Yu Cheng is sitting in a car headed into the city in Italy.
He's sleepy, and the car is bumpy.
His irritation is at its peak, but the thought of meeting his online dating partner, who loves traveling as much as he does, eases his mood a little.
Out of the corner of his eye, he spots someone in the front seat wearing a black T-shirt, turned around to look at the scenery slipping past the window.
Is he cosplaying as some brooding, handsome heartthrob?
If his mom hadn't let slip that he was going on a trip, how could Lu Qiubai have come along?
He's never liked Lu Qiubai much. He's all looks on the outside, but a scheming black lotus underneath. Still, since they're neighbors and their parents get along, Yu Cheng has no choice but to maintain a facade of peace.
Then he hears someone in the back say, "If I could date a handsome guy dressed in black like that, I could die happy."
Yu Cheng sneers to himself.
You'd be dying with your eyes open if you dated him!

Yu Cheng's online date is a sunny, ambitious beauty and top student. Apparently, she stayed up late for a whole week to finish an experiment so she could go on this trip.
Beauty and top student: I'm tired today. Let's meet properly tomorrow.
Yu Cheng: Sure ^-^
She's still looking out for him. Now he's even more excited.
She happens to be staying in the same area, so he suggests meeting tomorrow outside a nearby church.
But then she says he can just come to her hotel room.
Isn't that a little too eager?
But she quickly adds: Just talking, nothing else.
Oh, okay then.
So the next day, when there's a knock at the door, Yu Cheng opens it with a flutter of nervous excitement, and there stands Lu Qiubai, with his strong face.
Yu Cheng: ⊙ˍ⊙
The next second, Lu Qiubai seems like he wants to kiss him, but Yu Cheng dodges with a sudden sidestep.
Weren't they supposed to just talk? No, that doesn't seem to be the point.
Lu Qiubai gazes at him fervently. "Yu Cheng, why aren't you saying anything?"
...The hell am I supposed to say?
Yu Cheng feels like the sky is falling.
Theme: Live well
