Love? The Reborn Me Just Wants to Obtain Rewards-Chapter 506 - 226: Another Lame One

When the call connected, Zhang Dayi seemed like she hadn’t gotten out of bed yet, her voice groggy as she asked, "What? What happened?"

Despite the initial setback, Su Huai remained quite calm, seizing the opportunity of the other person’s grogginess to push further: "Sister Yi, I’ve come to Hangzhou. Where are you? I’ll come find you~~~"

"Don’t!"

Zhang Dayi’s voice got clearer, but she presumably still hadn’t opened her eyes.

"Go play on your own, stinky little brother. At this time, no one can get me out of bed!"

Gou Huai took another beating.

Any other young boy might have panicked, but Gou Huai immediately took it as a cue and switched to addressing her more affectionately.

"Sister, hey! I’m only 18, technically still a minor. Coming all alone to your turf, and you won’t host me? Should I just sit on the curb and stare at the sky?"

This year, Zhang Dayi is between 26 to 30 years old. Her exact age remains a mystery since her biography on Wikipedia was altered.

According to public information Su Huai found, she first appeared on the cover of Rayli as a model during college in 2009, which means the birth year 1988 should be correct.

28 years old, a whole nine years older than Su Huai, practically from another generation.

So, Su Huai went all-in on the little brother card today, deliberately emphasizing the age gap to lower her guard, stir up her maternal instinct, and approach through the guise of everyday life.

Shameless, but highly effective.

Su Huai intentionally controlled his tone and demeanor to seem anxious and aggrieved, instantly snapping Zhang Dayi to full alertness.

"Isn’t it, weren’t you supposed to go to Alibaba to discuss business with Yu Feng? How come you’re out on your own? Wasn’t Jiang reliable in arranging a meeting with President Yu?"

"I did get an appointment, but President Yu is busy!"

Gou Huai stressed the words "busy" and "ah," making his voice sound even more pitiful.

"I flew here from Imperial Capital in the middle of the night, barely had a brief chat with him before he went off to a meeting. I’m young. I’m too embarrassed to hang around Alibaba for lunch. Didn’t I have to come out?"

I thought I’d dine with you and talk about our collaboration, but who knew you wouldn’t be up yet?"

When chatting with others, the use of tone particles and modulation at the end of sentences are very effective advanced techniques.

The doting tone common among flirtatious girls hinges on these two points, such as "how could you be like this~," or "you’re so naughty~" being the most extreme examples.

Of course, men can’t overdo it, but when dealing with older sisters or aunts, it’s appropriate to alternate between stressed endings and light endings.

The former indicates dissatisfaction, while the latter shows pleasure.

When dealing with older women, whether you’re happy or not, you need to let them know. They are more accommodating than women their age, are willing to care for your feelings, and naturally prefer this simple mode of interaction—because they usually deal with slick or even slimy middle-aged people, so differentiation is very important.

However, directly saying "I’m not happy" clearly isn’t smart, sounds like a big baby, so you have to work on tone, speed, and style of speaking.

Ultimately, you want to make sure they can clearly sense your emotions without feeling directly offended.

Also, don’t be overly affected in your speech, and the youthful tone in your voice must not be lost. If your voice naturally sounds mature, then you should also put more effort into how you phrase things.

The basic principle should always be: naive but sensible, straightforward but courteous.

Su Huai has taught this lesson to several good-looking male streamers, but this was the first time he was applying it himself, and he outperformed even the smoothest young idols of his past life.

Truly awesome, my dude~~~

Zhang Dayi was no exception to falling for Su Huai’s tactics, her tone immediately softened, and she was in a hurry to sit up.

"What are you talking about, I got up early, just laid back down to play with my phone for a while..."

She held her forehead, telling her own disgustingly made-up story while unconsciously starting to coax Su Huai.

"Okay, okay, where are you? Can you get a cab? Just come to my place. Once you get here, I’ll take you out to eat, we have lots of delicious stuff in Hangzhou... uh..."

The sudden stammer let Su Huai instantly catch that point.

If it were Gu Jiuyue, he would have been very gentle, but with this rich older sister, he burst out laughing very loudly.

"Haha! I’ve always heard there’s nothing good to eat in Hangzhou, seems like you also struggle every day deciding what to eat, huh?"

The strangeness and distance were instantly diluted in his joyful laughter, Zhang Dayi forcibly explained: "How can that be? Shan Wai Shan, Lou Wai Lou, Hangzhou Restaurant, Zhi Wei Guan... they’re all very good!"

Since he’d gotten his foot in the door, Gou Huai naturally continued to push.

"Which place do you like? I’ll try to see if I can take out from there, bring it over to you. Saves you the hassle of taking me out at noon..."

Look at that, what a considerate and caring little brother!

Zhang Dayi was quite moved, but how could she let Su Huai run around for her?

She quickly refused, "No, no, no, just come over here and that will be fine. Once you are in my place, I must be the one to make arrangements!"

From the initial "Nobody can get me out of bed" to the now "come over here," less than a minute had passed.

Yet Gou Huai wasn’t giving up and continued to strike while the iron was hot.

"Okay, you’re the elder sister, I won’t argue. Then I’ll go buy you some flowers! It’s rude not to bring a gift the first time I visit. Picking some plants and flowers to spruce up the place will help you feel good all the time..."
