The short, spooky story "The Haunted House" was updated on December 9, 2020.
Blurb
Couple 1: A seemingly serious but actually narcissistic actor × a casual fan who fell for his acting
Couple 2: A quiet, book-loving boss with skill points × a female event planner who gets starstruck around her idol
One offline event, one simple Q&A. Two people with very different feelings.
Xiang Dongye's inner thoughts: She must be really excited. She can't even answer such an easy question.
Tian Sisi's inner thoughts: Who pays attention to his selfies? I don't even follow him...
The host saw Xiang Dongye smiling warmly like a kindly old man, then glanced at the lucky audience member's awkward smile and evasive eyes. A bad feeling crept into her heart.
Down in the audience, Tian Sisi's friend Li Yue, a true fan of Xiang Dongye, hurriedly waved and pointed to her dimples, yelling over the noisy crowd, "Sisi! Tian Sisi! Look at me, look at me! I'm the answer!"
One planned event, one coincidence. Two people with very different thoughts.
Li Yue's inner thoughts: Our Dongtou is coming! Ahhh! I have to give him the best publicity and the best setup. I have to make this unforgettable for him! We have to be extra careful and do everything perfectly! I can't let the "wild grass" of our "Great Grassland" embarrass themselves.
Liang Shu's inner thoughts: A few days ago, you were scowling because we couldn't agree on the proposal. Why are you in such a good mood today? You carried something so heavy and still smiled at me?
Team member A's inner thoughts: Seeing Boss Liang sitting there should have told you what was going on, right?
Team member B's inner thoughts: Thanks for the hint, teammate. Got it in a second! The deputy team lead is being ridiculously nitpicky on purpose to get back at Boss Liang and test his patience!
Come along and take a look at the quirky fan clubs in this fantasy city, and the serendipitous connection at a newly opened bookstore.
It's called fantasy, but only a few of the settings are unusual. There's no magic or fantastical atmosphere.
Theme: Don't trust stereotypes.
