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

2.7

Chapter 2.7

Gradually, everyone notices that Sui Yuan’s attitude towards Mo Xuanzhi begins to change. At minimum, he doesn’t reject the other’s approach any longer, sometimes even expressing a little concern for him. Only, what has all of them gnashing their teeth in irritation is the more Sui Yuan reciprocates his kindness, the more their Boss becomes withdrawn.

What should have kick-started an official relationship between the two eventually ends up yielding no results. Seeing their expectations crumbling before their hopeful eyes, it really makes their heart itch like no tomorrow. Oh, how they wish they can force those two into a room and lock them in until the rice is cooked[1]. That way, this little drama will finally have an ending…

It takes a few days of Sui Yuan returning Mo Xuanzhi’s kindness for the latter to get used to it; and for the relationship between them to return to normal, which means the male lead also returns to harassing him. For some reason, Sui Yuan feels very certain that Mo Xuanzhi will never do anything too terrible to him. No matter how ambiguous the atmosphere between them is, it can never completely cover up the fact that this male lead is simply teasing him. However, when he is not poking fun at Sui Yuan, he simply observes him silently. It is during these occasions that Sui Yuan becomes a tad agitated.

Either way, if Mo Xuanzhi wants to play, then Sui Yuan will ‘repay his kindness’ and play with him until the end. Since there is no chance of there being a romance between the male and female lead, he only needs to ensure nothing develops between the male lead and himself. This way, the situation wouldn’t worsen further.

– In any case, he has already experienced failing half his task in terms of romance between the leads. Walking down the same path again is no pressure. He just needs to succeed in the other half of his mission. Sui Yuan wills himself to have facial paralysis for a short while, lest he breaks down crying.

Besides the romance part of things, the other task he has to accomplish in this world is to ensure the major events are maintained. This doesn’t actually require Sui Yuan to do anything. Even if he sits back and watch, the storyline will unfold by itself. All he really needs to do is to protect the male lead from danger and make sure he doesn’t die. As for the supporting male lead’s own ending, this world is completely different from the previous one. For He Haochen doesn’t have a clear end he needs to comply with. Even during the conclusion of the story, the supporting male lead’s circumstances is not mentioned.

…He most probably ended up blending into the crowd of ordinary folks?

Sui Yuan can only take one step, then observe the situation before taking another step forward. Even if he doesn’t know what he has to do near the end of the story, for now, his top priority is to guard the male lead from death.

Repeatedly fighting alongside each other, mutually watching each other’s back…the fact that this seems like something a married couple will do is something he doesn’t understand, and can’t be bothered to either…

Living in the capital can be considered as satisfactory. Going out to fight zombies with the team every day, gathering crystals, searching for goods and supplies. In a blink of an eye, two years passed just like this.

When news of the destruction of Lu Sheng’s largest base reaches the capital, Sui Yuan knows that the first major climax of the story has officially begun.

Just like how human Ability Users constantly evolve, the undead themselves are also climbing higher and higher in rank. Not only are these higher-level zombies stronger in every aspect, they also begin to gain more knowledge and wisdom.

Naturally, when compared to humans, the difference in intelligence is still far, far away. If mankind’s wisdom lies in fighting and scheming, then the zombies’ lie in working as one. In terms of who will win or lose, it is quite difficult to judge.
