I Heard You Like Me

Fifteen years ago, Chu Yue found Lu Yuanchuan in her family’s dog kennel. Her classmates teased Lu Yuanchuan, saying he was Chu Yue’s dog. Fifteen years later, they reunited, and Lu Yuanchuan had evolved from a dog into a dog of a man. Chu Yue had always suspected Lu Yuanchuan was sick in the head. Later, she confirmed it: not only was he sick, he was seriously ill. There’s a rumor going around the company that Chu Yue has a crush on Young Master Lu. She keeps finding excuses to get close to him, secretly flirts with him, and even sends him suggestive texts from time to time. Chu Yue can’t explain herself. Suspecting her account has been hacked, she checks every social media app, only to discover she doesn’t even have Lu Yuanchuan’s contact information. Later, Chu Yue finds out the rumor started in Young Master Lu’s social media feed... Lu Yuanchuan’s first post: “Texting me to flirt in the middle of the night? Someone’s got a death wish.” The attached image is a screenshot of a chat. The sender, “Chu Chu,” is being all clingy: Chu Chu: “Darling, pay some attention to me...” Chu Chu: “Baby...” Chu Chu: “Big brother...” Chu Chu: “Daddy???” Lu Yuanchuan’s second post: “Getting gifts every day. What a pest!” The attached image shows a table covered with all kinds of little things: books, plushies, bracelets, rings... you name it. Chu Chu: “Big brother, do you like the gifts I sent? If you do, I want kisses, hugs, and to be lifted up high!” Chu Yue after reading the posts: ???????? A genuinely unhinged male lead vs. a gentle-looking heroine with a strong heart What does it matter if I have everything? I just want to be your dog.

Gu Ye smashes half the office. Gu Ye: “Are you coming with me? I’ll make you a top-tier star.” Ran Xing: “I’m doing fine as I am.” Gu Ye: “I can make things even better for you.” Ran Xing: “All right, but we’ll have to sign an agreement first.” When the agreement expires, Ran Xing leaves without hesitation.
