The Secret to Picking Up Girls

During their conversation, Zhang Yuze learned that Lu Yao seemed to be having some emotional problems. Of course, Zhang Yuze already knew this, as Lu Yao had confided in him on QQ without holding anything back. Who would come here in the middle of the night for no reason, unless they were kicked in the head by a donkey? However, this also gave Zhang Yuze a great opportunity. Anyway, the Treasure Mirror's requirement for him was only to gain her favor, and it didn't seem to be asking him to pursue her romantically. If it were about pursuing her, Zhang Yuze might find it a bit difficult, but if it was just about gaining some favor, Zhang Yuze was quite confident in himself. Having chatted with Lu Yao on QQ before, Zhang Yuze knew that she loved music, especially classical music. It was just a pity that Zhang Yuze, a person without any artistic talent, had no accomplishments in this area. Otherwise, Zhang Yuze could have made a big deal out of it. However, Zhang Yuze wasn't without gains. At least Zhang Yuze had now successfully approached Lu Yao with his current identity, and he was no longer just a faceless online friend on QQ. Although many people online could call their online friends "wife" and "husband" with great enthusiasm, developing that virtual relationship into reality required long-term effort, and there were many examples of relationships dying after meeting in person. So, although Zhang Yuze's step was small, it was a big step forward.

"What, you once took my grandma to my dorm?" When Zhang Yuze inadvertently revealed to Lu Yao that he had once taken her grandma to her dorm, Lu Yao looked at Zhang Yuze with great surprise and delight.

"Ah! Could that grandma really be your family member? I was just asking casually because the name that grandma mentioned at the time was very similar to yours! I was wondering if it was just a coincidence, but I didn't expect it to be true!" Zhang Yuze deliberately scratched his head, looking at her with embarrassment. He put on an expression that said, "I'm also very surprised."

"Yes! My grandma brought living expenses for me and took a bus to the school by herself. If I hadn't met you, I really don't know how long my grandma would have been looking for me. Really… really thank you." Lu Yao's beautiful, clear eyes stared straight at Zhang Yuze, filled with gratitude.

Zhang Yuze's old face flushed red under Lu Yao's gaze. He originally didn't plan to reveal this matter, but considering that it could be the fastest way to gain her favor, Zhang Yuze tried to say it. He didn't expect that Lu Yao still remembered it after so long, which made Zhang Yuze feel a little surprised.

Time passed quickly, and it was almost dawn.

Lu Yao looked at Zhang Yuze with some reluctance and said, "It's almost dawn, I should go back."

Zhang Yuze also felt that time had indeed passed too quickly. He looked at Lu Yao and sighed, "I'll take you back!"

"Mm!" Lu Yao responded softly, which could be considered tacit consent. This made Zhang Yuze's heart rejoice, as the progress was too fast.

Of course, Zhang Yuze wouldn't naively think that he had successfully won Lu Yao's heart, but she definitely had some goodwill towards him. After Zhang Yuze's performance tonight, he felt that he should have left a somewhat deep impression in Lu Yao's heart. Although it was far from being called love, it was at least a big step forward.
