Chapter 29: The Heroine Saves the Beauty, Gradually Falling for Her...
Some people have a low alcohol tolerance, but they insist on drinking, and soon they are dizzy and sitting at the table unable to speak.
The system whispered from the side, "Host... male supporting characters are easily bullied by women when they're drunk."
Chi Zhao's face turned ashen. He's always causing me trouble!
Her eyes flashed with murderous intent as she glared at the person next to her.
Unaware, Lin Huai's eyes remained bright, filled with a subtle adoration and respect as he looked at her.
Damn, this made her too embarrassed to get angry.
She could only continue to glare at Lin Huai, but to others, such actions looked like they were exchanging flirtatious glances.
Director Yang felt he had handled the matter very well, and with a smile, he persuaded Chi Zhao to eat a few bites of food. After the meal, he asked Chi Zhao to help take Lin Huai back to his hotel room.
Chi Zhaomu had a blank expression, unable to refuse; she wasn't comfortable letting someone else take the male supporting character home.
I could only nod in agreement.
Director Yang didn't want to disturb them, so he confidently left.
After everyone left, Chi Zhao gave Lin Huai a cold glance.
Lin Huai then realized that the other party was somewhat unhappy.
Looking bewildered, she whispered, "Mr. Chi, I... I didn't mean to misunderstand you... You're a good person."
They've started giving out "friend zone" cards.
She was incredibly annoyed but couldn't do anything to him. She glared at him angrily for a while before finally reaching out to help him up.
Then, the outstretched hand was grasped by another delicate, cool hand.
Chi Zhao:?
No, what do you mean? Sexual harassment?!
Don't think that just because you're a man you can touch women however you want!
Chi Zhao silently sulked.
Lin Huai was just a drunken fool. He put his hand on hers and asked if that was true.
...
She couldn't be bothered with him; he was drunk anyway, and if she was rough with him, he probably wouldn't remember it tomorrow.
So she simply pulled her hand away, ignored him, and picked him up in her arms, carrying him away from the hotel.
Lin Huai didn't find the other person's actions rude at all. On the contrary, he felt very safe in that embrace, as if he would never be bullied again.
That's great.
Chi Zhao had the driver take him to the hotel where Lin Huai was staying.
Lin Huai was also unsteady on his feet. After letting go of him, he took two unsteady steps. President Chi was silent, then went over and picked him up again, one arm around his thin shoulder and the other around his legs.
Chi Zhao is strong, and her body has been constantly exercising, so hugging a slender man in the entertainment industry is not a difficult task for her.
"Room key".
She said.
Lin Huai was still staring at her, his eyes were dark and bright, like stars, just like when Yan Zhou was being coquettish.
But he is not Yanzhou.
His temper was also much worse than Yanzhou's.
There is no Yanzhou in this world.
Thinking about this, Chi Zhao's mood became rather unpleasant.
He angrily pulled the person inside, threw them onto the bed, and then turned and left without even glancing at them.
99 looked completely bewildered, cautiously approaching the host, [Are we just going to abandon the male supporting character like this?]
Why worry? He's not a child anymore; he can take care of himself.
【oh……】
I'm so hungry.
The bee patted its abdomen, so dejected that even its antennae drooped slightly.
Because it was really hungry.
If the host can't get any sugar, the host won't get any sugar at all.
The host only likes Yanzhou, not Xiaohuai.
But it can't say anything.
I'm so worried.
Soon the production team replaced the female lead with another actress in the industry who was also very talented. Director Yang specifically sent a message to her to discuss this, and she even sent someone to investigate that actress. She was considered clean in the industry and didn't engage in any underhanded practices.
Okay, that's good.
Chi Zhao felt relieved and stopped hanging around the male supporting character to avoid both of them getting annoyed.
Several days later, after a busy day, Chi Zong finally had some time to sleep and catch up on his sleep, only to be awakened by the system's sharp, crackling sound.
I was completely disoriented and had no idea where I was.
The system was extremely anxious. Seeing that the host was not moving, it hurriedly tried to pull her up.
[Host, host, hurry! Someone is bullying the male supporting character!]
A drowsy Chi Zhao, on the verge of death, was startled awake and almost jumped out of bed.
In novels, the male supporting character's descent into darkness often stems from being sexually exploited and losing his innocence. If the male supporting character is also bullied tonight, the mission will likely be deemed a failure, and she certainly doesn't want that after working so hard for so long.
But the male supporting character really does attract bad people. How does he manage to be sexually harassed every few days? She was already so tired that she lay down!
How annoying.
It was the middle of the night, so Chi Zhao couldn't call a driver and had to drive himself.
With the car speed increased to the maximum legal limit, the dark red car shot off like an arrow and disappeared into the bustling street in a flash.
The system located her while explaining what had happened.
It turns out that Chi Zhao had turned down the Tianyao banquet yesterday to rest, but the male supporting character attended.
Then, at the banquet, he ran into a CEO who had long coveted him. The CEO had repeatedly hinted to Lin Huai that he could take a shortcut, but Lin Huai coldly rejected him each time.
The boss was so angry that he bought him several trending negative searches.
But some people always want more the more they can't have something.
The more famous Lin Huai became in the industry, the more attractive his alluring face became to women.
Lin Huai attended the banquet alone today, which finally gave the boss an opportunity.
