The Secret to Picking Up Girls

Zhang Yuze looked at these people with disdain, his face relaxed as he swaggered out of the "Red Leaf Gang's" West City branch hall with Lin Jing. Once they were on the street, Lin Jing couldn't hold back any longer and threw herself into Zhang Yuze's arms, crying with grievance. Zhang Yuze hugged the girl in his arms, sighed, and stroked her soft back, saying, "Don't cry, isn't everything alright now? I'm here."

"Mmm!" Lin Jing heard Zhang Yuze's words and felt a little embarrassed, straightening up from his embrace and wiping away her tears. She said to Zhang Yuze, feeling somewhat ashamed, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

Zhang Yuze smiled faintly and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing. You seem like someone with a story. If you don't mind, I can be your listener."

Lin Jing looked at Zhang Yuze with some surprise and asked, "Aren't you afraid I'll be long-winded?"

Zhang Yuze shook his head and said with a smile, "How could I be? I like listening to stories, especially true stories."

As Lin Jing walked down the street with Zhang Yuze, she organized her thoughts. Then, she poured out the bitterness that had been buried in her heart for nearly twenty years to Zhang Yuze all at once.

It turned out that Lin Jing's parents divorced when she was very young, and she grew up with her father. However, perhaps because of the impact of the broken family, Lin Jing's father became addicted to gambling when she was very young, squandering the family's already meager wealth.

Lin Jing grew up in this kind of family environment. From elementary school, she learned to be independent, and her weak shoulders bore the burden of household chores. But even so, her academic performance was excellent from a young age. She was almost always a "Three Good Student" and an outstanding student cadre, and the certificates of merit covered the broken walls of her home.

Finally, she was admitted to a famous normal university in FJ. However, the cost of going to university was almost entirely dependent on her frugality over those years and the piecing together of money from almost all of her relatives.

Zhang Yuze listened silently to the story Lin Jing told him, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It seems that there are no girls who fall for no reason. Zhang Yuze had been very curious about Lin Jing, how she got on this path. Now it seems that she had no choice.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuze felt even more pity for the girl, took Lin Jing's small hand, and said to her gently, "Don't worry, now that I'm here, no one will dare to bully you again."
