Li Haoyu regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth.

His words sound like those of a complete novice who has never been in a relationship, yet he dares to call himself a dating guru.

How embarrassing!

Like the line from the movie "Let the Bullets Fly": Eat your food one bite at a time, walk your path one step at a time, and pursue your girl slowly. Taking too big a step can easily lead to trouble. In short, two steps make you effeminate, one step leads to trouble.

The way of love is indeed profound and complex.

Love is an art of tug-of-war, but fortunately there's still a chance to salvage it.

Li Haoyu pretended to suddenly realize something, "You mean the Jiang Nansun that Grandpa Li mentioned?" He deliberately didn't continue the conversation, waiting for Jiang Nansun to ask a question.

As expected, Jiang Nansun said with a puzzled look on his face.

"Is something the matter? What did Grandpa Li say?"

"He said you've been looking for a tutoring job recently, and he asked me to help him find one. We happen to have a suitable one and are planning to contact you."

Jiang Nansun tilted his head, looking puzzled.

"Really? Grandpa Li didn't mention this to me!"

Li Haoyu analyzed it for her in a serious manner.

"Perhaps it's because he's been busy with his trip abroad lately and hasn't had time to explain it to you in detail."

Jiang Nansun couldn't help but doubt herself. Could it really be that she had inadvertently mentioned it during a casual chat with Grandpa Li, and Grandpa Li had secretly inquired about it for her? Because she did indeed want to take advantage of the holidays to tutor her child and earn some extra money.

This is something no outsider could possibly know. ¤ (¯´☆✭.¸_)¤ ❻❾𝕤Ħᵘא.ⒸⓄ𝐦 ¤(_¸.✭☆´¯) ¤

She sounded reasonable, as if that were really the case.

Li Haoyu checked the time; it was already noon, time for lunch.

Li Haoyu said with a smile, "Let's go, Jiang Nansun will treat you to some of the delicious food at our Shanghai University. I heard you also want to get into Shanghai University, so I'll show you around and we can chat about your tutoring needs."

Jiang Nansun thought about it and realized that what he said made sense.

"Okay, thank you for your help. But I don't have much time left, so let's just have a quick talk." Li Haoyu pretended not to understand Jiang Nansun's implication that he wanted to leave alone.

He took Jiang Nansun to the cafeteria of Shanghai University.

As for why Li Haoyu didn't go to a roadside restaurant but insisted on going all the way to the cafeteria at Shanghai University, it's because the slightly longer distance makes it easier for the girl to develop a sense of dependence and trust because she's not familiar with the environment.

At the dinner table, Li Haoyu tried to gain Jiang Nansun's trust.

He began by giving a serious introduction to the summer training program for children.

He's a mischievous and somewhat careless ninth-grade boy, especially bad at English. His parents have already hired several tutors for him, but they're still not quite satisfied.

He even reminded Jiang Nansun that the boy was more responsive to gentle persuasion than force, and that praising him might have a surprising effect. Li Haoyu spoke with increasing conviction, vividly portraying a rebellious boy.

Jiang Nansun nodded repeatedly as she listened, seemingly convinced of the truth.

Afterwards, Li Haoyu deliberately changed the subject from tutoring to casual conversation.

The two began to talk about university.

Jiang Nansun then asked some questions that she was concerned about.

"What was his university life like?"

Li Haoyu then talked about his interactions with the production team of the show "All-Round Home Makeover King," specifically highlighting some interesting points. He became much more relaxed and casual when discussing these topics.

Jiang Nansun also became clearly interested, and she listened with great interest.

During this period, Li Haoyu felt that he had greatly improved in his interactions with women, and could always quickly and enthusiastically chat with them. This was something he could hardly have imagined before.

From Yuan Yuan and Lin Ya Hui to Jiang Nan Sun, even though these girls had different styles, he could chat with them enthusiastically. The key is to be open and uninhibited when chatting with girls, and not be timid or hesitant.

