This question seems simple and straightforward, but it actually hides a trap. Guys with low emotional intelligence would find it hard to detect the seriousness of this question.
Most guys, when faced with this kind of question, would very directly say: You both look good!
That answer is acceptable, but the girl who asked the question will definitely make you choose one!
As long as a girl asks this, no matter who the guy picks as the prettiest, he'll more or less offend the other girls.
What's worse, some girls will even make the guy rank the girls based on their looks.
Of course, that would be too much; only a truly clueless girl would ask such a question.
But Shen Lang was fearless; he had a cheat!
[1: Strict requirement: I can't tell with your clothes on. How about you take them off, and I'll review them one by one!] [2: Direct answer: They're both very pretty. Pretend to look disdainfully at the questioner: As for you, well, if I hadn't met Su Lexuan, I might have pursued you.] [3: Go up and slap her. See if she still acts crazy!]
"They're both very pretty."
Shen Lang gave his answer readily, pausing deliberately, then looked up and down at Ye Xinxin with disdain: "As for you…"
His two roommates exchanged glances, a little thrilled, but also a bit awkwardly looking at Ye Xinxin.
Shen Lang's scrutinizing gaze didn't seem very friendly. Was he going to say Ye Xinxin was ugly? That would really ruin the friendly atmosphere they had just built!
"Then, what about me?"
Ye Xinxin raised an eyebrow, gripping her bag a little tighter, and forced a strained smile as she asked, "How am I?"
"Heh heh, if I hadn't met Lexuan…"
Shen Lang said with a chuckle, "I might have pursued you first."
"Ah! How dare you!"
As soon as Shen Lang finished speaking, Su Lexuan angrily started punching him with her pink fists: "She's my best friend!!"
"No, I'm just kidding, don't bite me!"
Shen Lang couldn't help but dodge Su Lexuan's combo, urging, "Alright, hurry and get in the car to turn on the AC, it's really hot outside."
Watching the two of them playfully bicker, his two roommates were first stunned, then unexpectedly burst out laughing.
Su Lexuan's boyfriend, he's really something!
The girls playfully got into the car. The slightly awkward atmosphere, thanks to Shen Lang's impeccable response, became even more lively and cheerful.
Shen Lang pointed to the red plastic bag next to Su Lexuan, which contained recently bought iced drinks: "Lexuan, share the water with your friends."
"Mhm."
Su Lexuan didn't dwell on Shen Lang's answer; after all, everyone knew he was just joking. She smilingly distributed the water to her roommates.
"Shen Lang, when did you and Lexuan meet?"
"Shen Lang, where are you from?"
The roommates, holding their cold drinks, eagerly tried to strike up a conversation with Shen Lang.
Shen Lang was handsome, and his physique looked good too.
But guys like him were a dime a dozen at Zhuhai University.
Compared to looks, girls still preferred guys with a humorous and interesting personality.
Of course, this excluded guys who were genuinely too ugly to look at.
Even if they were humorous and interesting, they'd only be considered funny Goblins.
"Oh, what are you doing? Didn't you see he's driving!"
Seeing her roommates acting all smitten, Su Lexuan immediately got annoyed. She regretted bringing Shen Lang out to meet this bunch.
This guy, he's pretty good.
Ye Xinxin, a seasoned online player, sat in the back, observing Shen Lang's handsome profile, and nodded slightly in unexpected admiration.
She and Su Lexuan had been best friends for many years, so she naturally wouldn't make things difficult for Su Lexuan's boyfriend.
Lately, Su Lexuan's thoughts had been entirely on Shen Lang, which made Ye Xinxin feel a little jealous, so she had wanted Shen Lang to suffer a bit.
However, Ye Xinxin hadn't expected that such a tricky question from her could be handled so easily by Shen Lang, and he even managed to flirt back.
Ye Xinxin was certain that this guy's level was definitely above hers.
[Ding! Li Qiaoqiao's Favorability towards the Host has increased by 20 points, currently 48 points. Please keep up the good work!] [Ding! Fang Lili's Favorability towards the Host has increased by 10 points, currently 35 points. Please keep up the good work!] [Ding! Ye Xinxin's Favorability towards the Host has increased by 2 points, currently 7 points. Please keep up the good work!]
Shen Lang treated Su Lexuan's roommates to a seafood feast and then took them to play all afternoon at Jianghai City's famous Pearl Tower.
It wasn't until evening that they decided to head back.
"Shen Lang, let's exchange contact info."
"Yeah, Shen Lang, next time we're free, you can drive us out to have some fun again!"
After spending the day together, Su Lexuan's roommates were truly envious of her boyfriend, who was not only humorous and fun but also so handsome.
Even with Su Lexuan, his girlfriend, right there, the roommates still boldly wanted to ask Shen Lang for his contact information.
A few of them even had a daring idea brewing in their minds, thinking that once they got his WeChat, they'd immediately launch their offensive!
Shen Lang was naturally enjoying himself, though not because he was surrounded by several girls, but because of the hundreds of thousands he'd earned!
In just one afternoon, with the System's help, Shen Lang had earned over 800,000 in cash rewards from Su Lexuan's roommates.
Aside from Ye Xinxin, who had a lower resistance and only gained 7 points, the Favorability of the other two roommates towards Shen Lang shot straight up.
One of them, a loli-type girl with a bun hairstyle named Li Qiaoqiao, had an astonishing 48 Favorability points for Shen Lang!
Shen Lang felt that if he added her on WeChat, he might be able to call her up for a chat and invite her to a hotel to discuss the ultimate meaning of life.
Of course, Shen Lang wouldn't be so tasteless.
Girls whose Favorability rose so quickly usually indicated a more open personality.
With a Campus Belle girlfriend like Su Lexuan, who would risk something so low-class?
"No way! Shen Lang is my boyf—"
Su Lexuan immediately hugged Shen Lang's arm, declaring her ownership and proudly rejecting them on his behalf. "Shen Lang only needs my contact information!"
"How stingy!"
The two roommates pouted and complained, but there was nothing they could do. After all, he was her boyfriend.
"Alright, alright, let's take a taxi back."
Ye Xinxin stretched lazily. "They finally get some alone time; let's not intrude."
As soon as she said this, Su Lexuan immediately cast a grateful look at Ye Xinxin!
She truly was her best friend of over a decade!
"Shen Lang, I'm entrusting our Lexuan to you."
Ye Xinxin seriously instructed him, "But if you dare to let her down, I'll..."
Ye Xinxin raised her hand and made a scissor-snapping motion, the meaning clear.
After observing him all afternoon, Ye Xinxin felt that this guy was quite good; at least he was genuinely sincere towards her best friend.
The only thing that made Ye Xinxin uneasy was how good he was at chatting.
In just one afternoon, these roommates were so captivated by Shen Lang that even she almost wavered!
Who knew what his life was like outside of this?
But with such a beautiful Campus Belle girlfriend, he probably wouldn't go around flirting with others, right?
Ye Xinxin thought to herself.
