Chapter 9: A Lonely Lifetime — I suggest that the OP and neighboring OP get together.1

 

After Fang Wan had finished her rambling explanations, Jiang Zhi Zhou’s heart was still not very at ease. Fang Wan was excellent in every aspect, and even though she had deceived him on this matter and drawn his anger admittedly, this was ultimately his own problem. It was his fault for straddling this threshold all along.

Perhaps it truly was what Miss Xia upstairs said; he was destined to spend the rest of his lonely life unmarried.

Recalling that Miss Xia upstairs, he suddenly realized the pa—ta— noise was giving him a headache after it stopped. He subconsciously looked up at the ceiling before walking over to his computer desk and turning the device on. He clicked open Promontory Forum.

【Tree Cave】 I Seem Unsuited For Dating  

「 #1 Gou Dan2

I have a severe case of mysophobia and possessiveness. I cannot accept it if my girlfriend has had relationship experience. I went to see a psychiatrist, but I haven’t improved. My family has arranged blind dates for me, and among the candidates, there has been no lack of women with very excellent qualifications. And yet, ultimately because they all have had previous boyfriends, I end up rejecting them. I might truly be unsuitable for dating. 」

「#2 Your Uncle

What decade are you living in?! To think there is actually this type of mysophobia-diagnosed man like you, hehe.」

「#3 Did Emperor Mo send a pic today?

OP asks others to be a virgin, are you a male virgin?」

「#4 Yu Zhi VIP Card Transfer Personal Chat

Hate men like you with this type of mysophobia!! You are precisely unsuited for dating, stay single your entire life!」

「#5 Using Life to Tease

<<<2 Second brother, don’t be foolish. How can there possibly be a genuine male virgin in this world ╮(╯_╰)╭They give their first time to their right hand」

「#6 Slightly Cool Breeze

^^ Why are you all so harsh? Do you not see the OP’s title, Tree Cave? Plus OP also said he went to a psychiatrist to receive therapy, a group of keyboard hero losers 」

「#7 Emperor Mo came from the shoot today?

Oh! Ah Sixth Brother so emotional. If we are losers, what are you? You like the OP like this, you and he should get together. Oh, but he might reject you because you don’t get along eh :)」

「#8 Slightly Cool Breeze

<<<7 Sorry, I’m a man. Plus may I offer a bit of advance. Don’t bark Emperor Mo’s name randomly around. Don’t blacken his name, okay?」

「#9 #4 Yu Zhi VIP Card Transfer Personal Chat

<<<8 Isn’t the only one ^^ barking randomly you? You are a man so you are amazing? Accusing the OP to be a virgin with just a look, disgusting!」

「#10 Is it okay to eat quick-witted beans?

Maa, I am a man too and somewhat understand OP’s psyche, but now that the female hymen can be repaired, there is no need to care too much about these things, okay? Lighten up a bit, brother.」

「#11 Delaying Terminal Cancer

For a split second I thought the neighbor OP double posted, 『teary smile』 I suggest that the OP and neighboring OP get together. Don’t go and harm anyone else.」

「#12 Delaying Terminal Cancer

Posting link to neighbor 『link』 *blesses you both* May you live a long and happy life together」

Jiang Zhi Zhou’s expression finally changed slightly when he read up to this point. Neighboring post? He moved his mouse slightly to click on the link the twelfth poster gave.

【Tree Cave】 I Seem Unsuited For Dating  

Jiang Zhi Zhou: “…”

For a split second, he also believed he had double posted.

Sluggishly returning to reality, he continued to scroll down.

「I think I might be unsuited for dating. I very much enjoy the ambiguous phase of sounding out each other’s feelings, but after becoming official, if they want to hug me, or perhaps kiss me, I will immediately feel nauseous. Mn, might not be able to say it’s nauseous though; it’s just very contradictory. I might not like being so intimate with others, even if this person is my boyfriend. I don’t know why it’s like this. Every boyfriend of mine had an excellent appearance and character, but when they want to take a step further with me, I begin to alienate them, ultimately breaking up with them.」

Jiang Zhi Zhou: “…”

Seeing that there was also others that had the same shortcomings as him in this world, he felt his heart ease greatly.

