She immediately posted a selfie from the bar, her cheeks flushed and her eyes dreamy, captioning it: "Good night, may we see the dawn together someday."
Fang Hao was furious when he saw it, accusing me of using his name to "attract bees and butterflies," tarnishing his "reputation." I rolled my eyes at him. "What era are you living in? You're still talking about 'reputation'?"
He snatched my phone away and said indignantly, "A man who doesn't love himself is like a rotten cabbage."
I was speechless. "Well, you seem to understand 'marital principles' quite well."
As soon as I finished speaking, Fang Hao flipped over and pinned me down on the bed. "Not only do I understand, but I also know how to 'uphold marital principles.'"
Just as his kiss was about to land, my phone rang.
It was a voice call.
Fang Hao sat up with an annoyed expression. "At this hour, who’s calling you?"
I glanced at the screen; it was a voice call from Qin Danni, and I hadn't switched accounts.
I handed the phone to Fang Hao. "It's yours."
"It's yours."
I raised an eyebrow at him. "At this late hour, what do you think Qin Danni wants to call you for?"
Fang Hao hung up the call directly and crossed his arms, deep in thought. "Your friend is really strange. I had no interaction with her before; I outright rejected her request for a ride when I ran into her in the parking lot."
"Why does she insist on bothering me?"
I shrugged. "She's not bothering you; she's just interested in everything that belongs to me."
I had observed carefully that while Qin Danni liked to snatch other people's things—like Xiao Wu's romantic interests—she seemed particularly interested in mine.
If she enjoys being the center of attention, then in my case, her behavior is all about competition, always wanting to outdo me. Whatever I have, she must have too; if I don’t have it, she’ll take mine.
From the moment we first met, my mother gave each of us a set of CPB skincare products to help me bond with my roommate. It cost around a thousand yuan—not too expensive—but it led my other roommates, including Qin Danni, to mistakenly believe I was a rich second generation.
From that point on, Qin Danni was convinced that whatever I owned was the best. As for Fang Hao, he was the real rich kid. Qin Danni knew he was studying abroad and owned several properties in the city, so she immediately set her sights on him.
If I had known all this earlier, I wouldn’t have let her cling to me for so many years, foolishly thinking of her as a close friend. Just as I was about to sigh, my screen lit up again. It was a message from Qin Danni.
“Dear Qin Danni: These guys couldn’t drink me under the table. Five of them took turns trying, but I ended up knocking them all down.”
“Dear Qin Danni: They all got picked up by their girlfriends; I’m the only one left.”
“Dear Qin Danni: I'm so miserable right now; my head is spinning.”
“Dear Qin Danni: Ahao, can you come pick me up?”
Qin Danni once told me that men who don’t refuse or take action are simply trying to avoid being criticized before confirming their relationship with someone. They use this method to keep women they’re interested in hanging on, making them think there’s mutual interest while later claiming their behavior was just a matter of politeness when things come to light.
In Qin Danni’s eyes, this behavior is tantamount to tacit acceptance. If Fang Hao responds this way, it means there’s an opportunity for me and Fang Hao. Knowing her logic well, I’ve learned how to deal with her. She once proudly shared her tactics among men with me.
No man dislikes a little white rabbit, nor does any man dislike a woman who understands him. She aims to be the only woman who truly comprehends them—innocent, generous, considerate, and thoughtful. Once she shows vulnerability, it creates a contrast that stirs a man's affection, making him believe that this side of her is reserved solely for him, thus igniting his protective instincts. Qin Danni skillfully employed these traits to turn Xiao Wu's ambiguous interest, Liu Wei, into her devoted admirer.
