53: Chapter 53 The Master of Emotions

Jiang Jing leaned halfway against the headboard, boredly scrolling through Douyin.

He had originally wanted to find a few beautiful streamers to gift and get cash back, but after scrolling for a long time, he didn't see anyone suitable.

Just as he was about to close the app, a title caught his attention:

"The Complete Guide to Female Subtext! Understand These and You Can Get a Girlfriend!"

The video cover featured a bespectacled male blogger with a confident expression that said, "I understand women."

Jiang Jing raised an eyebrow and clicked on it.

"Good evening, brothers! I am your emotional guru, A-Wei!" The male blogger in the video pushed up his glasses. "Today, let's talk about those 'subtexts' of women. Understand these, and I guarantee you'll be invincible in the dating scene!"

The comments flooded in immediately:

[Front row seats!]

[Brother Wei is here to save the straight men again!]

[My girlfriend always says I lack ambition, help!]

Jiang Jing watched on with great interest.

"First, let's look at the first classic line — 'What I want is not money, what I want is a sense of security.'" A-Wei held up a finger. "Brothers, what is the subtext of this sentence? Tell me in the comments!"

The comments exploded instantly:

[It just means she wants money!]

[Put her name on the deed!]

[Don't even think about dating if you make less than ten thousand a month!]

"Exactly!" A-Wei slapped the table. "The three words 'sense of security,' translated into plain language, mean — you need to have money! And you need to have it now! Don't tell her you'll have it in the future; women want spot goods, not futures!"

Jiang Jing couldn't help but laugh out loud; this blogger was interesting.

"The second classic line — 'I like guys who are ambitious.'" A-Wei made an exaggerated thoughtful expression. "What does this sentence mean?"

[It means you'll have money in the future!]

[It's okay to be poor now, but you can't stay poor forever!]

[A stock with potential!]

"All correct!" A-Wei pushed up his glasses. "'Ambition' is just a euphemism for having money in the future! Women can accept that you don't have money now, but you must make her believe that you will be very rich in the future! Otherwise, you 'lack ambition'!"

Jiang Jing nodded and casually liked the video. Although this analysis was blunt, it actually had some truth to it.

"The third one is even more classic — 'Life needs a sense of ritual.'" A-Wei revealed a meaningful smile. "Come on, let the comments roll!"

The comments were instantly flooded with "Spend money":

[Give gifts on holidays!]

[Surprises for anniversaries!]

[Never stop the red envelopes!]

"Spot on!" A-Wei slapped his thigh. "A 'sense of ritual' means spending money on her during various holidays, anniversaries, or even inexplicable days like '100 days of being together'! The more you spend, the stronger the sense of ritual!"

Jiang Jing's shoulders shook with laughter. The video continued playing, and A-Wei became more and more enthusiastic:

"'You need to have a sense of responsibility' — it means you have to give her money to spend! 'You need to know how to be romantic' — it means you need to know how to spend money on her! 'You need to be dependable' — it means you need to spend money on her friends and family too!"

The comments were going crazy:

[Brother Wei hit the nail on the head!]

[My ex-girlfriend drained me exactly like that!]

[So that's why I broke up—I didn't understand the subtext!]

Jiang Jing couldn't stop laughing either. With a flick of his finger, he directly sent ten "carnivals."

The special effects instantly took over the screen. A-Wei's eyes widened in the video:

"Thanks for the ten carnivals, Brother 'Wu Ming CC'! Big brother is mighty! Big brother is imposing! Big brother must have understood these subtexts!"

The comments joined in:

[A tycoon has appeared!]

[Does big brother need a sidekick?]

[This analysis must have amused the big boss.]

Jiang Jing sent another comment: "Continue, if you keep talking well, there's more."

A-Wei immediately acted as if he had been injected with adrenaline. He pushed up his glasses, his voice rising by an octave: "Alright! Since big brother is so supportive, I'll go all out today and bring out my best hidden techniques!"

He switched the PPT, and a line of big text appeared on the screen: "Advanced Subtext Analysis."

"Brothers, pay attention! If you understand these next lines, you'll be a veteran in the dating scene!" A-Wei lowered his voice mysteriously. "For example, if a girl says, 'I think you're a good person' — what does that mean?"

Comments:

[Giving you a 'good person' card!]

[You're a good guy!]

[It's over!]

"Wrong! Dead wrong!" A-Wei shook his head violently. "Sometimes it means you're not handsome enough, but in a specific context, the subtext of this sentence is — you haven't given enough money!"

The comments exploded instantly:

[???]

[Holy crap! Not handsome enough, not rich enough, that's actually true!]

[So that's it!]

Jiang Jing was stunned too. This was a unique perspective!

"Don't believe it?" A-Wei had an "I understand" expression. "Think about it, if a girl accepts your gifts, goes on dates with you, but just won't agree to be your girlfriend, and always says 'You're a good person' — isn't it obvious she's complaining that you haven't given enough?"

[An epiphany!]

[Brother Wei saved my life!]

[So it wasn't that I'm not a good person, it was that I didn't have enough money!]

Jiang Jing sent another ten carnivals, and A-Wei was so excited he almost fell off his chair:

"Thanks to big brother! Big brother has eyes like torches! Let's continue! The next advanced subtext — 'I need a clear set of values'! This sentence is extremely lethal; many brothers are confused after hearing it, right?"

The comments were filled with wailing:

[My ex-girlfriend broke up with me exactly like this!]

[I totally don't understand it!]

[Please explain!]

A-Wei revealed a mysterious smile: "The subtext of this sentence is — while spending money on her, you also have to make her happy! Just spending money isn't enough; you also have to make her feel like you aren't just giving her charity!"

[Too real!]

[Wanting everything!]

[A woman's heart is a needle at the bottom of the sea!]

Jiang Jing laughed so hard he slapped his thigh. This A-Wei was a real genius, analyzing the affairs between men and women so thoroughly. With a twitch of his hand, he directly sent twenty carnivals.

The Livestream room instantly boiled over:

[Holy crap! That's thirty carnivals!]

[Does the big boss need a sidekick?]

[Brother Wei is making a fortune tonight!]

A-Wei was already so excited he was incoherent: "Thank you, big brother! Big brother is truly my soulmate!"

As the video neared its end, A-Wei summarized: "Brothers, remember one thing — every sentence a woman says has a subtext, and ninety percent of the subtext is related to money! This isn't being materialistic; this is reality!"

[That hurts!]

[But it makes so much sense!]

[Brother Wei sees through life!]

The comments were instantly flooded with "Hahaha" and "Too real."

After Jiang Jing left the Livestream room, he scrolled for a long time without seeing anyone who met his requirements, so, overcome by sleepiness, he had to hug the fragrant and soft school beauty to sleep.

(If you guys want any specific beauties, you can tell me their names, appearances, and backgrounds, and I will arrange for them when I have the chance!)
