Reborn into the Sickly Childhood Friend Route in an Otome Game

After transmigrating, Song Shouyu became the childhood-friend puppy-like younger brother in a romance game. His character was frail and sickly, a genius boy who only smiled for the heroine. He was the weakest of the cast, which meant his storyline was also the most tragic. And since childhood friends never beat sudden arrivals, his was the least popular route. Song Shouyu was best at winning people over. Being right next door, he could make his target confess to him in less than three months. Even the heroine would Well, he was gay. With his frail constitution, Song Shouyu panted after every few steps and received plenty of care from the heroine. He saw the gentle, adorable heroine as family and stood by her side as her protector. On stormy nights, he held the frightened heroine. During her period, he brought medicine for her cramps. In everyday life, he took care of her in every possible way. Even in a rivalry, he didn't hesitate to compete with the other routes. Song Shouyu won the heroine's favor and drew the other male leads' hostility. But when faced with their jealousy and revenge, he never fought back or competed. Instead, he found a corner to lick his wounds in silence. Only when the heroine noticed his dejection would he show a hint of vulnerability and say, "Sis, did I do something wrong?" Then he could sit back and enjoy the other routes' groveling as they tried to win their wives back. Heh, he was going to be a green-tea bitch. The perfect victim. It felt great. In the end, he received the heroine's heartfelt confession. Huh??? This wasn't how it was supposed to go. Time to get out of here. Song Shouyu patted the heroine's head and wiped away her tears as they poured down. "I'm sorry. I only want you to be happy." Then he left for a faraway land. Zhou Xun first met Song Shouyu at a banquet. He noticed that the people around the other man were rather strange: a girl chasing after him, and four young men following the girl. All five were somewhat famous, either rising young talents in various industries or heirs to wealthy families. The one-way crush was obvious. Zhou Xun raised his champagne to hide his smile, his eyes following that lively figure. How interesting. He had to meet this person. Halfway through the banquet, Song Shouyu was dragged into an empty room. Faced with the unfriendly looks of several male leads, he had already seen it coming. Then he tripped and fell beside a chair. The door clicked open, and the male leads all jolted, already bracing themselves for the heroine to misunderstand them yet again. But the person who entered this time was Zhou, the CEO of the Zhou Group, known as the "Business Emperor." Zhou Xun's attention was entirely drawn to Song Shouyu. The young man who had been chatting away outside just moments ago, and seemed capable of climbing onto the roof to tear it off, now looked like an abandoned cat. He raised his eyes, his whole body radiating a pitiful, heartbreakingly vulnerable melancholy. Zhou Xun: Damn, he really knows how to put on an act.
