Ma Qunbo was busy refuting: “What nonsense! You’re being too careful, Xiao Le!”
“Of course, it’s possible that you’re gay, but compared to that possibility, I tend to lean towards another possibility – take a look at the watch on your left hand. I happen to recognize that watch, it’s an Italian ‘Zhong Ai’ series limited edition men’s watch designed by the famous Italian designer Gabriele. I think you wouldn’t just wear it for fun, would you?”
Ma Qunbo scratched his head: “That doesn’t necessarily mean I have a partner, but how did you know I’m about to get married instead of already being married or still in the hot-blooded stage of romance?”
“Because there’s a faint mark on your left middle finger where a ring used to be, which suggests you’re already engaged.”
Qian Zele immediately lifted up Ma Qunbo’s hand and saw the faint mark.
He laughed and said: “Ha! It turns out to be this way! You’re wearing a couple’s watch, and there’s a faint mark on your middle finger from wearing a ring. If I didn’t know beforehand, I could still guess that you’re about to get married.”
Everyone was speechless, and they all looked at Qian Zele with disdain.
Zhushi Jiu continued to laugh: “And, I can roughly guess that your fiancée is related to this Miss Ji, either as a relative or a friend?”
He pointed at Ji Hui.
Everyone was shocked to the point of numbness.
How did he do it?
Before anyone asked, Zhushi Jiu explained: “Earlier, when your female companion was trying to get close to you, I noticed that…”
“I’m Ji Hui.”
“Miss Ji was intentionally or unintentionally looking towards you, and you also intentionally paid attention to Miss Ji’s reaction every time you dodged your female companion’s advances.”
[Scene change]
“I had guessed that you two were a couple, but Miss Ji wasn’t wearing a couple’s watch, and there were no marks on her fingers from wearing a ring. It’s also impossible for her to completely ignore your female companion’s advances and not react at all.”
“So, I tend to guess that your fiancée is related to Miss Ji. You’re afraid that if you get too close to your female companion, Miss Ji will notice and report back to your fiancée, which is why you’re intentionally rejecting your female companion’s advances.”
Ma Qunbo’s face turned red as he hastily explained: “No, no, I’m really trying to be virtuous! I’m not doing this because I’m afraid of Ji Hui…”
“Shut up! If it weren’t for my sister specifically asking me to keep an eye on you, you’d probably be surrounded by girls by now!”
Ma Qunbo felt both embarrassed and guilty, and quickly looked away.
Needless to say, this was also one of the pieces of information Zhushi Jiu had gathered last week.
“Hey, can I try to deduce something about you?”
Ji Hui curiously stretched out her hand towards Zhushi Jiu.
“Do you have to hold hands to deduce? You can hold my hand too.”
Zhushi Jiu stretched out his hand and grasped Ji Hui’s hand.
It was very smooth and tender, but Zhushi Jiu didn’t dwell on it. He was currently the most direct and straightforward steel straight man in the world, and even holding a girl’s hand wouldn’t give him any romantic thoughts.
He quickly let go.
Ji Hui asked with a smile: “Can’t you hold it for a bit longer?”
“No need. I don’t hold hands to deduce. But a person’s hands do contain various types of information. Holding hands can give me a more direct sense of their hand conditions.”
Zhushi Jiu smiled.
“For example, when you held my hand just now, the force of your grip was slightly stronger than normal. I think your fingers have received some degree of training.”
The scene fell silent.
The other girls blushed and turned away, while the guys didn’t know what to say.
Ji Hui was confused by everyone’s reaction.
Zhushi Jiu noticed everyone’s reaction and was also puzzled for a moment.
[Scene change]
However, Zhushi Jiu soon put his doubts aside and continued with his “deduction”: “Your footsteps are light and floating, and when you walk, it’s clear that other parts of your body haven’t been trained. So, I think you haven’t intentionally trained your finger strength. You might have learned a musical instrument for a period of time.”
Everyone finally realized, and the atmosphere returned to normal.
Each person hid their inner thoughts and acted as if nothing was wrong, continuing to listen to Zhushi Jiu’s deductions.
Ji Hui’s eyes sparkled with interest, asking: “Which musical instrument requires finger strength?”
“The piano.”
“Why?”
Zhushi Jiu suddenly smiled.
“No reason.”
He winked at Ji Hui.
“Uh…if I had to say, I imagined you playing the piano in my head, and I think you’d look very beautiful doing it.”
Everyone in their hearts exclaimed: “What the hell!”
Ji Hui’s face also turned red.
To be honest, if someone usually said something like this to her, she might give them a disdainful look and turn away. But Zhushi Jiu’s abilities were truly exceptional, and this high-tech flirting technique was impossible for ordinary people to imitate.
Zhushi Jiu’s gaze towards Ji Hui was very gentle, and his entire person exuded a refined and charming aura, making Ji Hui’s face grow hot and unable to look away.
“Big bro, you’re too awesome!”
At this time, someone threw their arms around Zhushi Jiu’s neck.
Sun Hao Ran.
Zhushi Jiu looked at Sun Hao Ran.
Sun Hao Ran had a forced smile on his face, and although he was saying words of praise, his eyes didn’t have any positive emotions.
[Scene change]
Zhushi Jiu finally confirmed it.
“This brother…”
“I’m Sun Hao Ran.”
“Sun bro, do you like Ji Hui?”
Everyone was stunned.
Sun Hao Ran hastily let go of Zhushi Jiu’s neck.
“What nonsense are you talking about?!”
Ji Hui was also extremely shocked: “What? Sun Zi, you like me…?”
She forced herself to look elegant when saying the last part.
“Bullshit! How could I possibly have feelings for you?!”
[Password]
Everyone looked at Zhushi Jiu.
Zhushi Jiu only smiled knowingly, without saying a word.
Everyone understood.
This great deductive master had again deduced something through subtle clues, and now they were all looking at Sun Hao Ran with suspicion, as if saying “You’re hiding your secret love for that violent woman?”
“It’s not true, I didn’t…!”
Sun Hao Ran’s face turned bright red from everyone’s strange gazes.
Zhushi Jiu also kindly mediated: “Everyone, don’t misunderstand. That wasn’t a deduction.”
“Yes, it wasn’t.” Qian Zele said with deep meaning.
Ma Qunbo nodded: “Ah, yeah, yeah.”
Wang Chong: “Hehehe…he smiled awkwardly, looking at Sun Hao Ran with deep meaning.”

Ji Hui felt like the female lead in a manga, being fought over by two men, and her usual straightforward personality became gentle and feminine, using a sweet and girly tone.
“Sorry, Sun Hao Ran, you’re a good person.”
—Sun Hao Ran’s inner heart received a million points of damage.
Zhushi Jiu smiled as he watched everyone’s interactions.
He used the simplest and most effective method to quickly close the distance with these people, successfully integrating into this group.
They were all new, harmless tools.
After Fu Ge and Du Fei, he began to bully these tools again.
