"Eh?"

Bernard was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand what Ryan meant.

"Just commit suicide." Ryan repeated in a calm tone.

"Wait a minute!" Bernard waved his arms hurriedly, "Are you kidding me, Ryan?"

Ryan imitated Bernard's tone just now: "My good brother has made a choice. What can I do? I can only accompany him through thick and thin."

Bernard froze as if he was under a petrification spell. He looked at Cedric expectantly, but found that his brother's eyes were full of eagerness. It seemed that as long as Ryan gave an order, Cedric would immediately forget about it. Friend, sacrifice yourself to heaven.

He sighed sadly, feeling that the boat of friendship was teetering on the rocks.

Bernard gritted his teeth and said, "What should I do? As long as I can save Qiu Zhang for Cedric, I won't hesitate even if you strip me naked and hang me in the auditorium."

Ryan's eyes seemed to light up, and he said in a cheerful tone, "This is a good idea!"

Bernard immediately shrank to the corner of the table like a frightened little animal. He said in a panic: "You don't really plan to do this, do you? Can Qiu Zhang be saved in this way?"

"This has no direct effect on restoring Senior Qiuzhang." Ryan shook his head, "However, this can teach you a profound lesson, so that you can try not to make mistakes in the following steps. Rounding off is equivalent to making a huge contribution. contribution.”

"Am I such an unreliable person?" Bernard's tone was weak. He looked at Cedric, who was looking more and more uncomfortable, and spoke in a delicate tone, "Cedric, good brothers should trust each other. Yes, right?"

Cedric struggled for a moment, as if he was undergoing a huge torture of conscience, but in the end he turned away in shame.

"Cedric..." Bernard felt that the boat of friendship was drifting away.

"Okay, I'm not joking anymore." Ryan's tone became serious, "However, I think it's better to retain the right to hang you in the auditorium to prevent you from causing any trouble later."

Bernard avoided Ryan's gaze with flickering eyes.

"The first step, Senior Bernard, is for you to come forward and apologize to Senior Qiu Zhang." Ryan knocked on the table, "Remember, you need to take all the responsibilities on yourself. It is your fault anyway."

"What if Qiu Zhang refuses to see me?" Bernard asked.

"Just go find Senior Sister Marietta." Ryan knocked on the table again, "Remember, at this step, you must come forward completely in your own name, not to say a good word for Cedric."

Bernard immediately raised his hand: "If I don't say good things about Cedric, what should I say?"

Ryan glanced at him: "You only need to say bad things about yourself. Especially how you encouraged Senior Cedric to go find Marietta for information."

"What's the use of this?" Bernard shrank his neck.

"Transfer the conflict." Ryan said, "Attract Qiu Zhang's resentment to you, senior, so that she can give senior Cedric greater tolerance."

Bernard grinned.

"Senior, you are even willing to be hung from the ceiling of the auditorium." Ryan smiled half-heartedly, "You won't even agree to this little thing, right?"

"I will do it," Bernard said sadly.

"If the first step is successful, then proceed to the second step." Lane said, "Wait."

"Wait?" Cedric smiled bitterly, "How long do I have to wait?"

"Wait until the Quidditch match." Ryan laughed. "This period of time is a buffer zone for emotions. You have to at least wait until Senior Qiuzhang's anger subsides. You know, it is difficult to reason when people are angry."

Cedric sighed. He was extremely anxious now, but he had to admit that Ryan was right.

"Then there's step three," Ryan said. "You have to take advantage of the Quidditch game."

"I don't know if I can perform well in this state," Cedric said.

"It's not important." Ryan said in his heart. Anyway, if nothing happens, Harry Potter will end the game within 5 minutes.

He knocked on the table, grabbing their attention.

"The important thing is your attitude. If you lose, you must be downcast." Ryan said, "If you win, you can't be happy. You have to put on a face that even if you win the game, you are still depressed because of the loss of Qiu." Senior Sister Zhang cannot be happy."

