Li Qihao was overjoyed to offer advice to Zhou Zhiyang, completely unaware of the helpless expression on Chang Jing's face beside him.
In Li Qihao's eyes, pursuing a girl requires a grand, passionate, romantic, and extravagant approach in order to win her heart.
However, Chang Jing thought these were all bad ideas. If Zhou Zhiyang really followed Li Qihao's advice, the relationship might end before it even started.
Chang Jing couldn't bear to watch Zhou Zhiyang's flustered yet determined appearance.
He cleared his throat and said, "Zhou Zhiyang, don't listen to Li Qihao's nonsense. Chasing girls isn't that complicated. The most important thing is to be sincere and express your feelings."
Upon hearing this, Li Qihao glared at Chang Jing with a look that said, "What do you know?" Chang Jing naturally understood what the guy meant.
Chang Jing smiled and shook his head, then turned to Zhou Zhiyang and said, "The most important thing for you right now is to relax and not rush into confessing your feelings. Just interact with them normally, observe their attitude towards you, and if you find that they are also interested in you, then express your feelings appropriately. Be natural, don't be too flamboyant, and don't be too deliberate."
Zhou Zhiyang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Chang Jing's words.
He felt that Chang Jing's words made a lot of sense, and that this was in line with his own style.
Zhou Zhiyang quickly said, "Chang Jing is right. I'll just go my own way! I'll relax and get along well with people for now, observe them slowly, and when the time is right, things will naturally turn out the way they do."
Li Qihao was somewhat unconvinced, but seeing that Zhou Zhiyang's mental state had finally relaxed, he didn't argue anymore.
Zhou Zhiyang smiled and thanked Chang Jing: "Chang Jing, if my love life goes smoothly, I'll definitely treat you to a big meal! I won't listen to Li Qihao's advice, otherwise things might go wrong."
Li Qihao was speechless and could only reluctantly purse his lips.
Chang Jing laughed and said, "I definitely have to go to Zhou Zhiyang's celebration banquet then. You might already be pregnant by then!"
The three of them joked and laughed, and the atmosphere relaxed.
Zhou Zhiyang knew that with a rational and considerate friend like Chang Jing by his side, the road of this relationship, though still long, would surely be smooth and successful.
He believes that as long as he treats people sincerely and faces things with a relaxed attitude, there will always be a good outcome.
Zhou Zhiyang thought to himself that when he could finally be with the person he loved, he would definitely thank Chang Jing, his "relationship mentor."
When that day truly arrives, I believe Li Qihao will obediently shut up and stop worrying unnecessarily!
...
A few days later, Chang Jing was sitting in his dormitory looking at documents when his phone suddenly rang.
He glanced at it; it was a call from his younger sister, Chang Ling.
Chang Jing quickly answered the phone: "Lingling, what's wrong?"
Chang Ling's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother, the 'ignore' trick you taught me before really didn't work on Lin Xiangfu! Not only did that guy not give up because of my coldness, but he also thinks that I 'tacitly approve' of his pursuit. Now he's practically running rampant and spreading rumors in class. What am I supposed to do?"
After listening to his sister's complaints, Chang Jing felt that Lin Xiangfu's behavior was truly disgusting.
He had never seen such a shameless person, who actually spread rumors every day that his sister had already accepted his pursuit.
Chang Jing asked in a deep voice, "What rumors is Lin Xiangfu spreading in class right now?"
Chang Ling said angrily, "He's now bragging in class about those 'sweet' little details he's made up, saying that we chat and text each other every day and are inseparable. He even said that I accepted his pursuit and that we'll be thinking about marriage after graduation. It's utter nonsense! We've never had any private conversations with him. We only exchange a few pleasantries when we chat occasionally, but this guy is taking it all seriously. I'm at my wit's end!"
Chang Jing was furious. This Lin Xiangfu was simply a mental patient, able to make up such an outrageous and nonsensical story.
Chang Jing said in a deep voice, "Lingling, you need to clarify in front of the whole class that the so-called 'sweet' details he boasted about never happened between you, and that you never accepted his advances. Tell him to stop spreading rumors and belittling himself."
Chang Ling sighed, "Brother, you know what kind of person Lin Xiangfu is. Even if I say it in front of so many people, he'll probably still confidently say that I'm just shy and don't dare to admit it. Wouldn't that be even more embarrassing?"
Chang Jing agreed with Chang Ling's point. There was no point in talking to this kind of person; even if he clarified things in front of everyone, she would still refuse to admit her mistake.
Chang Jing pondered for a moment and said, "Since clarifying things face-to-face is useless, let him understand what it means to 'cast a candle at a cow.' Lingling, from now on, ignore him as much as possible. If he tries to talk to you, just give him a polite reply. Otherwise, completely ignore him and don't give him any chance. You also need to mentally eliminate his existence. That way, no matter how long he makes a fuss, he will eventually give in."
Chang Ling listened and felt that this move was a bit difficult, but it would be futile to compete with Lin Xiangfu. The best way was indeed to ignore him.
Chang Ling sighed helplessly and said, "Brother, I will try, but you know what kind of person Lin Xiangfu is. If I ignore him, he will probably still talk nonsense and do whatever he wants."
Chang Jing heard the worry in his sister's tone and comforted her, "Don't worry, I trust your judgment. Besides, people will eventually see through someone like Lin Xiangfu who keeps spewing nonsense. Just ignore him and treat him like air. After a while, his rumors will fall apart on their own."
Chang Ling listened and felt that her brother's words made sense, but she was still somewhat worried about someone like Lin Xiangfu. However, since her brother's suggestion was also reasonable, she might as well give it a try; it was better than going against Lin Xiangfu.
Chang Ling agreed, "I understand, brother, I'll give it a try. If it really doesn't work, I'll ask you to take care of him!"
Chang Jing chuckled and said, "Don't worry, if he really acts lawlessly, I'll naturally 'treat' him properly!"
After hanging up the phone, Chang Jing sneered. This Lin Xiangfu was incredibly audacious, daring to provoke his sister. It seemed the kid didn't know his place; otherwise, how could he be so arrogant?
Chang Jing picked up his phone and sent a message to Scarface: "Scarface, check the information of a student named Lin Xiangfu from XX High School. Make sure to provide as much detail as possible about his family background, and also find out if he has caused any trouble recently."
A few hours later, Scarface called him back: "Lin Xiangfu, a second-year student at XX High School, comes from a well-off family. His father, Lin Youcai, and mother, Wang Juan, run a jewelry business. His only younger brother is studying abroad, so his family spoils him. He's known at school for his various ways of flirting with girls, but he's a bit eccentric. Nobody can mess with him, or they'll face the consequences."
