Le Ran picked up a copy of The Guide to Winning Over Your Crush, planning to make a move on the man she'd secretly loved for eight years, her one and only ideal man.

First attempt.

She counted off on her fingers. "I own four apartments and a car, I run an account with three hundred followers, I'm nice, fair-skinned, and really good at eating..."

Xu Cishu listened in silence, then asked, "And?"

Another attempt.

Xu Cishu looked down at the hands pressed against his abs and calmly reminded her, "I understand that watching Boonie Bears makes you nervous, but Le Ran, could you move your hands first?"

He was hard to get close to, and even harder to win over.

After countless attempts, Le Ran finally reached a conclusion.

Despondent, she crouched on the ground, drunk, her brows knitted and lips pouting as she asked him, "Can't you just like me a little?"

Moonlight fell on her small, fair face. Her nose was red, and her eyes glistened with tears.

Xu Cishu met her gaze for a long while, then sighed helplessly.

One day after they got together, Xu Cishu happened to find the guide.

1. Show him your strengths and charm.

2. Make physical contact, intentionally or otherwise.

3. If all else fails, cry in front of him to bring out his protective instincts...

He closed the notebook. "Is this how you pursued me?"

Le Ran's face turned red as she muttered, "I didn't have any experience, so I had to learn from a book..."

"Mm. Did you learn how to kiss, too?"

"Huh?"

He took off his rimless glasses, stood up, and leaned over her. "It's all right. I can teach you."
