“Is there something wrong with that guy? Why is he de-shelling crayfish for my fiancée?”

“Who in the world needs his crayfish?”

While Lu Benlai was still complaining furiously, a huge heap of de-shelled crayfish meat had appeared on the male student’s plate once more.

“He’s still de-shelling the crayfish? He can’t be thinking of giving them to my fiancée again, is he?”

“Please please please, give it to Little Junior, give it to Little Junior…”

Before Lu Benlai could repeat the sentence for the third time, he suddenly felt a piercingly cold intent being directed toward him, causing him to shudder. When he raised his head and found himself meeting Lin Jiage’s wintry gaze, he immediately sprouted a beautiful smile on his face and said, “… Like hell you should give those plates to Little Junior! There’s no way on earth Little Junior would want the crayfish you de-shelled!”

Driven by his instincts to survive, Lu Benlai forcefully twisted his words. Then, reverting back to a solemn voice, he went back to the main topic at hand, “Boss, it’s not good to let that guy do as he pleases. We need to find a way to stop him!”

“You must know that those who are closest to the gazebo are the first to reach the moon. While he might look shabby, his actions are quite considerate and meticulous. I heard that women are easily moved by little actions like that…”

Lin Jiage felt that Lu Benlai was uttering nonsense, and he directed a look of disbelief toward the latter, “Are you sure that women can be moved by these little gestures?”

“I’m sure of it!” Lu Benlai puffed up his chest and replied confidently. “I stayed up overnight to finish reading five ‘Domineering CEO’ novels, so there’s no way I could be wrong!”

Lin Jiage continued looking at Lu Benlai, and other than disbelief, there was something resembling disdain in his eyes, as if he was looking at a fool.

However, Lu Benlai continued to speak up in his own defense, “Boss, have you ever heard of the saying, ‘Know thy foe and know thyself, a hundred battles a hundred victories’ ? I started reading ‘Domineering CEO’ novels to better understand the mentality behind women. By knowing what they’re interested in, I can improve my courtship of Leng Nuan…”

“… Let me tell you, there’s really a great deal of knowledge in play here. There are female leads who feel moved just because the male leads helped warm their stomachs during their periods. There’s even one who fell in love with the male lead because he carried her back after her high heels broke…”

“… Besides, Boss, how sure are you that women won’t be touched by someone de-shelling crayfishes for them?”

Lin Jiage was initially very skeptical about his reasoning, but Lu Benlai’s final words struck a chord in his heart.

I’d rather decimate the wrong man than let a single one of Soft Bun’s pursuers go!

With this thought in mind, Lin Jiage swiftly scanned his surroundings before his eyes finally fell on a plump middle-aged uncle, whose lips were currently stained with oil. He walked up to him and whispered into his ears.

The uncle gave him an ‘OK’ gesture. Stuffing another handful of crayfish into his mouth, he stood up and began making his way over to Shi Yao’s table as he chewed.

Very soon, the uncle stopped right before the male student who had de-shelled the crayfishes for Shi Yao and Leng Nuan, and with a radiant smile, he called out, “Darling!”

Following which, he moved to hug the male student and gave a big kiss on the latter’s face. “What a coincidence! I didn’t think that I’d get to meet you here. Ever since that night you left me, do you know how much I missed you?”

The uncle gave the male student no chance to explain himself at all, and he embraced him tightly to choke out all of his words.

Some distance away, Lu Benlai watched as that table of people slowly looked at them with shock and then horror…

When the uncle finally released his grip on the male student and left, he didn’t neglect to accidentally knock down the plate of crayfish meat which the male student had just de-shelled earlier.

Taking this entire scene into sight, Lu Benlai’s eyes were wide with shock for a long time before he abruptly turned to Lin Jiage and shot him a thumbs up. “When it comes to crushing peach blossoms, there’s not a single person who I respect more than you! Boss, you really are the Destroyer of Peach Blossoms!”
