The Secret to Picking Up Girls

"So, what happened after that?" Zhang Yuze felt a little depressed.

Guo Xiaolu gave a wry smile, took a deep breath, and gazed at the distant darkness, saying quietly, "I didn't understand until he told me later that he wanted to use this method to attract my attention, to make me notice him. But at that time, my heart was only focused on studying, and I wasn't interested in anything outside of studying."

"He… he confessed to you?" Zhang Yuze's heart tightened, and he thought to himself, 'Damn it, it really is such a cliché! Could it be that my Xiaolu-jie has been snatched up by someone else?'

"I told him at the time that I would only consider it if his score in the college entrance exam exceeded mine." A trace of captivating light flickered in Xiaolu-jie's eyes.

From Xiaolu-jie's voice, Zhang Yuze could feel a kind of pain and loneliness. Zhang Yuze could hear that there were many stories here, many stories that he didn't understand. Only now did Zhang Yuze feel that he seemed to be truly entering Xiaolu-jie's life.

"So, what was the result?" Zhang Yuze couldn't help but ask.

"Later, he didn't perform well in the college entrance exam due to an accident. I haven't seen him since then, not even when filling out college applications. I don't know where he went, and even his family came to me, saying that I was the girl he was always thinking about before he disappeared." Her voice had a slight tremor and a sob.

Seeing tears instantly welling up in the little sister's eyes, Zhang Yuze felt a little heartache. Now he knew that the little sister's inner world was not as gentle as it seemed on the surface, and that there was also fragility.

Gently putting his arm around the little sister's slender waist, Zhang Yuze said with pity, "Sister, don't be sad anymore. Believe that he just went to a place we don't know and is living there, and nothing unexpected will happen."

"Yeah, I hope so too." The little sister heard Zhang Yuze's comfort and gave Zhang Yuze a grateful look, seemingly not noticing that she was being intimately embraced by Zhang Yuze.

"Sister, your wish couldn't be for him, could it?" Zhang Yuze's heart stirred, and he vaguely sensed why the little sister liked to come here to make wishes. But he also felt it was a bit absurd. Wishing on a shooting star is a very absurd thing. There have been such legends for thousands of years, but how many people can truly realize their wishes?

"Yes! In my hometown, the legend is that shooting stars in the sky are signs of gods going out. If the person who discovers him makes a wish to him, it can be realized. So, every time I see a shooting star, I make a wish, hoping he can come back." As Xiaolu-jie spoke, a look of hope appeared on her face.

Zhang Yuze shook his head. This little sister was really adorably confused, even doing such a thing. But seeing how much the little sister cared about that boy, he still felt a little jealous. If she really realized her wish and that boy came back, what should he do? But seeing the sad look on the little sister's face, in order to give her a good mood now, Zhang Yuze secretly took out the love comparison table and adjusted her mood.
