Before the World Reboots

[Updates every other day, following the rankings when featured. Thanks for reading.]

One day, Zhu Qi accidentally wandered into a street interview.

Blogger: "What's your first impression of Executive Xu Shian?"

Passerby A: "He seems pretty warm and approachable."

Passerby B: "He seems to separate business from personal matters."

The microphone was passed to Zhu Qi. She thought about what her daily life with Xu Shian was like...

She'd point at Xu Shian and call him a dog, and he'd grin and bark, "Woof."

She'd say even dogs were more obedient than people, and Xu Shian would think it over and agree: "I really am pretty obedient."

Other people would say she clearly couldn't stand Xu Shian, and he'd just smile. "That's an honor."

After thinking it all over, Zhu Qi said, "He's pretty pathetic."

As expected, the interview was delivered to the person in question.

After hearing Zhu Qi's first impression of him, he turned around and bragged, "Did you hear that? She was praising me."

His deadpan best friend said, "I heard her insulting you."

Xu Shian corrected him. "Praising me."

His best friend: "Insulting you."

Xu Shian shot him a puzzled look. "Don't you have a partner?"

His best friend: "..."

Xu Shian: "Oh, that explains it... I can understand why you don't get it."

His best friend held back, and his anger slowly subsided.

Xu Shian: "This is love."

His best friend: "..."

I love you #%￥#% (sweet birdsong and fragrant flowers)
