The Secret to Picking Up Girls

“Of course not. I only obtained it through other means. I won't tell you the specifics,” Zhang Yuze said, shaking his head to Liu Mengting. “Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to welcome Yi Ningxue. Do you want to come along?” Liu Mengting said to Zhang Yuze with a smile.

“Uh, I think I'll pass on that! I'll go closer to the start time!” Zhang Yuze thought for a moment, shaking his head with a wry smile.

Seeming a little curious about Zhang Yuze's expression, Liu Mengting didn't think too much about it. She just gave Zhang Yuze a curious look and then said, “If you don't want to go, that's fine. Xie Lin and I will go pick her up first. You be a good boy and stay here, okay!”

Hearing Liu Mengting's words, Zhang Yuze nodded.

Watching them leave hand in hand, Zhang Yuze took a deep breath, feeling a little bored.

Walking along the small path within the academy, Zhang Yuze suddenly saw a familiar figure beside a fountain.

Long hair, still looking so serene.

This person was none other than Lu Yao.

At this moment, Lu Yao was sitting on the grass reading a book, seemingly undisturbed by anything.

The sunlight shone on her body, radiating brilliant colors.

Zhang Yuze suppressed a slight stirring in his heart, trying to appear as natural as possible as he walked to her side and said softly, “Hi! What a coincidence!”

Lu Yao seemed to only notice Zhang Yuze at this moment. Upon seeing him, a faint smile appeared on her face as she looked at Zhang Yuze and said, “It is quite a coincidence! Have a seat!”

Zhang Yuze didn't stand on ceremony and sat down gently beside her. Then, looking at the book in her hand, he asked curiously, “What are you reading?”

Lu Yao waved the book in her hand, brushed away the strands of hair that were blown by the wind, and said with a slight smile, “The Count of Monte Cristo. It's an old book. Just reading it casually.”

“Oh!” Zhang Yuze had only heard of this book but had never actually read it. Perhaps if you asked Zhang Yuze about "* * * *" or "Playboy of the Floral World," he might have read some of it, but Zhang Yuze simply couldn't understand this kind of book.

So, to avoid being questioned by the beauty about the book's content, Zhang Yuze quickly changed the subject, smiling and asking Lu Yao, “It seems like everyone in our academy has gone to Yi Ningxue's concert today. Why didn't you go? Don't you like her?”

“I also like her songs. Her voice is indeed beautiful, and her songs capture the essence, but…” Saying this, Lu Yao sighed slightly.

Seeing Lu Yao's expression, Zhang Yuze knew that it wasn't that she didn't want to go; these tickets were very hard to get.

Lu Yao might not have been able to get a ticket.

“Are you still worried about the ticket? Here, this one is for you!” Zhang Yuze said, taking out the ticket from his pocket and placing it in front of Lu Yao.

“This…you…” Lu Yao didn't expect Zhang Yuze to give her the ticket, and she looked at Zhang Yuze with some surprise.

Seeing the surprised look on Lu Yao's face, Zhang Yuze smiled and said to her, “This is the ticket for entry.”

“But if you give it to me, what about you?” Lu Yao said, about to return the ticket to Zhang Yuze.

Zhang Yuze shook his head and said with a smile, “I have another one. This one is for you.”
