Hu Xue then proposed formalizing the girlfriend group’s applications, screening, rankings, and public disclosures, while Ling Yi insisted they accept everyone who applied.

• Hu Xue questioned Ling Yi about why he was seeking thousands of online girlfriends, and he explained that he wanted them to eventually take the initiative to break up with him.
