Discussing How to "Fall in Love"

"I've eaten more salt than you've walked roads, and you still think you can trick me?" Murong glanced at Zhou Hao dismissively.

Hearing this, Zhou Hao blurted out, "Then you're an old woman."

"Bang~"

As soon as he finished speaking, he received a heavy blow to the head.

Murong leisurely withdrew her delicate palm and asked, "Still talking back?"

Zhou Hao touched the bump on his head, his face contorted, and said, "No more."

Murong nodded with satisfaction, then returned to the main topic, "Regarding what you called 'falling in love,' I agree, but how to achieve it is the biggest problem."

She paused and added, "I've never been in a relationship, so I don't really understand."

Zhou Hao opened his mouth, then immediately closed it. He really wanted to retort, 'She's so old and never been in a relationship?'

After thinking that, he wanted to give Murong a pitying look.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the guts, so the words that came to his mouth were: "I haven't either, but even if I haven't eaten pork, haven't I seen pigs run? With my years of experience watching idol dramas, romance novels, and various TV shows and movies, falling in love is very simple."

"Oh?" Murong looked at him with great interest and asked, "Then what's your suggestion?"

Zhou Hao flashed a "cunning" smile. "Heh heh, first, you have to treat me well, don't hit me, don't scold me, listen to everything I say..."

"Boom~"

Before he could finish, he was sent flying, plastered against the wall of the secret room, and then slowly slid down.

Zhou Yuanbao peeked with its two paws covering its eyes. It was only looking, showing concern for Zhou Hao. It didn't dare to truly go up.

Mom is too terrifying, terrifying in every sense of the word.

Murong flashed and appeared in front of Zhou Hao, looking down at him sprawled on the ground, and asked, "Am I treating you well?"

"Good... good," Zhou Hao said, gasping for breath.

Did he dare to say no? If he dared to say no, he was sure Murong would hit him again.

Murong said, "Don't be a smart aleck, give me a proper suggestion."

She had figured it out; Zhou Hao just had to be a smart aleck sometimes, or he wouldn't feel right.

Zhou Hao got up, sighed leisurely. He had gotten too carried away just now and couldn't stop himself in time.

However, he had to admit that if Murong really treated him as he had suggested, he would be incredibly happy. Unfortunately, that was only possible in his dreams; in reality...

Thinking this, he looked up at Murong and sighed, shaking his head.

It was probably impossible in this lifetime.

"What do you mean by shaking your head?" Murong's voice, as cold as frost, cut through the air.

Zhou Hao couldn't help but tremble and quickly said, "Nothing, I just haven't thought of any good ideas for now, so I'm a bit discouraged."

Murong couldn't help but roll her eyes. Although she didn't know Zhou Hao's true thoughts, she was certain he was lying.

She thought to herself, 'It seems I need to prepare some [Truth Serum Pills]. This guy is full of lies.'

Zhou Hao thought for a moment and then seriously suggested, "What do couples usually do? We'll do that. Let's just cultivate our feelings for now. We can discuss any better ideas later!"

"We did it!" Murong said matter-of-factly.

Zhou Hao's mind went blank. "When did we do it?"

Murong pointed to the ceiling. "We did it just now."

I don't believe this.

Zhou Hao collapsed to the ground weakly. I'm truly speechless. That counts?

While it was true that some couples did that, some couples hadn't even reached that stage yet, okay?

"Is there a problem?" Murong asked, frowning.

Zhou Hao rubbed his temples and sighed, "You're a complete idiot when it comes to relationships."

He then explained, "What we should do is what typical couples do. Some couples haven't even reached that stage yet, okay?"

"Oh~" Murong suddenly understood. "So that's how it is."

Zhou Hao pressed his middle finger against his temple. Unbelievable. I never expected such a powerful woman to have such an idiotic side.

But why did she look a little cute?

Murong asked, "Then what should we do? Tell me."

Zhou Hao pondered for a moment and said, "Couples usually go through a few stages. First, confession. If both parties are willing, then they are a couple. We can skip this step!"

Confess to Murong? How could he do something so disgusting?

Murong suddenly transformed into a "why-a-million" questioner and asked, "Why?"

"Uh..." Zhou Hao thought for a moment and said, "Because we're already together, there's no need for such a meaningless step."

Murong thought about it and felt it made sense, so she nodded slightly. "I'll listen to you."

Wow!

Zhou Hao's mood suddenly improved a lot. That "I'll listen to you" exploded in his ears. Ever since he met Murong, this was the first time he felt so great, a real sense of vindication.

"Huh?" Zhou Hao suddenly snapped out of it, thinking to himself, Why am I feeling so good over three words? Have I been suppressed by that old hag for too long and become a pervert?

No, no, Zhou Hao, you need to be careful. Don't become a pervert!

He silently encouraged himself.

"Hey, continue! What are you spacing out for?" Murong urged.

"Uh..." Zhou Hao snapped back to reality, coughed twice to ease his internal awkwardness, and then got back to the main topic: "The second step is confirming the relationship. Usually, people are in the honeymoon phase, sticking together every day, inseparable."

He wasn't sure if this was right, as he had never been in a relationship. Back then, he had spent all his time on studying and work, with no time to find a girlfriend.

Murong listened, her brow furrowed. "I'm afraid we can't do that. We only meet once every three days."

Zhou Hao knew this and said, "So, we shouldn't just do 'that thing.' We should cherish the time we spend together and do something meaningful."

"Having a child is the most meaningful thing," Murong said seriously, looking at Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao was slightly taken aback but could understand. For Murong, it was indeed the case; her goal was to get pregnant.

He thought for a moment and said, "Then our 'falling in love' is also for having a child! How can we fall in love without nurturing feelings?"

Murong pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Once every three days. This is my biggest concession."

Once every three days?

Zhou Hao didn't understand at first but quickly got it. She meant that after they met, they had to be intimate once, and the remaining time would be for other things.

This was acceptable. Once wouldn't make him as exhausted as before.

He nodded. "Okay, once every three days. We'll do other things with the remaining time."

However, he hadn't figured out what those "other things" should be.
