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

Chapter 2.5

When Sui Yuan regains consciousness, the first thing he is aware of is that he was currently lying across the backseat of a vehicle. He had already mentally prepared himself before he was knocked out by whatever drug made him go limp, so at this moment, he is calm. Very calm and collected! A hand rubbing the nape of his neck that is aching faintly, he glances at Mo Xuanzhi, who is driving the car.

Un, and of course, the woman in the passenger seat, Leng Xia.

…This kind of male and female lead eloping, but bringing along the supporting male lead…isn’t this a little strange…?

“Haochen, you are awake? Are you all right?” Hearing the sound of movements coming from the backseat, Leng Xia turns around, face full of concern. On the other hand, Mo Xuanzhi simply glances at him from the rear-view mirror, displaying no further superfluous reactions.

Reassuring Leng Xia that he is fine, he eyes the back of Mo Xuanzhi’s head with a displeased air. “I would like to ask what in the world is going on.”

“I want to go to the capital,” Mo Xuanzhi drawls, completely not answering the question.

Sui Yuan continues pressing him. “So…?”

“So, I want to bring you along too.” The man chuckles.

Sui Yuan: “……”

Although he has already labelled this male lead as a pirate and a tyrant ever since their first meeting, don’t you think that this kidnapping of random hostages is too much?!

“What should be done now?” Since Mo Xuanzhi is making communicating with him so difficult, Sui Yuan finally gives up and silently implores 5237.

“Cold salad[1],” 5237 grunts, seemingly wanting to wash its hands off this entire affair.

But even as it says this, the system is tied together in the same sinking boat with Sui Yuan. No matter what, it cannot simply fold its arms and try to ignore everything going to hell. After trying to smother itself for half a day, 5237 finally returns to its professional mental state and begins to help Sui Yuan analyse their present situation.

“Actually, the situation is not too disastrous. I feel…it can still be rescued.” 5237 says, clearing his throat.

Sui Yuan’s eyes brighten in anticipation, sincerely asking how it can be salvaged. “Should I escape?”

“I feel that the success rate of doing so will be extremely low. There’s no point attempting to flee.” 5237 has also come to dislike this male lead’s physique. “However, if you look at it from another angle, although the period where you are meant to be alone in Lu Sheng’s base has now been thrown aside, it is only a mere line in the original text. Whether it happens or not wouldn’t bring about a major change in the plot. Moreover, after that period ends, you will also need to go to the capital. Now, you’re only heading there at a much earlier date.”

Sui Yuan’s eyes brighten as though he has achieved enlightenment.

5237 especially detests this simple-minded attitude of his, so it can’t help but pour cold water on his head. “Although I said that this plot can be rescued, it is currently lying in the emergency room, prepared to give out at any time!”

Silently, Sui Yuan’s eyes drop to his lap. “Then…I suppose all I can do now is to make a supreme effort to reduce my presence, waiting until the right time the supporting male lead is meant to appear before making my move, right?”

“The most important task is to supervise the development of feelings between the male and female leads……” 5237 pauses for three whole seconds, then corrects itself, “Forget it, you don’t need to worry about this task anymore. I feel that the more you meddle, the more this plot derails. For now, just focus on making yourself as small as possible!”
