They don't actually think I like them, do they?

Lin Han breathed a long sigh of relief.

His journey in writing novels has now reached its first milestone!

Lin Han planned to lock himself away for a few days and focus his attention on the novel.

However, in the evening, a rapid knocking sounded at the door!

Lin Han opened the door, and there was Xu Hui.

The guy, with a long face, rushed into Lin Han's arms as soon as the door opened.

"Lin Han, please teach me how to confess my feelings!"

PS: I've been meeting up with a few struggling authors like Pineapple Bun these past few days, so I haven't been updating as much.

The gathering is over for today. I'll resume my regular double-update schedule starting tomorrow. Sorry for the long wait.

037. Date A Live

"???"

Lin Han was completely puzzled by Xu Hui's sudden visit.

What kind of confession?

How long have they been together? And they're already thinking about confessing their feelings?

"What's going on, Brother Hui? Tell me slowly."

Lin Han comforted Xu Hui and helped him to the sofa.

Then, Lin Han poured Xu Hui a glass of water and watched Xu Hui drink it all in one gulp.

Just as he put down his water glass, Xu Hui couldn't help but slap his thigh again.

"Waaaaah, she was born in 00, I can't beat her!"

Soon, Xu Hui began to recount his story.

Just as Lin Han had predicted, since their last date, when Lin Han gave Xu Hui a helping hand, their relationship had progressed by leaps and bounds.

Xu Hui and Xiao Ya started talking about more than just novels; their conversations also touched on other aspects of their lives.

For example, Xiaoya would curiously ask Xu Hui what songs he liked to listen to, where he liked to go, and what foods he liked to eat.

This is definitely a good thing!

Every couple must go through this stage before they can be together.

Only when both parties start chatting about daily life and begin to treat chatting with each other as a part of their lives can they gradually transform from "friends" into "romantic partners".

"Isn't this great?" Lin Han couldn't help but interrupt upon hearing this.

To Lin Han, it was just one step away from success, so he didn't understand why Xu Hui was in such a hurry.

“Yes, everything is fine,” Xu Hui said sadly, “but I can’t take the pressure anymore. My life has been completely changed because of her.”

"In the past, I played games and wrote my favorite novels without a care in the world. I never thought about anything else. My biggest worry was what to eat every day. Occasionally I would feel a little emo at night, but I would forget about it completely after I woke up."

"But now, ever since I met Xiaoya, I've been eagerly awaiting her reply every day. If she's even a few minutes late, I get anxious, wondering if I said something wrong. Every time she says something that makes me overthink, I wonder if she's hinting at something, and then I fall into self-deception and deep self-doubt..."

"You know what, Lin Han? Actually, on my way to your house, I prepared over twenty screenshots of our chat history. I wanted you to help me see if she really had feelings for me. But when I got to your house, I realized I've lost everything!"

Lin Han fell silent.

He didn't know how to comfort Xu Hui for a moment, but it wasn't really a matter of comforting him. Lin Han's task was to answer Xu Hui's questions and offer guidance.

However, Xu Hui was perfectly clear-headed! He even understood that he had lost because he was taking it too seriously!

Lin Han really didn't know what to say.

In fact, for most normal men, if they weren't seasoned social butterflies, all of Xu Hui's feelings—whether it was his fantasies about Xiaoya's every word, which caused him to struggle and suffer, or his constant feeling that he had said something wrong and his inability to stop apologizing—would be completely different.

All of this is the taste of love.

This thing is always a bittersweet experience!

"Lin Han, I can't accept this anymore. I'm going to confess to her right now and stop this overthinking! Even if she rejects me, I'll be free. We can just stop talking to each other, and I won't have to struggle with this anymore!"

Xu Hui shook Lin Han's shoulders and said loudly,

"Brother Lin, God Lin! Teach me how to confess my feelings!!"

Lin Han was shaken until he was dizzy, so he had no choice but to say, "Okay, okay, let go first!"

Looking into Xu Hui's clear and eager eyes, Lin Han understood perfectly.

After his confession was rejected, Xu Hui's pain will not disappear; on the contrary, it will only grow stronger and accompany him until the day he completely lets go.

But since Xu Hui had said so, he had no reason not to help.

However, Lin Han still had to sincerely ask a question.

Are you sure you want to ask me?

Lin Han was puzzled. He was clearly a virgin and had hardly ever held a girl's hand. Why did Xu Hui always treat him like a love expert?

Even if you include his past life, when Lin Han was dating, he was pushed into bed without really knowing anything about it.

Lin Han is at best theoretical, not practical. He can see through many tricks in relationships and answer Xu Hui's questions, but only when it comes to helping others. He gets brain overloaded when he tries to apply it to himself.

“Absolutely!” Xu Hui said firmly.

