He Yunxiao returned from his stroll through the garden of the academy, and Du Meimei was still in the study.
Standing at the doorway of the study, He Yunxiao initially intended to listen to the conversation between the two young ladies inside, but after a moment's thought, he decided against it. Even in ancient times, one must respect the privacy of one's wives.
He thought to himself that he had been wandering around for quite a while, and if Sister Du still hadn't convinced Sister Ziruo, then it would be difficult to persuade her by relying on Sister Du.
He Yunxiao didn't want Du Meimei to force herself for him, and he didn't want Du Meimei and her sister to have any rift because of this.
So he pretended not to know that Sister Du was inside and knocked on the door, saying, "Ziruo, I'm back."
The voices of the two women inside the house stopped abruptly after He Yunxiao knocked on the door.
Then came Fan Ziruo's gentle voice, as always: "Young master, please come in."
He Yunxiao, having received permission, then pushed open the door and entered.
"Zi Ruo, the girl of Yin Yun."
When Du Yinyun saw He Yunxiao arrive, she had no intention of staying long. After exchanging a few pleasantries, she said, "Sister, Young Master He, Yinyun has other matters to attend to, so please excuse me."
This time, Fan Ziruo didn't even bother to pretend to persuade her sister to stay. Seeing Du Yinyun get up to take her leave, she also got up and said, "Sister, I'll see you off."
Seeing her sister's impatient manner, Du Yinyun couldn't help but find it amusing.
When did my dignified, composed, and calm older sister, Ziruo, start to get anxious?
Compared to seeing Fan Ziruo's anxiety, Du Yinyun was more interested in seeing her sister being "controlled" by the young master.
She prides herself on being ruthless and indifferent, claiming to be uninterested in romance, but as long as she falls into the hands of her young master, she will be "cherished" by him until she is flushed and shameless.
I wonder what a woman with my sister's personality would be like if she became shameless?
Fan Ziruo saw Du Meimei off. After walking a few steps, she noticed that Du Meimei was looking at her strangely.
"Phonetics, what are you thinking about?"
"nothing."
Fan Ziruo didn't believe for a second that she wasn't thinking anything. "Good sister, tell your older sister."
Du Yinyun would never tell anyone about her wicked sense of humor, so she changed the subject, saying, "Sister, if you don't go back soon, Young Master He will be gone."
The mention of He Yunxiao immediately put Fan Ziruo and Du Yinyun at ease.
He patted Du's little waist, which made him feel relieved, and then decisively went back to his study.
He Yunxiao waited in the study. He had just checked and Fan Ziruo's favorability rating was still stable at 76, so he didn't know how Du Meimei's persuasion was going.
Fan Ziruo left for a short while and then returned.
"I apologize for keeping you waiting, young master."
He Yunxiao laughed and said, "It's alright. Miss Ziruo waits for me in her room every day, so it's only right that I wait for her today."
Fan Ziruo's favorability rating has increased from 76 to 77.
He Yunxiao: ?
System, refresh yourself.
Fan Ziruo's favorability rating is 77.
He Yunxiao couldn't understand why Fan Ziruo suddenly developed a higher level of affection for him when he hadn't done anything.
Something's not right!
Is this really the same Fan Ziruo who is not easily moved by emotions, so easily gained favor with her?
Has the knot in my heart been untied?
It shouldn't be like this, the knot in their hearts has been untied. Even when their affection level was low before, it didn't increase like this...
Could it be because she's been suppressing her feelings for too long that Ziruo has become extremely thirsty... no, I mean, Ziruo's affection level has become extremely thirsty.
Intrigued, He Yunxiao asked, "Ziruo, have you finished writing the outline?"
Fan Ziruo tidied up several sheets of paper and handed them to He Yunxiao. "Young Master, the outline for the first part is done. The outline for the second part is not very long. There are many places that Ziruo needs to think about again."
Looking at the outline, He Yunxiao praised it generously: "Very good! For your first time writing, you've done a great job."
Fan Ziruo's favorability rating has increased from 77 to 78.
As expected, prices went up!
I was absolutely right.
The goodwill I've accumulated over time is like a volcano that could erupt at any moment. Now, I'm afraid that anything I do now will increase my goodwill.
"Zi Ruo."
When Fan Ziruo heard He Yunxiao call her, she looked up at him intently and listened to him speak.
"What's wrong, young master?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to say: You're really beautiful."
Fan Ziruo's favorability rating has increased from 78 to 79.
Holy crap, this is going up? That's pretty cool.
Now, Ziruo's affection for me has reached the critical point. I just need to tremble a little more, and I will be able to "successfully win her over".
This favorability is very easy for me now. I can win over Ziruo sister immediately by doing just a little bit.
But He Yunxiao always felt that something was missing. Was the important moment of "Zi Ruo's younger sister" becoming "Zi Ruo's wife" going to happen in this study again?
This feels like proposing to your girlfriend via QQ – so perfunctory.
It needs to be a little romantic.
Back when I was trying to win over Sister Du, I was beaten half to death by Chu Fan in front of everyone, which aroused Sister Du's compassion and made her shed tears before I finally succeeded in winning her over.
Back then, Nan Zhu's wife was sitting by the lake, warming herself by a campfire, holding hands and eating fish—it was so romantic.
Even with Sister Jiang, it was only on a moonlit night, on the upper floor of the Chunfeng Tower, that I managed to win her over by holding an umbrella to shield her from the wind.
It's much more romantic and ceremonial than sitting in the study and saying casual things.
He Yunxiao put down Fan Ziruo's outline, stood up and said, "Ziruo, lightness skill is an essential skill for martial artists. If you want to write martial arts novels, you will definitely write about lightness skill. However, lightness skill is not like other martial arts moves that you can learn by imitation. In the future, if you want to write about lightness skill but do not know it, it will be very difficult."
