To deal with a lovesick girl, you should mainly pamper her, using sweet nothings to deprive her of the ability to think.

The jerk coughed softly and cleared his throat, his magnetic scoundrel voice emerging as he spoke.

"Of course I miss you. Every day I can't wait to wake up wrapped in your embrace, gazing into each other's eyes, the morning sunlight dusting your cheeks, a smile on your lips, tender and gleaming. Wouldn't that be a marvelous scene?"

The girl's heart seemed to explode with a bang, cleanly shattered.

Ah! It's no good, I'm done for!

However, the jerk's routine continued.

Next, he'd paint her a romantic picture, the more unrealistic the better.

"In twenty years, our home might have turned into a seaside villa on a small Pacific island. We'd wake up, embrace, and gaze at the sea. When the sun sets, we'd be doing what we love on the pristine beach..."

"You certainly can't imagine what kind of Valentine's Day gift I have prepared for you. Trust me, you can start looking forward to it now..."

At this point, she was completely floating.

Her mind was a blank canvas; all logic and reasoning could get lost!

Alright, time to find a reason for her not to rush over immediately.

"This is just a small place here. You're so beautiful and well-known, it would be too easy for your location to be revealed if you came. Most importantly, you would scare my parents. I'm not even twenty yet; they might not accept it..."

OK, all set and done.

The girl was very disappointed, but her mood was sweet. Lie Lie is so romantic, I really want to cry!

"Alright, I know my ideas are too far-fetched. Let's wait until we're back in the Magic Capital to date!

But I really do miss you... I think of you every night before I sleep, when I wake up, even when I'm using the bathroom.

Do you know? I love you so much I can't breathe. I'm sleepless at night for you. Just hearing your voice makes my body start to heat up... Really, I swear!"

This girl's sweet talk was so coy and earnest, frank and fiery, utterly adorable.

In the entertainment industry, she wasn't the best wife material, but when it came to the experience of dating, she was definitely top-tier.

Han Lie didn't know how long this relationship could last, but he was already preparing an exit strategy for her.

I'll help you make a fortune of several hundred million, secure your status in high fashion and luxury endorsements. Then, in this crappy entertainment circle, you can do as you please—stay and be a big shot or leave. Isn't that generous enough?!

And so, Lie Lie easily pacified the little vixen.

「Next, the jerk moves on to Sister Ting.」

Unlike the first girl, Sister Ting truly wished to be, and was capable of being, a good wife and mother.

Artsy young women don't love easily, but once they do, their level of commitment is entirely different.

Actually, her relationship with Xiao Zuo wasn't a perfect match. It was more that she had reached the age when it was time to start a family. Xiao Zuo happened to meet her criteria for an obedient younger partner and held no prejudice against her for being in the entertainment industry, so they naturally headed towards marriage.

Wealth, conversely, wasn't the decisive factor.

Among the dregs in Wan Wan's circle, she was one of the very few with a good reputation.

Wealthy suitors had been pursuing her relentlessly. If she had truly wanted to marry into a rich family, she would have had the chance years ago.

So, to win her over, he absolutely couldn't talk about material things.

"Sister, I miss you so much!"

Han Lie was truly shameless, acting cute right from the start. It was so cringey!

But Sister Ting completely fell for it, her mood instantly brightening, her spirits soaring.

Then, Lie Lie began his stream-of-consciousness, baring his "soul."

"Sister, there's a mountain near my home. It's not high, but the summit is very flat. Standing at the top and gazing at the Milky Way at night, it's so brilliant and vast...

But that's not the point.

Do you know, Sister, when you hear my words and look up, we're not actually seeing the same patch of sky?

This mountain lies on the dividing line of 37 degrees north latitude, while you're in northern Wan Wan at 25 degrees north latitude, seeing that bisected beam of light a ten-thousandth of a second before I do.

If we could turn our longing into a gaze and trace it upwards along that beam, eventually merging in the dazzling river of stars...

I would be chasing you forever, a ten-thousandth of a second behind you."

Han Lie actually had no idea if this bullshit theory was correct or not.

But Qing Ting was, without a doubt, utterly captivated.

"Lie Lie, I don't want you to go through so much trouble! I'm going to book a flight right now to join you and see the stars at 37 degrees north latitude!"

Damn! Hasn't this backfired? Sister Ting's determination to come over is even stronger now, isn't it?!

Han Lie had anticipated this and had already prepared his lines.

He replied decisively, "No, don't come. It was wrong of me to tease you in the first place. I can't let you bear any more pressure."

Sister Ting was stubborn. "I'm not afraid of any pressure!"

But Han Lie's reasoning was more substantial. "Considering our age gap and my current personal wealth, if you come here, no one will look upon you kindly, nor will any friends or family bless us.

I know you don't care, but why should you have to endure such pain when it could clearly be avoided?

I can listen to you in other matters, but not this one.

Listen to me, don't come. Be good and stay home for the New Year. When we're both back in the Magic Capital, I want you to show me your utmost passion, a wild night in bed..."

Han Lie, who usually indulged her every whim, adopted an extremely rare, firm stance.
