Chu Chenxi transmigrated into a campus romance novel as the devoted second male lead.
The kind of second male lead people often talk about in the comments: the male lead belongs to the heroine, but the second male lead belongs to everyone.
Loyal and lovesick, considerate and protective, he never abandons the heroine no matter how heartbroken he is, and even sincerely wishes her well in the end. In the past, he would have been called a backup boyfriend. Now, he's called a simp.
In the original story, the second male lead was unwaveringly devoted to the heroine, and his relationship with the male lead was more than friends but less than enemies. In the end, after he and the male lead fell out over the heroine, he somehow became a missing person for no clear reason.
But now there was a very serious problem.
She was the second male lead, but she was a woman?
Chu Chenxi trembled as she guarded her identity, investigating why the original second male lead had disappeared while carefully avoiding the original plot.
But as Chu Chenxi watched the male lead beside her, she fell into deep thought:
All the plot points had happened, so why had the man beside her perfectly avoided every scene that belonged to the male lead?
In the original story, when the heroine was surrounded and harassed, the male lead protected her, while the second male lead fought the harassers to give the two of them a chance to fall for each other.
When the heroine was hurt by the male lead's attitude, the second male lead comforted her and stayed by her side, encouraging her to keep working up the courage to get closer to the male lead.
When the male and female leads got caught in a melodramatic misunderstanding, the second male lead couldn't stand seeing the heroine upset. He mediated between them and stood by her side, accusing the male lead of being heartless.
But in reality, when she saw that the male lead was doing nothing while the heroine was being harassed, and prepared to step in, the man stopped her from rushing into a fight and pulled her into the crook of his arm.
“Wait. Good kids don't fight.”
“???”
Seeing the heroine hurt by the male lead's words, she had to stay in character and was just about to comfort her when the male lead rested his head on her shoulder. “I've been standing for a while. My blood sugar's a little low. Don't move. Let me rest for a bit.”
By the time she looked again, the heroine had run off in tears.
The heroine misunderstood and thought the male lead liked someone else. She thought she couldn't avoid the plot, but at least she could speak up and explain. But just as she stepped forward, the male lead looked at her with a wounded expression. “Have you no heart? Everyone else has figured it out. You're the only one who's blind.”
“…”
Who was she? Where was she?
How had a perfectly good romance novel been turned into a boys' love story by the male lead? Wasn't anyone going to do something?
And the heroine, your man has turned gay. Why are you still looking at him with stars in your eyes?
“You two have to be happy together. I'll always support you. Go for it!”
Her raised little fist was adorable, but all Chu Chenxi could say was, “Holy crap.”
As the male lead's face drew closer and closer, she stared in shock. Then she heard the man sigh with satisfaction.
“I've wanted to do this for a long time.”
You sleazy pervert...
