Chapter 53: A Wingman Must Be A Wingman

Xiao Peng looked at Felix and replied seriously, "I met a deity when I was a kid, and this is what he taught me!"

Felix nodded vigorously after hearing this. "That's right, this is something only a god can do! You must have met a god! Master, you must teach me!"

Xiao Peng said in embarrassment: "But he told me that the trick here must not be told to a person named Felix Walter."

Felix's eyes widened. "Master, are you kidding me? I wasn't even born when you met God! How could he possibly know I exist?"

Xiao Peng laughed out loud: "You are so silly and cute, you believe this?"

Felix's face was filled with black lines: "Master, tell me quickly."

Xiao Peng said, "I can tell you how I did it, but from now on, my family needs a hardworking young man to do the housework. Who do you think this hardworking young man is?"

Felix simply raised his hand and said, "Deal!"

After the two high-fived, Xiao Peng revealed the answer: "Actually, your answer 'seven' was given by me."

"Huh?" Felix didn't understand what it meant.

Xiao Peng explained, "The questions I asked just now all involved the number 'seven'. Think about it: how many colors are there in a rainbow? Who is Snow White with? How many days are there in a week? That's why I've been telling you the number seven. This is a kind of psychological suggestion."

"Is it that simple?" Felix blinked.

"It's that simple!" Xiao Peng confirmed, "Don't forget to help me clean up from now on!"

Felix's face was filled with disappointment. "I thought this was something magical, but it turned out like this. This woman is so stupid, she was actually attracted by such a simple trick!"

Xiao Peng exaggerated after hearing this, "'Simple little trick'? Weren't you also very curious before I explained it to you? Everyone is curious! And I just used a series of tricks, do you think I only used this one?"

"What other tricks do you have?" Felix asked curiously after hearing this.

Xiao Peng explained: "Think back, have you never seen this woman before we came?"

Felix nodded.

Xiao Peng said, "Since she's a stranger, I definitely don't know what kind of man she likes. The only thing I know is that she can play the piano to a decent level. Am I right?"

Felix nodded again

Xiao Peng continued, "Felix, remember, you're the one in charge when it comes to picking up girls. You have to let the girl get into your groove! Look, why did I ask you to play the piano? Since she's a good pianist, even if she doesn't recognize you, she'll be drawn in by your music. If I take the opportunity to lecture you, she'll definitely be even more curious—women are curious creatures. In fact, she's even more curious than I thought. I was reading a book, playing it safe while observing her movements, preparing for my next move. Luckily, she was the one who couldn't resist and came over first."

Xiao Peng took a sip of coffee and said, "I used my book review to show off my erudition, my iced coffee to showcase my attentiveness, and my little trick to arouse her curiosity. I also showed off my humor... I just showed off so many of my strengths in such a short time. As for what kind of man she likes, does it really matter? As I said, you have to take the lead when it comes to picking up girls!"

Felix was astonished after hearing this and said sincerely, "Master, you must teach me!"

Xiao Peng grinned: "Actually, I used a trick just now. Can you guess what trick I used?"

Felix thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a conclusion. Xiao Peng prompted him, "Think about it. Julie clearly knew who you were, but why didn't she show much interest in you after chatting with you for a few sentences?"

Felix thought for a moment: "Because I'm too young?"

Xiao Peng shook his head. "It's very simple. Why did I scold you in the beginning? Wasn't it just to tell others: I'm much better than you! If this were in my hometown, someone might choose you, because in our culture, women mostly sympathize with the weak. But it's different here. Here, women worship the strong! Since I'm stronger than you, how could a woman be interested in you?"

Felix was so upset after hearing this that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time. After a while, he said with a look of resentment on his face, "Master, am I not your apprentice? How can you even betray your apprentice?"

Xiao Peng laughed heartily after hearing this. "Felix, this is an important life lesson for you: when it comes to picking up girls, there are no masters or apprentices. Every man is your rival! The one who is bold, careful, and thick-skinned, and who eliminates all competitors to gain the final victory, is the winner! That's right! Picking up girls is a life-or-death battle! Without this awareness, you won't succeed! What's your goddess' name? Hera, right? Pursue her with the awareness that you will die! Go for it, young man!"

Felix was silent for a long time before he said, "Master, are you teaching me how to pick up girls?"

"Of course!" Xiao Peng said.

"But why do I feel like you're using me as your wingman to pick up girls?" Felix asked back.

"Hey?" Xiao Peng laughed. "You even know about wingmanship? Not bad, not bad, you're aware! Think about it, how can I get close to that girl if I can't play the piano? Of course I'll use all the resources around me! Why did I bring you to the cafe? Just for this scene! Young man, if you want to pick up girls, you've grown up! Welcome to the adult world! A cruel and realistic world!"

Felix was probably a little depressed because he was being used as a gun, so he ran to the piano and started playing.

At this time, Bo Ke came over and sat opposite Xiao Peng: "Xiao, it turns out you are not as cruel as I thought."

Xiao Peng rolled his eyes at him. "Brutal? Can you even use a nice word? I told you, as long as you don't mess with me, I'm easy to get along with."

Boco curled his lips and said, "Felix doesn't think so."

"Why?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly, "Look at how cheerful the music he plays is!"

Boko blinked. "That piece of music is Beethoven's 'The Rage of Losing a Penny.' Are you sure he's trying to express joy? Maybe he's protesting because you're using the piano as a weapon!"

"Hey, this kid dares to protest!" Xiao Peng laughed: "What a cute guy!"

Bo Ke nodded and said, "But I have to say, Xiao, I just heard you talking. You are a very good education expert. You have quickly closed the distance between you and Felix. I think Felix will now truly treat you as a master. Your future children will surely have a happy childhood!"

“啊？”萧鹏一指菲利克斯：“你相信不，如果我有儿子才十三岁就敢说自己为情所困老子能活活揍死他！”

Boko: “…”
