Dragon Clan: They're all insane, and you still want me to slay dragons?

Page 52

The three boys were completely baffled, not understanding why Xia Mi was reacting so strongly; it was just an ordinary tourist attraction.

Xia Mi covered her face: "The movie theater, the aquarium, and the Ferris wheel are the three legendary dating spots."

"Is there still such a thing?"

Gao Kui was shocked: "What kind of argument is this? You didn't just read some random stuff from marketing accounts and now you're trying to show off to us, did you?"

Although she didn't understand what a marketing account was, Xia Mi could roughly figure out what it was just from the word "marketing".

"No, that's not true. The three most popular dating spots are all based on scientific evidence."

The girl with flaxen hair pouted angrily as she counted on her fingers, explaining to Gao Kui why the three major dating spots were the three major dating spots.

"First, there's the movie theater. The theater is very dark, and girls naturally develop a sense of dependence on boys. This is scientifically known as the suspension bridge effect."

A movie is a full two hours long, giving the boy ample time to get closer to the girl. If it's a horror movie, the boy can even naturally take the girl's hand.

"I see!" Fingel's eyes widened; he had truly learned something.

"Ha, I thought you had some unique insights, but it turns out to be just the same old clichés."

Gao Kui, whose IQ suddenly seemed to be online, sneered repeatedly, pointing out the shortcomings of Xia Mi's argument: "At first glance, the movie theater does seem like an excellent place for a date, but upon closer inspection, you will find that the movie theater is a pure trap."

First of all, for the sake of others' viewing experience, movie theaters need to be quiet, even for horror movies. If you whisper or shout at inappropriate times, you will inevitably be cursed at by other viewers.

Unless the entire theater is booked out, it is difficult for both men and women to have an effective and in-depth conversation during a two-hour screening.

The real alternative to cinemas is suspension bridges or glass walkways, preferably glass walkways where the glass cracks when you step on it, making them actually very safe. Only such locations can maximize the suspension bridge effect.

While ensuring safety, it can bring the most thrilling and exciting mental experience. Even timid girls will feel their legs go weak when they step on it, and they might even get stuck on you.

Most importantly, because it's an open tourist attraction, it doesn't matter how loudly they shout. A walk across the glass bridge allows the couple to smoothly break the ice.

Wow, that's so professional!

Xia Mi's eyes widened, Fingel turned to look at Gao Kui, Chen Motong also gave a thumbs up, leaving only Chu Zihang expressionless.

"Brother Ai, you understand so well!"

Xia Mi exclaimed, "Now that you mention it, I realize that movie theaters really aren't the best place for a date; they're practically a trap."

"Weak interaction is the original sin. Going to a coffee shop to chat, or to a murder mystery game, escape room, or board game arcade is much better than going to the movies. Of course, if you go to a board game arcade, be careful not to play Yu-Gi-Oh!..."

Gao Kui spoke eloquently and fluently, explaining a whole bunch of things that the people of the Pearl Tears, the Serpent Eyes, and the Demonic Carving were completely incomprehensible to him. Then he turned back to the main topic and began to educate Xia Mi.

"Movie theaters are a date trap, but aquariums and Ferris wheels are pretty good date spots, but that's about it."

Don't say things like girls like loving boys, or that underwater tunnels create a sense of mystery where only the two of you are left in the world, or that Ferris wheels can create a private space for solitude—those are all just empty words.

What matters is the person you go on the trip with, not the place. What's the point of creating alone time if the person you ride a Ferris wheel with doesn't like you at all?

It only makes sense for a boy and a girl who both like each other, or at least don't dislike each other, to go to the aquarium and Ferris wheel together.

"okokokok……"

Xia Mi listened attentively to the master's teachings on the bible of love, nodding repeatedly and gesturing with her hands as if she were taking notes.

"So, how do you define a girl or boy who has a good impression of you, or at least doesn't dislike you?" Xia Mi asked, raising her hand after finishing her notes.

"See if he's willing to take the initiative to communicate and interact with you."

Gao Kui replied without hesitation: "Likes and dislikes can't be hidden. If someone doesn't like you, unless they are a politician, a gigolo, an actor, or an idol who needs to use their image to promote themselves, they are very likely not to take the initiative to interact with you, not even to say a word."

