Some college guys looking for food were so mesmerized by Su Lexuan's makeup that they missed their bus.
They stood there, battling with themselves about whether to ask for her contact information.
When Su Lexuan looked their way, they felt like a beautiful woman was secretly observing them, giving them the courage to ask for her number. Little did they know, Su Lexuan was just looking for someone.
"Sorry, I'm late."
A familiar voice came from behind. Su Lexuan turned around quickly to greet him, only to be stunned when she saw the familiar handsome guy. It took her a moment to respond, "Excuse me, who are you?"
"It's me, Shen Lang."
Shen Lang laughed and reminded her, "It's only been a few days. Did you forget me already?"
"You... you're Shen Lang?"
Su Lexuan struggled to connect the bright, handsome guy in front of her with the dull, glasses-wearing homebody from before. Shen Lang mimed holding binoculars up to his eyes: "Recognize me now?"
"You look so different without glasses."
Su Lexuan finally understood and smiled, asking curiously, "Is it okay for you not to wear glasses?"
Shen Lang nodded, "My nearsightedness isn't severe, so I don't really need them."
"Oh, I see."
Su Lexuan was delighted. Her polite eyes studied Shen Lang, who seemed completely transformed. It was the same face, but without glasses, and this was only their second meeting. The biggest difference was his demeanor. The first time, he was tense and shy. Now, he seemed cheerful and confident.
Is this the difference between wearing and not wearing glasses? It's such a big change!
"You look pretty handsome without glasses."
Su Lexuan couldn't help but compliment him. Before, she was drawn to Shen Lang's humorous conversation but put off by his shy, introverted nature. Now, there was nothing to dislike. He fit her idea of a perfect partner.
People want their significant other to become more perfect. Boyfriends want girlfriends to be more attractive, and vice versa. No girl wants to take a shy, introverted boyfriend shopping.
**System tips:**
1. Compliment her looks and casually mention her height, then praise her long legs!
2. Say, "You're pretty too, but your chest isn't very big. You should eat more papaya."
3. Say, "Thanks, you're pretty cool too, wearing speed socks. Can we not go back to school tonight? I want to have ice cream!"
"You look pretty too."
Shen Lang observed her curiously, "You seem quite tall, about 1.7 meters?"
"No, I'm not that tall," Su Lexuan shyly shook her head. "I'm around 1.65 meters."
"Maybe it's because your legs are long," Shen Lang said casually, gesturing, "You seem to reach my chest."
"Ha, no way, you're over 1.8 meters tall."
Su Lexuan lifted her leg in white stockings, laughing shyly but clearly pleased.
**Ding! Su Lexuan's affection increased by 2 points, now 11 points. Keep it up!**
Shen Lang realized the system suggested a casual compliment because it seemed more genuine.
"Let's go eat," Shen Lang pointed towards a food street, "There's an old street with a lantern festival tonight. After dinner, we can walk around."
It's Saturday night, and Su Lexuan had no plans to stay out late. This was too good an opportunity for Shen Lang to pass up. A girl willing to go out at night likely has feelings for you. The night can create a romantic atmosphere, making it easier for emotions to flourish.
Shen Lang took Su Lexuan to a well-known roast duck restaurant. After ordering, he started chatting with her, with the system's help. He talked about topics she liked: campus life, celebrity gossip, and horror movies.
For example, he brought up a topic about roommates, and Su Lexuan eagerly talked about her roommates' personalities and quirks. Girls might not want to chat if you don't talk about their interests or if your conversation is awkward.
Luckily, Shen Lang had help! Without it, he wouldn't have even gotten the university beauty to eat roast duck with him.
With the system's help, Shen Lang's attitude changed, and his conversation skills improved. Sometimes he could carry on without prompts, thanks to the system's guidance.
When the food arrived, Shen Lang and Su Lexuan were deep in conversation. The two waitresses served the food with knowing smiles.
Su Lexuan was naturally lively. On their first date, like most girls, she tried to be quiet and reserved. But within an hour of chatting, her true self emerged.
One of the waitresses, after serving all the food, smiled at the chatty couple and said, "Take your time with love, but eat the roast duck while it's hot!"
