"Learning and applying on the spot, huh!" Li Yan didn't mind and went to the other side, just separating where it started to get wet.

"Don't you have a tenth move? Stop with these little tricks, go straight to the point!" Li Jie lay down on the bed and asked sincerely.

Li Yan was initially trying to keep her from leaving, coaxing her to stay. Hearing her say this, he thought for a moment: "The key is to stay calm, to be fearless in any environment or situation! Use any environment, situation, directly to take down the enemy!"

When he said this, he was very serious and solemn, which made Li Jie feel a chill. Though the words themselves weren't particularly special, the way he said them gave off a cold vibe... making her instinctively turn to look at Li Yan.

Seeing her surprise, Li Yan snapped back, smiling slightly: "Was it too abstract?"

His smile immediately dispelled the cold aura, giving Li Jie a shock. Had she not been so calm at the moment, she might have thought she was imagining it. "Hmm, could you explain it in detail..."

"Detailed... hard to say. Using your earlier example as a metaphor! Say I'm a lecher with designs on you..."

Li Jie couldn't help but murmur, "Why use a metaphor? You already are..."

"...when I pull your bath towel apart, leaving you bare-chested. That's an unexpected, unacceptable environment or situation. Screaming and fleeing is a normal reaction, not a calm one."

Hearing Li Yan seriously discuss such a sleazy theory, Li Jie responded sulkily, "Should I open my arms, stick out my chest, and let you take a good look to be calm, to be right?"

"Exactly!"

"You—!"

"Not calm again." Li Yan laughed: "This is one of any environment or situation. First, you must stay calm; second, be fearless, even if you're completely seen!"

"Hmph!"

Hearing her sneer, Li Yan also sneered: "Is it funny? Would a real enemy wait for you to flee? Forget the enemy—even a pervert, would they just watch and laugh as you run and hide? Your panic at this moment leads not just to being seen but also to the risk of assault or even death!"

Li Jie disagreed, "So how do you want me to react?"

"After those two steps, you then take advantage of every environment and any sudden situation. Pretend to conceal, yet deliberately let me see it all—doing so will make me relax, or be stunned. In short, I'll be influenced more or less, giving you the chance to come up and kill me!"

Li Jie slightly opened her mouth, finding his counterintuitive method difficult to accept, especially since his scenario ended with her killing him—it seemed a bit much.

"It's just a hypothetical situation. In any other situation, you can remain calm, unafraid, and then use everything you can to kill the enemy, increasing your chances of survival!"

Listening to his slightly stern words, Li Jie seriously tried to remember but was so much more intrigued by him. "You..."

"Me what? Remembered it?" Li Yan changed the channel randomly with the remote.

"I remembered it; I just want to ask... what exactly do you do? Why does it sound so reasonable when you say it?"

Li Jie had wanted to ask this for a long time. She didn't believe that Li Yan was just an ordinary clerk. Even if she had asked before, he surely wouldn't have answered. Now she took the opportunity to ask and specifically added a 'sounds reasonable' compliment, hoping he'd feel good enough to tell her.

Li Yan was slick, never missing a beat when teasing her, but he wasn't so easily fooled by her. He gave her a wide grin, showing his gleaming teeth: "You said I won, and you should call me brother, but you never did once call me that, instead saying pervert, despicable, and such..."

How could Li Jie not know he was doing this on purpose? Internally cursing him as despicable, she also understood that opportunities like this were rare, and she might not get the same chance to hear him speak the truth in the future.

Helplessly, she had to overcome her own mindset and called out, "Brother..." adding mentally: -zilla... this bro-zilla!

"Good girl! I'll treat you to dinner tonight," Li Yan replied with a satisfied grin and then hospitably offered, "Here's the remote; watch whatever you like, don't be shy with me, bro!"

Seeing him not mention the previous topic or answer her question, Li Jie realized she'd been tricked into calling him brother, fuming with anger, she grabbed the remote in frustration, constantly changing the channels.

Finally, she found something good!

Li Jie stopped and watched, engrossed. It was on Jingnan Platform, likely during a low viewership slot when only the elderly would watch TV, so they aired Jingnan's treasure—"My Fair Princess."

Many years ago, this show caused a sensational whirlwind, achieving tremendous success, and was the pioneer and successful model for Jingnan's original productions. This in itself wasn't criticized, the problem was... Jingnan seemed unwilling to let go of its residual value! Rebroadcasts in winter and summer breaks were inevitable; not re-airing it three or four times a year seemed like a disservice to viewers and Sister Qiong Yao alike.
