Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 71: Isn’t She the Heroine of the Book?
"How do you know that chickens of what age have nutritional value?" Ke Zeming continued his questioning without showing any emotional change.
Su Yijia rolled her eyes at him without hiding her irritation. "I bet you’ve never cared about anything in the kitchen at home, have you? Ask any female comrade who deals with the kitchen every day, and they all know that although hens can lay eggs in the first year, the peak period for egg production is usually in the second or third year. Not only do they lay more eggs during this time, but the eggs are also larger, indicating that the hens are at their healthiest. However, after three years, starting from the fourth year, the size of the eggs laid by hens starts to decrease each year, and the egg production declines until they stop laying altogether."
This explanation left Ke Zeming slightly embarrassed. His family background was quite good, so he had indeed never set foot in the kitchen and didn’t know these common knowledge facts.
"But that man said you had a problem, and those things disappeared out of thin air. How do you explain that?" Ke Zeming cleared his throat and changed the subject, suppressing his embarrassment.
Su Yijia innocently shrugged. "Do you believe in things disappearing out of thin air? Is there such a thing in this world? What you need to confirm first is whether what I handed over is the same as what they supposedly stole. If I didn’t swap anything, there’s no way things could disappear into thin air. Maybe he’s just unable to accept his failure, so he made up a crazy excuse. Not only to escape responsibility from his comrades but also to deceive himself, unwilling to admit his own mistake. There are many people in this world who, even when they’re clearly in the wrong, refuse to admit it and always find reasons in others."
"Do you think someone like that would do something so foolish?" Ke Zeming wanted to agree with Su Yijia’s perspective but found it hard to believe.
"Whether I’m angry or not doesn’t matter. What’s important is that he claimed he never took his eyes off me but still couldn’t find anything in my bag. Do you have any other explanation?" Su Yijia kicked the ball right back to him.
"Why, of course! If you’re with the band, they might be using this utterly impossible reason to distance themselves from you, casting doubt on their relationship with you while gaining our trust. This way, you can earn our trust and become the savior of Professor Li’s life. In the future, you’ll have the opportunity to get close to Professor Li and, through him, approach other research professors," Ke Zeming replied with unwavering conviction. It was as if he had already decided that Su Yijia was the one.
Despite her involvement in the situation, Su Yijia couldn’t deny the logic behind his analysis. If she weren’t the one in question, she would probably believe the man in front of her rather than herself.
However, even thinking this way, Su Yijia couldn’t help but feel frustrated. These people collectively lost their intelligence when dealing with her sister, the main female character’s storyline, but when it came to handling her affairs, their intelligence and ability to take action were in full force. This rewritten novel still didn’t allow her to enjoy the privileges of being the female lead, making her tempted to express some dissatisfaction with the national character. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
"What you said is difficult for me to explain, given that this series of events can only be explained as ’everything happens for a reason.’ However, I know you have your own methods of investigation and questioning. As long as you need it, I can cooperate with you," Su Yijia said without intending to argue further. After all, there was no problem they could find with what they currently had to investigate. As for her visit to the black market, well, there was no way they could know about that since there were no surveillance cameras.
"Aren’t you angry? Don’t you want to throw a tantrum or seek help from someone?" Ke Zeming’s self-doubt deepened as he observed Su Yijia’s calm attitude.