For example, when Gao Kui thought of Chen Motong, Fingel and Chu Zihang in the front row immediately thought of Chen Motong. Gao Kui's dislike for Nuonuo was almost written on his face.

"I see, I've learned something new." Chen Motong, sitting in the back row, maintained her smile, her hands on her knees unconsciously clenching the hem of her clothes.

Not only did Fingel and Chu Zihang think of Chen Motong, but Xia Mi did too. They all see each other all the time, and now they're even in the same car, so Gao Kui's sudden mention of this felt like a direct reference to Chen Motong.

Realizing that Gao Kui's words might make Chen Motong a little embarrassed, Xia Mi quickly changed the subject: "Brother Ai, what you said makes so much sense. You must be a seasoned veteran who has dated many girls."

Um! ?

Is there more gossip?

Chu Zihang, in the co-pilot's seat, keenly sensed that the real drama might be about to unfold. He remained outwardly calm but secretly perked up his ears.

"Of course, with my model here, I'm sure I have no shortage of girls chasing after me. I don't really remember the aquarium, but as for the Ferris wheel, I've probably ridden alone with about ten girls, and I've confirmed a relationship with every single one of them."

Love guru Gao Kui struts around, proudly showing off his dating experiences.

"so much?"

Xia Mi was taken aback, and Chu Zihang was also taken aback. How come I didn't know you had been in so many relationships?

Starting from the third year of junior high school, Gao Kui repeatedly switched between mental hospitals and schools, and after that, girls generally kept their distance from him.

If we're really talking about dating, it could only have been a few years before he was diagnosed with mental illness. Chu Zihang really doubted the authenticity of Gao Kui's dating history. Putting aside the astonishing number of dating more than ten people in two years, you started dating way too early.

Gao Kui slightly raised his chin and looked out the window, striking a somewhat hesitant pose to present Xia Mi with his most perfect 45° profile, and spoke of the past with a sigh in his eyes.

"I forget exactly when we talked about it, but it was something from the past. I didn't want to say much about it, but if I don't, it will seem like I'm just talking nonsense."

I can't reveal too much about the women's personal information to avoid causing them any trouble in their current lives. I'll just mention a few names: Takemi Tae, Niijima Makoto, Takamaki Ann, Okumura Haru, Mifune Chihaya...

Some of them are doctors, some are student council presidents, some are part-time models, some are fortune tellers, and some are heiresses from large corporations.

Ah, you're asking me how I came to have any interaction with them?

This brings me to my identity. Back then, my name was Ren Amamiya. On the surface, I was a handsome Japanese high school boy, 175 cm tall, with curly black hair and glasses. But in reality, I was Joker, the leader of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts. They were all my members or assistants.

They attend classes normally during the day, and after school, they form groups to explore the villains' mental world, which is the palace, to find out the infiltration route. After confirming the route, they send them a warning letter and then steal the secret treasure made of twisted desires in their mental world.

When there are no palaces to farm, go to the Space of Mementos and use my good brother Ryuji Sakamoto's Co-op 7 ability to create Shadow Money by riding the cat cart..."

Gao Kui spoke eloquently and fluently, recounting his experiences as the leader of a phantom thief gang in Tokyo, Japan.

He goes to school during the day and works as a phantom thief at night. He even has background music while scaling walls and rooftops. At the same time, he can also transform into a love expert and date ten female assistants. In short, he's incredibly cool...

Even though Xia Mi and Finger knew Gao Kui was "talking nonsense," they still exclaimed in admiration, perfectly playing the role of the atmosphere-setter.

Chu Zihang was quite disappointed. Although the story was good, it was ultimately not gossip.

Sitting in the last row, Chen Motong maintained her smile, occasionally interjecting a few words. She seemed to have perfectly blended into the harmonious atmosphere, but in her heart, she was still resentful that Xia Mi had helped her out of the predicament. Her fist, which was clenched tightly at the corner of her clothes, never loosened.

When Gao Kui inadvertently brought her up, Xia Mi quickly changed the subject.

It seems that Gao Kui really dislikes her.

It seemed like she was very concerned about whether Gao Kui particularly disliked her.

It was as if Xia Mi cared wholeheartedly about her feelings and felt that she could never become a "threatening rival" to Xia Mi.

