Sofia pouted. “I didn’t want to just leave either, but I couldn’t find an excuse to stay in South Link City.


    I’m a shy person, there are certain things that I can’t bring myself to say.”


    Birk nearly fainted. She said somewhat resentfully, “You can’t be shy all the time. Let me give you some


    advice you need to be bold when you meet someone you like! Your mother was also a very beautiful


    woman. There amount of men who tried to win her heart could fill an entire airne! Do you know how


    I managed to get one over them?”


    That was Sofia’s first time hearing such a thing. She looked curiously at her father and asked, “How?


    Tell me, Dad! This is my first time hearing you mention something like that!”


    Birk cleared his throat slightly and said, “Well, the first reason


    is that I’m handsome. Since I’ve beaten more than a third of


    her suitors in terms of looks, there were only two–thirds left of


    thepetition.”


    Sofia looked at Birk’s belly and said with disdain, “Look in the mirror, Dad. Did you think you can fool


    me into believing you’re handsome when you have a beer belly?”


    Birk immediately exined, “Hey, I might be much fatter than I used to be, but I was a very handsome


    guy when I was younger.


    Sofia did not want to argue with Birk on that. “Okay, okay, I


    believe you. You’ve beaten more than a third of the


    Birk smiled and said, “The second thing I did was to keep the contact going. I sent some treasures to


    your mother from time to time, such as spiritual herbs or simr items. I gave her something to look


    forward to and show some affection to her. You do understand that, don’t you?”


    “And then?” Sofia found his exnation somewhat fascinating and was eager to know more.


    Birk immediately smiled and said, “Finally, you need to be shameless. Be as shameless, as bold, and


    as proactive as you can be. With time, you’ll gain the upper edge over all otherpetitors. You


    understand that, don’t you?”

    Sofia frowned. “It seems to me that you’re just being a bootlicker.”


    Birk’s face scrunched up when he heard her remark. “What nonsense are you talking about? How


    could you liken working hard to win someone’s heart to being a bootlicker? Besides, even if you think I


    am a bootlicker, then I wouldn’t be where I am today without doing that!” Birk then put on a serious


    expression and looked at Sofia. He stood up, stretched out his hand, and patted Sofia’s shoulder. “If


    you love someone, you


    shouldn’t be embarrassed to tell them. It’s fine if you end up getting rejected after telling them your true


    feelings. At least you won’t live without regrets.”


    Sofia then nodded approvingly and said, “I understand, Dad. I’ll get some rest for now and leave for


    South Link City


    tomorrow morning.”


    Birk was d to see Sofia’s determination. “Women have it easier when they’re chasing men. I trust


    you’ll do just fine.”

    He then paused for a moment and added, “By the way, seed, you don’t have to ask me for


    permission again. I think highly of Severin, so you have my unequivocal approval!”
