As expected of romance readers, they can smoothly transition any topic to shipping.

Soon, Nathan was diagnosed with gastritis and put on an IV.
I opened the thermos of lotus root and pork rib soup.
Before I could speak, the comments flooded in:

Chapter 1
“Feed him! Feed him! Feed him!”
“If you don’t feed him, I’ll push your heads together and make you kiss!”
“His eyes are full of hope, his heart is pounding, his face is pale and about to break girl, can you bear not to feed him?!”
With “feed” everywhere in my vision, I was brainwashed and blurted out: “Shall I feed you
Immediately wishing I could bite my tongue off: “I mean, if it’s inconvenient for you,
should I feed you the soup?”
Comments:
“Nathan, say yes! Heaven–sent opportunity!”
“I’m diving into Nathan’s brain to accept

him!”
Nathan looked at me and said: “Wouldn’t that be too much trouble?”
But without waiting for my answer, he added: “Thank you.”

Since I offered, I couldn’t back out now.
That would be even more awkward.
With slight awkwardness and nervousness, I began feeding Nathan the soup.
The comments, expert at shipping, certainly didn’t let this

pass:
“I approve this marriage! Who agrees, who objects? Those who object will be executed within three minutes!”
“The marriage registration office is here, let’s get married directly!”
“I’ll gift $10,000, charge it to the main guy’s account!”
“I’ll gift $100,000, charge it to the main guy’s account!”
Finally, all the comments were about wedding gifts charged
Thomas’s account.
These readers are so adorable.
I couldn’t help but smile.
Then my phone suddenly started vibrating.
At first, I tried to ignore it, but the vibrations became

Then came messages from mutual friends of Thomas and me.

[Mia Stone, are you serious?]
[You and Thomas have years of history, can you really let go so easily?]

[He was just playing around with Jessica in high school, it wasn’t serious. We’ve all seen how Thomas treats you, and you know it too. Are you really going to treat him like this because of an ex–girlfriend who’s completely out of the picture?]
Seeing these messages made me nauseous.
When Thomas and I went out together, they were the ones cheering us on.
When Thomas was flirting with Jessica in high school, they were also cheering.
They kept me in the dark.
Now that I’ve rejected Thomas, they’re the ones trying to persuade me.
If they love creating drama so much, why don’t they go be extras in Hollywood?

The comments cheered in approval.
Then I clicked on the link my mom sent.
The tabloid headline was typically sensational.

The photo that caught my eye showed me supporting Nathan with concern.
In the image, only my profile was visible, while Nathan’s pained expression was unmistakable.
The comments immediately got excited:
“This deserves an award!”
“Great shot! The god–tier guy’s restrained expression is so handsome. I’m imagining a romance novel scene where the male lead
wants to get intimate with the female lead but has to hold back, and then in the bathroom…”
“Not gonna lie, Nathan’s groan last night was genuinely captivating, better than some women’s romance audiobooks”
“Here, take the pen and write it yourself!”
These commenters know perfectly well Nathan’s pained expression was from stomach pain!
What nonsense are they spouting?
Fighting my burning face, I sent a few messages.
After receiving replies, I couldn’t help but frown.
“Mia?”
I looked up.
Nathan hesitantly asked: “May I call you that?”
I said: “Of course, that’s what my family and friends call me.”

He smiled, that shallow dimple on his left cheek appearing: “So, we’re friends now?”

Nathan rushed over to pat my back, which dislodged his IV needle.
He had to get another shot.
I felt terribly sorry.
He didn’t mind at all.
Then the comments said:
“Girl, don’t feel bad, he’ll stick you later! Very deeply! The kind you won’t be able to handle!”
I didn’t want to understand immediately, but I couldn’t help it–my face turned bright red in
