Chapter 89
Methods to Coax a Girl
Downstairs, looking at the unanswered messages on her phone screen, Lin Xiao felt a little uneasy.
I wonder if Qin Yanan has any solutions?
After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiao typed a few more words: "If it's too much trouble, then forget it."
Qin Yanan's fingertips twitched slightly as her gaze fell on a line of text Lin Xiao had typed on her phone screen. She couldn't help but shake her head and say, "No trouble, I was just thinking..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao relaxed somewhat and said, "I see. May I ask why?"
"This person is really impatient." Qin Yanan smiled slightly before revealing her answer.
"When a girl is feeling down, the worst thing you can do is to keep asking her questions or lecturing her."
If she doesn't want to talk about her feelings, don't force her. Just stay quietly by her side. There's no need to deliberately find topics to talk about. It's enough to let her know that someone is with her.
Of course, you can also find her something to pass the time and distract her.
For example, let her watch TV series or movies. Don't choose anything too heavy; something light and relaxing is best. Don't force it; let her gradually relax, and her mood will naturally improve.
Qin Yanan typed while thinking to herself.
I wonder if Lin Xiao can understand the meaning behind my words?
The thought made her cheeks flush slightly.
After all, this was her favorite activity when she was bored.
Downstairs, Lin Xiao's phone suddenly vibrated twice in a row.
Immediately afterward, Qin Yanan sent a message.
He quickly clicked on it, read it carefully word by word, and his eyes lit up.
Yes, Yu Jiuyou was constantly entangled in sect affairs and killing in the Cangxuan Realm, facing nothing but deceit and bloodshed every day.
Perhaps I really need some trivial pastimes to distract myself and relieve the gloom and low mood in my heart.
As for watching TV series, maybe I should buy a tablet?
This thing is small and portable, doesn't take up much space, and can download all kinds of TV series and movies.
It's perfect for Yu Jiuyou, and it's more novel than the same old snacks every day. Maybe it can really help ease the female demon's depressed mood.
Having figured this out, Lin Xiao quickly replied, "Thank you, Sister Ya Nan! That's so helpful, you're absolutely right, I'll go prepare right away! Thank you for your help, it's so early!"
As Qin Yanan looked at Lin Xiao's urgent yet sincere reply on the screen, her smile deepened.
A gentle light appeared in her eyes as she lightly tapped the screen and replied, "Don't mention it, it was nothing. Remember to choose a lightweight one, it's easier for a girl to carry."
She specifically emphasized these details, both to follow Lin Xiao's "friend's" line of reasoning and to hide her own ulterior motives.
"Okay, I got it! Don't worry, Sister Ya Nan, I'll definitely choose a lightweight one!"
After quickly replying, Lin Xiao immediately got up, grabbed a clean coat and put it on before rushing out of the house.
Upstairs, upon hearing the door close downstairs, Qin Yanan smiled slightly, her heart filled with anticipation.
……
Lin Xiao was naturally unaware of this; all he could think about was buying the tablet as soon as possible, downloading movies and TV shows, and then bringing it to Yu Jiuyou the next time he entered her dream.
At that time, I should be able to complete the task smoothly, increase my favorability, and get one step closer to removing the mark from my body.
Fortunately, although this suburb is remote, there is a chain electronics store nearby, which is not too far away.
When Lin Xiao arrived, the shop was already open for business.
Inside, a shop assistant was tidying up the shelves. There were no other customers in the store, making it very quiet.
Seeing Lin Xiao rush in, the busy shop assistant immediately stopped what she was doing and stepped forward to ask her in a warm manner:
"Sir, what do you need to buy? What kind of configuration and style are you looking for?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao suddenly paused, a look of confusion on his face.
He rarely comes into contact with these electronic products and knows nothing about the configuration and models of tablets.
I was only thinking about buying a tablet, and I forgot to consider these details.
After a few seconds of stunned silence, Lin Xiao finally came to his senses.
Remembering Qin Yanan's instructions, she slowly said, "I need a laptop that's good for watching dramas, lightweight and portable, with good battery life, and suitable for girls."
Upon hearing this, the shop assistant immediately nodded.
He then led Lin Xiao to a counter, picked up a pink tablet, handed it to Lin Xiao, and introduced it:
"Sir, this is the latest version that has just been released. It's ultra-thin and weighs less than 300 grams, so it's effortless for a girl to hold."
