Chapter 151 You Need to Learn How to Win Over a Girl

Zhu Ziqing looked at Tan Haoyu, a sly glint in her eyes.

His tone carried a hint of smugness: "If I told you in advance, would that still be considered a sneak attack?"

Tan Haoyu's eyes were full of tenderness as he gently pinched her cheek: "Ziqing, you look so beautiful when you smile."

Zhu Ziqing's heart skipped a beat, and a sweet smile flashed in her eyes.

She took Tan Haoyu's hand, her voice filled with excitement: "Haoyu, I'll take you somewhere!"

Tan Haoyu didn't ask any further questions, he just nodded: "Okay."

The two walked hand in hand through patches of snow.

Zhu Ziqing's steps were light and quick, like a cheerful little deer.

Tan Haoyu followed behind her, his gaze fixed on her the whole time.

"Haoyu, why don't you ask me where I'm taking you?" Zhu Ziqing suddenly stopped and turned to look at him.

A smile flashed in Tan Haoyu's eyes: "You'll tell me when you want to."

Zhu Ziqing frowned slightly and said with a dissatisfied tone, "You're always like this, never asking anything."

Tan Haoyu's lips curled up slightly, and he said in a voice full of affection, "Because I believe in you."

Zhu Ziqing's heart skipped a beat, and a look of emotion flashed in her eyes.

She took Tan Haoyu's hand, her tone slightly coquettish: "Haoyu, you're so good to me."

Finally, the two arrived at a frozen lake.

The lake is like a giant mirror, reflecting the blue sky and snow-capped mountains.

Zhu Ziqing pointed excitedly at the lake, her tone tinged with pride: "Haoyu, look! Isn't it beautiful here?"

Tan Haoyu's gaze fell on the lake surface, and he nodded: "Yes, it's very beautiful."

A look of doubt flashed in Zhu Ziqing's eyes: "Haoyu, why aren't you saying anything? Don't you like it here?"

Tan Haoyu's tone was filled with affection: "Ziqing, this place is beautiful. But I think you are more beautiful than this place."

Zhu Ziqing's heart skipped a beat, and a blush rose to her cheeks.

She knew that Tan Haoyu's "liking" wasn't just about the scenery, but also about her.

She lowered her head, her face flushed with embarrassment: "Haoyu, why...why did you suddenly say something like that?"

Tan Haoyu's eyes were full of doting as he gently held her hand: "Because it's the truth."

The two stood by the lake, quietly admiring the beautiful scenery before them.

Tan Haoyu's gaze remained fixed on Zhu Ziqing, his eyes filled with deep affection.

"Ziqing, do you know? Every time I see you smile, my heart feels warm." Tan Haoyu's voice was deep and gentle.

Zhu Ziqing's heart skipped a beat, her eyes filled with sweetness.

She looked up into Tan Haoyu's eyes, her tone playful: "Haoyu, are you confessing your feelings?"

Tan Haoyu's lips curled up slightly, his tone tinged with a hint of teasing: "What if I said yes?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziqing blushed and her eyes were filled with happiness.

She nestled gently in Tan Haoyu's arms, her voice tinged with coquettishness: "Haoyu, you are mine, and no one can take you away."

Tan Haoyu lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead: "Yes, I am yours. No one can take me away."

Zhu Ziqing stood by the frozen lake, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"Then... I'll take you treasure hunting!" Zhu Ziqing's tone was tinged with excitement.

Tan Haoyu frowned slightly, his tone laced with amusement: "Treasure hunting? That's a children's game, isn't it?"

A sly glint flashed in Zhu Ziqing's eyes as she said coquettishly, "What, you don't want to play with me?"

Tan Haoyu's lips curled up slightly: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The two walked along the lakeside path toward a grove of trees covered in snow.

Zhu Ziqing's steps were light and quick, like a cheerful little deer.

"Haoyu, do you know? This is my mother's favorite place," Zhu Ziqing said in a nostalgic tone.

A hint of concern flashed across Tan Haoyu's face: "Ziqing, your mother must be a very gentle person."

Zhu Ziqing's eyes were filled with tears, but she quickly smiled again.

“Yes, she was very gentle. She always told me to live well and not to let her sacrifices go to waste,” Zhu Ziqing said.

A hint of heartache flashed in Tan Haoyu's eyes as he gently took her hand: "From now on, I'll be with you."

Zhu Ziqing's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes filled with tears.

She looked up at Tan Haoyu and said, touched, "Haoyu, you're so kind."

The two walked to a wide-open snowfield.

Zhu Ziqing stopped in her tracks, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"Haoyu, guess what my mom named this frozen lake?" Zhu Ziqing said.

Tan Haoyu frowned slightly and stared at the lake for a long time.

He tentatively asked, "Uh... Qinghu?"

His voice was deep and magnetic, as if it possessed some kind of magic.

Zhu Ziqing pouted, clearly dissatisfied. "No, guess again."

“Then… ‘Ziqing Lake’?” Tan Haoyu scratched his head, feeling that he had already done his best.

Zhu Ziqing rolled her eyes. "Can't you be a little more romantic? You still have three chances."

Tan Haoyu felt a sense of helplessness.

He has never been good at this kind of "guessing what people are thinking" game.

“‘Zhu Zi Qinghu’?” He forced himself to guess again.

Zhu Ziqing stomped her foot in anger, "Can't you think of anything else besides my name?"

Tan Haoyu looked completely innocent. "Then...'Love Lake'?"

Zhu Ziqing finally couldn't hold back any longer and sighed, "Fine, I'll tell you, it's called 'Love Lake'."

"Love Lake?" Tan Haoyu was taken aback. "Why is it called that?"

Zhu Ziqing's eyes suddenly dimmed, and her voice lowered. "Because Mom said that this lake contains all emotions—family, love, and friendship. But..." She paused, a bitter tone in her voice, "Our family has long lost its family affection."

Tan Haoyu's heart tightened upon hearing this, and seeing Zhu Ziqing's dejected expression, he felt inexplicably sad.

He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"Do you think I'm being dramatic?" Zhu Ziqing suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with a hint of stubbornness.

Tan Haoyu quickly shook his head, "No, I'm just... not very good at comforting people."

She lowered her head, a hint of shyness in her voice: "Haoyu, what do you think of the name for this lake?"

Tan Haoyu's eyes were filled with laughter: "It sounds beautiful. You are like this frozen lake, clear and beautiful."

Zhu Ziqing stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly burst out laughing.

"Fine, I'll let it go since you're so stupid."

She paused, a slight smile playing on her lips. "But with your lack of romantic understanding, it's no wonder you've always been single."

Tan Haoyu was taken aback, then gave a wry smile, "Are you looking down on me?"

Zhu Ziqing blinked, then suddenly leaned closer to him and whispered, "I wouldn't say you dislike me, but... you need to learn how to coax girls."

Tan Haoyu looked at her face so close to his own, and his heart suddenly raced.
