I'm a sophomore in college, what the heck is this "male god cultivation system"?

Chapter 110 Comfort
As for the reward in option two, although the stock market prediction is marked with "weak," even if it's been severely nerfed, the name itself already exudes a powerful aura.

Chen Yan lay on his seat and waited for about five minutes before Shu He finally came into view.

"Snapped."

As the car door closed, Shu He sat in the passenger seat and said softly, "I'm sorry to have troubled you so much today."

"It's okay, I didn't even start the car anyway, I just sat in it for a while, it's not much trouble," Chen Yan said with a smile, then naturally helped Shu He fasten her seatbelt.

"Oh, I've already fastened it myself, no need for you to bother." Shu He waved her hand and quickly fastened her seatbelt.

'It seems these kinds of intimate gestures aren't really suitable.'

Based on Shu He's behavior, Chen Yan quickly deduced the general relationship between the two in Shu He's mind.

As things stand, the two sides are still in the friendship stage.

In fact, every little thing he did when we were together was more or less a test.

The reason he dared to extend an invitation to Shu He today after noticing that she was in a bad mood, and even persisted in extending the invitation after she declined, was essentially because he had made some small tests in the afternoon.

In the afternoon at the glasses shop, he pushed Shuhe to the mirror. Although this action seemed normal, in male-female interactions, apart from girls who are very approachable in social situations, as long as there is physical contact for more than five seconds, it can be said that the relationship between the two parties is at least at the level of friends.

After all, facial expressions and words can be deceiving, but instinctive reactions can not. When the other person senses each other's body language, if the relationship is not close, the body will react before the brain.

This kind of case is very common. In general, in a couple's life, if you find that your wife has obvious resistance to kissing, hugging, or even deep physical activity, then it is recommended that you check your head as soon as possible to see if you have multiple partners.

Of course, this method of judgment can only be used on girls who have not received professional training. When encountering professionals, one can only rely on their own keen senses.

It was this action of "pushing Shuhe to the mirror" that allowed Chen Yan to conduct a test. In male-female relationships, testing should also be done gradually. If you rush things, it is very likely to have a counterproductive effect.

If Chen Yan tries to hold Shu He's hand this afternoon, he will definitely be rejected. In fact, there is a 90% chance that he won't be able to get Shu He to come down to bed.

……

"Can you tell me what exactly happened just now?"

Chen Yan didn't rush to start the vehicle, but first asked about the cause of the incident.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just my mom..." Shu He recounted the events in fits and starts, and as she spoke, the grievances and resentment that had been building up inside her exploded once again.

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again, and her voice even trembled with sobs.

"I see. Then that aunt really went too far. You did absolutely nothing wrong..."

With his experience of dating multiple girlfriends, Chen Yan's skill in comforting people is practically maxed out.

Comforting someone is actually very simple. In short, it's about "acknowledgment" plus "empathy." Acknowledgment means, "You did nothing wrong. How could he do that?" Empathy means, "If I were you, I would be very upset in this situation."

As for solutions, there's no need... When people confide in you, it's essentially to vent their emotions and gain emotional value from you, not to actually expect to get any solutions from you.

If you really don't know how, then just be a good listener and fulfill the role of an emotional dumping ground.

Honest people suffer because when others confide in them, they always try to offer solutions, attempting to leave a "reliable" and excellent image for girls through this behavior.

However, the truth is that these kinds of people are often more likely to be used as tools.

This is why a scumbag can quickly build a relationship with a slew of sweet talk and empty promises, while an honest person who tries hard to find a solution ends up either being friend-zoned or being seen as a tool.

During high school, Chen Yan asked several classmates this question, then categorized the answers, and the result was...

Nine out of ten girls say that dating a jerk for a month is more enjoyable than dating an honest guy for a year.

……

With Chen Yan's approval, Shu He's grievances grew stronger, and she became increasingly unable to control her crying.

This is actually quite normal. It's like when a child falls down. If there are no adults around, they usually just dust themselves off and continue playing. But if an adult runs over, picks them up, and comforts them with words like, "Ouch, you fell and hurt yourself, it doesn't hurt," nine times out of ten, the child will start crying.

"I don't know why she's so controlling. I even think that my three years of high school were the happiest time of my life."

Shu He wiped away her tears, sobbing as she intermittently vented her emotions.

“I understand how you feel. Your aunt is indeed a bit controlling, and it’s really hard to bear.” Chen Yan said, agreeing with her words, and then pulled out a napkin to wipe away Shu He’s tears.

When a person's emotions fluctuate greatly, their rationality and psychological defenses are often weakened during this period. This is one of the reasons why some girls can easily be won over by their male best friends after a big fight with their boyfriends.

"Thank you, I'm not actually that upset." Shu He took the napkin from Chen Yan, wiped her tears haphazardly, and said, "It's just that as we were talking, I started to feel a little wronged."

"It's okay, you'll feel better after venting." Chen Yan, the bookstore owner, patiently began to paint a rosy picture, "Once you graduate and have your own job and a stable source of income, you can completely break free from Auntie's control."

It won't be long, just be patient, it'll be fine once you graduate.

After crying like that, Shu He's mood improved significantly. Although her eyes were still red, the spirit in them was noticeably better than before.

"It's good that you feel better. If you encounter something like this again, you can tell me." Chen Yan looked at Shu He and said seriously, "We are friends, and I will help you share your emotions."

"Mm." Shu He nodded gently, then her voice became slightly more emphasizing, "Chen Yan, thank you."

"I already said there's no need to thank me, we're good friends, now I'll take you to the restaurant."
