Chapter 195: Chapter 195
"So that's how it is… but I've called you so many times..."
Masayo Aoshima covered the phone with both hands, and her smile didn't fade.
"I'm sorry, I was busy analyzing the case at that time… when I realized, it was already past two. I thought you'd be sleeping by then, so I didn't call you back to avoid disturbing you. I thought I could wait to talk about it later… but I didn't expect that, in the midst of everything, it would already be past six in the morning."
"I see… it seems being a detective isn't easy."
Any trace of misunderstanding completely disappeared!
Masayo Aoshima's mood went from being slightly down to completely clear, like a sky without clouds.
She smiled and said cheerfully, "By the way, I still haven't thanked you… last night, thank you for inviting me for a drink."
"What do you thank me for? You left halfway through the drink, it wasn't anything special… Do you have time tonight? How about I invite you for another drink?"
Hearing that Lin Yi invited her again, Masayo Aoshima's heart filled with joy. She thought for just a second and nodded, saying, "I have time tonight…"
However, recalling what happened the previous night, Masayo Aoshima began to think that the bar wasn't a good place for a date.
Lawyer Fei had appeared out of nowhere last night and interrupted her date. Would someone else appear tonight to interrupt their date again?
Thinking about this, Masayo Aoshima suddenly lost interest in the bar. She thought for a moment and said, "How about we do this instead? Come straight to my house, I'll prepare some food to go with the drinks."
"I don't mind, but don't you live with your sister? Won't it be awkward for her?"
"No, it's not like that." Masayo Aoshima glanced at Mina on the side and said, "My sister also wants to thank you for inviting her for a drink!"
"I see… if you don't mind, then I'll bring some bottles of wine. What time should I arrive?"
"Hmm… how about you come at seven? Just in time for dinner here. What do you think?"
Masayo felt a little nervous asking.
After all, inviting someone to dinner at her house was already an intimate act enough.
If it were a common friend, she wouldn't even think of inviting them to dinner; it wouldn't even be something she'd consider carefully before letting them into her house.
"Where are you going for dinner...? Let me see."
After that sentence, Masayo Aoshima overheard the conversation between Lin Yi and Detective Mouri.
"Mr. Mouri, you don't have anything planned for tonight, right?"
"No, I don't have anything… if I had something, I wouldn't go anyway. I was busy until morning last night, I'm dead tired. Come drink with me tonight."
"Sorry, I already have plans with a friend…"
"Hmm, I asked Mr. Mouri, looks like he has nothing for tonight, seven o'clock, right? I'll be there on time."
Hearing the "yes" on the other end of the phone, Masayo Aoshima tightly hugged the cushion and smiled happily. She said, "Alright, I'll send you the address! So... see you tonight, don't be late."
"I won't be late."
After hanging up the phone, Masayo Aoshima celebrated, hugging the cushion while rolling on the bed.
Mina didn't quite understand her sister's attitude. A moment ago, she was crying from anger, and now how is she so happy?
"Not crying anymore?" Mina tried to understand how her sister felt at that moment.
"Crying? I haven't cried…"
"But your eyes are swollen…"
"A little makeup will do…"
Masayo Aoshima looked at the clock on her phone, jumped out of bed quickly, and said, "Hurry up, Mina! Let's go to the supermarket to buy ingredients… and prepare dinner! Lin Yi is coming tonight, we have to show him our cooking skills."
...
What is a "lapdog"?
This is what's called a "lapdog."
It doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman, if you're human, there's always the possibility of becoming a "lapdog."
Lin Yi only expressed a bit of apology, and Masayo Aoshima completely forgave him.
Forgiving isn't a problem, but forgiving completely is.
The key to identifying if someone is a "lapdog" is to see if they are capable of "completely forgiving."
When Masayo Aoshima showed that she forgave him completely and invited him to her house for dinner, Lin Yi knew that the situation was already secured.
But, well, that's the difficulty of being a secondary character.
If all secondary characters had difficulties like the supporting women, how would that be?
If you want to win over a girl, you will inevitably have to spend some money.
But how to spend it is also a science.
The worst of all is when it comes to gifts.
Most people, when buying a gift for someone they're interested in, tend to choose something around one or two hundred yuan.
There's sincerity, but not much originality.
If the girl is interested in you, there's naturally no problem, she'll be very happy, and it won't matter if it's something worth a hundred yuan or even ten, she'll be very happy.
But if the girl isn't that interested, those gifts won't increase her affection.
It's better to give a gift worth more than a thousand yuan, to impress her with your purchasing power.
Not only that, her affection will surely rise by twenty or thirty points!
Some readers might think:
"Aren't you crazy? I already told you the girl isn't that interested in you, and you're going to spend more than a thousand on a gift? Have you gone mad?"
Let's do the math.
If you really want to win her over, the gift doesn't need to be less than a hundred yuan.
Then, every time there's a holiday, you have to give her a red envelope, another two hundred yuan there.
Next, on dates, eating out, two hundred and something, having a milk tea, fifty, occasionally going to an entertainment center, a hundred and something, a total of three hundred fifty.
And the dates won't be just one, if you go twice, the expense will already exceed seven hundred yuan.
Not counting the gift and the red envelopes.
It's not hard to surpass a thousand yuan.
When you complete all of this, you'll notice the girl is still indifferent, the affection hasn't increased much.
You've wasted money and time.
Instead, from the start, it's better to spend it wisely and give her a gift worth more than a thousand yuan.
Impress her, and next time you invite her, just take her hand, move it to the next level, and don't hesitate to reach the third level if you have the chance.
If she remains indifferent, don't waste time.
Enjoy the situation, then say goodbye, let her see that she lost the chance to have a rich friend.
If you have enough nerve, you can even ask her to return the gift…
Of course, these numbers are just a reference. If you're rich, a thousand yuan is nothing, then you can go play with some influencer and forget about romance.
