Zheng Yu's voice was gentle and soft, as if she was genuinely afraid of frightening He Yi. She reached out and gently rubbed He Yi's head.
Why do I feel like the male lead is inexplicably doting on me?
[Damn it, the female lead has no chance.]
Looking at the female lead's expression, I'm afraid she'll turn evil first.
The scrolling comments made He Yi understand Jiang Shu's current thoughts.
She knew that girls in the capital couldn't be that simple, especially a noblewoman like Jiang Shu, who was even less likely to be an innocent and naive girl.
However, what He Yi needs to do now is to play the role of an innocent and naive girl while ensuring her own safety.
She took a step back timidly, then looked at Jiang Shu cautiously: "Did I disturb you?"
"Miss Zheng is joking."
Jiang Shu stepped forward, placed the bowl of medicine in her hand on the table, and smiled at her.
“I envy your deep sibling bond, but I’m the only daughter in my family and don’t have any brothers or sisters.”
"If only I had a little sister as well-behaved and sensible as you."
As Jiang Shu spoke, she took He Yi's hand and smiled gently at her.
"Heyi, I felt very close to you the moment I saw you. You should visit me more often in the future."
"My birthday is on the seventh day of next month. You absolutely have to come, okay?"
Jiang Shu smiled very gently, exuding an indescribable elegance.
I finally understand the difference between the female lead and the supporting female character: it's like comparing a woman to a little maid!
If I were a man, I wouldn't be able to refuse the female lead either.
[Noble, gentle, generous, elegant, and most importantly, very sensible and feminine!]
[The male lead's expression probably means he's finally seeing that our female lead is doing well, right?]
The comments scrolled wildly. He Yi followed the comments and looked at Zheng Yu next to her. Sure enough, she found that Zheng Yu's expression was very relaxed, but she didn't know why.
This person usually has a cold face, as if he has facial paralysis, but now that he has seen Jiang Shu, his whole demeanor has changed, and the tension in his body has disappeared.
Is this the destiny of the male and female leads? No matter how hard she tries, in the end, Zheng Yu only loves Jiang Shu?
Thinking of this, He Yi felt even more indignant. She refused to believe that there was any couple she couldn't separate!
"Thank you for your kind words, Your Highness. I just returned and people don't really like me. It's all thanks to Your Highness's high regard for me."
"I will definitely arrive on time on the seventh day of next month. Please do not find it offensive, Your Highness."
He Yi gently agreed, her whole demeanor like a spoiled kitten, exuding docility.
Originally, Jiang Shu thought that He Yi had ulterior motives towards Zheng Yu, but now, seeing He Yi's obedient, gentle and docile appearance, she lowered her guard.
Come to think of it, a little girl like her has been suffering in the countryside for several years and has just returned. She is unfamiliar with everything in the capital. I suppose it's because she has no friends that she is clinging to her older brother at home.
For some reason, Jiang Shu felt a pang of heartache for He Yi, and her gaze softened considerably when she looked at He Yi.
Holy crap, the female supporting character is amazing!
[So this defuses the female lead's malice?]
[Watch your mouth, upstairs! When did our heroine ever show any malice?]
[Reject female rivalry; support the heroine's unparalleled beauty.]
Through the comments, He Yi knew that Jiang Shu was less wary of her now, and even felt a little more tenderness towards her.
He Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She not only wanted to cling to the male lead's coattails, but also to cling tightly to the female lead's coattails.
Although the female lead and she both have their eyes on the same man, He Yi has not forgotten Jiang Shu's background. After all, Jiang Shu is the only daughter of the eldest princess and the most noble girl in the entire capital. Her status and position are top-notch!
Being friends with someone like that means you'll only benefit from it and never lose out.
As long as she clings to Jiang Shu's coattails, the other noble ladies in the capital will quickly accept her, and then there won't be so much trouble.
The more He Yi thought about it, the more certain she became that she needed to get along well with Jiang Shu.
There are plenty of men out there, and a girl like Jiang Shu certainly wouldn't waste her time on one man. So as long as she tries to make Jiang Shu like someone else, the conflict between the two of them will disappear.
As He Yi thought about it, her smile towards Jiang Shu became even more sincere.
Why does the female supporting character's smile seem off?
[Oh my god, could the female supporting character have a crush on the female lead?]
[Female lead, run! The female supporting character is going to eat you!]
The barrage of comments scrolled wildly, accompanied by sharp, explosive sounds.
However, He Yi didn't care about any of that. She just smiled and then left. What she needed to do now was to keep showing her face in front of Jiang Shu, but she couldn't let Jiang Shu hate her!
As for Zheng Yu, she will find a way to sneak into the village and fire a gun quietly, without alerting Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu hadn't expected He Yi to leave so suddenly. She looked at Zheng Yu shyly and then said, "Your sister is quite cute."
"She had a tough time after she came back."
"If there is anything I have done poorly, please forgive me, Your Highness."
Zheng Yu withdrew his gaze and smiled slightly at Jiang Shu.
These words deepened Jiang Shu's affection for He Yi.
She felt that Zheng Yu was treating her as one of his own, which was why he said those things.
