Chapter 48
"Li Qingzhu, this is the name of your next mission character." The system briefly introduced the summary of the next mission.
"This mission is quite special. You have to secretly turn the second male lead into the male lead."
"Are you asking to change the male lead?" Liang He was a little confused.
Since she started the book-traveling mission, she has never experienced a split.
"Yes, change the male lead."
The next story is about a sadomasochistic love story.
The heroine, Xu Li, is a high school Chinese language teacher. She is fair-skinned, gentle, and generous. While accompanying her friend Li Qingzhu to a restaurant to meet her blind date, she meets the hero, Kong Zhuo.
Li Qingzhu's blind date is none other than the supporting actor Leng Qingxiu.
In the restaurant where the blind date took place, Xu Li happened to see Kong Zhuo breaking up with his girlfriend.
"Let's break up." The man's simple words let Liu Zhouwan know that there was no hope. She didn't say anything else. This was a matter of mutual consent.
"good."
Seeing that the woman in front of him was understanding, Kong Zhuo smiled at her in a good mood and said, "I will pay for your tuition abroad."
Liu Zhouwan looked at his relieved smile, and with a sour taste in his mouth, he could only utter "thank you".
Xu Li originally felt a little embarrassed to accompany her friend to meet a blind date, so she made an excuse to go to the bathroom and escape. She didn't expect to encounter an even more embarrassing scene on the way, and she actually ran into a breakup scene.
When Kong Zhuo left, he glanced at Xu Li, who looked a little embarrassed, and was slightly stunned, with a hint of a playful smile in his eyes.
Liu Zhouwan, who watched Kong Zhuo leave, knew very well what that look meant. It was clear that he was interested in this strange woman.
After that, as if it was destined, the two often met by chance.
Afterwards, the male protagonist Kong Zhuo launched a fierce pursuit of the female protagonist Xu Li. The simple and kind female protagonist accepted the male protagonist's pursuit. After the two of them were sweet for a while, they encountered a great torture, which really tortured the readers.
The girl that the male protagonist had a crush on in high school got divorced and returned to China.
In high school, the male protagonist liked Hong Xu so much that the whole class knew about it, but Hong Xu turned a blind eye to the male protagonist's advances.
When Hong Xu returned to China, the heroine discovered that they looked similar. At that time, Xu Li did not think much about it. She knew that the hero had a secret crush on someone, so she did not think too much about it, but she still felt a little uncomfortable.
After that, Hong Xu frequently asked the male protagonist to have dinner with him to reminisce about the past, and the male protagonist could not tell the difference between his feelings for Xu Li and Hong Xu at that time, so he agreed.
In addition, the protagonist's mother favors Hong Xu and looks down on the young teacher Xu Li. Because even if Hong Xu is divorced, she is still the apple of the Hong family's eye and the major shareholder of Anye Group. For the Kong family, marrying into the Hong family is more beneficial.
Due to the interference of Kong's mother, the male and female protagonists gradually developed a rift.
Afterwards, the two broke up, and the heroine found out she was pregnant and had an abortion. The book ends with the hero and heroine not being together, the hero not marrying Hong Xu, and the heroine going to teach in western China.
There is a passionate second male lead in the story, who is Xu Li’s colleague, named Jiang Huizhou.
Jiang Huizhou, a newly hired math teacher, happened to be assigned to the same office as Xu Li. During a teacher training trip, he secretly developed feelings for Xu Li. Later, upon learning that Xu Li had someone she liked, he quietly withdrew, prompting him to sign up for the Western China Teaching Program.
Finally, the reader asked the author whether the heroine and the second male lead had met?
The author replied: "I leave it to God."
Many readers think that the male protagonist is not worthy of being the male protagonist, and that a second male lead should take his place, anger the male protagonist to death, and let the male protagonist live out his life alone.
As for Leng Qingxiu, who appears very rarely, he is only mentioned briefly when writing about the male protagonist. Every time he appears, he is described as cold and heartless. He is surrounded by all kinds of women and loves to hang out in bars and date female celebrities.
In Xu Li's memories, Li Qingzhu lived a carefree life for several years. The book doesn't describe Li Qingzhu and Leng Qingxiu much, barely mentioning them in passing.
After understanding the general plot, Liang He felt that it was not impossible for the second male lead to take the position, but first of all, the female lead had to avoid meeting the male lead.
"Xiao Hezi, this mission, besides turning Jiang Huizhou into the male protagonist, is also to capture Leng Qingxiu...
——
"Qingzhu, how about wearing this one?" Xu Li handed over a white dress.
"No, this one."
Li Qingzhu wore a red suspender top with a black leather jacket on the outside and a pair of white sneakers on her feet. The overall combination looked a bit out of place.
Xu Li and Li Qingzhu grew up together. They were in the same school and the same class from kindergarten to high school, so they naturally have a deep relationship.
According to Xu Li's understanding of Li's mother, Li's mother is a typical traditional woman who never allows Li Qingzhu to wear such bright clothes. In her eyes, women should be gentle, quiet, obedient and sensible.
Li Qingzhu had been a well-behaved child since childhood, but things changed in high school. On the surface, she was a good, obedient child, but deep down, she had lost all that. No one suspected Li Qingzhu of online romance or bar-hopping; only Xu Li knew she'd done both.
Xu Li looked at her. The red skirt and black leather jacket did match, but the shoes on her feet didn't match.
"If your mother knew you were going on a blind date dressed like this,"
"You can scold me all you want, but I won't wear the skirt she prepared for me."
Li Qingzhu, who had changed into a different person, stared at herself in the mirror. With big breasts, long legs and a thin waist, this woman had such a great figure!
