can’t really imagine what kind of situation would make you so difficult to choose between the unknown and your lover, and you have to choose one. But no matter what, I believe you have your difficulties, and I can understand you, so A Zhao.”

She wiped away Wen Zhao’s tears, “As long as your heart doesn’t regret it, then go ahead firmly.”

Wen Zhao raised her eyes, her eyes red from crying, like petals of a sea flower soaked in water.

She bit her lower lip, her eyelashes trembling.

Wen Zhao stayed at the City Lord’s mansion for a long time before going back. On the way back, she had calmed down and had also tidied up her appearance.

While walking on the road, Wen Zhao had already adjusted her mood. After all, after crying, she felt like the pressure in her heart had decreased a lot, and she was no longer so stuffy.

Moreover, the current situation didn’t allow her to always indulge in such a sad and self-pitying mood. She had to follow the plot and brush up her female supporting character value. If she slacked off at this time, it would mean that all her previous efforts had been in vain, so Wen Zhao had to be strong.

When she returned to the inn, she didn’t see You Zixia or Fu Yu downstairs; considering that she wanted to tell them about Zhan Fu, Wen Zhao didn’t go back to her room, but went to You Zixia’s room to find him first.

Fortunately, You Zixia didn’t wander around, but stayed in his room drawing talismans. When he heard someone knocking on the door, he came out directly.

Seeing that it was Wen Zhao, he was a little surprised, “Junior sister? What’s wrong?”

In You Zixia’s impression, although his junior sister had been very clingy to him before, that feeling was more like a younger sister’s dependence on her elder brother, so You Zixia could understand and always agreed with Wen Zhao.

And since coming down the mountain, gradually, he had a feeling that Wen Zhao had grown up. Although she would still show a spoiled side sometimes, more often, she could think independently and calmly.

In addition, perhaps because she met Fu Yu, Wen Zhao spent less and less time clinging to him.

Therefore, when Wen Zhao suddenly knocked on the door to find him, You Zixia was a little surprised, and even wondered if something had happened.

Wen Zhao said, “Senior brother, it’s like this, Zhan Fu wants to join us, can you agree?”

“Zhan Fu? Why would she want to travel with us, and would the City Lord agree?” You Zixia was a bit surprised. Then he thought of what Zhan Fu had said about wanting to go out and explore, and he paused slightly. “Zhan Fu’s idea, it couldn’t be a whim, could it?”

“Not really,” Wen Zhao thought for a moment, then pondered her words. “You know that Zhan Fu and Lu Bicai… had some things happen between them, so she has some things she wants to confirm with Lu Bicai. But since we’re going to take Lu Bicai to Xie Ting, Zhan Fu’s original plan can’t be completed, so she wants to travel with us.”

Hearing this, You Zixia understood a little, and he was slightly dazed, with a vague sense of melancholy. “I see. I think I understand.”

Wen Zhao asked, “So?”

You Zixia replied, “It’s okay, I think. Of course, this is just my own opinion, after all, the princess can also protect herself. But… I don’t know if Fu Yu will agree. We should at least ask her opinion.”

Hearing him mention Fu Yu’s name, Wen Zhao lowered her eyes. “I haven’t asked Fu Yu yet. I need… to ask Senior brother to ask for me.”

You Zixia was puzzled and subconsciously asked without thinking, “Huh? Why don’t you just ask Fu Yu yourself? After all, your relationship is so close.”

Hearing his words, even though she had already built up her psychological defenses, Wen Zhao couldn’t help but pinch her fingers at this moment. She paused for a moment, then said softly, “It’s not convenient for me, Senior Brother, you go. Fu Yu and I… we’ve already…”

You Zixia was puzzled, “You… you broke up?”

Wen Zhao wasn’t surprised that You Zixia had discovered the relationship between her and Fu Yu, after all, they had been so close and had never hidden it. And since Zhan Fu had noticed, she might have also exchanged information with You Zixia. Therefore, You Zixia might know.

