The Secret to Picking Up Girls

Becoming somewhat impatient while waiting, Zhang Yuze turned on the television. He particularly enjoyed watching the local station's news about events happening in the area. Initially, he was quite interested in a segment about finding a 'Good Samaritan' hero, but the more he watched, the more something seemed off. The screen displayed surveillance footage showing a young man knocking over a motorcycle and capturing two men who were attempting a snatch-and-grab robbery.

“We are moved by this young man's heroic act of bravery and hope he will come forward for an interview, so more people can know that passion and justice still exist, and that heroes are still among us,” reported Xiao Ru, a reporter from Nanmin TV.

… …

“Isn't that me?” Zhang Yuze, watching the footage, saw the young man, incredibly cool, delivering a flying kick that knocked the motorcycle over. He hadn't realized he looked so awesome at the time! The subsequent series of grappling moves were as classic as something out of a movie.

“So it turns out I'm actually this handsome! I'm only realizing it now; what a loss to the world of beautiful men!” Zhang Yuze said, stroking his chin with a serious expression.

Fortunately, because the footage was from a security camera, the person's image wasn't very clear. This relieved Zhang Yuze, as he didn't want to be recognized. Otherwise, he'd be in big trouble, since he was currently being sought by the police for the bus incident. If they used this as a starting point to find him, it would be extremely problematic.

Next, Zhang Yuze was astonished to discover that there was more news about him. This time, it was about the bus brawl incident. What was originally a small matter had become a very serious public order case after being exposed by the media.

Zhang Yuze realized that he had just been hailed as a heroic role model, but now he had become a social pariah that everyone wanted to punish. The change was too fast!

Watching the female reporter on television calling on the public to provide clues, he wondered what their expressions would be if these media people knew that the hero and the villain were the same person. Fortunately, no one had provided video evidence of the bus incident, or he would easily be recognized.

Sister Xiaolu's skills were indeed excellent. Soon, she served up three complete dishes, each with perfect color, aroma, and taste. They looked really good.

“Sister Xiaolu, you're amazing! The food you make is as delicious as my mom's,” Zhang Yuze said, gobbling down the food while praising her.

“Hmph! I'm not going to marry you stinky men. I'm planning to become a nun and live alone in the mountains,” Sister Xiaolu said, rolling her eyes at Zhang Yuze with some dissatisfaction.
