A new guide to winning over a girlfriend with an abstract identity is released every week.

Jiang Luoyu sighed and muttered to herself, feeling somewhat irritated.

Because that's the reality, leaving her little room for choice.

Her family was struggling financially. From junior high to high school, for a full six years, they not only didn't pay for her tutoring classes, but they also gave her very little money for study materials.

In addition, being a girl, she found it extremely difficult to study science subjects.

Under these circumstances, it is truly remarkable that she could still score around 550 points; it can almost be said that she exerted all her strength.

However, she doesn't blame her parents; she knows they've had it tough too.

If I can't get into a 211 university, the best option might really be to apply to Songyun College as a targeted student.

Graduate early, start working early, and get a stable job with a government-approved position.

"Okay, Shu Rui, thank you. I will think about it carefully. I will discuss it with my family after the results come out."

She affectionately hugged Shu Rui's arm, grateful that she had told her this kind of insider information that ordinary people wouldn't know.

Little did they know, their conversation was overheard by Lin Zheng, who was half a step behind.

He suddenly realized why Jiang Luoyu was studying at Songyun Academy in the simulation.

That's it!

But... the thought that such a beautiful girl would become a "fairy" in a bar VIP room two years later, and even be drugged and taken to a hotel by a rich second-generation blond guy, made him unable to bear watching.

It's terrible, absolutely terrible.

I followed the two of them all the way until we arrived at Qixing Residential Area, which is near the vegetable market. It was about a half-hour drive.

Jiang Luoyu arrived at her stop. She waved to Shu Rui, sweetly said goodnight, and then entered the residential area.

"Hey, they're already gone, should we still follow them?"

Shu Rui, standing to the side, looked at Lin Zheng, who was watching Jiang Luoyu leave, with amusement.

"What floor and apartment number does she live on again?" Lin Zheng suddenly asked a completely unrelated question.

"Building 4, Unit 4, 201, what's wrong? You're really going to go home with her?" Shu Rui exclaimed in surprise.

"Okay, thanks."

Lin Zheng didn't have time to chat with her. After thanking her, he turned and left.

Damn it, Jiang Luoyu's house is in the opposite direction from the place he rented.

It will take him an hour to walk back.

I'll probably get home around 11 p.m.

What? You mean why didn't you take a taxi?

Ten yuan for a taxi is too extravagant for a high school student; he can't bear to spend it.

As for why they followed Jiang Luoyu to her house despite going in the opposite direction?

Hehehe, Jiang Luoyu, you don't want your windows to get smashed, do you?

He smiled wickedly to himself, a smile that was evident on his face.

Back home, Lin Zheng took a shower first thing.

In the past, he would definitely study late into the night, and do a test paper first.

But now, all he wants to do is figure out how to win Jiang Luoyu's heart.

To woo girls for the rise of the Han Kingdom!

He wrote that sentence down again on the draft paper with renewed determination.

......

The next day, as soon as Jiang Luoyu entered the classroom, her best friend Shu Rui sneaked over.

"Luoyu, I've found out. The boy who wanted to pursue you yesterday is from Class 7 next door. Do you want to know his name?" she said with a chuckle.

"I don't want to know."

Jiang Luoyu leaned weakly against the wall, looking like a delicate flower.

She had another nightmare last night.

She dreamt again of that blond guy forcing her to be his girlfriend.

Most importantly, the blond guy in her dream... this time she clearly remembered that he looked exactly like that annoying guy from yesterday!

She woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall back asleep.

And now she looks so listless.

"Oh dear~, you want to know, but if you don't want to know, then all my research has been for nothing?"

Shu Rui shook Jiang Luoyu's arm coquettishly, and without waiting for her reply, she directly told her what she had found out.

"The person yesterday was named Lin Zheng. Well, how should I put it? His family is pretty ordinary, and his grades aren't very good either, around 450 points, which is difficult for him to even get into a second-tier university."

She shook her head as she spoke, clearly not having a high opinion of Lin Zheng.

Little did she know that upon hearing the name Lin Zheng, Jiang Luoyu's previously listless expression immediately froze in shock.

Her eyes widened as she turned to look at Shu Rui.

"What? You said his name is Lin Zheng?" Her expression was strange, as if she had seen a ghost.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Shu Rui asked, puzzled.

"N-nothing."

Despite the unpredictable nature of the situation, Jiang Luoyu suppressed the turmoil in her heart.

How can it be?

This is too coincidental, right?

Seeing that Jiang Luoyu seemed to have developed an interest in Lin Zheng, Shu Rui thought for a moment and then said something.

"Hey Luoyu, if you don't get into a 211 university and you still choose to apply for the targeted enrollment program at Songyun College, you might end up in the same university as this Lin Zheng!"

After all, a poor student like him would probably only be able to attend a school like Songyun Academy.

"How about it? Interested in starting a sweet romance after graduation?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Luoyu amusedly, only to be met with Jiang Luoyu's exasperated expression.

