Chapter 329: Chapter 155: Dog Man’s Surprise Control_3
Chen Nuanhan really was led astray, thinking to herself: It’s a class trip after all, taking photos with Gu Jiuyue is inevitable, it doesn’t prove anything. I’m far away right now, I mustn’t make a fuss.
At least, he didn’t hide it from me, which shows he has nothing to hide.
With that in mind, Chen Nuanhan chose to cooperate proactively.
"Really? Then you’re truly awesome! I’m so envious you guys can go to such beautiful places, I just got home two days ago, and my mom has already started to get annoyed with me..."
That was clearly a cue for me to pick up on.
Su Huai spotted the key point right away—emotional sharing.
Some straight guys don’t know how to discern if a girl likes them or not, actually, you just need to see if she initiates topics that give you room to engage.
If the conversation is always about cosmetics, luxury goods, or fun and delicious things, chances are she’s treating you like an ATM.
Talking directly about luxury goods is outdated, better not to mention it.
The new tests usually start with a foodie persona, like "The newly launched Dalian early-morning cherries are so delicious, but also so expensive,". This kind of bait is left for the lapdogs to pick up the tab.
If you just brazenly say, "No worries, I’ll buy them for you," then you’re done for; they immediately know how to deal with you.
If the conversation always revolves around topics you’re interested in and good at, then chances are she’s into you and wants to give you an opportunity.
But Chen Nuanhan’s game is on a higher level; her mom might not really be annoyed with her, but she’s using this extremely vague method to stimulate Su Huai’s desire to share or console, with a follow-up move whether he advances or retreats, ensuring the conversation stays pleasant.
A more straightforward guy might share about the sea in Sanya, the fun of fishing, or the novelty of a group trip.
A guy with high emotional intelligence might empathize with her on the topic of "annoyance," which could keep them talking for an hour or two.
And Su Huai...
He’s a dog, so he chose to flip the table.
"You really are quite annoying, behaving for just one day, and getting too familiar the next, climbing up the roof—"
Chen Nuanhan was angry but didn’t want to waste the great situation at hand, so she quickly retaliated: "I haven’t even started with you for going out to have fun on your own! How dare you?"
Tsk, I dare much more.
Su Huai sensed her mood was quite stable, so he boldly sang his own praises: "Big sister, I was the leader, so what do you mean by going out to have fun on my own? I was looking after more than forty kids, do you think that’s easy?!"
Indeed so.
Chen Nuanhan nodded involuntarily, the last bit of grudge in her heart melting away.
But her next words made Su Huai’s heart skip a beat.
"But why did you block Wu?"
Dammit!
She had actually done some side investigation!
Gou Huai felt a cold sweat on his back and couldn’t help feeling relieved: Thank goodness I was quick-witted and let her in on time, or else...
Or else blocking her would definitely lead to a battle, collapsing the whole situation.
Damn, these super smart women are truly hard to deal with, Nazha is cuter, beautiful with a simple mind, even the likes of a guy with a surname of Xu could fool her for months without capsizing... If she were not a public figure, it might even be years.
Why are the women around me each smarter than the last?
Gou Huai felt quite annoyed, but this didn’t stop him from continuing to bullshit.
"I didn’t block him on purpose, I was setting the privacy to ’Partial Visibility’ and specifically selected you, how about that, are you envious of my current life? Hahahaha~~~"
Hands-on-hips.smug.JPG.
This kind of showoff is indeed annoying, but it also shows a bold preference.
Chen Nuanhan was both annoyed and pleased, convinced of her special status, her Favorability Rating didn’t drop but instead increased a few points.
"Hmph, just you wait!"
She wanted to continue the conversation, and the screen showed "typing".
But Gou Huai didn’t dare to blabber on anymore. Gu was coming over with a plate of salmon.
He quickly replied: "Can’t wait a moment longer, I’m about to start eating, bye-bye now~~~"
Click - the screen went dark, and he stood up to take the plate.
Gou Huai’s smile was as warm as the sunshine: "Did you try a bite first? You’re the hero of this meal."
Gu Jiuyue smiled and turned her head, sitting down beside Gou Huai, offering him the dipping sauce.
"You take the first bite. To the victor belong the spoils; you are the biggest hero."
Guilty feelings suddenly surged in Su Huai’s heart.
Dammit, Gou Huai, you really deserve to die...
The genuinely warm and pure Gu Jiuyue continued to batter the old man’s defenses, lashing at his cold and hardened heart with a small whip, crack, crack, crack...
The rhythm of his heartbeat became increasingly erratic.
