They don't actually think I like them, do they?

Whether it becomes popular or not depends on fate.

......

Xuanmo Western Restaurant.

Wang Xiaomei was very excited today because it was the day she met her online boyfriend in person.

Wang Xiaomei had been looking forward to this meeting in person for a very long time.

In fact, this was her first time dating, and as for why it was an online relationship, it's a bit embarrassing to talk about.

Wang Xiaomei's appearance is not outstanding; she is slightly overweight—weighing 200 pounds.

Therefore, Wang Xiaomei has never had much luck with men in real life. However, she still longs for a true love that doesn't judge by appearance but by inner qualities.

So, Wang Xiaomei met Xiao Zhang online, and she was quickly attracted to his humor, wit, and understanding nature. The two soon developed a romantic relationship.

During their online romance, Xiao Wang repeatedly asked Xiao Mei for photos, but Xiao Mei refused each time.

It wasn't that Wang Xiaomei was afraid her boyfriend would leave her if he saw her like that; she firmly believed that Xiao Zhang wasn't that kind of person.

Whether it's Zhang's usual speech, the content of his WeChat Moments, or the apps he frequently uses: Waterdrop Crowdfunding, Love Donation, Keep, and Tieba.

It's clear from all this that Xiao Zhang is a kind-hearted person with sound values ​​who seeks truth, goodness, and beauty.

Wang Xiaomei felt that exchanging photos before the two people knew each other well enough could easily corrupt this genuine love that was based solely on their hearts.

In fact, Wang Xiaomei felt that her appearance wasn't that bad.

Once, she posted her photos on Bilibili, and the video went viral. Many girls in the comments section praised her for being cute, saying she was chubby and they wanted to pinch her cheeks.

For the small number of people who criticized her, some women with sound values ​​stood up for her and fought back:

"Sister, don't ignore those guys in the comments section, they're just jealous! The current trend of pale, thin, and childlike women is a distorted aesthetic. In the Tang Dynasty, plumpness was considered beautiful, and many people still like chubby girls today. It's just a difference in aesthetics. You can't attack someone just because your aesthetic is different! I think you perfectly fit my aesthetic, you're incredibly beautiful!"

Wang Xiaomei was deeply moved by the comments, which strengthened her resolve not to lose weight and to stay true to herself.

However, below that comment, someone else said:

"Then I wish you become as beautiful as her!"

One of the commenters immediately said:

Is personal attacking someone interesting?

Wang Xiaomei felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Now, Wang Xiaomei is seated at the reserved table, waiting for her boyfriend, Xiao Zhang.

Wang Xiaomei made ample preparations for her first meeting with her boyfriend today. She even put on makeup, which was unusual for her, and wore her favorite dress.

The dress originally didn't come in Xiaomei's size, but the shopkeeper thoughtfully customized a larger size for her and then symbolically charged double the price.

There are still more good people than bad in this world!

Thinking about these things made Wang Xiaomei feel very good.

Finally, a man walked into the restaurant and sat down at the table.

"Hello, sister, did you sit in the wrong seat?" The man greeted Wang Xiaomei cautiously.

"Ugh, you always call me 'baby' on WeChat~" Wang Xiaomei said shyly, rubbing her hooves together gently.

The man's expression froze instantly.

Anyone who didn't know better would think time had stopped.

"Ah...hahaha, Xiao Mei! I didn't even recognize her if I hadn't heard her voice!" Xiao Zhang wiped his sweat and sat down.

The two then ordered food. While waiting for their meal, Wang Xiaomei chatted with Xiao Zhang, but her boyfriend seemed distracted, offering only perfunctory replies and nodding and smiling.

Suddenly, Xiao Zhang stood up.

"Baby, I'm going to the bathroom."

"Good~"

Wang Xiaomei answered obediently.

After Xiao Zhang left, Wang Xiaomei's phone suddenly received a message.

My best friend sent it to me.

"Xiaomei, didn't you go to meet someone in real life today?"

"correct."

"Look at this person... isn't it you?"

After my best friend finished speaking, she sent me a link.

Wang Xiaomei was very puzzled and clicked on the link.

This is a post on Baidu Tieba titled "Brothers, I met my online girlfriend in person today, and I'm live-streaming the whole thing!"

