Zhou Qiubai couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Feng Xiaotian took a sip of his drink helplessly and began to complain, "Let me tell you, Huo Wu is no ordinary person. Not only is she beautiful, but..."
What followed was a series of bizarre maneuvers that even Zhou Qiubai found difficult to understand.
He goes up there every day to get beaten up, then shamelessly goes to get slapped, and afterwards he even asks Huo Wu if her hand hurts.
No, you guys, this is beyond what War Wolf can explain.
As Zhou Qiubai listened, the expression on his face gradually became complicated.
As Yang Guyun chewed on some peanuts, he suddenly said, "You're not chasing someone."
"What is that?" Feng Xiaotian stopped what he was doing, his face full of confusion.
Yang Guyun calmly replied, "To be a dog."
There are countless simps in the Douluo Continent, among which Flender Feng Xiaotian are the most famous.
Unfortunately Feng Xiaotian succeeded in the end, while Flender...
Feng Xiaotian's face instantly turned pale; he was furious.
Zhou Qiubai almost spat out his drink and quickly covered his mouth.
Chen Xuan remained silent, his shoulders trembling slightly, as if he was suppressing a laugh.
After holding it in for a long time, Feng Xiaotian finally managed to squeeze out, " Brother Yang, you really know how to talk..."
"Enough of what?" Yang Guyun asked expressionlessly.
Feng Xiaotian sighed helplessly, "Straightforward enough."
Yang Guyun nodded. "Good to know."
Feng Xiaotian was filled with frustration. He took another sip of wine and turned to Zhou Qiubai: " Brother Zhou, do you have someone you like?"
Zhou Qiubai nodded seriously. "Yes."
Feng Xiaotian's eyes lit up; this was his chance!
Does she like you?
I think so.
Feng Xiaotian: "..."
What you're saying is pointless.
Zhou Qiubai continued, "Therefore, I cannot answer this question."
Feng Xiaotian's mood grew increasingly depressed.
Yang Guyun added, "His feelings were mutual, yours was unrequited; they're completely different."
Feng Xiaotian suddenly felt as if he had come here to be tormented.
He took another sip of wine, his face full of doubt, and asked, " Brother Zhou, what should I do? I'm so good to her, why isn't she interested?"
Zhou Qiubai looked at him quietly, pondered for a moment, and slowly said, "Brother Feng, have you ever considered that her 'kindness' to you might not be the kind of 'kindness' you want?"
Feng Xiaotian was stunned. "What do you mean?"
Zhou Qiubai continued to explain, "You're nice to her because you like her, but whether she accepts your kindness is her business. You can't assume she should like you just because you're nice to her."
Feng Xiaotian wanted to retort, but swallowed the words back.
Zhou Qiubai added, "Moreover, the way you're chasing people is likely to scare them away."
"Scared away?" Feng Xiaotian frowned.
Zhou Qiubai nodded. "You're always around her, thinking about everything for her. Does she have any space to think about her own feelings? If you keep pursuing her like this, she'll only feel pressured and want to run away."
Feng Xiaotian remained silent.
Yang Guyun picked up a piece of beef and casually said, "He sticks to her from morning till night, doesn't she get annoyed?"
Feng Xiaotian glared at him, but remained silent.
Chen Xuan then closed the book and slowly said, "The ospreys cry 'guan guan' on the river's islet. A fair maiden is the object of a gentleman's affections."
Feng Xiaotian looked at him, eagerly anticipating what would happen next.
"I cannot obtain it; I yearn for it day and night," Chen Xuan continued.
Feng Xiaotian was taken aback.
"It means you can't sleep if you can't win someone over. But you've been chasing them for three years and you're still chasing them, so it seems you're sleeping quite well." Chen Xuan's tone was somewhat teasing.
Feng Xiaotian: "..."
Zhou Qiubai almost burst out laughing.
Yang Guyun rarely showed a smile, though it was very faint.
Zhou Qiubai patted him on the shoulder. "Brother Feng, take my advice. If you really want to pursue her, then stop chasing her like this."
