Chapter 060 "It's all about the strategy!"
"Mr. Smoke, how could you say that? No matter how busy I am, I would never ignore you!"
Mia replied instantly.
She even sent a shy emoji.
"Haha, am I really that important?"
"For Mia, Mr. Smoke will always come first!"
This flattery made Charles extremely happy.
Thinking about a top streamer with millions of fans lowering herself to please him, Charles suddenly felt life was so colorful!
A goddess in the hearts of countless nerds.
Now she's become my fan. This feeling is beyond amazing!
"Mia, you're really considerate. I can't wait to see you tomorrow. Tonight is gonna be a long night waiting to see you!" Charles replied.
"I also want to meet the mysterious Mr. Smoke soon, I'm very curious!"
"Mr. Smoke, are you sure you don't want to send me a photo?"
"It doesn't matter if you're not that good-looking. The most important thing in a man is not a handsome face, but his character!"
Mia sent three messages in a row.
She seemed very eager to see what Charles looked like.
The more Charles didn't let her know, the more she wanted to know.
However, she guessed that Mr. Smoke probably looked ordinary, maybe even a bit old, possibly a chubby middle-aged man.
After all, if he were handsome, how could his Facebook feed not have a single selfie?
"I don't usually like taking selfies, but you'll see me tomorrow!"
······
They chatted for two hours.
From hobbies, to favorite foods, favorite activities, favorite movies, favorite celebrities.
The latest TV show they've watched.
What kind of girls did he like? Cute, lively, pure, or quiet ones?
What kind of guys did she like? Mature and steady, sunny and sporty, or cultured and knowledgeable?
And so on and so forth...
After these two hours of chatting, Charles felt they had quite a lot in common.
Of course, it could also be that she was deliberately cooperating!
With anticipation for tomorrow's date, Charles drifted into dreamland!
Then in the middle of the night, it started raining heavily outside.
As if indicating tomorrow wouldn't be a good day.
Early the next morning, the sky was still grey.
The dark clouds hadn’t dispersed.
Although it stopped raining as hard as last night, going out would still be inconvenient!
Charles got up very early today.
He washed his face, brushed his teeth, washed his hair, changed his clothes and shoes, and went out!
Then took a cab to the mall!
Charles bought a stylish outfit, a pair of new shoes, and even got a haircut at the salon.
After all, he still had a bit of a nerdy mentality.
Meeting a beautiful top streamer for the first time.
It was inevitable to feel a bit nervous.
He subconsciously wanted to make himself look more handsome.
He wanted to tidy up nicely to avoid making a bad first impression.
This kind of subconscious autosuggestion was out of his control.
Just like how girls always like to put on makeup before going on a date.
And the less familiar the person they're meeting, the more they want to look perfect.
Men are the same!
After the hairstylist's work,
Charles looked at the elegant and handsome man in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction.
Recently, he had become more robust and muscular, making him appear more manly.
He wasn't ugly to begin with, just a bit skinny before, like an internet-addicted teenager.
But now he had the body of a model, eight-pack abs, and a V-line.
Previously, his hair was always messy.
Now it was professionally styled.
Previously, he wore only shorts and flip-flops.
Now he was dressed in trendy fashion brands!
He almost didn't recognize himself!
"So handsome!"
After getting all dressed up, it was already 10 AM.
The airport was quite far from downtown.
Taking a cab would take about an hour.
The timing was just right.
Because by the time she came out of the airport, it would be around 11:20.
Charles wouldn't want to go to the airport too early.
Even if he was ten minutes late, it didn't matter.
Of course, he wouldn't say that to her face.
Just as he got into the cab, Charles sent Mia a message.
[I'm already at the airport!]
Mia didn't reply.
Maybe there was no signal on the plane, or her phone was off!
But it didn't matter, when she received the message, it would still show it was sent at 10 o'clock!
After sending the message, Charles started chatting with Jessica and Pamela.
Maintaining daily contact was essential to keep the favorability level from dropping and to slowly build feelings.
Sometimes, haste makes waste!
And then all of a sudden.
Lisa sent him a message.
[Charles, please respond to me, if you don't, I'll kill myself!]
"Damn, Lisa, are you crazy?"
Charles was really afraid she'd actually commit suicide, so he quickly replied angrily.
In the girls' dormitory, Lisa was looking at her phone, looking excited.
"Rachel, Charles replied to me. This trick really works, it shows he still cares about me!"
Lisa said while typing another message.
[Charles, you finally replied. You were afraid something would happen to me, you still care about me, right?]
[No, I'm just afraid you'll drag me down! Don't overthink it!] Charles quickly explained.
[Don't deny it, I know you still care about me. Since you replied and didn't block me, it means I still have a chance to win you back. Charles, you spent three years proving you loved me, I'll also spend three years to prove I love you too!]
Charles looked at the message.
He wondered if he should just block Lisa on Facebook!
"Ding! System warning, the host cannot actively delete the contact information of a bound target, or 20 basic attribute points will be deducted!"
A system warning suddenly sounded in his mind.
Leaving Charles dumbfounded.
Damn, is there really such a ridiculous rule?
Once a target is bound, he couldn't even delete their contact information.
Charles thought about it carefully, and it seemed reasonable.
Otherwise, if you could bind and delete targets at will, it would be like severing the relationship youself, and the previous rewards would be nullified!
Understanding the cause and effect of this rule, Charles stopped fretting.
If he couldn’t delete it, then he wouldn’t, it was just one friend slot, he could tolerate it.
An hour later,
he finally arrived at the airport.
At the same time, Mia send a message!
[Sorry, Mr. Smoke, I just got off the plane. Have you been waiting long?]
[Not long, only about an hour!]
Charles replied.
Actually, he had just gotten out of the cab.
It's all a strategy!
Make the other person feel a bit guilty at the start.
This way, you can earn more goodwill later!
