Siheyuan: Don’t say I can’t do it

Chen Luo returned to his dormitory, washed up, and fell asleep on the bed.

Although these twelve hours are not continuous work, they are still very tiring and require a good night's sleep.

He slept until about five in the afternoon before waking up.

This was not a natural awakening, but someone knocking on the door.

When I opened the door, it turned out to be Yu Haitang.

As soon as she saw the door open, she squeezed in and closed the door behind her.

"There's a boy classmate who keeps following me. It really annoys me!"

"Do you know him?"

"He wants to date me, and I've clearly rejected him, but he hasn't given up. Today he even brought a women's bicycle to me and said he wanted to give it to me, as if no one else wanted it."

Chen Luo felt that Yu Haitang's words were a bit of a show-off.

When he saw the proud expression on her face again, Chen Luo was certain in his heart that Yu Haitang was just like that.

So Chen Luo decided to cooperate with Yu Haitang and see what she meant.

"If he can afford a bicycle, it means his family is well off. If he is generous with his money, it means his family is relatively well off."

"He is not generous at all, he is stingy, he is not open-minded, and he is petty."

"This situation shows that his family's economic conditions are not particularly good, but he has certain connections, and it is very likely that he is a cadre family."

Hearing Chen Luo say this, Yu Haitang found it a little unbelievable.

Because Yang Weimin's family was indeed a cadre family, she felt that this classmate was more useful, so she was ambiguous and did not refuse so firmly.

"Then what do you think I should do?"

"If you really don't want to have anything to do with him, then stay away from him and don't give him any hope. Otherwise, he will think that you are tacitly allowing him to get close to you. If you don't end up with him, he will feel cheated. In this way, you will offend him greatly, and he will most likely regard you as an enemy and take revenge on you."

"Not really? We all go to the same school, and I just didn't want to be too blunt in my rejection. But I didn't expect that he would feel better and better about himself, thinking that I was being reserved."

"If you haven't received any favors from him, or if he is one of your candidates, I think it should be easy for you to get rid of him."

"How can you say that to me?" Yu Haitang was secretly surprised, because she did have such thoughts but was unwilling to admit it.

"Is the person you are talking about called Yang Weimin?" Chen Luo showed a playful expression on his face.

"How did you know? Are you investigating me?" Yu Haitang was even more surprised.

"Why would I investigate you when I have nothing better to do? Don't forget, I've only been out of this school for half a year. I have acquaintances in the school, and news about you would occasionally reach my ears."

"I like playing with boys, but I have a bottom line. No boy has ever taken advantage of me." Yu Haitang looked very confident.

"You said that no one has ever taken advantage of you, but you can't help but let others imagine. Some boys will brag even if they haven't taken advantage of you. Maybe he'll say, 'Yu Haitang is really awesome' or something..." Chen Luo analyzed casually.

"What you said makes sense, but now Yang Weimin has come to my house and sent food to my parents. My parents have spoken well of him. What do you think I should do now?"

"Yang Weimin is very determined to pursue you and please your parents at the same time. I think if you don't act more decisively, you might be kidnapped by him. After all, you are a girl, and your reputation is more important, right?"

"You said he did this to create a fait accompli? To make everyone think that I'm already in a relationship with him?" Yu Haitang suddenly realized, and a look of worry appeared on her face.

"That's one hundred percent true. I guess there's someone behind him giving him advice. You're being boiled like a frog in warm water." Chen Luo said with certainty.

"What do you think I should do now?" Yu Haitang asked Chen Luo again.

"There are many men around you, and you have many choices, but you haven't found any inevitable choice among these choices yet; that is to say, the men you are in contact with now are not the most ideal one in your mind, and you haven't developed the strong urge to devote yourself to them, so your mind is erratic."

"Is that right?"

Chen Luo’s words caused Yu Haitang to think deeply.

"I think so. You can think about it carefully. My analysis may not be correct."

"Well, I have to think about it carefully! It's getting dark, and I almost forgot something. Come with me now, and I will take you to see my cousin!"

"Okay!" He felt very excited at the thought that he had another chance to gain some looks.

