e inside.""I mostly love the outdoor garden and swimming pool. The built-in wine cellar and home theater are also fantastic…"Jung Show-jung and Kim Ji-won also nodded, couldn't help but add a sentence...When Chi Jingyuan heard his second brother's words, he was momentarily speechless. Just as he didn't know what to say, his second brother took the initiative to break this hard-won warmth between brothers.

"Alright, enough about idle chatter. Now let's talk business." Ji Jingxu shifted from his previous serious demeanor, his voice taking on a strange, flirtatious tone. His eyes, like hooks, landed on her with unsettling intensity. The question hung in the air like a shadow: "You and your high school sweetheart have settled things up as well, right"

As soon as Chi Jingyuan heard "get to the point," a sense of foreboding washed over him. Sure enough, ridiculous questions followed.

Chi Jingyuan didn't answer. Instead, he squinted his eyes, a smirk playing on his lips, and glanced sideways at his second brother.

Don't make that face at home.

Ji Jingxu frowned, displeased with his younger brother's posture: "You say your eyes aren't small, and you used to like squinting because of poor eyesight, that's fine. But even after getting your vision corrected, you still look like this, have you become addicted to squinting"

Seeing that Chi Jingyuan seemed to want to defend himself, the second brother didn't give him a chance and continued, "Do you think I don't understand your act of 'squinting your eyes, keeping a smile, hiding yourself' It's fine to put on a show outside, but why use this kind of act against your own brother at home"

And even outside, your whole routine doesn't always work. A smile is precious because it's a way of expressing kindness to someone you care about or have feelings for.

And you have the same smile for everyone, your smile loses its value. You look at your eyes, the curve is almost always perfect, you must have practiced in front of the mirror a lot Jingyuan, it's only when there's contrast that something becomes precious.

Speaking of this, Ji Jingxu touched the hilt with his hand and looked at his younger brother with a scrutinizing gaze:

But your expression, when turned around, is also quite interesting. You smile with narrowed eyes at everyone you meet, making you seem approachable. When you encounter close friends and family, however, your expressions are less frequent and you tend to be rather sarcastic. If a girl understands this about you, she'll definitely find it intriguing.

"Well, you're right, that kind of stark contrast really does pique the curiosity of little girls... Nevermind, back to the point, did your high school girlfriend sort things out"

"......"

Qi Jingyuan glanced at his second brother, then returned his gaze to the television, and said with a relaxed expression: "Of course."

"Wow! Great job! My brother Jingyuan can be so rational about dealing with ex-girlfriends now I'm not surprised, he's still my little brother after all!"

Ji Jingxu was amazed by his younger brother's performance. He clapped his hands vigorously and exclaimed, "Oh my goodness, is this still the person who was heartbroken after breaking up with his girlfriend, couldn't eat, and hid in his bed crying alone Ah, jjia, this is what growing up is all about…"

"Ah! Ji Jingxu!" Ji Jingyuan widened his eyes and stared at him, shouting excitedly, like a comedian from the entertainment industry. His older brother couldn't help but speak up.

Even though his pride wouldn't allow him to admit it, he had to acknowledge that his second brother was right.

That time was his first relationship ever, just after he transferred to a high school on the peninsula from America. He threw himself into it completely. He tried his best to care for and please her, checking in on her every day with meticulous attention. All his thoughts and ideas stemmed from her perspective. He thought this was what love was, that they could stay like this until marriage, and then until they were old.

The result was broken a few months later by a simple “I'm tired of it.” My whole emotional world crashed, and I hid under the covers crying, feeling lost for a very long time.

This memory cannot be called a black history. For Chi Jingyuan, it was a deeply moving and significant experience because this wholehearted but utterly failed love affair brought him not only disappointment but most importantly, growth.

After that, he was no longer as at a loss and blind in his relationships as he was at the beginning. Because of his appearance and family background, Chi Jingyuan was very popular at school and never lacked partners.

Through several years of rich interpersonal experiences, he has grown from panicking when seeing a girl he liked cry to feeling utterly lost after a breakup. Now, he can say goodbye with a smile and a tinge of regret, while his heart remains mostly calm.

"Haha..."

Seeing his younger brother's rarely seen flustered expression, Ji Jingxu seemed even more excited. Because as Ji Jingyuan grew up and matured, learning to hide himself with a smile, it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to see this kind of younger brother.

"That's right, that's how a man should be. You inherited the best genes in our family, how could you cry over a woman like that, a snake Your older brother knows your strengths best. With your looks paired with that deceiving smile, and then the contrast after getting to know you... Girls your age fall for this kind of thing."

Chi Jingxu took this opportunity to begin imparting his "sea king" experience to his younger brother: “When you encounter these girls and relationships, don't try to personally experience them.”

You need to stand on a higher dimension, using your soul and consciousness to control your body. It's like playing a role-playing game, where your soul and consciousness are the player, and your body is the character you operate. You must treat them separately. This way, no matter what kind of woman you encounter, you can remain undefeated...

When dealing with a girl who obviously has feelings for you, don't be straightforward. You have to use tactics, the simplest and most effective being "push and pull."

To sum up, “pushing” means making her feel negative emotions, while “pulling” means making her feel positive emotions. By alternating between pushing and pulling, you create strong emotional waves in the girl. You can't just push without pulling, or pull without pushing. Of course, this technique only works on people who are interesting to you. But I believe with my brother's charm, that prerequisite is not difficult at all…

“I’m very grateful for you sharing your experiences, but the kind that would get Ohma and Na to kill you aren’t really practical for me. Don’t worry, though, while I may not be as carefree as my brother, I’m definitely not that naive rookie anymore.” Ji-yeong cut off his older brother’s endless rant with a simple statement of his own opinion.

Although he has experienced quite a few setbacks and gone through many relationships, making him somewhat of a veteran in the dating scene, his outlook on love is still far behind his brother, who is a pure-hearted "sea king."

His older brother didn't understand emotions at all, he just thought of it as a game. But Chi Jingyuan was different, he could play games but still hoped to meet someone he could be emotionally invested in.

"Ugh..."

Just as the opportunity to educate his younger brother was about to be realized, Ji Jingxu gave his sibling a displeased look. Unable to help himself, he let out a long sigh and put on an air of someone who had been through it all, saying in a mysterious tone: “You don’t understand now, but you’ll know I was right in a few years. You’ll only find the one—or ones—that are truly right for you after experiencing many things.”

"For us, we absolutely cannot easily develop feelings. My experience over the years has led me to conclude that humans are creatures who can control their actions but cannot control their emotions because emotions are ever-changing."

After finishing his words, Chi Jingxu narrowed his eyes slightly, clicked his tongue, and struck a pose of someone who had tasted life and seen through the illusions of the world.

"Hmph..." Chi Jingyuan shook his head and stood up, picking up his clothes and walking towards the stairs. As he was about to go upstairs, he turned back and glanced at his second brother with undisguised disdain:

"Don't you think I've read Nietzsche's collected works"

After finishing, she shook her head and sighed while walking upstairs.

With a face ashen gray, Chi Jingxu looked at his younger brother's retreating figure vanish upstairs with an expression of fury. Shortly after, his face softened suddenly, revealing a brilliant smile. He shook his head and murmured softly,

"You little brat..."
