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

As soon as those words were spoken, the air seemed to fall silent.

A few seconds later, a series of silvery "giggle" sounds came from Lu Xue's mouth; she was amused by Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan fell silent, lost in a state of existential doubt.

Suddenly, his right hand was raised.

Before he could react, Lu Xue's head slipped under his armpit and she put his hand on her shoulder.

Zhang Xuan was bewildered, only to see Lu Xue looking at him with amusement: "Hey sir, how's it going? Is it comfortable hugging a girl?"

"So...comfortable...cough cough..."

"So, are you a good person now, or a rogue?" Lu Xue continued to look at him with a smile.

"I...I...cough cough cough..."

Zhang Xuan, a kind-hearted man, was so nervous that he couldn't speak for a moment.

......

Wei Yang, who had been momentarily lost in thought, quickly recovered and snuggled closer to Lin Zheng, asking ambiguously, "Lin Zheng, do you like me? Like, you fell in love with me at first sight?"

"I like it? Not really, I'm just setting an example for my buddy."

Lin Zheng denied it decisively. He looked around nervously, as if he had done something wrong, to see if there were any acquaintances around.

After realizing there were no acquaintances around, he scratched his head with his other hand, suppressing his embarrassment, and said "calmly": "It's because Zhang Xuan doesn't know how to pursue Lu Xue, so he insisted that I set an example. Well, I can only drag you along as an example."

When he uttered a sentence that left the girl utterly speechless, Wei Yang felt completely awful.

For the first time in her life, she began to doubt her own charm.

Soon, she was speechless with shame and anger. She tried to shake off Lin Zheng's arm, but the more she struggled, the tighter Lin Zheng's wrist gripped her neck, refusing to let go.

Finally, unable to contain her anger, she said coquettishly, "Is this how you make a sample for him?"

Lin Zheng coughed twice, his old face flushed, and he argued in a gentlemanly manner, "Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but Buddha remains in the heart. As long as we don't overthink it, isn't that enough? You're my good friend! Isn't it normal for good friends to put their arms around each other?"

After overcoming the initial awkwardness, he gradually relaxed, and his tone became more flippant.

Perhaps he has a natural talent for being a blond guy, which is why he can do these things so easily.

"Huh? What? I'm a girl! Can I just casually put my arm around a guy like that? Even my boyfriend wouldn't be allowed, right?"

Wei Yang also calmed down from the initial tension and awkwardness, and no longer resisted, but just kept arguing with Lin Zheng.

Seeing this, Lin Zheng quickly changed the subject: "Speaking of boyfriends, come to think of it, you're such a smooth player! How many boyfriends have you had?"

"Trash? Pfft! What? Did I trash your rice?"

Wei Yang snorted and crossed her arms, like an angry little girlfriend being led around the neck by Lin Zheng.

"It's nothing, I'm just curious. Tell me about it?"

Lin Zheng was indeed quite curious. This kind of girl, she might have already dated more than a dozen people, right?

The thing called a "bad girl"...

This has always been the stereotype people have.

"Don't ask, the answer is two. I won't date more than three times. And I'll date my third boyfriend for the rest of my life."

Sure enough, a rather perfunctory sentence came out of Wei Yang's mouth, making Lin Zheng roll his eyes.

It's better to just be friends with this kind of girl... he feels a bit uncomfortable with her as a girlfriend.

Looking back, Zhang Xuan had already made his move, lewdly imitating him by embracing Lu Xue.

This made Lin Zheng look at him in a new light.

Good guy!

He set an example himself, and he actually succeeded?

This silly kid has finally figured it out!

A kind, fatherly smile appeared on his face.

The next moment, he decisively withdrew his hand from Wei Yang's shoulder.

A gentle night breeze blew against Wei Yang's shoulders, and her black curly hair, no longer held down by her arms, fluttered back lightly, quickly returning to its original fluffy state.

She glanced at Lin Zheng, then looked back at Zhang Xuan and Lu Xue.

"Are you really just setting an example for your brother?" she asked, puzzled.

For some reason, she felt empty and a little uncomfortable inside.

She thought about it and realized that this was a feeling of being ignored that she had never experienced before.

In short, it was very uncomfortable.

"if not?"

Lin Zheng smiled and happened to pass by a milk tea shop, so he went inside.

"Boss, two cups of milk tea, please."

He called out to the owner, who was sitting on a high stool behind the counter, scrolling through short videos.

"Okay, what would you like to drink?"

When a customer came in, the owner immediately stood up with a smile, took out a cup, and prepared to make milk tea.

"What would you like to drink?" Lin Zheng turned to look at Wei Yang.

"Let me think about it."

As Wei Yang spoke, she pointed to her smooth chin with her finger, her eyes scanning the signboard.

Soon, her slender finger pointed to the Oreo milk tea sign: "I want this!"

"OK, boss, two cups of Oreo milk tea, please." Lin Zheng nodded in confirmation immediately.

"I want strawberry milk tea."

On the other side, Lu Xue said to Zhang Xuan in a coquettish tone.

"Okay, okay, boss, two strawberry milk teas, hehe~."

Before he hugged Lu Xue, Zhang Xuan was extremely unwilling to have his gold coins stolen again, but now he was willing to do so.

