Ruo Qiu felt blissful. Everyday, she only travels between home and her office. Occasionally, she will meet up with her friends that she's known from school in her neighbourhood. Never, has she ever, encountered a guy nearly as good looking as the young man in front of her right now.
The young man cleared his throat, looking shy.
"Oh, sorry. You were saying you are here to apologise?" Ruo Qiu looked at him, eyes filled with curiosity. She wonders how the plot will develop. Although she does hold some grudges against the system.
"In all of the transmigration stories that I have read, the leads always have either, a cool meeting, or, an encounter that makes even the readers blush." She lamented in her mind. "Why is it when it's me, it's such a lame first meeting?"
"Yes, Miss Lala. My name is Chen Zheyuan. I would like to apologise for earlier it was our fault that you had a scare and thus, fainted." He explained.
That explains it.
"Wait, you said our…? You and…?"
"How is it our fault!" Came another young man's voice.
Ruo Qiu turned to the direction where the voice was coming from and saw a tanned handsome young man standing across the room. This guy has a more intense blue aura surrounding him. Ruo Qiu was feeling perplexed. If this guy has a more intense aura than this guy, then does this mean…
That is correct! That young man is the male lead!
"Then what about…" Ruo Qiu turned back to look at the young man across the table.
That is the second male lead!
At that moment, Ruo Qiu felt like she had just been struck by a bolt of lightning.
"But this guy is totally my ideal type…" Ruo Qiu muttered inaudibly.
You have met the male lead! Mission complete! You have gained 20 CP!
"If anyone is at fault, it would be her!" He pointed at Ruo Qiu.
"How is it–" She got interrupted before she could finish.
"She came out of nowhere. It's more like she scared the horses." He snorted.
"Why this brat–" Ruo Qiu couldn't stand the tone in the man's voice any longer and began rolling up her sleeves as she got up from her seat.
A new storyline mission has arrived! Raise the male lead's affection towards you to 1%.
"Huh?" Ruo Qiu glared at the ceiling.
Hold on.
"To 1%? Not by 1%? I swear…the wording traps in this game." Ruo Qiu started punching and kicking air in frustration.
"What is his level of affection for me now?" She asked.
Negative 100%!
Ruo Qiu almost choked on her own saliva. Then again, she's read this trope before. It's nothing that should faze her but she couldn't help but wonder if she had somehow, by any chance, unknowingly selected Asian Mode as the difficulty level.
"If anything, she should be apologising to us!"
Ah. She almost forgot that this brat is still yapping away.
Ruo Qiu just got reminded of why she always suffered from second lead syndrome, be it reading web novels and webtoons, or watching dramas. She has always preferred the gentler and kinder second male lead.
You have received a new side mission! Make the male lead smile at you!
"Huhhhh?!"
Ruo Qiu couldn't hide the annoyance on her face as she watched the man approach the table.
