I used the excuse of "asking for advice on pursuing love" to reconnect, and after my first roundabout confession was rejected, I used a "do or die" strategy, lying that I had a new girlfriend to break the deadlock. I also used the opportunity of setting up my classmate Shiwen and Xiaocui to get closer to each other.
