I’ve Shipped This CP Since I Was A Kid

Back when they were little, Ming Chen and Xing You were both chosen to compete in an international children’s music competition. Their piano and violin duet blew everyone away.

From then on, their childhood-sweetheart CP fandom quietly rooted for them to grow up together.

When they turned 18, fans started waiting every year for an official announcement.

But as time passed, the two never appeared together in public again. This once wildly popular national CP slowly faded into nostalgic history.

Just when fans had given up hope and were about to move on… a bombshell suddenly dropped— the two would appear on the same reality show.

Fans: !!!

As long as they meet, we’re happy! Even if they just get to know each other again, mama’s fine with that too! Nothing beats a reunion CP going from strangers back to familiar lovers!

On the show — lingering glances, flirty interactions, sugar dropped left and right — the CP chemistry was off the charts.

Bullet chats exploded:

【Mama, it’s real this time!!】

But afterward, when an interview brought up his childhood friend, Xing You — now a rising star in the classical music world — stiffened her face and flatly denied it three times, “No. Not true. Don’t know them.”

Fans wailed, their hearts breaking on the spot as their beloved CP abruptly crumbled. Xing You’s cold, ruthless comments immediately shot up the trending topics.

Until one night, paparazzi snapped footage in an underground parking garage — Ming Chen striding up, gently fixing Xing You’s collar, blocking the red marks on her neck. “Still mad about last night?”

Xing You’s face flushed bright red, frowning as she snapped, “So you also know too!”

Ming Chen lowered his head, kissed the delicate musician’s fingertips, and laughed softly, “It’s my fault.”

Fans collectively lost their minds.

From the time he turned 18, Ming Chen always kept his collars buttoned up tight.

Until one day, a photo surfaced on Weibo — Ming Chen’s exposed collarbone, and just below it, a tattoo of a woman’s name.

“She’s my fiancée.”
