Xia Chi has a crush on a beautiful girl. He hears that she likes watching handsome guys online, so he steels himself and signs up for an account too. Every now and then, he tries filming outfit-change transitions like an influencer, but his views never amount to much.
Then one day, while livestreaming in his dorm as he tries to learn a hand-dance, his roommate unexpectedly comes back.
His roommate is six-foot-three, with broad shoulders, a slim waist, and long legs. He has dyed highlights in his hair and an earring, and looks intimidating and unapproachable. They have barely spoken a handful of words to each other.
Hearing his roommate scoff behind him, Xia Chi jumps and immediately ends the livestream.
But to everyone's surprise, the clip featuring his roommate goes viral.
In the slow motion, romantic background music, and pink-bubble filters added by netizens, the handsome, strapping guy casually lowers his eyes and meets the gaze of the fair, pretty boy, who shyly looks down.
Xia Chi's followers multiply more than tenfold overnight, and even his crush follows him!
Xia Chi: !
He approaches his roommate. “Um... sorry to bother you.”
His roommate gives him a fierce look. “What?”
“It's just... everyone thinks we're a couple now.” Under the glare that feels like an X-ray, Xia Chi nervously asks, “Would you film videos with me?”
“Not a chance.” His roommate frowns, his tone full of disdain. “I'm homophobic.”

Duan Baiyan firmly rejects his roommate's request to fake a relationship for online attention.
When he refuses, the guy starts pulling little tricks behind his back.
He sneaks him into the frame, buys things to match his, and uses clumsy, low-grade tactics, all while thinking Duan Baiyan hasn't noticed.
Duan Baiyan scoffs at him, but can't help wondering what else he might try.
Cutesy, sugary poses in front of the camera? Annoying.
Practicing dance on the balcony late at night, his snowy-white, supple waist swaying back and forth? Annoying.
Secretly filming him, then quietly buying him watermelon milk the next day to soothe his conscience? So damn annoying!
At last, Duan Baiyan can't take it anymore and corners him.
Xia Chi realizes Duan Baiyan has found out he's using him to boost his views. He hangs his head and apologizes. “I'm sorry. You can hit me.”
He watches Duan Baiyan raise a hand and closes his eyes in despair.
But the hand lands on his face and gives his cheek a gentle pinch. He hears Duan Baiyan ask through gritted teeth:
“Who were you video-chatting with last night? You sounded like you were having so much fun.”
