The Secret to Picking Up Girls

"Oh! Someone actually knows how to cherish the fairer sex. I really couldn't tell!" Wu Xinyu watched Zhang Yuze and Qin Fang being all lovey-dovey, and the jealousy gradually rose within her.

"What are you talking about! Can't you see she's scared?" Zhang Yuze glanced at Wu Xinyu reproachfully, looking very displeased.

"Then… then I'm scared too! Why don't you care about me more?" Wu Xinyu pouted, seemingly still very dissatisfied.

Zhang Yuze shook his head, at a loss for what to do with this strange girl, Wu Xinyu.

Just then, Matsushima Mieko spoke up.

"Yuze-kun, Xinyu-jie-jie, let's hurry up! If we don't, we won't reach the Hachigōme hut before evening today."

Zhang Yuze nodded and didn't say anything more. The group started to hurry on.

But then, Zhang Yuze noticed something. Although all three women were girls, and Qin Fang was older than Wu Xinyu and Matsushima Mieko, her speed was very slow, and she quickly showed signs of being physically exhausted. What Zhang Yuze admired was that Wu Xinyu seemed perfectly fine, while Matsushima Mieko, perhaps because she had climbed Mount Fuji several times before, also showed a hint of fatigue but could still persevere.

Zhang Yuze frowned and asked Qin Fang, who was panting, "How are you doing? Can you still keep going?"

Qin Fang waved her hand at Zhang Yuze and said, "Boss, I really can't go on. Why don't you go ahead, don't worry about me."

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I leave you here alone? It's too dangerous. I brought you here, and I'll take you back." Saying that, Zhang Yuze took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack and handed it to Qin Fang, saying, "You should drink some water first! Replenish your strength."

Qin Fang looked at Zhang Yuze and nodded to him, saying, "Thank you." She then took the mineral water Zhang Yuze offered.

After Qin Fang finished drinking the mineral water, Zhang Yuze smiled at her and said, "Come on, I'll carry you!"

Hearing this, Qin Fang waved her hand at Zhang Yuze, a little embarrassed, and said, "How can I do that? It will consume your energy."

Zhang Yuze didn't take it to heart and said, "It's nothing, I have plenty of energy, and you don't seem that heavy!"

Under Zhang Yuze's insistence, Qin Fang reluctantly agreed to let Zhang Yuze carry her.

Although Wu Xinyu felt a little jealous watching Zhang Yuze being so intimate with another girl, she didn't say anything at this time. She just silently followed beside them.

Matsushima Mieko didn't seem jealous at all and even seemed to find it fun, asking Qin Fang if it was fun to be carried, as if she had never been carried by anyone before.

Qin Fang was embarrassed by Matsushima Mieko's question, her face flushed, and she lowered her head without saying a word.

Zhang Yuze was only doing this out of helplessness, because he had no other choice but to carry Qin Fang. Just then, the Treasure Mirror suddenly reminded him in his mind that Qin Fang's affection for him had increased by 200 points. This surprised Zhang Yuze, as he didn't expect girls to be so easily moved.
