Si Nian was stunned for a moment at the title, then noticed that the post also included several photos.
In the somewhat crowded subway car, a girl was carrying a large backpack, dressed in a long skirt with fluffy black hair.
She held onto the overhead handrail with one hand while looking down at her phone.
The boy opposite her was wearing a white shirt and carrying a black backpack.
One of his hands casually rested on the top metal pole, and he had a black electronic wristband on his wrist.
Although only the sides of their faces were visible and there was no eye contact between them, their body language suggested they were together.
The person who posted it also added a caption:
“Ahhh, I saw a couple on the subway today! They really gave off the vibes of a male and female lead from a romance novel.
Both of them are exceptionally good-looking.
Also, when people were getting on and off the subway, the guy always stood in front of the girl to shield her from the crowd.
I even noticed what seemed like a wedding ring on his ring finger.
As a single dog, I was so fascinated that I missed my stop.”
The post had been up for three hours and already had over fifty thousand likes and saves, making it a trending topic on that platform.
Si Nian, of course, recognized herself in the photos at first glance.
It was her, just a few hours ago, after finishing a shoot and taking the subway home.
And the guy who was mistakenly identified as her “boyfriend” was obviously Yuan Yu, who had simply taken the subway with her.
The post had already gathered over eight thousand comments.
Most of the people who saw it, like the original poster, admired the beauty of everyday moments.
Even though male and female leads in romance novels wouldn’t take the subway, only luxury cars, this scene still looks so pleasing to the eye.
Passing by, taking a small sip of this ship.
Sometimes, good looks are just an atmosphere.
Even without showing their full faces, these two just feel like they have high attractiveness.
Is this Line 2 of the B City subway? Why do I never run into such scenes when I take this subway every day?!
According to my childhood plans, this is exactly how I imagined dating would be. Facepalm, bitter smile.jpg
Looking closely, the guy is wearing a simple ring on his ring finger. Could they be married instead of just dating?!
Wait, they’re a married couple?! If so, I’m totally shipping this! I love real-life couples the most!
But the girl looks familiar.
I feel like I’ve seen her somewhere before, but I can’t remember where.
+1, she looks so familiar, but I just can’t recall where I’ve seen her.
Too bad we can’t see her full face.
Among the eight thousand comments, some people started questioning the authenticity of the post.
Is the OP actually working for a social media marketing company? This picture looks too much like a staged shoot.
+1, agreed.
It really looks like a model shoot.
Seriously, the lighting and composition don’t seem like a casual snapshot.
It feels too polished.
The original poster was shocked.
They had never expected a random daily moment they captured to go viral, let alone be accused of being staged.
They immediately replied to the skeptical comments, insisting that it was a genuine subway encounter and that the lighting and composition looking good was just pure coincidence.
Si Nian scrolled down to see the OP’s response and then noticed that the post had already made it onto the trending topics list.
At the same time, Jiang Yihan sent more messages:
Is the guy in the picture today’s “groom” from your shoot?
What’s with the ring???
Are you actually married???
Si Nian: ……
Distorted face.jpg
If she wasn’t mistaken, the ring on Yuan Yu’s finger was probably a prop from their wedding photoshoot earlier that day.
He must have forgotten to take it off before leaving.
It was just a cheap prop ring, nothing valuable, and he had worn it out by accident.
But somehow, it had led to this massive misunderstanding.
The two of them had simply been standing at a normal social distance for acquaintances.
The subway was a bit crowded, so they might have been slightly closer than usual, but they hadn’t engaged in any intimate actions at all.
How did they end up being mistaken as a couple, or even as a married couple?
After listening to Si Nian’s explanation, Jiang Yihan finally had an epiphany.
She had been shocked, thinking her best friend had secretly gotten into a relationship—worse, even secretly gotten married—without telling her.
She almost felt betrayed, as if she had been the only one taking their friendship seriously.
Si Nian checked the post again and saw that the number of likes had increased by another ten thousand.
Now, more people were commenting that the girl in the picture looked really familiar.
Some even started saying that the guy looked familiar too.
Although only a portion of their faces was visible, the fact that Jiang Yihan had recognized her meant that anyone familiar with her could also figure it out if they looked closely enough.
Si Nian stared at the constantly updating comment section, watching as more messages flooded in.
Then, finally, she saw the one comment that made her heart sink.
Wait… isn’t this girl Suisui Nian?
It’s her!
Her heart dropped completely.
Si Nian was speechless.
She had only waited a short while, but people had already started comparing the subway photos to other pictures to confirm her identity.
The comments were filled with dramatic reactions.
Someone even wrote, Woman, you liar!
The message basically accused her of deception.
Even though only part of her face was visible, there was no denying that the person in the picture was her.
Who is that guy wearing a wedding ring?!
Si Nian looked at the words “that guy” and sighed deeply.
She took a deep breath, wondering how she should phrase a clarification statement.
Should she contact Yuan Yu to see if he had noticed the post?
Before she could decide, Jiang Yihan sent another message.

Oh my god.
You’re trending again!
Si Nian clicked on the image.
The trending topic on the midnight entertainment list was #SuisuiNianSuspectedToBeMarried#, ranking at number seven.
A marketing account had summarized the whole incident and was fueling the gossip.
The reason it blew up was that someone had posted a subway encounter with a couple who looked straight out of a romance novel.
Then, some sharp-eyed netizens recognized the girl as the model Suisui Nian and noticed that the guy was wearing a wedding ring.
The trending topic comments were full of speculation.
Didn’t she say she was single recently? How did she get married so fast?
Maybe it was a flash marriage?
Her husband looks handsome, though.
They kind of match.
Passing by, taking another sip of this ship.
Wow, just from a candid photo, people think it’s staged. Their aura is insane.
Si Nian scrolled through the comments, feeling her eyelids twitch.
Then, she received a new message from Yuan Yu.

Uh…
Should I step in and clarify?
I forgot to take off the ring after the shoot.
I didn’t expect this to cause such a misunderstanding.
My bad.
Crying-laughing emoji
Si Nian thought about Yuan Yu’s almost inactive social media account, which had only one post from three months ago and fewer than two thousand followers.
“……”
Forget it, I’ll handle it.
And so, that night, as the topic continued trending, Suisui Nian personally clarified the situation.
