Although Jeongyeon has suspected that something is going on, the confirmation still comes as a surprise although he got used to the idea pretty quick. After all, his brother has a track record of woman chasing after him just by virtue of his looks alone, so what is so surprising about Sana’s pursuit?

Jeongyeon is curious on his brother’s reaction but looking at his clam face, he can guess that things may not be progressing smoothly. “So have you agreed?”

Tzuyu shakes his head. “No.”

“So you have turned her down?”

“I have rejected her once but she is still trying hard to persuade me.” Thinks that he has already made it clear to her that he doesn't date women whose IQ is under 140, and the fact the stupid brain of that chubby squirrel is far far away from IQ 140. So, basically he had rejected her indirectly and she will get the main point of his message which is he won't date her in this lifetime, right!?

For Jeongyeon, it's still an improvement. Ok, at least there is still a glimmer of hope. “Take it as I’m begging you. Can you please find someone to date? If you continue like this, I worry that you are going to fall sick one day.”

At Tzuyu’s silence, Jeongyeon continues. “If you really cannot find a suitable woman…. it is not impossible if you want to look for a man. I have tested the water with Mom and Dad and they have both said that they will respect any decision you make….”

Tzuyu furrows his brow and uses more strength than he would normally use to dice the vegetable. He uses so much force in fact, that the tip of his knife embeds itself in the chopping board, its shiny, metallic blade giving off a feral glint. At Tzuyu’s glare, Jeongyeon holds up both hands in a conciliatory gesture.

“Ok, ok. I get you. I am not going to be bothered with you anymore. You can date whomever you like.”

As he backed himself out into the living room, Wu Wen thinks back on Qiao Feng’s reply and seems to recall something. He takes out his phone and sends a message to his faraway father: Old Yoo, I think there is hope this time!

Sana decides that Tzuyu needs a crash course in order to play the role she has in mind for him. Good-looking he may be, but the moment he opens his mouth, it will be game over.
Reason!? It is because whenever he opens his mouth, he only talks about things that normal people can't understand.

“You must remember that you are a rich, handsome, ardent boyfriend. With these three qualities, we will definitely slaughter Jung Eunha.”

Tzuyu is sitting on the sofa paying rapt attention. He types something into his laptop. “Rich. Handsome. Ardent.”

Sana nods. “You need not worry about the handsome bit. Let us talk about acting rich.”

“I am rich.”

“Ah? I’m sorry, I have forgotten.” Actually, it is not her fault for overlooking the fact as his lifestyle is really too down-to-earth for a rich man. Still, she needs to work on his appearance and she asks if he owns any watches.

Tzuyu waves his hand. “I have, see?” He proudly shows his watch on his wrist which looks like a power rangers' watch or something.

“I am not referring to this kind of watch which looks like something a college student would wear.”

Tzuyu says soberly. “This is a Light-powered Eco-Drive watch.”

Except for the last word, Sana does not understand a word of what is his talking. “Do you have other watches?”
