Chapter 641 - 380: The Five Traits of the Ideal Man

Less than twenty minutes after Li Peifeng left the office, He Yimeng’s call came through.

The purpose was to question him about what he talked about with Lin Dan, to the point where she was angry with him.

"That’s not right. During the session, Teacher Lin was very nice, answering all my questions and unraveling many puzzles in my heart. Things I couldn’t figure out, she enlightened me in a flash!"

Li Peifeng lamented, "She’s practically my life mentor, a savior in my time of need. I can describe my current mood with a line of poetry: ’All three and five natures awakened, only then did I understand...’

He Yimeng interrupted, "That’s because of work. No matter how annoyed my mentor feels or how much she dislikes you, she wouldn’t show it during work. That’s her professional conduct! She’s a specially-appointed expert at the Capital City Education Commission’s Department of Moral Education, the chairperson of the College Student Psychological Counseling Professional Committee... Among active counselors nationwide, my mentor ranks in the top five! Do you think she’d mix personal feelings with work and verbally attack you?"

"Even if the visitor were a rapist or a serial killer, she would try her best to empathize and understand, helping them analyze motivating factors driving their crimes, providing comfort to help them change... Regardless of their past, personality, or morality, my mentor treats all clients equally. In her eyes, they are people caught in life’s spirals, bearing immense psychological pressure due to external factors, and you’re no exception!"

Moved, Li Peifeng couldn’t help but exclaim, "Amitabha, Teacher Lin is compassionate!"

"Stop joking around. My mentor said you shouldn’t go to her for counseling anymore. She’s quite upset."

"Is that necessary?"

Li Peifeng felt regret. He wanted to chat with Lin Dan once a month, but now she wouldn’t meet him?

However, thinking back on their session conversations, Li Peifeng could understand and felt a twinge of guilt. "How about I buy her a gift another day to apologize to Teacher Lin?"

"No, please don’t bother her anymore, or I might not be able to graduate. Will you give me my diploma then?"

Lin Dan’s warning still echoed in He Yimeng’s ears. She’d never seen her mentor so angry after a session. No matter how unique the visitor was, even if they were aggressive or abusive, Lin Dan would remain unfazed. Why did she choose to block Li Peifeng immediately after his session?

If Li Peifeng goes again, will I have to defer graduation? Terrifying!

"Be honest with me, what exactly did you talk about with her?"

Actually, Li Peifeng felt he didn’t discuss much; he just asked Lin Dan to help him think of ways to make Zhao Qingge truly join his harem.

How to foster harmony in the harem?

What tricks could bring in Lin Dan’s protégé, He Yimeng?

How to ensure harmonious coexistence in a family of six?

On the day the girls’ parents find out, what method would Li Peifeng use to resolve it...

Of course, he didn’t ask so directly; he was more roundabout.

Lin Dan didn’t provide answers to these questions. Instead, she asked Li Peifeng to share his views and, with a few words, cut through appearances to reveal the core difficulties he faced.

For example, Lin Dan deconstructed that all his relationship issues boiled down to his inability to be monogamous, so they shelved that and looked at other compensatory aspects like emotional value, passion, intimate companionship, closer communication, material value... After all, love needs to be maintained.

Li pondered deeply, gradually finding clarity in his thoughts.

Emotional value is making someone happy, which I’m good at!

Passion is all about being sensual, my strong suit!

Intimate companionship requires more time spent together; close communication is using "heart-to-heart connection" as a cheat; material value refers to the potions he previously gifted, and there will definitely be more in the future, along with money...

In fact, ancient people already summarized the five major elements that attract women: wealth, strength, intelligence, charm, and humor.

He had the capability to address all these! Moreover, for him, dealing with these seemed quite simple, not that difficult, just requiring a little more time, but luckily, he didn’t need much sleep.

Damn, I’m so suited for running a harem; I’m practically a little genius at it!

Li Peifeng felt delighted, Lin Dan found it confusing and distressing.

Lin Dan originally meant to make Li Peifeng aware of reality’s harshness, that his envisioned future was impossible. Just the time and physical demands would give him a headache.

Yet Li Peifeng, unfazed, said his unusual talents and good health made it all feasible, adding, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility!

Is he sacrificing his life to make it work?

Unfortunately, the kind-hearted Teacher Lin earnestly told Li Peifeng his body couldn’t handle five women, yet he shyly responded that he’d manage even with five more...

Youngsters are so naive and ignorant of the heavens and earth!!

Afterward, Lin Dan tried to steer the conversation towards positivity, asking if Li Peifeng ever tried one-on-one dating.

He said he had, and it was boring compared to this!

Nonsense, Lin Dan tried awakening his conscience, asking if he’d considered how his actions might hurt those girls.

Li Peifeng, full of feelings, said that as long as one lives, harm is unavoidable; life is long suffering, and short is life...

Oh, this little rascal is truly infuriating!

Finally, Lin Dan suppressed her anger, calmly playing her trump card: the ultimate question unresolved despite all their discussions - if the girls’ parents found out Li Peifeng was juggling multiple relationships, what then?
