Snatching Women from the Male Lead

The livestream comments section froze...

Everyone was watching Qin Zhao, hoping she and the speechless An Hongyu and others would also see the big fish emerging from the water!

His expression immediately darkened, hovering at the edge of black.

Considering the audience of the livestream, he could only endure!

How could that woman catch a big fish after his own unsuccessful fishing attempt earlier? Wasn't that a slap in his face?

An Hongyu secretly vowed to find an opportunity to punish that arrogant woman who didn't know the height of the heavens or the depths of the earth!

Qin Zhao threw the fish onto the shore. It flopped violently, splashing water all over her pant legs.

She went over, picked it up, and removed the hook.

Then she stabbed the fin with a dagger until it stopped moving, before taking it to the riverside to clean it thoroughly.

After dealing with the fish, she gathered some dry firewood and brought it back.

With no fire-starting tools on her, she could only use the primitive hand drill method.

Luckily it was June, and the weather was hot, so sparks should be produced quickly.

However, Qin Zhao had thought too simply. Although June was hot, there was still ample moisture in the air.

She spun the drill three times until her palms turned red, but there was only blackening inside the hollowed wood, without any signs of ignition.

She thought about giving up for the moment and eating some slices of raw fish first.

Just as Qin Zhao was about to put down the fire stick, a hand as white as jade suddenly reached out to her, holding a piece of flint.

At the same time, a voice as beautiful as a red-billed blue magpie rang out, "Please use this."

Qin Zhao looked up to see a woman of at least 180 cm looking down at her with a smile!

The woman was extremely beautiful, with a slender figure. Even the loose outdoor clothing covering her couldn't obscure her curves.

Without asking, Qin Zhao knew the woman before her was the female lead, Sheng Xi!

She took the flint and said, "Thank you."

Sheng Xi nodded and sat down next to Qin Zhao, watching her start the fire.

The small fire was soon ablaze. Qin Zhao returned the flint to Sheng Xi.

Seeing Sheng Xi like this, Qin Zhao guessed she had something to say, so she waited quietly.

But the fish finished roasting and Sheng Xi was still silent.

Qin Zhao divided the roasted fish in half and offered some to Sheng Xi.

Sheng Xi shook her head. "I've eaten."

Qin Zhao wondered, "Then why are you sitting here? Isn't it to mooch food?"

Hearing this, Sheng Xi flushed and said, "How can you make such an assumption about me?"

Qin Zhao said, "Because the longing in your eyes is too obvious. If it's not longing for this grilled fish, could it be...longing for me?"

These were nonsense words fabricated by Qin Zhao. Who would have thought Sheng Xi would actually give an affirmative answer: "Yes, I long for you."

Now it was Qin Zhao's turn to blush...

On the other side, it was the first time the audience members who had made flirtatious remarks about Sheng Xi exploded!

Because Sheng Xi had moved closer to Qin Zhao, their livestream images overlapped, forcing Sheng Xi’s fans to also watch Qin Zhao.

Comments about the two were intertwined.

"Ahhh Sister Sheng is so flirty! I love her so much!"

"Sheng Xi, you're so coquettish! But...I really like it!"

"I thought Sheng Xi together in frame with Qin Zhao, her beauty would definitely overwhelm Qin Zhao.

But looking now, I find that Qin Zhao's face seems to be underestimated!"

"That's not the case. No one ever said Qin Zhao was ugly. She just didn't make it big purely because of her lifestyle issues.

Capital would never promote a small internet celebrity who could have a scandal at any time."

"They're both so beautiful, they have such an aura, can I ship them?"

"The above, shipping anything will only harm you!

Go steal my big star, small internet celebs stay away!"

"The above, I'll say it here, I'm gonna ship them! Shipping anything will only make me nutritionally balanced!"

...

The Star Networks commentary was lively and chaotic while Qin Zhao and Sheng Xi were awkward with each other.

Qin Zhao stammered, "Do you hear what you're saying? Saying you long for the first person you speak to is asking to be arrested!"

Sheng Xi was also very flustered inwardly. She had thought Qin Zhao would like her slightly flirtatious way of talking, so she had pretended to be calm while replying.

Seeing Qin Zhao’s reaction, Sheng Xi immediately dropped the act with a sigh, "I thought you liked this kind of conversation. Turns out it was just superficial."

Inwardly Qin Zhao thought, you're pretty good to know to cater to me.

She said, "Then tell me, why exactly are you sitting next to me?"

Sheng Xi glanced in An Hongyu and the others' direction and said, "I don't know why, but recently they seem to have some resentment towards me.

So I thought, for the sake of everyone and myself, I should withdraw from the team and rely on my own survival skills to live alone.

But I saw you, you and I have similar experiences, so we should be able to get along harmoniously."

Qin Zhao was a little surprised that Sheng Xi had frankly told her about her plight.

Since this was the case, why shouldn't she also be upfront?

Qin Zhao said, "They isolate you because An Hongyu is manipulating things behind the scenes.

All just to put you in an awkward situation."

Sheng Xi seemed a little doubtful. "An Hongyu is very good to me. The behavior of the others shouldn't be blamed on him."

Qin Zhao bit off a piece of fish, chewed and swallowed it, then said, "If you want to find out the truth, then go verify it, confront him yourself.

After you've come to a conclusion, then I'll ally with you."

Sheng Xi stood up. "If you're not willing to be partners with me, I won't force you either. An Hongyu shouldn't be a necessary condition for you and me."

Qin Zhao replied calmly, "As you wish."

Qin Zhao was not flustered at all because she knew that once the seeds of doubt were planted, Sheng Xi would keep scrutinizing An Hongyu's behavior.

She would figure it out sooner or later.

And the opportunity for her to verify whether Qin Zhao's words were true would come soon.

An Hongyu, who was keeping a close eye on Sheng Xi's movements at all times, discovered that she was getting close to Qin Zhao and immediately guessed that she wanted to form a team with Qin Zhao.

An Hongyu would not allow such a thing to happen, because once Sheng Xi found a partner, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

A sense of crisis arose in his heart as he secretly thought that he must find an opportunity to undermine their relationship!

In the evening, An Hongyu tried asking Sheng Xi out again.

He held a bouquet of wildflowers in his hand. "This is for you."

Sheng Xi did not accept them.

An Hongyu casually retracted his hand as if nothing had happened, and said, "Can I have a few minutes of your time? I have a lot to talk to you about."

Surprisingly, Sheng Xi did not refuse him this time. "Go ahead."

She wanted to verify if Qin Zhao's words were true.

An Hongyu was overjoyed. He said, "The main reason why people in my team exclude you is because they are jealous of your talent and accomplishments.

If you don't like being with them, just stay by my side from now on.

Let me protect you!"

"You’re too kind.”

An Hongyu laughed. "It's what we men should do, to take care of big beauties like you."

His remarks made Sheng Xi feel disgusted.

What did big beauties have to do with him?

"I heard Qin Zhao say everyone isolates me, it was entirely staged by you. Do you think she was slandering you?"

An Hongyu's brow furrowed slightly as he denied it, "That is pure fiction.

Besides, Qin Zhao has always been an outsider. How could she possibly know the content of our guys' conversations? She's talking nonsense.

In my opinion, Qin Zhao is just jealous that I am taking care of you!"
