"Who would've thought Li Fang, with that playboy face, would turn out to be so unexpectedly pure!" "Li Fang is definitely into Zhou Qi!" "They have to get together after this!" As Li Fang scrolled through the comments, he suddenly took a screenshot and sent it to Zhou Qi: Netizens say we should get together. Shouldn't we make it official? Zhou Qi came over and ruffled his hair. "If you want to make it public, then let's do it." Theme: Don't believe rumors, and don't judge people by appearances.
