Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

Looking at the youthful yet naive and innocent You Xiaojuan in front of her, You Hongmei recalled the scene of going to and from school with Ma Feng many years ago...

A sharp glint flashed in You Hongmei's eyes as she reached out and placed her hand on You Xiaojuan's thin shoulder, saying, "Xiaojuan, it's okay if you don't understand. I'll explain it to you, and you'll understand."

"Would you like to consult Ma Feng about joining the army? I can tell you really like him, right?"

At this moment, You Hongmei knew that Ma Feng and the others had become suspicious of her and You Dalin...

I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to get close to Ma Feng again in the future.

She thought of an excellent candidate: You Xiaojuan. This girl, like herself before, was naive and had no social experience. More importantly, she greatly admired Ma Feng, a special forces soldier, because You Xiaojuan had dreamed of joining the army since she was a child...

Then You Xiaojuan said, "Sister-in-law, I'm afraid I won't be able to learn it, and I'm still young. I only admire Brother Ma Feng; I don't have any romantic feelings for him."

You Hongmei laughed and said, "Silly girl, aren't you telling your sister-in-law the truth? Since ancient times, beauties have loved heroes, and heroes have found it hard to resist the charms of beauties. Xiaojuan, as long as you take the initiative, you can win Ma Feng's heart. As the saying goes, it's easy for a woman to pursue a man. I can tell that Ma Feng likes you very much too."

You Xiaojuan shook her head and said, "Sister-in-law, weren't you and Brother Ma Feng a couple before? You were each other's first love. You want me to get close to Brother Ma Feng? This..."

You Hongmei: "What is this? I'm married and have a child now. My past with Ma Feng is a thing of the past. It's impossible for me to be with Ma Feng in this lifetime. Xiaojuan, if you like someone, just go for it. Don't end up like me now, regretting it for the rest of your life."

You Xiaojuan said with difficulty, "But, Ma Feng might not like me. He's seen a lot of things in the world and has met many women. How can a country girl like me be good enough for him?"

You Hongmei began to coax him gently, "So you have to take the initiative! Just find Ma Feng under the pretense of consulting him about military academy entrance exams. There's a saying that familiarity breeds affection; two people who spend a lot of time together will develop feelings for each other. If you listen to me, I guarantee I'll help you win Ma Feng's heart. I heard Ma Feng is a captain now!"

You Xiaojuan: "Really?"

You Hongmei: "Of course, would your sister-in-law lie to you?"

You Hongmei paused for a moment and continued, "Xiaojuan, you need to know that a man's nature is inseparable from his desire to conquer, his pride, and his laziness. As long as you understand these three aspects of a man, you can take control of his emotions."

"My sister-in-law has been through this; she has real-world experience."

Although You Xiaojuan lacked social experience, she was not stupid. She was an excellent student in school, excelling in both character and academics, and was also the class monitor. She understood the meaning behind You Hongmei's words.

So he said, "Sister-in-law, you asked me to pursue Brother Ma Feng, but actually you want me to help you scheme against him?"

"Aren't you two people who care about each other?"

Why do you have to do this?

"Thump!"

When You Hongmei heard You Xiaojuan say this, her heart sank. She said, "Xiaojuan, I didn't teach you how to scheme against Ma Feng. I taught you how to make a man listen to you, love you wholeheartedly, and follow you around like a lapdog."

You Xiaojuan really wanted to shout to You Hongmei, "I don't want Ma Feng to act like a dog!"

But seeing You Hongmei's somewhat ferocious and terrifying face, she didn't dare to say what she really thought. But she had made up her mind that no matter what, she couldn't hurt Ma Feng. She had overheard her brother and sister-in-law plotting to harm Ma Feng, so she panicked a little when she saw Ma Feng because she didn't know what to do.

Fortunately,

Ma Feng's friend stopped the situation from escalating in time.

Let's hear what You Hongmei has to say first.

So You Xiaojuan said, "Sister-in-law, I'll listen to you."

You Hongmei was overjoyed and said, "That's right, Xiaojuan. I'm not teaching you to scheme against Ma Feng, but helping you avoid being passively drained in relationships."

"First, give him a taste of sweetness but not enough, because constantly pleasing him and being at his beck and call will only make him lose interest. A woman who knows how to maintain boundaries alternates between warmth and coldness, praising and accompanying him appropriately, but never giving herself completely. The sense of the unknown will make a man think about it repeatedly and continue to invest. What is easily obtained is never cherished."

"Second, elevate him but don't spoil him. Because most men crave admiration, affirming their abilities satisfies their ego, and they will actively want to prove their worth."

"But never compromise on bottom lines, never tolerate perfunctory or deceptive behavior, and while you won't make a scene, you'll withdraw promptly. Verbally acknowledge, but set clear rules for your actions, so that he develops both dependence on and respect for you."

"Third, offer hope but don't make promises. Show men appropriate affection and share the joy of spending time together, but never commit to a relationship or make promises. Talk about your current feelings, don't define the long-term future, give him the motivation to pursue, and at the same time leave yourself room to maneuver."

"Fourth, leverage their help appropriately but never become dependent on them. Accept their help and contributions with equanimity, and see being needed as an opportunity for them to realize their value, without feeling guilty. The more independent you are and the more you have your own life and career, the more they will feel a sense of urgency and cherish you even more."

"Fifth, the core confidence comes from being able to extricate yourself at any time. The foundation of all these skills is that you don't have to depend on anyone for your life. Once you develop the idea that you can't live without him, you will be completely passive. Maintain your independent income, social circle, and hobbies. Men are just an embellishment to your life, not your whole life."

"Your composure and lack of deliberate attempts to please are most attractive to men. The harder it is to completely possess him, the more he is willing to continue investing, and the more he invests, the harder it is for him to give up."

"So-called high-level relationships are not about deliberately manipulating people's hearts, but about understanding human nature, controlling one's own emotions, and having the confidence to withdraw at any time. I used to insist on exchanging sincerity for sincerity, giving unconditionally but ending up with many wounds, simply because I didn't know how to maintain a proper balance in relationships."

"Finally, the best state in a relationship is not to rely on being humble and pleasing to gain favor, but to understand human nature, uphold your bottom line, and prioritize loving yourself, so that you can always hold the initiative in the relationship."

You Xiaojuan praised, "Sister-in-law, you're amazing! You understand men's psychology so well. No wonder you can keep my brother so obedient."

You Hongmei sneered inwardly, "You Dalin hasn't even touched my body, how dare he?"

at the same time,

Under Ma Feng's command, Shen Jun drove the car from the mountain road onto the cement road leading to Youjia Village.

Then Ma Feng said, "The road to Youjia Village has really been repaired. It used to be a bumpy gravel road, and cars would always scrape the bottom of their cars on it. Now it's a cement road, which is great."

Xiao Zhan: "This should have been achieved through the village-to-village road construction project."

suddenly,

Shen Jun shouted, "Oh no! Several motorcycles are chasing us from behind, and they look like they're coming for us!"

"Boom, boom!"

The roar of a motorcycle came from the rear of the vehicle…

Xiao Zhan bent down and pulled a camouflage bag from under the car seat. He opened it and took out three pistols and several magazines, handing them to Ma Feng and Shen Jun respectively. Then he said coldly, "Don't rush. Let's see what they're up to before making any plans."

"As long as they dare to attack us."

"Then wipe them all out!"
