I Am Passionate by Nature

My name is Lu Chen, and I am passionate by nature. Don't get me wrong, I'm not interested in a relationship. Feelings are liabilities, interests are assets. I help people chase girls, and I charge according to the difficulty. The social influence of the school beauty, the business resources of the wealthy daughter - I help them get out of trouble, and they give me what I need in return. Fair trade, no one owes anyone anything. Until she showed up. She is not my client, not my pawn, not anyone I can define with a label. She sat across from me and looked at me like she was looking at a math problem. She said my strategy was perfect, but it had a fatal flaw—I assumed that everyone was irrational and that I would be the only rational person. I'm not, and neither is she. I looked into her eyes, and for the first time I felt like I had met someone beyond calculation. This game of chess seems to be getting interesting.
