(In the girls’ dormitory room 606)
Jia Ting had somehow found a small blackboard and was dressed in professional attire.
She wore a white shirt under a black blazer and a black knee-length pencil skirt. If she added black stockings and high heels, she would be the epitome of an office goddess.
Her round, elegant face featured delicate features that rivaled the school beauty, and her rimless glasses perched on her straight nose added an intellectual charm.
Raising her hand, she began writing on the blackboard with crisp, loud strokes of the chalk.
Meeting Topic: Helping Ji Yan
Meeting Host: Jia Ting (Teacher)
Meeting Attendees: Ji Yan, Hao Meng, Shi Yulu
Meeting Content: Strategies to help Ji Yan win back Qin Luo’s heart and bring them together
After finishing, she cleaned her hands and tapped the blackboard with a small stick, speaking with great authority, “The meeting is now starting. Please feel free to speak up with any questions or suggestions.”
“Me, me, me!” Hao Meng was the first to raise her hand.
“Student Hao Meng, do you have any questions or suggestions?”
“No questions, but I do have a suggestion. I think the meeting topic is too plain. It should have a grander name! How about ‘Operation Win Back Qin Luo’ or ‘Love Guerrilla Warfare’? How about that?”
“Pass.” Jia Ting said expressionlessly.
“Why? Those names sound great! I learned this naming technique from watching years of anime. How can you not appreciate it?” Hao Meng pouted.
As a devoted anime fan, Hao Meng was confident in her naming skills. Jia Ting’s rejection was simply a lack of appreciation in her eyes. She looked at Jia Ting with a resentful gaze.
Jia Ting ignored her and continued, “Does anyone else have any useful questions or suggestions?”
“Me, me, me!” This time it was Shi Yulu raising her hand.
“Student Shi Yulu, please go ahead… just nothing related to the meeting name.”
“Ah, only Hao Meng would care about such trivial things. I want to ask, where did you get your outfit, Teacher Jia Ting? When did you buy it? I’ve never seen you wear it before. It looks amazing! I want to try it too!”
“This outfit? I bought it when I was doing home tutoring. It felt more formal for the job, so…”
Being praised for her outfit, even someone as serious as Jia Ting couldn’t help but feel a bit proud. Realizing she was getting sidetracked, she gave Shi Yulu an annoyed look and asked, “Ji Yan, do you have anything to say?”
Ji Yan hesitated for a moment before shaking her head: “I want to hear everyone’s suggestions first.”
“Alright then, I’ll start.”
Jia Ting cleared her throat and spoke with a teacher’s authority, “First, we need to understand that Qin Luo likes Ji Yan. Although Ji Yan has been rejecting him, she now realizes she likes him too.”
“But the key issue is that Ji Yan’s repeated rejections have worn down Qin Luo’s enthusiasm. Now, Qin Luo wants to give up, but Ji Yan doesn’t want it to end like this.”
“And as Ji Yan’s friends, we don’t want her first love to end without a resolution. So, we need to come up with a plan to help Ji Yan rekindle Qin Luo’s feelings!”
Her powerful and passionate words stirred everyone. Even Ji Yan looked hopeful, her eyes shining as she gazed at Jia Ting.
‘You’re all looking at me like this, making me feel pressured. After all, I don’t have any experience either…’ Despite feeling uncertain inside, Jia Ting maintained a calm expression and said, “Now, let’s go around and share your thoughts and plans. Who wants to go first?”
“Me, me, me!” The lively Hao Meng jumped up, raising her hand.
Jia Ting rubbed her temples, “Don’t mess around. We’re discussing serious matters.”
Hao Meng pouted, “Why do you think I’m messing around? I really have a great idea!”
“Alright, go ahead.”
“Hmph, with my years of watching anime, it’s easy to make the male lead fall for the female lead. All she has to do is accidentally bump into him in the school hallway, accidentally show a bit of her underwear, and he won’t be able to stop thinking about her all night!”
She finished her suggestion, striking a triumphant pose, earning an admiring look from Shi Yulu.
“Hao Meng, you’re amazing!”
“Hehe, it’s nothing.”
Jia Ting was speechless.
Ji Yan frowned, “No, I can’t show my underwear.”
“Thankfully, there was still a sane person here.” Jia Ting thought, feeling slightly relieved.
Then Ji Yan added, “At most, I can show a bit of my bra strap. I’m afraid showing my underwear would be seen by others.”
Jia Ting looked exasperated and quickly interrupted: “Neither underwear nor bra straps are an option. Okay, next suggestion.”
Shi Yulu tilted her head, thinking as she placed a finger on her chin, “How about approaching his parents directly?”
Hao Meng’s eyes lit up, “Great idea!”
Ji Yan was taken aback but then started to seriously consider it, “In that case, I’d need to find out their interests first…”
‘Hey, hey, you’re barely speaking to each other anymore. Let’s not overthink this, okay?’
Jia Ting felt utterly exhausted and didn’t even bother asking Ji Yan for her opinion anymore. She knocked on the blackboard and said, “Alright, listen up. I have a suggestion.”
The three immediately focused their gazes on her, making Jia Ting feel the pressure.
She pretended to be calm and said, “In my opinion, the most important thing right now is to re-establish contact with Qin Luo. This contact doesn’t have to be frequent, but it must be daily.”
“It can be a simple greeting or a chance encounter. The goal is to keep leaving impressions on his mind, forming a habit…”
Before she could finish, Ji Yan’s eyes lit up, “I understand.”
“???”
‘I haven’t finished, what do you understand?’
Jia Ting looked at her in confusion.
Ji Yan explained earnestly, “He used to confess to me persistently, rain or shine, never giving up. Isn’t that exactly what you said about leaving impressions and forming a habit? That’s how I unknowingly fell for him too.”
What?
Was that really what she meant?
Was Qin Luo really doing that?
Jia Ting was stunned, then saw Hao Meng and Shi Yulu looking at her with admiration.
“As expected of Teacher Jia Ting, you’re amazing!”
“Your analysis makes perfect sense, it’s like a sudden realization.”
“Ah… hahaha, yes, that’s exactly what I meant,” Jia Ting coughed, continuing, “So, our plan is to help Ji Yan re-establish a presence in Qin Luo’s mind, like I said, through greetings or chance encounters.”
Ji Yan frowned, “But I don’t have his contact information.”
Hao Meng added, “His roommate deleted me too, so that’s not an option.”
“Then we’ll have to create chance encounters,” Jia Ting nodded, suddenly getting an idea, and smiled, “I’ve thought of a clever plan…”
