High School Belle Fell in Love with Me

Chapter 382 - 185: Cultivation Technique for Enhancing Attractiveness (3)

After Li Yang finished speaking, he gripped the basketball single-handedly, took a few running steps, and fiercely slammed the basketball into the hoop.

Wu Tianqi turned to Jiang Banxia and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, you better keep an eye on this guy, he has a thousand ways to show off!"

Jiang Banxia smiled slightly, "Actually, I think Fellow Daoist Wu is quite handsome too, it’s just..."

"Just what?"

Wu Tianqi’s mood suddenly improved a lot, after all, this was Jiang Banxia’s approval.

How many people in the world could get such approval.

Before Jiang Banxia could speak, Li Yang ran over and said, "Master Jiang means, if you weren’t ugly, you would actually be quite handsome."

Wu Tianqi: "..."

Shut your filthy mouth!

Jiang Banxia hurriedly explained, "I didn’t mean that... what I meant is, people who truly care about you will think you’re handsome no matter what you do."

Li Yang: "Let me translate that..."

"Shut up! I don’t need your translation!"

Jiang Banxia: "Fellow Daoist Wu, I think since you like her so much, you should go for it."

Wu Tianqi said softly, "But she has a boyfriend."

"What’s to be afraid of if she has a boyfriend? At least you’re the first one, it’s like investing in a company, you have the lead investor’s right. This round is just beginning, and she hasn’t rejected you, no one else has offered a higher bid, you’ve got such a big chance, wouldn’t it be a shame to give it up?"

Li Yang couldn’t help but say from the side, "Master Jiang, are you teaching Fellow Daoist Wu to be a simp?"

"It’s not a big deal to be a bit of a simp if you like her that much."

Li Yang: "Oh, let me translate that. It means... you don’t have any other skills, so if nothing else, just be that simp. At worst, when she and her boyfriend book a room, you can buy the condoms in advance and send them over, at least it gives you some involvement."

Jiang Banxia quickly pulled Li Yang away after hearing this.

She said exasperatedly, "Why do you have to put it so unpleasantly, he’s in a bad mood, can’t you just comfort him?"

Li Yang explained, "That would only make him sink deeper; once he has an excuse, he would avoid reality. People are inherently weak; they like to find excuses. Just like stock trading, losing a few hundred today doesn’t bother you if you think you’ll earn it back at work. But if you keep losing and not caring, by the end, you’ll find you can’t recover anymore."

"But what if that stock makes money?"

"Money earned by luck doesn’t rest easy in your hands."

Jiang Banxia: "Wasn’t I also lucky to catch you at the bottom of the graduation wall that day? Otherwise, I might have ended up in the hospital."

That was the only day Jiang Banxia felt she could help Li Yang.

Although it was a very small thing, it gave her the courage to participate in Li Yang’s life.

Only later did she notice something wrong with Li Yang’s arm and realized things weren’t that smooth as they seemed.

Li Yang looked at her.

Jiang Banxia blushed under his gaze.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, that day you protected me from getting hurt, I just..." In the end, Jiang Banxia admitted her mistake, that she shouldn’t use that incident as an excuse.

"Just what?" Li Yang asked.

"Just thinking that it’s not easy for Fellow Daoist Wu to find a girlfriend, after all, he can’t find another girlfriend right now, so he might as well be a bit infatuated, what if... the girl’s heart softens?"

"Pfft..."

...

That afternoon, at the basketball court in the community.

Li Yang stood in the middle, one arm around someone’s shoulder, and the three of them took a photo together.

Before leaving, Li Yang sent the photo to Wu Tianqi and said, "Fellow Daoist Wu, we don’t have much to give you, so make good use of this photo. This is my secret technique to increase attractiveness, remember, you must post it on your friend circle."

"..."

Jiang Banxia: "..."

Master Li is too spot-on!

It’s almost unsettling how much he understands.

It’s over!

Next time we meet, it’ll probably be during the Chinese New Year, and who knows what changes may occur in the future?

At least the changes on Jiang Banxia’s side have already begun, and no one can stop her from pursuing the public fund now.

However, his date with Jiang Banxia was just beginning.

"Master Li, what did you do during your summer vacations as a kid?"

"Huh? As a kid? There was so much to do, catching fish, playing with marbles, playing triangle, four-corner... Oh right, and iron fighting."

"Hmm? What’s iron fighting?"

"It’s where you draw a circle on the ground, place an iron object inside it, and everyone uses their own iron objects in free fall. As long as you knock out any iron object from the circle, you win it. If your iron object lands inside the circle, you can’t take it out and have to endure others attacking your item."

"Can’t you use a really big iron piece?"

"Yeah, I relied on a seven or eight-pound sledgehammer from home, no idea how many things I won from them. Even if my sledgehammer landed in the circle, they had no way to knock it out."

"Couldn’t others bring something bigger?"

"Sure, but... the sledgehammer has no leverage point, it’s hard to pry out. If they used something big, they’d have to bear the risk of losing. I wished they would bring something bigger to play with me. Losing didn’t worry me, the cost of that sledgehammer was already earned back. I could do business without cost, could they? Losing big items from home would get them beaten by their families!"

"Master Li, how are you so clever?" Jiang Banxia didn’t expect that even in a simple game, Li Yang would weigh so many factors.

Yet when he jumped off the 4.2-meter graduation wall, he didn’t weigh the risks to himself.
