The Bet, the Fawner, and the Hidden Guardian

The Bet, the Fawner, and the Hidden Guardian Plot:

Lin Xiaoman agrees to be the "fawner" for campus heartthrob Chen Mo just to win a bet with her best friend—her breakfast is thrown into the trash in front of her, the seat she saved is given to someone else, and even her confession is laughed off by Chen Mo. She pretends not to care, but when she cries in the corridor late at night, her deskmate Liu Xuan hands her a tissue. From then on, Liu Xuan becomes her "invisible shield": he secretly replaces Chen Mo’s rejected breakfast with a warm one, cleans her dirty white shoes, and even stands in front of her when Chen Mo’s fans surround and confront her, shouting, "She’s my girlfriend." When the bet ends and Chen Mo suddenly comes with flowers to ask for a second chance, Lin Xiaoman looks at Liu Xuan’s blushing ears and finally understands—those warm moments that kept her going weren’t Chen Mo’s charity, but Liu Xuan’s true love hidden under his "carefree" mask. She smiles and jumps into Liu Xuan’s arms: "Turns out, what I was betting on wasn’t winning Chen Mo—it was whether you’d keep guarding me."
