Quick Transmigration: What to Do When the Male Supporting Character You Saved Becomes Obsessed with

"Ah! You actually heard that? We were so scared..." Lu Liruan replied very perfunctorily.

Lin Qianyou looked at the vase Cheng Nian was holding with resentment, then turned to Lu Zheng and urged him in a less-than-friendly tone, "Hurry up and find it, or we'll be at the bottom! I don't like losing!"

Normally, her spoiled personality might be comforted by others, but today Lu Zheng was in a very bad mood.

Lu Zheng slammed the ornament back onto the shelf, struggling to suppress his emotions before saying, "If you don't want to be at the bottom, then hurry up and help me find it."

Lu Liruan loved watching these dog-eat-dog scenes, so she took another bite of watermelon: "Hey, why don't you guys take a break? You've found almost all the flowers in the house. Let's try again next time."

"Hmph!" Lin Qianyou, who was originally unwilling to move, immediately got up after hearing Lu Liruan's words and began searching the room.

Lu Liruan shrugged and casually returned to Cheng Nianzhi's side.

"It's all set up." Cheng Nianzhi showed her the vase. In just a short while, he had arranged the flowers in a very artistic way, with harmonious color matching, making it look like an exhibit.

"Wow, so beautiful—" Lu Liruan's eyes lit up: "You're amazing!"

Cheng Nianzhi's eyes softened: "If you like it, I'll put it in your room later."

As the two were talking, Xiao Yiyi's group and Shi Jingyun's group returned one after the other. Xiao Yiyi was carrying a lot of flowers, and her expression towards Lu Liruan was noticeably more sincere.

Shi Jingyun and Fu Tingshen's attention wasn't on the flowers; their expressions were a bit strange, and they had no idea what had happened during the search.

Finally, Lin Qianyou returned, fuming, and Lu Zheng, looking utterly helpless.

Lu Zheng had already controlled his emotions. He couldn't lose his composure in front of the camera, so from the beginning, no matter what Lin Qianyou was like, Lu Zheng always acted as if he had no choice but to give in to her.

As a result, the chat in his live stream is now exploding.

Who is Lin Qianyou? Why is she treating Zhengzheng like this? Is she just bullying Zhengzheng because of his good temper?

Why is Zhengzheng paired with her? I'd rather see Zhengzheng paired with Lu Liruan!

Yes, at least Zhengzheng won't have to suffer...

An argument quickly broke out below:

[Ha, you think your brother is here to choose a consort? It's not that he wants to be in a group with anyone, it's that nobody wants to be in a group with him! You really think everyone likes your brother...]

Who doesn't know that Lu Liruan, that bitch, has been clinging to Zhengzheng?

[I didn't see Lu Liruan clinging to Lu Zheng at all. I only saw Lu Liruan and Cheng Nianzhi being so sweet together, like pink bubbles were floating around. You guys better keep an eye on Lu Zheng so he doesn't go and ruin things!]

After entering the villa, Lu Zheng secretly observed Lu Liruan several times, but Lu Liruan never looked at him.

What tricks is this woman playing? Is she trying so hard to get my attention? Well, I have to say, she succeeded! Lu Zheng gritted his teeth inwardly.

Lu Liruan's attention was indeed not on him, because just now, Cheng Nianzhi had looked towards Shi Jingyun!

Lu Liruan thought to herself: See? I still can't bear to part with her, I still have hope, I still love her...

Just as Lu Liruan was imagining a dramatic love story of unrequited love, Cheng Nianzhi turned around and was taken aback by Lu Liruan's compassionate expression.

"What's wrong?" he couldn't help but wonder.

"No." Lu Liruan shook her head and smiled, completely unaware that her smile contained seven parts pity mixed with three parts heartache.

“Everyone has their own story, and everyone has things they can’t have. You can’t force things.” Lu Liruan sighed, her words full of meaning.

Cheng Nianzhi asked thoughtfully, "Does Li Ruan also have things she can't have? Does that cause her a lot of pain?"

The camera didn't pan to them coming over; instead, it was filming two other groups counting the number of flowers.

Lu Liruan felt a chill run down her spine as Cheng Nianzhi stared at her probing gaze: Oh no, it seems she's already deeply entangled.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Liruan smiled and said, "Of course, it's normal for people to have things they want but can't get. How can everything be as you wish? Regret is the norm, so we need to learn to let go..."

Lu Liruan felt that trying to persuade Cheng Nianzhi from a third-person perspective was too vague. While talking non-stop, her mind raced, trying to concoct a profound, intricate, and thought-provoking story in an instant to enlighten Cheng Nianzhi's thinking, which was stuck in a dead end.

However, it did not work out...

"I don't have that creativity!" Lu Liruan lamented inwardly, praying that Cheng Nianzhi wouldn't pry too deeply now, and that she could work on it properly when she got back.

While Lu Liruan was struggling with herself, she didn't notice Cheng Nianzhi's cool gaze sweeping towards Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng's gaze, which was secretly observing Lu Liruan, met his own.

Lu Zheng felt a chill creep up his spine to the back of his head. He couldn't understand why Cheng Nianzhi, this seemingly weak and spineless man, suddenly had such a fierce aura.

"Oh, really? Li Ruan makes a good point." His voice was low and gloomy.

"Right, right! You have to think positively! When you turn around, there might be other, more beautiful scenery waiting for you!" Lu Liruan felt she was at a loss for words; being a moral education teacher isn't something anyone can do.

"Has Li Ruan experienced this before?" Cheng Nianzhi leaned forward, subtly enveloping Lu Li Ruan in front of him with his body, blocking Lu Zheng's probing gaze.

"Of course!" Yeah, right. What I learned in my past life is to eat and drink well, live one day at a time, my own happiness is the most important thing, who cares about anyone else's life or death?

"How pitiful," Cheng Nianzhi said softly.

"Huh?" Lu Liruan didn't hear clearly. When she turned to look at him, the gloom on Cheng Nianzhi's face had dissipated, leaving only a faint sadness.

Seriously? Are you making people more upset by trying to comfort them?

Lu Liruan sighed inwardly: Criticizing literary works is really difficult...

Cheng Wenyi, a critic, sensed the undisguised resentment emanating from Lu Liruan and vaguely perceived something.

Why does this girl look at me with such disappointment and frustration? She seems to care a lot…

He tilted his head, not intending to ask Lu Liruan directly until he figured it out.

"I know... never mind..." Lu Liruan was about to say something more when she saw the camera panning over, so she could only shut up for the time being.

"Hey, what are Nianzhi and Liruan whispering about?" the host asked, peeking out.

Is there anything we can't hear?

“Of course we can listen. We were talking about which two rooms we should choose later!” Lu Liruan emphasized the word “best”.

[Hahaha, you can tell you're really eager to get started!]

[Tch, so petty. Lu Liruan has never seen anything like this before. It's really unsightly for a female celebrity to be so mercenary.]

You've seen the world, yet you talk as arrogantly as if you live in the Forbidden City.

"Li Ruan, are you so confident that you'll be number one?"

Lu Liruan pointed to the vase that Cheng Nianzhi was holding in his arms, and Cheng Nianzhi readily picked it up.

"Isn't that a testament to their strength?" Lu Liruan reached out to touch the flower, but her fingertips accidentally brushed against Cheng Nianzhi's cheek, which was turned to the side.
