Love? I'm reborn and I just want to get rewards

Chapter 242 Xiao Gu's Diary

While playing the piano, Su Huai discovered that Xiao Gu must have practiced a lot in the past few days. His beats became more accurate, his fingerings were more consistent, and the emotions he expressed were more contagious.

After playing it twice, she turned her head and looked at Su Huai expectantly.

Understand, waiting for praise.

Su Huai certainly wouldn't spoil her fun, and he praised her directly: "Great! Your emotional space has been completely opened up, and your keyboard skills have improved so fast."

The smile instantly brightened.

Xiao Gu's eyes are relatively large, and it is not easy for them to be narrowed into crescents, but when she smiles sincerely, the curves of her eyes are particularly soft, and her eyebrows and the shallow dimples at the corners of her mouth are perfectly integrated, which makes her look beautiful.

"Susu, you are really good at praising people. I love to hear it!"

Su Huai smiled and shook his head: "I'm not praising you randomly, you practiced hard and you deserve encouragement."

"Whee!"

Xiao Gu felt very happy and casually played a string of notes - it was a very niche piano piece called "Poem of the Little Cutie".

The sad book who was sighing on the sofa suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of tension and vigilance, and his ears moving like radars.

He doesn't understand piano music, but as a former lead singer of a band, he knows a little about chords.

That kind of joyful emotional expression is not normal!
Old Gu was panicking and roaring in his heart: That bastard is flirting with my daughter right under my nose!

Although he guessed it, he didn't dare to stop it.

My butt kept twisting and turning as if there were nails growing underneath me. I couldn't sit still. I couldn't sit still at all!

After twisting for 5 seconds, he finally couldn't help it, so he stood up and walked to the bar, pretending to be reserved and poured himself a glass of wine, but in fact, his eyes never left the piano after he found the observation angle.

He didn't notice any physical contact, but the smile on his precious daughter's face made him feel both relieved and sad.

Are you angry with Su Huai?
No reason.

He was just confused: Yueyue is so easy to coax? Why can't I coax her?

Of course Gu Jiuyue is not easy to coax, but Gou Huai is too good at it.

When you compliment a girl, make sure you compliment her on her greatest strengths.

Core purpose 1: Wherever she has worked hard, praise her regardless of whether there is any actual effect.

Core principle 2: If you don’t know what she’s been working on recently, then praise her for the areas that she cares about most.

Core Principle 3: If you don’t even know what she cares about, then do the opposite based on her complaints.

Okay, now let me ask you a question: You meet a beautiful woman at a party. She is wearing a beautiful dress and has nice manicure. She has a silver chain around her waist, a bulging necklace hanging down to the middle of her full curves, and her lips are painted with pink lip balm that 100 out of 99 men will feel looks good on her. What should you compliment her on?
Dog: You are so beautiful today, so beautiful that it makes me panic!
Warm-hearted man: It’s a bit cold today, why don’t you bring a shawl?
Straight man: The lipstick is really beautiful and very tempting.

Diaosi: The necklace is really expensive, right? It has such a big diamond, you must be rich!

Sex critic: Damn, this groove!

Scumbag: Your fashion sense is absolutely amazing. Those internet celebrities should really learn from you.

Aquaman: You've spent a lot of time working out recently, right? This waist-to-hip ratio is incredible. You're beautiful and determined. You deserve to be envied by all the girls in the audience~~~
Students whose answers are one, two, three, four, and five, pick up your things and stand against the wall!
Complimenting a beautiful woman’s fashion sense is a safe bet, and it basically won’t go wrong, but it won’t go over well either.

You have to praise her for her hard work and how great the results are, and then get some external evidence to support your answer, so that you can come up with a high-scoring answer.

What if she didn't exercise?
Don't worry, even if she ate one less bowl of rice yesterday because she was watching TV series, in her mind this is also evidence of her efforts to diet.

If she then said, "I didn't exercise. I'm too lazy."

Classmates, don't be embarrassed, this is a friendly conversation, she is waiting for you to continue praising her talent - sisters are naturally beautiful, they don't need to work as hard as others.

After finishing the exercises, return to Xiao Gu.

She really practiced hard, and the focus of her practice happened to be the key touch technique. Su Huai could see it at a glance. This was a soulmate of the highest level, and one word from her was worth a hundred sweet words.

That’s right, the level above Aquaman is the confidant.

Unlike a sweet man, this role is a kind of soul mate, not just being nice to her.

