Whimsical Chats on Art and Life

(Original Title: 琦圃画艺杂谈)

When she shows what seems like rejection, it might only be the initial resistance. In this apparent refusal lies her true intent. In such moments, don’t grow despondent. Instead, consider it a test, one you’re very much expected to pass.

When a girl’s heart teeters on the edge of affection, how should you respond? Our intense interest mustn’t overstep into suffocating fervor. I believe this is the universal principle we should adhere to.

Imagine pretending ignorance or feigning aloofness—it might just work better. If we handle our expressions with curiosity and a bit of playful skepticism, perhaps we’ll better understand women’s responses. In this theatrical play of hearts, each act shows our interpretations of one another’s intentions.
