At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

"Sometimes you boys just can't swallow your pride. At this moment, your girlfriend is fuming, and no matter how you explain, she's not going to take it in."

"The best thing you can do is to openly admit it first, and then, when she has calmed down, you two can revisit the cause together!"

"Girls think differently than boys! When a girl has a conflict with her boyfriend, the first thing she values is his attitude; right or wrong, she hopes the boy will first be supportive of her emotions."

"Once she has calmed down, she will actually reflect on whether she was in the wrong. That's the time when communication becomes much easier!"

Lin Xinyue explained fluently.

Gu Yu was by her side, tapping away on the notepad on his phone, making sure to record everything Lin Xinyue said.

So that's how it is.

The difference in thinking between men and women is indeed quite significant!

When boys encounter a conflict, their first reaction is often to reason things out logically to resolve the issue.

But in reality, the biggest conflict between the two of them isn't about who is right or wrong, but that the girl, as the emotional one, cares first and foremost about whether her feelings can be stabilized.

It's not that girls are illogical; it's just that they prioritize emotions first!

Gu Yu felt like he had learned another small piece of knowledge on how to soothe his girlfriend.

Some people call this behavior being a sycophant, but Gu Yu found it to be quite normal. Different ways of thinking lead to different methods of handling situations.

It all depends on who is willing to be more considerate towards the other. Find more chapters on empire

Liking someone, how can that be called groveling?

"Alright, I'll go and admit my mistake first, but she won't hold onto the issue and refuse to listen to my explanation afterwards, will she?"

Yu Shutong was also beginning to understand the gist.

Still, he worried that if he really admitted to doing something outrageous at first, Zhuang Yan wouldn't listen to his explanation afterwards.

"That won't happen. Girls usually don't remember what they said when they were angry." Lin Xinyue shook her head.

"Besides, if she has calmed down later and still doesn't want to have a proper conversation with you, then... actually, it might be better if... cough cough, I shouldn't be the one to say this, you know what I mean."

Lin Xinyue added.

She disliked the kind of girl who just wants her boyfriend to always side with her and be the first to admit fault every time.

After all, a relationship should be relatively equal, not one where one side is always yielding to the other.

"I'm off to chase after Yan then! Thank you, younger sister-in-law. If the problem gets solved tomorrow, I'll treat you to a milk tea!"

Having an epiphany, Yu Shutong looked at Zhuang Yan's fading figure and quickly scanned a shared bike to chase after her.

"Go for it, Laoer! You can't let your future wife get away!"

"Laoer, you can do it!"

"Crap, being in love is so scary, but my paper wife is much easier!"

"Huh?" Boss Pu, Gu Yu, and Lin Xinyue all looked towards Qin Shan simultaneously.

Qin Shan was holding a keychain in his hand with an acrylic plate of Rem on it.

Boss Pu had a bizarre look on his face: "Laosan, you haven't lost interest in women, have you... If I remember correctly, aren't you the only one in your family?"

"Er... I am not gay, I just think dating is a hassle..."

Qin Shan quickly put away his keychain.

Gu Yu shook his head, it seemed that the three had been deeply hurt by Wan Jinfeng...

Of course, he didn't voice this thought out loud.

Ever since Qin Shan and Wan Jinfeng broke up, apart from writing game planning documents at the office, he immersed himself in writing his own novels.

When he returned home, he would just shut himself away in his room to watch anime.

He had completely become a socially withdrawn otaku.

Though there were a few young girls in the company who showed interest in him, he had always turned a blind eye.

He didn't know whether he genuinely didn't like her or if he was still immersed in his last relationship and couldn't move on.

They say that writers are overly sentimental, but Brother Three seems to be an exception...

The group stood at the intersection waiting for Yu Shutong for a while, but there was no sign of him for ages.

Yu Shutong was probably going to have a rough night tonight.

So, Gu Yu drove everyone back home.

Back at the apartment, Gu Yu rested in his computer chair. He couldn't have imagined that such an incident would happen tonight.

If it weren't for trusting Laoer's character, plus the fact that other employees from the development department had confirmed that their entertainment tonight was just a slight brush with the edge and not really anything lewd.

He wouldn't have guessed it was all a big misunderstanding!

Being mistaken for a lookout at a prostitution bust and taken away by the police, Laoer must have been the first to have such an experience.

"Click—"

Just as Gu Yu sat in his chair, reminiscing over the incident with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, the room door slowly opened.

Lin Xinyue squeezed into the room.

"Eh, Xinyue, you aren't resting?" Gu Yu glanced at the time—it was already half past one in the morning.

"Shh~ I am resting! Isn't that why I'm here now?"

Lin Xinyue made a shushing gesture to Gu Yu, then pulled out a large carrot pillow from behind her back.

Gu Yu was astonished: "Uh?"

Lin Xinyue tossed the pillow onto Gu Yu's bed, walked behind him, and wrapped her arms around his neck. She bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Can I sleep with you tonight?"

Gu Yu's first reaction was: "Mhm."

The second reaction was to sit up straight in shock, twisting his head to look at Lin Xinyue with sheer astonishment: "!!?"

"What the heck?"

He never expected Lin Xinyue to say something like that.

"Hm? Can't I?" Lin Xinyue pouted.

Why did Gu Yu look so panicked!?

"It's... It's okay!"

Gu Yu still hadn't fully recovered, then he lowered his head a bit embarrassedly: "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? No, I mean... is it too fast?"

"And, I, I haven't bought... uh, the, the whatchamacallit, condom..."

As a novice, Gu Yu was rather awkward.

"Huh???" Lin Xinyue's face was full of confusion, and then, hearing him mention condoms, she immediately knew he had misunderstood her intention.

A flush of crimson spread across her face, and she pointed a finger at Gu Yu's forehead, slightly annoyed: "What are you thinking... I just meant to sleep, only sleep! We can't do anything else!"

"Gu Yu: "Ah, oh..."

He felt a touch of disappointment instinctively.

Then he quickly looked up to ask, "Why did you suddenly think of sleeping with me?"

Lin Xinyue sighed helplessly: "Sigh, Ya has gone home for a few days, and the showerhead in our apartment bathroom is broken and leaks water, dripping all night long. I get scared."

If it weren't for the fact she was easily frightened, she would never have sought help from Gu Yu!

This guy must be up to no good!

"Heh heh, so that's the reason! Then let's go to sleep!"

Gu Yu gave a wicked chuckle, stood up, lifted Lin Xinyue in his arms, and threw the beauty onto the bed in one swift motion.

Click— the light turned off.

The night was charming.
