The Cold and Ruthless Supporting Male Lead

A blush appeared on his face, a hint of a young girl’s red hue. Zhang Daniu seemed like a shy young girl, but when he reached the edge of the greenhouse, he still extended his hand and tightened his hold around Lin Xiaomu’s waist.

“Ah~” Lin Xiaomu let out a soft gasp, and before she could react, she was already pulled into the greenhouse.

Zhang Daniu lowered his body and planted a kiss on her lips, his face tinged with a hint of red. However, the kiss left Lin Xiaomu feeling completely intoxicated.

She had once fantasized countless times about the Prince kissing her, but she never expected it to happen in this place.

Her cheeks flushed with warmth. After her mind had been stunned for a while, Lin Xiaomu softly said, “Don’t worry, we’ll definitely live a life full of good food and happiness.”

Her heart raced, completely immersed in her own girlish thoughts.

Zhang Daniu smiled gently and bit her pink lips. His voice was cautious, testing, “Xiaomu, doesn’t the boss like you?”

“I’ve already rejected him. He said he wouldn’t get involved in our matters. Let’s go back quickly.” This greenhouse was completely closed off from the outside, and Lin Xiaomu, though passionate, was still a conservative person at heart. She didn’t dare to engage in such acts in the open.

Zhang Daniu wanted to say something, but sensing Lin Xiaomu’s rejection, he could only give up for the time being.

Once they returned to their place, Zhang Daniu couldn’t wait to pull Lin Xiaomu into his embrace. Despite his youthful demeanor, Zhang Daniu was still a man at his core.

He held Lin Xiaomu tightly and lifted her onto the bed. “Xiaomu, I have a great idea. Do you want to hear it?”

“Hmm?” Completely overwhelmed by love, Lin Xiaomu’s face was flushed. She still hadn’t come back to her senses from the thoughts of being held by the Prince.

A hint of malice flashed in Zhang Daniu’s eyes. But in order to ensure the plan’s feasibility, he still coaxed and sweet-talked Lin Xiaomu as they spent the entire night together in bed.

The farm operated on a shift system, and Zhang Daniu’s shift conveniently matched their rest period.

When Lin Xiaomu sat up on the bed, her limbs still weak and aching, her mind was still a mess. However, the Prince’s reckless behavior last night had made her too shy to face him.

In her past life, she had never experienced such feelings before her death. Now, this kind of passion was like poison, drawing her in uncontrollably. Last night, both she and the Prince had acted as if they were out of their minds.

Her cheeks burned, and Lin Xiaomu shyly pulled the blanket over herself.

As she opened the door, bright light flooded in. Zhang Daniu walked toward her through the backlight and, upon closing the door, Lin Xiaomu finally saw that he was holding something to eat.

With the same gentle, refined smile, Zhang Daniu sat beside Lin Xiaomu on the bed and carefully helped her sit up as if she were a precious treasure.

“Xiaomu, I’m sorry. I was too reckless yesterday… Are you feeling okay now?”

Lin Xiaomu blushed even more, lightly punching his chest, “You’re so mean~ You knew it was my first time, and still treated me like that…”

****

“Ugh—” Hai Ku’s face turned pale as he vomited all the milk he drank that morning.

Originally, he had opened the system’s screen to see how the plot would change after the twist. However, this domineering CEO-style banter early in the morning was too much for Hai Ku to handle.

Feeling that the male lead in the story was useless, Hai Ku had been keeping an eye on things. Last night, he had seen the man’s sneaky behavior as he observed his farm.

Originally, Hai Ku had thought he would hear some useful news in the morning, but instead of useful information, the scene that unfolded made him feel disgusted.

He patted his chest and took a moment to calm himself, waiting until the flirtatious banter passed before reopening the system’s screen.

By then, Zhang Daniu had already helped Lin Xiaomu sit up. The two of them gazed at each other lovingly for a while, before Zhang Daniu, with a shy expression, said, “Xiaomu, if only we had the boss’s farm…”

“Huh?” Completely immersed in the world of love, Lin Xiaomu was still in a dazed state. “Aren’t we doing fine now? As long as we keep working hard, we’ll succeed.”

Zhang Daniu was taken aback, thinking she hadn’t understood his meaning at all.

He pursed his lips and kissed Lin Xiaomu again. “What I mean is, what if the boss gives us this farm? What do you think?”

Lin Xiaomu suddenly snapped out of her daze.

Furrowing her brow, she was a little uncertain. “You mean…”

“The boss likes you, right? You just need to ask him where the deed and the seal are…” Zhang Daniu’s expression grew more shy, and he seemed to casually mention this idea, his face showing no trace of greed.

Lin Xiaomu’s heart skipped a beat, and her hands began to tremble. “It’s not that simple…”

After crossing into this world, Lin Xiaomu had realized that many things here were completely different from her previous world.

