Chapitre 4: RENTING THE CHEAPEST BOYFRIEND!

I opened the profile of Handsome Meng God and saw a tagline on top of his profile.

'I am the lover that you need, but not the lover you deserve. I am the protector of your heart, the night watcher. I am Handsome Meng God!'

"Pffftt!" I tried to hold my laugh when I read this tagline. Well, this guy got a plus for me, many girls might not like a weird tagline like this, but it was a good chuckle.

I scrolled down to check his physical information, and it was even weirder.

'Eh? Nine years old, height is 120 cm, weight is undefined, and race is Asian… what the heck? Am I dating a kid here?! Is this even legal?!"I refreshed the profile, afraid that it was just an app bug or something.

But it showed the same thing. I got creeped out. As much as I like to see cute children, I would never do that thing…

I imagined myself on a date with a nine years old kid.

'Jiejie, I come to pick you up!' the boy said while riding his bike. He wore an oversized suit with a black bowtie.

'Thank you so much, but where should jiejie sit?' I replied after seeing his bike.

'Don't worry, jie! My dad said that you can use your own bike and we will go to the park together!'

'But jie wants to have dinner with you…'

'But my mom said that I should return before five!'

I shuddered and slapped my cheek, "Why did you even imagine it, Shi Ying! You despicable!"

I closed the profile and tried to search for another cheap man for rent. But the more I checked, the more I realized that everyone was expensive!

"Pei! These men think they are worth my thousand Yuan?!" I cursed at these men who put ridiculous prices only for a date, and based on the agreement, I should also be the one who needed to pay for the food and trip?!

Since it was hard to find a cheap boyfriend for rent, I filtered my search and narrowed the price from 0 to 200 a day.

And pop!

Only one option, Handsome Meng God.

…

"WHAT A GREEDY CAPITALISTIC APP!" I yelled and almost threw my phone on the ground. But I stopped after I remembered it was still on credit, and I hadn't paid for this month's instalment.

I took a deep breath for a while and decided to just order and check out for the Handsome Meng God date two days from now. At least, he needed to do a briefing first for this guy, so they wouldn't be too awkward and obvious when meeting her parents.

'Ding Ding Ding! Thank you for your order! The order will be forwarded to our stock boyfriend immediately!'

I took a deep breath and started thinking about my life choice that led me to rent nine years old as my rental boyfriend.

"Am I going to jail for this? But he is definitely not nine years old. The application said all of their stock boyfriends are legal, L E G A L! This Handsome Meng God must be bluffing!' I said while silently praying that I wouldn't meet a real nine years old.

[Yang Menghuo POV]

'Ding Ding Ding, a new order for your date! Go grab their money!' Menghuo heard the notification from his phone. He had just landed his helicopter on a vast meadow. He had a small golf competition with his friend today.

Yang Menghuo frowned when he checked his phone. It was a notification from the Rent A Boyfriend app, telling him that he got an order.

"Someone actually ordered my service?" Menghuo wondered. He downloaded the app and registered because he was the investor of that random app who suddenly trended out of nowhere. So, the CEO of this app, Jiang Jinxing, contacted and asked him to download and register for fun.

As a joke, Menghuo set up his profile, slogan, and physical data when he was nine years old… a reminiscence of a fond memory. He also put on a cheap price, knowing that most of these rented boyfriends put on high prices for their service.

'Anyone who ordered me must have misclicked… or simply a desperate girl not wanting to spend money on a rented boyfriend, what a cheapskate!' Menghuo said to himself when setting up his account.

"How could she find me in this app anyway? There are literally thousands of boyfriends for rent. Did she literally scroll way down to find the cheapest one?"

Menghuo checked the profile of his first client, Shi Ying, 27 years old, working as a secretary in a company. He checked the profile picture, and it was the face of a mature looking woman with a filter, of course.

"Hm… two days from now. I don't have any plans, but… meh, not in the mood."

Menghuo was about to cancel the client, but he suddenly got a call from his mom, Madam Yang.

"Yes, mom?" Menghuo asked.

"Menghuo, Daiyu said that she wants to meet you. She will return from France in two weeks. Go meet her. She will be your future fiancee. You've been single for too long. I'm worried that you might have disliked women," Madam Yang suddenly said out of the blue.

Menghuo's eyes widened, "B--But I already told you that I don't like her."

He shuddered whenever Li Daiyu's name was mentioned. Because Li Daiyu was the girl, who had been obsessively chasing him like a madwoman. She was just… a total drama queen.

"It's better than nothing. Menghuo, you need to get married, don't be gay."

"I'M NOT GAY!"

"But you never showed me your girlfriend… in fact, you never introduce a woman to us," Madam Yang sighed.

"T--That's because…" Menghuo wanted to say that he was waiting for someone, but he didn't even know where that person was right now.

"Okay, no more debate. Daiyu will come to our home unless you magically have a girlfriend and let me meet her in a month. Because I will return back from America by that time. Don't even try to bring a fake girlfriend or something because you know I have eyes everywhere. Remember that, Menghuo."

Beeeeep.

Ding Ding Ding, the order has been accepted.
