Your Virtual Boyfriend Is Online!

Blurb:

Midsummer is a social app themed around "virtual partners."

Jiang Mian, a member of the development team, took a temporary job at someone's request and became the "virtual boyfriend" of a very special client.

-

Jiang Mian, inexperienced at his first gig: How should I address the other person?

Roommate: I glanced at the forum. Call them "baby."

Roommate Two: Just go with "Hey, hubby."

Jiang Mian's eyes nearly popped out of his head.

After careful consideration, he added the client as a friend: Hello. What should I call you?

Half an hour later, the reply came: Lu.

Jiang Mian let out a long sigh of relief.

"Hello, Mr. Lu."

-

When Lu Wen received the friend request, he learned that he had acquired a "partner."

And the mastermind behind it all was his cousin, Xu Yao.

Xu Yao at first: I secretly found my brother a virtual partner. I'm scared.

Xu Yao later: What does a virtual partner do?

Wake-up calls? Check. Gaming buddy? Check. Help you fall asleep? Check.

That money was really... Damn it, can someone tell him why his brother was the one doing all these things????

Later, Xu Yao, fully aware of his sins, came clean to his family: My brother doesn't have a partner. I found someone online. It's fake.

His mother was utterly disappointed.

Then one day, Lu Wen's mother was passing her son's villa with the younger members of the family when the Alaskan Malamute Lu Wen owned came running out.

Lu Wen's mother opened her arms, ready to hug her grandchild.

But the dog ran past everyone, made a sharp turn, and raced to the gate.

The whole family turned their heads and saw a stunningly handsome young man standing there.

The Malamute clung to him, refusing to let him leave.

The whole family was stunned.

Jiang Mian, who was just about to leave through the back door: "...!!!"
