Heart-Pounding Syndrome

[Bright yet gloomy, genuinely multiple-personality, obsessive uke & Lovelorn, fake multiple-personality, devoted seme]

Xu Yingchen suffers from a severe paranoid personality disorder.

His symptoms include sensitivity and suspicion, delusions that he will be harmed, an extreme lack of security, and doubting his lover's loyalty without any evidence.

After realizing he had a disorder and that it was getting worse, he didn't want to leave his boyfriend battered and bruised, so he chose to break up.

His boyfriend couldn't convince him to stay and boarded a flight to Melbourne.

That day, a blizzard struck, the worst in a decade. Xu Yingchen watched the plane depart, lowered his eyes, and typed with stiff fingers: "Don't come looking for me. Goodbye."

Then, to stop himself from losing control again, he blocked him.

People said that, besides medication, treating the disorder required learning to let go and move on.

Xu Yingchen had yet to convince himself to give up his obsessive love when the negative emotions brought on by the breakup started pushing him toward thoughts of ending his life.

He knew he wanted to live.

"Fuck, if loving one person doesn't work, surely loving ten will?"

So Xu Yingchen chose the approach that would cause the least harm to society:

Online dating to distract himself.

After chatting with "a pure-hearted 185-centimeter college student," "a fitness instructor who loves posting ab pics on his feed," "a gaming carry who guarantees easy wins," and "a gentle, gentlemanly university advisor" as potential flirts, Xu Yingchen's condition noticeably improved.

Then the internet platforms suddenly tightened their regulations, and users' IP addresses were revealed.

Xu Yingchen discovered that all their IP addresses were identical: Melbourne.

Xu Yingchen: "..."

There was an idiot.

There were two, actually.

1. The uke is cheerful, but he's ill.

2. His symptoms will ease to the point where their physical effects can be ignored (and medication is unnecessary), but he won't recover completely (meaning his excessive possessiveness toward the seme).

3. In this story, all social apps show users' real IP addresses after the crackdown, including Green Bubble and Penguin.

The blurb was screenshotted and archived on the day it was posted. Plagiarists will be held accountable.