The boss went all out and drugged the person.
Interestingly, when the two guests disappeared during the banquet, the president of Tianyao, who was the host, actually had it suppressed and even allowed a few media outlets to enter the banquet to take pictures.
Tianyao is a subsidiary of Lanka, and its manager is Chi Zhao's niece, Chi Yue, who is also the female protagonist of the novel and the big sugar daddy who uses the male supporting character to promote the canary.
Damn it, something bad is about to happen if I don't keep an eye on it for even a short while.
The female lead is also like she's sick. If she wants to promote her little lover, she should just do it. Why is she always thinking about harming others? She's really wicked!
Chi Zhaoli stepped out of the car with a flourish, her trench coat fluttering in the wind. The security guards at the entrance were all members of the Chi family and naturally recognized her.
She entered the venue without any hindrance.
Someone noticed a figure that didn't stand out from the others and was somewhat surprised, but just as they were about to ask who this person was, the person disappeared again.
Chi Zhao didn't want to alarm too many people, especially the media. For the male supporting character, his career was just as important as his reputation, and he couldn't afford to damage it.
She grumbled as she went upstairs, but the system was even more anxious than she was, flying ahead and using its high-tech scanner to search each room. Then it screamed, "Aaaaaaah, it's this room! Help! What is that woman doing?!"
Chi Zhao clenched his fist, but before he could kick the door open, he heard a loud bang from inside, as if something heavy had struck him.
Her expression changed, and she quickly raised her foot and kicked, all in one smooth motion.
The room was a mess, like a murder scene. A rusty antique vase, stained with blood, rolled to Chi Zhao's feet.
Chi Zhao: Shock!
Fearing the male supporting character would get his head slapped, she quickly stepped over, her lips pressed into a straight line, her face cold.
However, when they went around to the other side, they saw two people lying on the bed.
One was lying face down on the bed, while the other huddled in a corner, curled up in a small ball, hugging himself tightly, his dark eyes staring in terror at the bloodstains on the bed, clearly terrified.
Chi Zhao breathed a sigh of relief after taking a look.
Thankfully, it wasn't the male supporting character who got her head smashed, or she would have been finished.
Hearing the sound of the door being kicked open, Lin Huai trembled. Despair almost filled her once bright eyes. She thought it would be that woman's accomplice who came in, but as she slowly looked up with resentment, what she saw was...
Mr. Chi, panting.
He was probably really under the influence of the Chinese medicine, because he actually found that President Chi, who was just standing there panting, was incredibly sexy, and every breath he took was sexy and beautiful.
Lin Huai was stunned, his gaze fixed blankly on the other person.
Chi Zhao frowned deeply and stated first, "I'm not with her!"
She's definitely not here to engage in any underhanded dealings!
None of the men here are as well-behaved, sensible, and considerate as her Yanzhou; she doesn't like any of them.
Lin Huai's red lips parted slightly, and he nodded blankly. Then, looking at her, he suddenly moved. Barefoot, he crawled from the bed little by little toward her. Finally, his blood-stained fingers climbed onto her black trench coat.
He buried his face in it affectionately.
Chi Zhao's body stiffened.
I don't understand why someone as sensitive to maintaining a certain distance as the male supporting character would do something like this.
"You...you've mistaken me for someone else?"
This is the only explanation; it doesn't mean he dislikes her?
Do you express your dislike by hugging the person you hate?
Lin Huai was so frightened that his soul almost left his body. After a long, long time, his face pale, he called out in a panic, "President Chi..."
Chi Zhao:......
I didn't mistake him for someone else; he actually hugged me.
The system took a deep breath, and its little eyes immediately appeared as two sunny-side-up eggs. Oh my god, it's sugar, it tastes like sugar!
So delicious!
I'm eating, I'm eating, I'm eating and eating!
This is the first time it has ever eaten candy since it came into this world!
Unfortunately, there was only a little bit, and 99 finished it quickly, looking pitifully at the host, hoping that they could produce sugar soon.
But the host completely ignored it!
Chi Zhao really didn't have time to deal with the system. She needed to take the male supporting character with her, and if she stayed any longer, who knew what kind of trouble might arise.
"Can you still walk?"
She asked.
Lin Huai stared blankly, as if processing her words. After thinking for a while, he obediently nodded in her arms, but said, "You can't walk anymore, you're too soft."
He said his legs were weak and he couldn't stand up.
Chi Zhao was about to help the man up when his gaze fell on his blood-stained hands. "Are you injured?"
"No...it belongs to someone else."
He buried his head in the other person's arms again, like a little animal that had been bullied by outsiders, finally finding someone who could protect him.
Chi Zhao glanced at the wealthy businessman who had been knocked unconscious on the bed with his head cracked open, then lowered his head and sent a few messages.
Although I find this kind of person disgusting, it wouldn't be right for her to die at Lin Huai's hands.
After sending the message, she skillfully picked him up and carried him horizontally. Lin Huai immediately wrapped his arms around her neck and shoved himself tightly into her arms.
Although Chi Zhao usually found him annoying, tonight's actions were indeed too much for an ordinary man, so she patted his back reassuringly.
Lin Huai's heart gradually calmed down, and he knew that he was saved.
As long as President Chi is there, he is safe.
