The Female Lead is Looking at Me Differently (GL) - Chapter 47.2

But the murderer wanted Fu Yu to live in hatred, in a life consumed by the flames of grief and pain, so that she could come to the abyss and find him. That’s… why all this has happened.

Wen Zhao took a deep breath, feeling utterly exhausted.

Xie Ting had agreed to treat Fu Yu and allowed them to stay at the Lotus Platform. Although she didn’t know why Xie Ting didn’t mind, at least the owner had agreed, so Wen Zhao and the others didn’t refuse.

Wen Zhao specifically chose a room close to Fu Yu’s. Leaning against the window, she looked out at the scenery and was lost in thought.

Once the icy poison was cured, Fu Yu would wake up… but Wen Zhao didn’t know how to face Fu Yu.

She covered her face with her hands, her head aching.

She had clearly decided to separate from Fu Yu and go their separate ways until the end of the story. But so many things had happened, and she and Fu Yu were entangled once again.

Wen Zhao knew that this was inevitable. She was very clear about what she needed to do now, but she was afraid that Fu Yu would be dragged into this again.

Fu Yu seemed to have almost adjusted her mentality, but then the matter of the icy poison and the aphrodisiac happened.

Wen Zhao sighed, only hoping that Fu Yu… would be fine, even if she was angry, as long as she directed it at her. She didn’t want Fu Yu to be sad or upset.

At that moment, someone knocked on the nearby window. Wen Zhao looked over and sure enough, it was Zhan Fu.

With her arms crossed and a thoughtful look on her brow, she asked Wen Zhao, “Don’t you think the way Lu Bicai and Xie Ting interact is a bit strange?”

Wen Zhao had naturally noticed this as well, but with insufficient clues, she couldn’t speculate or guess anything.

Zhan Fu narrowed her eyes, “I always feel that Lu Bicai’s current situation is inseparable from her sect.”

Wen Zhao pondered for a moment, “Perhaps. Or perhaps not, but… if you want to investigate, it would be very troublesome. Neither Lu Bicai nor Xie Ting seem like the kind of people who would talk about these things.”

“Ah, indeed.” Zhan Fu shrugged, not discouraged. “I’m just keeping this guess in mind, after all, my current goal is not to investigate Lu Bicai’s past experiences.”

Wen Zhao looked at her, “Then…?”

Zhan Fu smiled, “Now my goal is naturally to communicate with her and develop a good relationship.”

Wen Zhao smiled, “Since you’ve made your feelings clear, I naturally want to wish you success, but you have to remember, don’t play any more princess games, Lu Bicai won’t fall for that.”

Mentioning this, Zhan Fu felt a little embarrassed, but at the same time, she was also a little annoyed. “Yeah, she doesn’t fall for that. She only likes the little girl act.”

Wen Zhao, who had been suppressing her emotions, suddenly relaxed. She chuckled and shook her head, “Good, even if you’re jealous, you have to follow the basic rules. After all, right now, the relationship between you and Lu Bicai is still very clear.”

Zhan Fu snorted, dissatisfied. “Really clear? If you ask Lu Bicai, does she dare to say that our relationship is clear? She doesn’t dare, so she wants to escape. But this young lady can’t stand her escaping, so I have to pull her back and make her face it properly. If she really doesn’t like me…”

Zhan Fu raised her eyebrows, “Then this young lady will naturally have to work harder.”

Wen Zhao smiled, rather admiring Zhan Fu’s personality.

“Have you figured out how you’re going to handle things with Fu Yu?” Zhan Fu asked.

Wen Zhao paused, the smile slowly fading from her face.

“How to handle it… Honestly, isn’t it just the same as before? Although she and Fu Yu are entangled again because of the aphrodisiac, I know that this is an emergency measure to help Fu Yu recover the antidote. And the reason why I’m helping Fu Yu recover the antidote…”

“Perhaps there’s a reason for my own feelings, but it doesn’t mean anything, and it can’t lead to anything more.”

“Because I know and have already decided, a decision that hasn’t changed since I first separated from Fu Yu.”

“It’s just that now, Wen Zhao’s mood has calmed down, no longer so sour and bitter. No matter what decision Fu Yu makes, she will respect it and bless her.”

Seeing Wen Zhao’s expression, Zhan Fu knew her decision.

Leaning against Wen Zhao’s window, she said earnestly and cautiously, “Actually, if it weren’t for some very important reason, why don’t you and Fu Yu give it another try? You both have feelings for each other, and Fu Yu is deeply in love with you. Although she is a woman, I think… there are probably very few people in the world who can have the same feelings for you as she does.”

Wen Zhao lowered her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering.

“I know, I know everything. Fu Yu… she’s very, very good, but it’s precisely because of this that if I can’t be with her in the end, I shouldn’t give her false hope. It’s better to end things early, for both of our sakes.”

Hearing this, Zhan Fu narrowed her eyes, and she directly caught the information in Wen Zhao’s words. “Sooner or later we’ll separate, and we won’t be together in the end… What do you mean? Are you worried that you won’t like Fu Yu in the end? Or something else…”

Wen Zhao smiled helplessly, “I can’t explain the reason, but… it’s just like I said. So instead of cruelly ending the relationship after Fu Yu has fallen deeply in love, it’s better to end it before it really begins.”

After all, Wen Zhao didn’t know what would happen after the plot ended and she returned home. Would “Wen Zhao” disappear directly? Or would the original owner come back?

But no matter which result it was, Wen Zhao couldn’t accept it, and it would also bring great pain and shock to Fu Yu. Wen Zhao didn’t dare to imagine that situation, so she decided to cut everything off at the beginning to minimize the chance of Fu Yu suffering such heart-wrenching pain.

