Thank you so much!

“You told her everything?” Quin Yu asked through gritted teeth.

“Of course, she’s my wife. I only skipped the eggplant,” said Lu Kai and hung up.

“??,” Quin Yu kicked at the tire again. If Lu Kai didn’t stop at the last second, his asshole would be filled with an eggplant. The strength that kid hid underneath the white coat was immeasurable. (BS’s strength pill.) About the same height, the unfazed Lu Kai used his ravishingly hot voice to let the aroused Quin Yu know that he was saving his virginity for his future wife, like a ‘good boy’ he was. Lu Kai kept to that good boy facade and didn’t retaliate further, or more like, that boy was too detached from the world to care about revenge or grudges.

The more Quin Yu harassed Lu Kai, the more accidents occurred, like Lu Kai testing his inventions on Quin Yu or using Quin Yu as a lab rat.

.....

What could Lu Kai say? Xue Bi’s way of having fun influenced him too much.

At first, Quin Yu thought that by the wife, Lu Kai meant him and that it was Lu Kai’s way of making him submit to his kinky plays. There was no way in hell for him to act as someone’s woman. They came to a tacit understanding, and let bygones be bygones.

After he stopped the harassing, so did the accidents. When he asked, Lu Kai said something about playing around while waiting for his nonexistent wife to appear, by building allies and connections, in case she needed some protection, that’s if she would ever appear. Lu Kai accomplished what he wanted; Quin Yu became a part of the allies and connections, but no woman appeared by his side until that sugar baby, making one think that Lu Kai was hiding her from everyone’s radar this whole time.

What the hell?! It wasn’t like Quin Yu didn’t meet a ton of batshit crazy people. After meeting Silika Lin, she didn’t seem to fall short in this aspect. But what the hell?!

Li Jie didn’t have a song which didn’t become a sensation overnight. Who was that mysterious muse? How come they never heard of her before? Most scenes were about Li Jie and his white moonlight, who died a tragic death. Among all the casts, his fans couldn’t help but overthink about Silika’s role in the MV.

Some made fun of the clip, thinking about how the company didn’t have enough money to hire more talents because they cast one woman into so many roles.

The first thought which would come to most minds was Silika being a crazy stalker.

Some took it as Silika working many jobs to support her love. Being a die-hard fan was an expensive hobby.

Some understood it as Silika struggling hard to achieve her dream as a doctor. She worked many jobs to pay for her studies, where Li Jie’s music was her mental support. This viewpoint connected with the meaning of the song, where one should take a break and do what one loved.

It resulted in some crazy theories, such as Silika murdering Aoi Hong.

Not long ago, there was a singer who committed suicide because of too much pressure. Silika’s message ‘Sorry for adding more stress on you’ had to equal society’s pressure on celebrities.

Silika Lin later explained that it was her way of thanking her hubby for putting up with such a crazy wife as herself.

Thanks to this, everyone thought that she was an attention seeker by pretending to be Li Jie’s wife.

There were even some funny memes like ‘Senpai finally noticed me’ where Silika was wearing her jumper with Li Jie’s photo on it, or a toy story meme, where Buzz gestured his arm in the air while speaking to his buddy Woody: “Silika Lin... Silika Lin everywhere...”

(A/N: Click on the paragraph comment to see the meme.)

XiaoPu worked hard to create this meme and pass it everywhere he could. Using his own social media account with his cute profile pic on it, he became Bing Shi’s second loyal fan after her hubby.

Bing Shi didn’t care much about news headlines, she wanted to take over social media, and for that, she borrowed Li Jie’s fame and his fans to spread herself further.

And like a chain, some trolls continued to slap Silika’s meme wherever she wasn’t present in a discussion and tagged #SilikaLin in every one of their posts.

Bing Shi snickered joyfully when she noticed the rising amount of followers. Should she add some content? Mm, she definitely should. Putting on an apron, she used her new kitchen to make one bento box after another. Done with cooking and arranging the food, she began to take pictures, adding a selfie here and there.

