To get out of the blind dates arranged by her well-meaning aunts, Zhao Fuling had no choice but to replace her profile picture with a photo of her crush, someone she hadn't seen in ages, and call it a matching couple avatar.

Only after everything was set up did she add her blind date on WeChat.

He accepted immediately, and his first question was who the person in her profile picture was and what their relationship was.

The question was forward, but it suited her just fine: [He's my boyfriend. We're very happy together, and I love him very much. You and I can at most be friends. This won't go anywhere.]

The other side was quiet for a while before replying, as if thinking it over: [Sure. Then let's start as friends.]

Zhao Fuling: ...?

To discourage this clueless blind date who didn't know when to back off, she could only slip in little boasts every day about the sweet romance she shared with her "boyfriend."

[We met in high school. He had a crush on me first, and confessed as soon as the college entrance exams were over. We've been together for five years.]

[We were each other's first love. Our first kiss... happened the day after freshman military training ended. The whole department sang love songs for us (blush).]

[His favorite food is roast goose rice noodles from Rongji, but it's far from campus. Once, he took me there on his bike. It was so greasy we both broke out the next day, one pimple on each of our faces, perfectly symmetrical.]

She thought her blind date would get the hint and back off after reading the clingy love story she'd painstakingly made up. But instead...

[Childhood-sweetheart romances are so enviable. Too bad I never got to try one.]

[If you want, I can sing a love song just for you.]

[How come I don't know I break out so easily?]

But before Zhao Fuling could read the last message, it was withdrawn, leaving her utterly confused.

They kept chatting every day.

Zhao Fuling had to admit her blind date was a really good person. He comforted her when she was unhappy, and when she talked to him about a problem, he helped her find a solution. He never forced her to do anything.

She gradually felt that their relationship was getting out of hand. Worse still, making up love stories every day was practically giving her kidney failure!

No. She made up her mind to find an excuse to delete him.

After agonizing over it for a long time, she finally composed a long message during an important event at school. She was walking along the bustling campus path when she sent it.

Just after sending it, she accidentally bumped into someone. She looked up and saw a face both familiar and unfamiliar. The other person stared at her WeChat profile picture for a long moment.

A notification chime pulled her back to her senses.

Her crush, whom she'd thought she'd never see again in her life, held up his phone displaying her breakup message. He gave her a half-smile. "Using my photo to date me is one thing, but didn't you say you and I were so happy together? Why are you breaking up with me?"

Zhao Fuling: ...
