Lu Zhi Wei had to admit, Sang Wan Ci was an incredibly charismatic person.

Because of her sincerity and kindness, she had a glowing aura that couldn’t be ignored even if the protagonist halo was taken away from her.

It was truly a blessing to know someone like that.

Sang Wan Ci asked why she was standing alone.

She swirled the juice in her cup: “I’m used to being alone during moments like these.”

After obtaining the male protagonist’s halo, the number of times she attended events could be counted on a single hand.

So her habits were those leftover from being a transparent person.

Quiet, lonely, unable to fit in.

Because she suddenly became normal, her body still hadn’t had time to react to the new situation.

Counting that dinner from 《Phoenix》, she only had attended two events.

And the last time, the male lead sat on her left and the female lead sat on her right. They were both familiar people, so she didn’t need to worry about how to interact with them.

Sang Wan Ci understood and said gently: “It’s alright, you can slowly get used to it.

“I’ll be there to accompany you.”

Even if it was a foreign environment, as long as a familiar person was around, it would be less scary.

Sang Wan Ci knew better than anybody else that Lu Zhi Wei also needed companionship.

She was far from that happy-go-lucky persona she tried to portray.

Optimism was how she kept living on, but it wasn’t how she was from the start.

If it was possible, who would willingly be a loner with nobody to rely on?

“Thank you.” Lu Zhi Wei said.

“You’re always saying these two words.” Sang Wan Ci replied.

Lu Zhi Wei suddenly fell silent, looking guilty.

She didn’t know what else to say aside from those two words when she was faced with kindness.

She didn’t know how friends interacted so naturally.

She didn’t know what to do to make a precious friend like her, and not leave because they’re irritated by her.

She didn’t have any experience.

Nobody taught her.

Nobody liked her before.

Sang Wan Ci looked at Lu Zhi Wei quietly standing there with a glimmer of uncertainty in her eyes, before leaning closer and calling out softly: “Jiejie.”

That sensitive term jumped into her ear and Lu Zhi Wei paused.

Sang Wan Ci’s voice was as peaceful as always: “I hope you won’t be so formal with me.”

A simple sentence was like a guiding lamp.

Lu Zhi Wei immediately understood, and the words “thank you” were on the tip of her tongue before she swallowed it down.

Sang Wan Ci’s eyes were filled with expectation.

She didn’t want to let her down.

“Okay.” Lu Zhi Wei smiled, “I’ll remember it.”

Sang Wan Ci looked at her for a moment then smiled and stretched her hand out to touch glasses.

“Clink”, the glasses sounded lightly.

“Cheers.”

“Mm, cheers.”

As Lu Zhi Wei drank her juice, she stole a glance at Sang Wan Ci.

Thinking in her heart: She’s really good.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from the side.

The two of them looked to the side and saw Qiu Luo walking over with a wineglass.

“What are you talking about?” Qiu Luo gave his perfect smile, “do you mind including me in the conversation?”

When he said this, his eyes were staring straight at Sang Wan Ci as he angled his body away from Lu Zhi Wei.

As if he didn’t care about Lu Zhi Wei’s opinion, as if he only had Sang Wan Ci in his eyes and heart.

As if he was just waiting for Sang Wan Ci to nod so that he could move a table over and light a romantic candle and hold a conversation over candlelight with her.

Lu Zhi Wei watched his actions and detected a hint of animosity.

Pondering over it, she suddenly felt a headache coming on.

【What is the meaning of this, he can’t possibly be treating me as another male love rival like Xiao Ying right?】

The professional Lao Wu came out to solve her question: 【Hello, it’s not a male love rival, it’s a female love rival.】

Lu Zhi Wei: 【?】

Lao Wu: 【He didn’t get confused by the male protagonist halo and mistake you for a man.

【Based on his actions and the deduction of the original script, I feel like he must be treating you as a lesbian who likes Sang Wan Ci right now

【Also, isn’t he originally like this? Did you forget the original script, anybody who likes Sang Wan Ci is a rival to him, without exception.

【A female love rival is still a love rival!】

Lu Zhi Wei: 【???】

Caught off guard???

Lu Zhi Wei was lost.

She didn’t know what script Qiu Luo was holding onto now, and whether he would be a danger to Sang Wan Ci in the future.

She also didn’t know if he could be like Ying Xi Ze, willing to change and not be a tool for the storyline.

But seeing as he hadn’t done anything yet, Lu Zhi Wei couldn’t do anything either.

Forget it, let’s wait and see.

WIth her around, she wouldn’t let anything happen to Sang Wan Ci.

Besides, Sang Wan Ci was so smart.

—— A female lead who didn’t follow the script, her potential is limitless.

Qiu Luo’s subtle actions were also all taken into account by Sang Wan Ci.

Seeing Lu Zhi Wei act as if she didn’t know what to do, Sang Wan Ci’s eyebrows furrowed together.

She reached out and pulled Lu Zhi Wei behind her, then stared at Qiu Luo with a stern expression: “Mr Qiu, you’re being very rude.”

Qiu Luo thought she was talking about her pollen allergy, and smiled slightly as he apologised: “I was too reckless in giving you flowers, I hope Miss Sang forgives me, I promise there won’t be a next time.”

Sang Wan Ci’s eyes narrowed.

Was she talking about the pollen allergy?

She was clearly talking about how rude he was to Lu Zhi Wei!

She got it.

Qiu Luo was what her father had spoken to her about before, a dumb man.

—— Don’t get close to them, you’ll become unlucky.

Lu Zhi Wei stood dumbly after being pulled behind Sang Wan Ci.

She didn’t know why Sang Wan Ci was suddenly so unhappy.

But she knew Qiu Luo was unlikeable.

