My Blind Date Has Social Anxiety

Next up: The Little Fool Saves the Tortured Shou In real life, Xu Wang is painfully shy, but online, he is the life of the party, the kind of social butterfly who can summon a crowd with a single word. After five years of diligently supporting his idol, he is known in the fandom as "Boss." One day, Xu Wang's dear old dad tries to talk him into a blind date. Xu Wang wraps himself up in his quilt to show his refusal. His father says, "I heard he's a celebrity, and a pretty famous one, too. His name is... Song Chen." Xu Wang peeks one eye out from under the quilt. Ha, Song Chen? His idol's rival. Just a couple of days ago, Xu Wang had rented an entire fleet of cars to show off his idol and paid an online troll army to smear Song Chen. But Song Chen came through without a scratch, and Xu Wang's idol was the one who ended up taking a hit. Go on a blind date with him? Pah! * The first time Xu Wang met Song Chen was on his way to their blind date. Song Chen asked if he was Xu Wang, and Xu Wang said, "No," then ran off. The second time, Xu Wang was in the middle of "fleeing for his life." He was hiding under a changing-room locker when Song Chen "rescued" him. The third time they met, Xu Wang's grandfather handed him straight over to Song Chen, telling Song Chen to take him out and show him the world. Xu Wang: ...Show me what world? I want to stay in my own little well, alone and cut off from the world! * Someone online reveals that Song Chen's mysterious boyfriend has violent tendencies. Then a romance reality show airs, and viewers see the boy standing behind Song Chen the entire time, head bowed as he tugs on Song Chen's shirt hem. Is that what they call violent? How violent can he be? After the show airs, the viewers' reactions gradually change from "Aww, so cute" to "Holy crap, he's terrifying!" - They said he was a sophomore in college. How did he suddenly turn out to be a famous stock data analyst in China? - How did he almost beat the national champion in a shooting competition?! - Wait, the guy who kicked a boxing champion so hard he coughed up blood is Song Chen's boyfriend? Even more unbelievable, he's the very "Han Fei superfan" who has clashed with Song Chen online over Han Fei more than once, the big shot known as "Boss"! Netizens: ...W-we can't do anything about this. Maybe it's fine if he's a little violent. Song Chen, just put up with him, okay? For the sake of his pretty face? [Shy, moneyed idol-chaser (shou) VS relentless, devious coal-briquette-hearted pursuer (gong)] Coming soon: The Little Fool Saves the Tortured Shou In a vicious, badly written novel, the beautiful, tragic shou is tormented a thousand times over and still gets no happy ending. After finishing it, Chi Aibei let out a heartfelt "Tui!" Chi Aibei has been blessed with good luck since childhood and is a hardcore shou fan. After reading this cruel novel about a shou being tortured, he is so furious that he transmigrates into the story as a little fool, a boy who is neither loved by his father nor his mother. The Chi family sends him off to board at school and won't let him come home except for holidays. The little fool Chi Aibei pats his pockets. Empty. Fine, he was getting ahead of himself. Who would give a fool money? - Lin Xiu has no known father and was raised by his grandmother. During his high school entrance exam year, his grandmother suffered a stroke. Now he has to juggle his studies with caring for her in her critical condition. In his previous life, after his grandmother passed away, He Chenjiang offered him a "helping hand." From then on, it seemed like everyone and everything around him existed to torment him. He couldn't escape, and he couldn't hide. Reborn and ready to run from it all, he is stopped in his tracks by a little fool with tear-streaked cheeks... The school's famous little fool sniffles as he pats down every pocket, then pulls out his only valuable possession, a meal card, and holds it out in both hands. A glow like motherly love shines in his eyes. "Big brother, could you help me get into college? I can pay you." Lin Xiu: Where would a fool get money... Wait, the fool wants to go to college? Gradually, people at school realize that the little fool doesn't seem so foolish anymore. Not only is he no longer a fool, he's almost frighteningly clever. He goes from the bottom of the class to the very top, even beating Lin Xiu, who tutors him. The little fool's progress isn't limited to his studies. He blossoms in every way, except whenever someone named He Chenjiang approaches, he bristles, refuses every favor, and pulls Lin Xiu away to hide. He Chenjiang is a little hurt. "Xiao Bei, I'm your big brother Jiangjiang. When you were little, you said you'd marry me when you grew up. Have you forgotten?" Lin Xiu pulls the little fool behind him and looks at He Chenjiang coldly. "What the hell are you dreaming about?" Looking at Lin Xiu's tall back, Chi Aibei notices something that doesn't seem scientifically possible. How did he grow to be as tall as He Chenjiang? But that's not important. What matters is that his precious boy has finally grown a backbone! Teary-eyed Chi Aibei, the proud old dad, is deeply gratified.