But what Wen Zhao didn’t expect was that his mind would jump to the conclusion that they had quarreled.

She couldn’t help but curl her lips with a bit of helplessness and bitterness, although it was a bit ridiculous, but it was more of a feeling of melancholy.

Wen Zhao said softly, “No, we didn’t quarrel, it’s just that we’ve separated.”

You Zixia opened his eyes wide in surprise, “Sepa-separated? What’s going on, what happened? Was it because of a quarrel?”

Unexpectedly, he kept going back to the quarrel, and Wen Zhao couldn’t help but laugh, but her expression was a bit sad.

If the problem between her and Fu Yu was just a quarrel, how nice it would be.

However, Wen Zhao couldn’t tell the real reason, so she could only vaguely say, “It’s not because of that, Senior brother, don’t guess anymore. In short, Fu Yu and I no longer have a relationship, and it’s not convenient for me to ask, so you go.”

Although she had said that they would return to their original positions and be friends again, when Wen Zhao really faced this already cold relationship, she realized how difficult it was.

It was hard for her to do so calmly.

Especially when she knew clearly that she wasn’t truly indifferent to Fu Yu.

You Zixia, though a bit simple, wasn’t truly foolish. Seeing this, he didn’t ask any further, but nodded. “Alright, I’ll ask Fu Yu for you later.”

Wen Zhao nodded.

Just as she was about to leave, the system reminded her, [Don’t forget you still have female supporting character value, I suggest you brush up on them now, because you’ve already reached a critical point. If you don’t brush up on them now, I’m afraid you’ll be in danger later.]

Wen Zhao realized that she should brush up on her female supporting character value.

Returning to her familiar routine, she almost couldn’t adapt.

Although for the current Wen Zhao, even if she was controlled by the system to brush up on her points, she didn’t care, but… she still didn’t want to.

Because Wen Zhao didn’t want to have a scene where she forcibly kissed the male lead.

So she turned around and looked back at You Zixia, “Senior brother…”

You Zixia asked softly in confusion, “What’s wrong?”

Wen Zhao said, “I feel a bit uncomfortable, Senior brother, my heart hurts so much… can you give me a hug?”

This was the most fitting for a white lotus female supporting character, and it was also her true feeling at the moment.

Her emotions were genuine because Wen Zhao… was really feeling bad.

Hearing this, You Zixia’s heart moved. At that moment, it was as if he saw his junior sister again, who had run to him crying for comfort after being bullied when she was young.

You Zixia’s heart softened as well. He was a kind-hearted person, and he was also indecisive and empathetic, so seeing his junior sister feeling bad, he felt bad too.

Moreover, as her senior brother, he should be the protective one, and this sense of responsibility made You Zixia feel even more guilty, as if he hadn’t taken good care of his junior sister.

So he reached out, “Come here.”

Wen Zhao took a step forward and fell into his embrace.

An unfamiliar scent surrounded her, a hug that was completely different from Fu Yu’s, with a hint of unfamiliar masculine scent, making Wen Zhao feel a bit unfamiliar.

But at the same time, it also gave her a feeling of warmth, almost like family.

Perhaps because she was currently playing the role of a junior sister, so unconsciously, Wen Zhao really took on the role. After all, isn’t a senior brother like a brother?

So at this moment, Wen Zhao really had the illusion that… You Zixia was her brother.

Although he couldn’t perceive her thoughts as delicately as a hair, he could give Wen Zhao a broad hug when she was feeling down, showing the care of a family member.

You Zixia sighed inwardly, not knowing what to comfort her with. After all, love is so difficult to understand, especially in a situation where both parties are female. As an outsider, You Zixia couldn’t offer a better solution, so he could only use the most distant way to comfort Wen Zhao.

He patted Wen Zhao’s back, although he had many words to say, but he was afraid of saying the wrong thing, so he decided to simply keep quiet.

