There is also a section in the plot where the male protagonist and the second male lead's favorability in the female protagonist's heart hits rock bottom, paving the way for their emotional rebound later on.
But now Xie Chen, who felt that he had met his destined person again and again, sat quietly next to Shen Lianqing.
Shen Lianqing was always so focused that she couldn't see anyone else when she was working or doing other things, so the male protagonist Xie Chen had been watching her expressionless report for a while without her noticing.
Until the assistant made another sharp alarm sound, [Why is the hero by your side! 】
who? Male protagonist? ! !
Shen Lianqing immediately switched to the poor persona as if she was trying to catch a fish at work and met her boss, and before the punishment appeared, she cringed and got under the table.
Xie Chen:......
Is he so scary? Seeing him was like hiding from a scourge.
"Shen Lianqing?"
The young man with stern eyebrows stretched out his hand and slowly placed it on the top of her furry head, rubbing it gently, "What's wrong with you?"
Shen Lianqing didn't dare to speak. She didn't know how the male protagonist acted in such an intimate manner, as if they were related. She was afraid that she would be shocked by the mechanism of the punishment system whenever she moved or responded.
The gaze above her head stayed on her head, and the slender hands passed her line of sight, and the blue veins under the fair skin were clearly visible.
After staying in front of her for a while, this hand quickly grabbed her wrist, the strong muscles under the thin skin and tender flesh tightened, and with a little force, she lifted her whole body up.
Shen Lianqing slid down and was lifted up and put back on the original stool by him. He smiled, with a coldness in his voice, "Don't want to see me?"
Shen Lianqing really wanted to shout, yes, stay away from me! But the character didn't allow her to do this, so she had to lower her head silently, neither nodding nor shaking her head.
Xie Chen laughed angrily at her several attempts to avoid him. The more she tried to avoid him, the more he wanted to pull out the rabbit ears she had hidden in the cave. "Did I help you twice?"
Shen Lianqing nodded mechanically with her thick hair on her head, slowly and hard, like an aging car that had not been moving for a long time, and the only sound was a clack when it started.
"Am I kind to you?"
Shen Lianqing recalled how she was brought back to his home soaking wet, put on clean and comfortable clothes, took a sip of hot soup, and used his height advantage to help her get the books she needed from the library.
Indeed, the male protagonist is a good person with good conduct and helpfulness.
She nodded slowly.
"So." Xie Chen folded his hands on his knees, "Do you want to give me a gift for my birthday?"
Shen Lianqing raised her head stiffly, met his obsidian eyes and lowered her head as if she had been stung.
"Yes or no?"
Shen Lianqing's bangs moved up and down with her movements. Xie Chen knew that she had promised him, but it was not enough. What he wanted was far less than this.
What does he want?
He wanted to further confirm whether she was the one he was destined for. He wasn't heartbroken, but he wasn't disgusted either. He wanted to get in touch with her further. If they were suitable together, it wouldn't matter. If they weren't, there would be nothing to say.
Once Xie Chen decides on something, he will definitely do it.
He currently regards Shen Lianqing as his destined person, and he feels uncomfortable seeing her cowardly and inferior appearance. He feels that she cannot be like this if she wants to be with him in the future. She needs to change. At least, she has to stand with him. The courage to be together.
With this in mind, he took her wrist and said, "Come for a walk with me."
"But..." Shen Lianqing opened the computer with her face open. Xie Chen knew what she was doing at a glance. Isn't it the thesis assignment assigned by the professor?
"I'll write it for you." It's just a few thousand words.
real?
Shen Lianqing was ecstatic. She had not wanted to touch this thing for a long time. She had graduated and was already a teenager. Who still remembered how to write a thesis? Wouldn't it be embarrassing for her?
She originally planned to write it casually, but since the male protagonist said so, of course she, being a poor little girl, had to shirk it for a few times and finally couldn't resist the male protagonist and let him write it!
She didn't violate her character, the male protagonist forced her to write it for her!
Shen Lianqing followed Xie Chen with small steps while holding her rabbit sack. After they left the classroom, Wen Xunzhou came out from the corner. He gently showed a gentle smile, "It turns out that Lao Xie likes this."
He wanted to see what kind of charm she had that made even Xie Chen, who was so arrogant, fall under her pomegranate skirt.
Xie Chen didn't take Shen Lianqing out of school simply for a walk. In order to satisfy his inner subtle desire for control, he first asked the hairstylist to cut off Shen Lianqing's long bangs.
Shen Lianqing huddled in the chair and refused to let Teacher Tony touch her hair. Under the white light, only the bones could be seen, and her slender fingers were tightly covering her head.
Xie Chen's eyelids jumped and he grabbed her fingers with his warm palm. He leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Don't move. Do you want to embarrass me at my birthday party?"
"But...but I didn't promise you to go to your birthday party..." Shen Lianqing whispered back to him. She didn't know what the male protagonist was up to. Could it be the first time they met and he was shocked when he touched her? Silly?
[Assistant, have you seen it? The male protagonist is crazy. He wants me to attend his birthday party. 】
Little Helper:【……】
It also thought that the male protagonist was crazy, but as a knowledgeable system assistant, how could it agree with the host who was doing a mission for the first time, so it righteously refuted Shen Lianqing's words.
[The male protagonist invited all the classmates in the class to his birthday party. You are just lucky enough to be in his class and he is a relatively pitiful person to help you. Don't think too much. 】
【oh. ] Shen Lianqing laughed meaningfully, [I will listen to you. 】
Seeing her talking to him so much at once, Xie Chen glanced at her in surprise and took the scissors from Teacher Tony, "You want to give them to me in that corner? I, Xie Chen, will only accept your gifts at home. .”
Shen Lianqing's head lowered again, and Xie Chen held it up with his other hand, "Don't hide from me Shen Lianqing, I'm not helping you for charity. You must stand upright and upright at my birthday party." Give it to me."
"I know...I know..." The scissors passed along the horizontal line of the eyebrows. Shen Lianqing couldn't help but close her eyes, her eyelashes trembling. She listened to the sound of the hair being cut off and falling to the ground. Her fingers were bUff's blessing. He nervously grasped the armrests on both sides of the chair.
Xie Chen performed the surgery himself. Seeing Shen Lianqing's snow-white face showing off, with traces of pink on her lips from being bitten, his eyes flashed and he returned the scissors to the hairstylist, "Take care of it for her."
The barber took the scissors respectfully and thought, you two young lovers are quite interesting.
