The Secret to Picking Up Girls

To avoid standing out too much in the banquet hall with his rather unconventional attire, Zhang Yuze eventually retreated to a corner. From there, he watched the people coming and going with great interest. Suddenly, the crowd quieted down. This sudden silence startled Zhang Yuze, and he followed their gaze upwards, only to be stunned himself. Now he understood why everyone was so amazed. Gu Yufei's appearance today was truly breathtaking. The snow-white纱裙(sha qun - gauze dress), adorned with delicate decorations, combined with her figure and face, made her look like Snow White. Not only the boys, but even the girls were involuntarily drawn to her. Even Zhang Yuze, who had seen his fair share of beauties, was momentarily stunned. "Tsk, tsk!" he thought. "This little girl is really something. I knew she was pretty before, but I didn't pay much attention. Now I finally appreciate her charm." For a moment, Zhang Yuze's mind was filled with the desire to conquer her, again and again. Suddenly, Zhang Yuze's gaze sharpened as his attention fell on the middle-aged man beside Gu Yufei. It wasn't because the man looked particularly strange, but because Zhang Yuze could sense energy emanating from him. "Could he also be a martial artist?" Zhang Yuze murmured, his eyes filled with surprise. Although martial artists had emerged into the world, not many of them were actually active in society. And the middle-aged man beside Gu Yufei was actually an inner strength martial artist, which made Gu Yufei's identity all the more intriguing to Zhang Yuze. Watching the middle-aged man giving a speech on the stage, Zhang Yuze's eyes were fixed on him, as if trying to find something. As if sensing Zhang Yuze's gaze, the middle-aged man glanced in his direction, startling Zhang Yuze, who quickly looked away. Zhang Yuze narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment before walking towards the stage, blending into the crowd. After the middle-aged man finished his speech, Gu Yufei and him came down to toast all the guests. Zhang Yuze found it amusing that a young man with a slicked-back hairstyle was constantly appearing beside Gu Yufei, diligently attending to her needs. It was obvious that this young man was pursuing Gu Yufei, but she seemed uninterested in him. Finally, Gu Yufei and the middle-aged man reached Zhang Yuze's table. When Gu Yufei saw Zhang Yuze, a hint of surprise appeared on her face. "Zhang Yuze, is that you?" Zhang Yuze stood up, raised his glass to Gu Yufei, and said with a smile, "The birthday star invited me, how could I not come! Today is your birthday, I wish you happiness and joy." "I'm really happy that you could come. Why didn't you let me know? I could have sent someone to pick you up," Gu Yufei said, looking at Zhang Yuze with a hint of reproach. "Haha, I can come by myself, it's not hard to find here," Zhang Yuze shook his head and smiled at Gu Yufei. Their conversation drew two slightly surprised glances towards Zhang Yuze. Needless to say, these two were the middle-aged man beside Gu Yufei and the young man who had been busy attending to her. Seeing Gu Yufei being so affectionate with Zhang Yuze, the young man's eyes flashed with a hint of extreme jealousy. (End of Chapter)
