Book Chapter 596: Boys are Just Kids (Update 4)

Main Bedroom. Lin

Two beautiful women lie in bed, both unable to sleep.

“Mu, I’m not sure if I really like him.”

“Oh.”

“But he’s so silly—always letting me have his way. Even though he’s younger, he cares for me like an old man… Can you call that love?”

“No.”

“A few days ago, when my period started, he actually asked me how I found out. I honestly wanted to hit him—how can a man be so clueless? Then he brought me some painkillers, and I felt a little relieved… Is this love?”

“No.”

“I don’t really mind being cared for by him. Just seeing him fuss over me makes my day. And if I tease him, he doesn’t get upset. It feels pretty good… So maybe this is what you call ‘563 love’?”

“No.”

“Ah, so it’s nothing like that?”

Zhou Yanyu stared at Mu Qingwu in disbelief, unable to understand.

“Love is a matter between two people. Why involve a third?”

Mu Qingwu smiled softly. “The answer is already in your heart, isn’t it?”

“…”

A shy blush appeared on Zhou Yanyu’s delicate face. “It’s just my first time—I’m not completely sure.”

“Then go find out for yourself.”

Mu Qingwu’s striking eyes, so clear in their contrast, sparkled with mischief.

They shone like a pair of deep, twinkling stars.

“I just don’t know how to be with him.”

Zhou Yanyu admitted, her expression a mix of happiness and fear.

“Being together is really simple.”

Mu Qingwu grinned. “If you have a fight, just lower your stance and sweet-talk him. His brain will go blank. And if he’s still mad, just steal a kiss by pinning him down—he’ll be completely stunned.”

“But if you insist on arguing with him, his smarts will suddenly spike and he’ll try to reason with you. Besides, we girls can’t win in a fight.”

“If you want to keep him in check, just coax him—he’ll turn into a big kid.”

Zhou Yanyu looked at Mu Qingwu in astonishment. “Really, is that all there is to it?”

“Once you become inseparable, you’ll realize it’s effortless.”

Mu Qingwu’s eyes twinkled. “You can be yourself around him—eat heartily, cross your legs, fool around wildly. No need to diet or act like a lady. Just be a little coquettish and call him ‘husband’, ‘little brother’, ‘big brother’, or even ‘dad’… and he’ll pamper you like his little treasure.”

Zhou Yanyu was left speechless.

“By the way, let me tell you a secret.”

Mu Qingwu suppressed a laugh. “Men’s computers always hold a few secrets—password-protected folders, bookmarked pages, hidden directories… If you happen to stumble upon them, don’t get angry. Just give him a look; he’ll be embarrassed, maybe even apologetic.”

“Ha.”

Zhou Yanyu burst into laughter. “So childish?”

“Yes, absolutely childish.”

Mu Qingwu nodded. “As long as he loves you—loves you forever—you’ll see he’s ridiculously immature, petty, and only gets more childlike with time. Of course, if love fades, things might change, but I haven’t been there and don’t want to be. I just want him to remain a kid in my eyes his whole life.”

“Is it really that simple?” Zhou Yanyu asked in disbelief.

“It really is.”

Mu Qingwu met Zhou Yanyu’s gaze. “But remember—you must never cross his boundaries.”

“What boundaries?” Zhou Yanyu’s heart skipped a beat.

“Only his hands may touch your face, only his lips may kiss your mouth, only his hands may hold yours, only his arms may wrap around you, and only he may reside in your heart. You must be his and his alone…”

Mu Qingwu warned, “If you can’t stick to that, don’t even start. Understand?”

Zhou Yanyu fell silent for a long moment before nodding.

“Understood!”

…

Later that morning in the kitchen.

“Handling a woman is actually pretty simple.”

While cooking, Xiao Yu coached his apprentice, “When they’re out having fun and don’t want to come home, you need to whip up something they love to win their hearts. When they’re off work and tired, the thought of coming home for a meal will draw them back. Women—they’re all about food.”

“But I don’t know how,” Wang Cheng said dejectedly.

“Then learn.”

Xiao Yu smiled. “I’m not saying you have to cook masterpieces; you just need to build a routine. When it’s time, you’ll be hungry and sleepy. Habits can be addictive. Once she’s used to what you do, if that comfort is ever taken away, she won’t feel right.”

“If you want a good relationship, don’t be a clueless brute who just charges in. Learn to stir things up, mix emotions around.”

“By the way, let me ask you something.”

Xiao Yu looked at his hapless apprentice. “Do you know what a woman really means by ‘feeling’?”

“It should be…”

Wang Cheng brightened. “Creating an atmosphere?”

“Oh, come on.”

Xiao Yu looked surprised. “Answering so quickly?”

“Hehe!” Wang Cheng grinned foolishly.

“Exactly—it’s all about creating an atmosphere.”

Xiao Yu nodded. “For instance, when you’re on a date with your Yan Yu Jie, if she asks you to bring something, don’t be a dumb oaf and give it to her right away. Instead, play a little trick. When you meet her, say you forgot. How do you think she’ll react?”

“Uh…”

Wang Cheng broke into a cold sweat. “She’d be really angry, wouldn’t she?”

“Right. Once she’s upset, smile at her, then produce the item and tease her a bit. Or if she calls you to hang out at 3:9, say you’re caught up with a case. She’ll get grumpy, and then add, ‘If you use your charms on me, I just might have time for you’… tease her relentlessly. That’s creating an atmosphere. Got it? Women love that!”

“Tsk!”

Wang Cheng gasped, glancing at his master as if he were staring at a sea turtle.

Isn’t this just the self-cultivation of a Casanova?!

“Stop looking at me like that. I’ve told you before—keep up with the times.”

Xiao Yu rolled his eyes. “Nowadays, the world is full of scumbags, sea dogs, and Casanovas. If us honest men don’t learn to adapt, women will all be theirs. What chance do we have?”

“Love isn’t just about dedication—it sometimes takes a little muscle!”