 

「#2 I am just me

I can only say that you just simply don’t like your boyfriend. Evaluation finished.」

「#3 Staring Cat

OP’s symptom and mine are somewhat similar… My friend says that I have been single for too long. I’ve become so used to being alone, I cannot accept being too intimate with another person.」

「#4 Don’t frown, I’ll leave

A woman like this OP is really terrifying. What wrong has the other done? Since you know you have this type of problem, just don’t go and waste someone else’s time and affections, okay?」

「#5 Soft Meowzie

Am I the only one who thinks that OP is trying to show off her boyfriend? Keke


「#6 Delaying Terminal Cancer

OP, I hope you can go together with the neighboring fellow patient『link』No need to thank me. My name is Lei Feng.

……

Xia Wei clicked the link to look and instantaneously frowned. This clean freak man was obviously more vile than she was, okay?!

Maybe…

She stretched in disappointment before collapsing on her huge, soft bed. Groping for her phone to the side of her pillow, she easily entered the best friend chat. Twiggy and Eight Treasures were gossiping in full swing about her ex-boyfriends, unexpectedly uploading old pictures she had once sent. Xia Wei was stunned for a moment. Those past fragmented memories flashed through her mind.

Her first boyfriend was a colleague from her workplace. At that time, she had still been such-and-such fashion magazine’s editor. That colleague had taken very good care of her even outside the workplace. He had been very gentle and soft. Later, because she had chaotic, conflicting views with the editor-in-chief, she quit. The day before she left, her colleague had officially confessed to her.

The next three months were the happiest times they had had together. After she had quit her job, she went to a specialist nail care school to learn manicuring. She then became preoccupied with looking for a salon and moving houses. Although those days were busy, there was nourishing love. They had both been incredibly cheerful. Because Twiggy’s home was very close to the storefront she leased, she had moved in. She still remembered that day when he helped her move in. They had also shared a meal together there, and then later he wanted to go further with her… They broke up after that.

She had met her second boyfriend during summer vacation last year. When ordering rice with meat and veggies online, she had left a comment for the restaurant to send their handsomest little brother to deliver it to her. She hadn’t expected that the boss would actually send her a handsome little brother.

This little brother that delivered the take out seemed very young. After she got to know him, she learned that this little brother was in university and was taking advantage of the summer break to work part-time while studying. During the hottest time of the year, she spent every afternoon ordering from this restaurant. The handsome little brother would also brave the great sun every day to deliver it to her. He had not once been late.

She felt that her own father wasn’t this good to her.

But once again, what was the use; in the end she still dumped the other person.

Xia Wei felt that her afterlife might truly be in hell.

Ai! She kneaded her temples anxiously. Those comments were right; she shouldn’t keep dating. If she was single, then she should stay single! She turned off her computer and lights, forcing herself to close her eyes and sleep.

In order for her to not run into that horrid Mr. Jiang in the elevator, she planned to leave ten minutes earlier. So, she was going to sleep a bit early!

That evening, the horrid Mr. Jiang was also tossing and turning restlessly until the wee hours, only falling asleep then. The next day, he left at daybreak, having received a call from his sister-in-law. The conversation had been as he expected—in other words, it was about him and Fang Wan.

“So this matter, although Fang Wan made a mistake, you rarely get along so well with someone as you did with her. Separating just like this would be too unfortunate.”

Jiang Zhi Zhou didn’t say anything. The woman sighed and continued, “Nevermind, nevermind. I’ll help you find another one. This time, I will clearly find out beforehand.”

“No need, sister-in-law. I don’t want to go on another blind date for the time being.”

His sister-in-law was stunned. “I know your heart has been suffering, but you cannot give up because of this! If this time doesn’t work out, there’s still next time. Young people can’t even handle small setbacks like this?”

