My name is Jiang Xu, an e-sports anchor, and I have been secretly in love with reporter Shen Zhiyi for two years. I added "puppy" to her on WeChat because she was too aggressive like a puppy during the interview. This was a private joke that only I knew.
During the live ranking tonight, the barrage suddenly exploded. I looked down at my phone and realized that the game screen had switched to the WeChat interface - the top dialog box clearly displayed the word "puppy", and the avatar was Shen Zhiyi's ID photo. The barrage flooded the screen like crazy: "Remarks on the puppy?" "Is this a reporter?" "Is the relationship real?"
My fingers froze. Shen Zhiyi is interviewing other teams at the venue. In two minutes, her work phone will be bombarded with calls, and the editor-in-chief will question the fairness of her report. I turned off the live broadcast and rushed to find her. She was arranging the recorder, and when she raised her head, her eyes changed from confusion to shock to coldness: "What did you note for me?"
"Puppy." I grabbed her wrist, "Now the whole Internet knows, your career-"
She shook me off, but her eyes were red: "That's just right." She took out her phone and posted a Weibo message with a screenshot of my live broadcast, "Reporter Shen Zhiyi is pursuing e-sports player Jiang Xu, and has applied for avoidance from all reports about him."
It was a hot search that night. She wrote: "Remarks are puppies, because I can't hide my preference, nor can I hide my position.
