"The Tulip Duke Legend" is a melodramatic romance novel about an obscure individual who, by chance, encounters a royal princess and eventually becomes a duke.
Typically, this type of book is a favorite among girls.
I hadn't expected Thompson, at such a young age, to enjoy this kind of stuff.
As Thompson was copying down each character, noticing Dean's strange gaze, he rolled his eyes and said, "I only read these books to have more to talk about with female classmates."
"But before, you couldn't even find a girlfriend."
"Yes, I've found it weird too. They seemed to enjoy chatting with me, but they all ended up becoming my close female confidantes. That is, until I followed your advice and finally managed to win them over."
"Them?"
"Yeah, why else do you think I got beaten up today? Dean, you only taught me how to win over women, but not how to deal with several of them at once, especially when they clash!"
Dean was thoroughly impressed.
