1 A month ago, I started dating a guy online. He said he wanted to send me a birthday gift. Right after my noon class let out, I got a call from a delivery driver. He insisted I sign for it in person. When I saw what it was, my roommates and I just stared at each other. Even after carrying the package back to our dorm, we were still in shock. "Wait, he actually sent it?" Snapping out of it, my roommates immediately got suspicious. "It's gotta be fake, right? Who just sends a bag worth thousands like it's nothing?" "Is he trying to bait you with a fake bag? Like one of those scams where they lure you overseas?" Real or fake? There's only one way to find out. My roommates and I started scouring the internet for authentication guides and videos. After an hour of intense research, we finally confirmed it. This creamy white lambskin flap bag. It's real. It's the latest Chanel summer collection. Current official price: $8,700. !!! Oh my god. I snagged a real-life rich heir. 2 I met Gavin playing a mobile MOBA game. I was playing as a mage, a squishy little character. He was the assassin on the enemy team. Within the first five minutes, he killed me three times. But I thrive on adversity. Remembering the shiny "VIP 10" badge on his loading screen—meaning he'd spent a fortune on the game—I decided to shoot my shot. Me: "Big brother keeps targeting me, do you have a crush on me?" Gavin: "With skills like yours, you really have no self-awareness, do you?" Me: "Wow, big brother is so good! A Pentakill!" Gavin: "You don't need to tell me." Me: "Big brother, I just passed my English exam today, and right now I really want to say something to you." Gavin: "?" Me: "Be my CP (Couple Partner)~" Gavin: "...What kind of delusional toad are you?" Under my barrage of flattery, the assassin only hunted me harder. I ended the game with a score of 0-17-2. My teammates didn't say a word. They just reported me. I was fuming. I clicked on the assassin's profile. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... Seven national ranking badges. Five state ranking badges. I was blinded by the brilliance. VIP 10, all skins unlocked, cool profile pic, zero intimate relationships listed, insane win rate. Could I let a carry like this get away? Me: "Hi big brother, wanna roleplay? Pretend to be my boyfriend and carry me to the top rank~" I sent a friend request immediately. Rejected, as expected. I invited him to a lobby. Rejected. Rejected. Rejected again. Finally, after a dozen tries, he must have slipped and clicked accept. I didn't waste a second. I started the game instantly. "Big brother, can I play as the support fairy?" I used my most sugary, cutesy voice. Gavin: "Whatever." "Yay, thank you big brother!" Gavin: "Don't mention it. Just my karma catching up to me." "........" That game, Gavin played the dashing swordsman. With his limited-edition skin, my default-skin fairy looked pathetic next to him. From the start, I shamelessly stuck to him. My mouth was sweeter than honey; I even made myself blush with the compliments. Gavin, who usually never used voice chat, couldn't take it anymore. "Shut up. You're distracting my hands." His voice was deep and husky. It made my heart flutter. So I complimented him even harder. "Big brother, your voice is so nice..." "Wow, big brother's predictions are spot on! So cool!" "Big brother... Big brother..." The game ended amidst a chorus of "big brothers." It was the first time I truly enjoyed playing support. 3 "A girl chasing a guy is only separated by a layer of yarn," as the saying goes. After the game, I successfully added Gavin as a friend. Every night, my mission was to camp online and wait for him. After a few nights, I got his number. But Gavin was ice cold. My messages often went unanswered. But I didn't care. It only took a few taps of my finger. I got to use his shared skins and get carried by his skills. Gaining a few extra stars every night. Why not? I even looked up flirting techniques online. My pickup lines never repeated. Maybe he was moved by my sincerity. One time, I used my sickeningly sweet voice in-game again: "Big brother, we've known each other for 392 hours, 45 minutes, and 17 seconds. Has your heart not fluttered for your little sweetie yet?" "You know, in this world, besides the scammers in Southeast Asia, no one else would pour their heart out to you like this." "So, would you be willing to..." "What's the benefit of being your CP?" Gavin cut me off over voice chat. His voice was calm and collected, but I saw a glimmer of hope. "If big brother becomes my CP, I'll only play with you from now on, and I'll only protect you~" "You? Protect me?" Gavin chuckled, full of mockery for my gaming skills. It was rare to hear him laugh. I knew I had a chance, so I doubled down: "Yeah! Big brother is my precious little baby. If anyone touches you, I'll chase them down and bite them!" Gavin laughed again. Low and deep, incredibly seductive. "Fine. Remember what you said." See. What did I tell you? No one can resist sweet talk. If they do? You just aren't being sweet enough. 