The Online Romance with My Childhood Friend Went Off the Rails

Jiang Musheng has always felt that his life is the perfect foil to his childhood friend. They were compared to each other from the time they were little, and his friend really was better than him at everything.

After his childhood friend got under his skin yet again, Jiang Musheng came up with a bold idea: he would pretend to be a girl in the game they often played and start an online relationship with him.

Then, after his friend fell for him, he would reveal who he really was. Just imagining how mortified his friend would be when he realized he had fallen for Jiang Musheng made him so excited he wanted to roll around on the floor.

Full of confidence, Jiang Musheng got right to it. He made a female account and sent a private message to his friend's game account.

Little Cherry: Hey, handsome, want to date online?

The other person replied almost instantly.

Nothing to Do with Romance: Sure. Send me a maid outfit photo first.

Jiang Musheng: !!?

Jiang Musheng had lived for over twenty years before discovering that his seemingly aloof and otherworldly childhood friend was actually a total scumbag in private!

The moment Qiao Zhuo saw the game message, he knew his childhood friend was up to something again.

He casually copied a cheesy pickup line from somewhere else, hoping to make his friend give up. Who could have guessed that half an hour later, the other person would actually send him a photo?

Qiao Zhuo: ...

Qiao silently saved the photo in a hidden folder on his computer containing tens of thousands of pictures.
