"Yeah, that's it. They still treat me the same way as before," Cao Bin said helplessly.

Just as Chu Yang was about to speak, his phone rang. It was a text message from Shen Li.

“Song Qingqing said she doesn’t have a boyfriend.” He read the text message aloud.

Cao Bin's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Chu Yang put his phone in his pocket: "I asked Shen Li to ask her, and that's what she said, but given the current situation, I advise you to cut your losses as soon as possible."

"You've given her quite a few things, haven't you? You've gone on several dates with her, and you paid for everything, right?" he asked again.

"Yes, I'm a boy, isn't this what I should do?" Cao Bin asked, puzzled.

“But it’s true that she hasn’t given you anything in return.” Chu Yang had already sensed something was wrong and felt that he couldn’t let Cao Laosan continue like this.

He said slowly, "To put it this way, if she didn't like you, she shouldn't have accepted your things in the first place, and she should have refused your dates and kept her distance to avoid you misunderstanding."

"If she likes you, she will accept your gifts and give you something in return, and may even tell you not to give her anything too expensive. In short, she will consider your feelings."

"But so far, it seems that Song Qingqing has not done that. Instead, she accepts all the kindness you show her without taking the initiative or refusing, and occasionally gives you ambiguous feelings to keep you hanging on."

Upon hearing this, Cao Bin's face turned ugly: "You, you mean, she's the one you were talking about before, the female sea queen?"

Chu Yang nodded: "It's basically confirmed. Unless you have the ability to win over the female sea queen, just give up. Don't hang yourself on a tree that won't bear fruit."

"Agreed!" Jiang Chao leaned over, put his arm around Cao Bin's shoulder, and said with a grin, "What's so great about women? We're both single, bro. If you're really that horny, I'll sleep with you!"

Cao Bin shook off his hand and laughed, cursing, "Get the hell out of here! I like women!"

Jiang Chao turned to Chu Yang: "Boss, your previous tricks weren't very effective. How about we use something more ruthless, like the ultimate technique?"

"The ultimate secret?" Chu Yang smiled and said, "Actually, it's quite simple."

Cao Bin and Jiang Chao listened attentively.

Chu Yang looked out the window, his gaze landing on the girls' dormitory building across the street, and said slowly:

"When a bird grows big, it can be found in any kind of forest."
