He Chun has an online boyfriend, and their relationship is in that ambiguous, not-quite-official stage.
Handsome, strikingly beautiful, with an exotic allure, his long black curls falling to his waist and always gleaming in the sunlight. Every inch of him radiates a wild beauty that utterly captivates He Chun.
Years ago, a simple profile picture was all it took to leave He Chun, who spent his days roaming the interstellar internet, completely smitten. He has been hopelessly in love ever since.
Oh, you ask if he isn't worried about being catfished?
Of course not. He Chun says he's checked out that face from every angle during countless video calls. This man is absolutely his ideal type!
And today is the day they finally meet in person after dating online.
His boyfriend picked the location: Centaurus, the hottest tourist planet around.
Dressed in his sharpest suit and holding a carefully prepared bouquet of roses, He Chun waits nervously for the man of his dreams to appear.
As long as nothing goes wrong, after this trip they'll finally be able to make their relationship official.

Kelu is the strongest black centaur in his tribe, and also the leading candidate to become its next chieftain. He has countless admirers, but he turns down every confession without exception, saying:
"I've already fallen for someone."
When people ask who it is, Kelu smiles and replies:
"We haven't actually met yet, but I think..."
"He must be the most pure and holy white horse."
[The real wild horse: Kelu, a centaur standing 2.45 meters tall, gong x He Qiu, a human who only comes up to his crush's chest and discovers in person that he can't even see his face, shou]
After they finally meet properly for the first time,
He Chun/Kelu look down, their pupils dilating in shock, roses hitting the ground, and exclaim in unison:
"Where are your legs?!"
