Sure-fire Technique – Kabedon Great Art

“Ling’er, sorry, I won’t put down Second Brother again,” Mu Yu sincerely expressed.

“An obvious facade. Again,” instructed Tian Ran, giving Mu Yu a knock on the head.

Tian Ran had Mu Yu practicing confessing to Lan Ling’er with her, with her judging the feasibility of his attempts. Tian Ran’s argument was she knew best which confession style girls liked since she was a girl herself.

Mu Yu scrunched his nose. He reset and tried to imagine Tian Ran as Lan Ling’er. “Ling’er, I admit Second Brother is much better than me.”

Mu Yu just couldn’t imagine Tian Ran as Lan Ling’er since they were considerably different personalities.

“That sounds insincere. If you can’t convince me, you can’t convince her.”

“Is lying the only solution? What do you girls like?” Mu Yu complained after the umpteenth attempt that afternoon.

Tian Ran tilted her head and pinched her chin: “We like boys with guts, a sense of duty, someone gentle, considerate, knows how to take care of us, loyal, cares about the family, masculine, willing to do anything for his lover, provides us with a sense of secur-”

“I tick all those boxes. I was born with those traits.”

“Most importantly, he must not be a narcissist.”

Mu Yu pulled a funny face.

Tian Ran added, “Their facial appearance is also important.”Updated from n0velbIn.(c)o/m

“What do you think of my face?” Mu Yu tilted his head, then revealed what he considered a bright and cool smile that’d sweep girls off their feet.

Tian Ran pinched his face and answered, “You have a nose, eyebrows, eyes, ears and mouth. You have a normal face.”

“Wow, girls are so shallow. Shifu says one’s character is the most important part. An upright character wins acknowledgement.”

“Really? Elder Dust Gale is so right,” enthused Tian Ran.

“Shifu also said the most important trait for girls is manners,” lied Mu Yu.

What Feng Haochen really said was, “Be yourself. There’s no need to change who you are for anyone.” Lan Ling’er would’ve copped countless earfuls, otherwise.

“Hmm, Elder Dust Gale is absolutely right. That’s what my shifu told me, but I can’t help myself. I like doing whatever my mood dictates. I don’t want to change. That being said, if Elder Dust Gale tells me to change, I will change no matter what.”

“I should practice first. How about you role play Lan Ling’er? If you could resist my masculinity for so long, I’m halfway there.”

“All right.”

Tian Ran brushed her hair behind her and leaned her back onto the tree. Mu Yu slowly placed his hand onto the tree trunk.

“Not domineering enough. You need to be more manly.”

Mu Yu pulled his arm back and slammed it on the tree trunk again, shaking the poor banyan tree. He paused for a while as he pieced together the words he had withheld for fear of rejection for a long time before saying, “Ling’er, I like you. Will you accept me?”

“Sure,” Tian Ran responded with a nod.

“Eh? That’s it?”

“I’m not Sister Ling’er. It’s pointless for me to say yes, hehe.”

Mu Yu and Tian Ran gave it a few more runs until he was confident he grasped the essence of Kabedon Great Art. He mustered up the courage to go and pour his heart out. Tian Ran watched from a corner and said, “Confessing is easy. In the worst case scenario, you’ll be friend zoned and be granted a nice gentleman card.”

“What’s a nice gentleman card?”

“Not too sure myself. Senior Sister told me girls can’t be ruthless when rejecting a man, so they give the man a nice gentleman card. Maybe they write a rejection letter worded nicely?”

“What the actual...?”

That was worthless information. Mu Yu did a lap around the mountain on feet but didn’t see any signs of Lan Ling’er. He asked the twins to see if they knew. They stated she went to train halfway up the mountain. She wasn’t training when he found her, nonetheless. She sat there and spaced out as she peered into the distance. He cleared his throat.

Lan Ling’er looked over her shoulder and mocked, “What, you have a cold?”

Mu Yu brushed off the jab and replied, “Ling’er, come here. I have something to say.”

“Just spit.”

Mu Yu, standing by the tree, scratched his face and tried again. “Just come here. I don’t want others to hear me.”

Lan Ling’er narrowed her eyes for a few seconds before complying. She stopped next to the tree. Mu Yu pushed her up against the tree on her shoulder, refocused and slammed the tree.

“What are you doing?” Lan Ling’er threw a front kick. Unprepared, Mu Yu groaned as he was sent past the rock and off the mountain...

Mouth gaping, Tian Ran scratched the back of her head. “Why didn’t she act according to the script?”
