The Correct Strategy to Approach the Yandere Supporting Male Lead - Chapter 39

[Chapter 39 Mantis Catching Cicadas (5)]

It was June and the sun was scorching hot.

The hawkers selling food in the street market are lazy, have no business, and have no spirit, just holding a fan to drive away the heat.

But there is a stall selling cold food on the corner of the street, and two words are written crookedly on the wooden sign: drink ice.

The stall was full of guests who came to escape the summer heat, among which a man and a woman were the most conspicuous.

The man was dressed in white, with feathers on his ears, and was eating Leng Yuanzi without saying a word, while the woman was wearing a goose-yellow ruffled skirt, her sleeves were rolled up generously, revealing a lot of lotus arms.

The atmosphere between the two was weird, and everyone could see that they were a couple, but it was really strange that the two didn’t communicate at all.

Many gossip guests frequently looked there, wanting to hear some inside stories.

The woman put down the porcelain spoon and let out a long sigh.

“What’s the matter with you? I think you’ve been very wrong recently.”

“It’s okay, it’ll be fine soon.”

The man was still eating and grinning. There was nothing unreasonable between the movements, but there were always some inexplicable strangeness. Remember www.9biqu.com for a second

The woman also seemed a little unhappy, picked up the oil-paper umbrella on the side and left the position.

“I’m going to buy something else, wait for me here.”

After eating the last Leng Yuanzi, the man accurately grabbed her wrist, rubbed her fingertips, and pulled her back.

“It’ll be fine soon.”

He murmured these words, pulled her into his arms, gently touched the end of her hair, and drew his thin sword from the side.

The sword was covered with cracks, cutting the man’s smile into countless pieces, which looked very strange.

The woman seemed to realize something and began to struggle, but it was of no use.

The guests around screamed and left there. Some people were preparing to report to the officer, and some people looked at them with fear and curiosity, but no one stepped forward to stop them.

The man opened his eyes, there was no focus, there was chaos inside, and it was as dark as a swamp.

His right hand moved from the end of his hair to her trembling eyes, and slowly pressed down, covering her frightened eyes.

“It’ll be fine soon, it won’t hurt you.”

When the cold blade was brought to his neck, he suddenly stopped his hand, and then smiled helplessly.

“I forgot, you don’t like me killing people with this.”

He threw the sword aside and drew out the dagger he was carrying.

The tip of the knife moved slowly along her thigh, like affection, like comfort, the cold touch made her tremble for a while, and finally stopped at her heart.

The woman took a deep breath and took his hand, for fear that he would do it the next moment.

“Why? You tell me, I think I can still save it!”

“I don’t like this kind of pain, and I know you don’t either.” The man patted her on the forehead soothingly: “But it will be fine soon.”

“Why do you always choose someone else?”

“I’ll let us free together.”

When the woman heard this, her eyes widened, as if she understood something.

“Wait, people need to communicate, how would I know if you didn’t tell me before, give me a chance-”

There was no chance, the tip of the knife went deep into her heart, and at that moment she even felt the contrast between the coldness of the blade and the burning heart.

There were screams all around, some people fled, some covered their eyes, and the noise filled her eardrums.

The man put the dagger in her hand, and without hesitation, took her hand and stabbed him, digging into his heart little by little.

He leaned down and touched her forehead, intertwining his fingers.

“I seem to know why Liang Zhu turned into a butterfly.”

There was a smile on his lips, and that smile was like a Buddhist son who had penetrated the cause and effect and was able to prove the Way.

…

Li Ruoshui sat up abruptly, his face was covered in cold sweat, and the silk sur skirt on his body was already soaked, and there was a chill when the night wind blew.

She could still feel the real coolness in her heart, she immediately touched it, and felt a long sigh of relief after feeling the steady heartbeat.

“Grass!”

It’s a dream.

No, this is a nightmare, right? Isn’t this a foreshadowing dream? !

“System, is this the prompt you gave!”

“Come out and answer me, help!”

Li Ruoshui, whose heart was beating violently, had already started to babble, and he couldn’t help but uttered rhetorical words.

[Please sleep well, host, don’t scare yourself, believe in yourself, don’t worry too much. 】

After saying this, the system went offline again, as if it had never appeared before.

It wasn’t you who was killed, of course you said don’t worry about it!

After taking a deep breath, Li Ruoshui forced himself to calm down and began to recall the fragments in his dream.

What does he mean by always choosing someone else? She always remembers the strategy mission, and it is impossible to choose someone else.

And he didn’t understand why Liang Zhu wanted to turn into a butterfly!

Li Ruoshui thought about yesterday again, and now she regrets it a little, how could she not follow up immediately at that time.

No matter how you look at this dream, it seems to have reached the BE ending.

Because I couldn’t figure out the reason, I had such a strange and terrifying dream again. Li Ruoshui didn’t sleep well all night, and woke up a little dazed the next day.

Not daring to stay in bed, Li Ruoshui immediately began to wash.

She has put aside all the tasks of catching poison and writing letters, and she has to go to the inn to find out.

