Shock! I became the protagonist of a female-oriented novel.

Although it was 11 o'clock, the activity level on a certain forum remained high, and since Gu Qiushui had been posting there for quite some time, someone quickly replied to her.

- Tyrant: Hmm? Confused. Before I say anything more, I'd like to ask one more question: OP, are you really pursuing a 20-year-old girl?

Gu Qiushui replied with an "Mm," and asked, "What's wrong?"

-The Tyrant: Nothing much, I just find it amazing, hahaha.

Chen Fen had been browsing Tianya Forum for a long time and had seen many people come here to ask about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships and various dating stories. However, he rarely saw anyone like this anonymous poster who seriously asked how to maintain a relationship with a long-distance girlfriend.

After all, nobody on that forum is discussing this!

So from the beginning, Chen Fen thought that this anonymous poster was just trying to post something irrelevant.

But later, as he looked around, he realized! Hmm, the anonymous poster seems to be someone with practical experience.

Chapter 85 Everyone is naive when it comes to the person they like.

Because this poster comes back every day to report on the progress, hahaha, he has never seen such a cute poster.

During the time Chen was daydreaming, more people left comments on the post.

A group of experts were passing on their "old experience" to the original poster, and Chen Fen, bored, started browsing posts online.

This post was created nine days ago.

The post's title was quite conventional: I broke up with my girlfriend, whom I had confessed to less than a month ago, and I miss her terribly.

The initial content was also quite ordinary.

Basically, he said that he is 30 years old this year, and he found a cute 20-year-old girlfriend. He confessed his feelings not long ago, and they have a deep relationship and are in the honeymoon phase.

Then, due to work reasons, the two young lovers went on separate business trips and broke up.

As soon as this post was published, some netizens commented that it was nothing to worry about, that it was simple, ordinary, and that the situation was normal.

However, the original poster quickly added: "My job is so special that we'll probably be apart more often than not. This separation might just be a small appetizer. There will be many more times when we're apart in the future. So I'm asking the netizens on Tianya if anyone has a long-distance relationship with their girlfriend and has managed to keep the romance going."

Then everyone thought the poster was very innocent.

The innocent poster was soon targeted by a group of filthy bastards.

Many active accounts left comments:

Maintaining a long-term level of engagement with a girl really requires effort.

If you're temporarily in a different place for work, it's best to stay in touch. Distance can actually make the heart grow fonder.

And you have to stay romantic, bro. Remember to say sweet things to your girlfriend.

Yes, yes, sweet talk.

For example, "goodnight" is actually "I love you, I love you".

I need your kiss to get up, to revive, and to work.

A day apart feels like three autumns.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was a joke, but the clueless poster actually went and did it. Afterward, he even came back to tell everyone that he had succeeded and that his girlfriend blushed when she heard this. His girlfriend looked very shy.

Everyone pretended to believe that the guy had a girlfriend, and then continued to come up with ridiculous ideas.

One blunder after another has been made. Correspondingly, the netizens don't believe it's true, but judging from the poster's comments, they seem to be sincere.

Two days later.

The original poster suddenly appeared, saying that there were many other outstanding people at his girlfriend's workplace.

Furthermore, it seems she's been in close contact with other people due to work, and the original poster (OP) expressed his displeasure at witnessing this. Therefore, he came to Tianya seeking some comfort.

Many netizens offered words of comfort, but then something unexpected happened: they asked if the original poster's income, appearance, and job were inferior to that "outstanding person at work."

After a day of silence, the original poster gave a vague self-assessment.

The entire forum was shocked, and of course, Chen Fen was also shocked. The shocked netizens received a large amount of forum currency as a reward.

It was at this point that Chen Fen began to have doubts. The original poster's words didn't seem to be false. He must be a high-income earner and someone whose appearance was far above average... Of course, many people on the forum were attacking the original poster for having aesthetic problems, saying that he must be ugly.

However, in Chen Fen's view, with income at this level, whether one is good-looking or not is irrelevant and unimportant.

He's at least a high-income earner, a white-collar worker, owning sports cars and villas, but chasing after a 20-year-old girl... it's like he's never been in a relationship before.

Tsk.

Judging from his speech and manner of speaking, he seems like a clean and efficient person.

Thinking back to that couple at the company before, Chen Fen clicked his tongue twice. True love these days is truly amazing, it makes people feel like they're in heaven.

