Luo Ran burst out laughing and said, “I guess that was really the case.”


  Shen Zhilie didn’t have many friends. Luo Ran was one of the few.

  They had met in university and maintained their friendship. It could be said that the relationship they had with each other wasn’t too bad.

  Luo Ran loved hanging out at bars. Over time, that had rubbed off on Shen Zhilie, who frequently hung out with him.

  Shen Zhilie had gotten to know his previous few girlfriends at the bar. Slowly, he realized that women at the bar weren’t reliable, so he gave up the thought of getting rid of his bachelor status at the bar.

  Unfortunately, after those girlfriends had amicably parted ways with him, they had ended up befriending Luo Ran.

  They had told Luo Ran that Shen Zhilie hadn’t made any sexual advances toward them whatsoever. That had been a laughing point for Luo Ran until this day.

  Hearing Luo Ran’s laughter now, Shen Zhilie knew that things didn’t look optimistic.

  Indeed, Luo Ran’s next words affirmed his feelings. “It was her first time, and it was your first time. You’d never tasted a woman before. In the heat of the moment, you must have annoyed her. That’s why she rejected you.”


  Shen Zhilie was quiet when he heard that.

  Well……

  Was that truly the reason?

  At the thought of her reaction the previous night, Shen Zhilie felt that Luo Ran was right.

  Luo Ran seemed to be experienced when it came to matters like this. His explanation seemed to address the entire issue.

  Shen Zhilie was still in the queue to buy breakfast. The number of people in front of him dwindled.

  Luo Ran saw that Shen Zhilie wasn’t speaking and said, “You said that you slept with her last night and immediately asked her to meet your parents. A normal woman would probably think that you’re in a hurry to marry her because you’re unable to nab yourself a wife and are trying to tie her down before she runs off. If I were that lady, I’d probably have broken up with you while still in bed. Evidently, that lady has a good temper.”


  “What bullsh*t! She’s not like you at all! You change women as if you’re changing clothes! I’ll have you know that I’m her first boyfriend!”


  “That makes even more sense. A woman who has never been in a relationship before will have a thousand and one requirements regarding a relationship.” Luo Ran was feeling sleepy and yawned aloud. He leaned back in the lounge and said, “They want a man who’s handsome…… and rich…… and treats them well. They want the life of a princess and see the man as nothing more than a Prince Charming atop a white horse. A loser like you is outside the scope of those ladies’ sexual fantasies.”


  Shen Zhilie was at a loss for words.

  “Besides, you mentioned that this lady is the older sister of your ex-sister-in-law. She must know your family fairly well. Considering how badly your grandmother treated your ex-sister-in-law, it’s only normal that this lady doesn’t dare marry you.”


  Shen Zhilie was silent.

  “Alright. I’ll leave you to think about it on your own. In any case, I don’t intend to get married, and I can probably guess what this lady is thinking. Don’t pressure her too much. Even rabbits bite when under duress. This lady is inexperienced too. No matter how eager you are, you’ll just have to hold it in. Don’t give her PTSD, or you’ll have to end up paying the price at the end.”


  Shen Zhilie was unhappy when he heard that. “You sound like you know it all.”


  “That goes without saying! Have you forgotten who I am? What sort of woman have I not met before? Describe any type to me, and I can bring them to you in the dozens. I know that much well. Alright, I’m hanging up. I’m going to sleep. Bye.”


  Luo Ran disconnected the call. Shen Zhilie was left feeling even more unsettled.

  That guy had gone in circles with his words just to tell him that his emotional intelligence was low.

  At that moment, Shen Zhilie’s turn in the queue came.

  “Hello, sir. What would you like to order?”