Bernard nodded immediately: "I understand, I just want to pretend to be pitiful, right?"

Ryan glanced at him sideways and said, "I think Senior Cedric doesn't need to pretend now. As long as he shows his true feelings, it's enough."

"I know." Cedric took note of Ryan's words.

"If everything goes well, then step four is to continue waiting," Lane said.

"We have to wait again?" Bernard had forgotten the heavy atmosphere just now, and he began to be attracted by Ryan's plans.

"Of course, we have to wait until Senior Qiu Zhang softens her attitude." Ryan nodded.

"How do I know her attitude has softened?" Cedric finally regained his confidence a little.

Ryan glanced at Cedric speechlessly, and he could only teach her step by step: "Wait until you appear in front of her and she no longer deliberately avoids you."

Cedric's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly.

"Then the fifth step is, Senior Cedric, you personally invite Senior Qiu Zhang." Ryan said, "Invite her sincerely and without any delay."

Bernard slapped his thigh: "Wonderful, this will make Qiu Zhang change his mind."

Miao, you big-headed ghost.

Ryan rolled his eyes and said, "It's still early, but this is the most critical step, because if Senior Qiu Zhang refuses, then Senior Cedric, just give up on this idea and just be an ordinary friend." .”

Cedric immediately became worried.

"If Senior Sister Qiu Zhang agrees, then go to step six." Ryan ignored Cedric's pale face, "Completely confess everything to Senior Sister Qiu Zhang and tell her your true inner thoughts - how you misunderstood and why it developed to this point. This is the point.”

"Then what's the point of my sacrifice?" Bernard shouted immediately.

Ryan frowned and looked at him and said, "Of course it makes sense. If you didn't attract firepower and share the emotions, the next steps would be unnecessary."

"Then Cedric doesn't have to confess to Cho Chang," Bernard said.

"Senior, emotions and reason are two different things." Ryan sighed, "Your role is to channelize emotions, but this does not mean that Senior Qiu Zhang's reason has also been channeled away by you."

He knocked on the table and laughed: "Senior Qiu Zhang is a Ravenclaw. And, don't you know it yet? What she is angry about now is not that Senior Cedric dated Marietta, but that you actually Do not trust her and doubt her innocence.”

Cedric's face turned pale: "Do I still have to tell her my suspicions about Qiu Zhang?"

"It's very important to be honest, senior. You did have doubts and you did question Senior Qiu Zhang, didn't you?" Ryan said, "It's useless to avoid the question. This will only leave a thorn in your relationship forever. .”

"But, can this really win her back?" Cedric asked with a wry smile, "I suspect that as soon as I say it, she will be angry again."

Ryan patted Cedric's shoulder painfully: "Senior, you are hopeless."

Cedric glanced at Ryan confusedly.

"Can't you put it more tactfully?" Ryan sighed tiredly. He put his palms on his chest and recited affectionately: "Oh, Qiu, do you remember that afternoon by the black lake? Hogwart was reflected on the lake. Everything is so beautiful in the castle here; do you remember us chasing the Golden Snitch together on the Quidditch pitch? That was the happiest moment in my life; and in the library on the weekend, you sat quietly opposite me, Reading the Potions book while I was writing a thesis on Transfiguration, I really wanted time to stop at that moment forever. These memories are so beautiful, but without you, they have lost their luster..."

Cedric jotted down notes.

Ryan controlled his tone to become sad: "I'm just saying this to tell you that you are irreplaceable to me. I'm afraid of losing you, just like I'm afraid of losing my own soul. I'm sorry, but I So doubt you because I really, really can’t imagine life without you.”

Bernard clapped his hands.

Ryan's tone returned to calm: "Senior Cedric, are you enlightened?"

Cedric looked up in reverence.

"Then the seventh step, Senior Cedric..."

Ryan raised the corner of his mouth:

"Accept the final judgment of Senior Aiuchang!"