Soon, Chen Fen scrolled to the end of the post and saw that a netizen had indeed replied to the anonymous poster.

The anonymous poster said that work was almost finished and his girlfriend's birthday was coming up soon.

Isn't the meaning quite clear from those words? Work's over, it's his girlfriend's birthday, so he's definitely going to see her!

Do you know what girls like most? It's not an expensive gift, it's when she misses you and you reply with "open the door."

- Don't be a coward, go for it! I've been watching you write posts for so long, I've been wanting you to quit your job and just go for it.

There were many more varied and interesting answers, but Chen Fen noticed that the expert only awarded forum coins to the first and most charming answer.

He responded with an "Eh," indicating that the big shot liked this sweet and romantic style, and added, "If you like her, go for it. To be honest, after reading your posts for so long, I have to say that everyone's suggestions are outdated. The fact that a 20-year-old girl is still willing to blush and be shy with you is definitely true love."

Go, go, go! Don't worry about what's in between, just go.

Just as she was about to turn off her phone, Gu Qiushui saw the last reply that popped up.

Her gaze swept over the screen, and she, holding her phone, suddenly laughed.

She clicked on Chen Fen's profile picture, paused briefly, and then used up all the remaining forum coins in her account to tip him. After that, she logged out of Tianya, deleted the shortcut URL, and lay down on her bed.

Very strange.

It's really strange.

Gu Qiushui considers herself a person with very clear goals.

Ambitious, decisive, and confident.

But in this relationship...

Chapter 86 Love, both pure and complex

Gu Qiushui knew that she had hesitated many times.

From confirming my feelings for someone and accepting that I like them, to taking action, there were countless moments of hesitation.

But in the end, she didn't hesitate and took action.

The subordinates were very successful.

During her time with Yu Ci, she was happy and relaxed, but after they separated and she moved on from that sweet relationship, she realized many things that were separate from that sweetness.

Yu Ci is 20 years old this year.

Only 20 years old.

When you turn 20, it's a time of youthful vigor and boundless possibilities.

She's an actress, an... an ambitious actress.

That means this relationship cannot be made public.

A relationship that cannot be made public, a girl who is only 20 years old, different social circles, and jobs that may lead to long-term separation—Gu Qiushui begins to feel panicked.

It's only been ten days apart, but it really feels like three autumns have passed.

If there is no future, then what should we do in the days to come?

Also, when feelings run deep and it's really time to go public, should one go public or not?

This is a question without an answer.

Having thought of this, Gu Qiushui avoided the question.

In my most panicked moment, I turned to Tianya Forum, which I hadn't used for many years. It wasn't really to seek comfort or solutions, I just wanted to...

It was told to everyone.

I loved her more than once.

Yes, I love her more than once.

It's 1 o'clock.

After calming down, Gu Qiushui opened her phone's photo album and flipped through dozens of pages from the first picture onwards, gradually calming herself down.

Thousands of miles away, Yu Ci, who had been tossing and turning in bed for a long time, suddenly sat up, took out her phone, and started flipping through her photo album. After flipping through dozens of pages, she lay back down on the bed.

I should just go to sleep. Once this episode is finished filming, I can take a vacation.

-

The next day.

Yu Ci woke up feeling slightly sleepy and sat on the bed for a while before getting up to brush his teeth and wash his face.

After finishing everything, it was already 10 a.m. Fortunately, the show was filmed after lunch, so getting up late wouldn't have any impact.

After dawdling over breakfast downstairs at the hotel, Yu Ci noticed that it had suddenly started raining outside.

Autumn rain is much cooler than summer rain. As soon as it rains, a biting chill comes over you. After standing by the window for a while, Yu Ci went into his room to change his clothes.

After putting on a thick coat, Yu Ci, who had nothing to do, immediately opened the weather forecast and started looking at the weather in the capital. After seeing that it was raining there as well, she immediately sent a WeChat message to Gu Qiushui.

Yu Ci: It's raining, wear more clothes and keep warm.

It seems they're filming over there; I haven't been back for a long time.

Yu Ci waited for a while, but when he didn't receive a reply, he turned off his phone, feeling a little disappointed.

Filming for the program began at 2 PM.

As a variety food program, "Food is Coming" is quite different from other food programs.

Here, people not only see delicious food, but also beautiful women, and while they're at it, they also hear stories about the food.
