Tips for Flirting with Women from My Best Friends

Cheng Xinran asked the waiter again to confirm when the food they ordered would be served. Only then did she have time to sit down quietly and tell Su Xiyan what she was thinking.

"Xiyan, since when have you become so impatient?"

Su Xiyan's eyebrows raised slightly: "I have always been straightforward, taking action as soon as I think of something."

"So, cut the nonsense. Did you bring what I wanted?"

Cheng Xinran took out a black USB drive from her small bag and placed it mysteriously on the table:

"Here it is."

"Inside is the time-tested and undefeated pick-up artistry guide that I have treasured for years."

Pick-up artistry?? Su Xiyan's face reddened slightly, but fortunately her emotional control was quite strict, so Cheng Xinran did not notice her discomfort.

Su Xiyan was about to reach for the USB drive, but Cheng Xinran's little hand pressed it down on the table, a look of doubt flashing across her cute round face:

"Xiyan, let me ask you again! This USB drive contains pick-up artistry guides! Are you sure you want to pick up guys?"

Su Xiyan thought for a moment and nodded: "More or less!"

Cheng Xinran: "What do you mean more or less? Xiyan, you're so beautiful, like the moon in the sky. How many boys are gazing up at you! Do you still need to pick up guys?"

"What kind of guy is so charming? It wouldn't happen to be Chen Shuo you live with, would it?"

"But from head to toe, he doesn't seem like your type at all!"

Su Xiyan's hand resting on the table trembled slightly at the fingertips, then calmed down again.

"I'm not sure if I really like him, let alone love him."

"I just know he belongs to me. I won't allow anyone else to covet him."

"Also, he can only stay by my side, he can't leave."

Imagining the scene after Chen Shuo left, Su Xiyan unconsciously clenched her hand into a fist.

Cheng Xinran sighed as she looked at Su Xiyan with her clear eyes, and handed the USB drive to her:

"Okay! Your situation is really different from what I usually encounter. But this pick-up artistry guide should be quite useful to you."

"I've organized it all for you! Follow what I wrote step-by-step from the beginning, and take it slowly."

"With my pick-up skills, plus your stunning looks, I'd like to see how long Chen Shuo can hold out."

Cheng Xinran's eyes flashed with meaningful laughter: "He wouldn't be able withstand a single move, would he?"

Su Xiyan: "Then it wouldn't be interesting."

Cheng Xinran looked at her best friend in disbelief: "Xiyan, are you really going to try to win over Chen Shuo?"

"Although I trust your judgement, you're a complete beginner when it comes to relationships."

"Just now, you said you don't even understand what love is."

"Xiyan, you have to think it through carefully!"

Su Xiyan grabbed the USB drive in her palm and put it back in her bag.

Just then, the waiter started serving the dishes.

The delicious food finally shut up Cheng Xinran's chattering mouth.

Just as Su Xiyan was about to start eating, her phone rang.

The caller ID displayed on the phone resting on the table showed it was Chen Shuo. "Your little puppy is calling you," Cheng Xinran said.

Su Xiyan was about to answer but Cheng Xinran stopped her.

Cheng Xinran shook her finger: "Xiyan, you have to remember, even though you're strong, you're still a girl. You can't just pick up whenever he calls."

"You have to make him long for you a bit, test his patience, so he'll be itching to talk to you and answer your call."

Cheng Xinran sounded very knowledgeable. Su Xiyan's obsidian eyes shone with puzzlement, like gems.

Would what she said really work? Su Xiyan started having doubts, but Cheng Xinran looked cute and innocent on the outside while being a boy killer on the inside.

When it came to relationships, Su Xiyan really was a blank slate without any experience.

She should just listen to Cheng Xinran!

Su Xiyan didn't answer Chen Shuo's first call.

Cheng Xinran blinked: "It's time to witness the miracle."

"If he cares about you, he'll call again right away."

Su Xiyan asked: "But if it was something urgent, wouldn't Chen Shuo call a second time anyway? You can't use that to judge whether he cares about me or not."

Before she could finish speaking, just as Cheng Xinran predicted, Chen Shuo did call again right away.

Cheng Xinran let it ring for a while before signaling Su Xiyan to answer.

As soon as she picked up, Chen Shuo cut straight to the chase: "Su Xiyan, why didn't you answer my call earlier?"

Su Xiyan maintained her cold tone: "What law says I have to answer your calls?"

"Go on, what did you call me for?"

Chen Shuo: "I...forgot after you interrupted me."

Su Xiyan: "If you've forgotten then don't mention it! In the future if you have something to say, think it through clearly before calling me."

After saying that, Su Xiyan hung up.

Cheng Xinran had been eavesdropping closely by Su Xiyan's side the whole time to listen in on her conversation with Chen Shuo.

Delight shone in her round eyes: "See, Xiyan? Am I right? He didn't actually have anything important, he just wanted to call you. Especially when you didn't answer the first call, he seemed anxious on the second one, didn't he?"

"He called but had no urgent business, yet his tone was very urgent."

"In summary, Chen Shuo is also interested in you! But boys mature slower, and aren't as emotionally sensitive as girls. He must be very conflicted now, not knowing how he should confess to you. Or maybe he still doesn't even realize he likes you."

Cheng Xinran sounded very knowledgeable. Su Xiyan couldn't help retorting: "Xinran, just from a few short sentences you can analyze so many inner thoughts and feelings? It'd be such a waste of talent if you didn't become a psychological consultant."

Cheng Xinran was quite proud: "Did you forget Xiyan? I majored in psychology in university! I have a very accurate grasp of these boys' minds!"

Now that she put it that way, what Cheng Xinran said did seem to make some sense.

Su Xiyan asked: "In that case, should I just ask him directly??"

Cheng Xinran: "...Of course not! Xiyan, you're a girl, okay?"

"Can't girls act a little more girly? The boy should take the initiative!"

Su Xiyan: "But other than making me angry, he doesn't seem to show any other intentions."

Cheng Xinran's eyes sparkled as she turned over ideas in her mind: "No need to speak directly, but you can drop hints!"
