Seeing Xu Shuai and Li Longlong nodding in affirmation, Huang Fei couldn't help but let a grin spread across his face, as if he were trying to suppress a brick-sized smile. Clearing his throat lightly, he continued, "Of course, this is just the first step."
"The second step is even more crucial: you need to maintain a constant presence in front of your goddess with greetings morning, noon, and night. You must ensure she feels your existence. Then, there are gifts and surprises—keeping things fresh is key!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Shuai and Li Longlong exchanged glances of realization and nodded seriously. "Exactly, Lao Ao, this point is indeed very important."
"Your presence will make the goddess think of you constantly, and freshness is a form of alternative flirting, right?"
Huang Fei was momentarily taken aback; he hadn't realized his words carried such meaning! But now, hearing the two interpret his thoughts, he couldn't help but nod in respect. "The third step is also crucial in pursuing a girl."
"Once you have established enough presence, start asking her out—continuously. Even if she rejects you, keep asking, because girls can be shy. As long as her heart softens and she agrees to your invitation, you’re halfway there!"
With a confident smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, he added, "Don’t worry, with us seasoned veterans as your strategists, no matter how difficult the girl is, just two words: 'Get her!'"
Seeing Huang Fei's confident demeanor, Long Aotian couldn't help but take a deep breath. This "dog-licking" literature was so intense that even Fei Yangyang would hand him a cigarette and call him "brother"!
But when he turned around, he was surprised to find Xu Shuai and Li Longlong nodding earnestly?
Their gazes toward Huang Fei even held a sense of mutual admiration?
This was utterly ridiculous!
In the end, whether Long Aotian felt good or not was uncertain, but Huang Fei and the others were inexplicably enjoying themselves.
"I never expected we’d hit it off so well. Let’s go, I’ll treat you all to some skewers today!" Huang Fei declared grandly, waving his hand.
Li Longlong and Xu Shuai had no objections. They had arrived a few days earlier and already knew Huang Fei came from a wealthy family.
Since they all shared a dorm and got along well, there was no reason to feel awkward—after all, they would be living together for the next four years unless something unexpected happened!
Long Aotian naturally had no objections either; this was the college life he had always dreamed of!
They made their way to the snack street outside the campus.
During the school season, the area was packed to the brim.
The four of them walked to the back before finally finding a spot.
"One can of fresh draft beer, and for the barbecue, just the bread, no steamed buns or sweets. The rest, let’s get ten skewers of everything else."
After downing half a glass of draft beer, they couldn’t help but let out a satisfied "ah."
Their friendship began with that first sip of alcohol.
Long Aotian exhaled deeply.
Back when he was at Haiwan No. 1 High School, his reputation had been tarnished. Even after he changed, not many wanted to hang out with him.
Now, in this new environment where no one knew anyone's past, they could speak freely. This feeling made Long Aotian feel relaxed, and his mindset began to shift.
What amused him the most was that they still hadn’t given up on teaching him how to date.
"Lao Ao, you have no idea how high the current single rate is; it’s downright scary. But you’re lucky. If we weren’t all dating experts, you probably wouldn’t even get to experience the beauty of campus romance!"
Long Aotian chuckled but said nothing. After all, dating is just humanity's pursuit of beautiful things.
Just then, his phone vibrated.
He pulled it out to see a message from Hu Yuying.
Hu Yuying: "Long Ge, I’m getting along great with my roommates. How about you?"
"My dorm is across from Qingxue's. I’m on the third floor, and Qingxue is on the second."
"Long Ge, can I come find you?"
Looking at Hu Yuying's message, Long Aotian chuckled, glancing at his rosy-cheeked roommates boasting about their drinking prowess. He replied, "My roommates are great too."
"You don’t know the way. I’ll come see you when I have time."
Soon, Hu Yuying's reply came: "Qingxue is with me; we know the way."
Long Aotian had no choice but to be honest, saying he was currently eating with his roommates.
When they parted at the subway station, they had originally agreed to have lunch together at three.
Sure enough, after sending that message, Hu Yuying didn’t respond as quickly as before.
Before long, a voice message came through.
Long Aotian opened it, and Li Qingxue's voice rang out: "Long Aotian, you tricked us again! We agreed to have dinner together tonight."
Li Qingxue was not as easy to appease as Hu Yuying; Long Aotian could already imagine her dragging this out for ages!
Just as he was about to brush it off, Huang Fei suddenly perked up, swaying slightly as he said, "Huh? A woman’s voice? I think I heard a woman’s voice."
"Where? Where?" Xu Shuai squinted his bleary eyes, trying to look around.
"I think I heard it too. Someone said 'trickster.' That voice is really nice..." Li Longlong chimed in with a lewd grin.
Long Aotian's mouth twitched. "Aren't you guys being a bit over the top?"
One fancied himself a love saint, another a love knight, and the last a love king? Their performance was a bit too much!
In the end, all three turned their gazes to Long Aotian, raising their glasses with a nonchalant smile. "You wouldn’t understand."
Watching them show off, Long Aotian didn’t feel annoyed; instead, he found it genuinely amusing.
On the other side, Hu Yuying felt a bit down. With classes starting tomorrow, if she didn’t see Long Ge today, she probably wouldn’t be able to find him until after military training.
"Long Aotian missing out on dinner with two beautiful girls is his loss," Li Qingxue huffed.
Then she turned to the still-disappointed Hu Yuying. "By the way, Yuying, I feel like you’re really dependent on Long Aotian."
"Long Ge takes good care of me," Hu Yuying replied softly.
"Yeah, I can see that. Long Aotian really treats you well."
"Yes, he always treats me nicely."
There were many times when Long Ge’s heart raced in her presence, and his ears would turn red without him realizing...
His emotions clearly swayed by her...
But more often than not... he held back...
She could sense that Long Ge seemed to be worried about something, as if there was a wall in his heart...
【It feels like it’s colder here than in previous years; I wonder how it is over there? And will it snow this year?】
