"Your boyfriend is Dao Ming Si, right? He's a funny guy. He punched me when I suggested introducing a girl to him. Is he mad or something? You'd better stay away from him. I'm better than him. If you're bored after breaking up with him, come to me."

"We men should enjoy ourselves to the fullest. For me, I wouldn't give up better chances just for Xiao You. Don't you agree? Though you're dating Shan Cai now, you still feel bored at times, right?"
