The Cold and Ruthless Supporting Male Lead

Knowing that Li Haiku had prepared a birthday gift for her, Lan Weicai felt quite happy. Every girl in her heart dreams of a prince on a white horse, and she also hoped for a brother who treated her well. While fantasizing about her future boyfriend, Lan Weicai also felt that Li Haiku was her knight.

The female lead in ‘Angel Street no.23’ was the image Lan Weicai had always imagined for herself. Not only did she have her beloved prince, but she also had a knight who always protected her.

(T/N: Angel Street no.23 = a.k.a The Love Story on Angle Streets no.23; is a shojo manga written and published in China in 2007.)

“Alright, since you’ve already prepared a gift for me, I’ll forgive you,” Lan Weicai pouted and blinked her big eyes, showing her cute, shy side.

Hai Ku let out a sigh of relief and returned to his room.

[Does the host need to purchase the answer to what the female lead’s gold finger is?]

“Is this a trap?” After finally gaining a few experience points, Hai Ku instinctively asked when he heard the word “purchase.”

[This world’s female lead’s special ability is unique, and since she is still young, you can learn about it by spending 5 experience points.]

5 experience points?

Hai Ku hesitated for a moment. His mission in this world was simply to get into a good university, so what the female lead’s special ability was had nothing to do with him.

However, considering that the other person was only a 15-year-old girl, whose worldview and values might not yet be fully formed, and since this was the first romance novel he was reading, with even the long reviews handwritten, it would be impossible not to feel some emotions.

After a moment’s hesitation, Hai Ku nodded. “Alright, purchase it.”

[The female lead’s special ability is, ‘universally loved’. Please note that various high-quality male characters will appear around the female lead. Special reminder; Encouraging the female lead to focus on studying and getting into a university will grant ten times the experience points.]

Hai Ku: “…” Actually, those five experience points were probably just bait for a big catch.

Although he had mentally prepared himself, Hai Ku still felt that he had been a bit far-seeing, even when preparing the gift for the female lead; it all seemed so calculated.

Thinking back to when he was in high school, Hai Ku had enjoyed watching the romances of those 15-16-year-olds, but now, perhaps because he was older, he felt that while those relationships were pure, they still had an impact on studies.

With a sigh, Hai Ku decided to do something about this first book he had fallen into.

Having decided to stay at school, Hai Ku went to the school that evening and finished settling in his belongings.

There was a late study session that evening, but the school wasn’t strict about it, since the school gate had just opened yesterday, and some students hadn’t finished moving in their things. So, they only called roll symbolically and let them leave.

Thanks to the memories of the original owner, Hai Ku knew that the school dormitories were divided into three levels. One type was a ten-person dormitory, another type was eight people per dorm, and the one Hai Ku stayed in was a six-person dorm.

The six-person dorms had bunk beds with desks underneath. Though it was just high school, it already looked like a university dormitory. Not only did they have air conditioning, but they were also equipped with washing machines and even had 24-hour electricity.

However, the dorm Hai Ku stayed in was a mixed dorm, as it had only started allowing students to stay in dorms this year. The dorm for his class had already been filled, so Hai Ku’s dorm had three second-year students, two first-year students, and even a third-year student.

If this were in the real world, Hai Ku might think the setup was a bit strange, but when he thought about this world, he found it to be perfectly normal.

The original Li Haiku had never stayed in a dorm before, so he had to get to know all the people in the dorm again.

However, what surprised him was that the male lead was actually staying in the same dorm as him.

“Let’s all introduce ourselves. My name is Li Haiku, and I’m from Class 7, Year 2. This is my first time staying in a dorm. What class are you all from?” Hai Ku didn’t hesitate, and after putting away his things, he took the initiative to speak.

He needed to quickly get to know the people in the dorm. Based on his years of experience, many times the male supporting characters and the male lead were all gathered in one place. It was possible that in this dorm, there could be three or four high-quality male characters.

After all, judging by their appearances, all of these guys were quite handsome and very much in line with the male lead image in idol dramas.

Plus, now that the originally off-campus male lead had moved in, Hai Ku felt even more certain that his guess might be right.

The entire dorm was made up of boys, and everyone’s personality was more straightforward, so they all spoke up one after another.

Yan Yufeng had a cold expression on his face. “I’m Yan Yufeng, from Class 3, Year 1.”

“I didn’t expect there would be first-years here. I’m from Class 6, Year 2. My name is Long Ritian.”

“I’m also in Year 2. My name is Duanmu Xi, from Class 2.”

“I’m in the same class as Yan Yufeng. My name is Yan Yue.”

“Senior, Class 3. Ouyang Guang,” said Ouyang Guang with a smile. “I think your names are quite familiar. I guess you all must be heirs from big families? The Yan family, the Long family, the Duanmu family, the Yan family… I’m from the Ouyang family.”

(T/N: The ‘yan’ from Yan Yufeng is spelled [炎 yán: flame], while Yan Yue is spelled [嚴 yán: tight (closely sealed); stern; strict. Both are read the same way.)

Long Ritian laughed, “Hahaha, it sounds like we’re quite fated.”

Hai Ku: “…” No, I’m not…
