I Deduce the Female Lead Likes Me [Transmigration into a book]

Kou Shuang didn’t know if Lu Renjia was good or bad.

But she could be sure that Lu Renjia was interested in her.

For an old aunt like Kou Shuang, it wasn’t difficult to draw this conclusion. Even though she had never been in a relationship, hormones were hormones.

After the party started, Lu Renjia took Kou Shuang to the best seat, claiming it was a “makeup artist’s benefit.” He stayed by Kou
Shuang’s side throughout the entire party, chatting with her with witty and humorous language, but his flattering intentions couldn’t be hidden. Occasionally, when the stage manager came to find him, he would leave briefly, and then he would come back smiling and sit beside Kou Shuang, continuing their previous conversation as if nothing had happened.

Kou Shuang could see it, but she didn’t say anything, just responding perfunctorily.

Because of Lu Renjia’s flirting, Kou Shuang didn’t enjoy the fun of the party, and she didn’t even watch it carefully.

Only occasionally, after thunderous applause, she would look up at the stage and always see Song Muxue in a red dress, gracefully announcing on stage.

She couldn’t help but think: Song Muxue is so beautiful. She had only appeared for less than half an hour, but she had captured everyone’s attention like a female lead. Oh, she was the female lead.

Lu Renjia noticed Kou Shuang’s gaze and glanced at Song Muxue too. He said, “I saw a sentence on Weibo a few days ago, and now I finally know what it means.”

“What is it?”

“A beautiful girl’s friend must also be beautiful.” Lu Renjia smiled and said, “Ordinary girls can’t be friends with Song Muxue. You’re the first.”

Kou Shuang was a little puzzled and turned to look at Lu Renjia, saying, “What’s wrong with Song Muxue? Is she not popular?”

She thought Song Muxue should be very popular.

Lu Renjia smiled and changed the subject, “After the party, we have a private celebration. Do you want to come?”

Kou Shuang hesitated, trying to figure out how to decline, but then she heard Lu Renjia say, “I’ve also invited Song Muxue.”

For some reason, Kou Shuang agreed without thinking, “Okay.”

••••

After the party, Kou Shuang went backstage to wait for Song Muxue. She didn’t know where her dormitory was and had to ask Song Muxue to take her there after the celebration.

But when Lu Renjia mentioned the celebration, Song Muxue was surprised and said, “When we were taking attendance in the group, I said I wouldn’t go.”

Lu Renjia looked at Kou Shuang cautiously and said, “Since Kou Shuang is going, you can just come along as a friend! Don’t worry about the budget, I’ll treat the two of you to dinner, just as an opportunity for me.”

Kou Shuang looked at Lu Renjia in surprise and realized what he meant.

But Lu Renjia said to her, “When I asked you to help with the makeup, I said I would treat you to milk tea. If you don’t come to the celebration, then we can make another appointment?”

Kou Shuang thought for a moment and closed her mouth.

She had no intention of developing a relationship, but Lu Renjia did. To make him give up, it was better not to give him a chance to be alone with her.

Song Muxue stared at Kou Shuang for a while, and seeing that she didn’t refuse, she also frowned and said, “Fine, but we can only stay for half an hour, I have something else to do later.”

Lu Renjia nodded in agreement and said quietly to Kou Shuang, “I’m sorry, I just want to thank you for your help.”

Kou Shuang pretended not to understand and nodded.

They all went to a restaurant near the school, and when they sat down, Kou Shuang subconsciously sat next to Song Muxue, and Lu Renjia didn’t take the initiative to sit next to her, which made her relieved.

Instead, it was Song Muxue who looked uncomfortable and asked her, “Why did you come to the celebration?”

Kou Shuang looked at Song Muxue and felt a little wronged. “I was tricked into coming, Lu Renjia said you would be here too.”

Song Muxue was silent for a moment, perhaps weighing the truth of this statement.

Seeing Song Muxue’s attitude, Kou Shuang understood something.

In the original story, the female lead had a calm and tenacious personality but was deeply in love with Zheng Fenglin. She was meticulous in solving cases and was steadfast in love. Both the male and female leads loved each other deeply, which was one of the most important highlights of *The Wind and Snow Gifted Me*.

Song Muxue… was she worried that she had some bad intentions? Especially considering her past behavior.

Kou Shuang awkwardly took a sip of tea and said, “That’s something, I want to ask you a favor. I want to… find a boyfriend, can you introduce me to one?”

‘As soon as I said that, I wanted to slap myself’, Kou Sang thought. What was she thinking?

Actually, she wanted to clarify to Song Muxue that she didn’t like Zheng Fenglin and wouldn’t interfere between them, not now, and not in the future. She didn’t want to truly become the vicious female supporting character, just to assist Song Muxue and Zheng Fenglin, a couple who would never be separated. But it was too embarrassing to say it directly, so she chose a more euphemistic way to express it.