At least, she didn’t like him.

Qiu Luo didn’t need her to like him either.

Love rivals would never get along when meeting each other.

Because she didn’t know whether Qiu Luo’s own personality was like this or if it was forced by the storyline, Lu Zhi Wei chose to reserve judgement on him.

She didn’t care about herself being treated like air either.

What was the point?

She was constantly treated like air in the past.

It was so unreasonable, she had long grown numb to it.

Sang Wan Ci had her own opinion.

She didn’t know the way Qiu Luo treated Lu Zhi Wei.

It was hurtful and overboard.

Someone like Qiu Luo would probably not know pain unless he was poked twice.

When Qiu Luo was talking to Sang Wan Ci, his temper and attitude was good enough to withstand all setbacks.

“What does Miss Sang like?”

He decided to appeal to her tastes.

And he wanted to hear her likings directly from her.

This would make them seem closer and serve to deepen their relationship.

“I would like……”

Sang Wan Ci slowly spoke.

Lu Zhi Wei looked at her, starting to feel nervous.

No way? She was really going to tell him what she liked?

Doesn’t that mean they have a possibility to develop?

But she lied to him earlier?

Could the female lead who didn’t follow the script be taking some crazy actions?

Qiu Luo saw there was hope and his eyes lit up.

He stared at Sang Wan Ci with burning eyes and perked up his ears, not wanting to miss a single word.

With a captive audience, Sang Wan Ci’s face didn’t change as she said eight words.

“I would like you to leave me alone.”

Qiu Luo: “???”

Lu Zhi Wei: “……”

She silently raised her thumb in her heart for Sang Wan Ci.

Good, it really is you.

The female lead who didn’t follow the script would never let me down.



After the dinner ended, the actors went back to their respective hotels.

After Lu Zhi Wei went back to her room, she was still thinking about Qiu Luo’s deflated expression.

Thinking about it, she couldn’t help collapsing on the bed and laughing out loud.

【What are you laughing at?】 Lao Wu asked.

Lu Zhi Wei was out of breath from laughing so hard: “Qiu Luo’s deflated expression…… is really hilarious hahaha ——”

【He deserves it.】

Lao Wu spun a pen in his hand as he casually marked something on a document, completely not caring about the original male lead.

Who asked him to target his daughter?

Ever since he decided to be Lu Zhi Wei’s mother, he was no longer the same heartless system administrator.

Lao Wu: Anybody who bullies my daughter must die!!!

Lu Zhi Wei’s laughter finally died down as she lied on the bed and patted her stomach.

Jokes aside.

If Qiu Luo was originally not someone like this, she was still willing to try to help him.

Someone who had suffered before was even more unwilling to see others suffer.

As to how to help Qiu Luo, she would probably help him like she helped Ying Xi Ze.

A kind person who had been blinded only needed a few sentences of help to wake up.

After she made up her mind, Lu Zhi Wei got up to shower.

As she came out of the shower, she received a text from Sang Wan Ci.

[Wan Ci]: Are you okay?

Lu Zhi Wei was utterly confused.

[Lu Zhi Wei]: ?

[Lu Zhi Wei]: What?

[Wan Ci]: When Qiu Luo intentionally ignored you.

[Lu Zhi Wei]: Ah, that, it’s a small matter

[Wan Ci]: It’s not a small matter.

[Wan Ci]: He was in the wrong.

Sang Wan Ci simply could not understand why Qiu Luo would treat Lu Zhi Wei like that.

They had clearly just met, and they were still strangers.

Wasn’t it rude to treat a stranger like that without reason?

Even her father would feel irritated when seeing a man like that.

[Lu Zhi Wei]: It’s okay, don’t take it to heart, I don’t care about these things

[Lu Zhi Wei]: Don’t be upset over these things too

[Lu Zhi Wei]: Besides, I don’t like him in the drama either, we don’t have many scenes together. I’ll leave once my scenes are done, and we won’t have to interact with each other either

Lu Zhi Wei’s mentality was good, she wouldn’t be too upset over things for too long.

Even if Qiu Luo was treating her like this as part of his real personality, she was fine with it too.

Besides, the little junior sister didn’t like the male lead. When shooting the drama, she didn’t need to act as if she really liked someone who doesn’t like her, how good was that?

Sang Wan Ci didn’t say anything else after seeing how cheerful she was.

Lu Zhi Wei slowly poured herself a glass of water.

Her thumb swiped across the screen as she thought, then sent over a text to Sang Wan Ci.

[Lu Zhi Wei]: So today, you…… were protecting me?

She was quite confused at that moment.

In her memory, Sang Wan Ci had never been so unhappy before.

It was so obvious that all that was missing was a “Qiu Luo, Stay Away” sign stuck to her face.

[Wan Ci]: Mm.

[Wan Ci]: I don’t like him treating you like that.

Lu Zhi Wei’s heart felt warm as she smiled.

It was the first time in her life that someone had felt she was being treated unfairly……

It really was nice, the feeling of being protected.

[Lu Zhi Wei]: Alright, let’s not talk about him

[Lu Zhi Wei]: My role this time is going to be someone following you around again in the beginning

[Lu Zhi Wei]: Please take care of me, Teacher Sang

She didn’t know what kind of luck she had to be working on the same productions as Sang Wan Ci, with such close roles each time as a small actress.

The last drama, her role was as the female lead’s maid who only cared about her young miss.

This time, she’s the female lead’s little junior sister who loved to follow the female lead in the beginning and pester her constantly, while helping the female lead solve her problems. She was simply like a warm padded jacket for the female lead.

But the little junior sister and Xiao He had a difference.

Xiao He had died at the hands of the male lead.

But the little junior sister……

—— Died in the hands of the female lead.
