Chapter 112: Growing More Reckless

Xie Xu saw those four characters and didn’t hesitate. He immediately sent a 200-yuan red envelope, adding a single word: “Speak.”

Bai Beixing accepted the red envelope and replied, “Brother Xu, you’re too kind. Listen to me…”

Then Bai Beixing sent a thirty-second voice message.

After a while, another fifty-second voice message followed.

Bai Beixing said, “Trust me, you won’t go wrong.”

Xie Xu stared at the two voice messages for a few seconds, then glanced up at the teacher on the podium, passionately explaining the lesson. Calmly, he reached into the desk hole, took out his earphones, and put them on.

Turning up the volume, he played the messages one after another.

As he listened, he couldn’t help but wonder: They’re both in class, so why does the guy dare send voice messages?

Is this guy getting bolder?

“You know what she likes, right? For example, if she likes food, buy her a bunch of her favorite snacks. If she likes to play, take her to fun places. Just start from her hobbies; that will probably cut her anger in half. Then apologize properly, and the matter will be settled.”

“By the way, Xie Xu, don’t cling to your man’s pride. For love, what’s pride? If you need to apologize, you must apologize! And about the hobbies I mentioned—if you don’t know them, bribe one of her close girlfriends; they definitely know. After she calms down, find chances to invite her out. Forget personality and temper— with your good looks, it’s hard for any girl not to be drawn to you. Just ask her out a few times, and bit by bit, it’ll work out. That’s how I chase girls, it’s that simple.”

After listening, Xie Xu fell silent for a moment, unable to help but doubt in his heart: Is Lu Yiqi really that easy to woo? Did I ask the wrong person?

Well, no harm in trying.

Anything is better than doing nothing.

What does Lu Yiqi like?

From their time together, Xie Xu was sure she liked food, but beyond that, he was clueless.

Better ask Chen Ziyi.

So, Xie Xu entrusted this difficult yet “honorable” task to He Shi, euphemistically saying, “I can’t ask about your future girlfriend, so you go ask.”

He Shi was helpless: But isn’t it kind of awkward for me to ask about your future girlfriend’s preferences?

…

When Chen Ziyi heard He Shi ask what Lu Yiqi liked, she immediately became wary: “What are you up to? Brothers’ wives are off-limits, He Shi. Stop your dangerous ideas.”

He Shi was baffled: “You’re the one who should stop having dangerous ideas! I’m asking for Brother Xu!”

Hearing Xie Xu’s name, Chen Ziyi instinctively glanced around and finally exhaled in relief.

Thankfully, Lu Yiqi hadn’t come back yet.

She said, “What, Xie Xu finally figured it out? He’s coming to ask me about Yiqi’s hobbies to apologize?”

“Exactly. Keep it down, though. Brother Xu’s too proud—if he hears this, it’ll be bad.”

“Oh.” Chen Ziyi thought for a moment, then leaned closer. “Our Yiqi is a foodie. She wants to try everything.”

“What about other hobbies? Anything else?”

“Other stuff…” Chen Ziyi pondered for a long time. “I think she told me she’s always wanted to try an escape room, but she couldn’t find anyone to go with her. The last time we talked, she promised me that if we had the chance, we’d gather a few people to play an escape room together.”

“I see. Got it, thanks.”