The poster started by sharing chat logs with his girlfriend and continued live-streaming his meal at the restaurant.

Although the chat logs were blurred, Wang Xiaomei could still tell at a glance that they were chat logs between her and her boyfriend.

At the beginning of the post, the original poster spent a lot of time talking about how happy they were today and how they were determined to become Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi, tonight.

He got even more excited after hearing that his girlfriend was slightly chubby, saying that it must be amazing to see such a perfect woman like her.

Then, as the post continued downwards...

"You motherfucker! Is this an Earth creature?!"

A photo was released, which clearly showed Wang Xiaomei, but only the area below her neck was shown, not her face.

The comment section below exploded.

"Hahahaha, great job!"

"What genuine fat pig?"

"Shattering Star Hammer.JPG"

"Holy crap, tell your girlfriend to go play in the NBA, so she can guard LeBron James one-on-one next season!"

"Killing me!"

"A fairy weighing 200 pounds~"

"No, why aren't you running away?"

The original poster replied: "Oh my god, I wanted to run away too! But, after all, the little girl didn't do anything wrong, it's too innocent for her to just run away like that!"

"Aren't you afraid she'll crush you to death?"

"There's definitely no way she'll leak anything. We're already here, let's finish this meal with her..."

Wang Xiaomei could no longer see what was below, because tears had already filled her eyes.

It turns out that all those claims about not judging by appearances and about soulmates are false.

Choosing online dating from the very beginning, and using the virtual world of the internet to fill the emptiness in one's heart, was a huge mistake.

She silently stood up and left the restaurant.

Then, Wang Xiaomei went to the overpass alone.

May I be reborn into a better family in my next life!

015. Rebirth

The moonlight cast its silvery glow, falling upon every passerby.

However, Wang Xiaomei received a little more of the afterglow.

She stood on the overpass, below her a crowd of onlookers.

"Sister, calm down!" an uncle shouted.

"If you're having trouble thinking about something, come down first and we'll talk about it!"

"Think of your parents, and don't do anything!"

The onlookers shouted, and some people had already taken out their phones to dial 119.

On this bustling street, the crowd of onlookers grew larger and larger, with many people who loved watching the excitement taking out their phones to record videos.

Many people were witnessing the suicide for the first time and began to whisper among themselves.

"With that weight, it'd be a depth charge if it jumped into the river!"

"Good grief, watch the line!"

As time went on, Wang Xiaomei remained motionless. A small group of onlookers who had been recording with their phones were getting tired of holding them up, and they began to urge her loudly.

"Go ahead and jump! Don't waste your time!"

"Yeah, if you're not going to jump, don't waste everyone's time!"

"Anyway, we're just waiting for the firefighters to rescue her!"

"You overly self-conscious guy, stop causing trouble for society and everyone else!"

Wang Xiaomei cried again, crying very loudly.

She wasn't crying because of the shouts, but because she was reminded of her boyfriend again.

His wishful thinking must have caused her a lot of trouble.

Farewell—

Wang Xiaomei closed her eyes, opened her arms, and jumped down.

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, that really jumped!"

"Brilliant!!"

“Call an ambulance!!”

As her body plunged into the water, the sounds around Wang Xiaomei gradually faded, and finally everything vanished into nothingness.

......

I don’t know how long it took.

When she woke up again, Wang Xiaomei was lying in a hospital bed with a respirator covering her mouth.

"He's not dead..."

In the huge room, Wang Xiaomei murmured to herself.

She opened the phone on the bedside table, which belonged to someone else, and looked at the date.

It turns out that three days have already passed.

As she gradually regained consciousness, Wang Xiaomei recalled her past experiences once again.

Authentic big fat pig!

Damn it, it's a Tiger tank!

Holy crap, why aren't you running away?!

......

Tears quickly flowed again.

She couldn't understand why she was being treated this way when she had never hurt anyone.

All she wanted was genuine love.

But now she has finally come to her senses.

That kind of thing doesn't exist!

Thinking of this, her hand touched the ventilator again.

As expected, let's reopen it!

Just as Wang Xiaomei was about to remove her oxygen mask, a "ding-dong" sound rang out.

The phone rang suddenly.

Wang Xiaomei subconsciously opened her phone, only to find it was a background notification from a video app.