Going through the pictures, Bing Shi posted her favorite bento box – she sprinkled black, seaweed sheets in a heart shape at the top of the rice and arranged egg rolls and sausages in between the vegetables.

@SilikaLin: Hubby. Did I do a good job??? #Wife #FirstJob #CrazyFan #BurnOut #LiJie #S...

“...” Inside his office, Lu Kai chewed on a sausage octopus as he went through his wife’s social media. His lips twitched continuously due to all the misunderstandings she created. What could he do? His sweet wife had been confessing her love for him all over the world. And here he was, doing nothing to stop her.

@Mr.Jelly: Asking for a hard spanking, aren’t you? #SilikaLinIsMyWife

Among all the obscene comments from the male population, there was one that caught Bing Shi’s attention.

@SilikaLinLin: Spank me Daddy~

Bing Shi immediately clicked on a like button, laughing at how one food picture accumulated such a lewd audience.

@DandyBeast: Asking Santa for a yandere girlfriend. #SilikaLin

@HoneyMug: My wife, the food was delicious, I can’t wait to come home and (R-18 content)... #SilikaLinIsMyWife

@Bentobox: Imaginary dog food is the best dog food. Shipping myself with Silika Lin. #SilikaLinIsMyWife

And so, Bing Shi found an excuse to change her status to: Married, without anyone giving a damn.

Appearing in Silika’s room, Lu Kai observed his wife. She had been dusting off her piano skills at the corner of her room, in front of her PC desk, for the past two months.

After being an extra in a few movies, and failing many auditions for bigger roles, his wife was scouted to be an idol trainee. With the help of her singing instructor, she got a decent control of her vocal muscles. But instead of training her vocal cords for two hours a day, she made her voice sound bad on purpose. With her perfect pitch, she could almost certainly sing in tune, because her ear was so highly sensitive to out-of-tune notes. So why? To challenge the autotune... She was more curious about the program itself than improving her innate potential!

Bing Shi, Xue Bi, and Biyu (Buddhist Nun) weren’t music prodigies, nevertheless, they were very proficient in learning it. But all choose to switch to different fields of study opposite of arts, infuriating their parents endlessly, (except Bing Shi’s, who said nothing when she refused to study a new instrument).

In the past, it was rare to hear his wife’s performance. She would be humming some tunes of her favorite songs at most. For example like this...

“Hm. Hm. Hm ??,” Bing Shi turned towards Lu Kai, pressing her pointer against her lips, she indicated that she was going to live-stream her performance.

“...” Lu Kai sat at her bed in silence. Taking out a sketchbook, he began to draw Bing Shi in whale pajamas. So Cute.

Bing Shi’s channel was mainly about showing her progress in various skills and her path to becoming an actress. She shared her failures and new findings. She didn’t have time for editing videos, which resulted in her live-streaming. Her instructor told her to get used to the camera, and she heeded to his teaching. Her content varied from training her musical instruments, martial arts, acting, singing, and dancing.

“Tomorrow, I’ll be moving to ML’s entertainment dormitories, where I’ll be living with three other girls in one room. Pray for me. I’m afraid that ML will kick me out after the first day if they find out I came up with yet another song instead of training my vocals, hehe,” Bing Shi hit a few keys of the piano, her thin fingers touched the black and ivory white keys softly like the wands of new spring foliage. While trying out various melodies, she came up with the lyrics, “Hm... Let’s name it Aquarium Glass.”

The chat went out of control with cheering. From her training, they knew her song wasn’t going to be groundbreaking. They continued to adore her, even though she looked a bit dull and tired without any makeup on.

Bing Shi’s audience slowly witnessed how she trolled her own fans. She sounded far from bad! The melody was nothing special, but their hearts weren’t prepared for the power in her voice! More than calling it singing, she recited the lyrics in a monotonous beat with a tint of rebeliousness.