There was no way around it; the girl was so soft and smelled so sweet, he admitted he was really smitten again.

Although Lu Xue wasn't as pretty as Wei Yang, she took the initiative!

If the guys have enjoyed themselves, isn't it normal to spend a little money?

With their milk tea in hand, Lin Zheng and Wei Yang continued walking ahead.

While Wei Yang was inserting the tube, he suddenly put his arm around her shoulder again, whispered in her ear, and said, "My good friend, I'll treat you to milk tea tonight as a thank you for your help. Don't be shy!"

After he finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving behind a warm smile.

Then he greeted the group, saying, "Take care, I've arrived."

"OK, OK, take care, Lao Lin," Zhang Xuan replied first.

"Okay, goodbye Lin Zheng," Lu Xue said.

Wei Yang didn't say anything. She just stretched out her right hand, opened her palm like a kitten, and cutely and gently scratched Lin Zheng a few times.

Watching Lin Zheng's departing figure, she felt a void in her heart.

This was the first time; it was the first time a boy had ever walked with his arm around her so intimately.

Most importantly, he even used the excuse of setting an example for his brothers.

That's absolutely ridiculous!

"But... this is the first time I've ever been hugged by a boy!"

Thinking of this, a sweet smile unconsciously appeared on Wei Yang's face, and she was very happy.

Chapter 59 The Dark Horse, Zhang Xuan!

[Task Hint: Not intentionally flirtatious, completion count +1, current progress (1/3)]

Alone, Lin Zheng looked at the information that appeared before him and a smirk appeared on his face.

So, this is the true meaning of unintentional ambiguity?

A high-level tactic unique to the "good guy" playstyle: "unintentional" ambiguity.

The next day, Monday.

At 7:10 a.m. sharp, homeroom teacher Yang Quan entered the classroom.

As usual, he made everyone stand up and give a ten-minute, extremely shameful oath.

"With faith as my banner and ideals as my sword, I hereby solemnly pledge:"

With a vow to aspire to great heights, and with hearts as vast as mountains and seas, never wavering in our lofty ambitions;

We pledge to put our knowledge and actions into practice, and overcome all obstacles to eradicate the ailment of laziness.

Three vows were made to persevere through all difficulties, and facing the hardships head-on, they forged an iron backbone.

We pledge to cherish every second as if it were gold, and to build our ideal city with every second as a brick.

Five vows to accumulate strength and unleash it, and to hone one's sharpness with a calm and focused mind.

......

I swear! I will use the strength I have today to overcome the laziness of yesterday, and I will use the strength I have tomorrow to overcome the mediocrity of today!

I swear! Let my youth be tempered into steel through hard work, and let my life bloom in glory through struggle!

......"

On the entire floor, only Class 7 was going crazy. The most important thing is that most of the students in the class shouted it so many times during the oath that it became a habit and actually stimulated their inner original motivation.

"Alright, after you've finished taking the oath, write down your motto again."

As long as you persevere and finish your last shift, once the college entrance exam is over, you can do whatever you want, and everything will be alright.

Go go go!!!

Yang Quan then gave everyone another round of brainwashing-style encouragement before leaving the classroom with a smile.

After Lin Zheng finished writing his motto, he glanced at Zhang Xuan.

The message read: "When autumn comes and I go to university, I will surely take up my gun and fight on all sides!"

Hmm, not bad, this fits Zhang Xuan's ideal perfectly—to hook up with women everywhere after entering university.

"Hey? Old Lin, why has your motto changed? Wasn't it something like 'Be the first to worry about the world's troubles and the last to enjoy its pleasures' or 'When you're successful, help others; when you're unsuccessful, cultivate your own virtue'?"

How did it turn into trying to pick up girls for the sake of national rise?

Zhang Xuan leaned closer with a cheeky grin, his two arched eyebrows twitching incessantly.

"Have you been seeing girls a lot these past few days, so like me, you're just looking to pick up girls everywhere?" he continued to press.

"You're overthinking it. Who's like you? This guy is taking the world as his responsibility and working hard to pick up girls for the sake of the common people. Do you even know what it means to be responsible for the fate of the nation? If you don't have any noble sentiments, I'm ashamed to be associated with you."

Lin Zheng feigned nobility and expressed his disdain for Zhang Xuan.

That's how the two of them get along. This guy wasn't annoyed; he just smiled and changed the subject: "Hey, Lao Lin, how about we go out for lunch together? Teach me another trick; I want to learn how to pick up girls."

"If you keep chasing girls like this, you might end up staying at Songyun School for the college entrance exam. By the way, how are Lu Xue's grades? Is there any chance you two could go to the same university?"

Lin Zheng neither agreed nor refused, but instead asked.

"Lu Xue? She doesn't seem like a good match. She might end up as a college graduate. Oh my god, if I were with her, my girlfriend would be a college graduate..."

Zhang Xuan immediately began to ramble on about his worries.

How could someone as prestigious as me, a college graduate, have a girlfriend who only has a vocational college diploma?

He was very conflicted about this.

This seems to be a common problem among men: after pursuing someone for a while and feeling that things are going well, they start to consider the difference in their social status.

Lin Zheng was also somewhat conflicted about this, but didn't say anything.
