Xu Lin: "Just say you have a boyfriend."
A man understands another man best. If a normal guy sees that a woman is taken, he'll usually back off.
Of course, there are exceptions, but they're rare.
"I told him, but he doesn't believe me, and my mom even told him I don't have a boyfriend."
Shang Wanjun paused: "Xu Lin, how about pretending to be the teacher's boyfriend?"
"Did you read some novels? This trope was used years ago."
"No, but I watched a drama, 'Rent a Girlfriend for New Year's'!"
Shang Wanjun covered her mouth and laughed.
"What's that show?"
Born in 2007, Xu Lin really hadn't heard of this drama. Although it was from a few years ago, there's a significant generation gap between those born after 2005 and those before.
"It's about the male lead being pressured by his family to marry, so he rents a girlfriend to bring home. Later, due to various situations, they unintentionally end up together as a real couple."
"That's pretty cliché too."
Xu Lin realized.
