My hands shivered as I tried to push my cousin brother away.

As I embarked on the momentous task, I heard a groan from beside me.

My eyes turned to see the beautiful Heroine-chan sprawled unbecomingly at the side.

"Heroi-- Miss He! Are you alright?"

Before I could push cousin brother away to save Miss He, I was pulled into a rough embrace.

My eyes widened in horror.

I turned my head to see my cousin brother's dark gaze.

His eyes were filled with unspeakable emotions.

He spoke with a hoarse voice.

"Younger cousin."

He moved closer to my ear.

"Your feet is pressing onto my little brother below. Move!"

Ah.

***

In the midst of helping both cousin and heroine up, I had hoped the two will leave in love and leave me alone, this canon fodder.

But who was to know that Heroine-chan insisted to be by my side.

"Gongzi. Please! I insist to be by your side till your illness is cured!"

Mother ah.

Only you know that my illness is faked.

I smiled sincerely and humbly at the courageous (but stupid) Female Lead.

"Miss He. There is no need for this. This illness of mine has been here since young. I do not think a lady of the boudoir can help me."

I hinted at the manservant behind to escort her out.

But before he could do so, Heroine-chan quickly came over to hug me.

....

This cannon fodder is really lost.

Where has the OP Female Lead gone to???

Why is she hanging onto me again????

I shrieked once more!

"Miss He! Please know propriety! Men and women cannot touch each other wantonly!"

Miss He grabbed me tighter and whispered into my ear.

"Then I'll marry you!"
