Chapter 43

Voting is a healthy and positive behavior; remember to do it every day.

-----

Tang Sen didn't think he was particularly good at studying; he was just more focused than the average person. Children from single-parent families often mature faster than their peers. Moreover, he had made a vow from a young age to make his mother's life better in the future. He always thought about learning more and becoming independent to ease his mother's burden. Over time, his learning ability naturally improved.

"Not too bad!" Tang Sen smiled. "I have to thank Miss Bai Long for teaching me swordsmanship."

Bai Long blushed and took two steps back. "It's nothing, I'm only useful in this way."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a hand touch her shoulder from behind, and then another hand reached out from behind to grab her chest. This scared Bai Long so much that she felt as if she had seen a ghost. A well-bred lady couldn't bear such terrifying harassment. She screamed, covered her chest, and crouched to the ground.

The hand that had tried to grab her missed and swung back in dissatisfaction. Then Zhu Baizhe walked out from the shadows and said, "Oops, I missed... Miss Bai Long, how can you say you're useless? Hehe, you're actually very useful. Come... let big sister take care of you."

"Please don't..." Bai Long cried out. "You... you said at dinner that the love between women is pure, why are you doing this now?"

Zhu Baizhe giggled, "That was just a child's innocent talk, don't take it seriously. I love the soft skin of girls, their rosy little mouths, and their soft, tender chests..." As she spoke, saliva dripped down. "Come, let big sister touch you."

Bai Long darted behind Lin Bai. "Brother Tang Sen, please help me!"

Tang Sen had no choice but to step forward. "Hey, Zhu Baizhe, what are you up to?"

Zhu Baizhe huffed, "You messed up my relationship with Gao Cuilan, and now I have nowhere to go. After much thought, I decided to come with you. Hehe... I can be close to Sister Bai Long on the journey, which is so exciting. And I really like that little girl, Sun Wukong. Hehe... It would be great if I could sleep with her at night."

Tang Sen covered his face. Damn, this guy's words are no different from those of a lecherous middle-aged man. He protected Bai Long like a mother hen in "Eagle Catching Chickens" and said, "Can't you see that Miss Bai Long is troubled? Put away your lecherous behavior; it will only scare her and won't help you at all."

Zhu Baizhe said, "You act like you know a lot."

Tang Sen laughed. "I don't claim to know much about other things, but when it comes to winning girls' hearts, I have thousands of ways. Do you dare to challenge me?"

"Really?" Zhu Baizhe's expression clearly wavered. "Prove it to me."

Tang Sen took out his phone and chuckled. "Proving it is easy. My phone has a blacklist for incoming calls and messages. Try removing the blacklist and see what happens."

Zhu Baizhe took the phone suspiciously. "Removing the blacklist will prove you can win girls' hearts? Don't try to fool me."

Tang Sen said, "Just try it!"

Zhu Baizhe, unlike Sun Wukong who had been trapped for 500 years, was up-to-date with the times. She quickly found the blacklist function and clicked the "Remove Blacklist" button.

"Ding ding ding... You have a new message..."

"Ding ding ding... You have a new message..."

"Ding ding ding... You have a new message..."

...

The phone started ringing wildly, continuously reporting new messages. In just a few minutes, over a hundred messages were received. Zhu Baizhe wiped her sweat. "What's going on?"

Tang Sen said, "Just open one of the messages and see."

Zhu Baizhe had already guessed the content of the messages, but she couldn't resist opening one. It read, "Senior Tang Sen, I'm Bai Ruoling, a first-year economics student at Imperial University. I've sent you many messages, but you never replied. Your phone is always busy. Have you added me to your blacklist? Please, don't treat me like this. I really love you and hope you can give us a chance..." The message was followed by a photo of Bai Ruoling, who was truly beautiful.

Zhu Baizhe almost fell over. "Are you kidding me? Such a pretty girl wants to throw herself at you, and you put her on the blacklist?"

Tang Sen huffed. "She's not a shut-in; who would bother with her?"

"You damn pervert!" Zhu Baizhe couldn't help but roar. "If you don't want her, give her to me! It's a waste of talent."

"You wouldn't be able to handle her even if I gave her to you." Tang Sen sneered. "You don't know how to win girls' hearts; you'll just scare them."

Zhu Baizhe was speechless. She extended a trembling finger and opened the next message. Sure enough, it was similar, with a girl expressing her longing for Tang Sen. It seemed that all the messages were like this.

Zhu Baizhe looked at the list of over a hundred messages and was drenched in sweat. "This... this is insane. Why do so many girls like you?" As she spoke, the message alert sounded again, and another girl sent a new message. Zhu Baizhe gasped and threw the phone at Tang Sen.

Tang Sen caught the phone, quickly selected all the messages, and then added them back to the blacklist. He said solemnly, "Understand now? If you want to compete with me in winning girls' hearts, it's like a mosquito trying to knock down a stone. I can easily beat you even with my hands and feet tied. If you don't want Bai Long and Sun Wukong to dislike you, put away your lecherous behavior and act properly. Maybe they will treat you better."

"That's right..." Bai Long peeked out from behind Tang Sen. "Compared to you, I like Brother Tang Sen more. I don't like people who act so improperly."

Zhu Baizhe suddenly fell silent, as if she had turned to stone. She stood there for a long time, then began to tremble violently. After a long while, she suddenly knelt before Tang Sen and shouted, "Master, please take me as your disciple and teach me how to win girls' hearts. I don't have high expectations; I just want to learn a few tricks to marry one wife. I don't need a huge harem like you."

Damn, those girls in my phone are not my harem; I don't have a harem at all! Tang Sen was drenched in sweat. He had only boasted about having many girls like him to suppress Zhu Baizhe and stop her from harassing Bai Long, but he didn't expect this result. She actually wanted to be his disciple? Is this for real?

Seeing his strange expression, Zhu Baizhe thought Tang Sen was unwilling to agree. She pounced forward and hugged his leg. "Please, take me as your disciple. I'm willing to do anything for you, even face any danger to protect you on your journey. I'll do whatever you ask..."

"Really anything?"

"Yes! I'll do whatever you ask!"

"Alright, starting today, no harassing Wukong or Bai Long."

"Disciple understands!" Zhu Baizhe was overjoyed to know that Tang Sen was willing to take her as a disciple. She hugged his leg and shook it, calling out, "Master, teach me the simplest trick first. What's the first step in winning girls' hearts?"

Tang Sen smiled bitterly and spread his hands. "The first step... cough... is to focus on your appearance. Don't wear those dirty, ragged jeans. Go and change into something more presentable, preferably a suit. Remember, don't buy those cheap suits that look like they're for insurance salesmen. Get a high-end, stylish suit."

"Disciple understands!" Zhu Baizhe jumped up and ran towards the door.

Tang Sen sighed in relief. Damn, I finally managed to fool her, and Miss Bai Long won't be harassed anymore. He suddenly thought of something and looked up. "Hey, Zhu Baizhe, it's the middle of the night with a big moon outside. Where are you going to buy clothes?"

Zhu Baizhe laughed. "No problem, there are 24-hour malls..."

As she spoke, she opened the door and was about to step out when she suddenly froze, as if she had been paralyzed.

Tang Sen was puzzled. "Zhu Baizhe, what are you doing?" He looked towards the door and saw a beautifully dressed, celestial-like woman standing outside, staring straight at Zhu Baizhe. Zhu Baizhe was also staring at the woman.

The two women were separated by the door, looking at each other.

After several seconds, Zhu Baizhe said awkwardly, "Oh, Sister Chang'e, why are you here?"
