I played the role of a cannon fodder scumbag, but I was the heartthrob

——City Lord's Mansion——

Hua Jingmian was eager to see Ye Zhao, but when he really saw him, he hesitated.

He twisted his hands together unnaturally. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but now he saw Ye Zhao shining like a thousand-foot-long ray of light.

But it was very far away from him, he couldn't touch it, and he couldn't look at it directly.

"Master." Hua Jingmian mustered up the courage to break the silence and raised his voice unnecessarily.

Ye Zhao was admiring the flowers, and he was a little uncomfortable when he heard the voice that usually asked for a beating now sounded a little more cautious.

Slowly turning around, he saw the protagonist running towards him in a middle-aged shirt and barefoot, "Huh?"

Although it was just a short word, Hua Jingmian stared at him intently after receiving the response.

At this moment, Ye Zhao's true face was fully revealed without any concealment. His features were clear, his eyebrows were cold, and his eyes were as deep as the sea of ​​stars. Just one look at him would inspire awe.

Hua Jingmian inexplicably felt an urge and put it into action. He ran over, grabbed a piece of sleeve as if to test something, and knelt on one knee.

Shamelessly, a blush spread from the tips of her ears to her neck, "Master."

With this action, Ye Zhao was a little breathless, his body was stiff, and he didn't know where to put his hands.

Goosebumps appeared on my back.

"Master." Not getting a response this time, Hua Jingmian called again.

There was no other way, so Ye Zhao responded perfunctorily, "Yeah."

I resisted the urge to push him away, purely out of gratitude for saving my life. Or perhaps, this was the only person who listened to him without looking at his face, which made him a little special.

"Master, when you came back to save me, were you injured?" Hua Jingmian looked him up and down nervously.

Apart from his pale face, Ye Zhao showed no signs of external injuries, but he was worried that he might have internal injuries.

Ye Zhao stood up and helped him up. "I'm fine. But you, why did you run back?"

"You are my master, how could I really..." Hua Jingmian stopped talking in time, "I mean, if it was someone else, I would save him too."

Ye Zhao took advantage of the situation and pulled him to sit down, his face solemn, "Next time there's danger, if you can't beat me, run away first."

Sounds rather unassuming, doesn't it?

As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. If you can't get your reputation and life back, it's not worth mentioning.

"Huh?" Hua Jingmian was dumbfounded.

How could he suddenly express what was in his mind?

Do great minds think alike?

"It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. As your master, it's my responsibility to protect you." Ye Zhao said this at least on the surface.

Besides, Dong Xuefeng only has him and the protagonist. If they all die, won’t there be no one to succeed them?

This lineage can't be destroyed in his hands like in the original novel, right?

Hua Jingmian nodded repeatedly, "Yes."

"Thank you for your kindness." Ye Zhao looked straight at him with a sincere and unpretentious gaze, like a meteor across the sky.

Caught off guard, Hua Jingmian's gaze froze, then disappeared in an instant, "Master, you won't hit me, you won't punish me?"

"I told you, you understand, isn't that enough?" Ye Zhao said, "This won't happen again."

Hua Jingmian said without hesitation, "What if I don't listen..."

"Let's talk about it when the time comes. Why bother yourself?" Ye Zhao said.

When Hua Jingmian heard this for the first time, he was speechless.

It seemed like the first time I got to know Ye Zhao, and also the first time I encountered such a helpless situation.

"Then, you rescue me too, and we'll be even. Next time I argue with you or poison you, I won't let you off." After Hua Jingmian's expression changed, he raised his chin in a ferocious manner.

He talks tough, but he knows everything in his heart. He has never won when it comes to poisoning.

"No need." Ye Zhao was not afraid, he lowered his head and looked at his left sleeve, "Let go first."

"I won't." Hua Jingmian pulled even tighter.

What’s wrong? Did you take the wrong medicine?

Ye Zhao frowned and then quickly restrained himself. He had to maintain his personality.

"If you don't let go, I'll hit you." Ye Zhao gritted his teeth and said harshly.

Hua Jingmian shook his head like a rattle, "I won't let you go even if I die. Besides, Master, you won't hit me."

He remembers what I just said.

Ye Zhao was speechless for a while.

The brainwave calls the system and communicates with it: System, take a quick look, this unlucky child must have taken the wrong medicine, why would he die for no reason?

The system responded with an electric current: [Calm down, host. He survived a disaster, so it's normal for him to be a little excited.]

Ye Zhao pursed his lips: Do you think his attitude towards me is weird?

"Oh, what's so strange about that? You saved his life, so why should he be polite to you? Besides, being nice to him now won't be out of place. The original owner's favorability will soar if someone respects him during hard times and doesn't probe his face. If he sees it one day, he'll kill him. That's how it's set up. Be a little arrogant, straighten your back, hold your stomach in, and hold your head high." The system was proud of him.

Ye Zhao's mouth twitched, he was completely impressed by it.

When he raised his hand to tear off Hua Jingmian's claws, he saw Hua Jingmian seemed to have discovered something. He wrinkled his nose and sniffed his neck, "Master, you smell so good."
