Chapter 2290: Chapter 2291: A Major Misunderstanding (Part 1)
The more An Baobei was excited about meeting and dating ’One Person’, the more Ning Zihan felt his headache grow. Yet he still typed a reply: "While it’s still just a fondness, nip it in the bud!"
Seeing ’One Person’ even using an exclamation mark, An Baobei finally became less excited and a bit disappointed: "Do you really not want to be with me that much?"
"Yeah."
"Luckily I just have a fondness for you. If I really liked you, such words would have hurt my heart so much. Fine, fine, if you don’t want to be with me, forget it. But can’t we at least meet once? We’ve known each other for a year and a half, it’s about time we met, don’t you think?"
"We’ve discussed this before; I don’t want to meet you."
"Are you really that ugly, not even daring to meet me..." An Baobei couldn’t help but imagine just how ugly ’One Person’ could be, so ugly that they wouldn’t even meet her.
Ning Zihan: "..."
"If you don’t want to meet, then forget it." An Baobei continued via voice message, "But One Person, looks are innate, it’s not your fault, you don’t have to feel inferior. I think there must be people in this world even uglier than you. Isn’t there a saying, ’Comparing up leaves one lacking, comparing down leaves surplus’? So really, you don’t need to feel inferior."
Ning Zihan: "..."
After a long silence, Ning Zihan still replied with just an "um".
Once she stopped chatting with ’One Person’, An Baobei lay on the bed, filled with curiosity: "Can they really be that ugly..."
She had known ’One Person’ online for a year and a half. Whenever she mentioned meeting up and having fun, ’One Person’ would straightforwardly refuse. Now, ’One Person’ even admitted to being extremely ugly. Honestly, it only made her more curious about ’One Person’s’ appearance — just how ugly could they be to refuse to meet even once?
But are they really ugly...
Given how decisively he spoke, hitting the nail on the head with every sentence, hardly wasting words, she had thought he should look quite handsome.
Thinking of this, An Baobei became even more curious about ’One Person’s’ appearance. Whether ugly or handsome, she genuinely wanted to see what ’One Person’ looked like.
Her gaze landed on a piece of calligraphy she wrote during the day’s livestream on her bedside table. This piece was meant for the top supporter of the day, who was once again ’One Person’. Now, everyone online knew that her top fan was ’One Person’. All the gifts she sent out were monopolized by ’One Person’.
Oh right, the address!
An Baobei’s eyes suddenly lit up. The piece of calligraphy was to be sent to ’One Person’ just like the previous gifts. This time, she could skip the courier service and deliver it directly to the address herself. That way, she could meet ’One Person’ and see what they looked like.
"Yes, that’s it!" An Baobei was very pleased. "I’ll go to City A tomorrow!"
The address was in City A. Even if ’One Person’ wasn’t from City A, he was staying there.
...
The next day, An Baobei told An Jing and them that she was indeed flying to City A with the piece of calligraphy to find ’One Person’.
Following the address, as soon as An Baobei got off the plane, she took a taxi to a standalone villa halfway up the mountain in the southern suburbs of City A.
Politely, she rang the doorbell.
Soon, an elderly man with slightly graying hair answered the door and asked her, "Miss, who are you looking for?"
’One Person’ never told An Baobei his real name, and each time An Baobei sent a gift to ’One Person’, the recipient’s name was also filled out as ’One Person’. Because of this, An Baobei had no idea what ’One Person’s’ real name was.