“This farm is so remote, and the boss likes you, so I think getting this farm is really a simple matter.” With a bashful smile, Zhang Daniu gently kissed Lin Xiaomu’s lips. “Now that we’re in this kind of relationship, I trust you completely…”

“You mean I should get close to the boss?”

“My clever little one,” Zhang Daniu smiled even more gently, but his words made Lin Xiaomu feel uneasy. “Just like the favored concubines of ancient emperors, they’re always smart… As long as everyone on the farm sees how close the two of you are, the boss will generously give the farm to you, and no one will think it’s strange…”

Lin Xiaomu’s face turned pale, and she looked hesitant. “But… but I’ve already rejected the boss…”

Lin Xiaomu felt that Zhang Daniu was starting to resemble the Prince more and more.

Before she had died, the Prince had used methods to secure the crown prince position for himself.

For a man with such presence, Lin Xiaomu could only feel infatuation and jealousy towards the women around him.

But now, this kind of man was completely hers.

Seeing the infatuation on her face, Zhang Daniu’s expression shifted to one of grievance. Like a child, he nuzzled against Lin Xiaomu. “You don’t understand. When a man says he’s giving up, it doesn’t necessarily mean he’s really giving up.”

“Really, really?” Lin Xiaomu’s resolve wavered.

“Tsk tsk tsk…” Hai Ku had seen enough by this point and closed the screen.

Although the original plot had many flaws, the scenes he was seeing now were completely insulting to his intelligence.

In the story, Hai Ku didn’t know how the farm ended up in the female lead’s hands, since the author hadn’t provided a detailed explanation.

But after truly crossing into this world, Hai Ku discovered many things that weren’t described in the plot.

Although this was an important discovery, Hai Ku didn’t feel the slightest bit of joy.

It was clearly a modern farming novel, yet Hai Ku felt like he was becoming a high-ranking official about to be bribed, with Zhang Daniu planning to use the beauty trap on him.

Lying comfortably in the lounge chair, Hai Ku wore a weary expression like an old farmer, feeling that the male lead had really underestimated him.

However, after lying down, Hai Ku also felt that this book seemed to have some differences from others.

Having browsed countless online novels, Hai Ku had developed a certain understanding of their categories. For a female lead who died in the ancient world and crossed into the modern world, the title should be about “ancient to modern.” Why, then, was this one labeled as “rebirth”?

He had tossed it aside after reading it once and hadn’t paid attention to this issue, but now, after carefully reviewing the plot, Hai Ku felt that there were still some mysteries left unresolved.

The plot from the original story existed in his system space, but now it had deviated. In fact, the original text no longer had much reference value.

What Hai Ku was more interested in now was how the female lead, who had the farming “golden finger,” would go about seducing him, the big boss.

Compared to the female leads from other worlds, the aura of the female lead in this world was the weakest. Aside from her ability to foster plants and animals, she didn’t seem to have much else going for her.

After sorting out some mysteries from the original story, Hai Ku tossed it aside.

He then stood up from the lounge chair. After all, he was the big boss of this farm, and he had chosen this farming novel to enjoy it.

Stretching lazily, Hai Ku grabbed a large hoe and went out to the field.

It was his farm, after all; He had to hoe the land a few times.

***

With the basic aura all female leads had; encountering male supporting characters wherever they went, Lin Xiaomu, who had been encouraged by Zhang Daniu, saw Hai Ku sweating in the field when she came out.

“Boss, what are you doing?” Lin Xiaomu was surprised. She hadn’t expected the big boss to personally work in the field.

Hai Ku thought for a moment, realizing he couldn’t immediately expose the female lead’s scheme. Smiling hypocritically, he put on an air of pretense and randomly hoed the ground a few times, saying, “Ho-ing the rice field, when the sun is at noon, sweat drops from the rice into the soil, who knows the rice in the bowl, every grain is hard-earned!”

“Boss, I didn’t expect you to be able to recite poetry…” Lin Xiaomu was even more surprised. She felt she had underestimated the boss at the beginning.

“Oh, no, it’s someone else’s poem. I just recited it,” Hai Ku quickly added. He hadn’t sunk so low as to claim someone else’s poem as his own. Throwing the hoe aside, he wiped his sweat. “I just wanted to get some exercise. After all, a man can’t have poor stamina. I think I’m already fit enough now. Xiaomu, please take the hoe back to the warehouse for me.”

Lin Xiaomu: “…”

She had planned to say something, but Hai Ku had already left, leaving Lin Xiaomu behind, wanting to say something but holding back.

“Hurry up and take it back to the warehouse, or I’ll deduct your wages.” As she was about to catch up, Hai Ku had to put on the boss’s air, forcing Lin Xiaomu to stand still, holding the hoe, looking like she wanted to catch up but didn’t dare.
