The Secret to Picking Up Girls

“Hehe, thank you. I'm just bored,” Lu Yao said with a smile to Guo Xiaolu.

“Oh, right, you forgot to take your phone just now. I brought it to return it to you,” Lu Yao said to Zhang Yuzhe and Guo Xiaolu, as if she had remembered something.

“Oh! So that's how it is!” Zhang Yuzhe nodded slightly as he listened. Only now did he realize why Lu Yao had rushed out after them.

Upon hearing this, Guo Xiaolu immediately opened her handbag and checked inside, only to find that her phone was indeed missing. She didn't know when she had lost it. She was stunned for a moment, then reached out to take Lu Yao's phone and said gratefully, “Thank you so much. I'm so forgetful. I don't even know when I dropped my phone.”

“Hehe, it's nothing. It's what I should do,” Lu Yao said with a smile to Guo Xiaolu.

“Alright, I still have things to do at the store, so I'll go back first.” With that, Lu Yao smiled at Zhang Yuzhe and Guo Xiaolu before turning and leaving.

Zhang Yuzhe watched Lu Yao's departing figure, feeling a little melancholy in his heart. Remembering that he still had a task to complete, he felt a bit of a headache. Fortunately, there was no time limit for that task, or else Zhang Yuzhe would be in trouble.

Just as Zhang Yuzhe was in a daze, suddenly, his arm hurt. Looking at the young lady beside him who was glaring at him, Zhang Yuzhe asked her with a sheepish smile, “Sister, what's wrong with you?”

“I'm very unhappy with the way you were staring blankly at her. What do you say we should do?” Guo Xiaolu said, looking at Zhang Yuzhe with a reproachful tone.

…

Zhang Yuzhe and the young lady shopped at a few more malls until Guo Xiaolu was a little tired, then he sent her home.

However, after returning home, Zhang Yuzhe looked at the time. It was almost six o'clock in the evening. This was the time when Lu Yao should be off work. Thinking that this was a good opportunity to get in touch with Lu Yao, he was indeed a little tempted.

The white "Bugatti Veyron" drove to the outside of the Dicos restaurant. Zhang Yuzhe looked at his watch and waited patiently in the car.

Watching the customers coming in and out, Zhang Yuzhe took out a Zhonghua cigarette and started smoking listlessly.

Suddenly, a familiar, beautiful figure came into Zhang Yuzhe's view. Zhang Yuzhe quickly got out of the car and walked towards Lu Yao.

“Lu Yao!”

Lu Yao was carrying bags in both hands and was about to go back when she heard someone calling her. She was stunned for a moment and stopped. Looking at Zhang Yuzhe walking towards her, she was taken aback and asked, “Why is it you?”

Zhang Yuzhe looked at Lu Yao's beautiful big eyes staring straight at his face and said with a sheepish smile, “Hehe, I came specifically to find you.”

“Oh! Looking for me? Is there something you need?” Lu Yao asked, smiling faintly as she looked at Zhang Yuzhe.

“Well, I want… I want to give you a ride…” Zhang Yuzhe didn't know why, but he felt a little nervous when he said this.

Lu Yao took a deep look at Zhang Yuzhe and nodded silently.

Seeing her agree, Zhang Yuzhe was immediately overjoyed.

After getting into the car, Zhang Yuzhe didn't start driving right away. He could tell that although Lu Yao seemed to be smiling on the surface, her heart was probably not as cheerful as she appeared.

“Are… are you doing okay lately?” Zhang Yuzhe said, looking at Lu Yao, who was silent beside him.

“I guess so. People just live like this. It doesn't really matter if it's good or bad,” Lu Yao said faintly, brushing the hair on her forehead as she looked at Zhang Yuzhe.

Zhang Yuzhe nodded slightly and said to Lu Yao solemnly, “I just want to tell you that no matter what you encounter, there are still many people who care about you.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Yao's delicate body trembled slightly, and she inadvertently said, “Does that person include you too?”

“Of course, it includes me. And among these people, the person who cares about you the most is me,” Zhang Yuzhe said decisively.

Zhang Yuzhe mustered a lot of courage to say these words. He knew that it was not easy for ordinary people to move a girl like Lu Yao, who was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. You had to have a lot of sincerity.

However, after Zhang Yuzhe finished speaking, Lu Yao remained silent for a long time. This silence made Zhang Yuzhe feel a little uneasy. According to the information from his Treasure Mirror, Lu Yao was not completely indifferent to him, but she only regarded him as slightly better than ordinary people. This made Zhang Yuzhe a little unclear about Lu Yao's attitude towards him.

Taking out the Treasure Mirror, Zhang Yuzhe turned to Lu Yao's page. After looking at it carefully, it seemed that Lu Yao's mood was very bad at this time. It had actually reached 10, which could be said to be a very bad mood. And to be able to maintain such a state of mind in front of Zhang Yuzhe was actually not an easy thing.

Fortunately, although it was only a mood of 10, Zhang Yuzhe had the Treasure Mirror in hand, which could make her mood slightly better. Especially after Zhang Yuzhe's Treasure Mirror was upgraded, it could adjust the mood by 40. Although it couldn't make Lu Yao's mood truly better, it was still not bad.

Thinking about it, Zhang Yuzhe's hand was on the page of Lu Yao's mood in the Treasure Mirror, and he adjusted her mood to 50.

Suddenly, Lu Yao took a deep breath and said to Zhang Yuzhe with a light smile, “Thank you. I don't know why, but every time I see you, my mood always gets a little better.”

“Hehe! As long as you're happy, I'll always be with you.” Zhang Yuzhe's words were really extremely cheesy, and it was really not something that ordinary people could say.

Lu Yao took a deep look at Zhang Yuzhe and said with a faint smile, “Yuzhe, if it weren't for you today, I really wanted to cry. Really…”

Zhang Yuzhe nodded slightly and said to Lu Yao, “If you really want to cry, then cry it out! That way, you'll feel better in your heart. If it's not enough, I'll cry with you.”

Hearing Zhang Yuzhe's interesting words, Lu Yao suddenly “puchi!” laughed, and glared at Zhang Yuzhe and said, “You're a big man crying, that's so ugly.” Saying that, Lu Yao paused, and said to Zhang Yuzhe quietly, “I don't want you to cry with me either, I just need your shoulder to lean on.”

“As you wish!” Saying that, Zhang Yuzhe opened his arms and made a hugging gesture.

In the next second, Lu Yao leaned gently on Zhang Yuzhe's shoulder, her shoulders twitching, and she was crying softly, as if venting something.
