"He's so handsome, aren't you even a little bit tempted, baby?"

Lu Yao stared straight into her eyes, finding it unbelievable that her precious daughter wouldn't be interested in such a handsome guy. It was strange.

“I…” Li Baobei felt a pang of sadness in her heart. “Fluttering heart? How could I not be fluttering heart? But I’m not good enough for him, and that’s not something I should be thinking about.”

He then said dejectedly, "We're not from the same world, it's impossible."

"Huh?" Lu Yao frowned, puzzled. "Is he a Martian? Or a Mercurian? Honey, when did you become so profound?"

“You don’t understand, Lu Yao. Take you for example. You and he are a perfect match, but I’m not.” Li Baobei’s face was slightly bitter, and a hint of pain appeared on her fair face, but she quickly hid it.

Lu Yao took a bite of spaghetti and asked, puzzled, "Honey, I don't know what you're thinking."

"Falling in love doesn't seem so difficult after all!"

Lu Yao's eyes darted around, then he suddenly realized and exclaimed, "You couldn't have not considered it because of your family backgrounds, could you?"

Everyone around looked over, and Lu Yao immediately realized that he had been too loud, so he quietly lowered his head.

He continued, "Is that really true?"

"Could you please keep your voice down, Lu Yao?" Li Baobei felt instantly embarrassed, a faint blush creeping onto her face. She stammered, "Maybe both! I don't think it's very likely that the two of us are compatible."

"No, no, no~" Lu Yao quickly interrupted her, "Anything is possible, baby, can you not be so insecure? Look at yourself."

"A top student who graduated from SS University, and so beautiful, what doesn't she deserve? Don't underestimate yourself! Your future is limitless."

"Anyone who dares to say she's not worthy, I'll be the first to confront her." Lu Yao said confidently, and Li Baobei felt a warmth in her heart.

But Li Baobei still felt that He Ji was a bit far-fetched. It turned out that when you really like someone, your first feeling is indeed inferiority.

"Stop talking, Lu Yao, let's see how fate brings us together~" Li Baobei cut a piece of steak and started eating. A little while later, the two finished eating and went downstairs to leave.

Guan Ye looked at He Ji with an ambiguous expression. The two of them had been listening to each other's whispers for a long time, but hadn't said a word.

"He Ji, you're no good either! I thought you two had been together for a while."

A glint of light appeared in He Ji's eyes. "So this is what she cares about?"

"But none of that matters! All I like is her as a person."

"I'm leaving." He Ji stood up, turned and left. Guan Ye quickly stood up and followed, continuing, "Hey... let this handsome guy give you a secret manual!"

"Otherwise, with your personality, you probably wouldn't be able to catch up with Li Baobei even in three lifetimes."

Guan Ye took out his phone and transferred his treasured document, "The Three Six Strategies of Love," to He Ji's account.

"Take a look more often, finding a partner isn't a dream, keep it up!" Guan Ye smiled contentedly, his beautiful eyes gazing at the sky. "The sky over our motherland is so beautiful~"

...

He Ji returned to his bedroom, intending to turn on his computer and continue working, when he saw the file Guan Ye had sent him. "Boring."

I continued to open my work account to review the documents, but I seemed a little distracted.

For some inexplicable reason, I clicked back into Guan Ye's chat interface and went straight to the point, clicking on "The Three Six Strategies of Love".

Chapter 1 One Hundred Topics to Chat About with Girls (1)...

Monday morning at 10:12.

Li Baobei sat pale-faced, the sharp pain in his lower abdomen making him restless.

"What bad luck! Why is my period so painful this month?" Li Baobei couldn't help but mutter to herself, knowing that no one else could understand her pain.

I remember seeing my roommate in college having to take painkillers to relieve her menstrual cramps; I never imagined I'd be in that situation myself.

The pain was excruciating; it felt like my lower abdomen was sinking as I took another step, with waves of cramping pain.

"I really can't take it anymore, I need to ask for leave."

She walked with difficulty toward He Ji's office; she thought she had seen He Ji at the company today.

Knock knock knock~

"Come in."

Li Baobei went inside, the pain in her lower abdomen continuing to irritate her, causing her to furrow her brow involuntarily.

He Ji looked up and saw that her fair face was slightly pale. He was secretly alarmed and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Should we go to the hospital?"

"No, Manager He, I'm not feeling well today. I'd like to ask for half a day off, is that alright?" Li Baobei looked at He Ji with a troubled expression.

He Ji: "Okay."

A faint smile appeared on her pale face. "Thank you," she said, then turned and walked out.

Li Baobei waited for the bus, and even a slight breeze seemed to intensify the pain in her lower abdomen. At that moment, she didn't want to move another step.

A familiar car was approaching, and Li Baobei was wondering what was going on when the car window slowly rolled down.

He Ji said calmly, "I'll take you."

"Huh?" Li Baobei was shocked again. She didn't expect that someone would drive her home after she took leave. She was so embarrassed.

The pain in her lower abdomen gradually intensified, and she didn't want to wait any longer, so she quickly got into the car.

Because of the persistent pain, she remained silent, and He Ji also quietly looked at the road ahead.

"Thank you, Manager He," Li Baobei said softly. At this moment, she had no strength left, feeling as if all the strength in her body had been drained away, leaving her weak and in excruciating pain.

With each sharp pain, her fair face would become slightly serious, and her eyes would involuntarily redden.
