Several male university students, out looking for food, were so captivated by Su Lexuan's appearance that they missed their bus.

They stood rooted to the spot, warring with themselves internally, wondering whether to approach her for her contact information.

When Su Lexuan's gaze swept over them, they suddenly had the illusion of being secretly observed by a beautiful woman, and their courage to ask for her number grew considerably.

Little did they know, Su Lexuan was simply looking for someone.

"Excuse me, I'm late."

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind her.

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

But when she turned around and looked at the familiar handsome man in front of her, she was a little dazed. It took her a while to stammer out, "Excuse me, are you...?"

"It's Shen Lang," he said.

Shen Lang reminded her with a wry smile, "It's only been a few days since we last saw each other, and you've already forgotten me?"

"You... you're Shen Lang?"

Su Lexuan found it hard to compare the sunny, handsome guy in front of her with the glasses-wearing, listless homebody she'd met last time.

Shen Lang pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands around his eyes like binoculars. "Can you tell now?"

"You... without your glasses, I didn't recognize you."

Su Lexuan laughed in understanding, then curiously asked, "Is it convenient for you not to wear glasses?"

Shen Lang nodded. "My nearsightedness isn't very severe, so it doesn't matter whether I wear them or not."

"Oh, I see."

Su Lexuan's voice held a hint of delight. Her seemingly calm and polite eyes were, in fact, very excitedly appraising the transformed Shen Lang in front of her.

His face was still the same face, but without his glasses, it was normal for Su Lexuan not to recognize him at first glance, especially since this was only their second meeting.

The most important thing was his aura. During their first meeting, Su Lexuan could distinctly feel Shen Lang's nervous, introverted homebody vibe.

But now, Su Lexuan couldn't feel that nervous, socially anxious aura from Shen Lang at all.

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

Could this be the difference between wearing glasses and not wearing them?

The contrast was too stark!

"You... you look quite handsome without your glasses."

Su Lexuan couldn't help but compliment him.

If Shen Lang's previous appeal to Su Lexuan was his humorous and witty conversation, and his drawback was his socially awkward, introverted homebody nature, then the current Shen Lang had no such drawbacks at all. His qualities in all aspects perfectly met Su Lexuan's requirements for a partner.

This was a very realistic thing.

Regardless of gender, no matter how far a relationship progresses, both parties hope that the person they care about can develop in the most ideal direction.

Boyfriends hope their girlfriends can have better figures and higher beauty, making them more presentable.

And isn't it the same for girlfriends?

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

[1: Compliment her beauty, and also ask her height. No matter what she says, remember to casually compliment her long legs!] [2: You're also pretty, but your chest isn't very big. I suggest you eat some papaya or similar fruits regularly.] [3: Thank you, you're quite alluring too, wearing Attack Speed Socks and all. So, can you not go back to school tonight? I want ice cream!]

"You're pretty too," Shen Lang said, pondering for a moment before curiously looking at Su Lexuan. "And you seem quite tall. Are you about 1.7 meters?"

"No, not that tall," Su Lexuan said, shaking her head a little shyly. "I'm only about 1.65 meters."

"Haha, maybe your legs are just long," Shen Lang casually complimented, extending his hand to gesture. "I feel like you almost reach my chest here."

"Haha, no, I'm not that tall. You're over 1.8 meters."

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

[Ding! Su Lexuan's Favorability towards the Host has increased by 2 points. It is currently 11 points. Please continue to work hard!]

Only then did Shen Lang understand why the System wanted him to casually compliment her.

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

"Alright, let's go eat first."

Shen Lang pointed in the direction of the snack street and said expectantly, "There's an old street over there. There's a lantern festival tonight, so it'll be very lively. After dinner, we can go stroll around there."

Today was Saturday, and Su Lexuan was out for the evening. As long as she didn't stay out all night, it was fine if she got back a little late.

With such a good opportunity, Shen Lang wasn't about to say goodbye to her right after dinner.

More importantly, if a girl is willing to go out with you at night, it means she has a certain Favorability towards you.

The atmosphere at night is more ambiguous, and women's emotions are often more heightened in the evening, making them easier to move.

Coupled with a guy they care about being nearby, most girls can't help but reveal more of their inner selves or their truest side to the man.

That's why it's often easier for guys to succeed when confessing their feelings at night than during the day.

Of course, there's always the possibility of a tragic ending where a night confession succeeds, only for the girl to text the next morning, "I thought about it carefully, and I don't think we're quite right for each other."

"Mhm."

Su Lexuan smiled sweetly and walked beside Shen Lang, chatting and laughing as they headed towards the snack street, leaving several heartbroken male university students behind them.

Shen Lang took Su Lexuan to a well-known Roast Duck restaurant.

After ordering, with the System's help, Shen Lang took the initiative to start a conversation.

Most of the topics the System provided were things Su Lexuan found interesting.

For example, campus life, celebrity gossip, and various horror films.

Just like at this moment, Shen Lang casually brought up a topic about roommates.

Su Lexuan took over the conversation and launched into a long, animated discussion, vividly describing the personalities and quirks of her roommates. She was clearly eager to express herself.

The main reason a girl might not want to chat with you is often because you haven't hit on a topic she likes.

Alternatively, your conversational skills might be too stiff and awkward, which can make a girl feel inexplicably annoyed.

Fortunately, Shen Lang had a cheat!

Otherwise, forget about chatting; he wouldn't even have been able to get Zhuhai University's campus beauty out for Roast Duck!

With the System's help, Shen Lang's mindset was undergoing a huge change, and even his conversational skills had greatly improved.

Sometimes, even without the System's prompts, Shen Lang could naturally continue the conversation.

After all, the System had taught him hand-in-hand. If he were still a timid, introverted person when dealing with girls, then he would truly be beyond redemption.

Just then, the server brought over steaming hot Red Oil Roast Duck and some side dishes.

While the two female servers were serving the food, Shen Lang and Su Lexuan were still engrossed in their conversation, completely oblivious to the auntie-like smiles on the two servers' faces.

Su Lexuan was naturally a lively and playful girl, but it was her first time meeting a boy one-on-one. Like most girls, she maintained a quiet and reserved demeanor.

She didn't expect, however, that after less than an hour of conversation, Su Lexuan would "reveal her true colors."

So, after the server finished placing all the dishes, she smiled at the chattering young couple and said, "You two, you can take your time falling in love, but you should eat the Roast Duck while it's hot!"