Kou Shuang added, “Not Zheng Fenglin, it’s someone else.”

Surely that wouldn’t cause any misunderstanding.

After saying that, Kou Shuang took a sip of tea and thought that Song Muxue wouldn’t really introduce a boyfriend to her anyway. It was enough to express her stance with this sentence. Such a smart person as Song Muxue would definitely understand the underlying meaning.

Who knew that after hearing this, Song Muxue looked at Kou Shuang.

Kou Shuang lowered her head and sipped tea, unaware of how she looked in Song Muxue’s eyes.

With her head lowered, looking a bit aggrieved, the heat from the tea rose up, making it seem as if she were crying.

Song Muxue was startled and, remembering Kou Shuang’s strange behavior since the afternoon, couldn’t help but be surprised.

Could it be that Kou Shuang… was disappointed in love and no longer interested in Zheng Fenglin?

Before meeting Zheng Fenglin, Kou Shuang was actually a very good girl. At that time, Song Muxue’s parents had just died in an accident, and Kou Deqin had taken Song Muxue to live with him. Kou Shuang felt sorry for her and shared her bed and dolls with her, and they had been good sisters for a long time.

Because of that warmth, even though Kou Shuang had later made various troubles and acted spoiled because of Zheng Fenglin, Song Muxue could tolerate it and tried her best to take care of her.

But now, the Kou Shuang who was infatuated with love had repented? And she was even crying?

For the first time, Song Muxue felt a pang of conscience for something she hadn’t done wrong. Glancing at Lu Renjia, who was toasting everyone in the room, a thought came to her mind.

“You don’t want to go with Lu Renjia, do you?” Song Muxue asked.

Kou Shuang looked up, her eyes a bit confused. “I didn’t plan to go with him.”

Seeing Kou Shuang’s still clear eyes, Song Muxue felt relieved and thought: Thankfully, she wasn’t crying.

Just as Song Muxue was about to say something, her phone rang. She glanced at Kou Shuang and subtly turned the screen towards herself.

But Kou Shuang had already seen the caller ID, it was Zheng Fenglin.

Song Muxue stood up and turned to Kou Shuang, saying, “I’ll take a call, you eat here. If Lu Renjia invites you to do anything, just refuse. He’s not a suitable boyfriend.”

Kou Shuang nodded and said, “Go ahead.”

Kou Shuang watched Song Muxue hurriedly push open the door of the private room and thought: Song Muxue really likes Zheng Fenglin, it’s rare to see a childhood sweetheart couple who could end up together.

Kou Shuang was lost in thought about “literary works where childhood sweethearts end up together” when she suddenly realized that someone was sitting next to her.

Lu Renjia said, “Why isn’t Kou Shuang talking or eating much? Are you too restrained?”

Kou Shuang recovered from her daze and maintained the demeanor of an art goddess, saying, “I’m on a diet recently, I can’t eat much… When Song Muxue leaves early, I’ll leave with her.”

“Hey, we’re going to sing karaoke later, do you want to come? Although Song Muxue won’t be there, you might be a bit scared, but they’re definitely all good people!” Lu Renjia invited enthusiastically.

“No need,” Kou Shuang glanced at him and said, “I helped with the makeup for the party, and you invited me to dinner, so we’re even. There’s no need to have any more contact.”

“Really, you can’t come…” Before Lu Renjia could finish his sentence, the door of the private room was pushed open. Song Muxue walked in anxiously and was stunned when she saw Lu Renjia.

She reached for her bag hanging on the back of the chair and seemed about to leave. Kou Shuang asked, “What’s wrong?”

Lu Renjia said, “Does Song Muxue have something to do? I’m inviting Kou Shuang to sing karaoke later, could you persuade her for me?”

Song Muxue looked at Lu Renjia, hesitant. Then she saw Kou Shuang looking worried, sitting a little far from Lu Renjia, clearly unwilling to continue staying with him.

After hesitating for a moment, she turned to Kou Shuang and said, “I got a call from the hospital. Zheng Fenglin was stabbed by a thief while doing a good deed and is now undergoing surgery at the hospital. Do you want to go see him?”

In the past, she would never have made such an invitation. Because she knew Kou Shuang’s intentions, and she didn’t want to cause any trouble by bringing her to Zheng Fenglin. But today’s Kou Shuang seemed different… she wasn’t being unreasonable, but rather quite calm and composed.

Moreover, if she didn’t intervene, Lu Renjia might really keep Kou Shuang here.

After a brief decision, Song Muxue told Kou Shuang this information, and then she saw Kou Shuang stand up hurriedly and say, “Then let’s go quickly.”

She didn’t hesitate at all.

Kou Shuang really did like Zheng Fenglin… For some reason, Song Muxue’s heart skipped a beat.
