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

Looking at the group photo, Jiang Luoyu became increasingly angry.

She had a vague suspicion that Lin Zheng's trip to Jiangcheng was to find her!

At this thought, she became very angry with Lin Zheng, but she knew she couldn't be angry with him.

She knew that if she got angry and acted up, she might push Lin Zheng away.

Just as I remember, Yang Wan took advantage of the situation and snatched it away.

But what should I do?

This really worried her terribly. She was on the verge of tears.

......

Just as Jiang Luoyu was at a loss, Lin Zheng had already driven his electric scooter back to the outside of Jiangcheng University with Yang Wan.

After parking the car, the two strolled around the neighborhood and unexpectedly discovered a street full of snacks.

Perhaps due to the summer heat, neither of them had an appetite, so they bought some snacks to take back to their dorm to eat, such as braised pork ribs and duck neck.

During her walk, Yang Wan stuffed a piece of pork rib into her mouth, her cheek bulging out as she casually asked, "Hey? Who is that person with the ID Jiang Xinyi? I see she leaves you goodnight messages every night."

Jiang Xinyi was the online name that Jiang Luoyu voluntarily changed after Lin Zheng left several messages saying "Goodnight, Jiang Xinyi".

Compared to Yang Wan, she was practically a greenhorn.

She was clearly aggrieved and dissatisfied, but she wouldn't say anything, insisting on waiting for Lin Zheng to notice something was wrong so he could take the initiative to coax her.

At this moment, Yang Wan realized something was wrong and tentatively asked her about it.

Seeing that Lin Zheng remained silent for a moment, she said with amusement, "You're not like me, you're also an online friend, are you?"

"What are you thinking? She's not an online friend of mine."

Lin Zheng took a piece of pork rib from the bag of ribs in her hand, stuck it in his mouth with a toothpick, and pretended to be calm.

"Oh? Who is she? Why does she leave you goodnight messages every day?"

Yang Wan wouldn't let the matter rest.

"My high school deskmate, and also my good friend."

The rule of picking up girls: never lie, otherwise, once discovered, it will create a rift that is difficult to heal.

Therefore, Lin Zheng told part of the truth.

The strength of the "good friends" strategy lies in the fact that you're not afraid of your current friends discovering the existence of other friends.

"Oh? My high school deskmate and... best friend?"

Yang Wan's eyes looked strange; she had a feeling that something was amiss.

"Do you know what 'goodnight' means?" she asked tentatively.

"What could it mean? It just means goodnight and go to sleep, right?"

Lin Zheng stubbornly insisted.

"Goodnight" actually means "I love you..."

Yang Wan stopped halfway through her sentence because she caught a glimpse of Lin Zheng's eyes, which seemed to be about to succeed in his scheme.

She quickly said shyly, "You're so naughty, you were just trying to trick me, weren't you?"

"Ugh, what's with all the tricks? But we really do have a good relationship."

Lin Zheng continued to reveal some facts, which only elicited a simple "Oh" from Yang Wan, who looked somewhat sullen.

After a while, she asked again, "She's not your girlfriend, is she?"

"What? Is she your girlfriend? What do you want?"

During the struggle, Lin Zheng took the initiative, his expression becoming playful, "Could it be that you want to be my girlfriend?"

As expected, Lin Zheng only made a slight move, and Yang Wan panicked and became flustered.

Her face flushed instantly, and she turned her head away, huffing, "Ha! Lin Zheng, what are you thinking? I treat you as a friend, and you actually want to hit on me? Humph!"

"Alright, alright, I'll consider you a good friend too, okay?"

Lin Zheng smiled gently, took the toothpick in his right hand with his left, and then affectionately stroked the girl's hair with his right hand.

After a brief conversation, Yang Wan skipped over Jiang Luoyu's identity.

Instead of taking the bus back to their dormitory, the two opened their phone maps and followed the navigation to take another route.

The bus route circles around the school, on a kind of peripheral route.

The walking route for students to return to their dormitories is much shorter, passing through the teaching buildings and the playground.

By mid-June, many university students had already gone home, but a considerable number remained on campus.

Passing by a three-way intersection, there was a courier supermarket, where students were coming and going in a constant stream.

Not far away is a playground, which combines basketball court, football field, horizontal bar, parallel bar, badminton court and other facilities. It is very large.

The college students were sweating profusely, especially the large group of men and women jogging on the football field, which was quite an eye-opener for Lin Zheng.

"Wow, the university's sports field is so big! And they all look so relaxed," he exclaimed.

"Not only that, Jiangcheng University seems to have three sports fields, but this one is the largest."

Yang Wan chimed in from the side.

This wasn't her first time visiting Jiangcheng University.

As a local and a top student, Jiangcheng University was naturally within her application range.

Why did you later decide to apply to Nancheng University?

The main thing is... you can't just stay in the same place to study for your whole life, right?

As they walked, the two arrived at the entrance of the girls' dormitory.

Unlike the boys' dormitory, the girls' dormitory has a main entrance, and the dormitory area is enclosed by iron gates and walls.

At this time, a commotion broke out outside the main gate, and a large crowd had gathered.

