Ye Bing didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "My dad is seriously toxic. He's setting up yet another arranged date for me over the New Year. I'm really going to become an introvert! I'm getting depressed here!
"My dad thinks I have androphobia," she continued. "He believes I should start mingling with boys earlier. But the sons of his friends whom he introduces me to are the very ones likely to give me androphobia, for real!
"Those sons of my dad's friends are the new age standard Scum Men, spouting nothing but empty, grandiose promises, painting you a picture as vast as the sky! Talk of custom Rolls-Royce Cullinan, Pagani Son of the Wind—all that's missing is a private plane. They also always want to take me to a private movie theater on the first day; can you believe it?
"So, I'm hoping you can lend me your boyfriend for a bit. Let Luo the Immortal pretend to be my boyfriend. As long as I have a boyfriend, my dad won't mess around anymore!"
Ye Bing spoke slowly.
