Chapter 97 The Inner Drama of Self-PUA

Fine,

I'll tell you, but you have to treat me to a meal next time.

Consider it tuition.

Li Lei quickly patted his chest, his tone brisk:

Deal!

No problem!

Go ahead, let's share the tricks for picking up girls.

It's just one meal, no big deal!

He calculated inwardly that once he learned this trick, he'd have one more technique to coax girls in the future.

Wu Gang nodded with satisfaction, leaned over to Li Lei, lowered his voice, and patiently explained:

Brown sugar water replenishes Qi and blood.

When women are on their period, they lose blood.

Their bodies are weak, and drinking brown sugar water can replenish Qi and blood.

It can also relieve stomach pain.

It's more effective than any painkiller, and the key is that it's not expensive.

Li Lei suddenly realized, patted his own head, looking excited:

Oh!

Got it, got it!

So that's the secret!

It's not expensive, but it shows thoughtfulness and care.

Girls will definitely like it.

This is good, this trick is so practical!

Lin Chen sat to the side, listening to their conversation, and couldn't help but add a comment.

{Teaching a pick-up trick. Let all the pick-up masters learn from each other.}

His tone held the clarity of someone who had been there, and also hid a hint of deliberate guidance:

Details determine success or failure!

He paused, looked at their serious expressions, and continued:

These kinds of trivial details best reflect your value.

And they are the best at creating emotional goodwill in girls.

It's even more effective than spending big money on gifts.

Once these words were out, Li Lei's eyes lit up instantly, and he nodded repeatedly:

Right!

You're absolutely right!

Details determine success or failure, I'll remember that!

The more he thought about it, the more it made sense. He immediately grabbed Wu Gang's arm, his tone urgent:

Alright then, Wu Gang,

I'll go buy some brown sugar with you first,

And I'll bring it to my senior girlfriend as a gift later,

Maybe she'll think I'm thoughtful!

Wu Gang smiled and nodded. The two immediately packed their things and walked out of the hot pot restaurant with Lin Chen.

Wu Gang and Li Lei went to the supermarket to buy brown sugar, while Lin Chen went to the badminton court to reserve a court.

They agreed to meet at the badminton court at 7:30 sharp.

When 7:30 arrived, the group met at the badminton court on time.

Just as Lin Chen took out his badminton racket, he saw Xia Wanrou wearing light sportswear, her hair in a high ponytail, bouncing over towards him.

Her face held a hint of coquettishness, and her tone was full of complaints and longing:

Lin Chen!

What have you been busy with these past few days?

When I try to chat with you, you always reply in such a rush,

Did you forget about me?

Her eyes were sparkling, looking straight at Lin Chen, the longing in them undisguised. The scent of youth wafted from her, making Li Lei, who was standing to the side, secretly envious.

Lin Chen, that guy, really had good fortune to be so missed by such a cute girl.

On the other side, Xia Wanqing seemed a bit angry.

This guy flirted with me, kissed me, touched me twice a day, and now he's not being proactive anymore.

Is this intentional?

It made me nervous and expectant for a few days,

Did he change his mind again?

I'll see what his attitude is when we meet today.

Lin Chen didn't know what Xia Wanqing was muttering in her heart.

He looked at Xia Wanrou's coquettish appearance and revealed a gentle smile.

He reached out and gently rubbed her hair.

His tone was flat but carried a hint of comfort:

Well, I've been busy with stock market research and how to register an investment company recently,

There have been a lot of personal matters, so I haven't been able to accompany you much.

As he spoke, he changed the subject, looking at Xia Wanrou with serious eyes, his tone carrying a hint of deliberate guidance,

{Teaching a pick-up trick. All pick-up masters must pass on subconscious guidance in a timely manner.}

He started PUA-ing her calmly:

So, to be my girlfriend, you have to be mentally prepared,

I'm not the kind of person who will be glued to you all the time,

I have my own things to do,

You also need to have your own life and things; don't always think about sticking to me, you know?

He had a clear plan in his mind.

He had to deal with Su Wan, Su Qingran (Counselor), Li Sisi (the young married woman), and the twin sisters all at once.

There was also the mature woman He Yun, who had just entered the fold.

And there was Zhao Mengyao, the doctor, whom he was meeting tonight.

There would only be more women.

He simply didn't have the extra time to accompany any one of them constantly.

Giving Xia Wanrou a heads-up now and instilling this mindset was to avoid her being clingy and reduce trouble when he had to manage multiple relationships later.

After all, only by making her get used to his "busyness" could he better balance his multilateral relationships and steadily win everyone over.

Xia Wanrou was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

The coquettishness on her face gradually turned into obedience, and her tone was soft:

I know, I won't always stick to you,

You just focus on your things; I'll wait for you obediently.

Looking at Lin Chen's serious expression, she was not angry at all; instead, she felt that Lin Chen was very ambitious.

Her favorability towards him grew even more.

Come on, let's play first.

Lin Chen spun the racket in his hand, his tone casual yet carrying an undeniable sense of dominance.

He glanced at the pair standing nearby and lifted his chin:

Li Lei, you and your girlfriend pair up and go to the other side.

After arranging things for others, his gaze shifted.

It landed directly on Xia Wanqing.

She had been pursing her lips since just now, her face flat.

She didn't look very happy, or perhaps she was secretly competing with herself.

She was thinking in a messy way.

Lin Chen had been talking to her sister Wanrou just now, without even looking at her much.

Is it... does he like the gentle and considerate sister more?

Just as she was letting her imagination run wild, a shadow suddenly loomed over her.

Before Xia Wanqing could react, a warm, strong hand reached out directly in front of her.

It grabbed her wrist without hesitation.

The temperature of his palm made her heart jump violently.

Wanrou, you play the second match with me.

Lin Chen first gave a calm instruction to the sister with the identical appearance beside him.

The next second, he looked down at Xia Wanqing, whom he was holding, his voice lowered but exceptionally clear:

Wanqing, you go first with me.

Ah?

Xia Wanqing stiffened completely.

She had been immersed in her own little emotions, and with Lin Chen's pull, she was brought directly to his side.

Half of her body was lightly leaning against his arm.

The sudden closeness made her mind go blank instantly.

He... he didn't choose her sister first.

Instead, he pulled her first.

Is it because... he likes her more?

Xia Wanqing's heartbeat skipped a beat, and her cheeks quietly flushed.

The low mood she had just been in was suddenly ignited, and sweetness surged up wildly.

He didn't play with her sister first, but pulled me to be with him.

This is... he prefers me more, right?

A piece of inner monologue that could be called self-PUA.

It played on a loop in her mind.
