CHAPTER 355: CHAPTER 182: WAIT TILL I EXPOSE HIS TRUE COLORS_2

So why do men so easily fall for the "green tea" type of women?

Because they never oppose men, don’t act out, and don’t flaunt superiority; they go with the flow in everything.

However, if a man goes with the flow in everything for a woman, he gradually turns into a "lick dog."

The difference here is worth pondering.

Of course, Chen Yanfei probably wasn’t thinking that deeply when she spoke, but that’s just talent, or you might call it quality.

She’s just not that kind of drama queen.

If it were Xi Luting, ha, she’d definitely snap back and only feel comfortable after being slapped in the face.

Brother Lie’s sentiment was—he liked them all.

"Of course not!"

Han Lie decisively denied her accusation and offered a comprehensive, smoothly delivered explanation.

"Although there are indeed many girls who have a crush on me, I wouldn’t brag about it to you. The boys who like you would only be more numerous. As someone who experienced it firsthand, I’m still very clear-headed about that."

Chen Yanfei was instantly charmed, smiling from ear to ear.

On the other hand, Ding Xiang felt so jealous she got goosebumps. She shrugged her shoulders and suddenly found Brother Lie less adorable.

HMPH!

I had even more boys liking me in high school!

Alas, there’s no helping it; sweet nothings are for the intended listener. Others only find them greasy or uncomfortable.

Ding Xiang felt somewhat disheartened, feeling herself to be rather superfluous.

Then, Han Lie suddenly turned around, raised his eyebrows at her, and mouthed in complaint, "Tigress, what a handful..."

Ding Xiang pursed her lips and stole a laugh, suddenly not feeling upset anymore.

I’m good, you know! If you provoke me, I definitely won’t be fierce with you...

...

Chen Yanfei quickly picked out two sets of running gear, then worriedly asked Han Lie, "I mean, won’t mindless running thicken my calves? My legs are already thick enough..."

Han Lie then looked down at her legs openly, his gaze filled with an air of academic rigor.

And as he pursued this academic research, he drooled a bit.

If you compared her to Ding Xiang, her hips and legs were indeed thicker.

But a healthy beauty with a larger frame naturally has a sexiness that manga girls lack.

That firmness, that sense of fleshiness, that strong whiff of hormones...

SLURP!

Brother Lie wiped away a tear and solemnly offered his advice.

"If you don’t have anyone to guide you, I don’t really recommend running.

Long-distance running is mainly for cardiovascular endurance. For the same amount of exercise, its slimming and sculpting effects are mediocre, plus it can easily cause knee injuries.

My advice is to swim when conditions allow, and to jump rope when they don’t."

"Jump rope?!"

Chen Yanfei and Ding Xiang exclaimed simultaneously, feeling very surprised.

"Yes, don’t look down on jumping rope."

Brother Lie’s expression became more serious, and his professionalism instantly kicked in.

"Jumping rope is a full-body aerobic exercise with great sculpting effects.

When you jump, not only do your thighs and calves get a full workout, but the rectus abdominis and the internal and external obliques contract as well. With proper arm movement, the muscles in your shoulders, back, and arms are also exercised.

So, girls who consistently jump rope can develop abs.

Once your waist gets defined, not only will the waist and abdomen themselves look good, but the waist-to-hip ratio will also improve significantly.

You’re one of those girls with a larger frame, so focusing on reducing any specific part is pointless. It’s only by getting your body well-coordinated and fluid, and ensuring a beautiful waist-to-hip ratio, that your overall physique will look stunning."

"Wow! Tough Guy, you really are... After three days’ absence, one must look at you with new eyes!"

Chen Yanfei involuntarily gave a thumbs up.

She understood and found Han Lie’s suggestions to be very professional and sensible—what a pleasant surprise!

"Great, then I’ll go buy a couple of jump ropes! Ding Xiang and I can practice together."

Han Lie reminded, "Don’t forget to also buy a couple of jump rope mats."

Ding Xiang couldn’t help but interject, "Why though?"

At the same time, Chen Yanfei asked, "Where can you buy those?"

It revealed the distinct personalities of the two girls.

Han Lie didn’t deliberately answer either one. Instead, he calmly explained his understanding of the sport. He spoke clearly and unhurriedly, exuding a mature charm that Chen Yanfei and Ding Xiang found enormously attractive.

"Jump rope isn’t a high-intensity exercise, but it has a high frequency and requires a significant amount of time to be effective.

So, we need to consider three things—

The first is shock absorption.

