“You… you… you have no heart!” Stomping her foot heavily, she sat back in her chair, lowered her head, and began to sob, releasing pitiful, tender cries, “Woo… I’m so pitiful… woo… woo…”
The beautiful woman’s tears instantly softened everyone’s hearts, and they began to sympathize with this poor, seemingly slightly unstable young beauty.
The kind-hearted old man was the first to speak: “Don’t cry! Young lady…”
“Yes, yes! Don’t cry! It’s heartbreaking to hear…” Someone who considered himself a sensitive new-age man poetically said from the side.
After this, several men nodded in agreement.
Hearing everyone’s consolation, Shang Kexin couldn’t help but feel a little smug.
Growing up under her violent mother’s threats of not being fed, she had long been adept at “garnering sympathy” to win her gentle father’s compassion.
“Don’t cry like this!” Gradually, someone left their seat and ran over to offer her a clean handkerchief.
“But… but…” She gently shook her head, refusing the handkerchief from the well-meaning person, slowly and dramatically lifting her jade-like, translucent, and heartbreakingly beautiful face, with two strings of crystal tears hanging beside her bright eyes, “I… I’m so sad! This is my first time approaching someone… and he… he rejected me without even thinking… woo… woo woo…”
Having skillfully designated her target, she lowered her head again, her delicate shoulders trembling as she continued to sob.
“Don’t be sad! Alas… it’s you! Why did you reject her so coldly?” The old man couldn’t help but look up and begin to blame Pu Cangxie.
As the old man started his criticism, everyone else began to chime in with condemnation—
“Hey! Hey! Why reject her so directly?”
Pu Cangxie suppressed the urge to roll his eyes. If he didn’t reject her directly, was he supposed to directly agree?
“Right! The fact that she’s willing to approach you is your great honor!”
This honor he could do without! Whoever wants it can take it!
“At least think about yourself… Alas! Even if you don’t agree, you should at least interact… Anyway, rejecting her like this is just not good!”
The male guest who said this was somewhat considerate, wanting to say he was ugly and unqualified to date such a beautiful lady, but swallowed the words before they could escape.
