I Dated a Landmine Guy Online, and Now He Won't Leave Me Alone

[Third-person narration]

Heartless girl × deceptively sweet troublemaker

Identity reveal | Tense flirtation | Happy ending

Guan Yalin fell for the same cunning man twice.

Once, when she was down on her luck, she fell in love with a kindred soul through an online romance.

Once, while she was between relationships and looking for fun, she fell for a beautiful body.

Only later did she discover they were the same person.

But by then, it was too late. She was already pinned beneath him.

And on the very night his secret came to light, he still looked utterly innocent as he pressed her against the headboard, shamelessly asking:

“Guanguan, you said kissing with a tongue piercing felt good, so I put it back in. Want to try?”

As his red lips moved, a silver stud stained with a trace of blood flickered in and out of view, like a silver moon rising from a sea of flesh.

She turned away in resistance.

He took the earlobe with its two piercings into his mouth.

The tongue stud was icy cold, and every touch sent a jolt through her.

“If you don’t want to, that’s fine. We can try something else. Whatever you like, I can give you.”

Just like the night she blocked him and deleted her account. She’d said she liked obedient men, men she could control. So he took out every piercing and presented himself to her.

He could pretend to be whatever she wanted for the rest of his life.

Physical pain is an absolutely real sensation. When it happens, it makes you truly feel alive.

That was why Zhou Xiren was so fond of piercings.

Until he met Guan Yalin, he became addicted to the “pain” she inflicted on him.

Her hot-and-cold push and pull, her wanton ways, her unpredictable moods…

They awakened in him a desire to conquer and destroy.

Just as he conquered each stud, he wanted to destroy his own body and turn Guan Yalin into the deepest piercing embedded in him.

-

Work was stressful, and I needed to blow off steam. As luck would have it, I matched with a man on a dating app.

He was talkative, bold, and full of personality. His toned body was decorated with silver studs like a starry sky, and he was the typical carefree second-generation rich kid from Beijing’s elite circle.

A man like that was easy to flirt with, no strings attached.

As we got to know each other, he even volunteered to count the number of piercings on his body for me on camera.

We never saw each other’s full faces.

But one night, after I got drunk at a work dinner and a male colleague took me home, he said he’d answered a call for me. The caller claimed to be my boyfriend.

I’d never given Kiko my phone number,

let alone said I wanted to date him.

The next day, I blocked him without hesitation and deleted the app. I swore I’d never flirt online again.

Then, six months later, a well-connected new hire parachuted into the company.

He had smooth black hair and a gentle, reserved personality, and he always wore a relaxed, refined cardigan that gave him a very husbandly air.

He also had a proper, dignified name: Zhou Xiren.

My boss assigned me to help with his work.

I resisted with all my might.

Because he had the exact same mole on his chin as Kiko.

After being forced to interact with him, I became certain they couldn’t possibly be the same person.

He was supposed to be well-connected, yet other people bullied him instead.

Never said no ❌, always ready to help ✔, often worked overtime 👌,

he was gentle to the very core.

How could he possibly be that troublemaker from online? ❔

"After Confessing to Three Heartthrobs at Once"

Su Yayue loses a game of truth or dare and draws the penalty: “Confess to three people of the opposite sex at once.”

Under pressure, Su Yayue picks the three people on her list who are least likely to accept her confession.

No. 1 is her sworn enemy, a handsome, muscular athlete. They’ve disliked each other since childhood, and once swore that they’d rather date a pig than each other. There’s no way he’ll take her confession seriously.

No. 2 is her adopted brother, with whom she almost shared a household registration. They aren’t related by blood, but they’re as close as real siblings. He’s cold to everyone but endlessly indulgent toward her, so he’s sure to forgive his dear little sister for a harmless joke.

No. 3 is the boy she had a crush on in high school, once the dream guy of every girl in school. Just before she planned to confess at graduation, Su Yayue learned he already had someone in his heart, and her hopes were dashed. Years later, she no longer likes him, but this is the perfect chance to put that old regret to rest. Besides, the campus heartthrob is famous for being handsome and kind. He’d never blame her for messing with him.

With the bets placed, Su Yayue sent all three men the same perfunctory, copy-and-pasted confession.

After sending it, she planted her hands on her hips and gloated to her friends. The next second, almost simultaneously, three replies lit up on her screen

“OK”

“Sure”

“I’m honored”

“…”

Excuse me?

Everyone present was stunned.

Su Yayue was so shocked that she quickly copied and pasted a detailed explanation to all three men. Her friends stopped egging her on, put down their drinks, and quietly watched the drama unfold.

But she never expected that after her explanation

No. 1 called her in a fury and demanded, “Are you trying to take it back?”

No. 2 started a video call. His tone was calm, but carried a weight of authority: “Which bar are you at? I’ll come pick you up myself.”

No. 3 didn’t call or video chat. He replied with a “Got it” hand gesture.

At last, a normal person! Su Yayue was so moved she nearly burst into tears. The next second, the campus heartthrob sent an utterly shocking message:

“I know I’m not good enough for you.”
