394: Chapter 394 The price of secretly smelling Chanel's fragrance is having your name in my phone.

"Whoosh!"

Jiang You's face instantly turned red to the roots of his ears, and he entered a state of "overheating" in the literal sense!

"Don't use this to test a cadre!!!"

Jiang You let out a frantic, pig-slaughtering wail in his heart.

No matter how thick-skinned he was, or how much he liked to slack off, he was, at the end of the day, just an innocent male college student who had only been in one relationship!

Faced with this kind of direct, in-your-face flirting, his defense system instantly declared a collapse.

"Hiss! Sorry, I'll put you down right now!"

Panicked and flustered, Jiang You hurriedly loosened his arms, his movements as stiff as a rusted robot, and placed the girl in his arms steadily on the ground.

After putting her down, he retreated two large steps as if he had been electrocuted, his hands having nowhere to rest, and finally could only awkwardly rub his trouser seams.

Seeing Jiang You's flushed, flustered, and awkward appearance.

Qin Zhuo, standing opposite him, felt an unspeakable surge of ecstasy and triumph in her heart!

"Hahahaha! Gotcha!"

"I thought you, this peerless Great Demon King, were so unfathomable, but it turns out that beneath this invincible exterior, you're just an innocent little boy who blushes at the slightest flirtation!"

Fortunately, before she came, she had specifically read a few popular romance novels on the market. The words she just said were all imitated from the female lead in the novels, and they really worked!

The smile in Qin Zhuo's eyes grew deeper. She decided to press her advantage and completely win back the ground she had lost earlier.

Not only did she not retreat, but she took a small step forward, closing the distance between them once again.

As she approached, a faint, extremely high-class, elegant perfume scent quietly drifted into Jiang You's nostrils.

Qin Zhuo stood with her hands behind her back, tilting her head slightly.

The sunlight shone on her profile, outlining her perfect jawline.

She used those beautiful eyes that seemed to be able to speak to stare straight at Jiang You's evasive gaze, parted her red lips slightly, and said with a tone full of mockery and playfulness:

"What's wrong, classmate?"

"Why is your face so red? Are you shy?"

Qin Zhuo deliberately drew out her tone, her eyes and brows full of hooks: "You didn't sneak a sniff of my perfume while you were holding me just now, did you?"

Hiss!

Jiang You gasped, his scalp tingling.

This woman... this woman is too terrifying!

No! She's too good at this!

This is definitely a master whose skill level is off the charts!

Jiang You had spent years on the internet and was well-informed, but no matter how rich his theoretical knowledge was, it couldn't withstand the crushing pressure of real-life combat!

When he was dating Lin Ya, it was simply Lin Ya confessing to him, and then the two of them ended up together in a daze.

But looking at the girl pressing him step by step, Jiang You knew that if he didn't counterattack, he would really be reeled in like a fish by this little girl on the street today.

"Ahem!"

Jiang You clenched his hand into a fist, pressed it against his mouth, and coughed heavily twice, trying to forcefully break the suffocating, ambiguous pink bubbles surrounding them.

He forced a straight face, looked into the girl's eyes, and said solemnly:

"Classmate, I just felt... I feel like we've met somewhere before."

"You give me a very familiar feeling!"

Jiang You swore that when he said this, he was absolutely 100% sincere!

He really felt that this girl's voice and features had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and there was absolutely no intention of picking her up.

However.

These words, falling into Qin Zhuo's ears, instantly changed flavor.

Cliché! Too cliché!

What era is this? How is there still someone using "Have we met somewhere before" – that kind of ancient, cheesy pickup line – to hit on someone?

Qin Zhuo looked at Jiang You, who was trying to hide his embarrassment with a straight face, and felt that the boy in front of her actually had an inexplicable... gap moe?

That demon king aura of suppressing thousands of people on the competition field and regarding the heroes of the world as nothing.

And the innocent boy now who, because he was teased a couple of times, was anxious enough to use a cheesy pickup line to change the subject.

The two overlapping made the last bit of unhappiness in Qin Zhuo's heart vanish instantly.

Not only was she not bluffed by Jiang You's serious expression, but the playful smile on her face deepened even more.

Qin Zhuo stood slightly on tiptoe, leaned closer to Jiang You, her eyes shimmering:

"Yo? Jiang You, you're quite good at flirting, aren't you?"

"How many girls do you usually say this 'you look familiar' line to? You're so practiced at it?"

"You know me?"

Jiang You was stunned, his dead-fish eyes wide open.

He originally just wanted to find an excuse to end this conversation that made him blush, but he didn't expect the other party to call out his name!

Qin Zhuo looked at Jiang You's surprised expression, and the smile at the corner of her mouth could no longer be contained.

She stood with her hands behind her back, leaning forward slightly.

"Of course I do!"

Qin Zhuo's voice was light and clear, as if carrying the warmth of the sun:

"I've seen you on TV! You're a big celebrity now!"

"The favorite to win the Hundred Schools League, the peerless prodigy who suppressed the whole field with a single burst of blood energy—who in the Great Xia Martial Arts World doesn't know you?"

Saying this, a glimmer of cunning flashed in Qin Zhuo's eyes.

She straightened up, generously extended a fair, slender hand toward Jiang You, her smile so bright that it was impossible to refuse:

"I really didn't expect that the hero who just saved me from the out-of-control car was the legendary Jiang You!"

"I'm so lucky today!"

Qin Zhuo tilted her head slightly, her gaze sincere and carrying a hint of just-right anticipation:

"Classmate Jiang You, to thank you for saving my life... can we be friends?"

Sunlight, a breeze, falling leaves.

Plus the beautiful girl in school uniform right in front of him, smiling like a flower and taking the initiative to reach out her hand.

At this moment, the air on the sidewalk seemed to become sweet.

That ambiguous atmosphere that had been forcibly shattered, under Qin Zhuo's superb maneuvering, was not only re-established but directly pushed to a climax that made one's heart race!

However, faced with this high-level game that would be enough to make any normal male college student fall, Jiang You's Brain suddenly became a bit dazed at this moment.

This scene actually felt somewhat familiar...

Jiang You was dumbfounded.

He stared blankly at Qin Zhuo's fair hand, his dead-fish eyes fixed straight ahead, his Brain stopped working.

"Ding!"

A crisp notification sound rang out.

In the few short seconds before Jiang You could recover, Qin Zhuo had already quickly taken out her phone and naturally scanned the friend code on Jiang You's phone.

She even thoughtfully pressed the "Agree to Add" button for Jiang You.

The whole set of actions was smooth as flowing water, as silky as if it had been rehearsed thousands of times.

"Alright, classmate Jiang You, we are officially friends now."

Qin Zhuo shook the phone in her hand; the screen clearly displayed the chat interface showing the two had become friends.

She knew well the principle that "too much is as bad as too little."

Making friends must be done step by step; one must never appear too enthusiastic, otherwise, it is very easy to arouse the other party's vigilance, especially when facing this kind of "hidden Great Demon King."

Today's goal of "chance encounter plus contact information" had been perfectly achieved, she had brushed up enough presence, and it was time to stop while ahead.

"You seem to have things on your mind, so I won't disturb your walk."

Qin Zhuo stepped back half a step, hands behind her back, and winked playfully at Jiang You, her smile bright enough to melt ice and snow:

"Let's chat on our phones! Bye-bye!"

After saying this, Qin Zhuo turned around, stepped with a light gait, and like a happy lark, walked further and further away along the sidewalk.
