1.
Wen Tang is socially anxious, especially when it comes to interacting with people of the opposite sex her own age.
One day, she came across a post online:
[Dating can help you overcome social anxiety and become more outgoing.]
Wen Tang was skeptical.
Then one day, beneath a sunshower, rain streamed from the eaves in glistening strands. Wen Tang stood beneath them, soaked through and looking miserable.
That's when she saw He Xunzhou, the most popular guy in their department, a darling of fate from a prominent family.
Through the haze, He Xunzhou walked toward her against the light, umbrella in hand, while his friends looked on in surprise. He tilted the umbrella toward her, then handed her a packet of tissues.
"Need a hand?"
The boy's clear, bright voice mingled with the clamor of the rain. Behind his tall, slender figure glowed a warm, hazy light.
Wen Tang lowered her head awkwardly to look at her toes, but an idea had already begun to take shape.
It was time to put her social-anxiety treatment plan into action.

After they got together, Wen Tang was constantly on edge, afraid He Xunzhou would realize she hadn't started dating him for the right reasons.
Later, she heard that He Xunzhou hated being played more than anything. After tossing and turning for days, she told him they should break up.
He Xunzhou lowered his eyes, his expression turning icy. His gaze was unreadable. "Why?"
Wen Tang stammered, "I... don't think we're right for each other."
"Is your social anxiety cured?"
His deep, magnetic voice lingered by her ear. He Xunzhou's dark eyes were fathomless as he fixed his gaze on the stunned girl before him.
"You can't give up halfway through treatment, Wen Tangtang."

He Xunzhou noticed a girl in his class and department. She was bright and lively around people she knew, but shy and reserved around strangers or in public.
The more he noticed her, the more his heart gravitated toward her.
In the end, He Xunzhou got what he wanted, and they got together.
Then, not long afterward, he happened to find Wen Tang's Social Anxiety Treatment Diary.
He Xunzhou: …
So he'd just been a tool to her.
