"Kumu, you old bastard, you've ruined me! If she tells her mother, I'm finished! My mother will beat me to death!"

Kumu smiled, pried open the two hands that seemed to want to kill him, and laughed.

"Don't worry, you did a great job. You've made a deep impression on her. I'm sure she'll be thinking about you so much tonight that she won't be able to sleep!"

Su Cheng was furious.

"Nonsense! If I were in that situation, I'd be so angry I couldn't sleep either!"

"Then comes the second step! To continue this longing!"

Everyone in Suzhou was dumbfounded. This guy was still clinging to his memories, wasn't smashing the jade pendant enough?

How are you going to bully her this time? Will you break her hairpin? Or smash her bracelet?

"No, brother, you're my own brother. Can you please stop with your terrible ideas?"

"No, no, no, you must have misunderstood. This time you should apologize to her. Just say that you had an emergency last time about the jade pendant. You won't renege on your promise; you will compensate her."

"That jade pendant must have been expensive, right? I'm grounded and I haven't gotten any pocket money!"

Ku Mu ate his food with a calm expression; the two of them were good buddies!

"You're overthinking it. You can't afford to pay for it. That was left to her by her fox grandmother; it's priceless."

"What a terrible thing to do! Kumu, I'll fucking kill you!"

"Don't panic. You may not have money to lose, but you can at least compensate people, right?"

"ah?"

Then Kumu said with a serious expression, "This time you go to apologize to her, not for the jade pendant, but for her as a person."

"You need to tell her that you are a responsible man, someone she can rely on, and that you won't renege on your promises!"

Su Cheng was stunned. Hey... it seems to make sense. He thinks he understands a little!

"Then what? Even if I don't renege on my debt, I still can't afford to pay it back!"

"It's just a delaying tactic. You must know what a delaying tactic is. After that, you can use the jade pendant to get closer to her."

"How do we do it?"

Kumu feigned profundity and said, "Since it's a priceless treasure and you can't afford to lose it, why don't you make a new one?"

"Then you'll have a reason to go see her, and you'll have something to talk about. Ask her about the jade pendant, its story, its meaning, its material, its carving..."
