She thought about it carefully. It seemed Lin Feng had nothing to hide from her.
After all, Lin Feng's secrets were not minor. If outsiders knew about them, it would be very detrimental to him.
Yet, Lin Feng had shared such important matters with her. This was truly a tremendous display of trust.
Hua Yu suddenly felt an indescribable emotion. It was as if, without her realizing it, she and Lin Feng had become inseparable.
"Alright, since you trust me so much, I'll mercifully help you."
Hua Yu smiled, revealing her teeth. There wasn't much else she could do, but as a woman, she knew exactly how Lin Feng could win over Xu Lin.
Lin Feng had been waiting for Hua Yu's words.
"Okay, then I'll thank you. Tell me your thoughts."
Lin Feng gently patted Hua Yu's fair and smooth shoulders a few times.
"Take your hand away. Don't think you can take advantage of me when I'm not paying attention."
Hua Yu glared at Lin Feng's disobedient hand.
Lin Feng chuckled and wisely withdrew his hand.
"From your description of Xu Lin, I believe she is a woman who greatly lacks a sense of security. It's precisely because of this insecurity that she's so defensive towards the opposite sex."
"However, for a woman like Xu Lin, once you enter her heart, she'll give you her all."
"So, if I help you win her heart, you must not let her down."
"If you do, then don't provoke her. Do you understand?"
Hua Yu warned him beforehand.
"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who hurts others. Besides, I'm not pursuing her; I just want to gain her complete favor, to be considered a good friend."
Lin Feng defined his intentions. He already had too many women, and he couldn't fall for every woman he met.
"You're saying it lightly now. Do you know what it means for a woman to have complete favor towards a man?"
Hua Yu said with dissatisfaction.
"I don't know. I'm not a woman, how would I know what you women think?"
Seeing Lin Feng's ignorance, Hua Yu patiently explained, "Let me put it this way: if a woman has 80% favor towards a man, it means she likes him. If it reaches a hundred percent, then she truly loves him to the point of death."
"To put it bluntly, for you, this is a task, but for Xu Lin, it's giving you her heart."
"Do you understand what I mean now?"
Hua Yu gazed at Lin Feng. She had already spoken very plainly.
"I think I understand. Then I'm very curious, how much favor do you have for me?"
Lin Feng looked at Hua Yu, truly unsure of how she viewed him.
"For you, I'd say about twenty to thirty percent. You have too many flaws, and you don't elicit much favor from me. I can only say I don't dislike you because I'm used to you this way."
Hua Yu smiled.
Lin Feng was instantly speechless. So, in Hua Yu's eyes, he was quite terrible.
"Alright, since you definitely understand, let's talk business."
"First, to gain more favor from Xu Lin, you must enter her life and care for her meticulously."
"But this care cannot be excessive; it must be from the heart. If it's too deliberate, it will only be counterproductive."
"Secondly, you cannot be too proactive. Feelings are not rushed; they happen naturally. As long as you are sincere enough, with time, even a heart made of stone will soften."
"Lastly, you must be able to bring her happiness. She is a woman who lacks joy."
"She lives in other people's worlds all day and never considers herself."
"If you can make her happy and allow her to be herself again, you will have completely succeeded."
Hua Yu's advice was comprehensive and made a lot of sense.
Lin Feng listened attentively. He found Hua Yu very charming and intellectual when she was serious.
In fact, what Lin Feng didn't realize was that Hua Yu had many similarities with Xu Lin.
Like Xu Lin, she had always lived in other people's worlds and had always been unhappy.
Only now had Hua Yu completely escaped the control of her family.
"I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Miss Hua."
Lin Feng smiled, thinking that once he had Xu Lin, he would truly need to thank Hua Yu properly.
"You don't need to thank me, because even if I tell you the method, you might not be able to do it."
Hua Yu was indifferent and didn't quite believe Lin Feng could win Xu Lin's heart.
"Miss Hua, you still underestimate me. In your eyes, I have many flaws, but there's a big gap between the me in your mind and the real me."
Lin Feng noticed Hua Yu's contempt and turned to leave.
Others might not understand his inner self, but he knew what kind of person he was.
He might not put that much effort into others.
But towards the women around him, Lin Feng believed he was truly devoted.
Hua Yu watched Lin Feng's departing back. For some reason, she suddenly felt a sense of loneliness in his silhouette.
It was as if he was misunderstood and unappreciated, walking alone in the world.
Had she really not seen him clearly?
Hua Yu fell into a daze.
Leaving the small building, Lin Feng had intended to visit Su Qingya and Lu Jingzhe.
Coincidentally, Xu Lin contacted him.
"Mr. Lin, can I see you?"
When the call was connected, Xu Lin's faint voice came from the other end.
"Of course, as long as you're not here to hold me accountable, you can see me anytime."
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Xu Lin felt even more self-reproachful. "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you earlier. I'll come over to talk in person now. Please give me an address."
Xu Lin's attitude was good, and Lin Feng didn't intend to refuse.
He thought for a moment. "Then how about the restaurant you took me to last time? Their food is quite good."
"Okay, I'll come find you then."
Xu Lin nodded and hung up the phone.
With a slight movement, Lin Feng instantly appeared at the restaurant entrance, employing the Flying Pig extreme speed technique.
The restaurant was still quiet, with only Uncle Chen serving a table of guests who were about to finish their meal.
Just as Lin Feng was about to go in and wait for Xu Lin, a few tattooed thugs rushed into the restaurant before him.
Upon seeing the thugs, Uncle Chen's expression changed dramatically, his eyes revealing panic and apprehension. Nevertheless, he forced a smile and stepped forward.
"Old Chen, it's time to pay this month's protection fee, right?"
The leading thug, with a cigarette in his mouth, carelessly picked his nose with one hand.
"Brother Hu, please give me a few more days. My wife's old illness has flared up, and I need money for surgery. I really don't have any spare cash right now."
Uncle Chen pleaded with a distressed expression.
"Damn it, what does your wife's death or life have to do with us? Pay the protection fee first. If you don't, we'll go to your house and beat your wife to death!"
The man named Brother Hu threw the cigarette butt at Uncle Chen, his face contorting into a ferocious expression.
