Giving Advice

Zhou Jinsu listened to Ling Xu, then looked at the glass of juice in his hand and lowered his eyes, lost in thought.

His expression was somewhat gloomy and conflicted.

Then he returned to normal.

Listening to Ling Xu, He Qing felt that it actually made a lot of sense.

Thinking carefully now, he really did not seem to talk much with his young wife.

And his young wife was young and beautiful, while he himself was rather old.

He lowered his eyes and pondered.

Zhan Yushan took out his phone and started searching. "It's fine, Brother He. I'll look up some solutions for you online right now."

"Got it, got it."

"Treat your partner better and let him feel the depth of your love."

"Bring him a bouquet of flowers every day when you get home from work, and create little surprises."

"And, cater to his preferences. Tailor your approach to the person."

"Here comes the most important part: if you want to capture a man's heart, first capture his stomach. Conquer his stomach with meals you cook yourself."

"Seduce him more often. Let him watch you bathe, or shed a few tears to make him pity you."

"This looks reliable. Come on, Brother He, I'll send it to you. Make sure to study it properly."

Yang Huaichuan said, "Didn't the Xu Household bully him? Deal with the Xu Household and vent his anger for him. For example, make their family go bankrupt. They're already at the end of their rope anyway."

Zhan Yushan clapped his hands in praise. "That's a good idea."

Ling Xu had also heard a little about the Xu Household's true and fake young master affair.

"Doesn't he care a lot about his adoptive mother? Then make a good impression in front of her and win your mother-in-law's approval."

Zhan Yushan did his job as the hype man and applauded. "This one's even better."

Zhou Jinsu looked over the information his agent had sent him, which listed the dramas Xu Yanche had filmed over the past year or so.

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. They were all bit parts—background extras and corpses.

He could practically compile them into a post titled, <I've Played More Bit Parts Than You've Eaten Grains of Salt>.

Zhou Jinsu said, "We can throw resources at him. I can mentor him too."

Zhan Yushan thought that was good as well.

He Qing took out his phone and wrote down everything his friends had just said.

He planned to try all of it when he got back and see whether any of it worked.

Yang Huaichuan took a sip of red wine, thought for a moment, then added, "I think what Ling Xu said makes sense. You haven't gotten your marriage certificate, and you haven't even held an engagement ceremony. So hurry up and buy him a ring. Don't keep acting so cold all the time. It might be fine for a short while, but if you want to live properly with him, you need to change."

Zhan Yushan applauded, thinking this suggestion was excellent too.

Ling Xu rubbed the little velvet box in his pocket.

He was a little nervous.

He wanted to give this gift away tonight, and give himself away while he was at it.

He had the day off tomorrow.

But he was afraid the other person would refuse.

The other person had already rejected him several times before. He was afraid it would be the same this time.

Midnight.

He Qing was a little drunk.

He took out his phone and called Xu Yanche.

Xu Yanche was passionately playing a four-player game with his mic on. When he saw the incoming call, he ignored it.

Only after the game screen displayed defeat did he react.

He irritably raked a hand through his hair and punched his pillow twice.

Only then did he remember that someone seemed to have called him just now.

He picked up his phone and glanced at it.

It was a call from He Qing.

He had not wanted to call back, but then he thought, what if the other man had something urgent?

Once the call connected, He Qing's drunken, slightly aggrieved voice came from the other end. "Yanyan, can you come pick me up and take me home? Everyone else has left. I'm the only one left."

Xu Yanche was so melted by that voice that half his body nearly went numb.

Why did He Qing sound so good when he acted cute?

No, this person definitely could not be He Qing.

He Qing would never talk like that.

"Who are you? Why are you using He Qing's phone to call me?"

Unexpectedly, the moment he said that, the person on the other end sounded even more aggrieved, his voice carrying a trace of loneliness. "I'm He Qing. Your darling Qingqing. Don't you want me anymore?"

Xu Yanche fell silent.

"Where are you now?"

He Qing obediently gave him the address. "Private Room 888, Imperial Capital Bar."

Xu Yanche grabbed his clothes and pulled them on, then dug out a jacket and put it on.

He took his phone and headed out. "Wait there."

He did not have any scenes tomorrow anyway, so he could spend the whole day having fun after taking He Qing home and getting a good night's sleep.

When he woke up in the morning, he would go spend some time with his mother.