It requires a fairly high level of empathy, a comprehensive knowledge base of the other party, keen perception, and the ability to quickly respond to all of the other party's emotions.

My advice is: if you don’t plan on living off others, then don’t learn it and just focus on making money.

Practicing this is more tiring than studying for a bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree.

But if you have two of these talents, you might as well give it a try. If you can flirt with two or three rich ladies, you can become financially free and self-reliant.

There are so many courses on how to pick up girls on the market now, and we boys have to stand up and learn how to protect ourselves without having to, right?

Gou Huai didn't deliberately praise her anymore and just communicated normally.

Emotional value is something that should be given naturally when it is time to give it, instead of creating opportunities to force it in even when there is no opportunity - that's called forced X.

When I got tired of playing the piano, I would sit by the small swing opposite the greenhouse to drink tea and chat.

Xiao Gu did not mention the car again, but was very interested in the changes in Su Huai's treatment in school.

"Susu, do many girls pursue you?"

"Yes, I have!"

Su Huai replied calmly: "A few days ago, I passed by the girls' dormitory and was almost surrounded by them. The local sisters in our school are too fierce. I felt that some of them really wanted to drag me into the girls' dormitory..."

"Kekekekeke~~~"

Gu Jiuyue laughed so hard that she fell backwards, and no one knew what scene she was imagining.

"Then why don't you go with them and take a look! Are there six or eight people in one dormitory over there? Haha! Hahahaha..."

This girl is actually very interesting beneath her cold appearance. How could a normal person think like that?

Su Huai rolled his eyes and complained: "The next day he came out as if he had just returned from northern Myanmar, with his left hand on his waist and his right hand on the wall..."

It’s quite vivid, but Xiao Gu blinked his eyes and asked, “What’s the meaning of Northern Myanmar?”

Well, it’s normal that she doesn’t understand.

Su Huai raised his palm and cut his waist: "They tricked people into working for them. If they obeyed, they would be allowed to live. If they disobeyed, they would cut off their kidneys and sell them for money. It's a very chaotic place."

"Oh!"

Xiao Gu nodded and miraculously changed the topic.

"It's not as chaotic as South America. I went to Mexico once with Lao Gu, and we happened to see them biubiubiubi in the street. The stray bullets scratched the paint on our car."

Su Huai was so amused and annoyed by what he heard that he didn't know where to vent his anger.

But chatting like this is also quite interesting, relaxed, comfortable, and imaginative, without the need to be cautious.

"Are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid. There are only a few dozen broken rifles. Even if they chase us and shoot, they can't penetrate the car door."

"Oh my god~~ What if I accidentally see someone being shot?"

"Hehe, I really saw it. Sister Wu even covered my eyes to prevent me from seeing it. But it's actually nothing. Whether it's time, disease, or bullets that bring death, what difference does it make?"

Su Huai thought about it carefully and retorted: "I think there is still a difference. If you are shot in the face, you will be an ugly ghost even if you die."

"puff!"

Gu Jiuyue was amused and patted him softly.

"Don't tease me all the time. I'm actually quite sad..." Su Huai chuckled and said in a boastful tone, "If you want to be sad in front of me, you have to apply first!"

"Great!" Gu Jiuyue gave a thumbs up, "Brother Huai is so great! Brother Huai is the best!"

They chatted and chatted like this, and Lao Gu became so restless that he walked back and forth outside several times.

Gu Jiuyue saw it, but pretended not to see it.

Su Huai naturally saw it as well, and nodded politely to him every time.

Gu Tongshu: You might as well pretend you didn’t see it!
Gu Jiuyue exposed him with a smile: "You are deliberately irritating him again."

"We are in conflict." Su Huai curled his lips and took the opportunity to defend himself, "He always sends people to watch me whenever I hang out with a girl at school. It's inexplicable."

Speaking of this, Gu Jiuyue's mood finally became less bright.

She bit her lip and said frankly and pitifully, "I don't like you playing with them."

Su Huai's voice softened involuntarily: "But my personality determines that I will definitely have a lot of friends..."

"Yeah, you can't just belong to me..."

Gu Jiuyue was really a little sad—she thought she was just a little sad, but in fact her whole eyes dimmed.

The dog didn't dare to really make her cry, and hurriedly assured her: "No matter how many friends I have, you will always be the first, my dad, my mom, my grandpa, my grandma, my grandma, my great-grandma... my dog, and then you!"

When Xiao Gu first heard him counting on his fingers, he was a little confused, with a puzzled and bewildered expression.

After counting the dogs, they counted her again. This silly girl was amused again.

