Liu Rushuang spoke slowly, "Your biggest problem right now is that anything you give seems like it needs to receive some kind of reward."
This puts an invisible pressure on people; they always feel there might be an unexpected cost involved, so they subconsciously reject your kindness. Over time, this becomes a vicious cycle.
That girl today, An Nuannuan, although she appears clueless, her repeated "showing weakness" actually gives boys a sense of achievement. That's exactly the opposite of what you do. Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
You need to remember that many things, when you seek no repayment, will yield the greatest return."
Yao Mingyue was well aware of this; she bit her lip, "So, should I play dumb like her?"
"Of course not."
Liu Rushuang smiled as she looked at her daughter.
"In fact, actions like washing clothes, delivering water, and bringing breakfast, any girl can do. Your mistake was considering yourself just an ordinary girl."
Liu Rushuang reached out and stroked her daughter's head, "My girl has always been the brightest one, you have your own charm, a charm no other girl can ever replicate."
You need to think of another way, a way to help him, a way he can't refuse.
Remember, a boy will always remember the person who delivers coal in snowy weather.
You can continue to be good to him, and do so without expecting anything in return. I understand Xiaosen; the more you do this, the more he will keep your shadow in his heart."
Yao Mingyue listened, and a sense of clarity dawned in her mind. Her eyes sparkled, and after a long time, she nodded gently.
"Mom, I get it..."
Liu Rushuang touched her daughter's cheek again, her heart filled with complex emotions.
She could provide her daughter with the best material conditions, but when it came to emotions, her daughter was far too lacking.
It was a situation she would have to face sooner or later.
It was good to experience a bit more.
...
The next day.
Xu Musen eagerly went to the counselor, Bai Xin, at noon.
It has to be said, having connections really makes things easier. After the dinner party last night,
Musen started calling the counselor "Auntie Bai," and after she rewrote his recommendation letter vouching for him personally, the department approved the project immediately.
Upon entering the office, Xu Musen cheerfully greeted her, "Auntie Bai!"
Bai Xin was wearing a casual, white outfit today. Her long legs were accentuated by the pencil pants, making them look slim and straight, with spotless white heels on her feet.

She exuded the vibe of a gentle and intelligent big sister as she sipped her coffee.
"I've said it before; in the school, you should address me by my official title."
"But this feels more intimate, doesn't it?"
Musen chuckled merrily and rubbed his hands together, "About my application..."
"First make me a cup of coffee."
Now that Bai Xin knew Xu Musen was a friend's junior, she felt even less guilty about ordering him around.
She handed him the mug she had in her hands.
Musen took the mug; he was now the one asking for a favor, so naturally, he complied.
"Alright, hand-brewed coffee is my specialty."
Musen went to the coffee machine, started selecting beans, roasted them slightly, ground them into powder and slowly controlled the temperature to brew a cup of coffee.
The unique aroma of coffee filled the room.
"Please enjoy."
It wasn't long before Xu Musen brought over the coffee.
Bai Xin tasted it and found it to be quite good. She nodded her approval, "I think you could open a coffee shop. It would be quite profitable on campus."
"For those words, once I have the money, I'll definitely open one, and it'll be free forever for you, Auntie Bai."
"Tsk, don't try to butter me up. I don't fall for that."
Bai Xin was now aware of this kid's, her best friend's daughter's, and another girl's tangled web of love and hatred.
So young, yet already showing signs of a Casanova.
Fortunately, she was already a mature woman who had seen her fair share of the world.
Well, even though she didn't even know how many years it had been since she was single...
