The Correct Strategy to Approach the Yandere Supporting Male Lead - Chapter 35

[Chapter 35 Mantis Catching Cicadas (1)]

The fact that Zheng Yanmu came back did not reach Dongyuan until the next day, and someone came to invite Zheng Yanqing to have breakfast early in the morning.

Li Ruoshui, as the nominal daughter-in-law, is naturally among them.

“Come on, Ruoshui, eat more.”

Li Ruoshui took the dishes that Mrs. Zheng brought, nodded and thanked him, trying to make himself not so embarrassed and stiff.

She can handle letting her eat with Lu Zhiyao, but it’s a little embarrassing to chat with this group of seemingly friendly people, so she decides not to say anything.

“I’m done eating.”

Zheng Mei put down the tableware and got up to leave.

“Where are you going? I’m going to clean up your elder brother today.” Mrs. Zheng looked at her with disapproval.

“I’m going to swim with Lu Gongzi on the lake today.” Zheng Mei tidied up her skirts indifferently: “I ate the Fengfeng Banquet last night.”

Zheng Mei’s words made Li Ruoshui and Zheng Yanqing stop their chopsticks at the same time.

Zheng Yanqing laughed mockingly and continued to eat, ignoring the eyes of the second elder of the Zheng family. Read the novel on www,9biqu.com

And Li Ruoshui looked straight at her, wondering what he was thinking.

Zheng Mei received this sight and thought of the closeness between her and Lu Zhiyao. She couldn’t help straightening her back and staring at Li Ruoshui.

“Brother and sister, you and Lu Gongzi are friends, what do you want to say?”

She deliberately emphasized the word “friend”, and she was in high spirits, as if she was going to do something fun.

Li Ruoshui looked at her, put down the tableware and opened his mouth cautiously.

“Bring more guards, don’t let the little servant be too far away from you, you must be calm.”

Li Ruoshui blinked, remembered something again, and reached out to give her a gesture.

“If you fall into the water, don’t thump hard. It’s easy to choke on the water. The stern hull has protruding handrails, so it’s not hard to grab there.”

“I don’t know.”

Zheng Mei thought she was sour, patted her skirt carelessly, brushed her hair behind her, and left with the maid.

Li Ruoshui looked at the back of her leaving and sighed slightly, she could only help here.

Feng Xiaoxiao and Yi Shuihan, once the strong man goes away… I still hope that she will return.

Lu Zhiyao is a man of mixed emotions and unpredictable minds. Those who have been deceived by his skin can only use the word “dangerous” to describe him.

She had even imagined that Zheng Mei was too arrogant and stepped on the red line frequently, and was finally thrown into the water.

The sense of substitution is too strong, and Li Ruoshui has begun to feel suffocated.

However, why did Lu Zhiyao agree to swim in the lake?

She has to explore this point, maybe it will be of great help to her strategy.

This episode didn’t last long, after all, the purpose of this morning’s meal was for Zheng Yanqing to take care of his brother.

“It’s really refreshing when people are happy.” Zheng Yanmu changed the subject and smiled at Zheng Yanqing, with a bit of brotherly kindness: “Your complexion is much better.”

Zheng Yanqing smiled and nodded, but didn’t say anything more.

Not long ago, Li Ruoshui said that there may be a problem with his medicine, so he should stop it for a while.

He didn’t believe it at first, but after listening to her talking too much, it was inevitable that he had some doubts, so he didn’t take medicine for a while.

Although my body can’t be said to be good these days, it is indeed a lot easier, at least it is not easy to cough and wheeze.

There is indeed a problem with this medicine, but who can he tell?

“Thanks to Ruoshui, it seems that this bliss is really useful!”

Mrs. Zheng looked at Li Ruoshui affectionately, with gratitude in her eyes.

Zheng Yanmu looked at her and said meaningfully, “I really want to thank my brother and sister.”

“Where and where, after all, they have come, and they can’t be rushed in vain.”

Li Ruoshui perfunctory them seriously, no one noticed the strangeness of these words, and brought the topic to the provincial exam in March.

After all, this is the issue that the Zheng family is most concerned about at the moment.

“According to this situation, Yan Qing will be able to go to the province after three months.” Mrs. Zheng glanced at Li Ruoshui: “Ruoshui, we don’t want children for a while now.”

“Mother! What are you talking about!” Zheng Yanqing’s face was flushed, but he didn’t dare to look at Li Ruoshui’s expression.

“got it.”

Li Ruoshui nodded, even though she had deducted a dream castle, she still smiled thoughtfully.

In this awkward and polite atmosphere, Li Ruoshui began to think about how to end this marriage farce.

There is a bright lake in Cangzhou, which is a good place for people to swim in the lake.

At this time, it was April, the willows on the shore were blowing in the wind, the blue waves in the lake were rippling, and there were four or five boats floating on it, which looked very comfortable.

Zheng Mei looked around and couldn’t help nodding.

This painting boat was personally selected by her, with pink veil floating on it, and a coffee table on it. You can see the blue waves when you open the Xuan window, which is very elegant.

Behind the painting boat was a small boat in the distance, and on it stood the escort she brought this time.

She originally just wanted to take five or six to shock the road, but when she was leaving, she thought about what Li Ruoshui said, and after thinking about it for a while, she still brought ten.

More is never a loss.

“Master Lu, what do you think of this painting boat?”

Zheng Mei walked to Lu Kao, looked at his face carefully, and immediately liked him even more in his heart.

“Sorry, I can’t see it, but it must be good.”

Lu Zhiyao was sitting at the coffee table, holding a carving knife in his hand, and was carving something.

