Hey, Want to Date Online?

He Zhizhi had been single since birth for twenty years. She had never liked anyone, never had a crush, and didn't even have a favorite celebrity. Yet she felt she was attracted to women, so she started dating in the virtual world...

Her first online relationship: After they got together, she found out the other person already had a boyfriend. When she asked about it, she learned that she wanted a relationship while the other person only wanted to be CPs, so they broke up... It lasted 18 hours.

Her second online relationship: They were both clear that they were looking for a relationship, got along well, and had mutual feelings. They agreed to give it a try, but after they got together, the other person told her that "she" was actually a man. So they broke up... It lasted 3 hours.

Her third online relationship: They were clear that they were looking for a relationship, confirmed that the other person was a woman, and got along well enough despite not chatting often. They got together, but after a few things she said, the other person thought she was two-timing her, so they broke up... It lasted three weeks (they were actually "dating" for six days).

After her three online relationships ended, He Zhizhi declared: I'm never dating online again.

Determined to give up online dating, He Zhizhi planned to make the game her emotional outlet. But then a teammate she'd played with several times asked to be her CP. Since they were in the same rank and the other person wasn't very good, she agreed. She made it clear beforehand that they would only be game CPs, with no romance involved, and the other person said they understood.

At first, they only played the game, and they both stuck to the terms they'd agreed on. But can someone explain why her game CP's words are getting more and more easy to misunderstand, and more and more flirtatious?

"Zhizhi, that person is picking on you. I'll get revenge for you."

"Zhizhi, do you want that hairpin? I'll get it for you."

"Zhizhi, you're so cute like this. I really like you."

"Zhizhi, I got first place on the rankings. I posted an announcement for the whole server, telling everyone not to bully you."

She was falling for the flirting, but because she was determined not to date online, she gradually distanced herself from her CP. But the other person continued treating her the same way. After a while, she realized that her game CP spoke just like her former classmate, who was now her roommate.

Well, they probably just sound alike. Besides, she's not going to date online, so there's no need to dwell on it.

Until later...

Ji Lin: Who said we'd only be game CPs?

He Zhizhi (innocent face): Not me.

Ji Lin: Who said she would never date online again?

He Zhizhi (unflustered): That wasn't me either.

Ji Lin: Want to date me online?

He Zhizhi nods furiously.

He Zhizhi, holding her wife afterward: Online dating really is great.

Her wife, held in He Zhizhi's arms: Finally, I managed to bring her home.

You think we fell in love online because fate brought us together, but I've been plotting this for a long time. - Ji Lin

I thought I would stay trapped in the darkness forever, but you drove it away for me. - He Zhizhi

Bonus scene:

[Game Announcement: A Little Zhizhi has challenged Guanzhi Nianlin to a deathmatch PK. The loser will lose a level and give up their equipment.]

Everyone: Two big shots are having a deathmatch PK! Hurry up and watch!

A Little Zhizhi: Just you wait. This time, I'm definitely going to beat you.

Everyone: Wow! They seem to have a deep grudge. This duel should be amazing.

Guanzhi Nianlin: Good Zhizhi, I was wrong. If you want equipment, I'll give you everything. Let's stop fighting, okay?

Everyone: !!!

What's going on?

Linlin and Friends (guild members): Sister-in-law, don't fight with the boss. Come home.

Everyone: ...So this isn't a deep grudge, it's just a couple having a tiff?

What a waste of excitement, and now we're being force-fed dog food.

P.S. 1v1, an insecure girl who craves affection x a warm, protective girl.

Not a purely sweet gaming story. Happy ending.
