Chapter 2

Those words hit me like a bolt of lightning.

What did he mean by that?

The comments were just as confused:

【That sounds almost... flirty?】

【The male lead is polite, so he can't directly call out the supporting character's rude behavior. He can only remind her indirectly not to peep anymore!】

【Damn, those pecs, those abs, that... he's clearly got serious stamina! No wonder the supporting character was watching. I wouldn't be able to resist either!】

【As expected of a cultured and graceful male lead—he's a perfect match for our gentle and kind female lead!】

So that was it.

He seemed like a pretty decent guy, actually.

I couldn't help but feel some gratitude toward the man in front of me.

If I put myself in his shoes—if some creep had been secretly watching me for two weeks straight, I'd definitely call the cops.

But he just came over to gently remind me. He'd already given me plenty of dignity.

As I was mulling this over, Ethan suddenly introduced himself: "Hi, I'm Ethan. I'm from the capital. I own dozens of properties and have liquid assets in the hundreds of millions. I'm twenty-five this year, but I've been working out consistently. I'm in great health, and my parents have a harmonious relationship..."

Me: ?

【The male lead is showing off his wealth to make the supporting character back off.】

【Male lead: This is a simple warning. Next time won't be so easy.】

Me: !

I immediately bowed ninety degrees to him and apologized sincerely: "I'm so sorry, Mr. Ethan. I know my behavior caused you distress. It was wrong of me. I promise I'll never watch you again!"

Ethan: ?

The aggrieved expression on his face suddenly froze, and his tone turned a bit flustered: "No, that's not what I meant..."

I understood completely.

He still didn't want to call me out directly because he was afraid of hurting my self-esteem.

What a good person!

I felt even more guilty and apologized repeatedly.

【Wait, why isn't the supporting character following the script?】

【Admitting mistakes and changing behavior makes her a good girl. I hereby declare I won't curse at the supporting character anymore.】

【Who knows if the supporting character is just pretending to lower the male lead's guard so she can peep more effectively later?】

Heaven and earth could bear witness—I truly knew I was wrong and would absolutely never watch again.

Falling from the tenth floor—how much would that hurt?

I shivered, my face turning pale.

But Ethan lowered his head, his ears turning completely red: "I just wanted to ask... do you girls like my body type?"

Hearing this, I discreetly scanned him from head to toe and quietly swallowed.

Damn, the black compression shirt was even pilling.

His pecs were so full they were about to burst through the fabric. If I accidentally bumped into them, I wondered how good it would feel...

The comments promptly interrupted my fantasy:

【The male lead hit a wall pursuing the female lead and doubts his own charm, so he's trying to figure out what the female lead likes.】

【He's too embarrassed to ask the female lead directly, so he's asking the supporting character instead.】

I got it again.

So he was trying to find out what the female lead liked.

I was almost shipping them myself.

To make up for my mistake, I decided to help them out: "Don't worry, you have a great body. No one wouldn't like it."

The female lead and male lead were made for each other—how could the female lead not like him?

The corners of Ethan's mouth instantly lifted high.

I quickly added: "You can rest completely assured—I'll never watch you again. If I do, I'll... I'll never get rich my whole life!"

After making this vow, I didn't wait to see Ethan's expression.

I went straight inside and closed the door.