He never fell asleep after waking up from a dream last night. He took out the remaining material and started to carve something.

Zheng Mei looked at the gradually forming wood in his hand, and was a little surprised for a while.

“You still make puppets?”

She had never seen a blind man who could make a puppet, and this man was more than just a vase.

Lu Zhiyao responded absentmindedly.

Zheng Mei sat beside him with his back straight and glanced at the puppet.

“Most people who can make puppets are kind. When Li Ruoshui just went out, he told me to beware of you. It really was nonsense.”

Lu Zhiyao’s sculpted hand paused, and he seemed to feel the weight of the step on his leg again, and he heard the ringing sound again in his ear.

“How did she say that?”

“She asked me to take the servant and guard with me, and she said that you would push me into the water. You said it was funny.”

The corners of Lu Zhizhi’s mouth slowly curved up, and the eyebrows were not consciously loosened, and he chuckled softly.

“funny.”

He always thought Li Ruoshui was interesting.

“Do you know why I like you?”

Lu Zhiyao continued to carve puppets and did not respond to her.

“It was before the martial arts competition.” Zheng Mei looked at the lake, as if recalling the beginning.

“That day, I went to the street to see the venue. Maybe it was a gift from fate, and I happened to see you smiling.”

Zheng Mei had never seen such a person before, her brows and eyes were not like ordinary people, her smile was gentle but beautiful, and she couldn’t take her eyes off just at the first glance.

“You hit me with a red fruit that day, leaving scars here.”

She rolled up her sleeves, revealing a pea-sized scar, but suddenly remembered that he couldn’t see, she sighed and put down her sleeves.

If he hadn’t been blind, she would have liked it more.

Lu Zhiyao pulled a few pieces of silver wire between his fingers, and was polishing the subtleties of the puppet. A few strands of forehead hair fell on the eyelashes and were brushed away by him.

“It is you.”

In fact, he doesn’t remember, but he remembers what Li Ruoshui said, so that the conversation can quickly end the topic.

Sure enough, knowing that he still remembered himself, Zheng Mei did not continue the topic.

“I thought at the time that you are so good-looking, you should naturally match me.”

“Is it.”

While chatting with him, Zheng Mei looked outside the painting boat.

Through the veil blown by the wind, she saw a painting boat not far away, with several luxuriously dressed women standing on it.

Zheng Mei burst into laughter.

There was a reason why she was so eager to go to the lake with Lu Zhizhi today, not only because she liked him, but also because she had made an appointment with the other sisters and let them see Lu Zhizhi today.

“Master Lu, let’s go out and have a look.”

“I can’t see.”

Lu Zhiyao kept his subordinates, and his mouth was still perfunctory.

The ladies of the other boat waved to her, but Lu Zhiyao was always playing with the little puppet and didn’t give her any distraction.

She boasted that they were in love with each other, but she didn’t dare to really lead the way, so she had to shirk and say that he was shy and let everyone see each other from a distance.

If she can’t see each other now, how will she see people in the future!

“Master Lu, you promised me to visit the lake today.”

Lu Zhiyao touched the prototype of the puppet’s facial features, and raised his eyes with satisfaction: “Aren’t we swimming in the lake?”

Seeing that the painting boat slowly left, the sisters standing on the bow were also whispering, not knowing what they were saying, maybe they were laughing at her.

Zheng Mei bit her lip and looked at the puppet in his hand.

“This person you engraved is so ugly!”

She grabbed the puppet suddenly, and threw the puppet into the lake, ignoring her fingertips scratched by the silver wire.

The yellow-and-white puppet was thrown over the lake, and its circular joints snapped and turned, and were pulled back by the silver thread wrapped around it before falling into the water.

Lu Zhiyao rubbed the knuckles of the puppet with a smile in the corners of his eyes, reminding people of the spring breeze blowing the willow branches on the shore.

“It seems that you like going into the water, why don’t you come and play.”

Lu Zhiyao put away the puppet, pulled off a piece of veil, and wrapped it around her wrist skillfully.

When Zheng Mei reacted, she had already pulled out the window and fell into the lake on the other side.

The icy lake water soaked her body instantly and wet her carefully painted makeup.

At this time, the only connection between Zheng Mei and the painting boat was this pink veil, which she was almost dragged forward by.

The boatman with the oars turned pale with fright, and was about to come forward, but stopped after seeing Lu Zhishou’s smile, he could only slow down the boat and wait for the guards at the rear to arrive.

“How dare you do this to me!”

Lu Zhiyao leaned against Xuan Window, focused on grinding the puppet in his hand, with a smile on his lips, turning a deaf ear to her threats.

Zheng Mei roared in the water, looking very imposing, but her eyes were fixed on the veil.

The lotus-colored gauze was soaked in the lake water and darkened, and it did not return to its original tenderness.

Under her struggle and ups and downs just now, the lotus yarn around her was slowly loosening, and she might sink into the water at any time.

Zheng Mei knew water, but she was dragged by the gauze for so long, and she struggled for so long, and her physical strength had already lost most of her strength. The lotus yarn, which had hindered her, became her life-saving thing at this time.

She didn’t understand how it happened all of a sudden when she was fine just now.

The lotus root yarn on her wrist is slowly loosening, but she doesn’t know when it will be completely detached. Such unknown fear tortures Zheng Mei, but she is reluctant to ask for help.

“You save me up, and I’ll give you as much money as you want!”

Lu Zhiyao leaned against the window, his long eyelashes caught the falling sunlight, revealing the sparse light and shadow, and he shook the puppet at her quite leisurely.

“Do you think it’s ugly?”
