A hint of surprise flashed in Luo Shimiao's eyes; they actually used her photo as wallpaper.
She opened WeChat, found her own profile picture, and saw her real name in the contact name. She hadn't given herself any strange nicknames. When she thought of the nickname she had for Gu Nian, she blinked nervously.
Before opening the photo album, she was afraid she would see something she shouldn't, but she was wrong.
In the photo album, at a glance, there were photos that Gu Nian had taken for her. She picked out three: one was a photo of her standing at the bow of the boat, one was a photo of her and Gu Nian, and the other was a photo of her eating hot pot.
I paired it with a photo of my current face mask, made it into a four-grid layout, added some caption, and posted it.
Luo Shimiaomiaomiao: The boyfriend the show provided, isn't he handsome? Aren't you envious and jealous?
Within just one minute, there were thousands of comments.
Seeing the ever-increasing number of comments and likes, Luo Shimiao's eyes widened, and she showed it to Gu Nian: "I think I've really become famous."
Gu Nian's gaze fell on the text, and he picked up his phone, logged onto Weibo, and posted a Weibo post.
Gu Nian: The girlfriend the program team sent out, I'm very satisfied with her.
The image is accompanied by nine photos of Luo Shimiao.
Luo Shimiao was looking at Gu Nian's Weibo post and saw that it had over 10,000 comments in less than a minute, which made her realize the disparity in the world.
A headline titled "Time Couple" quickly went viral, referring to the romantic relationship between Luo Shimiao and Gu Nian, a couple nickname given to them by netizens.
Luo Shimiao: "I don't think I've followed you yet. Let me follow you."
Gu Nian glanced at Luo Shimiao with a smile, put down her phone and continued working, while Luo Shimiao argued with her haters next to her.
One works quietly, the other swears incessantly.
After cursing for about five or six minutes, Luo Shimiao finally came to his senses.
Luo Shimiao stuck out her tongue and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I got carried away and disturbed your work. I'll leave now."
As soon as I stood up, a large hand pressed me back onto the bench.
Gu Nian: "Don't make a fuss, stay here and keep me company."
"Oh, oh." Luo Shimiao nodded blankly, her thoughts still immersed in the man's words.
She felt that Gu Nian's words were becoming increasingly ambiguous. Was it because they were now a couple that he said these things? Like how she sometimes called Gu Nian "darling." Thinking about it that way, it all made sense—it was for the sake of the show.
Seeing the girl staring blankly at him, Gu Nian tapped her forehead: "What are you thinking about?"
Luo Shimiao chuckled: "I'm captivated by your unparalleled beauty."
Gu Qingnian chuckled, his dark eyes fixed on Luo Shimiao's eyes: "Miaomiao is really amazing, she can even see through a face mask."
Luo Shimiao choked, his lie ruthlessly exposed.
Live stream chat, bullet comments
— [Their Weibo posts sounded like an official announcement; viewers who hadn't watched the show thought they were actually together.]
—【They're such a perfect couple, the "Time Couple" is locked in!】
—[My God! Mr. Gu's eyes are so tender, it's almost like they're overflowing with love.]
— [Move the Civil Affairs Bureau here, get married on the spot, and have your wedding night right there!]
Luo Shimiao didn't stay long before going back to her room to sleep.
I adjusted the room temperature, pulled the blanket over my head, and fell fast asleep.
Three o'clock in the morning.
In the dark room, Luo Shimiao kicked off the blanket and murmured, "It's so hot."
With my eyes closed, I fumbled for the lamp, pressing the buttons a few times, but nothing happened.
She rolled out of bed, barefoot and half-closing her eyes, and went to knock on Gu Nian's door.
After knocking a few times, the door opened from the inside. The man saw that it was Luo Shimiao and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Luo Shimiao: "It's hot, I can't sleep, and it seems like the power is out."
Gu Nian pulled Luo Shimiao into the house, turned on his phone's flashlight, found a magazine, and fanned Luo Shimiao.
They lived on the top floor, which was hotter than the other floors. There was no air conditioning or fans, so it was like a sauna.
Luo Shimiao sat at the foot of the bed and dozed off, but he didn't stay awake for long before collapsing.
Gu Nian looked at her soaked back and wet bangs, went to the closet to get a T-shirt, and called softly, "Miao Miao, your clothes are all wet, get up and change your clothes before you go back to sleep."
"Sleepy, no." Luo Shimiao turned over and continued sleeping.
Gu Nian continued to coax, "Be good, get up. If you don't change, I won't fan you."
Luo Shimiao sat up, dragging her tired body.
With a smile in her eyes, Gu Nian placed the clothes in Luo Shimiao's hands.
Luo Shimiao half-opened her eyes: "You want to watch me change clothes?"
The man smirked, turned his back, and assumed she was still half asleep.
"alright."
Luo Shimiao lay back down on the bed, waiting for Gu Nian to fan her.
Gu Nian sat beside him, waving the magazine back and forth, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
The sound of even breathing drifted over slowly.
Half an hour later, the air conditioner beeped and restarted.
The phone rang.
Gu Nian turned on the desk lamp, his gaze falling on the girl's delicate face. His dark eyes narrowed. "You delivered yourself to my doorstep."
With a wicked smile, he gently picked up Luo Shimiao from the foot of the bed, placed her on one side of the bed, covered her with the blanket, and went to sleep on the other side himself.
The next day, in the morning.
Gu Nian frowned, his face seemed to be pressed down by something. He opened his dark eyes and a fair, delicate foot came into view.
Gu Nian: "............."
"Knock knock knock..."
Staff member: "Teacher Gu, are you awake? I've come to deliver the task card."
The persistent knocking woke up the girl at the foot of the bed.
Luo Shimiao opened her eyes, her little head peeking out from under the covers. Her sleepy eyes met the dark eyes at the head of the bed. She stopped herself from cursing in time, blinking her eyes incessantly. What was going on?
