Upon hearing this,
Xu Shuai and Li Longlong couldn’t help but prick up their ears, though they pretended to remain indifferent on the surface.
"Chasing girls is actually quite simple. First, you must have enough patience—persist relentlessly, pursue her passionately, and never fear setbacks or hardships."
As the words landed,
Xu Shuai and Li Longlong instinctively straightened their postures, showing respect while nodding subtly in agreement.
Seeing their approval, Huang Fei could barely suppress the smug grin threatening to split his face. Clearing his throat lightly, he continued, "Of course, that’s just the first step."
"The second step is even more crucial: sending morning, noon, and night greetings without fail. You must maintain your presence in your goddess’s mind. Then comes the gifts and surprises—keep the novelty flowing. That’s the key!"
Hearing this, Xu Shuai and Li Longlong exchanged glances of sudden understanding before nodding solemnly. "Absolutely, Brother Huang. That part’s vital."
"Presence keeps her thinking of you, and novelty is like... a form of flirting?"
Huang Fei paused, surprised by their interpretation. But hearing it spelled out, he couldn’t help but nod approvingly, acknowledging their insight. "The third step is the most critical in pursuing a girl."
"Once you’ve established your presence, start asking her out—relentlessly. Even if she rejects you, keep trying. Girls are shy; if she softens and agrees to one date..."
A confident smirk curled his lips. "Congrats, you’re already halfway there!"
He thumped his chest. "Relax, with us veterans as your wingmen, no matter how tough the girl is—two words: [Mission accomplished!]"
Watching Huang Fei’s bravado, Long Aotian inhaled sharply. This ‘simp doctrine’ is so intense even a cuck would hand him a cigarette and call him ‘Big Bro’!
But when he glanced sideways, he found Xu Shuai and Li Longlong nodding with dead seriousness—their eyes even gleaming with camaraderie toward Huang Fei?
What the actual hell?
Whether Long Aotian enjoyed this was unclear, but Huang Fei and the others were clearly riding a high.
"Who knew we’d vibe so well? Come on, my treat—let’s hit the skewer stand!" Huang Fei declared, waving grandly.
Neither Li Longlong nor Xu Shuai objected. Having arrived earlier, they already knew Huang Fei came from money.
Being dormmates who clicked so well, there was no reason to hesitate—after all, they’d likely spend the next four years together.
Long Aotian had no complaints either. This is the college life I’ve dreamed of!
They headed to the off-campus food street.
The start of semester meant every spot was packed. Only after reaching the far end did they snag a table.
"A jug of draft beer, skip the flatbreads, buns, and sweets on the menu—just bring ten of every other skewer."
After downing half a mug in one go, they all exhaled a satisfied "Ha!"
Their brotherhood was cemented with that first shared swig.
Long Aotian let out a long breath too.
Back at Haiwan No.1 High School, his reputation had been trash. Even after turning things around, few wanted anything to do with him.
Here, in a fresh start where pasts were unknown, the freedom to speak openly left him lighter—his mindset shifting subtly.
The funniest part? They still hadn’t dropped their mission to teach him romance.
"Brother Long, you’ve no idea how dire the single rate is these days. Lucky for you, we’re pros—otherwise you’d miss out on campus love’s magic!"
Long Aotian chuckled silently. Well, chasing love is just humans seeking beauty, after all.
Then—
His phone buzzed.
A text from Hu Yuying:
"Long-ge, my roommates are great. How about you?"
"Qingxue and I are in opposite dorms—me on 3rd floor, her on 2nd."
"Long-ge, can I come see you?"
Amused, Long Aotian eyed his tipsy, boastful friends and replied: "My roommates are cool too."
"You don’t know the way. I’ll visit when I’m free."
Hu Yuying fired back instantly: "Qingxue’s with me—we know the route."
Cornered, Long Aotian admitted he was at dinner with the guys.
They’d originally planned to eat together that evening after parting at the subway station.
Predictably, Hu Yuying’s replies stopped dead.
Then—a voice message. Li Qingxue’s accusatory tone blared: "Long Aotian, you liar! We agreed on dinner tonight!"
Unlike Hu Yuying, Li Qingxue wasn’t easily placated. Long Aotian could already envision her harping on this for weeks.
He was about to deflect when—
Huang Fei, two beers deep, jerked upright. "Huh? A girl’s voice? I definitely heard a girl."
"Wh—where?" Xu Shuai squinted drunkenly.
"Yep, something about ‘liar’... and damn, she sounded cute," Li Longlong added with a sleazy grin.
Long Aotian’s eye twitched. "Isn’t this reaction a bit much?"
A self-styled ‘love sage,’ a ‘romance knight,’ and a ‘seduction king’—and this is their game?
The trio simply raised their mugs in unison, smirking. "You wouldn’t understand."
Their absurdity didn’t annoy Long Aotian. Instead, he found it hilariously entertaining.
——
Meanwhile, Hu Yuying’s mood sank.
Tomorrow marked the semester’s start. If she couldn’t see Long-ge now, she’d likely have to wait until after military training.
"Long Aotian’s missing out—no two beauties keeping him company," Li Qingxue huffed, nudging the despondent Hu Yuying. "Hey... you seem really attached to him."
"Long-ge’s always looked after me," Hu Yuying murmured.
"Yeah, I can tell. He treats you so well."
"He does, always."
Countless times, she’d noticed his pulse quicken around her, the way his ears reddened unconsciously...
His emotions did stir for her...
Yet more often—restraint.
She sensed it too: Long-ge seemed to hold back, as if guarded by an invisible wall...
【It feels like it's getting colder later than usual this year in our area. How about where you are? I wonder if we'll get any snow this winter.】

ress Kneels to Admit Wrong] [Dealing with Love-Struck Fools] [Forced to the Throne] Ren Tianye transmigrated into a female-oriented novel world, only to find everyone in it was utterly insane. He risked his life to save a young girl from barbarians, but was accused of arriving too late and branded the real murderer. He held a knife to a military officer's neck, demanding the troop tally, but the officer only cared about questioning his wife: "Do you not love me anymore? All these years of affection and time together, they were all a mistake, a mistake!" After seizing Yunji City, the original defending general, to save face with the Empress, knelt on the ground: "You must give Yunji City back to me, or I'll hang myself at the city gate and let everyone know you're a villain!" The young lord of the Duke's mansion, to please a woman, directly ordered a merchant: "The menstrual pads you buy for her must be studded with diamonds. Loving her means giving her the best." Having become a great general, he was about to marry a merchant's daughter, who set a pre-nuptial rule: "I can divorce you anytime. When that happens, you must give me half of your troops and soldiers!" Even the Empress was a severe love-struck fool, who ordered the execution of 70,000 elite troops simply because they stood in the way of her romance. Ren Tianye was speechless. He was done.

] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