Chapter 77 I Have No Reason to Like You

A dozen minutes later, the nanny van arrived outside Zuohai Park.

Chu Zihang led the group to the vicinity of the aquarium "Zuo Hai".

The most famous attraction in Zuohai Park is this aquarium. The ship-shaped building, painted in Doraemon colors, sits on the water's edge, and behind the aquarium is a Ferris wheel tens of meters high.

Because it was still during the college entrance examination period, there were hardly any people coming and going in the park. It was extremely quiet, even quieter than a calm lake.

"The people who built this park are quite knowledgeable. The Ferris wheel is right next to the aquarium, making it a double experience for a date."

Xia Mi raised her head and looked up at the quiet Ferris wheel, which seemed to be baring its teeth.

“Not surprising, this is the best view in the park, so the most popular rides will definitely be located here.” Gao Kui looked around.

This is indeed a great place for a date.

"Hey, you guys didn't even say you'd wait for me."

Fingel, who had parked his car, jogged over, carrying a dozen or so skewers of grilled squid and gluten, his mouth dripping with oil as he ate: "Let's discuss what we should do first."

Whether you choose to visit the aquarium or ride the Ferris wheel, I highly recommend visiting the aquarium first! I just checked the aquarium's information, and today they have a seal show and a mermaid show.

Fingel gave a knowing look.

"Grilled gluten!"

Xia Mi's eyes lit up the moment she saw the skewers in Fingel's hand. Her delicate nose twitched slightly, and she snatched a few skewers from Fingel's hand: "Why did you only buy a few skewers?"

"Five people and only a dozen skewers? If others see this, they'll think we can't afford it. Who can eat that much? Bring ten more skewers, ten for each of us!"

A skewer of grilled gluten costing one yuan was eaten by Xia Mi with the flair of caviar.

“I thought none of you ate it,” Fingel argued, spitting out a skewer.

How do you know we won't eat if you don't ask?

Chen Motong snatched the other strings from Finger, kept one for herself, and handed the rest to Gao Kui and Chu Zihang.

Gao Kui took a skewer of grilled gluten and noticed the key point Fingel had just made: "Senior brother, did you say that there are mermaid shows at the aquarium?"

Hey, I knew you'd noticed the key point.

Fingel winked and said, "Yes, I even went to check it out."

The actress playing the mermaid was young, beautiful, and had a great figure, and she was even wearing a bikini. What's even more interesting is that the staff said the mermaid performers at the Zuo Hai Aquarium don't wear fishtail decorations during their performances.

The mermaid's legs are much more beautiful than any fish tail.

Bikinis, mermaid shows, and so on.

Fingel thought the mermaid performance would be quite appealing to Gao Kui. While Xia Mi and Chen Motong were certainly beautiful, young, and energetic, bikinis held a different meaning.

The vice principal is quite old, yet he still serves as the lifeguard for every swimming class without fail.

When Gao Kui heard Fingel mention legs, he was slightly taken aback, and then he remembered the female taxi driver he had met more than half a month ago, who had long, straight legs and was also very pretty.

Mai Shude's legs really left a deep impression on him.

Seeing Gao Kui lose focus again, Fingel assumed that Gao Kui was smitten, but Chen Motong, unusually, guessed Gao Kui's thoughts correctly: he was probably thinking of the long-legged but immortal Jiu De Mai.

"Hey, hey, there are two girls here. Is it really okay to say this? Even if you really want to see, senior, at least be mindful of your manners," Chen Motong complained while chewing on a grilled gluten.

"Junior Brother and Junior Brother Chu should just mind their manners. What do I need to be careful about?"

Fingel shrugged, seemingly detached and disillusioned with the world: "Junior sister's love for senior brother is just an ancient form of telepathy. I've seen through it all. Nowadays, young girls all like pretty boys like junior brother, the kind of handsome Uchiha Sasuke."

"You're really annoying."

Gao Kui instantly got into character, rubbing his forehead with one hand and looking down at Xia Mi with disdain and impatience in his eyes. He deliberately strained his voice to sound like Sugiyama Noriaki's magnetic voice: "Do you want me to play a dating game with you?"

I have no reason to like you, nor any reason for you to like me.
