Taylor Swift's Failed Attempt to Poach

Taylor Swift is my fan?

Lin Yuan was surprised not only because she was a future superstar, but also because he was a fan of Taylor Swift himself.

In the future timeline, during the days he was bedridden, her songs had comforted Lin Yuan's soul through many painful times.

For Lin Yuan, his favorite song by Taylor Swift was "All Too Well," which was also a favorite among many Swifties.

This song deeply influenced Lin Yuan's views on love, making him realize that the most fundamental logic of relationships is the compatibility of needs.

Perhaps the beginning of most relationships between men and women stems from mutual attraction. At this point, people are blinded by infatuation and cannot see the mismatch in their needs.

In this song, the female protagonist's attraction to the male protagonist is her innocence, symbolized by a scarf, possibly the most famous scarf ever.

Who says only Easterners use objects to express emotions?

As the passion between the two fades, intimate relationships must face the test of compatible needs. Both must tolerate each other's flaws and provide the value the other needs.

The male protagonist, however, is childish and immature. He loudly denounces damn patriarchy while acting like a chauvinist. He's hypocritical without realizing it.

The lyric: "I'll get older but your lovers stay my age."

I will grow old, but your lovers will always be young and beautiful.

No one is eighteen forever, but there is always someone who is eighteen.

This directly exposed the male protagonist's hidden thoughts; all he needed was a young and beautiful woman to adorn himself.

Leo DiCaprio should give a thumbs-up.

But people like the male protagonist can never experience the mutual protection under absolute trust between men and women, that invincible sense of security.

Only sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity.

Lin Yuan found it hard to imagine that a 22-year-old girl could write such lyrics. Taylor Swift was precocious, always more mature than her peers, and knew what she wanted earlier.

As a fan of Taylor Swift, Lin Yuan was very happy about today's encounter; this feeling of being fans of each other was also novel.

He happily signed, "Taylor: Wishing you the whole world in the days to come. Lin Yuan."

Then he handed the autograph book back to Taylor.

"Well, goodbye then." Lin Yuan smiled and prepared to leave.

"Wait, do you have a girlfriend?" Taylor stopped him and asked directly.

"What?"

"If not, you can consider me."

"Little girl, if you want to play house, go find your friends," Lin Yuan thought, wanting to laugh. American kids are too precocious.

"I don't like those immature brats. You're more charming. And don't treat me like a child! I'm not young anymore."

"Alright, but I still have to apologize. I already have someone I like."

"Is it the girl you shared a blanket with? Although she's very pretty and has long legs, I'm not bad either. In a few more years, I won't lose to her," Taylor insisted.

Looking at the 155cm-tall little Taylor Swift, Lin Yuan found it a bit amusing.

She was certainly right; in a few more years, her height would reach 180cm, and she would be tall, radiant, and stunning.

But his refusal wasn't because Taylor Swift wasn't attractive enough.

He had a very good impression of the future Taylor Swift, but that was purely out of a fan's admiration for her.

The object of his admiration was the shining her on the future stage, definitely not this little girl in front of him.

Currently, he only found this little girl interesting and cute, but he wouldn't have any other thoughts.

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "Everyone has their own destiny. The right person for you will appear at the right time."

"I think the timing of your appearance is just right. Okay, then I'll ask differently. Do you mind having one more girlfriend?" the little blonde girl asked with a smile.

Lin Yuan shook his head, about to refuse, when he saw Taylor Swift continue:

"I think you should try!"

"You can think of it this way: suppose ten or twenty years from now, you've been married to that girl for many years. But by then, your marriage has lost its passion, and she has become that nagging middle-aged woman."

"You start recalling the women you missed in your life, and you start wondering if you would have been more compatible and happier if you hadn't chosen her back then and had been with another woman."

Taylor Swift earnestly pointed at herself and continued, "And I might be one of the women you recall missing."

"Your future self will imagine if it would have been better if you had been with me back then. You'll constantly think about this possibility, feeling it's a shame you didn't try."

"But today, you can give your future self an answer. You can try me first, and maybe you'll find that I'm not that great either, just as nagging, boring, and passionless, and it's not a pity to have missed me."

"But maybe you'll find that you're very happy with me, that every day is full of passion, and that choosing me has truly made a difference in your life."

"Whatever the outcome, you'll have one less regret in the future."

"Isn't that good? I allow you to have two boats, so you can only win, never lose."

Taylor Swift said all that in one breath and then looked at Lin Yuan expectantly.

"I've seen 'Before Sunrise.' Don't try to trick me with movie lines," Lin Yuan replied irritably.

He added mentally: Little kid, don't watch romance movies all day.

"Damn it! That's not important, what's important is that what I said makes perfect sense!" Taylor Swift said urgently.

It made no sense at all.

Taylor Swift would never have guessed that she wouldn't be confused.

Twenty years later, Liu Yifei hadn't become a nagging middle-aged woman. She remained as radiant and captivating as ever, the white moonlight in countless hearts.

If she had been with him then, she would never have lost her passion.

Taylor Swift would have never imagined that Lin Yuan was truly someone from the future, someone who knew exactly what his future self would regret.

As for Taylor Swift, Lin Yuan was so familiar with her personality that he couldn't be more familiar. As a devoted fan, he understood perfectly what kind of person Taylor Swift was.

How could she possibly like a man she had just met? How could she like him enough to be willing to accept him seeing someone else?

Lin Yuan was 100% confident that if he accepted her unreliable suggestion, she would immediately throw away the sliver of budding good feelings she had for him into the trash.

She looked down on scumbags like that from the bottom of her heart. Perhaps in the future, she would even write a song, using biting lyrics to mock his embarrassing behavior.

Taylor Swift's actions today were a sting operation. If he took the bait, it would prove he wasn't worthy of her affection.

Lin Yuan understood her approach. When you want to invest a lot of emotion in someone, it's best to first confirm they are worth it.

"The biggest truth is that you shouldn't force a man who doesn't belong to you. Whether it's men or women, being a simp is never good," Lin Yuan refused again.

"Simp?"

"That's not important. In any case, I wish you good luck and hope you meet someone truly suitable for you soon," Lin Yuan said.

"I'm actually starting to like you a little now!" Taylor Swift's eyes shone brighter.

Lin Yuan suddenly realized that by refusing her, he had also passed her test.

As a fan of Taylor Swift, he naturally knew how persistent she was when pursuing something and how strong her determination was to overcome all difficulties.

Just as he wanted to explain more clearly and refuse further, a line of golden system text suddenly appeared before his eyes:

[It is your duty as a fan to help Taylor Swift avoid major pitfalls in her growth path. Skill rewards will be given based on the host's dedication.]

Sys! tem!

This damn system had once again produced a generous reward, but it was asking Lin Yuan to do something he himself wanted to do.