"Pfft! You are so good! I put you so far in front, but you put me behind the dog? No, I won't do it!"

Su Huai was a little embarrassed: "Then I put you before the dog?"

"That's still missing... huh?"

The clever boy was about to give in when he suddenly realized what was happening and got furious.

"Why do I have to compete with the dog for favor?"

"Yeah! I'm confused too!"

Su Huai spread his hands and looked at her mischievously: "What on earth are you thinking?"

"Wow! I'm really convinced..." Xiao Gu sighed and gave a thumbs up, "No wonder those boys called you a dog. If they scold you again in the future, I will definitely not blame them..."

Su Huai suddenly stopped smiling and his expression became deep and distant.

"This is also part of understanding each other. What kind of friends can be sweet forever? Good or bad, like or dislike, will eventually be exposed slowly over time.

Or maybe something you like now may not be your favorite after a while.

Things that never change cannot stand the test.

Or maybe we are both changing, and after a long time we suddenly realize: Huh? How come you have become so strange?
What we always think in our hearts is 'I hope that from now on, each year will be better than the previous one', but the result is always 'human wishes are as thin as clouds and water, and good opportunities are even harder to repeat'.

So sometimes I think, if people want to be happy, the best way is to never think about what will happen three days later.

Let's just live well today, make simple plans for tomorrow, and look forward to the day after tomorrow...

That’s it.”

Gu Jiuyue listened very carefully, and was then stunned by the last sentence.

Su Huai's previous discussion is completely correct. Things that remain unchanged cannot stand the test, but too many changes make people feel at a loss. Human beings are such difficult creatures to serve.

The following two quotations are equally brilliant; neither of them comes from a particularly famous source, but the meaning they convey together is just right.

However, none of them are as eye-opening as the last sentence.

Because it was so accurate, it directly hit her psychological illness.

She thought too much and too far into the future since she was a child, so not only did she not have a childhood, she didn't even have a particularly happy time.

So what if we could think about less and just focus on living today?
It will probably be much better...

Later, Xiao Gu was amused by Su Huai twice more, but she was always thinking about this sentence and couldn't devote herself to it fully.

Until Su Huai said goodbye, she returned to her bedroom, rolled around on the bed for a while, suddenly got up, and took out the diary that she hadn't used for a long time.

She rested her chin on her hand and was in a daze for a while. Then she wrote the first entry of this year in her diary:

On November 2016, 11, it was cloudy, rainy and very cold.

Su Xiaohuai came to visit my home today. We played the piano and had a great chat. Then we made Lao Gu angry together several times, which made us even happier.

Later he told me that people should focus on living well today, make simple plans for tomorrow, look forward to the day after tomorrow, and not think about what will happen three days later.

I couldn't calm down for a long time after hearing this.

In fact, my elders often advised me not to think too much, but no one explicitly said it. Just three days, that’s it.

General comfort can only make people irritated, and specific behavioral analysis can serve as a guide.

If happiness also has a methodology, then this may be a special solution that only works for certain people.

like me.

Actually, I had a good day today. It was just a little hard when I was waiting for his arrival, but after he came, I was full of joy.

So according to his method, should I start planning for tomorrow?

If it doesn't rain or snow tomorrow, I want to go back to school.

If I continue to play, I will practice piano at home (by the way, Susu praised my great improvement in key touch skills, I am happy^^)

He didn't take the two cars when he left because there was no place to park them, so tomorrow I will quietly help him solve problems with passes, parking spaces, license plates, etc. and give him a surprise!
Can a license plate be temporary?

I don’t know, but Sister Wu will definitely be happy to help…

Simple planning, these two things are enough, right?

Forget it, let me add one more thing: secretly ask Tingting about who Susu often plays with recently. I'm not angry, but he promised that I am his best friend, and I want to make sure he keeps his promise!

(The entire paragraph above is crossed out)
Forget it, forget it, there is no need. He should have other friends and even a serious girlfriend. Gu Jiuyue, you have to have a sense of boundaries.

The planning ends here.

Conclusion: It is not easy to use at all and I am just average about it.

……

……

……

This seems like a diary of failure. I have clearly recorded the childish side of a selfish little girl who has already gotten a lot but is still greedy. How stupid!

Gu Jiuyue, this is not the state you should be in.

If you need time to adjust, that's OK, but please remember that time is your most precious thing and should not be wasted.

Okay, now let’s look forward to what will happen the day after tomorrow – everything will go well for all my relatives and friends, and Su Huai will be especially successful.

Finish.