For people with such abnormal brain circuits, the result will only become more and more crooked if they imagine it.

Zheng Yanqing saw Li Ruoshui, and quickly picked up the travel guide he just wrote from the table.

“Ruoshui, this is the four-hour chapter I wrote before, and it’s the second volume.”

Li Ruoshui smiled apologetically and hurriedly said, “I’ll do something first, come back and look at it.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she hurried out.

Zheng Yan was quiet for a while, then took the book back, smiling a little lonely.

She was probably looking for Mr. Lu.

That’s right, she’ll be leaving here in a few days, they’re all the way.

“Guest officer, do you want to stay at the hotel or eat?”

Xiao Er watched the guest walk around the door for a long time, and it was almost time for lunch. Seeing that she was still sighing, he couldn’t help but go out to ask.

Li Ruoshui glanced at him, then shook his head, clutching his heart and continuing to pace back and forth.

She had arrived a long time ago, but she didn’t dare to go in, for fear of being stabbed as soon as she pushed open his door.

The system is useless, you have to rely on yourself.

“Is the blind boy who lives upstairs there?”

“So it is.” Xiao Er understood: “It turns out that the girl also came to see that young master.”

Li Ruoshui was startled and a little curious: “Is there anyone else to see him?”

“Yeah.” Xiaoer chatted with her casually: “Although this gentleman doesn’t stay in the inn very often, many girls in the vicinity know him and often come to the inn to wait to see him.”

Li Ruoshui nodded, it’s not surprising when you think about it carefully, after all, it’s normal to attract people with that look. Who doesn’t like people with good looks?

“I went out early in the past, but today is just right. I haven’t seen it after staying all morning. This kind of opportunity is a girl who has met.”

Li Ruoshui frowned, and put down the hands covering his heart.

“He doesn’t eat breakfast?”

“I don’t know, in short, I haven’t eaten in the store.”

It’s almost noon, he can’t even eat lunch, right?

“Send lunch to his room later.” Li Ruoshui made up his mind, and suddenly remembered something before going upstairs: “Don’t give information about the guests casually to strangers.”

Little Two: …? ? ?

Under the strange eyes of Xiao Er, she took a deep breath, rushed into the inn with her head buried in it, went up to the second floor in one breath, and knocked on his door.

But the door was unlocked, and it was knocked open.

With a creak, the door opened a crack, and a white corner of the robe could be seen through the crack, but there was no movement.

“…I’m in?”

After saying that, Li Ruoshui gently pushed open the door and saw Lu Kao lying on the bed.

Only now did she realize that after coming to Cangzhou, she seldom came to him, and most of the time he went to Zheng Mansion.

“The road is far away?”

Li Ruoshui walked slowly to the bed and called his name softly.

Like a nightmare, Lu Zhiyao’s whole body trembled, and then his frowning brows loosened, his fingers flexed slightly, and he seemed to wake up.

Isn’t he pretending to be asleep?

Li Ruoshui was stunned.

Lu Zhiyao’s sleep has always been very light, and usually the slightest disturbance can wake him up. After being together for so long, she has never seen him fall asleep.

Li Ruoshui blocked his heart, leaned over him, and touched his forehead.

“Are you sick?”

The temperature from the palm of the hand was not hot, it should not be a fever, but before she could feel the temperature again, Lu Zhiyao waved her hand away.

“How did you come?”

He sat up, his clothes were scattered and exposed below his collarbone.

Li Ruoshui suddenly remembered the scene in his dream, and what he held her hand was Zuo Xinkou.

She looked away, her hands first behind her back, and then moved to her heart in a panic.

“I’m coming to find you for lunch.”

In fact, she wanted to ask him directly what was wrong, but her instinct told her that it was better not to do it.

Lu Zhiyao rolled his eyes, stood up, walked to the table, and poured himself a cup of tea.

“I thought you should eat with Zheng Yanqing now.” He turned his head and smiled: “You are husband and wife after all.”

? ? ?

What’s the meaning?

Why did he suddenly bring up the matter of husband and wife?

“But we are fake couples. You know that. You took a lot of candy from me back then.”

Li Ruoshui sat beside him, vaguely feeling that he understood something, but he couldn’t grasp what that subtle feeling was.

“I heard a story in the teahouse before, called Legend of the White Snake.”

“and then?”

Li Ruoshui wanted to know what strange insights he got from this story.

“Aren’t you going back to Zheng Mansion?” Lu Zhiyao skipped the topic and asked with a smile.

Li Ruoshui’s eyes widened and his fists clenched, unable to believe that he actually learned how to disconnect at key points.

“I’m here to find you for lunch.”

For the safety of her life, she will never leave now, she must find out what’s wrong.

Just in time, there was a knock on the door outside.

“Guest officer, can you come in?”

“Please come in.” Li Ruoshui answered before him and stood up to pick up lunch.

Xiao Er looked at her with even more strange eyes.

When the door was closed, he could still be heard whispering: “I know who is still sneaking outside the inn…”

Li Ruoshui: …

“time to eat.”

