Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 391 of the Lüshi Chunqiu states...

"very good."

Ziqiao nodded and said, "Since you've already learned the first thing, I'll teach you something else."

"Wait a minute!" Guan Gu quickly interrupted Zi Qiao.

Seeing Ziqiao's confident demeanor, Guangu even began to wonder if he had lost a piece of his memory. He asked疑惑地问道, "What have we learned?"

"No way, man!"

Ziqiao was taken aback: "The four of you either have bachelor's or master's degrees, and your academic backgrounds and schools are all top-notch, yet you can't even learn such a simple operation?"

"Is this a question of whether we can learn it?"

Guan Gu was speechless: "You just demonstrated it to us once, and then gave us the answer without even looking up. You didn't explain the process and principles in between."

He scratched his head in confusion and said, "I still don't know how you figured out that the beautiful woman in the red dress was an elementary school Chinese teacher who lives in our apartment building."

"Yeah, right," Xiaoxian chimed in. "Besides, it doesn't show on her face whether she's in a relationship or not. How did you know she was waiting for her boyfriend?"

In fact, none of the people present were stupid, especially after Zi Qiao personally demonstrated it once, everyone could understand.

This so-called fleeting glimpse is nothing more than Zi Qiao's exceptional eye for women, honed over many years of dating.

But understanding something is one thing, being able to do it is another.

Just like how Nanfeng can judge a girl's true worth by listening to her heartbeat, they all understand the principle, but apart from Nanfeng, very few people can do it.

Moreover, Ziqiao hadn't even done the most basic analysis and explanation, so how could they possibly learn it?

"Shh!"

Ziqiao gently extended a finger and placed it on Xiaoxian's lips: "Auditors are not allowed to ask questions unless... you have to pay more first."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxian kicked Ziqiao, yelling, "Get lost!"

Ziqiao lay down on the sofa to dodge Xiaoxian's flying kick.

"Alright, alright, I'll answer your question for free this time, okay?"

He sat up straight again and explained, "Actually, the principle behind a fleeting glimpse is very simple, it can be summed up in eight words: observe, remember, analyze, and think."

"Like the most basic height, measurements, weight, and whether the beautiful woman in front of you is naturally beautiful, a makeup expert, or simply someone whose beauty is created by technology."

"Is her figure truly curvy and fleshy, or is it just a result of excessive padding that causes it to collapse at the slightest touch, or is it simply silicone implants protruding from the ground...?"

"These judgments about appearance are simply a matter of eye and experience. Even the most talented person would need a lot of practical experience to reach my level."

Guan Gu raised an eyebrow, and asked in shock, "Practical application?!"

"Hands-on practice~"

Facing the formal trainees, Ziqiao appeared very patient. He tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, "Practice, 'cao' is pronounced with the second tone, it's the 'cao' in 'operation,' not the fourth tone you're using!"

Guan Gu nodded shyly and then explained why accumulating eyesight and experience still requires a lot of hands-on practice.

If problems arise during practical operation when one lacks both insight and experience from the beginning, then a major disaster could occur.

For example, it's like only realizing the other person is a little cunning when you get to the very last step in the practical exercise...

Guan Gu, who had almost been ruined for life by a man with a female chastity, shuddered in fear.

Ziqiao, who had been interrupted by Guangu, sighed and continued, "What I just said only covers the part of observation and memory. If we want to dig out more information, we must analyze and think."

"For example, that girl in the red dress just now, did you notice what she was doing?"

The four shook their heads. Why would they bother paying attention to a strange, beautiful woman when they had nothing better to do?

Not everyone is like Ziqiao, who habitually treats every beautiful woman he just met as a potential hunting target.

No, it's not just beautiful women.

This ruthless guy doesn't even seem to be willing to let the overweight girls in the gym go; he reportedly even created a so-called angel investor program specifically for them.

I don't know if this is true or false.

Ziqiao sighed repeatedly: "This is why all four of you are single dogs. You all lack initiative."

"When it comes to picking up girls, you have to actively seek them out and pursue them."

"If you guys don't chase girls, do you expect girls to chase you?"

Nanfeng opened her eyes wide: "Isn't that how you are?"

Ziqiao: (⊙﹏⊙).

"...Never mind what I said."

Xiao Xian tugged at Zi Qiao's arm: "Zi Qiao, don't worry about that Versailles alien, just keep talking."

"What was that beautiful woman in red doing?"

"Didn't you all see it? She's looking down at her phone."

"That beautiful woman was browsing the Love Apartment website. The webpage even has a verified tenant account with a gold badge. If she doesn't live in Love Apartment, could she be living in the Aisen Apartment across the street?"

Ziqiao explained slowly, "A few minutes ago, the bartender asked her if she wanted to order drinks, but she refused."

