"Although I'm not a good person in the true sense, I do have my own principles. There are some shortcuts I disdain to take."
Is he such a good person?
Zuo Baozhu was a little skeptical, but she said, "Thank you, you're a very nice person."
Anyway, it’s never wrong to give out the nice guy card at this time.
Liu Shaotong continued, "It's just that I can't go against my family's wishes. From now on, I have to pretend to be pursuing you. I hope you can forgive my intrusion. I don't want to deceive you."
Zuo Baozhu nodded, "I understand, I understand."
Liu Shaotong asked again, "I wonder if I can treat you to a meal this weekend? I know a shop that makes really good cakes."
Zuo Baozhu subconsciously wanted to agree, but then remembered something and shook her head. "I have an appointment on Saturday, maybe next time." She and Zhiming were going to dinner together. Zhiming mentioned that she had recently joined a production crew and the script was quite interesting and a bit unconventional. Zuo Baozhu wondered if she should take a couple of days to join the crew for a cameo appearance. She really enjoyed playing minor roles.
Liu Shaotong seemed difficult to get along with, but he was knowledgeable and had a good sense of humor. He seemed critical of his family's practices and always scoffed at the idea of familial marriages. He explained that his future wife was his lifelong partner, so he had to find someone who was completely satisfactory. He wasn't willing to settle.
When they made an appointment for dinner on Saturday, Zuo Baozhu told Cheng Zhiming about the brothers.
Zuo Baozhu said: "Compared to Liu Shaokang, Liu Shaotong is more honest."
Cheng Zhiming slapped his thigh and said, "Junior sister, you are still too sweet! These are all routines!"
"Liu Shaotong is a bit more sophisticated than his cousin. Not only did he easily defeat his competitor, but he also gained a lot of favor with you. He also put himself in a position of no choice, making you feel that you are on the same side."
"Don't you think he's an honest person? Subconsciously, you think he wouldn't lie. Didn't you feel a little guilty when you refused to have dinner with him?"
Zuo Baozhu sighed and nodded, saying that this was correct.
"Did you still promise him that you would have dinner together when you're free? You still haven't agreed to have dinner alone with Liu Shaokang."
Zuo Baozhu felt like she was almost becoming a person who could only nod.
"Just wait. After you've had a few more meals together, he'll definitely find a chance to confess his love to you. He'll say that he originally just wanted to put on a show for his family, but he couldn't control his heart and fell head over heels in love with you."
"Then he backed off and said he would keep his distance from now on."
Cheng Zhiming patted Zuo Baozhu's shoulder and said, "After a few relationships, you'll understand these routines. I have quite a few connections in the circle. Tell me what type you like. I have everything you want."
Zuo Baozhu sighed, it turns out it was all a routine.
