Meng Ling, who was originally a female character but now appears to be the Female Second Lead, felt a sense of relief. The jealousy radiating from Lin Yuanliang was almost palpable.
Lin Yuanliang thought the world had gone mad. The last time Lu Youyou asked him for Xu Lie's phone number was already outrageous, and now she was asking him to plead for Xu Lie? The overwhelming news, much of it accompanied by Xu Lie's photos, flooded their class chat group last night. Lin Yuanliang understood Xu Lie's identity as Bomber all too well; how could he possibly help with such a request? The difficulty seemed insurmountable.
Meng Ling, however, was quicker to grasp the situation. She realized that Lu Youyou had a significant crush on Xu Lie. Otherwise, there would be no reason for her to rush to their school for help, especially to seek Lin Yuanliang’s assistance.
In that moment, Meng Ling felt like she was balancing on a scale. On one side, she was angry at Lin Yuanliang for potentially liking another girl; on the other side, she was secretly relieved that his future partner had developed feelings for someone else. Torn between these conflicting emotions, Meng Ling decided to speak up for Lu Youyou: "So, will we actually plead for him?"
Lin Yuanliang instinctively agreed with Meng Ling. "Right? What Xu Lie did... there's no way we can plead for him."
Lu Youyou paused at their words. Being a student herself, she hadn’t thought this through deeply; in her urgency, she could only come up with such a simple idea. Now faced with their questions, she found it hard to respond. Could they really plead for Xu Lie after the three explosions he caused?
But Lu Youyou didn’t stay confused for long; her initial uncertainty quickly transformed into determination. "Maybe yes, maybe no," she said firmly. "But I know that if I don’t do something, I will regret it immensely. And doing nothing won’t change anything."
Her resolute words made Lin Yuanliang, who usually took longer to react, realize something was off. Lu Youyou's concern for Xu Lie had clearly surpassed the bounds of friendship. If the roles were reversed and Lu Youyou were the one in trouble, would he be this proactive? He wasn't sure. But if it were Meng Ling in trouble? He would undoubtedly follow Lu Youyou’s lead and seize any hope available.
So what did this mean for Lu Youyou and Xu Lie? Did she like him? The conclusion hit Lin Yuanliang like a bolt of lightning, leaving him in disbelief as he asked, "You like Xu Lie?!"
"Oh wow?! Lin Yuanliang, you finally figured it out?"
"That's right! Your future wife has run away!"
It’s a pity. I originally thought the screenwriter would arrange for Lin Yuanliang to remain oblivious until the very end of the show.
The atmosphere was as festive as a New Year celebration, and at the moment Lin Yuanliang discovered the truth, the intensity of emotions nearly blocked the camera.
Meng Ling was not surprised; after spending so much time together, she had long understood Lin Yuanliang's slow-witted nature.
Lu Youyou, on the other hand, was quite taken aback. She liked Xu Lie? Really? Or not?
What was she thinking at a time like this?
Lu Youyou shook her head vigorously, forcing down her other emotions and focusing on the matter at hand. “Can I ask for your help?”
“I’ve heard of a few cases of Free Love before, and I believe Xu Lie is not in the wrong. People’s marriages and relationships shouldn’t be solely determined by Gene Matching.”
Lin Yuanliang and Meng Ling exchanged guilty glances. They shared this very sentiment but were too afraid to voice it, hiding their mutual affection from everyone.
From a personal standpoint, Lin Yuanliang and Meng Ling inherently stood on Xu Lie and Lu Youyou's side.
