His Flower Language - Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Just then, the second male lead looked away, lifted his coffee cup, and took a sip.

Every movement was refined and noble, his bearing cool and elegant.

…Had I imagined that voice?

I looked away too and continued waiting for Le Chun.

Le Chun was the real daughter the family had only recently found. I was the so-called fake one.

Le Chun had only just entered the entertainment industry. She had no real resources and was still a total nobody.

She was probably the heroine, and I was probably the supporting character.

I didn’t care much either way.

That voice appeared again: [The next plot point is the supporting female character nitpicking at the heroine and mocking Le Chun for being a washed-up nobody who isn’t worthy of Yan Yi.]

Yan Yi was my fiancé.

Because he didn’t want to inherit the family business, nor did he want to marry me, he had rebelled by entering the entertainment industry.

He had no real talent. Purely relying on his face and his persona as someone who dared to tell the truth, he had somehow managed to become a top-tier celebrity.

But now that I wasn’t the Le Family’s biological child, this engagement probably wouldn’t count anymore.

[Based on predictions, she will throw the coffee beside her onto Le Chun,] the System speculated.

Me: “…”

Who, me?

After thinking about it, I picked up the coffee beside me and drained it in one go.

…It was so bitter my whole face twisted.

The second male lead suddenly let out a soft laugh.

[There are two plans available for you here. The System estimates that Plan One will provide a higher favorability boost.]

[First… Are you even listening to me?]

The second male lead’s expression remained calm.

I had no idea what he replied, but the voice started roaring again: [What do you mean, “She’s so cute, especially when her face scrunches up”? Who asked you that?]

I kind of wanted to change seats.

Le Chun arrived right then.

When she saw me, she looked a little embarrassed.

“Hello, Sister.”

She seemed rather uneasy.

I smiled and wanted to take a sip of coffee, only to realize my cup was empty.

So I went through the motions of drinking coffee anyway.

The second male lead laughed softly again.

The next second, the System agreed aloud: [She really is cute, heroine.]

[Huh? Weren’t you talking about the heroine?]

[Get lost! If you say creepy nonsense like “the supporting female character is so cute, so cute” again, I’m done with you!]

That System was way too noisy.

[I’m sincerely warning you! Only this supporting female character’s profile has a bright red S marked beside it! She really is dangerous!]

I gathered my thoughts and said to Le Chun again, “I’ll move out of the Le Family in a few days. That love was always supposed to belong to you, so you don’t need to feel sorry for me.”

She held her warm coffee in both hands, her clear, innocent eyes open wide. She looked very obedient.

“Actually, you don’t have to move out…”

The System suddenly reminded him: [Host, prepare yourself. Le Chun’s next words will hit the supporting female character’s sore spot. The supporting female character will throw coffee… Uh, she will grab the coffee from the next table and throw it on her.]

Even I got a little nervous.

But what exactly was my sore spot?

“If you stay, I’ll be very happy too. Also…”

She clumsily tried to persuade me to stay. “My feelings for Teacher Yan Yi aren’t like that… Your engagement still counts…”

I fell silent.

Before I could react, someone suddenly rushed up from the side.

She snatched up my empty cup and was about to hurl it at Le Chun.

“You’re not worthy of our Brother Yan at all! What are you so smug about? You think Brother Yan would ever like you?”

Maybe because I’d heard the System’s voice, I was especially on guard against every movement around me.

The girl didn’t succeed. I grabbed her wrist in time.

In the end, that cup accidentally struck the head of the person at the next table who had just been preparing to save the damsel in distress-the second male lead.