“You really don’t need to. I want to calm down for a while first and adjust my mentality. We can talk about it again in the future.” He didn’t wait for his sister-in-law to reply after finishing what he said and hung up immediately. He truly was a bit tired. Actually to him, spending the rest of his life alone wasn’t that awful.

Just as he placed his cell phone into his coat pocket, the elevator arrived. Once the elevator doors opened, they revealed Miss Xia from upstairs standing inside.

Jiang Zhi Zhou: “…”

In order to not run into her, he had obviously left ten minutes earlier.

Xia Wei also had ellipses (。。。) blaring across her face. This Mr. Jiang was practically a deceased soul refusing to disperse!

The two of them stood in the elevator with the tacit understanding of keeping silent. Jiang Zhi Zhou thought that perhaps he should try leaving fifteen minutes earlier tomorrow. After arriving in the garage, the orange cat, as usual, was lying on its stomach beside his car—it was just that this time it had brought a friend.

A dead mouse.

Jiang Zhi Zhou: “…”

This was already the second time this orange cat had gifted him a mouse. Last time, he had talked to it for a very long time. The orange cat had also not given him a mouse in a very long time. He didn’t expect… Maybe its mood was better today.

Miao~ Upon seeing Jiang Zhi Zhou arrive, the orange cat meowed and pushed the dead mouse over to Jiang Zhi Zhou.

Jiang Zhi Zhou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He gave cat food and water to the orange cat before grabbing several napkins from his car to pinch the tail of the mouse to move it. The orange cat raised its head to glance at him before continuing to eat its cat food. Jiang Zhi Zhou didn’t throw the mouse away in front of it, instead walking out of the garage to throw it into the trash can.

This was the second time he dealt with a dead mouse. It was significantly more natural than the first time.

He washed his hands before returning. Crouching down beside the orange cat, he murmured, “Thank you for your gift. Next time, you don’t need to be so polite.”

Miao~

Jiang Zhu Zhou silently quirked his lips. He opened his car door and drove off, catching sight of the Miss Xia from upstairs talking on the phone while walking into the subway entrance as he passed by the station.

 

“You are saying Xia Ming Ming wants to come here to live with me?” Xia Wei asked her mother.

“Mn, his mother says he is coming to A City to find a job. He doesn’t want to rent an apartment for the time being since he wants to find work first and then find an apartment close to his workplace.”

“Oh, so it’s like this. Although, the apartments near his workplace may be very expensive.”

“He can slowly search when that moment comes. There will definitely be somewhere suitable in the end. The most important thing is that he needs to find a place to live first.”

Xia Wei thought for a moment before replying, “It doesn’t matter to me, but I still need to ask Twiggy first and tell her.”

“Okay. Notify me afterwards to confirm. If he can’t, help him find other accommodations.”

“Okay.” Xia Wei was afraid that the signal in the subway station would be poor, so she hadn’t entered. She stood by the roadside and sent a message to Twiggy.

「Twiggy, my younger brother is coming to A City to find a job. He doesn’t have a place to stay at for the time being, so he wanted to stay here with me for several days. Can he?」

Not Losing 5kg Not Changing Name: 「Sure. You’re cleaning the rooms anyway~ Which one of your younger brothers?」

Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: 「My younger cousin from my dad’s side, Xia Ming Ming」

Not Losing 5kg Not Changing Name: 「Haha I remember him! This name I can remember for a lifetime hhhhhh」3

Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: 「……『smile』」  

 

 

  1. OP as in Original Poster (in an online forum) 
  2. Gou Dan (狗蛋) is a common, old-fashioned nickname. Traditionally, a poor nickname would be given to a child, as they were worried that if they called out the child’s real name, supernatural beings would be jealous and steal the child away prematurely. 
  3. Ming (明) is a very common name in China; it’s the kind of name featured in children’s books about Little Ming doing this, doing that, saying this, saying that.