As for battery life, it's also quite good, lasting up to twelve hours of continuous video playback. It comes in two colors: light pink and milky white, both understated and elegant, making it perfect for binge-watching TV shows.
Lin Xiao took the tablet, held it gently in his hand, and felt that the body was thin and smooth, with a very good feel, and the size was just right.
The pale pink exterior was somewhat contrasting, but considering the female demon's aloof personality, he was actually looking forward to it.
I tried opening the video software, and it operated very smoothly.
There was no lag, and the screen was very clear, which made me extremely satisfied.
"This is the one. Could you please get me a brand new one? Also, could you please download some movies and TV shows for me? Lighthearted comedies, period dramas, and well-received films—the more the better."
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment, I'll get it for you right away."
The salesperson was very happy to have sold a flagship phone early in the morning.
Hearing this, he quickly agreed, turned around to get the brand new tablet, activated it, and began downloading movies and TV shows as Lin Xiao requested.
Lin Xiao stood to the side, his eyes fixed on the tablet screen, while talking about the movies and TV shows he needed to download.
About an hour later, the clerk finally set up the tablet, all the movies and TV shows had been downloaded, and he also taught Lin Xiao the basic operating methods.
Lin Xiao checked it carefully again to confirm that the video could play normally and that the operation was simple and easy to understand.
Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief, quickly pay the money, and carefully put the tablet into the protective case.
After thanking him, he turned and hurriedly walked out of the store.
However, just as Lin Xiao reached the door, he suddenly stopped.
He was so busy buying a tablet and downloading movies and TV shows that he forgot something crucial!
The Cangxuan Realm is not the real world; there is no power source or electrical outlets.
Even if my tablet has great battery life, it will eventually run out of power.
Once the tablet runs out of power, downloading tons of movies and TV shows won't help.
Not only will you fail to appease Yu Jiuyou, but you might also waste your efforts and even displease her.
The thought of the female demon getting angry over this made Lin Xiao break out in a cold sweat.
So he quickly turned around and ran back into the store, frantically telling the clerk, "Miss, I also need to buy a solar charging panel! I need a portable one that can charge my tablet, with good battery life, and the faster the better!"
The shop assistant was startled by his sudden action. After a moment of surprise, she smiled and said, "Sir, don't worry, we have solar charging panels specifically designed for flat-panel devices."
They're all portable models, small in size and lightweight. Two hours of sun exposure is enough to fully charge the tablet, making them incredibly convenient and perfect for use outdoors.
"Great! Quick, get me two!"
Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but his tone remained urgent.
The shop assistant quickly turned around and took a small solar charging panel from the shelf.
The black casing matches the color of the tablet, and it's even smaller than a tablet, making it easy to carry.
"Sir, this is the one. It has excellent compatibility and can charge your tablet. It's also waterproof and wear-resistant, so you don't have to worry about it getting damaged even if you put it in your bag."
The shop assistant explained and demonstrated the charging method.
"As you can see, just connect the charging cable to the tablet and the charging pad, place it in a sunny spot, and it will charge automatically. It's very convenient."
Lin Xiao took the charging pad, examined it carefully, and then tried connecting it to the tablet. Only after confirming that it could charge normally did he feel completely relieved.
He quickly paid and then repeatedly checked the charging pad's interface and functions.
After making sure there were no problems, I carefully placed the two charging pads and the tablet together into my bag.
"Thank you so much! Luckily you have solar charging panels here, otherwise I would have had to go somewhere else." Lin Xiao sincerely thanked the shop assistant, her tone full of relief.
If he hadn't suddenly remembered that he only discovered his tablet couldn't be charged after arriving in the Cangxuan Realm, it would have been a real problem.
"You're welcome, sir. It's nothing," the clerk replied with a smile.
Lin Xiao didn't linger any longer. After thanking them again, she hurriedly rushed out of the electronics store.
Looking down at the tablet and solar charging panel in his bag, Lin Xiao couldn't help but smile.
Now we have tablets, and we also have ways to charge them.
There were also snacks prepared in advance.
Next time I enter your dream, I'll definitely be able to appease Yu Jiuyou, successfully complete the mission, and increase your favorability.
