A Socially Anxious Patient's Record of Love

Everyone knows that Class 1-6 has two extraordinary characters. One is Chen Yin, the "witch" whose words always bring bad luck, even though she never says a thing unless it's to predict some disaster. The other is Lu Chuanxing, a cold male idol with bright eyes, pearly teeth, a noble bearing, and a handsome, graceful air. Their only thing in common is that neither likes to talk, and they have absolutely nothing to do with each other. That is, until the graduation dinner, when they show up holding hands and leave holding hands. Everyone there sucks in a breath: ??? [Social phobia, also known as social anxiety disorder, is a mental illness characterized by an intense fear or anxiety about social situations or public settings.] On the first day of school, Chen Yin and Lu Chuanxing exchanged a knowing glance. They were both socially anxious. After all, they were the only two who gave nothing but their names during introductions. But how come when Lu Chuanxing doesn't speak, he's a cool male idol, and when he occasionally says a single word, his fangirls are happy for half the day? But when I open my mouth, everyone around me backs away five meters, and I get nicknamed the witch! So unfair! Lu Chuanxing, meanwhile, wonders: How come, even though we're both socially anxious, no one talks to Chen Yin all day, while people only leave me in peace during class? This world is so annoying. It might as well be destroyed! ! Snarky social phobe x chuunibyou social phobe A sweet, healing slice-of-life story~ Coming soon: "Relive the Past." Add it to your favorites if you're interested~ Everyone in showbiz says that getting a little famous takes a push, but becoming a star takes luck. Li Qiu feels that her and Shen Tu's sudden fame came from equal parts hard work and luck. They went through the bleak years together, putting on show after show, from performing for no one to playing to packed houses. Of course they thought about giving up. When they moved to an unfamiliar city and lived in a damp, stuffy basement; when they played a music festival alongside other artists, and the crowd was roaring one moment but fell silent the second they stepped onstage; and then... when, after all those years, he confessed to that girl. The spotlight shining down on her onstage swung toward another direction. Li Qiu suddenly thought of a saying: How could you feel nothing when standing beside a fire? That's right. They both felt something for each other. #ShenTuLiQiuNewSongDriftedApart# Wu Qiangwei had a favorite CP she'd shipped for over ten years. Many years ago, when she was a rebellious teenager, she and a friend found their way to an underground show through some obscure channel. Onstage were boys and girls not much older than her, along with their friends. To be honest, the songs weren't that good, but the atmosphere was just right. One look was enough for her to fall for them, and she added them as friends. They'd stayed in touch all these years. They responded to her holiday greetings, and because she was their friend, she knew a little more than other fans. She watched them singing drunken songs on empty streets in the middle of the night, watched them always look out for each other, watched them go together to see, witness, and welcome every performance. Every moment before and after they took the stage was recorded. How could she not ship them? Then she saw the number-one trending topic, and their separation, just as she'd feared, became reality. Though it was never officially announced, nearly three years without working together, along with their careful avoidance of each other in public, made it clear to everyone in showbiz and to their fans: Shen Tu and Li Qiu, once the most in-sync duo, had split up. Trends in showbiz are always hard to predict. The year before last, it was talent shows. Last year, it was bromance adaptations. This year, it's dating shows. Yet Orange Entertainment went against the tide and launched a variety show about friendship called "Hello, Old Friend." The proposed guests were all celebrities whose fallouts were common knowledge. Shen Tu and Li Qiu were among them. In an instant, onlookers, feuding fans, and CP shippers all went wild. Theme: Learning to socialize