Li Qingzhu glanced at the dress in Xu Li's hand again. It was white, the kind of dress that Li's mother liked, elegant and refined.
The original owner would occasionally wear this style of clothing, and she didn't dislike it. What she disliked was that others forced her to dress this way, and she hated not being able to choose for herself.
"You used to resist secretly, but now you want to start a blatant demonstration?" Xu Li looked at the bright and beautiful woman in front of her. After looking at her for a long time, she found that this outfit was quite nice.
"Do you think my mother is as trendy and adaptable as your mother? She's just an old stubborn person."
Indeed, Li's mother is still very traditional in her views, while Xu's mother is different. Although she is also a somewhat traditional woman, she is open-minded and open-minded in her education. When Xu Li was in high school, a boy pursued her. When Xu's mother found out, she didn't get angry. She even asked Xu Li to invite the boy to her house and she would help take a look.
However, Xu Li didn't like that boy and always focused on her studies.
If Li's mother knew about this, she would definitely lecture Li Qingzhu and tell her to stay away from boys like this who are not doing their jobs properly.
"Are you really planning on wearing this on your blind date?"
Today is the first meeting between Li Qingzhu and Leng Qingxiu, and also the first time the male and female protagonists meet.
"Yes." She analyzed it when she came here. Leng Qingxiu doesn't like girls who are too obedient.
In the book, Li Qingzhu was dressed like a lady when she went on a blind date. She even wore glasses without prescription to make herself look ordinary, so there was no chance for the two of them to be together.
"Are you deliberately trying to ruin this blind date? Can't you forget your online crush? That thirty-year-old guy."
Xu Li felt that Li Qingzhu might still like that uncle. After all, it is said that first love is unforgettable. She didn’t understand why first love was unforgettable?
Li Qingzhu glanced at Xu Li and said, "He is already over 30 years old now. That was when I was in my third year of high school. He should be around now..."
"I should be thirty-seven now, right?" Li Qingzhu calculated his age.
As she spoke, Li Qingzhu asked Xu Li to help her get the bag that was on her bed.
Xu Li handed over the bag and said, "You really don't want me to go with you? You said yesterday that you wanted me to accompany you."
"No need. Just write the lesson plan at home. I'll be back soon." Li Qingzhu pinched Xu Li's fair and tender face and left contentedly.
"Hey, stop pinching my face..."
——
When they arrived at the destination, Li Qingzhu got off the car and had to walk a short distance.
On this short stretch of road, Li Qingzhu attracted a lot of people's attention.
"Oh my god, look at that girl, those long legs..."
"Wow! It's just that those shoes don't seem to match, but they still look good..."
When they arrived at the restaurant, Li Qingzhu glanced around and his eyes lingered on a man in a suit for a while.
"Left side of the restaurant entrance, by the window."
A message popped up.
On the left, by the window.
Li Qingzhu, who had been looking down at her phone, suddenly raised her head and looked towards the seat of the man in the suit.
She put away her little thoughts, curled her lips, and walked straight over.
"Hello, are you Mr. Leng Qingxiu?" Li Qingzhu walked to the opposite side of Leng Qingxiu's seat and asked politely.
Before Li Qingzhu opened her mouth, Leng Qingxiu had already smelled a scent of perfume, like the sweet fragrance of flowers, not very strong or pungent, but very light.
What caught Leng Qingxiu's eyes was the white area under Li Qingzhu's neck, followed by her beautiful face.
Leng Qingxiu was a little surprised to see Li Qingzhu dressed in a red skirt and a black short leather jacket. He thought Li Qingzhu would come to see him dressed like in the photo.
While Leng Qingxiu was staring at her, Li Qingzhu was also staring at him openly.
He was wearing a black suit, a watch, and his nails were neatly trimmed, following the curve of the nail. One or two blue veins appeared on the back of his hand, and in Li Qingzhu's eyes, those veins made his hands look very beautiful.
His face is very masculine, with clear contours, a high nose, sharp eyebrows, and especially his eyes, which look very wild.
"I'm Leng Qingxiu." The man's voice was cold and low.
"Are you Miss Li?"
"My name is Li Qingzhu." Li Qingzhu sat opposite Leng Qingxiu and stretched out his right hand.
Leng Qingxiu stepped forward and shook her hand, then released her hand. "I heard that Miss Li is a high school teacher. I wasn't expecting that."
"Really? I heard you're in business."
"I heard from your mother that you teach politics?"
"I haven't told my mother yet that I resigned." Li Qingzhu had resigned before the winter vacation, but did not tell her mother.
"Oh? That's a pity." Leng Qingxiu replied indifferently.
Li Qingzhu didn't hear that he felt much pity for her.
The two of them had dinner, and finally Leng Qingxiu sent Li Qingzhu back.
The car stopped at the address of the apartment shared by Li Qingzhu and Xu Li.
"Go find Miss Li again when you have time."
"Then I'll wait for Mr. Leng's invitation."
Li Qingzhu knew that it was just a polite remark.
Leng Qingxiu didn't expect Li Qingzhu to say this to him. He turned around and looked at Li Qingzhu, then smiled and said, "Okay."
Li Qingzhu got out of the car and walked forward without looking back.
It was a pity that she didn't meet the male protagonist today. She wanted to see his demeanor.
Li Qingzhu shook her head. Forget it. As long as Xu Li didn't run into them, it would be fine. The mission had gone smoothly at first. As for Leng Qingxiu, there was no rush. The thought of competing with the new mission target made Li Qingzhu feel quite happy. She walked briskly, and her cheerfulness could be felt just from looking at her back.
Leng Qingxiu watched the sexy figure gradually disappear, and four words flashed through his mind: swaying and coquettish.
