[Completed] [Lighthearted, Absurd Short Story]
[Million-Follower Pet Blogger vs. Rich Young Master Who'll Have to Sheepishly Inherit the Family Business If He Doesn't Make It Big]
Irreverent Blurb:
Yu Yue used to be a miserable photo retoucher, lugging her laptop around and following photographers all over the world every day.
One more late night at work, a photographer sent her a compressed file several gigabytes in size. Apparently, it was of a newly debuted star.
Yu Yue yawned and slowly opened the file...
Well, the guy had a pretty good build: tall, with broad shoulders and long legs. By her professional standards, his proportions were nearly perfect.
Yu Yue had been feeling sleepy, but she perked up in an instant. She loved retouching gorgeous guys like this!
Look at that pretty face, that high nose bridge, those handsome, unruly eyes... Wait, why did he look familiar?
Yu Yue leaned closer to the computer and squinted through her severely nearsighted eyes...
Holy crap! Wasn't this Xin Xiaoqi, the jerk who used to pull her pigtails and bully her every day in middle school?!
On the screen, the handsome man with the unruly air curled his lips slightly, as if mocking her for drooling over him just now.
So her hand slipped, and she shortened his legs in the retouched photo.
The next day, netizens were howling with laughter: Did this guy's 50-50 proportions mean he'd offended the photographer?
Yu Yue: No, he offended the retoucher :)
One day later on, the two were walking their dogs together when they ran into a corgi. Someone pointed at the corgi's legs and settled an old score: You used this as your reference when you edited my legs, didn't you?
Serious Blurb:
Nobody expected Xin Qi, the big star hailed as "the entertainment industry's next top-tier beauty," "the man who single-handedly united popular opinion on beauty," and "the man with perfect bone structure and physique," to have emerged victorious after just a year in the industry, earned consecutive Best Actor nominations, and won Best Newcomer, yet to have someone in his heart he could never have.
After winning another prestigious award, a tabloid reporter interviewed him.
Reporter: Have you seen the rumors about you online lately?
He frowned: No. They're false.
Reporter: All right. Then can you tell us about your first love?
He fell silent.
The reporter was surprised: Someone like you must have had plenty of admirers at school. You've never been in a relationship?
His face darkened.
The reporter pressed on: Surely you have some fond memories from your school days?!
Xin Qi: I had a sworn enemy back then. We fought all the time.
Reporter and everyone else: ??
Yu Yue turned off the TV and pouted at the man beside her. "Sworn enemy?"
Xin Qi didn't so much as blink. "My sworn enemy, and the person I love most."
Yu Yue was pleased, but in the next instant a big hand wrapped around her waist and lifted her up, carrying her straight toward the bedroom.
"What are you doing?!" Yu Yue cried in alarm. A low, cool voice came from above her head.
"Fighting."
The next day, gossip media broke the news that a top-tier star and a million-follower pet blogger were dating. The entertainment world was in an uproar, and the news shot to the top of the trending charts that very day.
Xin Qi: That's right, she's with me. @Yu Meili and Her Good Friend Dog Xin Kaixin
Read as sworn enemies, but in truth, the one who got away.

[Coming Soon: Sorry, I Got the Wrong Person]
He Youyang, 29, is an unmarried single woman in her late twenties. She's rich, carefree, and beautiful, but even she can't escape her family's relentless matchmaking.
To appease her elders, she rented a college student online at the last minute to pose as her "boyfriend" and come home with her for the New Year.
She never expected him to be not only tall and long-legged, but also exceptionally handsome, with a refined, otherworldly air and an scholarly elegance. Sitting in her sports car, she felt like she was covered in the stench of money. No wonder he was a graduate student at a prestigious university.
That thousand yuan was money well spent, an absolute bargain. The only problem was how slowly he was dawdling at the school gate. He was already five minutes late, and he was still taking his sweet time.
Honestly! Impatient He Youyang marched over in her heels, grabbed him, and pulled him straight into her red Porsche under the shocked eyes of students and faculty.
"Excuse me, miss..."
"Hurry up! We're running late. Get in, and we'll talk on the way."
She said this, shut the car door, and sped off...
Her "boyfriend" was outstanding, and her parents and elders were naturally pleased. He Youyang affectionately took his hand as they left the restaurant. She was about to pay him the rest of his fee when she saw several unread messages from an hour earlier.
[College Student: Sis, sis, where are you? Sorry, my advisor pulled me aside to help with something before I could leave.]
[College Student: Sis, are you still there? I don't see you.]
He Youyang: ...
Wait, then who was she holding hands with right now?!

Yan Sheng entered the country's top university at sixteen, returned from overseas at twenty-eight, and became the youngest professor at a top university. He majored in mathematics and minored in philosophy. He was a true genius.
His only shortcoming was his boyish face, which constantly led his own students to mistake him for a classmate and caused Professor Yan plenty of trouble in his teaching career.
For example, right now, a woman acted like they were old friends, took his hand before he could refuse, and pulled him into her car. Then, for some reason, she went with him to meet his family.
Afterward, she finally realized something was wrong and said ruefully, "Ah, sorry, I got the wrong person."
Looking at her bright, playful, embarrassed expression, Yan Sheng's ears quietly turned red. For the first time in his life, he lied. "Well, maybe you didn't get the wrong person."
Theme: Becoming a better version of yourself for the person you love is what love is truly about.
So
Did you forget your younger siblings at the hotel?
Wait a minute, where is that aunt who pretended to have a stomachache? ! ! This one needs to be caught, too.
No, this chapter takes up too much space with the description of the heroine's family and her mother's urging for marriage. The more I read, the sadder it becomes... T_T The heroine later wanted to find the hero as a fake boyfriend. I guess in the later plot, she brought him back, and was greatly praised by the heroine's mother and father, and then urged her to get married. There may be plots in the middle that exposed the heroine's family trauma, the hero consoled her, or the two of them visited their previous school. Have you watched the latter part and told me if you can escape from these plots? [Hold your cheek]
The sky [splits] My dog was also stolen. I will really fight them. These people are so wicked.
Even though I knew it was a novel, but when the end came and I only had one day to cancel the event, I felt bad and disrespectful to others.
Social workers feel the same way, especially for star-matching projects. Basically, in the early stage, you have to prepare for the project and schedule it. If you agree to release the pigeons the day before, emmm, I am a worker and I will really go crazy. And once a staff member goes out to say that the male lead will act like a big name when he becomes popular, and he will not come if he says he can't, emmm, it doesn't feel good either~
Hahahahahahahahaha
Can the male protagonist change his name? One of the suspects in the "911 Yu Menglong Case" is named Xin Qi.
