The Landlady was first startled, then she sized up the seemingly honest, tall boy, and let out a disdainful snort.
"Heh, young man, I'm an old woman, almost 40. How can I be associated with the word 'young'? You're really good at saying such things."
Regardless of gender, anyone who is praised will feel a little happy inside.
But Vanessa Green was a mature woman who couldn't be more mature, and with the excellent assets of owning several buildings, she had seen all kinds of men over the past decade.
Even if she was praised for being young and beautiful, no matter how happy she was inside, she wouldn't show it.
She wasn't some naive girl from the depths of the mountains who could be easily swayed by such low-level sweet talk.
"What should I do…."
Feeling the beautiful woman's obvious displeasure in her tone, Jason White, whose language function was already disordered when facing the opposite sex, immediately started to sweat profusely.
Sure enough, women really consider the issue of age to be very important!
Just at this critical moment, three virtual text options suddenly appeared before Jason White's eyes.
1: [You're almost 40? That's amazing, I'd be dead by that age!]
2: [Not old at all, you're still too young to fight with me in the future!]
3: [Really, older sister, time does not defeat beauty. What you've aged is your years, but what's beautiful is you!]
Not only that, the blurry heart icon that was previously above the cashier girl's head appeared again!
However, this heart was not pink but transparent, with the number 1 next to it, and a faint, almost imperceptible red glow within the heart.
Jason White rubbed his eyes in disbelief, then looked sharply at the Landlady's graceful and charming figure.
Those few lines of text and the transparent heart were still there; they hadn't disappeared!
As a web novel author, how could Jason White not know about such things?
This was definitely the golden finger that helped the protagonist reach the pinnacle of his life!
[Host, please make the correct answer as soon as possible. There will be a reward for a correct choice.]
After the electronic metallic voice sounded in Jason White's ear, Jason White finally believed that he had indeed been chosen by such a sci-fi product!
As for these three answer options, no normal person could choose incorrectly.
"Really, older sister, time does not defeat beauty. Older sister, what you've aged are your years, but what's beautiful is you!"
With the omnipotent system assisting him, Jason White felt a great sense of confidence.
When he said these words, he was noticeably less nervous and shy than before.
However, saying such somewhat ambiguous words to a woman he had just met, Jason White was still a bit unaccustomed to it, and he nervously observed Vanessa Green's reaction.
Vanessa Green looked at Jason White expressionlessly, then shook her head slightly, appearing nonchalant:
"You wear glasses and seem quite refined and honest, but I didn't expect you to be so glib. Are all young people like you now? Praising everyone you meet?"
Under Vanessa Green's aggressive scrutiny, Jason White couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
Could it be that he really chose incorrectly? Why did she seem not very happy?
Jason White quickly scanned the first two options again, only then confirming that he had absolutely not chosen the wrong answer.
If he had chosen the first two options to answer, let alone renting a room, he might not even be able to leave this room.
[Ding! Vanessa Green's favorability towards the host has increased by 2 points, currently 3 points. Please continue to work hard!]
According to the system's prompt, Jason White suddenly realized that the heart number above Vanessa Green's head had changed from 1 to 3.
A faint red ripple of light had also been injected into the transparent heart, exactly like a love cultivation game.
Since the favorability increased by 2 points, it meant that his chosen answer was absolutely correct.
But why did she not seem very happy? Could it be that she was saying one thing but meaning another?
More importantly, what should he answer next?
Just then, the system options appeared again!
1: [Haha, you saw through me, older sister. But I'm not like this with everyone; it's only because of you that I speak this way.]
2: [I really think you're quite young, you feel about the same age as my mother.]
3: [Older sister, I really think you look quite young. Your current age is the best age for a woman, full of charm, like a blooming flower. You also look similar to those young women, it's when the flower is blooming most vigorously.]
Facing these three options, Jason White, who had a relatively low understanding of verbal communication, was somewhat hesitant.
But upon closer thought, the first option sounded like a confession, and the other party might misunderstand his intentions.
The second option was definitely not good either; who praises a woman by saying she's as young as his own mother?
On the contrary, the third option perfectly followed up on what he had just said.
Jason White also genuinely thought the Landlady was quite beautiful, just a bit older.
Don't some men just like older sisters like her? Saying it wouldn't be too much flattery either.
After a moment of thought, Jason White smiled sincerely:
"Older sister, I really think you look quite young. Your current age is the best age for a woman, full of charm, like a blooming flower. You also look similar to those young women, it's when the flower is blooming most vigorously."
Vanessa Green was visibly startled by Jason White's infinitely ambiguous yet extremely polite compliment.
Looking at Jason White's sincere and honest smile, Vanessa Green's pretty face immediately flushed slightly. She feigned disdain and rolled her eyes at Jason White, then tentatively asked:
"Alright, alright, saying so many nice things, you're not trying to get me to lower the rent, are you?"
1: [You found out, older sister. I'm having financial difficulties lately, could the rent be a bit less?]
2: [I'm just telling the truth, older sister, you really are very young. If the two of us go out shopping, people will definitely mistake us for siblings.]
3: [Shouldn't it be reduced? You dare to charge me a thousand a month for this desolate place?]
"No, no, the rent is what it is."
Jason White replied earnestly:
"I'm just telling the truth, older sister, you really are very young. If the two of us go out shopping, people will definitely mistake us for siblings."
[Ding! Vanessa Green's favorability towards the host has increased by 3 points, currently 6 points. Please continue to work hard!]
Vanessa Green waved her hand, her face flushed, and her voice and demeanor were noticeably weaker:
"You, young man, really don't blush when you talk. You often use these words to trick young girls, don't you?"
"No, older sister, I'm still single, and I really think you're quite young. If…"
"Alright, alright."
Vanessa Green was somewhat unable to parry Jason White's direct and ambiguous remarks, and she complained with a hint of shyness:
"Are you here for a blind date or to rent a room? Are you signing the contract or not?"
"Sign, sign, sign."
Jason White agreed repeatedly and followed Vanessa Green into the room to sign the contract.
The moment Vanessa Green turned around, Jason White clearly saw the slight upward curve of her lips.
