Get Demoted Into Cannon Fodder

Arc 3.8

Seeing that Shi Shen didn't even glance in the female lead's direction, He Tian worriedly asked,''Aren't you going to make any fateful encounter?''

To be honest, he has never
seen Shi Shen ever chased after someone so he was a bit antsy for him.

On the other hand, Shi Shen
lifted his brows then berated,''Stop watching the dramas already.''

He Tian,''......''I would like
to say that the dramas that I have ever watched were those that you are starring in!

I have been forced to look at them for all this time, okay!

He had lost count on how many fateful encounters did he stage for the man back in his world!

Ignoring his fury, Shi Shen instead said,''There is no side task.''

He Tian calmed down then talked in a serious voice,''Yeah, this is weird. Normally, you should trigger one or two by now.''

Shi Shen went silent for a bit then slowly placed down his opinion,''It is only my theory ​but it seems that the side tasks are related to him.''

He Tian instantly denied,''That
shouldn't be right? In the previous world, most of the tasks were relating to Xu Huang though.''

Shi Shen leisurely put down another sentence,''Think this way. Why isn't there Zheng Zhi x Xu Huang?''

He Tian didn't back down and stated,''But there aren't Chu Jiawei and Bu Gong either.''

''Didn't you notice that those tasks only appeared when Xu Huang has already met the male lead? Going by the story, Zheng Zhi was the second male lead that Xu Huang met and the third to sleep with him. Therefore, going by the criteria of having three male leads to be with him, the tasks issued Gu Yanwu and Wu Qi so doesn't it sound strange that Zheng Zhi got left out?''

He paused a bit then continued,''This
is only my guess but the reason that there were no tasks related to the other two was simply because it wouldn't make sense if everyone except Zheng Zhi got to be in them. So it is better not to have at all in order to avoid suspiciousness since this way my assumptions are likely to be incorrect.''

Listening to his reasoning, He Tian finally drew out a conclusion,''You meant to say that he actually relates to my higher-ups?''

Shi Shen issued an indifferent en then added,"More like I am here to meet him."

When he thought of this, a person of a similar height as him suddenly stepped in his line of sight.

At the age of 17 years old, Artemis's appearance became even more enchanting. Just like what those girls said, no one could rival his beauty yet even if it were to be the female lead herself.

You wouldn't mistake him as
a woman with his current face but everyone would agree that he was even more beautiful than women.

''Took you long enough to
come back.''Said Artemis with a dissatisfied face.

Shi Shen has already gotten
used to this so he smilingly replied,''Your Highness, I need to walk past 2 buildings in order to get here.''

''If it is that tiring, why don't you stop going to that medicine class?''

Because of that damn class, they didn't get to meet for half a day!

''Lonely?''

Artemis retorted with a straight face,''No.''

Unlike before that his feelings were written all over his face, the current male lead could now effortlessly maintain his aloof face regardless of his real emotions.
