Leap Forward Comics: Watch How I Become a Villainess

Chapter 218: There are actually CP fans!

"Sister, you and brother-in-law... no, sister-in-law... no... sister-in-law..."

"Just call me Han Xi, don't bother with all that fancy stuff." Lu He found it amusing that Lin Zhao was racking his brains trying to come up with a proper address.

"Han...Han Xi," Lin Zhao scratched his head sheepishly, "I didn't understand you two before...I didn't know you liked each other...although you're a bit perverted in that area..."

"Hey you little brat, who are you calling a pervert? That's a misunderstanding!" Lu He stood up, clicked his tongue, but didn't know how to explain Han Xi's bullying of Lin Yingxin.

It's impossible to say that she isn't Han Xi now, or that Lin Yingxin isn't Lin Zhao's sister now... This really stumped me.

"Fine, fine, think what you want..." Lu He couldn't explain, so she sat down sullenly.

Xia Lan couldn't help but laugh out loud at the two people's comical appearance.

"Sister, you're smiling~" Lin Zhao became happy as she saw Xia Lan smiling gently at her, her eyelashes fluttering.

Oh my, that look in his eyes was practically devouring Xia Lan! Lu He quickly interrupted Lin Zhao's starry-eyed gaze: "Lin Zhao, why are you targeting us, especially me? I need an explanation from you."

Lin Zhao then came to her senses and looked at Lu He again: "Oh, it's because your stepmother, Madam Han, called me back. She said my sister had an accident here and told me to come back quickly to save her..."

They immediately betrayed the mastermind behind the scenes.

As expected of a stepmother, really... Lu He frowned. It's true what they say, if you don't show your power, you'll take advantage of me.

"Shouldn't we retaliate?" Xia Lan asked, her gaze seeking confirmation as she turned from Lin Zhao to Lu He.

“Of course, after all, we need to follow a side quest and investigate the cause of my biological mother’s death.” Lu He nodded.

"Huh? What side quest?" Lin Zhao was completely confused.

Xia Lan looked at Lu He questioningly again, and Lu He understood her meaning and nodded.

So Xia Lan solemnly put her hand on Lin Zhao's shoulder: "Lin Zhao, you said you want me to trust you, so can I trust you?"

"Absolutely!" Lin Zhao sat up straight excitedly, practically ready to pledge his commitment.

"It's like this, Han Xi's biological mother may have been killed by her current stepmother, so we've been secretly investigating..." Xia Lan explained slowly.

"I get it! Your discord is all an act for Madam Han, to lower her guard so you can investigate her, right?" Lin Zhao blurted out, feeling incredibly clever.

"Uh... forget about what happened before, and listen to your sister!" Lu He complained to Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao shrank back, cautiously asking, "Forget... which part..."

"Pfft!" Lu He was drinking tea when she almost spat it out. This little brat was definitely doing it on purpose!

Lin Zhao, having succeeded, revealed a sly smile.

"Okay, stop messing around. You just said I could trust you..." Xia Lan quickly stopped Lin Zhao, the little devil, before Lu He could get angry.

"Okay, I'm sorry, sister~" Lin Zhao smiled knowingly, she really couldn't forget that scene just now~

“You’re just a child, and all you can think about are these scenes of beautiful women. That’s not right…” Lu He couldn’t help but lecture him again.

"You two... you've already done that..." Lin Zhao's eyes widened, her expression incredulous and righteous. "And you're talking to me like that? You're only a year older than me, and I was just thinking about it, so what!"

"We..." Lu He wanted to say that he was more than ten years older than Lu He! But he couldn't bring himself to say it; traveling was really troublesome.

Although children these days know too much, it's not encouraged or taught. Lu He, having been rebuffed, remained silent and went to the side, shutting up completely.

Xia Lan spoke earnestly, taking Lin Zhao's hand: "Good sister, listen to me, forget those things and don't think about them. I'm doing this for your own good, and right now the most important thing is to take care of Han Xi's family."

After being persuaded with reason and emotion, Lin Zhao immediately nodded and indicated that he would obey Xia Lan's orders.

Looks like she's a complete brainless sister-obsessed person.

After talking to Lin Zhao for a while, Xia Lan skillfully reached out and gently tugged at Lu He's sleeve: "Baby~ Don't be angry~ Lin Zhao will help us~"

Seeing her sister acting so coquettishly, Lin Zhao knew in her heart that her sister really loved Han Xi very much, so she had to help Han Xi no matter what.

So she stood up and, imitating Xia Lan, spoke softly: "Sister Han Xi~ just tell me, if there's anything you need me for, I'll do my utmost!"

The gentle little clip gave Lu He goosebumps. It was good tea, but it sounded nice too.

"I hereby declare that I am now a fan of your CP (couple pairing)!" Lin Zhao excitedly announced. The two of them were gazing at each other with affection, exchanging loving glances—they looked incredibly sweet together!