"No way, he couldn't possibly only get into Songyun Academy." Jiang Luoyu finally retorted.

Shu Rui was stunned, then quickly asked, "Huh? Why?"

"It's nothing, let's not talk about him. I'm not interested in him. I'm going to study my vocabulary."

Jiang Luoyu was getting restless and didn't want to continue the conversation, so she made up a random excuse and picked up her vocabulary book, pretending to memorize words.

She was filled with questions, wondering why she would dream about Lin Zheng.

And his performance...

My God! He was exactly the same as the blond guy in my dream, like they were cut from the same mold, just as scoundrel and rogue.

......

"Holy crap, picking up girls costs so much money!"

In Class 7, Zhang Xuan threw his schoolbag on the desk and started complaining to Lin Zheng as soon as he sat down.

"What? You walked back with your Yangyang last night. Weren't you happy being her protector?" Lin Zheng glanced at him and immediately guessed that this idiot had been ripped off again last night.

"No, it was definitely fun, but..."

Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment, then sighed deeply.

After a while, he continued, "Holy shit! Yesterday, I ate hot pot with four girlfriends and it cost me over 300 yuan. Then I brought two more girlfriends home and spent another 50 yuan on milk tea."

"Old Lin, I spent almost four hundred yuan yesterday. Do you even know what four hundred yuan means?"

Zhang Xuan's heart trembled as he spoke.

He's just a struggling high school student, and spending over 400 yuan a day is definitely beyond his budget.

He has about a thousand yuan a month for living expenses.

Wow, I spent almost half a month's worth of money in just one day.

After listening to Zhang Xuan's complaints, Lin Zheng immediately started laughing hysterically.

"Idiot, what do you think that girl is so proactive for? Is it because you're ugly? Or because you talk in a lewd way? Isn't it just for the two coins in your pocket?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuan immediately cast a resentful glance at him, looking sullen and like a wronged person.

Chapter 15 Zhou Ming was impressed

It took Zhang Xuan a while to recover. He then cheekily moved closer to Lin Zheng and started their morning reading and chatting session.

"Dad, do you have any better ways to play? Like a way to get girls without spending money?"

He looked at his godfather with anticipation.

"Holy crap, Zhang Xuan, are you crazy about women? You're actually being so proactive this time!"

Lin Zheng was shocked; he had underestimated the teddy bear nature of his deskmate.

That's absolutely brutal!

"Hehe, tell me quickly, you must know how to pick up girls at zero cost."

It's no wonder Zhang Xuan now believes Lin Zheng is a master at picking up girls.

The rumor spread throughout Class 6 that the school beauty, Jiang Luoyu, was already taken, and the person being rumored to be Lin Zheng from the neighboring Class 7 was none other than Lin Zheng.

In a short time, Lin Zheng, who was previously unknown, quickly became known to a considerable number of people.

Those who love gossip and those who originally pursued Jiang Luoyu were all puzzled as to why the school beauty had chosen such an ordinary guy.

Is it possible that the ordinary style is in fashion these days?

"Call me 'Daddy' again and let me hear it." Lin Zheng crossed his arms and proudly raised his head.

"Hey... Dad." Zhang Xuan immediately drew out the word "Dad" as Lin Zheng's smile was about to disappear.

"grass!"

Lin Zheng cursed under his breath in annoyance, never expecting that he would be taken advantage of by this bastard when he wasn't paying attention.

Seeing Zhang Xuan's lewd and obsequious expression, he smiled disdainfully, sorted out his thoughts, and began to share his playing style.

"Why do you insist on spending money on her?" he asked the first question.

"Huh? Shouldn't you spend money on girls when you're with them?" Zhang Xuan asked naively.

He was bound by the idea that he should be considerate of girls and treat them well, and he couldn't change his mindset for a while.

"So why do you insist on spending money on her?" Lin Zheng remained silent, simply repeating the question.

"Oh, this..."

Zhang Xuan opened his mouth, as if he understood something, but he didn't quite understand it.

"If I don't spend money on her, she might not ask me out anymore." He finally grumbled, trying to suppress his anger.

"So?" Lin Zheng looked at him as if he were an idiot.

Seeing that he still didn't understand, he shook his head helplessly and stopped keeping him in suspense.

"You're such an idiot! Don't you know how to find someone who won't make you spend money? Or even someone who'll offer to pay for you?" he said in a tone of exasperation.

"what!?"

Zhang Xuan was shocked. How could he not have thought of that?

But he quickly gave up, "Come on, these days there aren't any women who would willingly spend money on a man!"

"Tch, how will you know if you don't try?" Lin Zheng sneered, then spent half an hour analyzing the target for him.

First of all, he can't be poor. Poor guys who are easy to get are likely to be popular and successful. Whether he'll sleep with you or not is unknown, but he'll definitely try to squeeze money out of you.

Secondly, she can't be too good-looking. If a girl is too good-looking, she'll have a bunch of admirers around her. How can you expect a girl surrounded by admirers to spend money on you willingly?
