Chapter 46: The Online Romance Supporting Female Lead Becomes Everyone’s Crush (46)

Photos of Tang Qing with Si Yuechen and another of her giving water to Yang Mingyue didn’t escape the sharp eyes of netizens. It wasn’t long before they were posted online.

Two heartthrobs, one beautiful girl—both pictures undeniably radiated chemistry, a subtle, unspoken tension that made things feel just a little too cozy.

"Adults don't choose—they take both!"

"Quick intro: the guy on the left is Si Yuechen, the top student at B University, a genius with a massive female fanbase and hailed as the campus's most handsome guy. On the right is Yang Mingyue from A University's sports department—total boyfriend material. Every basketball game, girls line up to give him water, but rumors say he only accepts drinks from Tang Qing."

"Am I the only one who thinks Tang Qing is seriously charming? A million retweets demanding Tang Qing release a dating tutorial!"

"This girl’s got game. Back when she was fooling guys online, she had them wrapped around her finger. Now two campus crushes are into her. How does she do it?"

...

Tang Qing was no longer just a blogger who paid off debts—she’d become a full-on flirting queen.

Initially, only a few asked for advice, but soon, nearly every comment under her Weibo posts begged for a love guide. Ignoring it became impossible.

Finally, she went live. "Hey everyone, I’m Tang Qing! Lately, you’ve all been sliding into my DMs asking me to stream—well, today I’m free!"

"Frankly, there’s no secret trick. They’re just friends—it’s not like what you're thinking..."

Of course, no one believed her. Comments exploded:

"Just friends, sure—call one of your 'friends' right now and prove it!"

"Put your money where your mouth is!"

"Men and women can't be 'just friends'—science said so!"

Amid the flood of demands, Tang Qing grinned slyly. "Alright then—who should I call?"

"Si Yuechen! I wanna hear what a 'male god' sounds like on the phone!"

"Yang Mingyue! I'm here for the sunny golden-retriever vibes!"

Choosing between them, she picked Yang Mingyue. The line rang once—*click!*—and he answered instantly, his voice brimming with excitement: *[Tang Qing, you called me?]*

"He picked up in 0.2 seconds—y’all witnessing this?! This is the godlike man you've been chasing forever, and look at him now—this is VIP treatment!"

"My crush ignores me, but with Tang Qing, he's like a whipped puppy..."

Trying hard not to laugh at the comments, Tang Qing threw out a random question. "Hey, next Monday’s an early class—can you save me a seat?"

Yang Mingyue didn’t hesitate. "Sure thing. Want me to grab breakfast too?"

"If it's not too much trouble…"

Was there *ever* any trouble? At the thought of sitting beside her on Monday, Yang Mingyue was already mentally planning their reunion. "No trouble at all! I'd move mountains for you!"

"What do you like to eat?"

Her voice softened, warm and sweet. "Surprise me—I trust your taste."

"Cue the jealous meltdown in 3…2…"

"Yang Mingyue’s totally into her! He even cares about her breakfast—my man could never."

"Tang Qing's answer was totally on point—'I'll love anything you buy!' That's a total hook! One cast and it’s a sure catch!"

"Alright, really, we're just friends." Skimming the flood of comments, Tang Qing hung up the phone, smiling warmly as she spoke. "Just grabbing breakfast together, that's all."

The camera zoomed in on Tang Qing’s face, and viewers suddenly noticed how gorgeous she looked when she smiled—especially her eyes. Even through the screen, there was something about the way they seemed to look right at you, making you feel special…

Paired with her striking features, you could easily get lost in that gentle gaze.

"Mom! I want to date her too!"

"Anyone else feel that? That look from Tang Qing—I’m *dead*!"

"Eyes like that? Who wouldn’t swoon?"

As the chat buzzed with excitement, Tang Qing’s phone suddenly pinged. Eagle-eyed fans spotted it right away—it was Si Yuechen!

"It’s him! Si Yuechen—I saw his profile pic at the professor’s office, that black one!"

"'01' is from algorithms—this is definitely B University’s Si Yuechen!"

"Sis! Let us see what the genius is saying!"

With everyone watching, Tang Qing reluctantly opened the message: "You free Monday afternoon?"

"Need you to approve the nav voice pack."

"She’s totally free!"

"Lol, Tang Qing’s booked solid—morning classes with Yang Mingyue, afternoon lab sessions with the genius…"

Tang Qing quickly confirmed the time with Si Yuechen. But then, another message came through:

"The song you sang last time, *Summer Rinse*, was really nice. I recorded it and made a robot."

At this, the chat went wild.

"What song? What song? I’ve never heard Tang Qing sing that!"

"That’s low-key romantic—he turned his crush’s song into a robot!"

"Who says geniuses can’t be smooth? Team Si Yuechen all the way!"

"I hope you like it."

Through the video Si Yuechen sent, netizens got a clear view of the robot—an adorable, chibi-style bot. On-screen, his programmer’s fingers tapped lightly, and the robot sprang to life, speaking in a sweet voice:

"I’m Robot 01. How can I serve you, Master?"

Accompanied by the robot’s soft, childish tone, viewers saw its tiny display light up with big, blinking eyes that darted around—it was heart-meltingly cute.

Under Si Yuechen’s control, the robot soon played Tang Qing’s *Summer Rinse*:

"Upset

Cold wet

I just gonna feel alright

..." Tang Qing’s voice poured out—just as expected, sweet and soulful. Her voice fit the song perfectly, like a lover’s whisper in your ear: soft, deep, and filled with warmth.

"Sounds amazing! No wonder the genius likes this song—I love it too!"

"Whoever sings this song to me, I’ll fall head over heels for them!"

"Wait, didn’t you guys notice? The robot’s name is 01—like Si Yuechen! It’s definitely a deliberate choice. That way, every time Tang Qing powers it on, she’ll think of him..."

"Whoa, did the big guy fall for Tang Qing just because she sang this song?"

After the livestream ended, Tang Qing not only failed to clear up any confusion about her relationship with the two campus crushes, but she also earned herself a new title: love guru. Viewers all agreed—the vibe was totally fire, wholesome yet low-key flirty.

Even Tang Qing's version of "Summer Cozy Rock" blew up again. Already a niche track, paired with her unique vocals, tons of people downloaded it as their phone ringtone.
