My Temporary Boyfriend Is Pretending to Be Poor Again

(Coming soon: A Guide to Wooing with a Sickly Beauty's Allure. Please add it to your collection!) To deal with a blind date, Jiang Xun found a temporary boyfriend online to keep him company. His boyfriend had an abstinent air, broad shoulders and a slim waist. He was also diligent and hardworking, putting in exhausting nights as if his life depended on the money. One morning, Jiang Xun, looking utterly drained, watched the other man pick up his torn clothes and pull them on. He had a transit card in his hand, and even picked up the bottle of mineral water Jiang Xun had drunk from before leaving. Jiang Xun couldn't believe it. "Are you really that poor?" Ji Nanchen calmly buttoned his shirt and replied without batting an eye, "My parents don't work and spend all day lazing around. My younger brother wastes money, and my older sister is going abroad to study. They've spent it all." Jiang Xun looked at him with pity. Ji's parents, enjoying their honeymoon at sunset: ?? His younger brother, driving a luxury car with a beauty in his arms: ?? His older sister, on a full scholarship: ?? From then on, Jiang Xun held his boyfriend in the palm of his hand, giving him flowers and watches, buying him a car and a house, and launching a targeted poverty-alleviation campaign for Ji Nanchen. That was until he was invited to a meeting with a mysterious big shot, the Ji family's new-generation head. Jiang Xun watched as Ji Nanchen, dressed in a tailored suit and wearing an expensive watch, slowly walked toward him. That night, the young master of the Jiang family stormed out of the banquet in a rage, while the powerful Mr. Ji chased after him in a panic. "Baby, let me explain!" Coming soon: A Guide to Wooing with a Sickly Beauty's Allure Lu Ye had the kind of face that made him a dreamboat in gay circles, and men doted on him. But he was a straight man who feared gay men and wanted nothing to do with them. His friend Shen Chu was the one exception. Shen Chu was a famous sickly beauty at Nan University. He was out of breath after three steps, coughing after five, and forever fainting or coming down with a fever. He would clutch his chest and cough until the corners of his eyes reddened. When Shen Chu ran, he was so weak and breathless that Lu Ye went to help him. When Shen Chu picked at his food and had no appetite, Lu Ye went to feed him. When Shen Chu fell and accidentally sprained his ankle, Lu Ye went to carry him. Their group of close friends was stunned. "Brother Lu, are you sure you're straight?" Lu Ye declared with absolute confidence, "As straight as they come! Straighter than a steel rebar!" Their friends sighed. "But you treat Shen Chu like he's your wife." Lu Ye shot them a cold look. "We're just good friends. Your thoughts are so filthy. When your mind is dirty, everything looks dirty!" Later on, Jiang Chu had an episode in the dormitory. With tears glistening in his eyes, breathing softly and looking at him with pure, innocent eyes, he said, "Lu Ye, help me..." Lu Ye froze in place. It was over. His mind had turned dirty, too. Coming soon: Forced to Play Along After an utterly undignified breakup, Ji Yan was told by his company that he would have to record a variety show alongside his ex-boyfriend, an award-winning actor. Let's Date Again is a romance variety show that focuses on inviting celebrity exes to travel together after a breakup and serve up "expired sweetness." Some of the other guests could still be friends after breaking up, while others still had feelings for their exes. Only Ji Yan and Qin Jing, forced to play along, looked at each other as if they wanted to stab one another. In a backstage interview, the host asked, "What prompted the two of you to decide to join the show?" Ji Yan shrugged and gave up pretending. "I'm broke." Qin Jing's expression remained blank as he replied coldly, "The company arranged it." During filming, the two refused to cooperate or follow instructions. After losing a game, they were punished with a truth question: What does it feel like to kiss the other person? Ji Yan glanced at Qin Jing and taunted him. "I feel absolutely nothing!" The award-winning actor Qin pressed his lips together and fired back. "It's completely boring!" They thought viewers would prefer the other ex-couples. But when the first episode aired, the two shot straight to the top of the trending charts and set off a wave of discussion.
