Chapter 11: Online Dating Leads to Real-Life Encounter – A Long-Planned Scheme
Not only Xiaoyuan, but the general public was also surprised that these two got together in this way.
#Song Ying and Qin Shu's online romance blossoms into real life
The topic quickly went viral, with the first image being a close-up shot of Qin Shu's face during the morning's live stream, and a still shot of Song Ying getting out of the car. Under the sunlight, she was radiantly white, exuding a sweet yet cool vibe.
The stunning good looks of the handsome men and beautiful women quickly attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
In an instant, a large number of viewers flooded into the live stream room.
What initially seemed like a heavily photoshopped fake photo to casual viewers turned into a live stream where, upon seeing the charming couple in the video, one delicate and the other wild, they were instantly reluctant to leave.
Holy crap, the video looks even better than the photos! But could the production team have improved the video quality? 1080p isn't enough for me, please make it 4K!
[This boyfriend is so handsome, and you're telling me it's an online relationship that we met in person?]
[Others' online dating vs. mine (pictures) - I still remember the short, ugly, fat, and greasy guy who was a disaster when we met in person last time. Sisters, online dating is risky, be careful when meeting in real life!]
Even online dating apps have jumped on the bandwagon, advertising their services in the live chat.

Netizens were shocked by the circumstances surrounding the relationship between the winning and losing couple, but they were even more curious about the details.
After her initial shock, Xiaoyuan voiced the audience's thoughts.
"Could you elaborate on this part? I believe many viewers would like to know more details, such as why they met online, what happened on the day they met in person, and who confessed first, etc."
"We met online, on a drama forum."
Recalling the past, Song Ying changed her position, nestled more comfortably in Qin Shu's arms, and began to talk about the past.
“Back then, I was studying drama abroad. After each of the theater company’s tours, I would habitually check the reviews. There was one show where the audience was all praising it, except for one person who was extremely critical. I was young and hot-blooded back then, and I thought it was a hater who was deliberately trying to cause trouble, so I went to argue with the person. As a result, we had a heated argument, going from the comments section to private messages.”
"It was only after we talked to each other carefully that I realized that although he was arrogant, he was quite right in some ways. So, we talked about everything from drama to life and found that our values were extremely compatible. We gradually became friends who could talk about anything."
"Before that, I was actually a very pragmatic person. I never believed in things like online romance or meeting someone in real life. To me, it was as childish as playing house. But sometimes, love comes in such an irrational way. Looking back now, I can only say... it's really good."
As she recalled the past, Song Ying's lips unconsciously curled up slightly. The wind outside the window ruffled her hair, and the sunlight slanted down, making her radiate a warm glow.
“We met when I was studying abroad. After I graduated and returned to China, he asked me to meet him to celebrate my graduation. I didn’t want to go at first, but my friends said that we had been chatting for so long, it would be good to see if he was really me or not. After all, we had known each other for so long, but apart from sending messages and making phone calls, we had never even exchanged photos.”
"Then I thought about it, and it made sense. No matter what the outcome, I had to meet him in person, which would be a way to give myself closure regarding my 'online romance.' So I went, but what happened next...emm, it's a bit embarrassing, so I'd better not talk about it."
At this point, Song Ying buried her head in Qin Shu's arms. The camera couldn't see her delicate face, but it could see her bright red ears.
Small, pinkish, like delicate seashells.
Qin Shu touched Song Ying's rabbit-like little ears and chuckled softly, "Actually, saying that our online relationship has led to a real-life meeting is both right and wrong—to be more precise, it's something I've been planning for a long time."
Because her head was nestled in Qin Shu's arms, when those words were spoken, the low, magnetic, and seductive feeling seemed to penetrate directly into her ear canal, echoing and swirling throughout her entire ear canal.
Song Ying raised her head and met Qin Shu's fox-like eyes, which flashed with shrewdness amidst the tender affection.
"All coincidences are merely predetermined by fate, and their outcome depends on human effort," he said.
"What's the meaning?"
Song Ying sat up abruptly, her face full of astonishment.
Is there anything she doesn't know?
Seeing this, Xiaoyuan perked up, "Mr. Qin, are you saying that this online romance wasn't a coincidence, but a setup you orchestrated? Or rather, you knew Miss Song before that? Were you...?"
Xiaoyuan originally wanted to ask, "Was it lust at first sight?"
But looking at Qin Shu's face, which could no longer be described as handsome, she suppressed her anger—with such a stunningly beautiful face, why would she be attracted to someone else's looks?
"Could you elaborate, Mr. Qin?" Xiao Yuan urged excitedly. Who could understand the joy of being up close and personal with the gossip!
"Actually, I've known Teacher Song for a long time, but she didn't know me back then."
"???"
Song Ying grabbed Qin Shu by the collar, but before she could say anything, the car suddenly stopped, and she fell into Qin Shu's arms with a "bang," her nose stinging.
The camera suddenly shook.
However, Song Ying didn't care about any of that. While grimacing and rubbing her nose, she grabbed Qin Shu, her delicate brows furrowed, and interrogated him fiercely, "You knew me all along? Tell me! What exactly happened!"
How infuriating! She never knew!
"Did you hurt yourself?" Qin Shu reached out and rubbed Song Ying's nose. "I told you to sit properly."
"It doesn't hurt at all!" She said it didn't hurt, but she still let Qin Shu caress her, her beautiful hound eyes glaring at him. "If you don't explain this clearly today, I'm not done with you!"
Be careful of motion sickness.
Qin Shu gently pulled the person back into his arms, his voice much softer than before. "When I was little, my family was always busy with work, and I was always home alone. Back then, it was Teacher Song's performance in 'Me and My Family' that accompanied me as I grew up."
"At that time, I thought, this girl is really interesting. I wish I could marry her someday."
"..."
To everyone's surprise, Qin Shu's answer was this.
Song Ying couldn't help but roll her eyes. "I thought you could come up with something amazing."
"Isn't that right?" Qin Shu raised an eyebrow. "I grew up watching Teacher Song's dramas."
"Stop!" Song Ying snorted.
It's one thing for other people to say this, but for Qin Shu to say it makes her sound really old, doesn't it?
Is it her fault that she debuted as a child star?
She's actually younger than Qin Shu!
It is the prime of life.
"Actually, Teacher Song's performance was really outstanding."
As Qin Shu revisited the past, a gentler light appeared in his wild gaze.
Like a tiger sniffing a rose.
"Going to the theater was indeed a coincidence. The Merchant of Venice is one of my favorite Shakespearean works, but I never expected that the actress playing Portia would be the little girl who accompanied me throughout my childhood."
"When the person on the screen is not far from you, I think it would be hard for anyone to suppress the wonderful flutter in their heart. Teacher Song on the stage is shining. When I found out that Teacher Song is single, my heart was so excited that it felt like it was going to jump out of my chest."
"At that moment, I told myself that this time, I couldn't let her get away again."
"Unfortunately, Ms. Song was so engrossed in drama at the time that she had no interest in love. I had no choice but to try to attract her attention."
At this point, Qin Shu sighed.
"Just like when boys used to bully the girls they liked when they were young, the only way I could think of was to start with plays. Sure enough, the naive Ms. Song took the bait."
A warm breeze wafted through the window.
Qin Shu spoke slowly and deliberately, recounting past events unknown to Song Ying. His slender fingers ran through her hair, gently caressing it as if touching a rare treasure.