Lin Han was deeply moved to see his good brother trust him so much.

"it is good!"　

Just do it!

Lin Han immediately began to devise a detailed plan for Xu Hui to confess his feelings.

After all, Lin Han had never confessed his feelings before. How fun would it be if someone were willing to be his guinea pig?

As night deepened, only the floor where Lin Han lived was brightly lit in the vast apartment building.

Lin Han sat in front of the computer. When he got tired, Xu Hui would massage his shoulders, and when he was thirsty, he would drink a sip of the juice that Xu Hui had run errands to buy.

"All right!"

After three hours, Lin Han, hailed as the most affectionate man in China, finally completed his confession plan!

Xu Hui rushed over to check, and there were only three lines of text on the huge computer screen.

1. Abduct the person.

2. Look into her eyes.

3. Take out the flowers and confess.

"Are you writing about your mother?" Xu Hui grabbed Lin Han by the neck and shook him violently.

It took Lin Han three hours to write this stuff. That's enough time to cremate his mother thirty times and write thirty epitaphs for her!

"You...you listen to me."

Lin Han scratched his head awkwardly and said seriously,

"Don't underestimate this trilogy; every step is important!"

"This is the ultimate weapon I've condensed from all my experience in dealing with girls. It can be used on girls in any situation, and it's absolutely effective!"

Perhaps it was Lin Han's sincere gaze that moved Xu Hui, for Xu Hui reluctantly nodded.

"Okay, you talk, and I'll listen."

......

Beijing Jiaotong University.

Students carrying books came and went in front of a certain teaching building.

Beside the bushes, Lin Han raised his index finger and said to Xu Hui,

"Don't underestimate the value of this first step in getting someone to go out with you! Generally speaking, if you want a girl to go out with you alone, you need to build a strong level of liking for her!"

"So, why can't I just message her and ask her out?" Xu Hui asked nervously.

"This is the key point of the first step I've arranged for you. Remember, nothing works as well as talking face-to-face! Online, she can easily pull you in a difficult position, but once you meet in person, the initiative is in your hands!"

As Lin Han was speaking, Xu Hui suddenly shoved his shoulder.

"She's out of class!"

Lin Han looked over and saw Xiao Ya, wearing a light white dress, carrying books, walking down the stairs.

Xu Hui quickly stood up and went to Xiaoya.

"Xiaoya!"

"Hui...Hui Da?"

Xiaoya exclaimed in surprise, then a hint of panic flashed across her face as she glanced around.

"Can't you just text me? Why are you looking for me here?"

038. Lin's Love Method

Seeing Xiaoya's displeasure, Xu Hui was caught off guard by the sudden questioning.

"I...I just had a sudden idea..." Xu Hui said hastily. He didn't know why coming to see Xiaoya would upset her.

"Hui Da, I wasn't prepared at all for your sudden appearance. Luckily, I wore light makeup today. Otherwise, how would I face you if you saw me without makeup?"

Seeing Xu Hui's flustered appearance, Xiao Ya chuckled and teased him.

Xu Hui's face turned bright red as he stared blankly at Xiao Ya, lost in thought.

Actually, what he wanted to say was that you look beautiful even without makeup.

However, Xu Hui didn't say it aloud; he felt it was too cheesy.

Xu Hui only came to his senses when he saw Lin Han waving frantically at him from not far away.

"Xiaoya, want to go out for dinner together?" Xu Hui asked.

"sure."

As Xiaoya spoke, her eyes kept scanning behind Xu Hui.

"What are you looking at?" Xu Hui turned his head to look, but saw nothing.

"It's nothing, let's go, there are so many people here, it wouldn't be good if we were seen."

After Xiaoya finished speaking, she pushed Xu Hui away.

The two chose a Western restaurant in the city center for dinner.

The reason I went to the city center was to get as far away from the school as possible and avoid being seen by my classmates.

Xu Hui felt that since he was going to confess his feelings, the atmosphere beforehand had to be perfect.

Steak and red wine seem like a good choice.

Lin Han chose a spot where he could see the two of them, ordered a steak for himself, and kept an eye on their every move.

Lin Han is really going all out for his son Xu Hui's happiness.

What a wonderful afternoon without classes! Instead of lounging at home, Juju Jam is here acting as someone's love strategist!

If Xu Hui succeeds, it would be a disservice to Lin Han's efforts if he didn't let Lin Han touch Xiao Ya's leg!

Next comes the second step of the "Lin-style dating method"—looking into her eyes.

There's a lot to know about this place!

There are techniques involved in how to look at something, when to look at it, and where to look at it.

Before coming, Lin Han specifically explained it to Xu Hui.

Look at the pupils.

Try to see your own reflection in the other person's pupils.
