Destined

Notice: This story will go VIP starting with Chapter 23 on December 19, 2019. Thank you, my dears, for your support! [New story next door: Just Want to Focus on Technology, a sweet and satisfying story about strengthening the nation through science and technology. Please visit my author page and add it to your collection!] On a whim, Xiao Jiu put a self-portrait up for auction online. He was just letting off steam, and the cover image was so ugly it could make Heaven itself furious. He cheerfully wrote, "Handsome, highly educated guy looking for his destined one. Waiting online!" and set the price at 99,999 yuan. To his surprise, his phone pinged the next day with a deposit of 99,999 yuan. Xiao Jiu was dumbfounded. What kind of fool was this? By chance, Shen He came across his idol auctioning himself under an alt account. What a lucky break! He bought him without a second thought. Seeing the text message on his phone confirming that 99,999 yuan had been deducted from his account, Shen He was over the moon. My idol is mine now, hehe. A little scene: Everyone knows that X University has a beloved campus couple who are always trending at the top of the campus forum. #Shocking! Turns out the department heartthrob isn't a perfect match for the department beauty, but for another heartthrob!# #Male college student skips class to do this in the classroom?!# Xiao Jiu was baffled. He couldn't understand how he could be so low-key in real life and yet so high-profile on the forum. The culprit: "Do you really have to ask? Because you've got a great husband." A sweet little treat for anyone with a sweet tooth. (My completed story, Lulling You to Sleep, is another sweet little treat. Visit my author page to check it out!) Next story: Just Want to Focus on Technology [A story about a future interstellar technology expert who transmigrates back to the modern day and gets to work on technology.] Playful blurb: Yu Xi originally lived in the Interstellar Empire, where good food was scarce. After being hit by both family troubles and heartbreak, he grew disillusioned and rashly ended his miserable life. But when he opened his eyes, he'd transmigrated billions of years into the past, to ancient Earth! And for some inexplicable reason, he now had a dating System that said it would help him find sweet love? * This body has the clear, innocent face of a young deer, not the villainous male-lead-rival looks that got him misunderstood no matter what he did in his previous life. He also has the loving, caring parents he'd never dared hope for before. And even the food at some random little restaurant is so delicious it moves him to tears. * Yu Xi finally came to his senses. What did he need romance for? He was going to be the world's best son! Mom's back hurts after work? He'll build her a super-efficient massage device using magnetic-vibration resonance! Dad's liver is suffering from all those business dinners? He'll make him a medicine that tracks down the source of the illness and treats it in one go! His little sister is being bullied at school by some nasty boy? Her big brother will make her a self-defense device that automatically identifies attackers within a one-meter radius and zaps them with a warning current! * And finally... Yu Xi furrowed his brows as he looked at the modern world, with its towering buildings, convenient transportation, and well-developed infrastructure. He sighed. "This place is so backward." Oh, well. He'd help his ancestors advance their technology. * System: Host Σ(°△°|||) The point is to find someone to date! Yu Xi: Date someone? Why bother, when working on technology is so much more fun? Content warnings: 1. An alternate modern setting, and a very alternate one at that. 2. Peak chuunibyou energy, perhaps some passionate moments, and sweet romance. 3. A flight of fancy by a romance-obsessed author in the late stages of chuunibyou. Read it for fun, and don't take it too seriously. Theme: Love and freedom.
