You Look Easy to Bully

Cheng Song thought she must be crazy. She'd taken a liking to a man at a bar.

A man in a wheelchair, gentle and languid, whose smile could draw you in, and who seemed so easy to push around.

So, holding a drink and a cigarette she hadn't lit between her lips, she slipped her contact information into his coat pocket beneath his warm gaze.

But she never got a call from him.

Until one day, her grandfather took her to visit Grandpa Yan. At the Yan family residence, he pointed to the man in the wheelchair. "This is your Uncle Yan."

Cheng Song's heart skipped a beat. Anxious, she obediently stepped forward. "Hello, Uncle Yan."

He glanced at her and smiled in reply, never letting on. Cheng Song thought to herself: A good man, kind, gentle, and easy to push around.

Then, later, he had her pinned in a corner and devoured her. Cheng Song grumbled furiously: The most damnably blind moment of her life was when she first met Yan Ning and thought he was kind and easy to bully!

Many years later, Yan Ning's friend still couldn't help asking, "There were so many people at the bar that night. How did you end up picking Yan?"

Cheng Song ventured a guess. "Maybe I thought he looked easy to push around?"

Yan Ning's friend looked at her strangely, then glanced at Yan, who was staring at him with a dark, intense gaze. "E-easy to push around?"

Cheng Song regretted everything. "I was young and ignorant. Blame my terrible eyesight."

Yan: "..."

Now serializing: "Boldly in Love" (secret crush, woman pursues man, reunion after a partial separation)

When Ji Xi was fourteen, she was still in Germany. A young exchange student came to stay with her family. He was gentle, cool, and aloof, and called her father "Teacher."

Then she discovered that this young man had been entrusted by her parents to keep an eye on her picky eating, her grades, and even her Chinese!

Later, Wen Liang left Germany. She grabbed his sleeve, tears in her eyes. Wen Liang bent down and pinched the tip of her nose, not particularly gently. "Your big brother will email you."

After that, he vanished without a trace.

She pressed her lips together, opened her diary, and expressionlessly wrote a few big words: WEN, LIANG, IS, DEAD!

-

Wen Liang, a professor who recently returned from overseas to a certain university, was cool, distinguished, aloof, and taciturn. Everyone agreed he was an untouchable beauty.

After a research conference, a friend dragged Wen Liang to a nearby film studio. As luck would have it, a production crew needed a German-speaking stand-in for the male lead.

He filmed his scenes with a fountain pen in hand, then looked over at the female lead's stand-in and froze completely. The strikingly beautiful, familiar-looking young woman glanced at him. "Big brother, have you really fallen so low as to work as a stand-in?"

Wen Liang's expression remained cool as he looked away. "Mm."

When filming ended, the young woman had disappeared. His friend explained, "I think she's an agent. Famous for being stunning and aloof."

"Is that so?" he said thoughtfully.

He remembered the day he left Germany, when the young woman had kissed his Adam's apple after drinking, murmuring, "Big brother, don't fall for anyone else, okay?"

His voice hoarse, he had told her to behave.

That night, his friend sent him a video of the young woman filling in on a variety show. She appeared on camera with immaculate makeup, and the host jokingly asked, "Teacher Ji, is your first love still around?"

Ji Xi stared straight into the camera, dazzling and poised. "First love? Oh, he's dead. They say that when the police arrived, there wasn't even a body."

The comments filled with sympathy.

Wen Liang: "..."

-

Ji Xi filled in as a judge on a variety show for a space program, and her beauty made her an instant sensation, earning her plenty of attention.

After filming the final episode, a young heartthrob boldly flirted with her. "Teacher Ji, what kind of man do you like?"

She stared straight into the camera, her red lips curving slightly. "Wen Liang. I like Wen Liang."

The young heartthrob raised an eyebrow and grinned. "What a coincidence. I'm exactly Wen Liang's type. How about it?"

She remained expressionless. "You're really not good enough."

Then, one day, an artist under her management forgot to turn off the camera after a livestream. Ji Xi walked into the frame, completely unaware.

A man with cool, distinguished features and his shirt sleeves rolled halfway up appeared on screen. He handed the beauty a cup of cold medicine, his voice cool. "Don't secretly pour it out."

The beauty frowned and gave a reluctant, "Oh."

The viewers: ???

A student at the university: Holy crap! Isn't that Professor Wen Liang, the one our school went to so much trouble to bring back from overseas?

That night, Ji Xi posted on Weibo.

Hello, everyone. This is Wen Liang. @WenLiang

Then, amid a flood of belated comments like "Holy crap, it was a pun all along," the Weibo account of the man who was supposedly missing even a corpse replied: Sorry, I've risen from the dead. @JiXi
