The methods of striking up a conversation by mistaking someone's name or reading their palm were prominently featured.

Shang Yanting smiled as he watched.

I found Jia Xitong's clumsy attempts to strike up a conversation laughable, but I also felt delighted by her actions.

How could she... how could she be so stupid?

And so cute.

Shang Yanting looked out the open door, feeling both joy and helplessness.

The joy was overwhelming, and he wanted to confront her directly with his book, but he was also worried that she would become angry and deny it outright.

In a short time

He put the book back as if by some strange impulse, and stood in the courtyard watching the setting sun as if nothing had happened.

"Host, dear?"

As soon as Jia Xitong entered, she saw him gazing into the distance with a deep, thoughtful expression. "Isn't the midday sun too bright for your eyes?"

To stare directly at the sun like that, you must have eyes of steel.

"My eye hurts a bit, it feels like something got in it, can you blow on it for me?" He lowered his head and closed his right eye slightly.

"ah?!"

Jia Xitong was taken aback when she heard this. "Come, come, let me take a look."

She quickly pulled him to sit on the recliner, used two fingers to pry open his eyelids, and gently blew air into his eyes, asking, "Did it come out?"

Shang Yanting: "It's still itchy."

Jia Xitong continued blowing, her cheeks puffing out.

The force was so strong that it brought tears to Shang Yanting's eyes. "Alright, alright."

He held her waist, blinking uncomfortably. "How are you feeling?"

How do I feel?

It wasn't you who got something in your eye.

She shook her head. "I don't feel anything."

There's a slight lack of oxygen.

"Thank you, Tongbao."

Shang Yanting reached out and ruffled her hair, saying softly, "There are still some miscellaneous matters to attend to at Tianyuan Hall. I'll be back this afternoon."

He walked with light steps, his whole being radiating an unusual joy.

As for Jia Xitong...

She was dizzy from lack of oxygen and didn't notice it for a while.

After Shang Yanting left, she lay back on the recliner, happily reached for the Love Manual, and opened the back pages.

Love Manual, Chapter 1: Creating an Ambiguous Atmosphere.

Oh no! Could you please check if there's sand in my eyes? They feel so uncomfortable. (Pretend your eyes are bothering you; if he agrees to check them, you're halfway there.)

Is this for real?

After reading the description above, Jia Xitong felt a sense of déjà vu.

Wasn't she just blowing on Shang Yanting's eyes?

There's no ambiguity, just dizziness.

Did the great minds who wrote this actually put it into practice themselves?

Jia Xitong suddenly realized this important question—are these dating guides based on the experience of experts, or are they just self-indulgent creations by a group of single people?

Sigh, pursuing someone is such a hassle.

She found that in situations like this, it was still necessary to find an experienced mentor.

Outside Mei Ji's large pool, Jia Xitong squatted down beside her and asked, "So, Teacher Mei, how did you manage to get Huo Rui?"

Mei Ji was taken aback by the question. "To be honest, there was no romantic process that brought us together."

At that time, she was merely a mermaid for people to admire. If Huo Rui hadn't rescued her, she would probably have been treated as a plaything long ago. When those people lost interest, she was treated as a commodity to produce pearls, refine fish oil, and even have her heart extracted.

She still remembers the first time she met Huo Rui.

He was arrogant and haughty, but in reality, he was extremely warm-hearted and took her back to care for her meticulously.

"If I had to explain how we got together... it was probably because of our true feelings."

Meiji smiled happily, a smile that made her less of a beastly seductiveness and more of a human tranquility. "He is truly good to me, and I truly cherish him. The most sincere emotion in the world is the impulse that comes spontaneously from the bottom of one's heart."

Jia Xitong listened with a mixture of understanding and confusion.

She truly loves him; the key is how to successfully confess her feelings and win Shang Yanting's heart.

never mind

Asking her is less helpful than praying to gods and Buddhas.

"Revered God of Talismans, do you know how to pursue someone?" She sat alone in the God of Talismans' Hall, looking at the statue above and talking to herself.

"I really like Shang Yanting, but I don't know how to pursue him."

"Sigh, judging from your appearance, you must have been a single... a single aristocrat before."

With so many single people in the world, why can't she be one of them?

Jia Xitong crossed her legs and suddenly started to slack off.

wrong.

Since the worst outcome is being single anyway, why not take a chance?

It's done. The Jia family will have one more member now.

It didn't work out, and she was just content with being a single person.

Either way, it's a win-win situation.

When I'm alone, I tend to overthink things, and the last thing I came up with was to confess my feelings to him!

Let's get right to it.

That afternoon, Jia Xitong went straight to Wanbaoge and found Liang Baoyu. "Liang, help me find the most beautiful and luscious roses."

"Rose?"

Liang Baoyu was stunned for a moment.

The continent of Aotian is rich in resources, but it does not include roses.

What flowers do you give to someone you like here?

"The last days of spring are gone."

Without a second thought, Liang Baoyu blurted out, "The flowers of Lanwei are large and vibrant, charming and graceful. They bloom at the end of spring, which is similar to the meaning of the last cup of Lanwei. This is the most suitable gift for someone you have a crush on, representing your love at first sight and unwavering sincerity."

"This is it!"

Jia Xitong was resolute and extremely decisive.

"Those were flowers at the end of spring; it's already the height of summer."

Liang Baoyu thought her words were a pipe dream, "The timing is wrong, where am I supposed to find you some 'Greasetail Flower'?"

"I have money."

Jia Xitong patted her little pocket and said, "Liangzi, haven't you heard that money can make the devil turn the millstone? It's just a little bit of trinkets. Can you take the trouble to get it for me? My happiness in the future depends entirely on you."

What does happiness and joy have to do with flowers for a little raccoon like you?

Liang Baoyu was completely baffled.

But Liang Baoyu still agreed.

"Give me some time, I'll help you look for it."

"Hehehe, Liangzai is the most reliable. I knew you were the most dependable."

Upon hearing this, Jia Xitong showered Liang Baoyu with compliments, saying, "Price is no problem. Find me the biggest and freshest one. Ideally, it should be big enough to fill a whole Sumeru talisman."

"……OK."

Liang Baoyu nodded.

"Could you speed things up a bit? I'm in a hurry."

She feared that if the time dragged on too long, her initial enthusiasm would wane, and eventually be exhausted.

"knew."

Liang Baoyu nodded slightly, "I'll notify you immediately with a sound transmission talisman once the item is found."

"Liangzi, you really are my best friend."

The raccoon patted his shoulder with its furry paw. "By the way, do you have any nice scented candles here? And could you also help me find some romantic decorations?"

Something transparent and sparkly will also work.

When it comes to confessing your love, you should take the romance to the extreme.
