Chapter 15: First Comfort, Then Heartbreak



"If a girl is going to cry, she should cry on her bed, not squat on a busy street."

He Xie walked up to the girl and stopped. He gently took out a stack of crumpled tissues from his pocket and handed them to her, smiling as he gestured for her to wipe her tears.

The girl looked up at him.

Hmm, he's very handsome, so he's definitely not a bad person.

So she reached out and took the tissue, choking back tears as she whispered, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

He Xie smiled and sat down next to the girl as naturally as if they were old friends.

However, he didn't talk to the girl, but instead quietly opened the task panel and took a look.

"???"

He Xie was dumbfounded. How come it only increased by 1%?

Logically speaking, shouldn't it be a perfect score to offer a girl a tissue to wipe her tears, a gesture that exudes gentlemanly qualities?

Even if it doesn't increase by 20%, it should at least increase by 5% as a token gesture!

He Xie couldn't understand it.

[You're a warm guy, you love comforting girls, and you feel uncomfortable all over when you see a girl cry, like ants crawling on your skin. But because of your habitually sarcastic remarks, it often backfires.]

Is it a habitual sarcastic or mean-spirited person?

Does it often backfire?

Could these two points be the key to creating this warm and caring man persona?

He Xie was analyzing the situation in his mind.

At this moment, the girl beside him slightly raised her pretty face, her eyes slightly red, and looked at him, saying in a voice barely above a whisper, "Um... this tissue of yours seems to have a strange smell..."

Holy crap, that's gorgeous!

This was the first time He Xie had ever seriously examined a girl's face up close.

Upon seeing her stunningly beautiful face, which was almost breathtaking, I was immediately deeply shocked.

He was surprised to find that he was actually feeling a flutter in his heart.

The girl in front of him, her face streaked with tears, was the most captivating person he had ever seen in both his lives, far more beautiful than Lin Chuchu and An Ruoli.

How could such a beautiful girl be squatting alone on the roadside crying?

Shaving, and then picking up a high school girl?

Seeing He Xie staring at her blankly, the girl lowered her head shyly, a blush creeping onto her delicate face.

She felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at.

To break the awkward and embarrassing atmosphere, she had no choice but to speak again:

"Um... that stack of tissues you gave me smells a bit weird..."

He Xie regained his senses upon hearing the sound and explained to the girl with a smile, "Don't worry about the details. This tissue is what I used to wipe myself in the bathroom today. It's normal for it to have a bit of a smell. Don't mind it, just use it as is."

"rua!"

The girl almost vomited upon hearing this, feeling extremely disgusted.

Using leftover toilet paper to wipe a girl's tears?! Is this even human?!

[Contrast value from Su Jiu'er +100.]

He Xie glanced at the system notification and saw the girl's name.

Su Jiu'er?

Hmm, that's a very nice name.

His name truly reflects his character.

On the other side, the girl calmed herself down a bit.

She looked at the stack of tissues in her hand, wanting to throw them away with a look of disgust.

But then I wondered if doing this would be a bit impolite.

For a moment, he was at a loss.

Meanwhile, He Xie, who was squatting next to her, was looking at the character setting task panel deep in his mind, and he was extremely happy.

His words just now directly increased his "warm man" persona by 20%.

He finally understood how to improve the completeness of this "warm man" persona.

It's nothing more than comforting first, then disgusting, a mindset focused on achieving a goal.

And you can also earn some extra points from the contrast, killing two birds with one stone, how wonderful!

After understanding all of this.

He Xie began to actively engage in deeper conversations with the girl, trying to understand why she was squatting alone at the alley entrance, crying bitterly.

The girl was a little reserved at first.

But as time went on, she soon opened her heart completely.

We talk about everything and speak freely.

After a half-hour in-depth yet easy-to-understand conversation, He Xie finally learned the reason why the girl was crying.

It's all because of one boy.

No, to be more accurate, he's a scumbag.

The girl came from a poor mountain village. Her impoverished upbringing made her overly introverted, timid, and shy around strangers.

After dropping out of school last year, she came to Shanhai City alone to work and make a living. Everything she saw was new and exciting, and her eyes were full of light.

The fashionable clothes worn by urban girls on the street were truly dazzling to her, who had lived in the mountain village for more than ten years.

She also really wants to wear fashionable clothes, but unfortunately she just can't.

Because she was just a poor, lonely country bumpkin from a mountain village, she simply didn't have the means to buy those expensive clothes.

Faced with this stark contrast, she became increasingly distressed about her current life and grew more and more insecure.

Until a boy appeared, all of her problems were redeemed.

He was handsome and confident, exuding masculinity. He stood out like the sun in the crowd, instantly capturing her heart, which had never been filled with joy before.

Girls see boys as their last lifeline.

Thus, he changed his introverted nature, which he had maintained for eighteen years since birth.

Muster up the courage to approach the boy.

She boldly and passionately pursued him.

It's often said that it's easy for a woman to pursue a man, and that's certainly true.

In less than two days, the girl successfully won the boy's heart, and that very night she brought him the ultimate warmth.

But the next day, the boy simply disappeared from her side.

It was as if it had died, no longer existing in the world.

And today, the girl met the boy again.

Although his demeanor is different from when he was in a relationship before, his looks are still as dazzling as ever.

In particular, his masculine aura is still as pleasant as ever, making girls somewhat unable to resist.

What broke the girl's heart was that the boy seemed to have forgotten her.

I forgot her tenderness that night.

I forgot what she smelled like.

Not only that, he also frequently flirts with other girls, which makes him seem quite carefree.

This outcome was unacceptable to the devoted girl.

Unable to hold back any longer, she squatted down on the road the boy always took home and started crying, hoping he would notice her as he passed by.

Am I a complete loser, used by this scumbag from beginning to end?

The girl looked at He Xie with tear-streaked eyes and sobbed pitifully, "It's just to relieve loneliness for a while, and then I'll throw it away after I'm done, without any regrets."

Hearing the girl speak so rudely about him, He Xie gently comforted her with a word:

"Don't say that about yourself, you're not a loser..."

"Thanks."

"...Actually, you're just stupid, because trash has no value, only idiots do."

"???"

The girl was completely dumbfounded, her face filled with disbelief.

For a moment, I couldn't tell whether He Xie was comforting me or hurting me.

In stark contrast to the girl's bewilderment, He Xie was now happily checking the completion status of his character profile.

When I saw it jump to 50%, I was overjoyed.

He thought to himself, "I'm such a genius!"

Taking advantage of the pleasant atmosphere, he quickly added another comforting remark:

"Although you look a bit silly, you're cute, so you're still very lucky."

"Thank you... thank you."

The girl blushed from the compliment and buried her head between her legs, feeling incredibly hot and bothered.

After calming down for a moment, she asked in a soft voice, "Um... do you really think I'm cute?"

Without hesitation, He Xie replied, "Yes, I really think you're very cute..."

"Thanks."

"...A girl as cute as you, I could make at least ten of them cry with one punch!"

girl:"???"
