A girl with a fear of physical contact with men x a cold-faced, warm-hearted hopeless romantic
Jiang Mian has a mild fear of physical contact with men.
After necessity forced her to share a place with a handsome, cold-faced guy, her symptoms got worse.
Within three meters, whenever her roommate came near, she'd start breathing rapidly and go blank. In more serious cases, her heart would race, her hands would shake, and she'd bump her head hard enough to get a lump.
Her best friend said this couldn't go on and suggested she date a man she liked, to help her get over her fear.
Jiang Mian asked, “How am I supposed to date someone when I can't even touch him?”
Her best friend said, “Then start with an online relationship and work your way up.”

With help from her best friend's huge social circle, Jiang Mian found herself an incredible online boyfriend.
They had a few video calls. At Jiang Mian's request to “keep our faces off camera for now,” they both sensibly kept their cameras pointed below the neck.
The man on screen was tall, broad-shouldered, long-legged, stylishly dressed, and eloquent. He was also gentle and considerate with her, replying to her messages no matter how late it got. After dating online for a while, Jiang Mian not only stopped feeling repulsed by him, but even began thinking, “Maybe we should meet in person.”
So when her online boyfriend suggested they meet up, Jiang Mian happily agreed.
On the day they were supposed to meet, Jiang Mian dressed up carefully and headed out. In her excitement, she accidentally bumped into her roommate.
Her roommate was a handsome, cold-faced man who was always hard to find. The two of them had barely spoken. Jiang Mian wanted to apologize for bumping into him, but her fear of physical contact with men kicked in. Her face flushed, she started panting and shaking, and clutching her chest, she blurted out, “Oh no, I can't take this.”
Her roommate was speechless. “You bumped into me, and now you're trying to scam me?”
His cold, exasperating tone made Jiang Mian swallow her apology.
-
They'd arranged to meet at a cafe.
When Jiang Mian arrived, she took a deep breath at the entrance and tried to overcome her fear of men, hoping to meet her online boyfriend as her gentlest, most refined self.
She walked inside and looked up.
And came face to face with the roommate she'd bumped into that morning.
The man frowned. “You...”
“I...” Jiang Mian was flustered for a moment, then her brain short-circuited. “I'm here to break up with you. I have a fear of men.”
