Chapter 646: Zhang Xiaoying: ?
“What kind of woman do men like?”
“Based on my research on humans, I can basically categorize them into two types.”
“The stunning white moonlight, the long-time red mole.”
“Either they are perfect at first glance, aligning with a man’s aesthetic and instincts, leading to impulsive actions.”
“Or it’s long-term companionship that smooths out the rough edges, allowing the emotional parts of his brain to take the reins.”
“So when you combine these two points, things become very simple.”
“You just need a breathtakingly beautiful woman, like a celestial fairy, who is wholeheartedly devoted to a man; there aren’t many who can resist.”
“And you don’t have to worry about me being immune to this; trust me, I’m a total pervert.”
Xu Hongyi: “…”
Zhang Xiaoying: “…”
Yan Rouwan and Nian Nian both facepalmed: “…Sounds just like something he would say.”
“Of course, if there’s an unexpected scenario, like if my rationality overrides instinct and emotion due to our differing positions, I won’t accept your words no matter what.”
“Don’t rush. I have a brilliant plan.”
“For men, there’s an emotion that can override reason, emotion, and instinct, pushing their fondness for a woman to the absolute peak.”
“And that is… guilt!”
“As the saying goes, ‘There was once a sincere love right in front of me, but I didn’t cherish it; only after losing it did I realize my regret.’ Men can’t resist those infatuated women who sacrifice everything for them.”
“So if you run into a bottleneck while trying to win me over…”
“Don’t panic, just steady him for a moment.”
“There will come a time when, due to some reason, I’ll have to ask for your help.”
“And in that moment, all you need to do is grab the opportunity, act like you’re going to sacrifice a lot, and throw in a bit of emotional performance, especially looking like you’re doing it all without regret or seeking anything in return.”
“The key point is, after the performance, make a run for it! Don’t give me a chance to fix things!”
“In the latter part of this letter, I’ve also left a few lines for you as support. I guarantee I’ll be so overwhelmed that I won’t sleep well after reading it.”
“By then, I’ll sit up in bed halfway through the night and slap myself, thinking ‘I’m so damned hopeless.’”
“And thus, the grand plan is complete.”
“You just have to let that emotion stir for a while, then create some romantic scene for us to meet again.”
“By then, I’ll definitely hold you tightly, vowing never to leave your side.”
When it’s all said and done, this was nothing short of an astonishing tutorial on flirting.
Not to mention Xu Hongyi feeling dizzy, even Zhang Xiaoying was momentarily speechless.
…One must admit, in a sense, it’s all spot-on.
Thinking back on the women around Sang Zhe, they all seem to fit into these three templates.
It turns out, the one who knows oneself best is oneself.
“Now that’s laughable.” Nian Nian shook her head, both amused and exasperated: “So we’ve been busy for ages, all for this jerk’s elaborate play.”
Yan Rouwan chuckled lightly: “That guy really is like this.”
“I have a question.” Zhang Xiaoying suddenly said, “Why did my husband foresee that Little Ying You would run into trouble when writing this letter? Wasn’t this just an accident?”
“Didn’t you figure it out yet?”
Yan Rouwan’s tone held a hint of grievance as she quietly said: “The Wheel of Time is the all-powerful rules, and, of course, it’s his power of rules.”
“And the Wheel of Time can not only look into the past.”
“…It can also gaze into the future.”
Zhang Xiaoying was struck with realization.
“So everything, from the very beginning, was already within my husband’s expectations?”
“That’s what makes it more infuriating.” Nian Nian ground her teeth, “That jerk, knowing everything, still created such a mess. Not only does he leave it all for us to clean up, but he also just happily reincarnates!”
“Now, we’re all frazzled trying to fix his mess while he floats through life, enjoying the sights with his daughter, having forgotten everything!”
“This is just ridiculous!”
“I’m definitely going to give that little fireball a stern talking-to once we’re back!”
Yan Rouwan shot her a disdainful look: “You’re all bark and no bite. Don’t say you haven’t been blooded once; with your little frame, if you really went for it, you’d just end up being schooled.”
“Better to gather a few sisters when we go back. Let’s tire him out for three days and nights without letting him get out of bed.”
While Nian Nian and Yan Rouwan were still discussing how to get revenge on Sang Zhe, Zhang Xiaoying’s gaze returned to Xu Hongyi.
Xu Hongyi looked a bit dazed after reading the letter.
She seemed to be hesitating about something.
…Is she feeling that deceiving feelings like this is a bit too much?
This girl surprisingly seems rather pure-hearted, Zhang Xiaoying thought to herself.
And then she heard Xu Hongyi ask, with a hint of confusion, after a long pause:
“White moonlight… red mole?”
“What does that mean?”
You’ve spent all this time just pondering the first three lines?
For some reason, she suddenly felt no hostility towards this woman; instead, she just wanted to hurry home.
“Yan Senior Sister, let’s keep going, quickly find out where she is now.”
Yan Rouwan said “oh,” and continued to activate the Wheel of Time.
This time, as the light curtain flowed, the three finally saw the scene from back when Sang Zhe was holding Little Ying You with Xu Hongyi due to causal reasons.
…One must admit.
Seeing it in person is far more impactful than hearing about it from Sang Zhe.
Especially witnessing the profound, complex, and half-told emotions in Sang Zhe’s gaze directed at Xu Hongyi.
Zhang Xiaoying knew best.
That look clearly expressed that my husband was already emotionally invested.
Yet ultimately, because of his responsibilities as a husband and father, due to his relationship with Little Ying You, he never voiced his desire to hold on.
That regret and bitterness were deeply etched in Sang Zhe’s eyes.
Even Zhang Xiaoying, who silently observed from the side, couldn’t help but be moved.
“Xiaoying? Xiaoying? Why are you in a daze?”
After Nian Nian shook her for a long time, Zhang Xiaoying finally lowered her gaze, coming back to her senses: “It’s nothing… just feeling a bit emotional.”
“So it turns out my husband has sacrificed so much for us.”
Nian Nian wanted to remind her that all of this was something he brought upon himself; he was to blame for it all.
But after thinking it through, she held her tongue.
“Yan Senior Sister, did you find it?”
“I found it!” Yan Rouwan’s beautiful eyes also lit up slightly.
In her hands, on the intricate and profound patterns of the Causal Lotus, a thread was linked from Xu Hongyi in her cocooned state, extending outward.
Yan Rouwan followed the thread, leading the other two to its end.
However, the scenery at the end began to look familiar.
…It was Linzhou.
In a bustling comic convention, there was a father-daughter cosplaying duo.
At that moment, the daughter was joyfully dancing an adorable宅舞 in the bright sunlight while her stiff and awkward father clumsily followed along.
It was none other than Sang Zhe and Sang Ying You.
Seeing this, the three tensed up.
“No way, right?” Nian Nian said in a low voice, “Could it be that Xu Hongyi… is really possessing Little Ying You?”
Zhang Xiaoying fixated on the thread.
And that thread eventually twisted and turned, leading to the two.
However.
It was not linking to Sang Ying You.
Instead, it delved right into Sang Zhe’s clothing.
…Finally connecting to Sang Zhe’s underwear.
