it's actually not easy wanting to be a supporting Male lead

2.3

Chapter 2.3

Sometimes, there are stories where individuals naturally don’t get along well with select people. Perhaps this male lead decided that the supporting male lead is an eyesore the moment they met. This is a logical reason to explain why Mo Xuanzhi acts the way he does towards Sui Yuan. Only, he is not quite sure if someone finds another person unbearable, will said person always want to come to blows[1] with the other?

Faced with this question, 5237 whines and moans for more than half a day before giving him an equivocal affirmative. And much to its eternal sorrow…Sui Yuan actually… Honestly. Believed. It…

5237 feels like its integrity had fallen to the bottom of the ocean. Leading such a naïve and innocent child astray really fills it with guilt ah!

Convinced that the male lead assaulted him with an unorthodox move purely because Mo Xuanzhi disliked him, the heavy burden in Sui Yuan’s heart quickly lightens. With no secondary worries occupying his thoughts, he can finally concentrate on wrangling this deformed storyline back in order by plotting how to drag the male and female leads together.

First of all, he cannot be too intimate with the female lead. In terms of this, Sui Yuan feels he is doing exceedingly well. Even Leng Xia herself doesn’t notice that he is meticulously keeping his distance.

Secondly, he has to manufacture as many opportunities for them to interact as possible. If the male lead is hungry, send the female lead over to feed him. If the male lead sustains an injury, send the female lead over to give him first aid. If the male lead suffers from insomnia… Umm…well, he is still working on that… But either way, since Leng Xia is originally the logistics support in the team, it wouldn’t seem strange to keep pushing her to the male lead during those situations.

It’s just… Everything that he has planned so far with great effort and dedication yielded minimal results, if at all. All the hope and anticipation that rises each time crumbles swiftly.

Sui Yuan feels that all this is due to him, as the supporting male lead, cutting in between Mo Xuanzhi and Leng Xia during a critical juncture.

In the original text, Leng Xia meets Mo Xuanzhi in the window period of He Haochen’s absence. Therefore, when such an outstanding male expressed goodwill, she was naturally drawn in. Everything that comes after is logical. A deeper friendship leading to affection, and finally, love. Now, however, the situation has changed. The female lead is not some fickle lady. Presently, her feelings of deep friendship for He Haochen is restricting her from looking at Mo Xuanzhi as more than a tentative ally. Of course, with this frame of mind, she wouldn’t be too intimate with him.

As for the male lead…his attention seems, for the most part, focused on destroying his love rival, thus neglecting that he ought to be paying more attention to the female lead.

Fortunately, they have nearly reached Lu Sheng’s largest survivor’s base of operation. Once they arrive, Sui Yuan can successfully withdraw from the stage, leaving the male and female lead to meld together.

Sitting on the ground, one hand supporting his body while the other wipes away the beads of sweat gathered on his forehead, Sui Yuan gasps for breath. His body is currently sapped of all strength to the point that he doesn’t even feel like lifting a finger.

Just recently, they were embroiled in a hard battle. Only after experiencing significant, material losses did they finally manage to break away from the closely pursuing swarm of zombies. This so-called ‘main lead’s physique’ is a rather bothersome thing that never fails in attracting trouble. As long as Mo Xuanzhi was here, one can wave peaceful days goodbye. Before, when this team only had the female lead, things were still relatively okay. Now, with the addition of the male lead whose abilities can be classed as heaven-defying, higher-ranked foes pour forth. If the enemies remained the same common ones that were easily dealt with, how would the male lead be able to display his incredible skills?
