The Secret to Picking Up Girls

"Humph! Don't brag. I know you inside and out. When did you learn to play the xiao? How come I don't know?" Knowing Zhang Yuze through and through, Liu Mengting rolled her eyes at him, unimpressed by his boasting. Zhang Yuze, hearing this, chuckled sheepishly and scratched his head, saying, "Don't underestimate me. There's a lot you don't know about me."

Looking at Zhang Yuze's seemingly genuine demeanor, Liu Mengting asked curiously, "Really?"

Seeing Liu Mengting's big eyes staring straight at him, making her look extremely adorable, Zhang Yuze affectionately pinched her nose and said with a smile, "You'll know how good I am when I play for you sometime. I'm definitely not inferior to that Li Ci! After Li Ci is gone, you can be my 'fan'!"

Seeing Zhang Yuze's boastful manner, Liu Mengting became somewhat displeased with him and huffed, "Don't you dare slander my 'idol'! He's an international master! If you had his skill, you would have become famous long ago. How could you be so unknown?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yuze sighed dismissively, shaking his head, and said, "Don't you know that true masters are unassuming? I'm that kind of person."

Listening to Zhang Yuze's obvious attempt to show off, Liu Mengting was speechless. She had seen shameless people before, but never one as shameless as him.

Suddenly, Liu Mengting thought of something and said to Zhang Yuze, "Yuze, you know I've always loved Li Ci's xiao music. Now that his remains are returning home, I think I should go and pay my respects, to express my admiration for him."

Zhang Yuze also wanted to absorb Li Ci's abilities, and Liu Mengting's suggestion coincided perfectly with his plans. Zhang Yuze readily agreed.

Li Ci was from Quancheng, the pride of Quancheng. His remains were returning home for cremation, so the citizens of Quancheng naturally wanted to see him off. Even some citizens from far away drove all the way to attend. Judging from the scene, there were at least tens of thousands of people, filling the entire road.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yuze sighed in his heart. To reach this level as a generation of xiao master, it could be considered a life well-lived.

Of course, Zhang Yuze couldn't act now. His only chance was at night when the remains were placed in the funeral home.

Seeing Liu Mengting's slightly sad expression, Zhang Yuze comforted her, which made the somewhat sentimental girl feel a little better.

At Zhang Yuze's suggestion, Liu Mengting also agreed to stay the night. However, Zhang Yuze was a little depressed because he had clearly booked a room, but it had two beds, completely foiling his plan to take advantage of Liu Mengting at night.

"Mengting, are you afraid to sleep alone tonight?" Zhang Yuze asked, grinning at Liu Mengting, who had just finished showering and was drying her hair.

"With you here, why should I be afraid?" Liu Mengting looked at Zhang Yuze, seemingly puzzled.

"What if I'm not here? Would you be afraid?" Zhang Yuze chuckled upon hearing Liu Mengting's words.

"You said you won't be here, then where are you going tonight?" Liu Mengting asked very sensitively.
