The first time they met: a bar in a small town.
Shu Lan asked Zhou Siyu, "Are you really not interested in being my boyfriend? I spoil my boyfriends."
The man gave a scornful laugh as he lifted his glass with long, slender fingers.
"Why not?" Shu Lan pressed.
"I don't date older women," Zhou Siyu said dismissively.
"We're only four years apart. These days, unless the gap is seven or eight years, how can you even call it dating an older woman?"
Zhou Siyu: "..."
Six months later: Jiangcheng International Airport.
With a huge computer bag slung over her shoulder, Shu Lan looked back hesitantly at the young man surrounded by admirers at the boarding gate.
Her coworker glanced at her. "That looks like a pretty popular celebrity lately. I hear his family has quite a bit of influence, too. Are you a fan?"
"No. I think he might be my boyfriend, who disappeared for months."
Her coworker laughed. "Don't joke around."
The man walked up to them, took off his sunglasses, and looked down at Shu Lan with an air of noble hauteur. "Here to see me off, Sister?"
Shu Lan ground her back teeth, swung her computer bag at him, and sneered, "Carry this. Once you're on the plane, you'd better give me an explanation!"
Much later: on the sofa in a villa.
"Baby, don't. I really have to go to a meeting," Shu Lan said, pushing away the arm wrapped around her neck.
The Zhou Siyu who dazzled everyone in public clung to Shu Lan's neck and murmured in his deep, magnetic voice, "Can't you skip it? Didn't you say you spoil your boyfriend?"
Shu Lan sighed. "That doesn't mean we can do this every day..."
"You don't love me anymore, is that it? You're sick of me, Sister?" Zhou Siyu sat up, looking pitiful, weak, and helpless.
"..." Shu Lan said, "Try a different act, Movie King. Do we have to perform this every single day?"
