Shen Qinghuan, a sophomore girl, was so angry that her grandfather urged her to get married that she posted "rent a boyfriend" on the campus forum.
The boy who came to apply was named Gu Huaizhi, a freshman majoring in computer science. His white shirt was washed until it turned white, his ears were red to the base of his neck, and he spilled milk tea with shaking hands.
He said: "Senior, how much do you charge for kissing?"
She thought the person she rented was a tool, but she didn't expect it to be a pure and loyal dog.
He said: "Holding hands adds 50, hugging adds 100, kissing... Adds 200?"
The contract was signed, the play was performed, and Grandpa was satisfied.
But as he continued to act, he looked at her more and more seriously, and the days she waited for him to come became longer and longer.
He worked hard to raise money for his mother's medical expenses; in order to help him, she secretly did market research and stayed up late to revise plans.
They worked side by side in the library, made a promise in the snow, and saved fifty-three tickets on the high-speed rail in a different place.
He said: "Qing Huan, when the business is successful, I will marry you."
She said: "Okay. I'll wait for you."
This is a story about contract, companionship and two-way running.
From pretending to be a couple to truly loving each other, from campus to workplace, from one person to two people.
Fifty-three tickets, two years apart, and a desperate reunion.
"Gu Huaizhi, do you know? The most right thing I ever did was to post that post."
"Me too. Clicked apply."
