The Number One Star in the Interstellar Era [BL]

Chapter 493 ANOTHER SLEEPLESS NIGHT

WULFRIC had been surfing the StarNet for hours now. He had been searching on the same topic since he entered his suite.

[How to win someone's heart], [Tips to make someone like you romantically], [Ways to create a deeper emotional connection], [How to express feelings of attraction without being pushy], [Fostering trust and intimacy with someone special]—these were the things he's been searching.

The results he got were mostly articles on building trust and emotional connection, tips on being a good listener, different romantic gestures and gift ideas, and other similar things. It didn't really help him. Because all of it just seemed so artificial. Probably because the articles were made with a certain purpose and not really for giving genuine advice that could help people with love troubles.

Like him.

So, why was our dear Wulf doing this? Let's go back a couple of hours ago.

=====

Wulfric blinked, slowly understanding what Aster just said. When it finally registered in his brain, his eyes widened and he was just filled with unexpected joy.

"You mean... you're giving me a chance?" he asked, just to make sure.

Aster nodded. "I'm sorry if this is the only answer I can give right now."

"No, no, it's more than enough," Wulfric quickly said. "You don't have to apologize for something you can't control. Besides, from here on out, it's my job to change your mind until your answer matched mine."

Aster seemed to find that amusing because of how his eyes crinkled like a crescent moon. "What if it would take years for that to happen?"

"It doesn't matter. We have plenty of that, a few hundred of years more, in fact."

"Even if you have to wait for a hundred of years?"

"Yes," he said, with no hesitation. "I won't stop waiting. Of course, I will also put in every effort I can to make you fall for me while I do that."

Aster chuckled. His obsidian black eyes softening as he gazed at him. "I look forward to it." The other raised his hand and pinched his cheek. "Surprise me, okay?"

"You can definitely look forward to it," Wulfric said, his eyes brimming with determination.

"Don't worry, I will," Aster said. "So, want to eat dinner with me?"

=====

After Aster's invitation, Wulfric tried to help him prepare dinner. But that only ended up with him breaking some plates. When they finished eating, he volunteered to clean the dishes, but he forgot that almost all households had a dishwasher that could do that for them.

His first try to impress Aster had immediately gone awry. He truly wanted to bury himself at that moment. But it was a good thing that he had thick skin, so he was still able to stay to have tea.

Now that he's back at his suite, the first thing he did was to search the StarNet for advice. Not the smartest thing to do, but he didn't really have any choice. Because his only other choice was Hildred. And he kind of had enough of that guy's advice.

Knowing the other, he would definitely just make fun of him. Since they already had that talk yesterday, he would have probably guessed that he was actually talking about himself and not some imaginary 'friend', if he hadn't already guessed it.

If Wulfric asked him some relationship advice, it would be like giving the other the green light to tease him. And he didn't really need that right now.

So, this was the next best thing. Asking online for advice. Lame, yes, but what else could he do? He's in a bit of a desperate situation.

Since he couldn't find anything directly on the StarNet, he decided to visit an anonymous forum site and ask there.

[How to make my friend fall in love with me?]–He typed that as a title and then followed it with the description of his situation. Like how Aster was willing to give him a chance. It didn't take long for replies to roll in under his post.

[Now that this friend of yours is open to giving it a shot, just be yourself and let the relationship grow naturally. Don't force anything!]

[Remember, they already like you enough to give you a chance. Be genuine, and just let the characteristics that they liked shine through.]

[LOL asking something like this here, you're probably some loser. Are you sure the other person really gave you a chance or was it just your delusion?]

-? [Shut up! You're the loser here for commenting like that.]

-? [Right? This is an anonymous site where people who didn't have anyone to ask about asked their questions. If you're calling the original poster a loser, you being here also means that you're one.]

[Build on the friendship you already have and let the romance bloom naturally.]

[Congrats on the green light! Be patient and understanding, and let this relationship evolve at its own pace.]

Wulfric furrowed his brows when he read the replies. Everyone was just telling him essentially the same thing—to let things flow as naturally as possible. Which would also directly translate to not doing anything.

But how could he not do anything? He was all for the natural thing, but nothing would also change if he became passive. Besides, if he's passive, how exactly could he surprise Aster?

He sighed and was just about to leave the site when a new reply caught his attention.

[I'm also a doofus when it came to romance. So, I suggest you read a lot of romance novels. People might say it's stupid. But based on experience, they're really not. I got plenty of good advice from reading romance novels. And with their help, I'm now in a relationship with my special someone.]

Wulfric read that. He felt that it was indeed stupid, reading romance novels. But even as he thought that, he found himself replying under that comment.

[Can you give me recommendations?]

It seemed that this would be another sleepless night for our dear Wulf.