4 And just like that, Gavin and I were "dating." Compared to before, he was noticeably gentler. Before, if I accidentally stole his blue buff, he'd be passive-aggressive the whole game. Now... "Oops, sorry big brother, I accidentally took your blue." "I saw. Do you want a cookie?" "Ah, big brother, I didn't mean to steal your Pentakill, please don't be mad, okay?" "I'm not mad. At you?" "........" Now he could only be passive-aggressive for half the game. Because for the second half, I'd get mad. Gavin probably noticed. Neither of us spoke for the rest of the match. When the game ended, I sulked and said I was done playing. Gavin was silent for a moment. Then suddenly said, "Sorry." I instinctively retorted: "If sorry was useful, why would Chanel make so many bags?" I realized what I said as soon as the words left my mouth. Embarrassed, I quickly exited the lobby. A few minutes later. Gavin sent me pictures of several Chanel bags. Gavin: "Which one do you want?" I laughed. Trying to buy me off with a bag? Does he think I'm that shallow? Me: "How did big brother know my birthday is coming up? This is too expensive, isn't it?" Me: "I want the creamy white one! Big brother is the best, thank you big brother, love you forever~ (heart)" Heh. Turns out, I am exactly that shallow. 5 Gavin didn't mention the bag for the next two days. He just invited me to play games as usual. I realized later that he was probably just joking that day. Those bags in the pictures cost as much as my family makes in a year. I didn't want to call him out and embarrass him. After all, he was a great carry in-game. But I never expected him to actually send the bag! 6 Me: "Big brother, does it look good?" I put on a new dress I bought. Slung the bag over my shoulder. Asked my roommates to take dozens of photos. Selected the best one. Spent half an hour editing it before sending. I didn't show my face in the photo, leaving everything to Gavin's imagination. After a while. Gavin: "Photoshopped?" I was about to deny it. Gavin: "The bed frame is bent like a snake." Me: "........" Okay, fine. First time using Photoshop, lack of experience. Gavin didn't seem to care much and just told me to hop online. I had no classes that afternoon. I logged on, full of fighting spirit. This time, I was really treating Gavin like the God of Wealth. "Big brother is so thoughtful, did you give bags to your ex-girlfriends too?" "No." "Then I'm so luc..." "She wasn't materialistic." "And she wasn't as thick-skinned as you, asking for things outright." "........" It's fine, it's fine. $8,700. $8,700. I spent a minute calming myself down. I feigned anger: "Since big brother thinks of me that way, I'll return the bag to you." A normal guy wouldn't ask for a gift back. "Okay." But... Gavin isn't a normal person!! "Kidding. Keep it." My puffed-up cheeks deflated instantly. I grinned through gritted teeth: "Big brother, I love you so much~" "Mm. I love myself too." 7 I felt like I suddenly figured out Gavin's personality. On the surface, he scoffed at my flattery. But deep down, he was grinning ear to ear. It had only been a month. And he'd already gifted me 43 skins. Turning my account, which originally only had a $1 starter pack, into a whale account. At lunch in the cafeteria, I wanted to nurture feelings with my online boyfriend. So I snapped a photo of my tray and sent it. Me: "It's noon! Big brother, eat well, don't be picky with your food." Gavin immediately transferred me $520. Gavin: "Please go eat something decent. I don't want people saying I abuse my girlfriend." My eyes lit up. I accepted it instantly. Me: "Thanks, Young Master." Me: "Young Master is generous." Gavin: "?" I quickly recalled the messages and retyped. Me: "Thanks big brother, big brother is the best." Me: "Don't worry, I'll make sure to eat until I'm chubby." I felt like I found a business opportunity. Drinking boba, send a pic to Gavin. Me: "Today's lemonade is sweet, but not as sweet as my lips. Does big brother want a taste?" Him: [Transferred $1,314] Shopping for clothes, send a pic to Gavin. Me: "Big brother, which dress looks better? I can't decide, help me pick one?" Him: [Transferred $9,999] Him: "Why hesitate over a cheap dress? Buy them all." Walking past a real estate office, send a pic to Gavin. Me: "Big brother, look, these houses are so nice. Wonder if I'll ever get to live in one." Him: "........" Him: "Too far." I clutched my phone and giggled like an idiot. I thought Gavin was kinda cute lately. 8 Gaming at night. Gavin and I were about to start when someone joined the lobby. "Young Master, carry m..." Before he could finish, Gavin kicked him. A second later, he joined again. "Bro, Bro, I was wrong, please don't kick!" The guy pleaded. Gavin was impatient: "Spit it out." The guy laughed creepily. "Hehe, playing duos is boring. Let's 5-stack, Bro. Let us meet Sister-in-law." "Sister-in-law, I'm Zach. Can we play together?" Being called "Sister-in-law" made me shy; I couldn't even speak. But Gavin... something in that sentence must have pleased him, because he agreed. Soon, two more people joined. One had an anime boy avatar, ID "Loves Only One." The other had an atmospheric, aesthetic girl avatar, ID "Zoey." "Long time no see, Gavin." The beauty greeted Gavin immediately. My heart sank. I sensed trouble. Gavin gave a faint "Mm" and started the game. Hero selection screen. I was about to pick the support fairy as usual. The beauty spoke up: "I'll play support. I want to protect the new little sister." And she pre-selected the fairy. I didn't think much of it. I picked my best mage, Luna. Then the enemy team picked the invisible assassin. At the start, the fairy followed me. Level 2, the assassin ganked me. I panicked, flashed in the wrong direction, and gave up First Blood. "Sorry, I..." "It's okay, you did great," the fairy comforted me. Zach chimed in too. "Don't worry Sister-in-law, if that assassin touches you again, I'll run him over with my boat." Maybe because I'd been playing support lately, my mage skills were rusty. Plus, with the fairy riding on my head, I felt even more nervous. The more nervous I got, the more mistakes I made. Within seven minutes, I died four times. And the fairy died with me three times. "Can't read the map?" Gavin spoke his first words since the game started. My fingers tightened around my phone.
