After My Unbothered Persistence Won Over My Ice-Cold Crush, I Faked My Death

Shi Yan thinks he's terribly unlucky. He's a socially anxious person with a rich inner world, and he barely stands out in a crowd. Someone as ordinary as him should have been able to live an ordinary life, but one day, while walking down the street, he was unexpectedly pulled into another world and bound to a System with an accent.

The System left him with one sentence: "Just kiss Fu Yanchuan and you'll go back." Then it vanished.

Shi Yan looked at the aloof top student sitting in the last row, wanting to speak but holding back.

Couldn't there be a more dignified way? This is too much for a socially anxious person!

But to get home, Shi Yan steeled himself.

"Hi, can I kiss you?"

"Hey, it's a lovely day. Want to come out and kiss?"

Online, he came out swinging, but in real life he immediately turned timid. First, he was afraid Fu Yanchuan's fangirls would beat him to death. Second, he was afraid Fu Yanchuan would beat him to death.

So, to outsiders, the two of them weren't even acquaintances.

All the things Shi Yan had sent sank into their chat history, until one day, while he was chatting with a friend, he received a message on WeChat from Fu Yanchuan.

"Don't you like me?"

Shi Yan blinked twice. Like him? When had that happened?

Shi Yan: "Huh?"

Fu Yanchuan deleted the message he'd typed in the chat box: Don't you like me? Why are you chatting so happily with him?

Shi Yan saw that Fu Yanchuan had been typing for a long time and tentatively sent, "Hello?"

A few seconds later, Fu Yanchuan sent one word: "Kiss."

They did kiss eventually, but Shi Yan only grew more troubled. For one thing, Fu Yanchuan was getting clingier by the day. For another, why hadn't he gone home even after kissing him?

One day, the System suddenly came back online after lying dormant. It saw Shi Yan still stubbornly chasing after Fu Yanchuan for kisses and cried out in shock, "What in the world are you doing?!"

Shi Yan looked innocent. "Didn't you say I had to kiss him to go home?"

The System broke down and repeated itself in standard Mandarin. "I said you just needed to get it done, not kiss him, fellow countryman!"

Shi Yan fell silent, then ruthlessly pushed away Fu Yanchuan, who was chasing after another kiss.

-

With the System's help, he successfully returned to the modern world. But before he could enjoy himself for long, the System came to find him again. Stammering, it explained that after Shi Yan left, Fu Yanchuan had gone completely berserk and seriously upset the balance of that world.

Shi Yan sensed trouble. "So?"

The System said, "So you need to win him over again."

Then it added, "Be careful. He's so crazy now that one kiss won't be enough to fix it."