The two walked over and saw a boy kneeling at the gate, snot and tears streaming down his face.

Not far from him, a girl wearing a short-sleeved shirt, hot pants, and slippers crossed her arms and looked at him with a sarcastic expression.

I overheard someone nearby saying that this guy had broken up with the girl not far away and was trying to get back together with her. He knelt outside for almost half an hour before she finally came down.

"Really? It's just a breakup, why are you acting so pathetic?"

Lin Zheng was completely shocked.

He thought to himself, "Are there really that many weirdos in universities?"

Shouldn't a man kneel to heaven, earth, his parents, and in some special circumstances?

Breaking up with my girlfriend makes me feel so pathetic...

"Wanwan, do you think he can get back together with his ex-girlfriend?" he asked Yang Wan, who was standing next to him.

Yang Wan shook her head without hesitation: "No, girls won't agree. From a biological point of view, women admire strength. When faced with a man who appears weaker than themselves, they are likely to look down on him."

Look at her, isn't she looking down on the man kneeling? She even thinks he's shameful.

As a top student in science, Yang Wan naturally has very strong scientific thinking skills, and she even uses scientific thinking to analyze the essence of things and phenomena when doing things.

For example...

Lin Zheng explained that Jiang Xinyi, who had been leaving frequent messages for him, was just a good friend.

Can she really believe that?

Even if you can barely believe it, things might not be that simple.

At the very least, Jiang Xinyi likes Lin Zheng, and since Lin Zheng doesn't reject her, he must also have feelings for her.

None of that matters; the past is unimportant. The present and the future are what she focuses on.

Lin Zheng nodded thoughtfully, but he felt empathy for the boy who was kneeling and begging to get back together, and couldn't help but say, "But I don't think it's shameful for him to kneel down like that. On the contrary, I think he's very brave. After all, not everyone has that kind of courage."

Yang Wan cast a strange look at them; this was the first time they had a disagreement.

Lin Zheng noticed her unusual behavior and her silent shaking of her head, clearly indicating her disapproval.

A smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Hey, could you help me with my things first?"

As he spoke, he handed the duck neck in his hand to Yang Wan.

Yang Wan caught it reflexively, not knowing what Lin Zheng was going to do.

The next moment, Lin Zheng turned to the side and knelt on one knee in front of her.

As she looked on in astonishment, Lin Zheng untied and retied the loose shoelace on her right white shoe.

Soon, a pretty bow appeared on her shoe.

Lin Zheng stood up and looked at her with a smile.

How would you feel if a guy knelt down on one knee to tie your shoelaces?

Yang Wan didn't speak. Her heart was pounding. It was the first time a boy had knelt down at her feet, so considerately tying her shoelaces...

Wait! A dress?

Her face flushed instantly; she was wearing a dress today!

Did Lin Zheng see her just now...? Did he see inside her skirt?

Seeing that Yang Wan didn't say anything and just kept blushing, Lin Zheng was completely baffled.

After a while, Yang Wan said, "I don't think that boy is shameful anymore."

She indirectly admitted that Lin Zheng's behavior had touched her heart and made her feel very sweet.

She then continued, as if making a promise, "If we get together in the future, but then break up for some reason, if you can be like him, then I will definitely agree to get back together with you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zheng scoffed, "Tch~, I wouldn't be like him."

He thought to himself, "Why are all you girls the same?"

They're already thinking about arguing and breaking up before they're even together.

Duan tide is like this, and you are too. It's outrageous.

Yang Wan was somewhat unconvinced, even a little unhappy: "What? You're not willing? Or is it that you simply can't love a girl as deeply as he does?"

Unexpectedly, Lin Zheng asked seriously, "Would you make me kneel down in public in such a humiliating way?"

"I definitely won't!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Wan immediately shook her head repeatedly.

"Isn't that settled then?"

Lin Zheng smiled and patted her head again before taking his snack from her hand.

"Huh? I meant 'what if,' 'what if'."

Seeing that Lin Zheng inexplicably changed the subject, Yang Wan insisted on bringing the topic back to what it was.

"Choosing a path is choosing a home; a heart's commitment is making it a permanent journey. There are no 'what ifs.' My future girlfriend wouldn't let me do this, nor would she break up with me."

Yang Wan fell silent upon hearing this, and after a long while, she finally smiled.

"Alright, alright, it's getting late, I'm going back to my dorm now, bye-bye." Lin Zheng patted her hair again and said goodbye.

"OK."

After Lin Zheng turned around, Yang Wan curled her lips, her thoughts unknown.

She walked towards the dormitory gate, muttering to herself, "Choosing one person to decide one's life partner? Interesting."

Her emotions suddenly shifted, becoming extremely calm, and she realized she seemed a little abnormal.

When she was with Lin Zheng, she would exhibit all the reactions a girl should have, such as curiosity, shyness, anger, pleasure, and even physical urges.

But once the two are separated, especially when she is alone, the impulse in her heart will quickly fade, as if emotion has left and reason has returned.

The sweetness they had just shared vanished quickly, and a faint sense of disgust even crept into her heart.

She hated the lack of control she felt when she was with him.
