Song Lin wanted to ask why, but when he saw the longing look in Zhu Ying's eyes, he opened his mouth and in the end, still didn't ask.

Song Lin sighed and said to the system with a hint of sadness, "So the supporting male character is going to leave me, huh? Ugh~ After all, I've raised him for over a decade!"

System: ... This might be a good thing, as now you can go and stop the male lead and the female lead.

Song Lin thought for a moment, and indeed, that was the case.

"Is it Zhubing?"

Zhu Ying respectfully said, "Yes, Crown Prince."

"Uh... It's fine now, you can leave first."

"Yes."

Everything came so suddenly. The supporting male character said he was leaving and Song Lin said he needed to watch a bit of "Barbie Fairytopia" to calm down his emotions.

Then, Song Lin realized that even without a male lead by her side, she could still continue doing whatever she wanted without feeling out of place at all.

And then, Song Lin did not even wander for a few days before coming out for a mission.

[System]

The male lead and female lead will encounter each other at a certain restaurant. Mission: prevent their meeting. Reward: 200 gold coins. Failure will result in a punishment of a 3 centimeter shorter jj.

Song Lin: ... It's obvious that this is not a proper system.

System: How could that be? :)

System: Oh, this is really cruel for you. After all, you were already short, and now you're getting even shorter...tsk tsk.

Song Lin slammed the table: "Get lost!"

And so, under the authority of the system, Song Lin hurriedly went to a certain restaurant.

As soon as Song Lin stepped out of the door, he was stopped by the new maid, Zhu Ying.

"Where is the crown prince going?"

Song Lin nodded.

"Then please allow this servant to follow you!"

Song Lin looked at Zhu Ying's stubborn appearance and finally nodded. Having one more person for the task might make it easier to complete. After all, he really couldn't accept a three-centimeter punishment on his jj. With the nature of the system, it was absolutely reliable in delivering what it promised.

System: :)

Song Lin hurriedly arrived at a certain restaurant, his horse in a frenzy. He looked around in all directions, but when he didn't spot his target, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Ying asked, "Is the Crown Prince hungry?"

"Ah? Right..."

Song Lin poked the system at this moment, asking, "Where is the female lead? Where is the male lead?"

System: The male lead will prepare to come downstairs in thirty seconds, while the female lead will enter from outside in twenty seconds. The two will meet in thirty-two seconds.

When Song Lin heard this, he panicked! He quickly asked Zhu Ying to come closer and said to her, "Zhu Ying, I need a favor from you."

"Ah? Please speak, Your Highness." Zhu Ying didn't notice at all that Song Lin had just addressed her.

"Whenever you see a woman who looks better than most, go and stop her from coming here! Hurry, hurry!" After saying this, Song Lin pushed Zhu Ying out.

Zhu Ying looked puzzled, but still followed Song Lin's instructions and did as told.

Song Lin paid no attention to the eyes of others, standing confidently on the side, waiting for herself to meet the male lead.

He just wants to become friends with the male lead! Then, behind his back, he will say bad things about the female lead to tarnish her image!

Rongling noticed Songlin as soon as she descended from the upstairs. Songlin's delicate appearance was nothing like a human being but more like an angel fallen into the mortal realm. Perplexed, it was difficult to take one's eyes off her.

When Rong Ling came down from the podium, Song Lin also glanced at him. Song Lin couldn't help but praise the male lead. He truly lived up to being heaven's favored child, and he looked quite good too. However... it's just that he's not as good as our male second lead.

Song Lin looked at the male lead and revealed a seemingly harmless smile, saying, "May I invite you for a cup of tea?"

Rong Ling's face revealed an interesting expression and he said, "I am honored."

[System]

Preventing the main characters from meeting, the gold coins have already been deposited into their accounts.

System: Sigh...

Song Lin: Why do you still have such a regretful expression? Is that how much you miss my 3 centimeter shorty?

System: How could that be? Your father loves you so much. :)

Song Lin successfully invited the male lead and also successfully caught his attention.

