My Virtual Girlfriend

Chen Yan said in confusion, "Can't you tell? I'm pursuing you!"

Yu Qiao Qiao let out an "Ah?" in surprise.

Is this considered chasing someone?

Chen Yan coughed once and said affectionately over the phone, "Qiao Qiao. Actually, ever since I first laid eyes on you, I fell in love at first sight."

"In my life, I've walked many roads, crossed many bridges, seen clouds of every shape, and drank wines of all kinds, but it's only you that I fell for at first sight."

Yu Qiao Qiao, on the other end of the phone, was somewhat at a loss, her face full of... embarrassment.

Chen Yan continued to speak passionately, "The moment I saw your eyes, I was deeply captivated, I love your blushing cheeks, your elegant and subtle charm, I like you... I like... I like... cough, wait, I forgot my lines, let me check."

Yu Qiao Qiao's head slowly sprouted a question mark.

Then, the sound of Chen Yan's emotionless rapid "reading" came from the phone,

"Ah, I've seen at the end of my daydreams it's you, from then on the world is bright. You are all my longing and fantasy."

"I want to watch the rain from inside a room, watch ants beside a rock garden, witness butterflies in love, see spiders weaving webs, watch water, watch boats, watch clouds, watch waterfalls, and... watch you."

"Okay, the confession is over. You can be sure now, I'm pursuing you, right?"

Chen Yan's declaration of love started off deeply moving, but after he forgot his lines, it turned into a fast reading, utterly insincere, as if he was just going through the motions, nearly making Yu Qiao Qiao laugh out loud.

But still, she said, "That's not possible, Chen Yan."

She spoke seriously, "Whether you're joking or serious, I still want to say, my situation is very special, I don't have time for a relationship, so please don't bother me. Thank you."

Having said that, she hung up Chen Yan's voice call.

After hanging up the call, Yu Qiao Qiao thought for a moment, then opened Chen Yan's WeChat and set it to Do Not Disturb mode.

She planned to wait a few days for Chen Yan to cool down before deleting him.

Deleting him immediately could easily provoke him to do something drastic.

Chen Yan's sudden confession certainly gave her an unusual feeling in her heart.

But, she truly did not want to be in a relationship right now.

Today's incident was destined to be just a small episode in her life that she would forget afterward.

And Chen Yan was destined to be just a passerby in her life...

She had her own life.

And in that life, there was no Chen Yan.

...

At the same time, Chen Yan, who was at home, had anticipated all of this.

He chuckled as he noted it down in his notebook, then opened a WeChat message and sent a text...

In playing games, you must always save your progress. And in playing the game of reality, you must also have a backup plan.

The experiment was a success, I can increase the effort tomorrow...

...

An uneventful night.

The next morning, after washing up and getting ready, Yu Qiao Qiao laughed and chatted as she went downstairs with several of her roommates.

But as soon as she stepped out of the dormitory building, she was frozen in place.

Because Chen Yan, dressed to the nines, was standing at the bottom of the dormitory building holding a bunch of 99 bright red roses.

A bunch of 99 roses was about half the size of a person, held in the arms bright and red, very eye-catching. But it did not make Yu Qiao Qiao happy at all.

She looked at Chen Yan with some surprise and asked, "How... how did you know I live in this dorm?"

Before Chen Yan could answer, the roommate who had accompanied her to meet Chen Yan the day before waved her phone nonchalantly and said, "I told him, he is your friend, right?"

Yu Qiao Qiao face-palmed, feeling helpless.

What is all this mess?

How did things get more and more chaotic...

And what made Yu Qiao Qiao even more helpless was that Chen Yan stepped forward and stuffed the bouquet, almost bigger than Yu Qiao Qiao herself, into her arms, and then said,

"Qiao Qiao, I know you don't like me."

"But it doesn't matter. Just take this."

Yu Qiao Qiao's head slowly floated up more question marks: ?

Chen Yan then pulled out two movie tickets from his pocket, "How about watching a movie together tonight?"

Yu Qiao Qiao opened her mouth, ready to refuse.

But Chen Yan preempted her, saying, "I know you definitely don't want to watch it with me. No worries. Then these tickets are for you, you can watch with your roommates. I bought six, so you can bring five others."

As he spoke, Chen Yan pulled out four more movie tickets and handed them all to Yu Qiao Qiao.

Yu Qiao Qiao's question marks grew thicker: ? ? ?

Chen Yan said, "After watching the movie, would you like to have a buffet together?"

He then slapped his forehead, "Look at that, I totally forgot you're not watching the movie with me."

"So this is what we'll do. I'll give you the buffet coupons as well, you go eat with your roommates."

After saying that, Chen Yan stuffed six buffet coupons into Yu Qiao Qiao's hands.

Yu Qiao Qiao was completely overwhelmed by question marks: ? ? ? ?

After handing everything over, Chen Yan said, "Okay. I've given you everything. Anyway, you've accepted it. If you don't want it, just throw it away. But you can't return it. I'm going now. Bye."

With that, Chen Yan turned around and left without any hesitation or looking back.

Yu Qiao Qiao: ?

Roommates: ? ? ?

The crowd of onlookers: ? ? ? ?

Chen Yan, holding 99 fresh flowers, standing at the bottom of the girls' dorm building early in the morning, was news enough to draw quite a crowd.

Everyone thought he was there to confess or pursue a girl.

Who would have guessed, upon spotting his object of affection, he gave her the stuff, said a few words like "You probably don't want to be with me, so be with your roommates," and then just left.

If you know she's not going to watch a movie with you or eat with you, why book tickets at all!

And not just one or two, but six of each!

And what's with "just throw it away if you don't want it, but don't return it"?

Are you supposed to be deducted if you return them or what?!

Are you here to court someone or to push sales?

No wait... salespeople take money! So are you some wealth-squandering sprite with a personal wealth-squandering KPI?!

And besides... don't you talk to the person you're pursuing?

The girl you are chasing never said a word from beginning to end, hey!

All the people who witnessed the entire process were left feeling utterly bewildered...

But Yu Qiao Qiao's straightforward roommate nudged her with her shoulder, triumphantly saying, "What did I tell you? He seems to just want to give you something and has no interest in you."

Speaking, she pouted, "Not a trace of affection in his eyes. He was just going through the motions."

"Huh? What if he's someone your parents sent to test you? Are you some rich young miss?" With that, the roommate began to survey Yu Qiao Qiao with a speculative look.

Yu Qiao Qiao: ...

Looking at Chen Yan's retreating figure, Yu Qiao Qiao's heart was in disarray...

Meanwhile, Chen Yan, who was on his way home, happily looked at the wealth points on his phone: 1582, showing a satisfied smile.
