The Devoted Second Male Lead Decided to Favor Someone Else Chapter 25.2
Genius Artist (End) - Replacement of the White Moonlight for the Rich CEO
“Are you crazy? How could you think of me like that? I’ve already told you, it’s all part of Lu Shijin’s scheme!” Ruan Siheng clutched his chest in pain. “Huo Qi, we’ve been friends for over ten years, would you really rather believe him than me? Other than looking a bit like me, what else made you pay any attention to him! What does he count as?!”
“What do you count as?” Huo Qi approached Ruan Siheng step by step. Ruan Siheng was forced to step back, away from his cold gaze. Huo Qi smirked mockingly. “Ruan Siheng, do you really think that the filthy things you’ve done can’t be found out? Do you want me to remind you why you can’t draw? This isn’t your first time plagiarizing. While abroad, you had plagiarized your friend’s work, remember? When he found out, he asked you to publicly apologize. You pretended to agree, but later deliberately caused a car accident to murder him. You say that you came back to find inspiration, but it’s actually because you’re afraid of the nightmares that would haunt you if you stayed, right?”
Ruan Siheng was so scared his voice shook. “You… how… how do you know about this?”
Huo Qi coldly said, “The police from abroad received a report and have already found evidence. They’ll find you soon, I suggest you go turn yourself in.”
Ruan Siheng’s face became pale, and he swayed, before finally collapsing onto the floor.
“Also, you have something wrong. Lu Shijin isn’t your substitute, in fact, you can’t even be compared to a single strand of his hair.” After he finished speaking, Huo Qi didn’t spare Ruan Siheng a single glance as he turned and left.

Lu Shijin naturally wouldn’t miss out on a scene as exciting as Huo Qi and Ruan Siheng breaking up.
While he watched the live broadcast with relish, he told 711 to read aloud the audience’s comments.
【Damn, this drama just subverted my understanding of dog blood dramas, can they actually be filmed like this? Aren’t those two the protagonists? How did they get played by some supporting role?】
【Woah, I really like Lu Shijin! Who said that supporting characters have to stay as supporting characters, he tore the main characters off the stage and took advantage to turn everything around!】
【Who needs a plagiarizer like Ruan Siheng, please switch him off! I support Jinjin taking his position!】
【If we’re changing one, then we should change the other too, Huo Qi isn’t worthy of our Jinjin!】
【Yeah, Huo Qi isn’t worthy! Change it! Change it! Change it!】
Lu Shijin had heard enough and told 711 to stop, asking, “Where’s Huo Qi?”
“Almost at the door. What are you going to do next?”
Lu Shijin stood up to tidy his clothes. “If everything goes as expected, this should be my final performance.”
Lu Shijin had a bet with Ruan Siheng. They had bet whether Huo Qi or his career was more important to him.
If Huo Qi lost, then he was to come find Lu Shijin in their previous apartment.
On the way over, Huo Qi thought through many things.
Lu Shijin should have long discovered the matters concerning Ruan Siheng. The painting he gave him was a way of testing him.
Huo Qi remembered that when Lu Shijin gave him the painting, he stressed that it was for him and couldn’t be given to anyone else.
But he had immediately given it to Ruan Siheng, disappointing Lu Shijin and freezing his heart.
It was for that reason that Lu Shijin would take revenge by bedding Huo Lian. It was to make him experience betrayal.
Huo Qi believed that Lu Shijin could only hate him if he loved him, and as long as Lu Shijin loved him, he could forgive him.
Huo Qi also thought about how he should convince Lu Shijin to reconcile.
If Lu Shijin was still unhappy, he was even prepared to let down his pride and coax him.
But Lu Shijin didn’t give him this chance at all.
When Huo Qi entered to see Lu Shijin, who he had not seen for many days, many different feelings filled his heart, not knowing where to start.
He suddenly realized that as long as Lu Shijin was still willing to see him, he could forgive Lu Shijin for anything.
“Shijin, you’re finally willing to see me.” Huo Qi walked forward, wanting to hug Lu Shijin, but was stopped by Lu Shijin pushing him away.
Lu Shijin frowned in disgust, taking a step back. “Don’t, we’re not that familiar. Get away.”
Huo Qi didn’t mind, his tone becoming even gentler. “Are you still upset? I’ve already admitted my mistakes, can’t you give me a chance to make up?”
“To make up what?” Lu Shijin thought for a moment. “Are you talking about you treating me as Ruan Siheng’s substitute, or giving my art to him to plagiarize?”
Huo Qi looked embarrassed and said with his head lowered. “Everything.”
Lu Shijin smiled. “Then there’s no need. One, I was never sincere towards you. Two, you gave me quite a lot of money. It can be considered to be a transaction where neither side took a loss.”
Huo Qi was stunned. “What do you mean you weren’t sincere?”
Lu Shijin casually sat down, settling his feet on the coffee table as he smiled cheekily at him, “You were playing with me, but I was also playing with you, understand?”
Huo Qi’s face blanched. “Are you still upset?”
Lu Shijin responded to his question with a question. “Do I look like I am? Huo Qi, ask yourself, are you worthy of my love?”
711 was shocked to find that the satisfaction meter, which was originally low, began shooting up. It quickly opened up the bullet screen to check why.