Song Lin suddenly felt a little inflated. After all, the one in front of him was none other than the male lead! In modern times, he would definitely be a top-tier celebrity! It was a bit of a source of pride to be able to sit face-to-face with a celebrity and have tea.

The system suddenly felt the presence of someone peering at them, but... who cares? As long as the goal is achieved, it doesn't matter. After all, their mission is to separate the male and female leads and ensure happiness for the male supporting character.

So, as I was saying, the system really knows how to professionally troll teammates for a hundred years!

"I wonder how should I address you?" Rong Lingfen couldn't help but look at Song Lin and ask.

Then Song Lin gave Rong Lingfen a meaningful glance, causing Rong Lingfen to suddenly feel a bit embarrassed.

Song Lin: Can you tell me why the male lead is always so impulsive? He’s supposed to be someone who will accomplish great things! How can he be so hesitant and indecisive like this?

System: ... I think you have great potential for accomplishing big things. 🙂

Song Lin suddenly blushed coquettishly, saying, "Really? Oh, heehee, I feel the same way too. Hmm...but now that you mention it, I do have the impulse to do something big."

System: ... can't kill you no matter how I hold it in.

Song Lin: At most, I'll surprise you with a face full of sh*t. :)

System: Come on, let's hurt each other! After all, our system has protective measures! :)

Song Lin: ...

Song Lin and the system continued chatting while answering the male lead's question. "Hmm... My name is Wen Yu."

This is the martial arts skill that Song Lin has practiced for many years. He is able to multitask without anyone noticing. Song Lin has put in a lot of effort in dealing with the supporting male character. Well, it's because the supporting male character is so difficult to please. Just zoning out in front of him for a moment will cause your favorability to drop by one or two points in an instant!

Song Lin: Totally, why do I suddenly feel like the supporting male character's experience is more similar to the male lead?

System: ... Who decided that the antagonist must always be cool and badass since childhood?

Song Lin: :)

The male lead chuckled softly and said, "Could it be that you are the heir of the Wen Wang Mansion?"

Wen Yu nodded.

"That really lives up to its reputation. Seeing it with one's own eyes is much better than hearing about it a hundred times."

Wen Yu has basically never ventured outside, so he was quite surprised to meet the male protagonist.

The two of them then chatted extensively, feeling a sense of regret for not meeting earlier. It wasn't until Zhuying came to visit that they bid each other farewell.

Rong Lingfen did not ask Song Lin why he suddenly invited him to have tea, but he also did not believe that Song Lin was trying to win him over.

On the contrary, there was a feeling that Song Lin had no clue about his identity at all.

Returning to the residence, Song Lin sensed something off about Zhu Ying and asked, "Zhu Ying, are you feeling unwell?"

Zhu Ying shook her head and said that she was fine, so as not to worry Song Lin.

System: She's been poisoned.

Song Lin was startled and exclaimed, "You've been poisoned?!"

Zhu Ying's face turned pale, knowing that she couldn't hide it anymore, she nodded and admitted it.

Song Lin was starting to panic and quickly prodded the system: "Is there any antidote? Hurry up and give it to me!"

System: Don't worry, someone will deliver the medicine soon.

Sure, here's the translation of the paragraph: "As expected, just after the system finished speaking, a guard approached respectfully and handed the medicine to Song Lin."

Without thinking twice, Song Lin directly fed the medicine to Zhu Ying's mouth. After all, it was medicine that had been guaranteed by the system, so Song Lin felt very reassured.

System: I'm glad you trust Daddy so much. :）

Song Lin: ... Hehe.

The medicine brought by the guards was indeed effective. The pain on Zhu Ying's body had been alleviated, so Song Lin hurriedly asked her to go back and take a good rest. Zhu Ying did not refuse.

After Zhu Ying left, Song Lin finally remembered to ask the system: Why did Zhu Ying, who was perfectly fine, get poisoned?