The principle is very simple:

Which girl would want to sit and chat with a sage who sits upright and spouts righteousness and morality?

Of course you can showcase your strengths, but please don't be pretentious.

Jiang Nansun suddenly realized that there was something about the man in front of her that she couldn't understand.

The boy was polite and had a smile on his face, but he was also very humorous when he spoke.

The boy appeared exceptionally confident and composed in his presence, often uttering statements that were outside his comprehension. Yet, he maintained a calm and collected demeanor, as if everything was under his control.

I wonder if it's the aura that comes from his extensive knowledge and experience.

Jiang Nansun even found him much more attractive.

Details determine success or failure, and relationships often fall apart because of details.

Choosing the fine dining hall at Shanghai University was a result of his careful consideration.

It's important to understand that having dinner with a girl isn't the primary goal; effective communication is. The location for your first dinner with a girl doesn't need to be too upscale, but it also shouldn't be too shabby. Just a quiet, comfortable place where you can have a smooth conversation is fine.

Unless you're dealing with a girl who's only interested in hooking up with rich men, being placed in a luxurious private room right away can easily make her feel nervous or uncomfortable due to the overly private space, often resulting in less than the best outcome.

Li Haoyu calmed down as he ate and chatted, and he did not rush to attack.

The two sat down, and Li Haoyu took the initiative to ask questions.

Do you have any dietary restrictions? Can you eat spicy food?

"It's nothing, I can do anything." Jiang Nansun shook his head.

"Then I won't be modest. You have to try the signature dishes here, they're really good!" Li Haoyu ordered quickly and boldly, then handed the menu to Jiang Nansun.

Jiang Nansun said with a strange expression, "I didn't expect you to be so unyielding?"

"I've been singing all day and I'm starving, so I won't stand on ceremony with you. I'm sure you won't mind if I'm being abrupt. You know, singing well takes a toll on your voice, but for me, it takes a toll on my stomach. Even though I sang terribly, I did my best."

Jiang Nansun was amused by his nonsensical self-deprecation.

"Are you... always this humorous?"

Jiang Nansun's beaming smile left Li Haoyu speechless.

"I'm coming to my senses," Li Haoyu said.

"I like you just the way you are, speaking the truth with such seriousness."

Seeing that he accepted it calmly, Jiang Nansun could only wave his hand helplessly.

It was just past lunchtime and the cafeteria wasn't crowded, so the dishes were served quickly. The food wasn't extravagant, but it was plentiful: stir-fried pork slices with lettuce, deep-fried prawns, winter bamboo shoots with cilantro, mushrooms and tofu, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, plus an egg drop soup.

It's by no means extravagant or wasteful, but it's not impolite either.

Li Haoyu's cleverness lies in doing things openly, making it impossible for Jiang Nansun to refuse.

He believed that if he went all out, Jiang Nansun, though she wouldn't say it, would definitely look down on his wasteful behavior. Once an initial impression between a man and a woman is formed, it's hard to erase. He was right; Jiang Nansun did think so.

For Jiang Nansun, the dishes on the table were a bit too much for the two of them to eat, but not to the point of waste. There weren't any particularly outrageous dishes, so they didn't feel burdened by the meal.

Although they had only known each other for a short time, Jiang Ansun felt very relaxed in their interactions. She felt she could speak her mind freely with Li Haoyu without worrying about going too far with her jokes, and she found it very comfortable to be with him.

This was precisely the state Li Haoyu wanted to create: a gradual, natural progression without rushing for results. He wanted to subtly influence Jiang Nansun, allowing her to slowly become accustomed to his presence before launching a swift and decisive attack.

After dinner, Li Haoyu used the pretext of contacting his tutor to easily exchange contact information with Jiang Nansun.

Jiang Nansun said softly, "I have a very happy day. It's nice to meet you."

Li Haoyu's cleverness succeeded once again.
