Luo Xiaodong's mom sent her an ultimatum: "If you don't bring home a boyfriend for New Year's this time, you can forget about coming inside!"
Desperate, Xiaodong called her friend. "SOS! Do you know anyone else in the same boat who could team up with me for the trip home and pretend to be my boyfriend?"
Her friend asked, "What are your requirements?"
Xiaodong said, "Not someone from my company, not a classmate, and he can't be so good-looking that he makes me look like a bad match. Otherwise my mom won't believe us!"
Her friend replied, "...Actually, I do know someone."
Two days later, Xiaodong never expected to actually meet this fake boyfriend at the airport. Even more absurdly, she knew him...
Before the plane took off, she frantically messaged her friend: Where did you find such a handsome man?!
Her friend replied, "My husband says he hasn't been near a woman in over twenty years. Apparently... you know what I mean~"
Two weeks later:
Luo Xiaodong: "So much for him not being near women!"
He pinned her in his arms. "I never said that."
Both get their comeuppance
Kindling meets a blazing fire
The "all men slow me down when I draw my sword" kind of dramatic, looks-obsessed woman who only looks, never touches
vs.
The cold-faced man who plays along, convinced that "women only love me for my face"
