322 The Male Lead Has to Buy Tanghulu (1/2)

Nie Chang coughed. Wasn't his little darling a little too self-assured? Even though he was the one who had written the story and was currently occupying Dou Fang Hai's body, it certainly wasn't like he'd have some kind of plot armor just because of that, was it? After all, the system had generated this world based on what he had written and planned so far and Su Yan certainly wouldn't have noted that the protagonist would have a cheat that didn't allow others to steal from him.

Well, even though he wasn't too sure about that, he still didn't think that it was likely to happen upon another transmigrator. After all, Su Yan should neither have written anything that suggested people were transmigrating into this novel.

”Why aren't you saying anything? Do you think I'm not the protagonist?”

”Of course not!” Nie Chang hurriedly grabbed his little darling's hand and pulled him with him to the side of the road while looking for a place where they could look at the system without drawing attention. ”You're definitely the protagonist. In fact, you'd be the protagonist in any story you're part of. After all, who could bear to turn you into a side character when you're so adorable?”

”Mn!” Su Yan beamed and readily followed him, not paying attention anymore where they were headed.

Nie Chang finally stopped in a side street. There was an old shop not far from the crossroads that had closed down. They stopped below the overhanging roof and Nie Chang looked at the bracelet around Su Yan's wrist. Standing here, they shouldn't attract too much attention.

”Alright, let's take a look at the progress.”

”Progress?” Su Yan blinked. What progress?

Nie Chang's lips twitched. ”The progress to the next level. Didn't we come here so we could look at the system without anyone noticing?”

Su Yan looked down and lifted his arm. Had they really come because of the system? Hadn't they wanted to go on a date? Well, they could probably take a short look before they went on that date. ”System?” He knocked on the bracelet and the front page of the system opened indeed.

Su Yan smiled happily and looked up at his boyfriend.

”Mn. Then what about the progress?”

The system opened a window that showed the usual pink bar with the numbers below. Thanks to the curve of the bracelet and the surface that wasn't as smooth as the mirror or the screen of Su Yan's phone or notebook, the bar wasn't too clear. Su Yan wasn't sure whether it had changed at all and could only poke his boyfriend.

”Ah Chang, what do you say? Did we make progress?”

Nie Chang looked at the numbers below and nodded. ”We have forty percent now.”

”That's … good? Didn't we have thirty-something yesterday?”
