The struggling idol group MOONRISE had one year left on their contract before disbanding. They had almost no work and scraped by on livestreams and their base salary. Of the five members, some had given up, while others had taken to running market stalls.
Shen Xuxi, the group's representative slacker, somehow ended up with a CP of her own. Her partner had black-and-white hair, a gloomy username, and a signature straight out of the early internet era. Anyone with such a distinctive soul at twenty had to be perfect for her.
To make them look like a match made in heaven, Shen Xuxi quickly adopted the same three-part aesthetic.
Shen Xuxi: "Baby, don't we look perfect together?"
Xie Shining, who had logged back into an account from eight years ago and couldn't be bothered to change her avatar: "?"

Xie Shining felt like a donkey must have kicked her in the head for her to accept a CP request from a stranger. The other girl's level of weirdness rivaled that of her teammate Shen Xuxi.
Whenever they played games, the other girl came up with a whole string of melodramatic scenarios.
[Today, I'm the woman you love but can't have. Tomorrow, I'm getting married.]
[We've been together for three years, and today I found out in the game that I'm just a substitute.]
[We broke up a year ago and met again in the game, only for me to discover you've fallen for someone else. I'm going to steal you back.]
[The Divine Won't Cry: Immature. Boring.]
[I'll Cry If My Wife Doesn't Love Me: You're clearly having fun.]

Just before MOONRISE was about to disband, the group suddenly became popular again, and all the members renewed their contracts. Shen Xuxi's schedule filled up with work. When she realized that she and her CP had only exchanged six messages in a month, she decided to break things off and let the other girl go.
[I'll Cry If My Wife Doesn't Love Me: I'm sorry, sis. My mom found out and won't let me date. I'm only fourteen this year.]
[The Divine Won't Cry: I lied to you too. I'm only eleven this year. Let's delete each other.]
Shen Xuxi and Xie Shining: "?"
Later, MOONRISE rebooted their variety show, this time with a dating-show format. During one segment, Xie Shining accidentally logged into a game account she hadn't used in a year.
Staring at the familiar username, Shen Xuxi suddenly asked, "You're twelve this year, right?"

After Running into My Ex on a Dating Show
Cheng Siyi had one very brief relationship in college. For various reasons, they broke up after just three months.
She never expected to run into her ex-girlfriend Wen Qiran again on the dating show for ordinary people she was taking part in.
Wen Qiran looked no different from when they were in college: brash, carefree, and inconsiderate of everyone else. On the very first day, she scared off every guest except herself.
Still, Cheng Siyi couldn't shake the feeling that Wen Qiran had a problem with her. One quiet night, a drunk Wen Qiran sneaked into her room.
Wen Qiran, trying to hold back her anger and hurt: "You lied to me? You're straight?"
Cheng Siyi: "No."
Wen Qiran asked, "Then why are you on this show? And why are you smiling at those men?"
Cheng Siyi, confused: "Didn't you get a script? Mine says I'm popular with everyone, but that I'll leave on my own."
Wen Qiran: "?"
Cheng Siyi mused, "Besides, the show doesn't say women can't date women."
Wen Qiran: "Fine. Then you'll get a different script."
A sharp-eyed viewer noticed that at some point, a line of tiny text had appeared beneath the show's opening screen: "A dating show with no restrictions on sexual orientation."
Viewers: "Something's off. Very off."
Theme: Strive to improve, work hard, and contribute to society

Pre-collection: "After Encountering My Ex-Girlfriend in a Love Show" Cheng Siyi had a very short relationship when she was in college. Due to various reasons, they broke up in a hurry after three months. Unexpectedly, she met her ex-girlfriend Wen Qiran again on this amateur love variety show she participated in. Wen Qiran looked no different from when she was in college. Zhang Yang was arrogant and did not care about other people's feelings. She scared away all the guests except her on the first day. However, she always felt that Wen Qiran had a lot of objections to her. In the dead of night, a drunk Wen Qiran sneaked into her room. Wen Qiran suppressed her anger and grievance: Did you lie to me? Are you a straight woman? Cheng Siyi: No. Wen Qiran asked: Then you will participate in this show? You still laughed with those stinky men. Cheng Siyi was confused: Didn't you get the script? I am a script that is very popular but will leave alone. Wen Qiran:? Cheng Siyi thought thoughtfully: And in this program, there is no rule against girls and girls. Wen Qiran: OK, then change the script. Leeuwenhoek viewers discovered that at some point in the show there was a line of small words "A love variety show that does not restrict sexual orientation" below the screen. Audience: Something is wrong, very wrong.
After I felt that both parties had lost their horses, we went straight to the outline.
Xixi (making a villain's voice and making a chainsaw sound): Song Wanzhi, you know too much
The story I've been waiting for so long to open, you told me it was going to end just after I entered v (heartbroken)
This speed is too fast!
Write more, I like to see two people getting tired of each other
This book is very interesting, but why are the collections and reviews not so good?
Xiao Song: Radar is hurting me!
Song Wanzhi: I know too much!
Come on, this is the first time I read a short story written by the author 💪