The two of them went downstairs and happened to see a tricycle. Chen Luo and Yu Haitang got on the tricycle and went to Yu Li's house.

"Can you tell me what kind of conditions you will offer to my cousin?" Yu Haitang was thinking, if Chen Luo was too generous, wouldn't her cousin be the one to suppress her?

"It depends on the situation. Giving her 20 yuan a month for living expenses and preparing a house for her should be enough, right?"

Chen Luo felt that with his current income level, such conditions were quite appropriate. They were attractive enough, but not too exaggerated.

Hearing the conditions offered by Chen Luo, Yu Haitang's heart couldn't help but tremble a few times.

She thought, this is equivalent to getting a salary for free and having her own house. I'm afraid many girls would be tempted, right?

Thinking that if her cousin followed Chen Luo, her living conditions would be much better than hers, she felt a little reluctant.

But now that things have come to this, she can only continue.

"It's already pretty good. My cousin is a practical girl. She should be able to weigh it carefully."

"If she is willing, then she is willing. If she is not willing, I will find someone else. There are still a lot of beautiful girls." Chen Luo said indifferently.

"If you act like you don't care at all from the beginning and make my cousin feel that you don't value her, she will definitely not agree."

"Sorry! Actually, it's not that I don't care. I'm just saying this to relieve myself of the pressure."

"I just don't have the confidence to win, so I first tell myself that there are many fish in the sea and there are actually many choices. There is no need to hang yourself on a tree, right?" After Yu Haitang understood what Chen Luo meant, she found it very funny.

"That's about what I mean." Chen Tuo nodded in agreement.

"Why do you have to be so direct? Isn't it better to just start a relationship and let it flow naturally?"

"Men are different from women. First, it is difficult for them to control their impulses. If they cannot be released in time, it will have a negative impact on the body."

Seeing Yu Haitang's curious look, Chen Luo continued, "You can understand it this way. My physiological needs are stronger and need to be resolved as soon as possible. It can't be a long journey. Do you understand?"

"Then if my cousin agrees to you, you will be together right away, right?"

"Yes! The sooner the better!"

"You just met and it's like that, isn't that too much?"

"Every man has his own opinion."

"My cousin might be worried that after you get her, you might not be so nice to her."

"How is that possible? As the old saying goes, a husband and wife once married are bound by a hundred days of grace. Now that we have that level of relationship, I will definitely be closer to her and treat her better." Chen Luo forced an explanation.

"What's the point of such empty talk? Don't you know how precious a girl's first time is? If you lose your virginity and then marry another man, it will become a lifelong shortcoming. Which girl is willing to take such a big risk without adequate protection?"

"Guarantee?" After hearing what Yu Haitang said, Chen Luo realized that it was the 1960s and reputation was very important.

But his main purpose was just to get some rewards for his looks. If the conditions proposed by Yu Li were too high, he could simply refuse to accept them.

At this time, the tricycle also arrived at the place, and Chen Luo gave him 20 cents for the fare.

This time, Yu Li's parents were not at home, so she invited him directly to her home.

When Chen Luo saw Yu Li, he felt that Yu Haitang was not that thin, because Yu Li was even thinner than her, just skin and bones.

Because Yu Haitang had already told Yu Li in detail about Chen Luo's idea, Yu Li had already thought about it in detail.

At the beginning, she felt that she could not accept this approach.

But when she thought about the difficulty her family was facing now and they didn't know if they could survive, she felt that a little sacrifice on her part wouldn't be a big deal.

Even so, she wanted Chen Luo to provide sufficient guarantees.

Yu Haitang learned from He Yushui that Chen Luo would soon pay back the foreign debt of more than 2,000 yuan, and she also told Yu Li about it.

So after Yu Li thought about this issue seriously, she came up with an idea.

"Chen Luo! This is our first meeting today. I shouldn't have proposed such a condition, but I think your request is direct, so I will be more direct. As long as you can come up with a risk deposit that is enough to impress me, I can agree to be with you; this way, if you treat me badly in the future, or want to abandon me, this risk deposit will be regarded as my compensation; is that okay?"
