Chapter 1: Renting a Boyfriend

Let's break up..." Under the bright street lights, the surrounding Christmas trees are shining.

　　People were coming and going around him, laughing and joking, but Chang Le's heart was growing colder and colder.

　　He looked at the girl in front of him with some disbelief.

　　"Why?"

　　"Because you are too ordinary...and boring to me." After saying this, the girl left without hesitation.

　　Only Chang Le with a dazed look on his face was left standing on the street.

　　White snowflakes falling...

　　"It's snowing…"

　　…

　　Ding-a-ling…

　　The alarm sounded.

　　Bang!

　　An arm stretched out from the quilt, grabbed the vibrating alarm clock, and threw it hard.

　　Bang!

　　The alarm stopped abruptly.

　　In the small rental house, Chang Le curled up in bed with his student ID card on the table beside him.

　　Chang Le, sophomore student at Tianhai University, student number ****

　　A gust of wind blew in from the open window, and Chang Le sat up from the bed, his expression looking very haggard.

　　He glanced at the alarm clock that he had thrown on the ground and sighed.

　　Get out of bed and get dressed.

　　Grab your phone.

　　"Ding Dong!"

　　As soon as I turned on the screen, a message was sent.

　　This is an advertisement:

　　Do you want to show your masculine charm?

　　Want to date all kinds of girls?

　　If you want to exercise your masculine charm, you can also earn a living.

　　Then please join us!

　　Starting today, the Tianhai branch of the Rent a Boyfriend Agency is open for business!

　　Welcome all handsome young people to join us!

　　Rent a boyfriend?

　　Chang Le forced a smile. There was actually such an outrageous thing.

　　However, he was stunned when he saw the part about exercising his masculine charm.

　　In my mind, I vaguely remembered her cold words yesterday.

　　"Because you are too ordinary and boring to me!"

　　He was silent and subconsciously looked at the contact information below the advertisement.

　　Just... simply give it a try.

　　"Hello, is this the boyfriend rental agency?"

　　"Yes sir, do you want to register for the rental boyfriend identity?" The pleasant voice of the customer service was heard on the phone.

　　"Well, I want to try it."

　　"Okay sir, we will have an offline interview with you later and provide you with some training after signing the contract. Is this acceptable to you?"

　　Chang Le hesitated for a moment, and slowly made a decision in his heart.

　　"good!"

　　"Okay, I'll send you the interview time and location later. Do you have any other questions?"

　　"What do I need to do?"

　　"This will be discussed with you during the interview and training. After all, people with different personalities need different personas."

　　"Oh, I see."

　　"Any other questions?"

　　"...No more, thank you." Chang Le suppressed the urge to ask, "Can I really become popular?" and hung up the phone.

　　Putting away his phone, Chang Le glanced at the address and time sent by the other party on the screen, sighed, and shook his head as if he remembered something.

　　"I was really impulsive. I actually believed such a thing..." But he fell silent again. The cold voice of his ex-girlfriend last night kept echoing in his mind, causing him to feel a pang of pain in his heart.

　　Do you really make yourself boring?

　　He came to the small bathroom.

　　In front of the mirror, my appearance was revealed.

　　Thick bangs covered his eyes, and a pair of large black glasses covered most of his face.

　　He was wearing clothes that had become somewhat whitish from washing.

　　His family was not rich, so he dressed very rustically.

　　Looking at myself in the mirror, I feel so rustic and gloomy.

　　Chang Le finally understood why his ex-girlfriend said that, because even he himself felt disgusted when he saw his appearance in the mirror.

　　Bang!

　　He punched the mirror, and with a snap, countless cracks appeared on it.

　　His expression became somewhat ferocious.

　　I know I look too ordinary.

　　I know I'm dressed in a very rustic way.

　　I know I'm not welcome.

　　But,

　　You clearly don't like me and you clearly think I'm boring, but why did you choose to accept my confession on the day I confessed my love to you, and then break up with me so ruthlessly in the end? Was you playing with me?

　　call!

　　He took a deep breath, exhaled the depression in his heart, looked at the cracked mirror, smiled bitterly, and sighed.

　　Life must go on after all.

　　He thought about the interview at the rented boyfriend's agency...

　　Even if he couldn't make himself attractive, it would be good to be able to earn some living expenses, he thought.

　　…

　　When he arrived at school, the first class had already ended. As he passed through the corridor, he was surrounded by men and women who were secretly looking at him and talking about something.

　　Yes, he is obviously the most unpopular person, but he found a beautiful girlfriend. This kind of thing makes people feel incredible just thinking about it. After successfully confessing to her, he has to endure such gazes every day. He felt secretly happy before, but now he is only helpless.

　　We have broken up, and the ending you predicted has become a reality, assholes!

　　Today is the day of the school assembly. After putting his things in his place, Chang Le followed other students towards the lecture hall.

　　Many people had already arrived in the lecture hall, and Chang Le and his group were the last group to arrive.

　　"Silence!" A teacher in a suit spoke solemnly at the podium, quieting down the chaotic lecture hall.

　　The teacher nodded and began a brief summary of the semester.

　　"Next, it's the president of the Student Union, Shangguan Xiyue, who will give a speech!"

　　Amidst warm applause and the gazes of the boys around her with excited and red faces, a girl who seemed to be glowing walked up to the podium.

　　She was wearing a standard college uniform. Under the black suit was a white shirt with a slight bulge in front, attracting everyone's attention. She was wearing a dark blue pleated skirt on her lower body. Black stockings wrapped around her long legs. On her feet were a pair of black leather shoes. Under the light, round spots of light were formed on them.

　　She has long black hair and a beautiful face under her fair skin that is enough to make people obsessed. She walked up to the podium with an expressionless face, emitting a majestic and cold aura.Very strong aura!

　　She is the campus belle of Tianhai University, the daughter of the Shangguan family on the board of directors of the college, a legendary girl who is admired by everyone for her looks and talent.

　　"Next, I will give the speech." She started, her pleasant and serious voice rang out. The male students below stared at the figure above, their faces were excited, and the only thing in their minds was Shangguan Xiyue's beautiful face.

　　Chang Le was also in a daze at this time, but he was wondering what he would encounter during the interview...

　　Will there be training... Rent a boyfriend. After successfully registering, will anyone rent him?

　　He fell into self-doubt.
