The Friend Who Was Saved

Chu You first met Yan Sheng at Myth. The man’s slightly long black hair curled softly. He seemed separated from everyone by an invisible barrier, and under the kaleidoscopic lights, he was so beautiful he hardly seemed alive. The next time they met, Yan Sheng had his head bowed as he listened to his elders, playing the part of a well-behaved child. A well-behaved child? Chu You scoffed. Well-behaved children didn’t go to Myth. * Yan Sheng was quiet most of the time, but he wasn’t difficult to get along with, except with one person. As time passed, anyone with a shred of perception could see it. A friend teased, “I told you to rein in that young master attitude of yours. I’m curious, what did you do to offend him this badly?” Chu You wore a humorless smile. “How should I know?” He was practically Yan Sheng’s dog already. * Chu You once played a redemption game for five years, and everyone thought he’d fallen in love. He himself hadn’t felt anything special and soon forgot all about it. Naturally, he also forgot that Yan Sheng had been there too. And the person being redeemed was Yan Sheng’s friend. Both leads are devoted only to each other. The blurb has been revised, but the core premise is unchanged. [Coming Soon] From Online Wife to Real Wife A rich guy falls into a video by an online-wife type and encounters the biggest stumbling block of his twenty-three years of life. The video isn’t exactly high definition, but even the blurry footage can’t hide the person’s beauty. He lowers his eyes, sleeves rolled up, and is busy gutting a fish in the kitchen. “Chen-ge transferred me 500 yuan for living expenses yesterday, 100 more than last month. He told me to buy whatever I wanted. He works so hard, so I’m making his favorite fish to reward him.” For the first time in his life, the rich guy encounters a statement so baffling that he refuses to give up, scrubbing back and forth through the video to make sure he heard right. Then he exits in a fury. He’s so angry he can’t sleep that night. Relying on his hazy memory, he searches until dawn. By the time he finds the account called “Xiao Pei’s Daily Life,” the comments have already been overrun by people there for the laughs. The top replies to each one in turn: “You’ve got him wrong. He treats me pretty well.” Rich guy: ...If I pull this kind of stunt again, I’m a dog! Still rich guy: Haters don’t count as dogs. Who could resist cursing out someone this ridiculously dense? And still the rich guy: If life’s so hard, why not come be a real wife at my place? Then he casually, yet spectacularly, lets the luxury watch on his wrist show. The top admires it. “Your watch is beautiful. Is it expensive?” He hints demurely, “Not really. I have lots more at home.” The top sounds hopeful. “Could you send me the link? I want to buy one for Chen-ge too.” The rich guy is shattered. He grits his teeth and blocks him, then swallows his pride and gets close to him, using money to win him over and showering him with affection. Looking at the custom-tailored clothes on the top, the gemstone necklace around his neck, and his smooth skin, he thinks with satisfaction: Now this is what you call a wife. Theme: Don’t let love come too late
