Ten days later, at the entrance of the New Heaven and Earth Internet Cafe.

Lu Haoran looked around nervously. Every time they planned to go online, he would wait for Su Zelin to go in together. Even though he had been there several times, he still wasn't used to it. Alone in the internet cafe, he would feel at a loss.

After a while, his eyes lit up.

He saw Su Zelin approaching from a distance, riding a Phoenix single-bar bicycle.

As he arrived in front of him, the carefree guy hopped off the bike, and the honest fellow suddenly noticed something.

"Zelin, why are you wearing a school badge?"

"I passed by New Heaven and Earth yesterday and found a new girl internet cafe attendant there who is quite pretty!"

Su Zelin replied as he parked his bike.

Is there a connection between the two?

The honest fellow looked confused.

His buddy's logic was too jumpy for him to follow.

"Haoran, do you know what the easiest identity is to win a girl's favor?"

Su Zelin asked.

Lu Haoran shook his head.

"It's being a student!"

Su Zelin provided the answer, "Pretty girls always think students are naive and harmless, so wearing a high school badge (from School No. 2) while asking for her QQ would be twice as effective with half the effort!"

Lu Haoran wiped his brow.

So that's how it is, no wonder.

A small school badge can actually be used as a tool for flirting.

As expected of you, Zelin!

Su Zelin asked again, "Haoran, do you know who's even more likely than a student to win a girl's favor?"

Lu Haoran shook his head once more.

"It's a top-performing student, Haoran. Later, while registering the internet card, make sure to chat with me, like saying, 'Zelin, you actually got a full score in the college entrance exam English, that's amazing!'"

Lu Haoran: "..."

Worried that his honest friend might not perform well, they rehearsed several times at the internet cafe entrance before finally feeling confident enough to push the door open and enter.

At the front desk, there was indeed a new girl, in her early twenties and quite pretty, somewhat resembling the Hong Kong actress Zhu Yin.

"Hey there, Miss!"

Su Zelin immediately started chatting her up.

When trying to relate to an older girl, the best way to address her is "sister," as it creates an immediate sense of familiarity.

The girl looked up at him, finding a student-like handsome young man, confirmed by the school badge on his chest.

Though wearing a school badge during the summer break seemed odd, she didn't think much of it, assuming it was some school holiday activity.

So the girl smiled and said, "Hello!"

"Miss, are you the internet cafe attendant?"

Su Zelin asked again.

"Haha, since I'm working here, what else could I be if not the attendant?"

The girl found his question amusing.

"No, it's just that you look like a fairy, I was wondering how an internet cafe attendant could be so pretty!"

Su Zelin said shyly.

"Oh dear, you sure know how to talk!"

The girl was delighted, being complimented by such an innocent-looking handsome young man made her really happy.

Su Zelin's performance was so smooth that Lu Haoran instantly felt pressured, worried that he might mess things up.

"Ze, Ze, Zelin, you, you actually got a full score in the college entrance exam English, that's, that's amazing!"

In his nervousness, the little cutie's tongue almost tied itself. The rehearsals earlier proved ineffective.

Nevertheless, despite the poor delivery, the message was still clearly conveyed.

"Haoran, you really need to work on your stuttering problem!"

Su Zelin smoothly stepped in to save the situation.

He knew Lu Haoran might stumble at the critical moment, so he was prepared.

"Sorry, Miss, but my friend here tends to stutter around pretty girls, and the prettier they are, the worse his stutter gets!"

"I, I, I did not!"

The honest fellow's face turned red as he tried to argue, but his efforts were in vain.

The girl gave him a sympathetic look and then excitedly said, "Are you the city champion who got a perfect score in the English section of the college entrance exam?"

Jianglan is a small place; even a street dogfight can make the local newspaper. The perfect score in the English section of the college entrance exam was big news and already widely spread, almost everyone in town knew about it, and the cafe girl had heard about it too.

"I don't dare claim such a title; it's all thanks to my teacher's excellent guidance, plus I usually work hard and got lucky during the exam, which led to the perfect score!"

Su Zelin smiled slightly.

Lu Haoran felt speechless, thinking if he had just met Zelin today, he might have actually believed it.

"Getting a perfect score and being so humble, you must be an excellent student!"

The girl said admiringly.

"Not too bad, although there were times I couldn't get the three-good-student title!"

Su Zelin's words were flawless.

Indeed, there were times he didn't get the three-good-student title—every time.

While talking, they'd finished registering for the internet card, and this time, it was still Su Zelin treating.

Because of this perfect score reputation, he found it easy to ask for pocket money, so his wallet was quite full.

Plus, he had to show off in front of the girl; there was no way he'd let the honest fellow pay.

After receiving the internet card, Su Zelin said, "Miss, could you please get me one of each: Arctic Ocean, Big White Pear, and VVV Soy Milk?"

"Alright, give me a second!"

The girl turned to the fridge to get the drinks.

"Zelin, why are you getting soy milk?"

Lu Haoran asked in surprise.

Su Zelin never drank milk.

He had a strange logic—men who drank milk were all sissies, even soy milk, so he almost always opted for soda or cola. The fact that he was now suddenly ordering VVV Soy Milk was indeed perplexing, no wonder the honest fellow was so puzzled.

"It's not for me!"

Su Zelin smiled.

"Uh, did you invite someone else to join us?"

Lu Haoran didn't drink milk either, mainly influenced by Su Zelin, fearing that if he did, he'd be deemed a sissy in his buddy's eyes.
