The Years I Spent Undercover

When she heard that her idol's company was hiring, Yan Qingqing submitted her resume full of hope.

She made it through one round after another. Seeing the satisfied smile on the HR representative's face, Yan Qingqing thought she had the job in the bag.

Then she discovered she'd been assigned to work under Xie Yu, her idol's rival.

Yan Qingqing was dumbfounded.

She couldn't help posting online for advice: What do I do if I accidentally get hired by a rival company?

Netizens jokingly suggested: Go undercover!

Yan Qingqing had a sudden flash of inspiration.

So Yan Qingqing worked diligently, fussed over Xie Yu, and did her best to become his trusted aide, hoping she could learn all the dirt on him as soon as possible.

As time went on, Yan Qingqing began to feel that something was off. The way Xie Yu looked at her was terrifying. Had her identity as a mole been exposed?

Xie Yu realized the new assistant seemed to be his fan. Whenever she saw him, she would avoid his gaze, but she was also incredibly attentive and remembered all his preferences.

Xie Yu was troubled. Company rules said that an artist's staff couldn't be fans.

But he didn't want to hurt the young woman, so he decided to turn a blind eye, though he couldn't help keeping his eyes on her.

At a large-scale gala, Yan Qingqing's idol and Xie Yu appeared onstage together.

Hoping to get her idol's autographed photo, Yan Qingqing made up an excuse to Xie Yu, then put on a hat and mask and slipped into the crowd of fans.

When she saw her idol come out, Yan Qingqing's eyes lit up and she rushed forward, only to be caught by Xie Yu, who had been following behind her.

Seeing Yan Qingqing, Xie Yu frowned unconsciously. "If you don't feel well, you shouldn't have come to pick me up."

Yan Qingqing was confused and felt guilty. Touching her mask, she wondered: How on earth did Xie Yu recognize me?

Later, when her identity was exposed, Yan Qingqing quit without hesitation and went back to enjoying her fan life. But for some reason, she kept running into Xie Yu at events.

Whenever she saw Xie Yu glance her way and then look away, Yan Qingqing instinctively breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, the crowd surged and Yan Qingqing nearly fell, only to feel a familiar warmth around her wrist.