“I’m not hungry.”

Li Ruoshui, who was rejected immediately, was not discouraged, it was just a small problem…

“You don’t seem to be in a good mood.” Li Ruoshui took his hand and put it on his head: “I’ll give you a rub.”

Lu Zhizhi drew back his hand unhurriedly, with a gentle smile: “You are probably hungry, don’t you want to eat?”

Li Ruoshui touched his head and suddenly felt that it was not a small problem.

But she was really hungry after standing outside all morning.

Li Ruoshui raised the bowl and tried to find a way while eating.

Lu Zhiyao was drinking tea, his expression was still the same, he didn’t look like there was a problem at all, but it would be wrong not to touch his head.

“I fell when I came to find you this morning, and my hand seems to be broken, but I can’t get the medicine, can you help me?”

Touching her wounds is his favorite thing to do, if that doesn’t work…

“cannot.”

“…”

Li Ruoshui’s chopsticks fell to the ground.

She got closer to the road, she was really worried, and her tone softened a lot: “What’s wrong with you, can’t you tell me?”

“I’m thinking about something.” Lu Zhizhi smirked, his smile still gentle: “I’ll probably tell you when I think about it.”

Li Ruoshui sighed deeply.

I’m afraid he can’t figure it out.

Lu Zhiyao didn’t say anything, and Li Ruoshui didn’t ask any more questions. After eating, she left languidly.

After she left, Lu Zhi sat at the table, took out the carved puppet from his cuff, and made it jump up again.

Yesterday Li Ruoshui asked him a question.

–“What do you want me to do?”

If Lu Feiyue and Jiang Nian asked this question, he would answer “no” because he didn’t do anything for them.

If Zheng Yanqing came to ask, he would answer “to die”, there is no reason, this is the answer he gave from his heart.

No matter who came to ask him, he could give his inner answer, but only Li Ruoshui could only think of blank space.

Yesterday, her words and deeds defending Zheng Yanqing made him feel very boring. Even though they were only husband and wife, they seemed more intimate than when they were with him.

Li Ruoshui is obviously on his side, and he should be on his side.

He didn’t know what he wanted Li Ruoshui to do, but he really wanted her to do something.

for example……

Like what.

Lu Zhiyao fell into contemplation, and fell into some inexplicable emotions that made him overwhelmed.

The puppet was pinched in his hands, he unconsciously exerted his strength, and the puppet’s limbs made a rattling sound, like a moan of pain.

The sky outside the window gradually turned gray, the setting sun was swallowed by the dark clouds, and the wind blew outside the house, blowing the house into chaos.

Zheng Yanqing hurriedly packed up the flying pieces of paper, squinted and closed the creaking doors and windows, and breathed a sigh of relief.

“Today’s day is really strange. It’s going to change. It’s just starting to rain in the evening.”

Li Ruoshui sat on the couch, stunned, his brows furrowed with worry, and he didn’t know what to think, but he didn’t react at all to the violent storm outside.

Zheng Yanqing looked at her and sighed, and had to lower his head and write his own thing.

Suddenly someone knocked on the wooden door, making a few tuk-tuk noises, mixed with the wind and rain outside, causing Zheng Yanqing to tremble.

He put down the pen and went to open the door: “Who…”

As soon as the door opened, a dampness and a chill came over him. He looked at the man in front of him for a moment, then turned his head and called Li Ruoshui.

“…Young Master Lu is here.”

Li Ruoshui raised his head in surprise, and hurried to the door. When he saw this man, he couldn’t help but be startled.

Lu Zhiyao was soaked all over his body, his black hair was dripping with water, and there were drops of water on his eyelashes.

“Going to sit on the swing?”

There was a smile on his lips, his eyelashes curved, and he asked as if it was a sunny day today.

Zheng Yanqing looked at him in surprise, and said silently: “It’s raining heavily now, otherwise it’ll be in the house…”

“OK.”

Li Ruoshui took an umbrella from the house and opened it, and took him to the swing in the courtyard.

The two sat down together, the swing slowly swayed in the wind and rain, the raindrops hit the umbrella and scattered, and the drops were scattered beside them, and the leaves on the opposite side were also rustling.

Li Ruoshui looked at him with a smile in his eyes and wiped the drops of water on his forehead: “Have you figured it out?”

Lu Zhiyao smiled, like the only warm color in this wind and rain.

“I know what I want. I want you to leave the Zheng family with me today.”

Li Ruoshui didn’t expect this to be what he was referring to, he hesitated for a while, but still opened his mouth.

“I have to help him find the murderer first, just wait a few days. It really only takes a few days.”

Lu Zhiyao closed his smile, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and the raindrops on it fell like teardrops from the corners of his eyes.

The raindrops smashed wildly on the surface of the umbrella, causing Li Ruoshui’s hands to hold the umbrella to tremble.

In this noisy rain, she heard his voice,

“Why wait? You asked me what I wanted you to do, and I figured it out.”

“You asked me.”
