Fake Couple Again

-1- One day after work, Yu Guiwan received a package from the company Dreamer. Dreamer, a hugely popular tech company in recent years, had launched a groundbreaking piece of technology this year: the Dreamer Couple. The advertisement promised that the device would help users use their imagination to create family members, lovers, and friends of their very own. Based on the user’s settings, the device would simulate the other person’s basic reactions. Your in-game character would then keep learning and evolving, gradually becoming the person you had always dreamed of. The device was hailed as a miracle of code. [No matter who you are, in the game you can become part of a hypothetical couple made just for you.] It was that slogan that convinced Yu Guiwan to place an order. -2- No one knew that Yu Guiwan had spent her entire college career secretly in love with Jiang Zhirun. Beneath the awards platform, Yu Guiwan applauded with all her might for Jiang Zhirun, standing onstage, spirited and confident. During the fitness test, Jiang Zhirun lapped Yu Guiwan. The young man brushed past her, his clothes carrying a lovely scent, and her cheeks turned red. At the school store one summer, Yu Guiwan opened the freezer beside Jiang Zhirun and bought the same flavor of ice cream as he did. Yu Guiwan thought it was wonderful to love Jiang Zhirun like this. He was the pride of everyone around him, the brightest star in the sky. For an ordinary girl like her, it was enough to receive a little of his starlight. As long as she could see him still shining. At a party the day before graduation, her classmates started playing Truth or Dare. Yu Guiwan was always unlucky, and she drew a card: [Play the other person's lover unconditionally for one day.] Jiang Zhirun was sitting far away from her. Everyone was busy drinking with him, and no one noticed the card Yu Guiwan had drawn. Only she sat there nervously twisting her denim miniskirt, which reached almost to her knees. Jiang Zhirun pushed through the crowd, rose from the shadows, and walked over to Yu Guiwan, holding up the Jack of Diamonds. His tipsy eyes shone like stars.
