A Sweet Little Online Romance

[A sweet online romance. If you’re interested, add it to your favorites!]

A new item had just gone on sale directly from the in-game shop for 1,095 yuan, and the world chat was flooded with messages: "Buying xx item for 1,095. Pay in installments over 1,095 days, one yuan a day, and we can be lovey-dovey for three years."

The top is a wealthy high schooler who’s starved for affection, and the bottom is a fun-loving jokester.

The bottom copied the message and posted it in world chat, not expecting the top to actually message him privately.

"Is the three-year payment plan for real?"

Thinking the other guy was joking around too, the bottom replied without a second thought: "No tricks, no small print."

The very next second, he received a System notification: Player xxx has sent you an item.

The bottom was stunned. He added the top on WeChat to return the money, and the top was very upset.

"You actually lied to me!"

It's rare to find someone so gullible online. The bottom thought the other person was an elementary schooler with more money than sense. Not wanting to hurt a young child's feelings, he sent the top an item of equal value by another means. Then, because he couldn't bring himself to deceive anyone, he really did transfer one yuan to the top every day and keep him company in chat.

When the top logged in and saw the gift the bottom had sent in his System mailbox, his face flushed with embarrassment.

[Player xxx sent you [Eternal Starlight]. Of all the sights in the world, you alone are irreplaceable. There is a long road ahead, and I want to walk it with you.]

The top suspected the bottom wanted to start an online romance with him, and the fact that the bottom chatted with him every day only confirmed it.

At first, the top would furrow his brow, thinking online dating was unreliable and not the right path. When chatting with the bottom, he kept dropping hints, trying to "set him straight."

Until one day, he received a voice message from the bottom. He couldn't resist opening it and listening again and again, his gaze gradually drifting.

What's wrong with online dating? Let's do it! Let's go all in! Anyone who doesn't is no man!

The bottom began to realize that the wealthy, gullible elementary schooler he was supposed to keep company for three years was a little odd.

First, he wasn't an elementary schooler at all, but a high schooler.

Second, he loved chatting with the bottom and reported every little detail of where he'd been and what he'd done each day. The bottom hurriedly forwarded him several articles about protecting your privacy when making friends online.

Third, he was far too "accidental": accidentally sent a photo of his abs, then deleted it; accidentally sent a voice message calling the bottom "big brother" in a coquettish voice, then deleted it; accidentally kept the bottom on a voice call all night, then apologized guiltily and ordered him breakfast...

Wasn't this supposed to be just keeping him company in chat? This was the kind of thing you did in an online romance, wasn't it?

Over time, the bottom grew confused, fell for him, and shamefully let himself be swept away.
