After Using My Crush’s Photo to Ward Off Suitors

In Li Xia’s twenty-sixth year of singlehood, her parents didn’t ask for much. They just hoped she’d hurry up and get into a relationship. Tired of the nagging, Li Xia pulled up a photo of a random handsome guy she’d recently started following on Instagram and set it as her phone wallpaper.

Whenever anyone asked, she’d simply hold up her phone for them to see. It was quick and effortless.

He had fewer than a hundred followers—a total unknown. No chance of things blowing up.

Or so Li Xia thought.

On a business trip to a misty ancient town, she had just finished burning incense at an old temple when a sudden shower of beaded rain poured down.

A late-arriving visitor asked her something. Li Xia unlocked her phone to check the time.

When she looked up, she saw a face that was both strange and familiar.

He gave her a half-smile. “Why are you using my photo?”

“Quantum entanglement. Dreams do come true.”
