"A first-class fraudster?" Qi Yang didn't quite understand what this meant.
Lin An had a smug look on his face, as if to say, "You're not as good as me when it comes to girls." He said, "Do you remember what Xu Yaoji wears every day?"
Qi Yang replied immediately: "A waist-baring shirt, a miniskirt, a collar, leg rings, and bubble socks—standard sexy hottie attire."
"Yes, but this is Xu Yaoji's fraud. She dressed like this on purpose."
"Why does she dress like this on purpose? When ordinary people see her dressed like this, they will probably misunderstand that she has bad character, which will be bad for her reputation." Qi Yang said in surprise.
"Maybe it has something to do with the bitch image I want to create." Lin An replied quickly.
Qi Yang frowned and thought hard, but still couldn't understand the reason for doing this.
Lin An asked again, "Do you still remember the two key pieces of evidence that led to Xu Yaoji being misunderstood as being 'kept by an older man'?"
"One was that she came out of the hotel in the morning, and the other was that a luxury car took her to school early in the morning. The driver was an old man who gave her the money personally." Qi Yang also investigated the inside story of the rumor and remembered it very clearly.
"Yes, based on these two pieces of evidence, most boys and girls believe that Xu Yaoji is an indecent woman who sells her body." Lin An nodded.
Qi Yang was even more confused: "Why? Who would deliberately throw dirty water on themselves? It's so weird."
Lin An smiled in understanding: "Not surprising, people who see through the essence of interpersonal communication would do this."
Qi Yang thought deeply for a moment and asked in surprise, "You mean, Xu Yaoji doesn't need friends?"
"Maybe," Lin An said casually, returning to the previous topic. "You asked why Xu Yaoji threw dirty water on herself. I guess the reason Xu Yaoji did this was to deliberately lower her own reputation, thus forming a protective barrier that can effectively prevent harassment from bad boys. You also know how beautiful Xu Yaoji is."
Qi Yang nodded in agreement, but quickly shook his head: "There's no need to be so bitchy. With her intelligence, there must be other more effective methods."
"That's why she's called a first-rate con artist. Everything about her is fake," Lin An continued. "Her clothing style is fake, her reputation as a bitch is fake, her personality is fake, maybe even her name is fake. She's a dangerous woman made up of lies. I can kind of understand why she'd choose this bitch style."
"Why?"
Lin An smiled and said, "Maybe it's because the bitch style is the least tiring to play. As long as you dress sexy, you can succeed."
Qi Yang was speechless for a long time after hearing this answer. He then commented, "Since she chose to act out lies and even cast the laziest hottie, I can't understand why she did that. If she was really lazy, she might as well not dress so beautifully. Xu Yaoji is indeed a strange and complex woman, a mystery."
"But one thing," Qi Yang continued, "Think about it carefully. Xu Yaoji is indeed a dangerous woman built of lies. The incident at Haicheng No. 4 Middle School was also a fraud orchestrated by her. Calling her a con artist is quite fitting. But since she's a con artist, her statement, 'I'll be the girlfriend of anyone who can successfully deceive me once,' is also a form of deception. Could it be that she's a born villain who enjoys exploiting others?"
"No." Lin An showed an interested smile on his face and asked, "I described Xu Yaoji as a 'first-class fraudster', not a fraudster. Do you know why?"
Qi Yang scratched his hair and thought for a long time before giving up. "Alright, I give up. I've met hundreds of girls, but I can't figure out the inner thoughts of a complicated girl like Xu Yaoji."
"Because she is a liar who only tells the truth." Lin An gave the answer.
"? How can a fraudster and the truth be equal!" Qi Yang's mind was confused.
Lin An didn't keep the secret and explained in detail: "Remember Xu Yaoji's two sentences: 'I'm a woman who needs money and will look for a man to support me', and 'I really love money, and I'm willing to sacrifice some of myself for it, including my appearance'. She didn't lie at all. The problem is that she's probably very rich, so she wouldn't be short of money to become a mistress."
Qi Yang's pupils trembled, and he clapped his hands vigorously, saying, "That's right. Looking at the methods she uses to hurt boys, there isn't a single lie. No, her lies come from her clothes, her actions, and the words and deeds of others, not from her words. She really seems to be a con artist who can only tell the truth. But why? If she's a con artist, why does she limit herself to telling only the truth?"
Lin An said with some understanding, "There are two possibilities. One is a strong self-discipline to keep herself from getting lost. After all, if you play too many roles, you will lose your true self. The other is that this is a more sophisticated deception. She appears to be telling no lies, but in fact she is creating a sense of trust that she 'doesn't tell lies', and then lies at the crucial moment to complete the key deception in one go."
Qi Yang rubbed his temples and complained to Lin An again, "Why do you understand the hearts of fraudsters so well? Lin An, are you even 18? What kind of life have you led before? How can an average Chinese university student understand things like 'strong self-discipline' and 'sophisticated fraud'? You two are freaks, aren't you?"
Lin An flatly denied it: "Don't say that. I'm not a freak. I'm a very ordinary Chinese university student. My current dream is to spend four years of peaceful university life."
"never mind."
Qi Yang suppressed his strong urge to complain and said, "So, what you're saying is that Xu Yaoji is a con artist who only tells the truth, and her promise of 'I'll be your girlfriend if you can successfully deceive me once' isn't a lie. So, if you can successfully deceive her once, you can become her partner. So, our next goal is to figure out how to deceive her once."
