"Alright then, let's go back to sleep," Jiang Hua said.

"Yeah, I'm tired after a long day. I'm so sleepy. Let's go, I miss my bed."

"..."

After Ji Kexin finished speaking, she went back to sleep with Jiang Hua.

After the call, Gu Yiming still felt guilty towards Jiang Hua because, due to their cross-school relationship, he had failed to fulfill the duties and responsibilities expected of a boyfriend.

He made Jiang Hua feel insecure.

Gu Yiming felt very sorry for Jiang Hua. He felt that he had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a boyfriend. He had not pampered Jiang Hua properly and decided that he would spend more time with his girlfriend in the future and pay more attention to Jiang Hua so that she would no longer feel insecure.

Gu Yiming tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, constantly thinking about how to do something romantic to make Jiang Hua happy. He didn't know what to do; he had never been in a relationship before, this was his first, so he was very nervous.

They arrived at six in the morning, and Gu Yiming finally fell asleep...

Gu Yiming was planning to visit Jiang Hua tomorrow and spend time with her. He was thinking about where to take her, what delicious food to eat, and what gift to prepare for her. Lost in thought, Gu Yiming was suddenly interrupted by his roommate who came to see him.

When his roommate entered the room and saw Gu Yiming there, he went over to him.

"Hey! What are you doing? What are you thinking about so intently?" Gu Yiming's roommate asked curiously.

Gu Yiming, however, remained lost in his own thoughts, seemingly oblivious to his roommate's words. This time, his roommate patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hey, bro, can't you hear me asking you a question?"

Gu Yiming then realized his roommate had arrived. If his roommate hadn't cleverly patted him on the shoulder, Gu Yiming might have been lost in thought for who knows how long.

"Oh, sorry. I was so engrossed that I didn't see you come back. What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly. Could you repeat it?" Gu Yiming said apologetically to his roommate.

My roommate said, "It's nothing. I just wanted to ask what you were thinking about. You were so engrossed that you didn't even see me come back. I bet it was something... you know what I mean?" My roommate grinned mischievously.

"No way! I mean, can't you be a little more naive? Do you think I'm that kind of person? I'm a gentleman, you know." Gu Yiming understood what his roommate meant and quickly explained.

His roommate completely ignored Gu Yiming's explanation and said firmly, "Judging from how determined you are, there must be a problem. Don't blame me for being a jerk." As he spoke, he patted Gu Yiming on the shoulder, as if to remind him.

Gu Yiming didn't have time to explain, and said indifferently, "Stop talking nonsense, believe it or not. I'm too lazy to explain to you."

Seeing that she couldn't get rid of Gu Yiming, her roommate gave up on bothering him. Then she remembered what she had come here for.

"Okay, okay, I didn't come to see you about that. I wanted to ask you a question." My roommate finally revealed the real purpose of his visit.

His roommate's arrival was perfectly timed. Actually, Gu Yiming also had a question he wanted to ask. He figured he might as well take this opportunity to ask his roommate, saving himself the trouble of bothering anyone else.

"Wait, before you ask me a question, I want to ask you one first. You'd better answer it properly, or I won't answer your question," Gu Yiming said with a smile.

My roommate readily agreed, replying, "No problem, go ahead and ask. I'd like to see what kind of questions you can come up with."

"Um... do you know how to make your girlfriend feel secure? Or, to put it another way, how to win a girl's heart?"

When his roommate heard that even this perpetually barren iron tree was asking about these things, he guessed that Gu Yiming had probably found a girlfriend or something. Although surprised, he still helped Gu Yiming analyze the situation.

"If you're talking about winning a girl's heart, that's easy. Most girls like flowers and all sorts of skincare and makeup products. But when it comes to making her feel safe, that's a bit of a problem," his roommate slowly told Gu Yiming.

"Troublesome? How so?" Gu Yiming asked.

"Because a sense of security isn't something you can build in a day or two; it requires long-term companionship and care. You need to make her feel loved and cared for at all times. You need to be able to protect her when she's in danger, and take care of her and be there for her when she's sick or uncomfortable," her roommate patiently explained to Gu Yiming.

Then, his roommate talked a lot about this topic, instructing Gu Yiming on how to handle certain situations, rambling on and on.

"Is it really that simple?" Gu Yiming asked again.

"It sounds simple, but sticking to it consistently is not as easy as you think," my roommate explained.

"Oh, I see. It seems it's quite difficult." Gu Yiming felt that his roommate's words made a lot of sense.

"You're such a stubborn person, why are you asking these things? Did you find a girlfriend outside?" His roommate, overcome with curiosity, couldn't resist asking Gu Yiming about his girlfriend.

"Hmm...I guess so," Gu Yiming replied.

"Why don't you introduce him to the guys?" my roommate pressed.

"An introduction is a must. I'll treat the brothers to dinner another day," Gu Yiming agreed.

“Okay. I’d like to see what kind of girl you look like that could make your heart flutter,” my roommate said.

"Oh right, didn't you have another question to ask me?" Gu Yiming suddenly remembered that his roommate had a question.

"Oh, right, I came here to ask if you wanted to play games together, maybe you could help me out. Looks like you're busy right now, so I guess I'll pass," my roommate said.

"That's true. I'm busy preparing for our outing tomorrow. Maybe next time. I'll definitely take you next time. How about that?" Gu Yiming said regretfully.

My roommate agreed, "No problem, don't forget what I taught you next time. Consider this a deal."

"I will definitely, I will never forget," Gu Yiming admitted.

After his roommate left, Gu Yiming started browsing online for information his roommate had mentioned—which skincare brands were good, which flowers were more appealing to girls, etc. Gu Yiming spent the entire afternoon looking at these things. His afternoon wasn't wasted; he learned a great deal. He had even already decided what to give Jiang Hua as a gift tomorrow.

It was getting late, so Gu Yiming decided to buy the gift today and give it to Jiang Hua tomorrow as a surprise. Thinking about this made Gu Yiming very happy. He was increasingly looking forward to tomorrow.

Gu Yiming quickly tidied himself up and prepared to go out to buy a gift. Before leaving, he didn't forget to check how far the place he was going was from here.
