★Devoted hottie x shy little scaredy-cat★
#What do you do when your online crush insists on becoming your real-life husband? #
Yun Jingxia never expected to meet her crush at a friend's wedding.
His name was Chi Yan. He was a handsome influencer with a million followers, a graduate student at X University, and he only did this work to pay for his younger brother's education.
He was so dazzling that Yun Jingxia didn't dare approach him. At most, she could write him into a novel as a fictional character to fall for.
But work kept her too busy, and before long she stopped updating her novel.
Just as she was starting to forget that flutter of excitement, a private message suddenly appeared in her author account:
Chi Yan: "Why did you stop updating?"
-
Yun Jingxia never believed that Chi Yan could truly like her. She was just something to entertain him when he was bored, an online buddy he got along with.
When he suggested meeting in person and taking their online relationship further, Yun Jingxia refused without a second thought, even blurting out a panicked lie: "Actually, I'm married in real life, and I have two kids!"
As soon as she sent the message, she logged off in a hurry and never signed in again.
Until one rainy night in June, someone knocked on the door of her flower shop.
Chi Yan stood outside with a suitcase and a cat carrier. Yun Jingxia stared at him, dumbfounded.
He smiled. "The rain's too heavy to get a taxi."
"Can I stay at your place for one night?"
-
Chi Yan had an online girlfriend.
He'd met her at a friend's wedding. She kept sneaking glances at him, then looking away whenever he caught her eye.
His friend said, "Don't let her shyness fool you. She's actually a novelist, and she writes some pretty explicit stuff."
Chi Yan looked intrigued and asked for her pen name.
His friend whispered, "It's her real name, expanded: A Summer Passing Through the Clouds."
After that, he often saw an account with that username saving his videos to a folder called "Inspiration."
When he clicked on her profile, Chi Yan discovered that she'd actually based a fantasy romance novel on him.
On a whim, Chi Yan sent her a private message.
Unfortunately, their connection didn't last long. When he suggested meeting in person, she said, "I can't betray my husband," then vanished in a hurry.
"..."
That very day, Chi Yan asked his friend for the address of her flower shop.
His friend panicked. "What are you going to do?"
Chi Yan gave a derisive smile. "Why, I'm going to see what kind of charm her husband has."
"To make her so devoted to him."
