"Let's give it a try," I said to Zhou Zhanfeng.
"Okay!" Zhou Zhanfeng immediately called me.
After that, Zhou Zhanfeng often came to see me, and our relationship gradually warmed up.
When we watched movies, he always prepared the tickets in advance.
While filming Short Video, he would carefully remind me:
"Xiaorou, move away from the light; otherwise, your face will look washed out."
I noticed that his demeanor in front of me was completely different from how he acted on camera.
In real life, he was gentle and attentive, with only me in his eyes.
Sometimes he would take me to experience exchange meetings within their Social Shake circle.
To put it simply, it was where streamers shared experiences and relatives chatted casually.
I found that although they made quite a bit of money through Live Stream, their thoughts remained simple, and their conversations revolved around material things.
I felt that this lifestyle was very distant from my future.
Although Zhou Zhanfeng had given me a lot, I knew I didn't want this kind of life.
I knew he liked me, but I wasn't sure if I truly fit into this lifestyle.
I didn't want to stay here in the future; it would be a difficult choice for Zhou Zhanfeng and equally challenging for me.
I didn't want to hurt him, but I also didn't want to deceive myself.
I decided to stop putting pressure on myself and just enjoy my time with him, after all, we were each other's first love.
Being able to meet was already a stroke of luck.
I returned to school, and life returned to calmness.
Sometimes I would think of Zhou Zhanfeng, casually opening his Live Stream to watch him silently.
We still chatted on WeChat and played games together, but the frequency decreased over time.
I worried that our feelings would slowly fade away until they disappeared completely.
One day after class, Zhou Zhanfeng suddenly sent me a message on WeChat saying:
"Xiaorou, we can't continue like this."
I felt a bit anxious. I called him, but no one answered, and he didn't reply to my messages either. Suddenly, I noticed that the confession video he had posted on Kuaishou was gone. When I had seen that video before, I jokingly told him that it made him lose followers. He had said that even if he lost all his fans, he would still be willing to be with me. But now, that video was gone. My heart ached so much that I could hardly breathe. I tried to force a smile, but it probably looked worse than crying. I couldn't control myself and cried all afternoon, skipping class. I locked myself in my dorm until Baoqiu came to find me.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
I shook my head, indicating that I was fine.
"Then come downstairs with me; Zhanfeng is down there." After saying this, she turned and walked out.
I was taken aback and quickly followed her.
"You... why are you here?" I looked at Chen Zhanfeng standing in front of me, surprised and delighted.
"I thought this wasn't right for us, so I came," he said, slightly frowning as he handed me a key.
"This is the key to my place. I waited downstairs for a long time before someone showed up."
"You came to Shanghai?"
I widened my eyes in disbelief, unable to accept that this was real. I thought we were done for good.
"You..."
Before I could finish my sentence, he interrupted me.
"I deleted that video; you said you didn't like being public about things, so I set it to private."
"Then why didn't you answer the phone?" I questioned him.
"I'm on the plane."
So that's how it is; I thought he was going to break up with me.
"Are you stupid?"
I angrily punched him.
"It's your fault for suddenly sending that message; I thought..."
"Thought what?"
"I thought you were going to break up with me!"
"Fool!"
I laughed and playfully hit him, feeling warm inside.
He traveled a long way to be by my side; what more could I want?
I admit I've fallen for him,
even though I can't accept that I would spend my life with a Social Shake big shot,
but I can't deny the allure of his wealth.
"I originally planned to buy an apartment in Shanghai for the school district,
but my fans told me that people from other places and single young people can't buy property in Shanghai unless we get married."
Hearing Zhou Zhanfeng's words made my face flush.
"Who wants to marry you?"
I didn't admit that I had feelings for him.
I didn't move out to live with him; I still stayed in the dormitory.
He occasionally came to school to see me, and we went out together on weekends.
Now he often gets recognized, and everyone around me knows I've got a Social Shake boyfriend.
"You’re the 'Mountain Stronghold Lady'!"
Wei Baoqiu always jokes about me, and I feel so annoyed that I don't want to talk to her.
