Gu Bin slapped his forehead and said worriedly, "That's right! How could I not have thought of that? What do we do now?"
Xie Yan rolled her eyes so hard they were practically pointing to the sky.
"Why didn't you think of this sooner?"
Xie Yan looked at Gu Bin with a helpless expression, and said in disbelief, "You didn't even think about this before?"
Gu Bin said seriously and confidently, "I was only thinking about how she had just arrived and urgently needed these things. I was focused on being good to her and didn't think about anything that far ahead!"
Xie Yan was speechless for a moment after hearing this. Looking at Gu Bin, she asked in confusion, "Could it be that I'm too narrow-minded and have underestimated their pure feelings?"
But cooking like this is really not like Gu Bin's usual way of doing things!
Can love really change a person?
Seeing Xie Yan's suspicious expression, Gu Bin lowered his head slightly, his tone revealing a hint of helplessness, and revealed the truth: "Actually, I originally thought of keeping it from her for now, and waiting for her to realize that I've been silently making sacrifices behind the scenes. Then, this surprise would be more likely to win her favor!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Yan was shocked, his eyes widening in disbelief: "Huh?"
We were so careless!
He was too naive; he almost believed that Gu Bin was just a simple-minded, dull-witted young man who was clumsy with words and inflexible when it came to relationships.
I never expected this! I never expected that someone would have such a cunning mind.
He glanced at Gu Bin with a look of disdain and said, "Well, Gu Bin, you're quite the hidden talent! Still trying to impress me!"
"They're afraid I'll make a sound when I walk!"
Gu Bin shrugged nonchalantly, "Didn't I tell you? How can you say I'm faking it?"
Xie Yan was speechless. "Don't you feel guilty saying that?"
Gu Bin shook his head, "I'm not guilty! What's there to be guilty about!"
Xie Yan shook his head helplessly, "Fine! You're shameless, I can't compete." He then advised, "Since you can think of so many twists and turns, haven't you considered what would happen if Xiao Hui were snatched away by someone else during this time?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Bin sighed heavily and said regretfully, "Alas, it was my oversight! It's the first time I've liked someone, and I was a little careless."
Xie Yan glanced at him sideways and said earnestly, "When pursuing girls, you should use fewer tricks and show more sincerity. Take my advice, if you want to win Xiao Hui's heart, you'd better act quickly. A girl as good as Xiao Hui must have no shortage of suitors. If someone else beats her to it, you'll have nowhere to cry later."
This was the first time Gu Bin had heard this. Although it seemed to make some sense, he remained skeptical.
After all, he learned this trick from the older brother in the compound. That guy was really something; he not only got married early, but he also married the most beautiful girl in the compound.
He once said, "The most important thing for girls is to use tricks. As long as the tricks are deep, no one can escape the palm of your hand."
"Moreover, there's an art to this approach. It's not the most basic kind; it's a complex one, where sincerity is interwoven with strategy. That's what truly touches a girl's heart."
Moreover, that guy lived a very comfortable life after getting married, all thanks to his tricks.
Therefore, Gu Bin was skeptical of Xie Yan's words.
But Xie Yan spoke with such certainty that Gu Bin began to have doubts. He couldn't help but question, "You've never been in a relationship or pursued a girl, so what makes you think you're right?"
Xie Yan was caught off guard by the question. He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer: "I...I..."
He was speechless!
Yes, he really doesn't have much experience in pursuing girls. How do you explain that?
Are you suggesting he admit he was a girl?
Did he dig a hole for himself?
Xie Yan took a deep breath, a cold smile spreading across his face, his tone completely indifferent, "Believe it or not! So what if you've never pursued anyone? It's not illegal! It's your own business, worry about it yourself."
"Keep using those useless tricks to pursue me, let's see if you can catch up!"
Seeing Xie Yan's embarrassed and angry expression, Gu Bin found it both novel and amusing, but his actions didn't falter for a moment. He quickly reached out and grabbed Xie Yan, smiling broadly as he tried to appease him: "Oh, I didn't mean that at all, I definitely didn't mean to look down on you."
"I'm in a hurry, you know. Xiaohui is such a good girl. If I don't hurry, what if someone else snatches her up and runs away with her!"
Xie Yan pushed his hand away and tried to leave. He didn't really want to talk to this guy right now. What if this guy asked why he couldn't use Tai Lu?
As Gu Bin was speaking, seeing Xie Yan about to get up and leave, he hurriedly grabbed Xie Yan's arm again, almost acting like a spoiled child, and said, "You're my best brother, you can't just abandon me at a crucial moment like this, you have to help me come up with some ideas!"
Xie Yan looked down at him sideways, a slight smirk playing on his lips: "So you're planning to cling to me like this?"
Gu Bin nodded vigorously, his face full of sincerity, and admitted without any shame: "Yes, that's right, I've really stuck with you!"
Xie Yan: "Don't make me hit you!"
Gu Bin smiled indifferently, "It's okay, you can't beat me anyway."
Xie Yan: "!!!"
That hurts.
Xie Yan's expression changed instantly. He tilted his head back slightly, a wicked smile playing on his lips, and said with undeniable arrogance, "Yes, I admit I can't beat you. But don't forget, you're the one who needs my help right now!"
He deliberately dragged out his words, his eyes mocking, "Take Xiaohui for example, such an outstanding girl, I think she and Gu Che are quite a good match. I'll try to set them up later..."
Before Xie Yan could finish speaking, Gu Bin jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He rushed over and covered Xie Yan's mouth with his hand, his eyes filled with resentment: "Shut up! Don't talk nonsense here! You haven't even met Xiao Hui, so what makes you think she and Gu Che are a good match? Let me tell you, they are not a good match at all!"
"Xiaohui and I are the perfect match!"
Xie Yan looked helplessly at Gu Bin, unable to move with his mouth covered, and could only nod in compliance.
Seeing this, Gu Bin finally let go of her hand. After pacing back and forth a few times, he made up his mind and urged her urgently, "Give me some advice now, and I'll trust you, okay!"
Xie Yan rubbed his mouth, which was sore from being covered, and complained irritably, "Oh, did I hit a nerve? Are you trying to harm me now? You were just scoffing at what I said a moment ago, how come you almost went for it in the blink of an eye?"
"You're starting to believe it again now?"
Gu Bin nodded matter-of-factly and said confidently, "Have you heard of Jia Xu? Even if I don't use your ideas, I can't just stand by and watch you side with the 'enemy camp,' can I?"
Xie Yan stroked his chin and said smugly, "I never expected that I would have the talent of Jia Xu!"
