But in the End, He Was Just a Performer

On the seventh day after her online boyfriend cheated on her, Su Jing’s roommate bought her an expensive virtual boyfriend. With a miserly determination to “see what kind of thing this is,” Su Jing added him as a friend. “Hello, I’m your… um, boyfriend.” The virtual boyfriend’s voice was deep and pleasant, with a hint of awkwardness. He was nothing like the sleazy seductress Su Jing had expected. Su Jing raised an eyebrow. She thought critically, He’s all right, I guess. I could sell him, but he’s not worth much! She never expected that the worst was yet to come… “That’s a paid feature.” “This one costs extra.” “This… how about I charge you a monthly rate?” * On the seventh day after his online boyfriend cheated on him, Si Wei somehow ended up playing virtual boyfriend to a little scumbag. “Don’t confess too eagerly.” His cousin, a professional virtual boyfriend, gave him nine words of advice: “Once they have you, you’re not worth as much!” Si Wei pondered this and had an epiphany. Later… Si Wei waited and waited, but the little scumbag never confessed. At last, he couldn’t hold back any longer. “Don’t you like me at all?” Su Jing stared at him in disbelief. “Am I after your money, or trying to kill you?” Si Wei said, “You said I’m great at what I do, have a nice voice, look handsome, and am an interesting person…” Su Jing replied, “But in the end, you’re still selling yourself.” Also known as “My Virtual Boyfriend Is My Ex” and “How a Heartthrob Fell into Dorkiness Through Love.” [Money-grubbing, murderous top x penny-pinching bottom] (The protagonists will probably be renamed.)