Feng Xiaotian looked puzzled. "Then how do I pursue her?"
Zhou Qiubai thought for a moment, then said seriously, "Do you know what she likes?"
"I like winning," Feng Xiaotian replied.
Zhou Qiubai nodded. "Then you'll win once."
Feng Xiaotian frowned. "What do you mean?"
Zhou Qiubai explained, "She's so competitive, she definitely likes people who are better than her. If you beat her once, she might notice you."
Feng Xiaotian seemed to understand but not quite. "But..."
Zhou Qiubai interrupted him, "Don't say 'but.' Think about it, you've been pursuing her for three years, has she even paid attention to you?"
Feng Xiaotian shook his head.
Zhou Qiubai continued, "Then let's try a different method; it'll definitely be better than the current one."
Feng Xiaotian fell into deep thought.
Moreover, Zhou Qiubai felt that Huo Wu in the original text had some masochistic tendencies.
He was beaten half to death by Tang San, but in the end, they actually developed some feelings for each other.
Therefore, the Huo Wu character cannot be dealt with using conventional methods.
Yang Guyun added from the side, "He's right. Your current method simply won't work."
Feng Xiaotian looked at him unwillingly. " Brother Yang, can't you say something nice?"
Yang Guyun thought for a moment, then said seriously, "Your alcohol tolerance is not bad."
Feng Xiaotian: "..."
Zhou Qiubai finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Feng Xiaotian shook his head helplessly, picked up his bowl, and said, "Fine, I'll do as you say. Come on, let's drink."
The four clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
After a few rounds of drinks and several dishes, the conversation gradually drifted off.
Feng Xiaotian began to recount the interesting stories of the Godwind Academy and the training methods of the Extreme Style.
Zhou Qiubai listened intently, nodding occasionally.
Yang Guyun occasionally chimed in with a comment that was always piercing to the heart.
" Brother Zhou, your team only had three people, how did you manage to fight?" Feng Xiaotian suddenly asked.
Zhou Qiubai replied, "Just fight like that."
"But you guys seem to be working together quite well," Feng Xiaotian said, expressing his doubt.
Zhou Qiubai glanced at Yang Guyun, then looked at Chen Xuan, and said calmly, "Teamwork is forged through battle."
Feng Xiaotian nodded, then asked curiously, "Brother Chen, do you actually know martial arts?"
Zhou Qiubai chuckled softly, but remained silent.
"No." Chen Xuan raised his head, his face serious.
Feng Xiaotian had some doubts, but he couldn't press the matter further.
Yang Guyun suddenly spoke up, "Don't bother asking, it's pointless."
"Why?" Feng Xiaotian, puzzled.
Yang Guyun said, "He never tells the truth."
They never lift a finger, yet it seems like they never actually do.
It felt like Chen Xuan was always deliberately avoiding trouble.
Chen Xuan smiled slightly, remaining silent, and said nothing more.
Feng Xiaotian was completely confused. "What are you talking about?"
"It's nothing. Let's drink." Zhou Qiubai waved his hand.
After several rounds of drinking, the two jars of wine were almost empty. Feng Xiaotian asked the owner to bring two more jars, and Yang Guyun's eyes lit up as well.
Zhou Qiubai looked at Feng Xiaotian and suddenly asked, "Brother Feng, how long do you plan to pursue Huo Wu?"
Feng Xiaotian paused for a moment, then thought carefully before answering, "I'll keep chasing him until I get him."
Zhou Qiubai smiled slightly, "Can't you catch him?"
"Then let's keep chasing." Feng Xiaotian without hesitation.
Zhou Qiubai couldn't help but laugh, "You're quite persistent."
"I can't help it, I just like it." Feng Xiaotian smiled as well.
Yang Guyun reminded him from the side, "It's fine to like something, but don't act like a dog."
Feng Xiaotian's face turned green again. " Brother Yang, can't you say something nice?"
Yang Guyun thought for a moment, then said seriously, "You're not bad looking."
Feng Xiaotian: "..."
