"I don't care, you have to practice calligraphy diligently!"
Shen Mushi was anxious.
Wang Yue could hear the unusual agitation in Shen Mushi's voice.
This aloof girl, she could actually get flustered?
Wang Yue suddenly felt like teasing Shen Mushi.
"Then what should I do? I don't have the mood to practice lately."
Wang Yue sighed and said.
"What's wrong with you?"
Shen Mushi had indeed taken the bait.
A grin spread across Wang Yue's lips, and he said, "I'm lovesick lately, feeling a bit down."
"..."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, then Shen Mushi said, "Fleeting romance is the most useless. Wake up, you are a man destined to become a master."
"Alas, what is love in this world, that it makes life and death inseparable? That's all for today, I need to open E."
Wang Yue sighed.
Although Shen Mushi didn't understand what "opening E" meant, she could still discern the hint of disappointment in Wang Yue's words.
Little did she know that Wang Yue possessed the acting skills of a film emperor!
She had truly been fooled.
What could be done?
How could this young man, who had the greatest potential to become a master, be delayed in his practice because of love?
Shen Mushi's mind raced, thinking of ways to reignite Wang Yue's fighting spirit.
After thinking for a long time, she couldn't come up with a solution.
So, she called Xu Tiantian.
"Tiantian, what are you doing?"
Music came from the other end of the phone.
Xu Tiantian said, "Shishi, why are you calling me proactively today? I'm just listening to music."
"I have something to ask your advice on."
Shen Mushi said.
"What could possibly trouble you?"
Xu Tiantian chuckled.
"Suppose a boy seems to have broken up with someone, how can we help him get back on his feet?"
"A boy?! Broken up?!"
Xu Tiantian shrieked, "Shishi, could it be that you're in a relationship? Or have you fallen for a boy and want to take advantage of the situation?"
"Stop causing trouble."
Shen Mushi said grumpily, "Quick, give me some advice. I just want him to cheer up, that's all."
"Shishi, then you've come to the right person. The best way to help a boy forget a failed relationship is to start a new one!"
Xu Tiantian said with a tone of experience.
"A new relationship?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Mushi became quite troubled.
If Wang Yue were to start a new relationship, whom should she introduce to him?
Besides, Wang Yue might not even like the person she introduced.
For a young man of Wang Yue's caliber, there must be countless women flocking around him.
Yet, even with so many girls around him, he was still heartbroken. This indicated he was likely a deeply devoted person.
"Shishi, do you like this boy? Otherwise, why would you care so much? In my opinion, the best way is for you to step in."
At this moment, Xu Tiantian's voice came from the other end of the phone again.
"Ah? Why?"
Shen Mushi instinctively asked.
"Think about it, this boy confided in you about his breakup, so he must see you as a very good confidant. And you are so beautiful and outstanding. If you told him you liked him at this moment, he would surely forget his ex instantly."
Xu Tiantian said.
"Is it really feasible?"
Shen Mushi hesitated.
She was completely clueless about relationships, and had barely watched any idol dramas.
"Of course, it's feasible. Shishi, trust me, I'm a love expert!"
Xu Tiantian said.
"Tiantian, how many boyfriends have you had?"
Shen Mushi asked.
"Me? None."
Xu Tiantian replied matter-of-factly.
"Then why are you so sure?"
Shen Mushi said grumpily.
"Even if I haven't eaten pork, haven't I seen pigs run? It's all like this in the TV shows I watch. Just believe me."
Unlike Shen Mushi, Xu Tiantian was an idol drama aficionado, feeling uncomfortable if she didn't watch one every day.
"Alright."
Shen Mushi hung up the phone.
After a long hesitation, she gritted her teeth and called Wang Yue again.
"Hello? Why are you calling again? I told you, I need to heal."
Wang Yue's tone was one of despair.
"Wang Yue, let's date."
Shen Mushi said through gritted teeth.
"What?!"
Wang Yue's voice rose by eight octaves.
Was this girl alright? It had only been a few minutes, and she was already suggesting they date?
Could it be that Shen Mushi had a crush on him?
But considering they had only met once, Wang Yue found it unlikely.
"Did you lose a game of truth or dare?"
Wang Yue asked cautiously.
"No, I heard from someone that the best way to overcome the shadow of a breakup is to start a new relationship."
Shen Mushi said.
"And then?"
Wang Yue was starting to find this girl's train of thought confusing.
"Then if I date you, you won't be sad anymore, right? If you're not sad, you can focus on practicing calligraphy, and maybe you'll become a calligraphy master soon."
Shen Mushi said indifferently.
"..."
Wang Yue really wanted to say something.
Who taught you this?
Truly, a daring teacher and a daring student.
Dating Shen Mushi?
Wang Yue wouldn't even dare to dream of such a thing.
Now, Shen Mushi was actively proposing to date him?
It felt too surreal to even speak about it.
"In short, Wang Yue, let's date."
Shen Mushi said again.
"Well... Shen Mushi, I want to ask you something, do you know what dating entails?"
Wang Yue asked.
"Dating?"
Shen Mushi said as a matter of course, "Isn't dating just being together?"
"And after being together?"
"After being together, it's called dating."
Wang Yue suddenly felt that what Shen Mushi said made so much sense that he was left speechless.
However, he still said, "You're wrong. After being together, two people should also hold hands, embrace, and even kiss. Can you accept that?"
Upon hearing Wang Yue's words, Shen Mushi's mind went blank, and then two rosy blushes bloomed on her cheeks.
"Dating... dating requires doing these things?"
Shen Mushi even stammered a little.
"Yes, didn't you know?"
Wang Yue suddenly felt that this girl Shen Mushi was endearingly naive.
"Then I'll consider it."
Shen Mushi directly hung up the phone.
Listening to the dial tone, Wang Yue chuckled.
Little one, you've been scared, haven't you?
Shen Mushi called Xu Tiantian again. "Tiantian, does dating mean kissing, hugging, and holding hands?"
Xu Tiantian quickly replied, "Yes, yes, and when you're dating, you should kiss anytime, anywhere. That way, others will be envious. It's always like that in TV dramas."
"Click."
Shen Mushi hung up the phone.
On the other end, Xu Tiantian was bewildered.
Meanwhile, Shen Mushi clutched her phone tightly, her expression a picture of extreme indecision.
Her face flushed and paled in turns, making her look incredibly beautiful.
Time flew by, and it was already ten-thirty at night.
Wang Yue yawned, ready to go to sleep.
But just then, Shen Mushi's call suddenly came again.
Wang Yue answered the phone, and before he could say anything.
Shen Mushi's voice, a mix of embarrassment and annoyance, came through, "I can accept it!"
