Chapter 18: Pretending to Be My Boyfriend? Leaving the Male Lead No Way Out …

“I want you to be my boyfriend for seven days,” Lu Ziyan said calmly, the first step in her love seduction plan being to secure a date with Lin Tai.

“Impossible! Want me to apologize to Ye Bai? Dream on!” Lin Tai was ready to improvise his acting skills. Asking him to apologize to Ye Bai was out of the question …

“Wait, what did you say?” His rehearsed lines got stuck in his throat.

He must’ve misheard. What did Lu Ziyan just say? Be her boyfriend for seven days? What the hell? He didn’t get it at all! Could someone explain what she meant?

“I said, I want you to be my boyfriend for seven days,” Lu Ziyan repeated, her face tinged with a blush. Though it was part of her plan, saying it again still embarrassed her.

In her past life and now, she’d never truly dated, her only love being unrequited for Lin Tai.

Even with mental preparation, she felt shy.

“Besides, why would I make you apologize to Ye Bai? I barely know him,” Lu Ziyan’s feelings toward Ye Bai had long shifted from mild admiration to hatred.

It was him! Who caused her to hurt Lin Tai repeatedly.

It was him! Who left her life filled with regret.

It was him! Who killed the boy she loved most!

Lu Ziyan wished she could cut Ye Bai into a thousand pieces—how could she help him? Let alone make her beloved boy apologize to that despicable wretch!

“You … don’t know him?” Lin Tai was floored. Had a heroine ever told a vicious supporting male character she didn’t know the male lead?

This heroine must be crazy! Not liking the male lead and constantly harassing a minor character like him? What kind of days were these?

“Didn’t you admire Ye Bai?” Lin Tai reconsidered, sensing something off with Lu Ziyan.

If she didn’t like Ye Bai, why bother filming him at the Longteng Hotel? That thought clicked—could Lu Ziyan be setting a trap? But what did she want from him?

Unable to figure it out, Lin Tai decided to play along and observe.

“Who told you I admired him? Admire Ye Bai? Last time, I only held back from stabbing him in front of Lin Tai to keep up appearances,” Lu Ziyan scoffed.

“Then I can’t be your boyfriend. My heart belongs to Shihan—I won’t betray her!”

Lin Tai didn’t care what Lu Ziyan was planning. He’d just roll with it.

“Careful—I said ‘pretend’ to be my boyfriend for seven days, not be my boyfriend outright,” Lu Ziyan clarified. Winning Lin Tai’s love now was unlikely; he was too smitten with Xia Shihan.

She planned to use the next seven days to make him fall for her.

Then they’d be a destined couple. Her priority was lowering his guard.

“I’m shooting a youth idol drama next. As a director with no dating experience, I’m worried I can’t guide the actors properly, so I need you to pretend to be my boyfriend for seven days,” Lu Ziyan had prepared this excuse.

“Pretend to be your boyfriend?” Hiss~ Wasn’t that the classic male lead-female lead romance trope?

Supposedly pretend, but it often turned real.

Wait, if you’re pretending, go find the male lead Ye Bai! Why me, a vicious supporting character?

And wasn’t her next film a business epic? Since when was it a youth idol drama? Are you mocking me for not reading the script?

This heroine’s logic was broken!

Lin Tai retracted all the praise he’d given Lu Ziyan today. She was sicker than Xia Shihan, Xiao Yuxuan, and Hecate combined!

At least they had motives like gifts or missions to approach him. But Lu Ziyan? Pretending to be her boyfriend? Making a villain like him steal the male lead’s spotlight—what about Ye Bai?

Taking the male lead’s path and leaving him no way out?

Lin Tai firmly refused! Did all artistic girls have this quirk?

“I’ll never betray Shihan!” Stealing the male lead’s role was out of the question. He’d stick to his vicious supporting character duties.

Unexpectedly, his devoted simp persona could serve as a shield—and it worked like a charm.

“Then aren’t you afraid I’ll send the video to Xia Shihan?” Lu Ziyan raised an eyebrow. “You know her personality. Seeing this, she’ll hate you more, killing any hope you have.”

“One day!” Lin Tai tried to refuse, but Lu Ziyan brought up Xia Shihan.

His simp persona was a double-edged sword. Refusing now would collapse his character.

“Seven days—no bargaining!” Lu Ziyan sighed inwardly. Xia Shihan’s name still carried more weight than hers.

No matter—after seven days, Lin Tai would love her.

Then Xia Shihan would be nothing!

“You …” Lin Tai was on the verge of breaking down. The plot was a mess again.

These heroines were too troublesome! Being a vicious supporting male character was tough!

“Your silence means agreement. From now, you’re my pretend boyfriend,” Lu Ziyan stood and sat beside him. Finally … she could touch Lin Tai’s face!

“Just talk—don’t get handsy,” Lin Tai leaned back, needing to rethink this plot!

“I’m exercising my rights as your girlfriend!”

“Outrageous!” As Lu Ziyan’s hand neared his face, a roar erupted from the Lu family’s front gate.
