The Secret to Picking Up Girls

Mengting's tone was obviously laced with jealousy, leaving Zhang Yuzhe feeling a little dumbfounded. She didn't get jealous of Wu Xinyu and Gu Yufei's obvious affections, but she was jealous of someone he barely knew. The difference was truly significant. "She's also from our school! You should have seen her before! Why are you jealous about this?" Zhang Yuzhe chuckled, pinching Mengting's delicate nose as she ate her ice cream.

"I'm afraid you'll become fickle when you see pretty girls. Boys nowadays are all like that, loving one after another!" Mengting said, gazing at Zhang Yuzhe with a hint of sadness in her large eyes.

Seeing Mengting like this, Zhang Yuzhe felt a pang in his heart. He sighed and asked Mengting, "Would you be unhappy if I were with your Sister Xiaolu?"

Mengting looked up at Zhang Yuzhe with a confused expression, then shook her head and said, "I don't know, but I know that even though I tacitly approve of you two being together, I still feel a little sad inside, but I know I can't stop it!"

Hearing Mengting's words made Zhang Yuzhe feel a sense of guilt towards her. After silently finishing their food, they both went back. As evening approached, after sending Mengting back to the girls' dormitory, Zhang Yuzhe felt inexplicably conflicted as he was about to return to his dormitory.

Just as he reached the outside of the boys' dormitory, two figures on roller skates glided down the slope. It seemed their skills weren't very good. Suddenly, one of the girls stumbled on a stone, letting out a cry of surprise. Her body leaned back and then pitched forward.

Amidst the other girl's scream, she was about to fall when Zhang Yuzhe, with his quick eyes and hands, caught her. After a rush of fragrance, Zhang Yuzhe found himself embracing her fully. The sensation of soft jade and warmth was truly pleasant.

Only after Zhang Yuzhe clearly saw the person in front of him did he realize that these two were acquaintances. The one he was holding was Zhuo Yubin, the class's literary committee member, and the other was the beautiful Wu Xinyu.

Seeing that she had been caught by Zhang Yuzhe, Zhuo Yubin giggled at Zhang Yuzhe before struggling to break free from his embrace.

"Captain, let's go skating together!" Wu Xinyu was also very happy to see that it was Zhang Yuzhe, so she sweetly invited him.

Zhang Yuzhe, who was feeling conflicted, looked at the sky and felt it was still early. Without much thought, Zhang Yuzhe nodded in agreement.

"Yay!" Seeing Zhang Yuzhe agree, both girls were very happy, as if they had pulled in a scapegoat. Zhang Yuzhe couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, wondering if he had made a mistake.

Seeing the two girls on roller skates, but realizing he didn't have any, Zhang Yuzhe smiled awkwardly at them and said, "Unfortunately, you guys have skates, but I don't! So, I can't accompany you for now."

"Captain, I brought a spare pair, so you can use those." With that, Zhuo Yubin took out a pair of roller skates from her bag and handed them to Zhang Yuzhe.

Zhang Yuzhe: "..."

It wasn't that Zhang Yuzhe didn't like playing this, it's just that he hadn't played it since middle school. Now, playing it again, he felt like he was a bit rusty. But now, playing this again, Zhang Yuzhe also found it interesting.

However, with two girls accompanying him, Zhang Yuzhe didn't feel lonely. He put on the skates, grabbed one of their hands with each of his, and skated out.

Originally, the two girls thought that Zhang Yuzhe wouldn't accompany them because he probably didn't know how to skate. They didn't expect that although Zhang Yuzhe was a bit rusty at first, he later became faster and faster because of his excellent balance, leaving the two girls far behind.