"The tone of his voice and the smile on his face clearly indicate that he has become accustomed to coaxing children, and he definitely does it not just for a long time with one child, but for a long time with a group of children."

"So she's either a kindergarten teacher or an elementary school teacher."

"By the way, she also corrected the bartender's Chinese pronunciation. I think there's a very high chance she's an elementary school Chinese teacher."

"She didn't drink any alcohol and kept her head down playing on her phone the whole time, but she would occasionally look up at the bar entrance, clearly waiting for someone."

"If she were waiting for her best friend, she wouldn't be pursing her lips with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness when she looks towards the bar entrance, not to mention the little hand gestures. It's obvious she's waiting for her boyfriend."

"As for why it's called being in love..."

Ziqiao chuckled lightly: "Once the honeymoon phase is over, what guy would dare keep his girlfriend waiting?"

The way everyone looked at Ziqiao became strange.

"What you just described...was really something you glimpsed in a fleeting moment?"

Nanfeng retorted, "You've clearly been paying attention to those pretty girls ever since we arrived at the bar."

"That's right."

Ziqiao just openly admitted it like that.

Not only did he openly admit it, but he also said with righteous indignation, "I never said that a fleeting glance is an active skill. It should be a passive skill. Only in this way can you ensure that you don't miss any details when you're picking up girls."

"hiss……"

Zeng Xiaoxian gasped, then chuckled and said, "Now I understand what it means to be in a completely different industry. Your line of work must be tough."

"If you were to spend all your time, except when you're sleeping, observing, analyzing, and thinking about these things, your CPU would be smoking."

"It's not as exaggerated as you say."

Ziqiao shrugged: "This thing is like doing practice problems. As long as you get enough experience, it will become a habit, and you'll be able to see the answer to many things at a glance."

He smiled smugly: "You guys always ask me why I can always find so many big-breasted, brainless beauties in the vast sea of ​​people. Now I'll tell you the answer."

The senior apprentice then asked, "What's the job situation like for that pretty girl in the floral dress...?"

"..."

"...How did you figure that out?"

Ziqiao said "Oh": "That beautiful lady was simpler. Her dark circles were almost impossible to cover with makeup, and she had to touch up her makeup several times in just a few minutes."

He secretly pointed to the beautiful woman's phone case and the doll charm on her bag: "These phone cases and dolls are souvenirs redeemed with airline miles. If you're interested, you can try taking pictures and scanning them to see how many miles you need to redeem them."

"When she was touching up her makeup just now, I noticed that she had a disposable compressed towel, a folded water bottle, and a blackout eye mask in her bag."

"So you understand now, right?"

"Understood."

The four nodded thoughtfully.

Nanfeng looked at Ziqiao hesitantly: "I feel that your deduction is a bit too arbitrary and presumptuous. Ziqiao, can you really guarantee that your deduction is correct?"

Why should I make these guarantees?

Ziqiao found Nanfeng's behavior somewhat baffling: "Aren't you missing the point? My purpose in making all these deductions is simply to pick up girls, not to become a detective."

He shrugged and said, "So what if I made a mistake? A small misjudgment won't affect my ability to pick up girls. Even if I made a big mistake... there's more than one girl in the world."

Ziqiao looked at everyone seriously, and then he suddenly asked a question.

"What do you think is the most crucial aspect of this fleeting, stunning move?"

The eldest brother thought for a moment and replied, "A sharp... eye?"

Guan Gu analyzed, "Is it the accumulation of experience and a lot of hands-on practice?"

Zeng Xiaoxian said confidently, "It must be a smart brain, otherwise how could it remember so many fragmented details and analyze so many things?"

Nanfeng remained silent, simply watching Ziqiao perform.

Zhang Wei's voice seemed to echo in his mind.

[Watch closely, Ziqiao is about to start showing off.]

"Wrong, completely wrong."

Ziqiao looked at his senior brother, Guangu, and Xiaoxian: "A keen eye, accumulated experience and a lot of practical skills, or perhaps a brilliant mind—can you achieve these things in seven days?"

The three shook their heads.

"Since you can't do it, why should I teach you this 'fleeting glimpse' technique?"

Ziqiao's lips curled up slightly as he casually recited his unorthodox yet highly persuasive motivational platitudes.

The reason why "a fleeting glimpse" can become the most core and important chapter of Lüshi Chunqiu is because its core is just two words.

"think.

"I've said it before, picking up girls is a war."

"It doesn't matter how much you can see in a fleeting glance, how much you can remember, or what conclusions you can draw after analysis and reflection."

"Maintaining the ability to think independently is the most important thing in this battlefield of love."

Ziqiao smiled faintly.

The Lüshi Chunqiu states: "I think, therefore I am."

Here it comes!

With the basic theoretical groundwork laid, it's time to let them unleash their creativity.
