■Carefree CEO x Sweet, Well-Behaved Secretary

Pei Chuan was carefree and debonair, while Meng Ying was innocent and sweet. Though their personalities were complete opposites, their paths crossed.

As his secretary, Meng Ying knew perfectly well that he played the field and never gave his heart to anyone.

Until one day, Pei Chuan suddenly said, "Meng Ying, would you be my girlfriend?"

The words came so naturally from his lips. Unable to resist the temptation any longer, she felt her heart pound and nodded.

He suddenly pulled her onto his lap, wrapped an arm around her waist, and pressed his moist lips to hers. Their eyelashes trembled, their breathing unsteady.

They were intimate again and again, inseparable. He held her as they left one trail of footprints after another along the beach, watched the sunrise with her asleep in his arms, and listened beneath the deep sea to the beating of his heart for her.

She had fallen into a beautiful dream, only to learn it was nothing but an illusion.

After they broke up, Meng Ying called his name one last time, her voice calm and measured. "Pei Chuan, it's over. I hope we never meet again."

Pei Chuan met her gaze, and saw nothing but determination. In that moment, his heart gave a strange, sluggish throb of pain.

Later, at the entrance to a shadowy alley, Pei Chuan stopped her. Looking into her clear, pristine eyes, he asked, "What if I can't move on?"

Fireflies symbolize romantic, pure love. She was his firefly. Though faint and easy to overlook, she had already lit up his world!

■His Gaze Is So Flirtatious: Mutual Secret Crush | Reunion After Years Apart | Dating Variety Show

Xu Zhiyi ran into Li Xuan, wearing sunglasses and a mask, in the elevator. Thinking he was a sasaeng fan, she nearly pulled out her pepper spray.

When she found out he was the new neighbor next door, she couldn't help cheering inside. He was her unattainable dream!

Later, Xu Zhiyi joined a dating show and was unexpectedly paired up with him.

Xu Zhiyi couldn't believe her luck!

But fans online were shocked. Given Li Xuan's status in the entertainment industry, why would he appear on this show?!

And why would he fake a couple pairing with some little-known actress?

Apart from her looks, what could she possibly have that was good enough for their precious idol?!

No!!! We absolutely refuse to let this show air!

Later, on camera, Li Xuan turned to Xu Zhiyi and said, "What if I told you I like girls like you? Would you think it was just for the show?"

Aww, my idol's gaze is so flirtatious!!! Does he really like her??!

They have such amazing chemistry! So sweet, so sweet!!! Aww!!! Show producers, give us more behind-the-scenes footage. We can't get enough!

The fans who had once sworn to stop following him did leave, but they became fans of the couple instead.

During filming, under the moonlight, the girl fell asleep on a lounge chair. Li Xuan couldn't help watching her profile, his eyes deep and unreadable. When she stirred and woke, he hurriedly looked away, lowering his eyes to avoid her gaze. His ears and face turned red, and he looked utterly uncomfortable!

The fans watching weren't calm at all. Was this a setup by the producers, or had they fallen for each other? Was my idol blushing? But this is just too good to ship!

Later, in an interview, the host asked Li Xuan what he regretted from his youth.

Li Xuan replied, "When I was young, I liked a girl but never confessed to her."

And finally, the girl Li Xuan had liked when he was young was uncovered. The little-known actress was the person their idol had loved all along!!!

Couple fans: This pairing is the real deal!
