Several male college students who had come looking for food were so captivated by Su Lexuan's look that they missed their bus.

They stood off to the side, waging an internal battle with themselves as they debated whether to go up and ask for her contact information.

When Su Lexuan's gaze swept over them,

the male students immediately got the illusion that the beauty was secretly checking them out, and their confidence in asking for her contact information grew considerably.

Little did they know that Su Lexuan was merely looking for someone.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind her.

Su Lexuan's heart stirred, and she quickly turned around to greet him.

But when she turned around and saw the handsome man before her, who looked vaguely familiar, she froze for a moment before finally squeezing out a few words. "Excuse me, you are...?"

"I'm Shen Lang."

Shen Lang laughed helplessly and reminded her, "It's only been a few days. Did you forget me that quickly?"

"Y-you're Shen Lang?"

Su Lexuan found it hard to connect the sunny, handsome boy before her with the bespectacled otaku from last time, who had seemed so dispirited.

Shen Lang pondered for a moment, then raised his hands in front of his eyes like binoculars. "Can you recognize me like this?"

"Y-you don't wear glasses, so I didn't recognize you at all."

Only then did Su Lexuan realize who he was. She smiled and asked curiously, "Is it convenient for you not to wear glasses?"

Shen Lang nodded. "My nearsightedness isn't that serious. It doesn't really matter whether I wear them or not."

"Oh, I see."

There was even a hint of delight in Su Lexuan's voice. Her eyes looked calm and polite, yet they were excitedly studying the transformed Shen Lang before her.

He still had the same face, but without his glasses, it was perfectly normal that Su Lexuan had not recognized him at first glance. Besides, this was only their second meeting.

More importantly, it was his temperament. When they had first met, Su Lexuan had clearly sensed Shen Lang's nervous, introverted otaku aura.

But now, Su Lexuan could not feel that nervous, socially anxious aura from Shen Lang at all.

Instead, he seemed like a vibrant, sunny, cheerful young man.

Was this really the difference between wearing glasses and not wearing them?

The contrast was way too great!

"Y-you look pretty handsome without glasses."

Su Lexuan could not help complimenting him.

If Shen Lang's humorous and witty way of speaking had attracted Su Lexuan before, while his socially anxious and introverted otaku temperament had cost him points,

then the current Shen Lang had no flaws that could cost him points at all. In every way, he perfectly matched Su Lexuan's requirements for a partner.

This was a very realistic thing.

Regardless of whether they were male or female, no matter how far a relationship had progressed, everyone hoped that the person they cared about would develop in the most perfect direction possible.

A boyfriend hoped his girlfriend would have a better figure and a prettier face, so he would look more impressive taking her out.

Wasn't it the same for girlfriends?

No girl would like taking a socially anxious, introverted boyfriend out shopping.

1: Compliment her on being pretty, then ask her height. No matter what number she gives, remember to casually praise her long legs! 2: You're pretty too, but your chest isn't very big. I suggest eating more fruit like papaya in your daily life. 3: Thanks, you're pretty hot too. You're even wearing Attack Speed Socks, so can you not go back to school tonight? I want ice cream!

"You're pretty too."

After thinking for a moment, Shen Lang gave Su Lexuan a curious once-over. "And you seem pretty tall. You're about 1.7 meters, right?"

"No, I'm not that tall."

Su Lexuan shook her head somewhat shyly. "I'm only around 1.65 meters."

"Haha, maybe your legs are just pretty long."

Shen Lang complimented her casually, raising a hand to gesture. "It feels like you almost reach my chest."

"Haha, I'm not that tall. You're over 1.8 meters yourself."

Su Lexuan shifted her calf clad in white stockings and smiled a little shyly, but she looked genuinely happy.

Ding! Su Lexuan's Favorability toward the host has increased by 2 points. Current Favorability: 11 points. Keep up the good work!

Only then did Shen Lang understand why the system had told him to compliment her casually.

Because a casual attitude was the most sincere kind of compliment!

"Let's go. We'll eat first."

Shen Lang pointed toward the snack street and said expectantly, "There's an old street over there. There'll be a lantern festival tonight, so it should be really lively. After dinner, let's go take a look."

It was Saturday, and Su Lexuan had come out to have fun at night. As long as she did not stay out all night, it did not matter if she returned a little late.

With such a good opportunity, there was no way Shen Lang would say goodbye to her right after dinner.

More importantly, if a girl was willing to go out with you at night, it meant she had a favorable impression of you.

The atmosphere at night was more ambiguous, and girls were more emotionally sensitive at night, making them easier to move.

On top of that, with a boy she cared about by her side, most girls would unconsciously show the guy more of what was in their hearts, or their truest side.

That was why confessions made by boys at night were often more likely to succeed than those made during the day.

Of course, there was also the miserable possibility that a confession succeeded at night, only for the girl to send, "I thought it over carefully, and I don't think we're quite right for each other," after one night had passed.

"Mm-hm."

Su Lexuan smiled sweetly and walked beside Shen Lang toward the snack street, chatting and laughing with him, leaving several heartbroken male college students behind them.

Shen Lang took Su Lexuan to a rather famous roast duck restaurant.

After ordering, Shen Lang took the lead in starting a conversation with the system's help.

The topics suggested by the system were mostly things Su Lexuan was interested in.

Things like campus life, celebrity gossip, and all kinds of horror movies.

For instance, at that very moment, Shen Lang casually brought up a topic about roommates.

Once Su Lexuan picked up the topic, she began talking at length with great interest, vividly discussing the personalities and little quirks of her roommates. She had a strong desire to talk.

In truth, a major reason girls did not want to chat with you was that you had not brought up topics they liked.

Or your conversational skills were too stiff and awkward, making girls feel inexplicably irritated.

Fortunately, Shen Lang had cheats!

Otherwise, forget chatting—there was no way he could have invited the Campus Belle of Zhuhai University out for duck!

With the system's help, Shen Lang's mindset was also undergoing enormous changes, and even his conversational skills had improved greatly.

Sometimes, even without the system's prompts, Shen Lang could smoothly carry the conversation forward.

After all, the system had taught him step by step. If he still acted timid and introverted around girls, then he truly would be beyond saving.

Just then, the waiter brought over steaming red-oil roast duck and several side dishes.

As the two waitresses served the food, Shen Lang and Su Lexuan were still chatting enthusiastically, completely ignoring the auntie-like smiles on the two waitresses' faces.

Su Lexuan had always been a lively, playful girl. It was only because this was her first time meeting a boy alone that, like most girls, she had put on a quiet and reserved front.

But unexpectedly, after chatting for less than an hour, Su Lexuan had already revealed her true nature.

So, after the waitress finished serving all the dishes, she smiled at the chatty young couple.

"You two can take your time falling in love, but the roast duck has to be eaten while it's hot!"