Zhan Fu leaned against the window, studying Wen Zhao’s expression, and then sighed helplessly, “It seems you’ve completely made up your mind…”

Compared to the first time she had cried to Zhan Fu, Wen Zhao had now regained her calm and composure. When she mentioned this matter again, she no longer hesitated or wavered. Perhaps there was still pain, but she had hidden that sadness very well.

And precisely because of this… Zhan Fu knew that Wen Zhao had made a decision, her heart was like a rock, and she wouldn’t go back on it.

••••

In the evening, Wen Zhao went to see Fu Yu.

The other person was still asleep, but her complexion had improved a lot. Xie Ting said that the icy poison in her body had been removed, and only the aphrodisiac remained. Before leaving, Xie Ting seemed to intentionally remind her.

“The aphrodisiac was created by Lu Bicai, and even I can’t unravel its properties, but… Lu Bicai herself can. Now that the icy poison has been removed, whether or not to continue to keep the aphrodisiac is up to you.”

After saying that, she left.

And upon hearing her words, Wen Zhao was stunned on the spot and couldn’t recover for a long time.

Yes… yes.

How could she have forgotten this?

She only remembered that Lu Bicai had the aphrodisiac, but she forgot that she had once said that the aphrodisiac was her own creation, and even Xie Ting couldn’t find an antidote, except for… herself.

Perhaps because when Wen Zhao was poisoned, Lu Bicai had already disappeared, so no one thought of capturing Lu Bicai to give Wen Zhao the antidote, which also led Wen Zhao to believe that during the seven days when the poison was active, she could only be relieved in a human way.

This left her with a wrong impression, causing her to subconsciously think that the aphrodisiac could only be resolved in that way, but she forgot…

When the aphrodisiac didn’t need to take effect, it could be directly resolved with an antidote.

Wen Zhao slowly lowered her eyelashes and came back to her senses. She smiled slightly, with a hint of helplessness.

She was so stupid… how could she forget such a thing?

But, was she really forgetting it, or was she… deliberately forgetting it?

Wen Zhao took a breath and sat down by the bed, reaching out to touch Fu Yu’s face. Her movements were gentle, her fingertips lightly touching the other person’s temperature and touch, Wen Zhao closed her eyes, then made up her mind.

Since she had already decided everything, she shouldn’t hesitate anymore.

She told herself that in her heart.

Then, Wen Zhao prepared to go find Lu Bicai and ask her for the antidote.

Just as Wen Zhao was about to take action, Fu Yu, who was under her hand, moved her eyes and woke up.

In such an abrupt and unexpected situation, Wen Zhao and Fu Yu met each other’s gaze.

And at this moment, her hand was still on Fu Yu’s face.

Fu Yu seemed to have just woken up and was still a little groggy. She blinked a few times, and the emotions in her eyes gradually cleared up.

Then her eyes moved slightly, and those inky black eyes met Wen Zhao’s.

Wen Zhao’s heart skipped a beat, as if it had been burned by fire, and she withdrew her hand.

Fu Yu lowered her gaze and naturally saw Wen Zhao’s movement, but her expression was calm, showing nothing.

Fu Yu looked around her surroundings, then said softly, “Is this the Lotus Platform?”

Wen Zhao pursed her lips and nodded in agreement.

Because she had just woken up, Fu Yu was organizing and recalling what had happened before. Then, she didn’t know what she remembered, but Fu Yu opened her eyes again and looked at Wen Zhao. Her eyes scanned Wen Zhao’s face carefully, as if confirming something, and then she closed her eyes again.

Wen Zhao’s heart moved slightly, and her fingers curled up slowly.

At that moment, she seemed to understand the emotions that Fu Yu had not explicitly expressed.

She was… confirming if Wen Zhao was injured.

Wen Zhao’s heart trembled slightly, with a panic that she didn’t even dare to confirm.

Fu Yu’s behavior undoubtedly reminded Wen Zhao of what she had done for her at the inn.

To help Wen Zhao, she could even ignore the dangerous situation on her side, and simply suppressed the dangerous situation on Wen Zhao’s side, which eventually led to the icy poison entering her body and causing her to fall into a coma.

Thinking of this, Wen Zhao felt a pain in her heart.

But she clenched her fingers tightly, restraining her facial expression and not allowing herself to show too much. Because Wen Zhao knew that she was about to talk to Fu Yu about something, she… couldn’t show too much emotion.

Taking a deep breath while Fu Yu was closing her eyes and thinking, Wen Zhao said, “There’s something I need to tell you.”

Hearing her voice, Fu Yu opened her eyes and looked over.

Her eyes were as black as ink, like a vortex that could draw people in. When Fu Yu looked at people, there was always a faint indifference in her eyes, because she didn’t care about others, and she wouldn’t put them in the category of people she cared about.

But only when facing Wen Zhao, the faint chill in her eyes would subside, becoming extremely gentle and serious.

Wen Zhao pinched her fingertips.

“Earlier, you were poisoned by the icy poison, and in order to help you temporarily suppress the poison, after discussing it, I… borrowed Lu Bicai’s aphrodisiac from her to control the icy poison in your body.”

“In other words, although the icy poison in your body has been removed now, the aphrodisiac still exists.” Wen Zhao’s eyelashes trembled. “But don’t worry, Lu Bicai must have an antidote. I, I’ll go find her…”

Fu Yu interrupted her.

She asked softly, “The aphrodisiac must have been planted yesterday, so who was the one who gave me the antidote yesterday?”
