Jiang Shuqin firmly rejected Ou Cong's invitation to visit his home and drove away. Ou Cong, frustrated, went to see Song Zhicheng to complain about his difficulties in pursuing Jiang Shuqin. He reaffirmed his determination to win her over, while Song Zhicheng remained uncertain about his own future plans, contemplating a return to teaching in remote areas to forget Feng Qi.

After seeing Song Zhicheng, Ou Cong left the Song Family.

When Ou Cong got home, he happened to run into Xia Chuyi coming to pick up the kids.

Seeing her second brother looking all dejected, Xia Chuyi casually said, "You went to find Shuqin? Well? Did she pay you any attention?"

At that, Ou Cong's shoulders slumped, and he looked even more defeated.

Seeing this, Xia Chuyi immediately understood that Ou Cong had failed again.

Looking at her second brother, Xia Chuyi thought to herself: Serves you right.

Who told him to be such a clueless idiot back then.

And the utterly dejected Ou Cong, after spotting his little sister, sighed and suddenly thought of something.

Ou Cong walked up, dragging out his words, tugged at Xia Chuyi's sleeve and said, "Chuyi…"

"Good little sister, help your brother think, what on earth can I do to win Shuqin back?" Ou Cong looked utterly pitiful as he said to his sister, "I clearly already apologized to her, and I've figured it out—I really do like her!"

"So since I like her and she likes me, why just won't she forgive me?" To Ou Cong, this question was practically a world-class mystery.

Hearing her second brother, Xia Chuyi shot him a sideways glance and said, "And how are you so sure Shuqin still likes you?"

"Huh?" Xia Chuyi's words stunned Ou Cong. Then he stammered, "B-but… she just confessed to me not long ago… I-I think she wouldn't stop… stop liking me that fast, right?"

Obviously, when it came to feelings, the already slow-on-the-uptake Ou Cong was completely spooked by Xia Chuyi's words.

Seeing this, Xia Chuyi kept on raining on her second brother's parade: "Why not? Didn't you reject her before? You turned her down—her getting over you is what she's supposed to do, isn't it?"

"I, I…" Ou Cong's eyes went wide; he was so anxious that sweat was about to break out.

Seeing how nervous he was, Xia Chuyi knew that her silly second brother had really thought things through this time.

Otherwise, why would he be this nervous?

So Xia Chuyi secretly gave a little nod, then said, "Alright, look at how dumb you are, I'll stop messing with you."

"You're not wrong. Generally speaking, a woman really doesn't switch feelings that fast," Xia Chuyi said.

Hearing that, Ou Cong's eyes instantly lit up.

"Really?" Ou Cong asked in surprise and delight.

"Don't get happy so fast." Xia Chuyi calmly went on, "It's true it's not easy to let go of a relationship in such a short time, but…"

Xia Chuyi paused, glanced at her second brother, and then continued, "But if that person isn't worth liking, then it's only a matter of time before she moves on."

"So what should I do then?" Ou Cong blurted out. "Chuyi, teach me what I should do, okay?"

Xia Chuyi said, "Teach you? You can't really teach this kind of thing. In short, it's just eight characters: sincerity moves even metal and stone."

Ou Cong immediately frowned.

He felt like he was already being very sincere!

"Anyway, that's all I can say. As long as you put your sincerity out there, you'll move her sooner or later," Xia Chuyi said earnestly. "Even if in the end you still can't, at least you tried. You'll have a clear conscience."

There was only so much Xia Chuyi could spell out for her second brother.

The rest was up to him.

Ou Cong's expression fell first, then he gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I'll do my best to win her over!"
