Chapter 419: Chapter 418: Bad Idea (Part 2)

However, the upside to Ning Luoxi not understanding these things is that men who pursue her in the future won’t have it so tough. They don’t have to worry about forgetting a holiday or failing to give a gift.

"Uh, Brother Lin, you’re more experienced; tell me, what kind of things should I prepare?" Ning Weiguo, although a bit slow in this department, was not ashamed to ask for advice.

But Lin Tian wasn’t too pleased with this claim. What does it mean that I am experienced? Back when I was in a relationship, I was still stuck at the holding hands stage.

He glanced at Ning Luoxi and explained, "This, Uncle Ning might have some misunderstandings. Some things I only know about from TV dramas."

"No need to explain so much," Ning Luoxi said bluntly. "Just tell us what else we need to prepare."

Yeah, why the hell should I explain myself to this violent girl? Even if I’ve charmed thousands, it’s none of her business, Lin Tian realized and thought.

He recalled a scene from a TV drama and then said, "Uncle Ning, the first thing you need to do is to buy a bouquet of flowers, and then carefully choose a gift, and think about what you’ll say when we meet later."

"I still need to buy flowers? We’re an old married couple; gifting flowers is so embarrassing," Ning Weiguo frowned, clearly troubled.

This Ning Weiguo, someone could point a gun at his head and he wouldn’t bat an eyelid, but ask him to give a bouquet of flowers and he balks.

Lin Tian shook his head and analyzed for him, "Uncle Ning, you think that because you’re an old couple, there’s no need for flowers, and Teacher Fang Ming probably thinks the same. But if at this time you present a beautiful bouquet, it will be completely unexpected, creating a surprise effect. As long as Teacher Fang Ming is pleasantly surprised, you’ve already succeeded halfway in making up."

"You do understand the hearts of women quite well," Ning Luoxi commented as she glanced at him.

"I have no need to explain to you," Lin Tian returned her earlier remark to her.

Ning Weiguo, however, was deep in thought, then as if enlightened, said earnestly, "In warfare, one uses the direct approach to engage, but victory comes from the unexpected. Therefore, those skilled at being unexpected are as unending as the heavens and earth, and inexhaustible as the rivers. Brother Lin, your tactic of winning by surprise is in line with the principles of military strategy, truly brilliant!"

Brilliant? Brilliant, my ass, Lin Tian really wanted to pry open Ning Weiguo’s head to see what was inside. They’re talking about wooing a lady, not discussing military tactics!

Ning Luoxi also showed a helpless expression, clearly thunderstruck by her own dad’s words.

Lin Tian helplessly said, "Well, it’s more or less that principle. Just prepare a bouquet of roses, that will do."

"What else is there? Besides these, is there anything else I should do?" Ning Weiguo finally accepted the idea of giving flowers and asked further.

After some thought, Lin Tian added, "Women are auditory creatures; when you meet later, don’t talk about apologies. Recall the past, reminisce the bitter and the sweet. If you’re good at cooking, go buy groceries and make a delicious meal; women are also gustatory creatures. They say to win a man’s heart, you must first win his stomach, and this principle also applies the other way around. Of course, the most important thing is that you are sincere in doing all these..."

While speaking, Lin Tian saw Ning Weiguo taking out a notebook and scribbling down notes, which made Lin Tian facepalm.

"Uncle Ning, what are you doing?" Lin Tianqi wondered.

"Oh, I’m writing down these useful things you mentioned," Ning Weiguo said as if it were only natural.

"Forget it, that’s enough. Go buy groceries and flowers now," Lin Tian said resignedly.

Before driving off, Ning Luoxi suddenly threw out a line, "Lin Tian, with your experience, you must’ve fooled quite a few girls, huh?"

Lin Tian was startled. This little girl only knew about fighting, would she even care about these things? But he still replied, "I don’t need to explain to you."

Then, he started the car and drove away stylishly, leaving Ning Luoxi staring after him.

There was a large market near the school, with a full selection of poultry, fish, fruits, and vegetables. Ning Weiguo picked out the ingredients Fang Ming liked and bought everything they needed before heading back.

While they were on their way back, they passed by a flower shop, and Ning Weiguo got out of the car to buy flowers. However, when he came back, Lin Tian almost blew his top. The man hadn’t bought roses; he had actually purchased a bunch of red Chinese roses.

"Uncle Ning, what’s going on? Why did you buy a bunch of Chinese roses?" Lin Tian said, glaring.

"Chinese roses?" Ning Weiguo was taken aback.

Ning Luoxi was also puzzled, "Doesn’t seem like there’s much difference, right?"

"How can there be no difference? Forget it, I’ll give you a lesson so you won’t be cheated in the future without knowing it." Lin Tian shook his head and pointed at the Chinese roses, "They’re both part of the rose family, both have thorns, but rose thorns are sharper and denser, while Chinese roses have sparser, flatter thorns. Also, rose leaves are concave and wrinkled, dull, with fuzz on the back, whereas Chinese rose leaves are flat and glossy with no fuzz on the back. Remember this, so you won’t be cheated in the future."

"You’re really experienced, huh." Ning Luoxi nodded.

"I’ve told you, I just read a lot, it’s really hard to communicate with you!" Lin Tian couldn’t help but explain further.

"Brother Lin, the flower shop only had these, I think it’s OK, Chinese roses are not bad." Ning Weiguo said.

Since the flower shop was like that, there wasn’t much Lin Tian could do. Sometimes the florists themselves didn’t even know they were selling Chinese roses.

After taking care of everything, Lin Tian called Fang Ming to confirm she was home before driving to the teachers’ apartments together.

Once at the apartment, Lin Tian called the bar and asked Lu Jia to send over a few bottles of strong alcohol. When the boss gave an order, efficiency was high. In less than ten minutes, the alcohol was delivered, personally by Su Wenshan, who drove over in an electric car.

"Brother Lin, I heard there was trouble today because of me?" Su Wenshan said, feeling guilty.

"It’s nothing. Whoever dares to bully my brothers, I make sure they regret it. You don’t need to worry. Just focus on studying and working well. That’ll be the biggest help you can offer your sister." Lin Tian patted his shoulder, advising him.

"Yeah, thank you, Brother Lin, I’m going to work now." Su Wenshan nodded, smiled, placed down the alcohol, and then rode away on his electric bike.

The young man was a bit fearless like a calf unafraid of tigers and seemed to take things in stride. If it were his sister, she’d probably be worried sick.

"Lin Tian, come here." Ning Luoxi pulled Lin Tian to one side and whispered, "What do you need all that alcohol for? If my parents get drunk, how are they supposed to make up?"

"Hehe, you just don’t understand. There’s a saying that ’in wine, there’s truth,’ alcohol emboldens the timid, so the thing to fear is them not getting drunk, not them being drunk." Lin Tian said shamelessly, chuckling, "Besides, if they get drunk, that’s when I have my next plan."

Ning Luoxi glanced at her father to make sure he hadn’t heard, and then she whispered back, "What other sneaky ideas do you have? Tell me now, so I can play along and not give us away."

Lin Tian smiled again, this time even more shamelessly, his mouth nearing Ning Luoxi’s ear.

Her ears were naturally very sensitive, and she suddenly felt a tingling sensation, her body shuddering involuntarily, her face quickly turning red. Nonetheless, she managed to control these feelings and listened intently to what Lin Tian was saying.
