An Honest Office Drone's Online Romance Goes Off the Rails

When Shen Xi was a student, he was an ordinary, honest kid. After starting work, he naturally became an ordinary, honest wage slave.

One day, his friend and coworker, Lily, approached Shen Xi and asked him for a favor.

She said indignantly that the younger boyfriend she'd met online a while ago had turned out to be gay. He'd not only tricked her emotionally, but had also swindled her out of over a hundred thousand yuan.

Lily asked him to pretend to be gay and date the scumbag. She wanted the jerk to know what it felt like to be deceived.

Shen Xi hesitated. "Lily, I... I don't think I can do it."

"Of course you can, Shen Xi. You have no idea how incredible your face and voice are," Lily said firmly.

After Lily tried every way to persuade him, Shen Xi could only grit his teeth and give it a shot.

After a few days of training, Shen Xi pressed the voice-message button. "Big brother, I saw you playing basketball today. You were... so handsome."

The single sentence made Shen Xi blush from head to toe, and his palms and back broke out in a sweat.

He never imagined he could make a voice like that, soft and slurred, like candy made from strawberries and mint, full of hooks that clung to the heart and lured you in.

The scumbag, supposedly a voice fetishist, replied as expected: "?"

Two months later, Shen Xi seemed to have reeled the scumbag in. The man messaged every day, asking to meet in person. Then Lily suddenly told him, "Xiao Xi, it's normal that the scumbag hasn't been replying lately. He sexually assaulted a minor and got arrested a couple of days ago."

Shen Xi: The scumbag was arrested a couple of days ago, so who was the online boyfriend who transferred me money half an hour ago?

Lily stared at the photo sent by the person Shen Xi had been catfishing and swallowed nervously. "Shen Xi, I think this is our boss's younger brother."

Shen Xi: "????"

The company offered such good benefits that Shen Xi couldn't bear to quit. All he could do was sincerely apologize to the young man online, explaining that it had all been a misunderstanding.

Later, the wild college guy, five years younger than Shen Xi, 189 centimeters tall and built like a tank, pinned him to the bed. "A misunderstanding? You didn't say that when you called me hubby."