The hard ground and consistently hard landings, even with low jumping heights, can always cause damage to the knees, so it’s best to jump on a mat with good shock absorption.

The second is sound insulation and noise reduction.

Since it’s winter, you can only jump in the dormitory or the corridor, and the constant thumping sound is especially unfriendly to the people downstairs.

The third is moisture and slip resistance.

Floor tiles and marble floors are already slippery, and sweat makes them even more prone to slipping without a mat.

All things considered, it’s best to buy a professional jump rope mat made of high-density PVC material, with a thickness at least twice that of a yoga mat.

I’m not sure if they have them here. If not, I’ll accompany you to a professional fitness equipment store later to take a look."

"Wow, you really know a lot..."

Ding Xiang, for once, delivered a straightforward compliment, admiring Brother Lie, who exuded an incredible sense of security.

Chen Yanfei clapped her hands cheerfully, "Then we’ll leave it to you, Tough Guy!"

This too was a high degree of trust and praise.

Han Lie felt utterly delighted inside, as if he saw a system prompt saying "Affection Level UPUP".

In fact, in a normal college, chasing girls really does not require being rich.

Even the more vain female college students, at this stage, are easy to pursue and flirt with, and are not particular about methods or style.

Being sweet-talking is one way, being reliable and secure is another. Showcase talent if you’ve got it; wait patiently if you’re handsome. And if you’ve got nothing, then just shamelessly hype up big dreams for her!

As long as you don’t set your sights too high beyond your level, it’s all too easy to find a partner in college.

Although Chen Yanfei and Ding Xiang were both on the difficult side to win over, Brother Lie knew far more tricks. With a flurry of combination punches, both of them were clearly a bit dazzled.

Next, Han Lie called over a salesperson and started making all sorts of demands.

Soon, he had assembled a complete set of sports equipment for both of them.

The shoes he chose were the lightest running shoes, ten pairs of cotton sports socks, protective knee guards, breathable and sweat-wicking tight sports pants, a cropped vest, and sports bras...

When the old rogue started asking about bras, Chen Yanfei blushed and chased him away.

"Get lost, get lost! Do you really know that much?"

Han Lie kept his expression unchanged. "Alright, you two choose, but pay attention to the support and sweat-wicking..."

He projected an air of selfless professionalism.

So even though Ding Xiang was extremely embarrassed, she wasn’t really angry. She just thought Han Lie was indeed a bit cheeky, a bit naughty.

Not having found everything at Nike, the three of them moved on to Sports City.

When Ding Xiang went in to try on clothes, Han Lie reeled in his playful thoughts and turned his attention to the "serious matter."

"Statue Guardian, where can we buy stockings?"

How would Chen Yanfei know?

Actually, she never wore stockings and didn’t pay attention to them.

However, since her plan was to prank Han Lie, she had naturally done her homework quietly.

After thinking for a moment as if pondering something profound, she relayed the information she had just looked up online, "Try Fuge. With seventy or eighty different colors of stockings, that should be enough for you to choose from."

"Is there a physical store?"

"At the International Financial Center. Want to go?"

Being watched by Chen Yanfei’s teasing half-smile, Han Lie felt an alarm go off in his mind, but he couldn’t figure out what she was up to.

This shouldn’t be happening, should it? Why isn’t she showing any jealousy?

Therefore, Han Lie shrewdly countered, "Can’t favor one over the other. What color do you like?"

"No! I..."

Chen Yanfei shivered all over.

The thought of wearing a skirt and stockings made her uncomfortable at the core.

But then, thinking of how difficult Han Lie could be, she quickly changed her tune.

"Don’t go for anything fancy. I can only accept plain black stockings, and I can’t change into them today. Maybe when it’s warmer next time."

Next time, for sure!

Han Lie guessed her thoughts, but he didn’t expose her.

As long as you’re willing to accept them, wearing them is just a matter of time!

Girls wearing black stockings is like boys cross-dressing: there’s only the first time and countless times after, HEHEHE...

Soon, the sports outfits were all purchased. Chen Yanfei proactively suggested a trip to the International Finance Center. Ding Xiang, bless her heart, had no idea her ’good sister’ Chen Yanfei was inwardly filled with mischievous glee, already plotting to set her up.

And Ding Xiang, innocently agreeing, even highly recommended the Italian restaurant Isola on the fourth floor...

Chen Yanfei suppressed her chuckles, thinking to herself, My naive, foolish little sister Ding, you cannot handle a bad guy like Han Lie. Once I reveal his lecherous true nature, you’ll understand!
