When Xie Lin woke up groggily, it was already almost evening.
His phone kept buzzing nonstop, and he hurriedly felt around for it and opened it.
Huh?
Was Lu Zhenzhen this efficient?
A new post notification had popped up from a specially followed account on Weibo. He tapped it and found a freshly uploaded vlog.
He casually played it.
The screen was black at first, then the image slowly brightened, with a slightly rough graininess, like the opening of an old film.
A deep voice tinged with grievance sounded off-screen-
"Who do you want to date?"
In the shot, Xie Lin had his head down. He heard him, but ignored him.
It quickly cut to the next shot.
Xie Lin suddenly lifted his pretty eyes and looked a short distance away, his lips pressed slightly together.
A thumping heartbeat played in the background.
A large hand beside him offered a small piece of cake. Xie Lin turned his head to take it into his mouth, then continued looking down at his phone.
From beginning to end, he never spared the person beside him a glance.
Amid the swirling steam, two figures walked in opposite directions. In the dim yellow light, a sigh sounded off-screen.
In the final shot, Lu Ye held Xie Lin in a bridal carry, the corners of his mouth lifting smugly.
"He's tired."
The camera suddenly pulled back as Lu Ye carried him step by step into the depths of the frame.
The video ended there.
The comments section was full of wailing.
[What garbage editor cut this? What even is this? A domineering CEO's forced love?]
[Lu Gougou and Tao Miaomiao clearly love each other! I won't let you spread these lies about my ship!]
[Good grief, what is this tragic-ending aesthetic? Where's my fucking Italian
