58: Chapter 58 Girls aren't meant to be chased!

Looking at the two expectant faces in front of him, Zhao Yang was momentarily speechless.

He rolled his eyes at them in annoyance.

"Look at how pathetic you two are!"

"Hehe, Brother Yang, we really are quite pathetic."

Wang Mian gave a shy smile.

"Yeah, Brother Yang, we worked so hard to get into university; we've got to find a decent girlfriend and enjoy life, right?"

"After all, we're still virgins!"

Li Tianqi's expression became even shier.

Looking at his two roommates, Zhao Yang was completely at a loss for words.

Damn it!

"Alright, you're embarrassing yourselves. Let's go back to the dorm first, and I'll tell you there! Out here... if you're not embarrassed, I certainly am!"

Zhao Yang said to his two roommates crossly.

"You got it!"

The two roommates' eyes lit up instantly, and they spoke with excitement.

After returning to the dormitory.

"Actually, girls aren't meant to be chased."

Zhao Yang began to impart some experience from his past life, speaking in a slow and deliberate manner.

"Then what should we do? Are we supposed to let girls chase us instead?"

Li Tianqi looked at Zhao Yang in confusion and asked.

"Exactly!"

Zhao Yang smiled.

"That's it! Let the girls chase us!"

"Huh?"

Li Tianqi and Wang Mian's eyes were full of bewilderment. Sun Xu, who had been quiet all along, also looked at Zhao Yang with curiosity.

He said somewhat hesitantly.

"But Brother Yang, most of us don't have your abilities or your good looks. Girls shouldn't be so blind as to chase us, right?!"

Sun Xu's sudden interjection.

Made the other three in the dorm all turn their gazes toward him at once.

"Why is everyone looking at me..."

Sun Xu said sheepishly; his personality was still quite shy, and he wasn't used to being stared at like that.

"Hahaha! Ah Xu hit the nail on the head!"

Zhao Yang smiled slightly, looking at his three roommates.

He said calmly.

"The key to 'chasing' girls isn't actually in the word 'chase'!"

Zhao Yang continued unhurriedly.

"You need to use different methods for different girls, but there's one rule: you must never be a simp!"

Zhao Yang said seriously.

"Brother Yang, what's a 'simp'?"

Li Tianqi asked curiously.

The term 'simp' hadn't really appeared around 2008, and the concept hadn't evolved much; only the term 'Nice Guy' had a somewhat similar meaning.

"A simp, as the name suggests, is someone who does everything possible to pester a girl, satisfying her every whim and spending money on her recklessly."

"That's a simp! In this dormitory, being a simp is absolutely forbidden! Do you understand?"

Hearing Zhao Yang's words, the confusion on Li Tianqi and Wang Mian's faces deepened.

There was no helping it; in this day and age, that was how everyone chased girls. How else were they supposed to do it?

Doesn't the saying go, 'A persistent man can win over any woman'?

If you don't pester a girl, how could you possibly end up with her?

Isn't that how it's portrayed in movies and TV shows?

The male lead persistently pursues the female lead, constantly fulfilling her every wish, and in the end, they live happily ever after.

That's how TV dramas do it!

That's how most people's characters are shaped!

"That's wrong! Absolutely wrong!"

Zhao Yang said bluntly.

"No one is allowed to chase girls like that. You should approach it with the idea of equality between men and women, or rather, attracting them!"

"You need to have a distinct personality! Have your own abilities and skills, whether it's singing, playing the guitar, or performing magic tricks."

"Once you have a specialty, you need to show it off. As long as your talents are displayed and your personality is good enough, you'll see just how proactive girls can be!"

Hearing Zhao Yang's words, all three of them looked thoughtful.

"Also, remember! When chatting with a girl, you must leave room for more! Don't say everything all at once!"

"No matter how much you like a girl, don't let her feel that you like her that much!"

"At most, let her feel like you might be a bit interested! You'll have to gauge the exact degree yourselves! In short! Don't let yourself come across as a creep or a man with high neediness!"

Zhao Yang gave a general overview of his experience.

He didn't tell them everything, but even this was enough for them to digest for a long while.

"Alright, I'm going to take a shower!"

With that, Zhao Yang took his clothes and went to the shower, leaving the three of them behind in deep thought.

Meanwhile, in the girls' dormitory.

When Gu Qing stepped into the dorm.

Wang Ting was sitting at her desk.

Seeing Gu Qing enter, Wang Ting said with a sneer.

"Oh, Qingqing is back! What's the matter? Didn't go to dinner with Zhao Yang? Hilarious! I was wondering why you were so unhappy about me chasing Zhao Yang!"

"Turns out you wanted to be with him yourself! And yet you put on an act like you were doing it for my own good!"

Wang Ting spoke in a sarcastic, biting tone.

Gu Qing frowned slightly.

Before she could speak.

Mei Lin, standing nearby, quickly interjected.

"Tingting, how can you say that! Qingqing never said she hated or liked Zhao Yang!"

"And Qingqing never said you couldn't chase Zhao Yang either! You're taking this a bit too far!"

"She didn't say it directly! But her every word implied that I'm not good enough for Zhao Yang! She basically implied that only she is worthy! I..."

"Enough!"

Wang Ting wanted to say more.

But Gu Qing's gaze had turned icy cold.

"Who I like and who I eat with is none of your damn business! Just because you like Zhao Yang, I'm not allowed to like him or eat with him? Who do you think you are? His girlfriend?"

"You!"

Wang Ting was left speechless by Gu Qing's retort, her breath hitching in her throat.

"Alright, alright, everyone calm down. Let's not ruin the dorm atmosphere over a guy!"

Mei Lin was still trying to play the peacemaker.

Gu Qing sat back down at her desk indifferently.

The atmosphere in the girls' dorm reached a freezing point!

Unaware of what was happening in the girls' dorm, Zhao Yang headed straight for the Library after eating with his roommates.

This time, his three roommates followed him there.

Zhao Yang began to organize the final part of his thesis.

Meanwhile, those two idiots, Li Tianqi and Wang Mian, also started looking for books related to their major, seemingly taking Zhao Yang's words to heart.

They wanted to rely on a "specialty"—like having more profound knowledge—to impress the girls in their class. Zhao Yang offered no comment on their behavior.

As for Sun Xu, his goal was much simpler.

He was studying with incredible vigor.

Phew!

Zhao Yang let out a long breath.

His gaze turned to the computer screen.

He had just finished the submission, sending his thesis to the editorial email of the journal analog integrated circuit and signal processing.

Based on Zhao Yang's past experience, there should be a reply in about ten to fourteen days; until then, he just had to wait.
