Hao Deyun continued to say,
"Furthermore, the number of people that Shang Xitong rejects in a year is uncountable. Her drinking the latte that you gave her is already a great privilege that you should be proud of for the rest of your life."
"The top womanizer and my idol once said that," Zhou Anchen said pridefully.
"Even if the universe explodes in the next second, we still have to stay classy. This is what a true gentleman should be like. We don't have rehearsals in our lives and every second is a live broadcast. However, you can choose between many roles. If you don't like this one, then change it to another one. There will always be a character tailor-made for you."
"What are you guys fantasizing about?"
He looked at his buddies as if they were fools.
"Shang Xitong told me to attend to some business with her!"
"What is it?"
Hao Deyun asked with a sly smile.
"That's good."
Song Yeguo was the only one who wasn't curious.
"Sigh, this world is too disappointing."
Zhou Anchen started lamenting again.
Su Chen looked at his buddies curiously. Their imaginations were running wild.
"Can't you guys be a little less perverted, like me?"
As he spoke, he raised his head proudly. "She just asked me to pick an upperclassman up."
Then, he heard the three people from beside him say in unison, "Tsk!"
They sounded disdainful, but Su Chen didn't care at all.
He knew that his buddies were his true friends.
What kind of people counted as friends?
When you were at your lowest and most dejected point,
they would be the first people to come over to accompany him and stay beside him.
When he was showing off and bragging,
they would be the first ones to snub him and diss him.
However, they were the ones who would accompany him and comfort him.
There was also something special about roommates.
That was, no matter how much money he left in the dormitory, not a single cent would be missing after he returned.
However, if he left delicious food in the dormitory, even if he didn't go out, and only went to the bathroom, after he came back, he might find only the packaging and crumbs left.
He was extremely lucky to have become buddies with him during the final years of his youth.
The four buddies returned to their dorm to catch up on sleep after forcing Su Chen to treat them to a delicious meal.
In the dormitory.
"What's wrong? Dad, aren't you progressing too quickly? Mom actually agreed to let you accompany her shopping?"
Shang Yixin's surprised voice was heard through the earpiece.
"We're going to the airport to pick someone up. She's an upperclassman who's friends with her. We're not going shopping together."
He was also a little proud deep down. This was slightly better than studying together.
He had never felt so happy before. Thus, he began to praise himself in his mind.
Who could rival him? No one in the world could compare to him.
He didn't know anyone who could surpass him. He was unrivaled!
When Shang Yixin saw his hilarious appearance, she laughed until her stomach hurt.
"Hahaha, Dad, aren't you being too full of yourself?"
"The two of you aren't even dating yet. If you're really that invincible, then I'll take my leave now," Shang Yixin teased.
"No, no, no."
He wanted to ask Shang Yixin for her advice, so he didn't dare to show off anymore, and he went straight to the point.
"Your mother and I are at this stage now. How should I find out how your mother feels about me now? Is she attracted to me?"
"I don't know. All you ever do is talk about Mom."
For some reason, Shang Yixin lost her temper and complained angrily.
"Dad, is Mom the only one you care about? Am I not important at all?"
"Uh, how could that be?"
Although he looked a little helpless, he still had to coax his daughter.
"You're someone I care about too. I'm just anxious to win your mother over so that other people won't take advantage of this opportunity."
Shang Yixin felt aggrieved. "Dad, why don't you care about your own daughter at all? I've been doing everything for your sake. Who else cares about you like I do?"
...
Shang Yixin seemed a little insincere.
She also seemed like the backstabbing type of friend.
"As your dad, I am also very concerned about you, my precious daughter."
Su Chen was somewhat unsure of what to do, but he knew that he had to console her no matter what.
"Alright, alright. My dear daughter, I wanted to say that we should get back together with your mother as soon as possible. Otherwise, if something were to happen, we might really only be able to see each other virtually!"
"Hmph, either way, you don't care about me."
"Okay, okay. I was wrong. I will definitely express more concern for you in the future."
"Alright, I'll forgive you this time."
When she heard Su Chen coaxing her, Shang Yixin calmed down and began to make her move.
"Dad, if you want to find out if Mom has feelings for you now, it's very simple. Just find a suitable time and ask Mom directly. Just ask her, have you started to develop some feelings for me? That's right. Dad. You should ask Mom directly instead of using other methods that are very likely to backfire to test her."
"After all, for girls, regardless of whether they like you or not, they will reject you directly. However, you have to observe Mom's reaction. If Mom is a little shy, or even too bashful to look at you, and then rejects you, then it means that she is still interested in you, and she isn't just a little interested in you. But if Mom's expression is very serious and she firmly rejects you, then it means that you haven't succeeded yet, so you still have to work harder."
"She'll reject me no matter what? What?"
Su Chen was a bit stumped and said, "But won't it make things awkward between us? Will we be able to continue talking?"
"Isn't it just some slight awkwardness? That's easy to handle. When the time comes, you can just say that dreams are all fake," Shang Yixin said with a smile.
"If Mom asks you what's in your dream, you can just make it up. After all, Dad, you're a man. You have to learn how to ease the awkwardness. The most important thing is, if you do this, you'll know if Mom likes you or not. It won't be too awkward, and you two will have even more to talk about. It's very worth it."
Uh, now that she put it that way, this was really a superb tactic.
Su Chen was impressed by Shang Yixin's wit.
His daughter was indeed a top-notch femme-fatale.
10: 10 PM. While his roommates were still playing on their phones, he quietly left the dormitory.
He arrived at the southern gate ten minutes earlier.
Just as he reached the door, he realized that Shang Xitong was coincidentally approaching from afar.
As expected of a goddess, Shang Xitong was the center of attention wherever she went.