However, a moment later, You Zixia froze in place.

Because he saw someone walking up from the corner of the stairs.

Black hair, black clothes, a sword at her waist. Cold eyebrows, an ethereal beauty.

She lifted her dark eyes and looked over from a distance.

Although there was a distance between the two, You Zixia felt his whole body stiffen involuntarily at this moment, as if he had done something wrong and had been caught red-handed.

However, what terrified him the most was not this inexplicable feeling that arose in his heart, but the look in Fu Yu’s eyes.

Her face seemed calm, her emotions indifferent, but in those deep dark eyes, there was a dark emotion that was slowly turning thick like a whirlpool.

Her eyes were like an abyss, staring fixedly at You Zixia.

Although she didn’t show any obvious murderous intent, You Zixia already sensed something was amiss.

He subconsciously said, “Fu Yu…”

Hearing You Zixia’s words, Wen Zhao was startled, and then she clenched her fingers slightly, not wanting, or daring, to look back at Fu Yu’s face at this moment.

Because it was too embarrassing…

She didn’t want to look back at Fu Yu like this.

And most importantly, Wen Zhao didn’t want to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings.

She was already suffering from this difficult choice, and Wen Zhao didn’t want to turn around and face Fu Yu at this moment, nor did she want to convey any wrong messages to her.

She closed her eyes tightly, her hands trembling slightly. Then, Wen Zhao lowered her head and buried herself deeper in You Zixia’s arms.

At this moment, Wen Zhao couldn’t help but despise herself.

What kind of state was she in, wavering left and right, hesitating and indecisive, and ending up feeling so miserable and painful? This was such an ugly sight.

So, she absolutely shouldn’t look back now. That’s it. Since she had already decided to go home, she shouldn’t send any wrong signals to Fu Yu, and she shouldn’t… let Fu Yu get involved anymore.

The reason why their relationship had become like this was all her fault. Whatever consequences and bitterness she would face in the future, she would bear them alone.

She only hoped that after a brief period of pain, Fu Yu could forget her.

Then, she would also take this unspeakable feeling back to her world.

Perhaps the beginning of their relationship was a mistake from the start.

Fu Yu’s eyes moved slightly, falling on the fragile figure nestled in the man’s arms. After a moment, she lifted her foot slightly and walked over step by step.

For some reason, at that moment, You Zixia felt that Fu Yu’s gaze was exceptionally cold and empty, giving him a desire to escape.

But Fu Yu’s emotions had always been static, as if there were no waves to perceive.

Her emotions were like the water at the bottom of a deep well at night, looking calm and still, but anyone would feel a sense of unease.

Standing in front of the two, Fu Yu slowly raised her eyes, revealing those cold black eyes. Then, she smiled slightly.

Only this smile carried a chill.

Afterwards, Fu Yu didn’t say anything, but simply turned and left, passing the embracing couple without glancing at them.

Only she herself knew that although she seemed indifferent, her nails had dug deep into her palm.

Fu Yu closed her eyes slightly, covering the crimson in her eyes.

After watching Fu Yu leave, You Zixia felt a sense of relief. He pursed his lips and then asked, “Junior sister, did you intentionally want Fu Yu to misunderstand?”

Wen Zhao took a step back and left You Zixia’s embrace. She lowered her head, hiding her emotions. “Senior brother, I don’t know what you’re talking about. And… don’t discuss things between me and Miss Fu Yu anymore.”

Her eyelashes fluttered, vaguely covering the mole under her eyes.

“I have nothing to do with her anymore, you’re just making it difficult for me.”

You Zixia said, “But…”

Wen Zhao said, “Senior brother, from now on, Miss Fu Yu and I are just friends. I’ve already adjusted my mindset, after all…”

She pinched her fingertips, as if talking to herself.

“If you don’t like someone, then you don’t like them, and there’s nothing you can do about it.”
