Spend Money on Goddess, Use more! Gain more!

He had not expected Sun Yi to be moved by him so soon!

But then he thought about it and found it perfectly reasonable.

After all, whether a girl likes a guy or not often depends on her first impression and feelings when they meet.

If there's no spark at first sight, even dislike, then it's highly likely she'll never fancy him.

And if there is a spark at first sight, then it's natural for the heart to flutter.

In the system's settings, every full 10 points of favorability represents a stage.

50 points mean likeable, 60 points mean infatuated, 70 points mean fancy, 80 points mean in love, and 90 points mean deeply in love.

Now that Sun Yi was infatuated with him, love was not far off.

However, to obtain attribute points rewards and cash back from conquering her, mere fancying was insufficient; he must reach the levels of in love and deeply in love.

Lying back in bed, Wu Wei felt delighted and quickly fell into slumber.

On the other hand, Sun Yi, with her mind preoccupied, tossed and turned in bed, finding sleep elusive.

Not until around two or three o'clock in the morning did she manage to doze off.

The next morning at eight-thirty, Wu Wei was woken by the alarm and leisurely got ready, then went to the hotel restaurant for breakfast.

While eating, he opened WeChat and replied to Sun Yi's message from last night.

There were only two brief sentences:

[I went to bed after showering last night]

[I didn't place it wrong]

Sun Yi had inexplicably woken up on her own at seven in the morning.

The first thing she did upon waking was to check her phone for any reply from Wu Wei.

Seeing there was no response, she turned off the phone screen, trying to go back to sleep, yet she couldn't fall asleep again.

She simply got up, started her morning routine, and got dressed.

By the time she had finished putting on her makeup, it was already past nine, and Wu Wei still hadn't replied to her message.

"He can really sleep!"

Sun Yi looked at the time and complained with a pout.

They had agreed to meet at ten, and it was past nine, yet he still hadn't even woken up!

However, just after her complaint, her phone vibrated twice in quick succession.

Sun Yi hurriedly picked up her phone, excited to see the messages from Wu Wei.

She couldn't wait to check them.

Her gaze instantly locked onto the second message.

[I didn't place it wrong]

Seeing these four words, a wave of excitement surged through Sun Yi, and a smile immediately blossomed on her face.

Since there was no mistake, then the gift must have been for her!

This meant that the girl he had fancied all along was herself!

But how should she respond to him?

Sun Yi's expression became conflicted.

After pondering for quite a while, she typed:

[What do you mean you didn't place it wrong?]

[Wasn't it meant for the girl you fancy?]

After sending this message, Sun Yi's heart throbbed nervously as if it was about to leap out of her throat.

Seeing Sun Yi's message, Wu Wei couldn't help but smile.

She was clearly playing dumb with him.

If that was the case, then he would also play dumb with her.

Although it was already quite obvious, he definitely wouldn't be the one to pierce through this thin layer of pretense right now.

Wu Wei replied to the two questions in order:

[That's the meaning, yes]

[Yes, it's for her]

Looking at Wu Wei's response, Sun Yi's heart beat even more fiercely.

She really wanted to type: So, you fancy me?

But being shy, she didn't dare to ask so directly, so she continued to feign ignorance:

[Then why did you put it in my bag?]

If it was before, upon seeing this message, Wu Wei would definitely reply: Because the one I fancy is you!

But now, that's not the case!

Unless Sun Yi's fondness for him reached 70 or even over 80, or she took the initiative to confess her feelings to him, he wouldn't possibly tell her that he liked her.

When pursuing a girl, the key is inconsistency between words and actions!

If you verbally express your liking for her, then you must not show it through your actions, and you definitely shouldn't pursue her.

You have to be hot and cold, leaving her guessing.

Then she won't be able to help wondering whether you really like her or want to pursue her, and eventually, she'll lose patience and ask you.

That way, the initiative is in your hands.

However, if your actual behavior is pursuing a girl, which is exactly what Wu Wei is doing now, he must spend money on Sun Yi, which is undoubtedly seen as a pursuing gesture by girls.

Then you absolutely must not say that you like her.

All sorts of insinuations are fine, but never those few words!

Otherwise, once you position yourself as a pursuer, the girl will become alert and subconsciously start to scrutinize you from a superior position.

Any minor flaw or shortcoming of yours will be magnified through her lens, making successful pursuit naturally difficult.

But if you don't acknowledge that you're pursuing her, she will remember more of your merits and the good things you've done for her.

That way, she is more likely to develop a fondness for you.

So even if Sun Yi were to ask him to his face, "Do you like me," or "Are you trying to pursue me?"

He would definitely not admit it.

Thus Wu Wei countered with, "Why did you not know it was in your bag?"

Sun Yi retorted as well, "How would I know what you were thinking?"

Of course, Wu Wei wouldn't explain, "How could you not know this, and you call yourself a Ph.D.!"

…

The two of them tugged at each other, with neither mentioning whether he liked her.

Even though both of them were very much aware of it.

Unconsciously, Sun Yi's face was filled with a smile, her cheeks already flush with red.

This ambiguous tussle was really getting to her head.

And the corners of Wu Wei's mouth were smiling more uncontrollably than an AK.

The two of them banter back and forth, enjoying themselves immensely.

Wu Wei walked from the hotel all the way to the entrance of Qilu University.

He texted, "I'm at the entrance of your university now."

Sun Yi immediately replied, "I've booked it for you, you can just come in, I'll be right there."

Wu Wei: "OK."

Wu Wei passed through the gate and into the campus, and after a while, he saw Sun Yi riding a small electric scooter, slowly approaching him.

Today, Sun Yi wore a pure white mesh sling dress paired with a short apricot-colored silk cardigan, looking fresh and sweet.

"How come you're riding an electric scooter now?"

Wu Wei said to Sun Yi with a smile.

"The dormitory is a bit far."

Just moments ago, they were chatting hotly on WeChat, but now that they've met, Sun Yi felt somewhat embarrassed, barely daring to look at Wu Wei, "And today, since I'm showing you around the university, walking would be too tiring."

As she spoke, Sun Yi parked the electric scooter, took out the necklace box from her bag, handed it to Wu Wei, and said, "Here, your necklace, for you."

"What for?"

Wu Wei stared at Sun Yi, "I already said it's for you."

"I know."

Sun Yi said, lifting her head to meet Wu Wei's gaze, her tone resolute, "But I can't take this necklace; it's too precious."

"A gift I've given away can't be taken back."

Wu Wei looked into Sun Yi's eyes, "And you said yesterday that you would accept my gift."

"I didn't say..."

Sun Yi began to speak, then suddenly remembered she indeed had said so.

But back then, she thought the necklace was meant for someone else, and that's why she said it.

"That's different!"

Sun Yi stubbornly pursed her lips, "In any case, I can't take it."

Wu Wei had anticipated this reaction, smiled faintly, and said, "If you really don't want it, just throw it away."

Wu Wei looked around and noticed a trash bin not far away, pointed at it, "There's a trash bin over there; I'll help you throw it away!"

So saying, he took the necklace and strode toward the bin.
