Wang Xiaole longs to be "identified."

He doesn't wish to spend his whole life in the Knight's Order, nor does he want to change the relationship between himself and Ye Chuxue;

for the present moment, he just wants to be friends with her, preferably just ordinary friends.

With a tinge of hope, he watched Flora's figure leave from here.

After returning to the woman's room for who-knows-how-many times, Flora repeated Wang Xiaole's words word for word;

she didn't make any changes because she felt it was unnecessary.

Ye Chuxue then gave her response:

"Yes, that's right."

Even without recalling his previous words, Ye Chuxue could confidently affirm the impeccable nature of this answer.

However, when Flora returned to Wang Xiaole, the sentence had changed to:

"Yes, that's right... I don’t know since when, sister has truly fallen for you!"

The first five words were true, the rest was fabricated;

at that moment, Flora's talent had fully blossomed.

After his hopes were completely shattered, Wang Xiaole fell into a dazed state for a while.

Even when Flora desperately called out to him upon regaining consciousness, he still seemed somewhat disoriented.

"What was I going to say just now... you're a good person? No! Actually, I'm a terrible person? No, that's not it!"

He felt his whole brain trembling, and even though he knew he shouldn't keep Flora waiting, deep down he was still trying to console himself:

This confession from Xiao Ye shouldn't have that meaning!

Without self-hypnosis, life would be unbearable.

In order to prevent a mental breakdown, his brain automatically began working. After sifting through past information in his mind, he finally found an answer he could accept:

Sarcasm, Xiao Ye must be speaking sarcastically!

Hasn't a famous person said something similar before?

Whatever a girl says, a boy must interpret it in the opposite way; "no" means "yes," "hate" means "love."

For his personal needs, Wang Xiaole temporarily treated this statement as truth and completed a mental conversion:

"Love" in reverse equals "hate," "stay by your side" means "keep your distance."

Following this logic, Ye Chuxue's message should be as follows:

Except in the case of dating, in the future, Xiaojun should not get too close to sister!

At some point, sister truly started to dislike you!

"Yes, that's right, Xiao Ye's sincere words, my analysis is definitely correct..."

After soothing his anxious heart in a low voice, Wang Xiaole, in accordance with Ye Chuxue's dialogical logic, had Flora convey a sentence.

It's important to note that Flora didn't add even half a word of falsehood this time, Wang Xiaole's original words were indeed as follows:

"So that's how it is... Then let me also tell the truth, in fact, I also like Xiao Ye!"

Just by changing "like" to "dislike," the meaning of this sentence would be completely different.

However, it is crucial to consider:

The "dislike" indirectly expressed by Wang Xiaole was not genuine;

he only said this to assure the woman that he never had such feelings for her, deliberately phrasing it that way to put her mind at ease.

In the moment of being "confessed" to, Ye Chuxue accidentally let the makeup bottle slip from her hand, showing that even such a simple gesture as grasping was difficult for her.

"Like? W-why are you saying this all of a sudden?"

Ye Chuxue was pure in her emotions, never once doubting the sincerity of the confession.

Dating was fine, after all, even ordinary friends can go out on dates, but confessing changes the dynamics significantly.

Being unexpectedly confessed to by someone of the opposite sex triggered a nervousness like no other; the best indirect proof of this was her speech, which regressed to a level below that of a ten-year-old in an instant.

"Is it too fast? We only just had our first date, sister doesn't really know Xiao Jun well..."

After twisting her fingers for half a day, Ye Chuxue stopped mumbling and instead, with a voice that was neither loud nor soft, told Flora her response to the man:

"Sister wants to keep an open mind for now, after spending more time together, sister will give Xiao Jun a clear answer."

This response satisfied Ye Chuxue, but unfortunately not Flora;

which led to Wang Xiaole hearing the following altered version of the response:

"That's great, it turns out our thoughts are the same."

After receiving this response, Wang Xiaole became even more convinced of the correctness of his "sarcastic interpretation" and immediately felt more at ease.

"So our situation is settled now, from now on, I hope Xiao Ye can continue to remain in the same mood as tonight."

This was the last sentence Wang Xiaole informed Flora of before the date.

But the final sentence Ye Chuxue heard was completely different from the initial version:

"I hope Xiao Ye can give a reply soon, otherwise I can't guarantee that my feelings won't change in the future."

The end!

At least, Flora's mission was done.

Running back and forth between two rooms, deceiving this person and that, she was exhausted from this divine operation.

Her efforts were not in vain.

In fact, starting from tonight, the young boy and girl had each changed the way they interacted with each other.

Wang Xiaole lowered his emotional intelligence, deciding that from now on, when talking to "Xiao Ye," he would speak before thinking;

he did this in order to avoid increasing his favorability in her eyes;

Ye Chuxue, being confessed to for the first time, lacking experience, recalled her sister's advice:

"You've got to know, men are creatures who easily grow conceited;

the nicer they are to you, the more you shouldn't get too close to them. Instead, show a disinterested attitude to ensure you hold the upper hand in the relationship!"

Does this advice make sense?

Let's put it like this:

Ye Chuxue's senior by three years, Yexiyun, is still single to this day...

One daring sister and one believing sister.

Once both sides were ready, the date tonight officially began!

The night in the border town was as lively as ever, the blood of the soldiers could never elevate the temperature within the general populace;

even though the homeland was occupied by enemy troops, the way people lived here remained the same as before.

