After Wearing the Same Clothes as My High-School Classmate on the Subway

1. After being tricked into going on a blind date, Shu Yao bumped into her high school classmate Chen Ye, whom she hasn’t seen in seven years, on the subway. Once, her best friend and his buddy were sweetly in love, and the two of them could only sit awkwardly and look at each other in silence. And now, something even more embarrassing happened— They are wearing the same outfit. Fortunately, Chen Ye didn’t seem to remember her. Shu Yao secretly felt happy and was about to grab her bag and run away when someone suddenly passed by. That person hesitated, stopped, looked them up and down, and suddenly exclaimed with wide eyes: “You two are still together?! Wearing couple outfit is quite romantic! I believe in love again!” Shu Yao: “…?” 2. Faced with various blind dates, between asking for help and pleading for mercy, Shu Yao chose to propose. “I have no expectations for marriage. Since the photo of us wearing matching clothes has turned into a couple’s photo, and you also need this, how about we cooperate?” Chen Ye leaned against the table leisurely and asked her: “What do you like about me?” Shu Yao made up something, but remained calm: “Your occasionally unpredictable state of mind is quite charming.” “……” Chen Ye agreed. The reason was he appreciated those who can insult others elegantly. 3. After marriage, the two respected each other like guests. So Shu Yao always thought he began liking her after they were married. Until a long time later, at a gathering, during a game of truth or dare, Chen Ye’s friend was asked about the most speechless moment in his life. Without hesitation, he pointed at Chen Ye: “About a year ago, in the middle of the night, he sent me 10 voice messages bragging that he was getting married.” Other friends gasped and quickly pulled out their phones to ask: “How many people did you send this to?” “Not many.” Chen Ye leaned back lazily, somewhat regretfully adding, “Too bad my dog doesn’t have a phone.” Shu Yao: “……” How would a dog use a phone? Shu Yao glanced at the man beside her. Oh no, it seems possible.
