Chapter 24: He became the replacement male lead?



Lu An'an looked at He Tingyu's head with pity, her tone pitiful: "Doesn't the donkey do anything all day but kick your head?"

He Tingyu glared angrily, "Lu An'an, what do you mean!"

"It's not your fault if you can't understand the literal meaning. After all, even tofu has brains, but you don't."

He Tingyu clenched her fists in anger, burning with rage, and wanted to rush up and hit Lu An'an, but was pulled back by Lu Rongyu beside her. She gently shook her head and whispered, "Tingyu, we're still live streaming, calm down first."

Upon hearing this, He Tingyu felt resentful, but she also realized her loss of composure. She snorted fiercely, her eyes still burning with anger, but she forcibly suppressed it.

Lu Rongyu's eyes flickered, and she asked Lu An'an in a soft voice, "Sister, when did you arrive here?"

Before Lu An'an could speak, Lu Yanli interrupted her, saying dismissively, "What's it to you? We've been rivals since the group assignments started. We have no obligation to answer your questions."

Lu Rongyu was speechless for a moment, her expression changing slightly. She then adjusted her strategy, looking at Gu Tingyan with a pitiful expression: "Brother Tingyan, you don't want to tell me either?"

Gu Tingyan shuddered, his face full of rejection. "Lu... Rongyu? Is that your name? I'm not familiar with you, so please don't call me Brother Tingyan anymore. It's disgusting."

Upon hearing this, the air seemed to freeze, and Lu Rongyu's expression turned even more unpleasant.

[Emm...I feel like Lu Rongyu is quite the tea bitch.]

[Now that you mention it, Lu An'an must be even more of a tease. She pretended to be wronged and ran away, but now she's cursing so smoothly.]

[Wasn't she right to curse? I even think I was being polite; if it were me, I would have slapped her.]

Lu Yixuan couldn't bear to see Lu Rongyu being bullied, and he shouted at Gu Tingyan, "Gu Tingyan, what kind of attitude is this!"

Gu Tingyan looked at Lu Yixuan and said sarcastically, "What attitude am I talking about? Who do you think you are, talking to me like that, huh? Lu Yixuan?"

He Beichen, standing to the side, looked at Gu Tingyan with a cold expression and said in a chilling tone, "Gu Tingyan, don't go too far."

Gu Tingyan scoffed, not taking them seriously at all.

Lu An'an's questioning gaze shifted back and forth between Lu Rongyu, Gu Tingyan, and He Beichen.

[That's strange, why does it seem like Gu Tingyan really dislikes Lu Rongyu?]

[And He Beichen is already defending Lu Rongyu? That seems too early. Logically, Gu Tingyan should have developed feelings for Lu Rongyu around this time, but Gu Tingyan and Lu Rongyu haven't interacted at all except for the beginning. On the contrary, it's He Beichen who has taken over?]

Lu Yanli's probing gaze swept back and forth between the three. "Appointed"? It should be "filling the gap," right? Gu Tingyan didn't follow the male lead's storyline, so a male lead was brought in to fill the gap?

The surroundings were quiet, and no one spoke; it was as if even the air had frozen.

"Hey, can you guys please do something about me? The ground is pretty cold."

Lu An'an turned around and looked at the NPC aunt who was still lying on the ground, even adjusting her posture, turning to the side, propping her head up with her elbow and watching them like she was watching a show. Her lips twitched slightly.

[Quite dedicated, still lying down?]

The woman noticed everyone's attention returning to her, and in a second her expression changed drastically. She started yelling again, "Oh dear, you've hit someone! Quick, take me to the hospital by boat!"

[Seriously, this old lady's acting skills are wasted on playing just one NPC.]

[Did that lady eat Dove chocolate? It's so smooth!]

Gu Tingyan rubbed his temples and said helplessly, "Auntie, just tell me how you'll let us through."

The woman sat up abruptly, saying anxiously, "I just want you to come with me to the beach. I need to take a boat home. Here..."

"Gentlemen, what are you all doing here?"

Hearing the sound, everyone turned to look, and saw a group of people in neat uniforms walking slowly from not far away, with the man in the lead looking at them with a warm smile.

Lu An'an and Lu Yanli exchanged a glance, both with a hint of excitement in their eyes. The real show was about to begin!

Gu Tingyan looked at the approaching person and said innocently, "We just arrived at the resort island. Who knew that when we got here, this aunt suddenly jumped out and bumped into me. After that, she lay on the ground and said that I had hurt her and that I should take her to the hospital."

Upon hearing this, the leader's expression changed slightly, his eyes subtly sweeping over the middle-aged woman. He bowed slightly and said apologetically, "Honorable guests, we apologize for the fright you have caused. Our people will handle things here. Now, let me take you to the resort. Please."

After speaking, he raised his hand slightly, signaling the people around him to help the old woman up, and quickly and orderly cleared a smooth path.

He stepped aside, a gentle yet courteous smile on his lips, and invited everyone to follow him to the resort.

Lu An'an exchanged a subtle glance with her companions and followed the leader toward the resort.

No sooner had I taken a step than I heard a terrified scream from behind me: "No, don't go... um... um!"

The crowd stopped and turned around. They saw one of the men supporting the woman covering her mouth tightly, smiling at them.

Looking at the smile on the man's face, Lu An'an felt something was off. She pretended not to understand and asked the leader, "What do you mean by this?"

The leader's smile remained unchanged, his tone icy: "This guest used to extort money from others while she was at the resort. We had no choice but to temporarily detain her, planning to send her back to shore when the next boat came. Who knew she would escape and disturb you all? It's nothing serious, please follow me."

After saying that, he stopped talking, turned around and walked forward. The crowd looked at each other, and seeing that they could not get any more clues from him, they could only suppress their probing gazes and silently follow behind him.

Lu An'an lowered her eyes slightly, her gaze dimming, a hint of doubt creeping into her heart.

Something felt off; the older woman's fear just now didn't seem like acting.

She carefully recalled every subtle expression and movement the older woman had made.

Gu Shichuan quietly walked to her side, a smug smile playing on his lips, and lowered his voice: "See? I guessed right. That old lady really did try to scam someone inside."

Lu An'an: "......"

Lu Yanli: "..."

Shen Yi: "..."

Gu Tingyan: "..."

Shen Jiajia rolled her eyes. "I was just being redundant by coming here to listen."

Lu An'an affectionately patted Gu Shichuan's head, "Good boy, don't participate in these kinds of topics in the future, they're not suitable for you. Just count the moon at night and the sun during the day."

Lu Yanli looked at Gu Tingyan with pity, shook his head, and sighed.

Gu Tingyan: ? ? ? No, what does this have to do with him? Who's pitiful with Lu Yanli's dead fish eyes!

[Younger brother Shichuan, you're right. Don't say that again next time.]

[Brother Yan: Poor Gu Gou, those two brothers must be sharing the same brain, right?]

[My sister has such a sharp tongue, hahaha]

Gu Shichuan scratched the back of his head, completely bewildered. Was he wrong?