The streets were still bustling tonight, shrouded in darkness above people's heads, appearing no different than any other night.

Even with changes, they had nothing to do with the indigenous people living here;

even with two more figures on the street, it was difficult for passersby to notice, and this night they anticipated couldn't be changed in the slightest because of them.

Trying to blend in with the crowd, Ye Chuxue and Wang Xiaole subdued their presence, walking unobtrusively down the street.

Despite having ample time to prepare, Wang Xiaole still wore the same clothes as during the day, which was in line with his consistent character.

You could say:

Apart from specific occasions requiring specific attire, his clothing choices were usually the same, whether going out or staying at home.

In contrast, Ye Chuxue seemed more meticulous.

While indoors, she tended to wear revealing clothes, with parts like her belly frequently exposed to the air and the fabric thin enough to give a cool sensation;

not to mention, she had a habit of painting her nails and wearing metal earrings;

from the perspective of conservative individuals, Ye Chuxue's attire resembled a typical rebellious girl.

It was different when she went out.

At those times, she would add an outer layer to her clothing, wrapping herself tightly;

even in summer, she could exude an autumn feeling.

As the clothing added unnecessary thickness, Ye Chuxue appeared slightly plumper than in the former state;

especially with her chest accentuated by the thick fabric, it appeared much more formidable, enhancing the visual impact significantly.

However, Wang Xiaole's focus on these obvious changes was clearly misplaced;

in a moment of looking down, he was solely fixated on that metal item.

After staring like a love-struck fool for a while, he finally spoke:

"Why do you always leave the mask on?"

Nothing else, just asking.

"Just treat the mask as sister's true self in front of Xiaojun."

After dropping this line, one of the date participants continued forward alone for a few steps.

Since the other party didn't want to respond, the conversation didn't need to continue.

All in all, Wang Xiaole was quite tactful in this regard, not pressing further against the other's wishes;

in action, he followed the girl's not-so-distant figure, moving to stand beside her.

As the two walked a certain distance, various couples passed by, but their reactions remained unchanged, showing no sign of being on a date.

At first glance, the two seemed to have no self-awareness of dating, but the reality was quite the opposite.

At that moment, Wang Xiaole thought:

Is this okay now?

I haven't purposely gotten closer to you or been overly clingy during the date. You shouldn't have any complaints about how I've behaved, right?

Meanwhile, Ye Chuxue found it hard to understand:

We just confessed not long ago, so why isn't Xiaojun taking the initiative?

Could it be that he wants sister to make the first move? Is he trying to see sister's anxious side?

The situation changed about ten minutes later, with the date turning into a simple stroll. They stopped on the same street and each took note of a different destination.

A jewelry store and a tavern – the two revealed their differing preferences at that moment.

Ye Chuxue wanted to enter the place she liked and hoped the other person would also come to like it.

To guide the other person at her own pace, Ye Chuxue played a little trick, saying in a rather loud voice:

"Sister will go into the shop to take a look, will Xiaojun stop me?"

The term "stop me" needed to be emphasized for detailed analysis.

Is the girl hoping the boy will stop her, or does she not want the other person to follow?

For those who think it's the latter, please review the basics of "Love School" for another year.

To experts, this was an easy question, and the correct solutions are as follows:

1 (Gentle type)

The man suddenly attacked from behind, swiftly and with just the right amount of force, embraced the woman.

In the instant his arms crossed, the man controlled his head to move down and put his warm, breathy lips next to the woman's ear, softly telling her:

"A date without you is not the kind of date I want; don't leave, don't go away from me!"

2. (Tsundere type)

"Hmph, go if you want, I'm quite happy wandering the streets alone."

While emphasizing this, the man leaves the woman's line of sight.

At this moment, the woman can play along, stepping lightly into a shop, then choosing a seat near the window to observe outside.

Usually in less than five minutes, the man will return at a faster pace than when he left, standing opposite the shop with a face full of grievances.

To give him some face, the woman can come out with a bored expression after three or four minutes.

Next, the man's performance is crucial.

Men who push their personalities to the extreme in this way will usually react like this:

"Hmph, if I didn't think you might be bored, feeling pitiful for being alone, I wouldn't waste time waiting for you!"

What touches the woman's heart the most is the insincere words and the tip-toeing action the man might unconsciously make while speaking.

3. (Overbearing CEO type)

Before the woman enters, the man blocks her path, lifts his arrogant face, and with a condescending attitude, coldly says:

"Woman, you have a lot of nerve to waste the precious time I give you; it seems I need to make you understand our positions."

Before the woman can react, the man strides forward forcefully, completing a series of actions with a chin lift, face lift, and deep kiss.

After the kiss, remember to gently bite the woman's lip;

After the bite, don't forget to embrace the woman in the most intimate pose, giving her the warmest hug.

See that? This is the correct way to solve the problem!

Now let's see how someone behaves in this date.

"I'll go in and look around, Xiaoye doesn't mind, right?"

Wang Xiaole raised his right hand slightly, pointing to the store behind him, indirectly indicating:

The place I want to go is different from where you like, if you don't mind, we can split up next.

A master, an absolute master!

Throughout history, there have been many who could solve scoring questions, and many who could solve life-and-death questions.

But until today, no one has used the method of solving a scoring question to solve a life-and-death question.
