When Fu Yu was eighteen, she left her seventeen-year-old younger brother completely lovestruck, then took off to study abroad. She treated everything that had happened as a passing cloud and never spoke of it to anyone.

At seventeen, Jiang Huai learned what sweet love felt like, but at that same age, he also tasted the bitterness of heartbreak.
After that, everyone knew he'd been abandoned by the ex-girlfriend he loved so deeply.
*
Years later, they met again at a banquet.
According to the script, he should have pulled her into an empty corner and... Wait, why was she the one pinning him against the wall and kissing him?
She even said, "Don't move. My fiance is looking for me."
Jiang Huai: ...???
*
Genius scientist Fu Yu and original rock singer Jiang Huai announced that they would appear together on an escape-room variety show.
*
Before the show aired:
"Oh wow, the brains-and-brawn duo! The editors must be in for a headache. #HowToTurnFortyMinutesIntoTwoHours hahaha"
"Everyone knows that beauty means nothing to Jiang Huai. His only true loves are his ex and his work. Can't wait to see him carry the whole team!"
*
After the show aired:
"Something's not right. Why is Jiang Huai carrying Professor Fu around? Is he still the same 'Jiang Lightning,' who dodges every girl? Does he even see the NPCs or his other teammates?"
"We always knew Jiang Huai was just pretending to be devoted. Now he's been exposed! He confessed to his ex on the show just two days ago, but now, during an escape room, he can't take his eyes off Fu Yu. He only has a high school diploma, and keys cost ten yuan for three. Who does he think he is?"
Then netizens noticed Fu Yu commenting beneath a compilation edited by Jiang Huai's anti-fans, titled "Jiang Huai the Drama Queen: The 230 Times He's Mentioned His Ex."
"Jiang Huai says he's mentioned me 231 times over the years, but your video only has 230. Did he lie, or did you miss one?"
Jiang Huai replied right after her: "My darling is hard to appease. I suggest you add the missing clip immediately. It's in episode five of that variety show from 201x, at 46:05. Don't be difficult, or don't blame me if I get down on my knees and beg you!"
Anti-fan: "…?"
Onlookers: "???"
