My Ex-Boyfriend Says He's Back from Saving the World

Meng Qing's ex was a cold, aloof, impossibly cool guy: the strong, silent type. One day, he told her he was going to save the world. After he left, he never contacted Meng Qing again. So Meng Qing realized she'd been dumped. Two years later Meng Qing went on a blind date. To her surprise, her date was her ex's cousin, and her ex showed up too. A chance encounter with no way out. Meng Qing gave her ex a cold look, then suddenly saw a line of text appear above his head: [If I tell her I just got back from saving the world, will she believe me?] Meng Qing: "?" Her blind date began introducing himself. "My name's Li Yue. I'm twenty-five, and I own a dessert shop." Meng Qing saw the text above her ex's head change: [He's two hundred and fifty years old, a Taotie. All he does every day is eat, eat, eat.] Just then, a plate of pastries was brought over by a restaurant server. Above her ex's head: [That pastry looks so good, but eating it in front of Qingqing would ruin my cool image. I'll hide and eat it secretly.] Meng Qing: "..." Her blind date said, "I can cook. If we end up together, you won't have to cook." Her ex continued to wear a cold expression, but words kept appearing above his head: [Hah! A paltry trick! So what if you can cook for her? This king can even give birth to her child. Can you do that?] Meng Qing: "...??" ▼Character setup: a heroine with "mind-reading" vs. a delusional, self-important cool guy Theme: Love is companionship
