Gu Bin was speechless and couldn't help but complain, "When did you become so confident?"
Xie Yan stared at him expressionlessly, his voice seemingly carrying a hint of murderous intent: "Say it again!"
Gu Bin reacted instinctively, standing up abruptly and taking a few steps back to distance himself from Xie Yan. Then, he changed his expression and said with a grin, "You're not just as talented as Jia Xu, you're practically a modern-day Jia Xu reincarnated!"
Then, he put on an extremely obsequious expression and leaned forward: "The time has come for you to show your talents, Jia Xu of our time! Give me some advice, how should I pursue Xiao Hui?"
Xie Yan smiled smugly. The flattery was just right, making him feel very comfortable. He coughed lightly and said in a pretentious manner, "Since you have such good taste, then I'll explain it to you properly!"
Gu Bin's eyes lit up instantly, and he stared at Xie Yan with anticipation, waiting for his brilliant plan.
Xie Yan cleared his throat and asked, "Let me ask you first, how does Xiao Hui treat you?"
Without even thinking, Gu Bin blurted out, "Of course that would be great! How could such a lovely girl like her be rude to me?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Yan was speechless and looked up at the sky, thinking to himself: This person is hopeless, might as well just leave him alone.
After Gu Bin finished speaking, seeing Xie Yan's reaction, he asked with great confusion, "What's wrong? What does this have to do with pursuing her?"
"Oh! I see, you want to know what kind of image I have in her mind, right?"
After saying that, she lowered her head in frustration, "Then forget it. I feel like I'm the same as everyone else in her eyes, no different from anyone else."
Xie Yan shook his head, "No, no, I mainly want to know if she has any negative impact on you. As long as there is no bad influence, that's fine!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Bin shook his head confidently, "Don't worry about that, there will be absolutely no bad impact. She's very enthusiastic towards me, and she always greets me with a smile."
Xie Yan shook his head helplessly, "Forget it, I'm not counting on you. Let's go to the educated youth settlement tomorrow and meet this Xiao Hui."
Upon hearing this, Gu Bin became displeased, reaching out to pull Xie Yan back, muttering, "Why do we have to go see him? This has nothing to do with..."
Xie Yan interrupted his rambling, saying decisively, "If you still want to win her over, listen to me. Let's meet tomorrow so I can get a general idea of her personality and then we can tailor our approach accordingly, right?"
Gu Bin, still stubbornly refusing to back down, argued defiantly, "I really can! I know her personality inside and out, and I can explain her situation to you clearly, giving you a thorough understanding of every aspect. It's much more effective than you going to see her in person! Why don't you just not go see her!"
These words successfully piqued Xie Yan's curiosity. He looked Gu Bin up and down, his mind filled with doubt, thinking to himself: Gu Bin's reaction is too abnormal. Why is he so determined to stop me from seeing Xiao Hui? There must be something fishy going on here.
Thinking of this, Xie Yan asked, "Are you acting strange? What are you afraid of?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Bin's expression instantly became somewhat unnatural. After hesitating for a long time, he sighed heavily and stammered, "It's because Xiao Hui is too outstanding and too likable. I... I'm afraid that if you see her, you won't be able to resist falling for her too."
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Xie Yan was so angry upon hearing this that she kicked Gu Bin and yelled, "Get out of my way! What kind of person do you take me for?"
"My heart belongs only to my wife, no one else is worthy of my attention! Get the hell away from me!"
"Shut your lousy mouth and get the hell out of here!"
Seeing that Xie Yan was truly angry, Gu Bin panicked and hurriedly stepped forward to apologize, his face plastered with a fawning smile. He repeatedly clasped his hands in apology, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it was my fault, I was wrong, I was really wrong!"
"Okay! That's not what I meant."
After glancing at Xie Yan a few times, he finally sighed and lowered his head, saying, "The main thing is... although I'm tall and strong, and far superior to you in every way, what if Xiao Hui likes your type? If you go, wouldn't that be like letting her know that there are decent-looking people like you among the educated youth? Even if you're already married, who knows if you'll come back to the educated youth settlement in the future, and then..."
Xie Yan was so angry that he laughed. After listening to Gu Bin's nonsensical and absurd reasoning, he sneered, "And is it so hard to admit that I'm better than you and more handsome than you?"
Then, without any mercy, he retorted, "Look at you! You're afraid of this and that, always looking before and after. What are you doing chasing girls? You might as well stay single for life!"
Gu Bin was not about to give up. He immediately put on his shameless act again, took a few steps forward, hugged Xie Yan's arm tightly, shook it vigorously, and said in a coquettish tone, "Oh! Xie Yan, I'm begging you, you have to help me!"
Xie Yan tried hard to pull his arm away, but after a long while, he said helplessly, "Wasn't I planning to help you? But you've been stopping me from seeing Xiao Hui. What do you want?"
Gu Bin quickly reassured him again, "I swear, I can explain Xiao Hui's situation to you in great detail and completely, without missing a single detail. Just trust me this time!"
Xie Yan sneered and said mercilessly, "Put your hand on your heart and ask yourself, how many layers of filters did you put on your words?"
Gu Bin looked blank and asked, "What's a filter?"
Xie Yan rolled her eyes at him and explained, "It's all because of your unrealistic, idealized fantasies about her! In your eyes now, does Xiao Hui still have any flaws?"
Gu Bin said with a firm expression and impassioned words, "Of course she has no flaws!"
Xie Yan looked up at the sky, his face full of helplessness, and said, "Listen to yourself, is what you're saying reliable?"
Gu Bin remained stubborn and shouted, "It's true, I'm telling you, Xiao Hui is perfect, she has no flaws at all!"
Xie Yan sneered again and said, "Have you ever heard the saying 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'? Let me put it this way, in my wife's eyes, I am also perfect and flawless!"
Gu Bin couldn't help but laugh out loud, teasing, "You, you don't have any flaws? You're the one who doesn't have any strengths!"
Xie Yan gave a cold laugh, his brows furrowed slightly, and said wearily, "What's wrong with your ears? You didn't understand the point I made at all!"
Gu Bin remained unyielding, insisting, "But Xiao Hui is different from you! She truly is an exceptionally perfect girl! Don't jump to conclusions before you've even met her!"
Xie Yan sneered and retorted sharply, "I'll return that to you verbatim. There's no such thing as a perfect person in this world. Everyone has flaws. The kind of person you're talking about simply doesn't exist. You'd better take off that filter you're wearing, or you won't be able to accept reality when it shatters."
