One day, Xu Fanxing appeared on a relationship talk show. The host smiled warmly and asked, “As a writer for a well-known domestic magazine, Ms. Xu, what do you think of your ex, who's been getting a lot of attention lately?”
Xu Fanxing had just broken up with someone. Wearing an icy, haughty expression, she replied, “There are plenty of fish in the sea, and each ex is better than the last.”
A few days later, someone moved into the building next door, and, by sheer coincidence, became Xu Fanxing's neighbor across the way.
From that day on, the tempting smell of late-night snacks wafted into her home at exactly eight every night, as reliably as the weight of the cucumbers she was munching on. While drinking plain water and begging the other person to act like a human being, Xu Fanxing promptly sealed up the window on her balcony.
The next day, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window that had become the biggest source of ventilation in her home, Xu Fanxing noticed that a whole lot of exercise equipment had appeared on the balcony opposite overnight. A man with his back to her was assembling a dumbbell on the floor. His hair was buzzed short, and the tank top stretched over his firm muscles looked outrageously tight.
Xu Fanxing snapped a photo and sent it to her group chat with her best friends: A live one, come and get him!
Her phone was quiet for three seconds, then started going crazy:
From the background, that looks like your ex-boyfriend. He's seriously manly.
After all those years of you feeding us back-view romance, the official verdict is in: Miss Fanxing, you're doomed.
Meanwhile, Gu Jingshi across the way had gotten engrossed in his dumbbells. That cool, detached face lit up with a dazzling, teeth-baring smile when he saw Xu Fanxing. His smile shone as brightly as the muscles in his arms.
Xu Fanxing: ...You lousy ex, can you please act like a human being?
Premise: The world is so big. Don't let go of your happiness.
