A Fake Loyalty TestChapter 1

I just posted vacation photos with my boyfriend on social media when a relationship tester private messaged me.

"Hey sweetie, your boyfriend looks like a player. Give me his Ins, and I'll test him for free, okay?"

I replied: "Scammer! You're probably just a homewrecker looking to seduce other people's boyfriends."

After I refused, she posted our private conversation online and played the victim.

A flood of internet users swarmed into my messages to insult me.

I publicly apologized to her, saying I just wanted a quiet life.

But she and the internet mob were convinced I was guilty and insisted they had to help test whether my boyfriend was faithful.

A few days later, the relationship tester triumphantly posted a screenshot of adding my boyfriend as an Ins friend, with the caption:

"Easy catch. Your boyfriend's not behaving~"

But as I looked at her, I felt nothing but pity.

The relationship tester's new post had been up for barely an hour when it broke ten thousand likes.

I stared at the two screenshots in the post. The first was a friend request:

"Hey handsome, add me as a friend~"

The second was their Ins chat interface.

The comment section had already exploded, with internet users flooding in to mock me.

"Quick, make her look! Her boyfriend is flirting with a strange woman!"

"No wonder she cursed when offered a free test. Turns out her boyfriend is cheap trash."

As the internet wished, I was tagged in the pinned comment.

Watching the comments become increasingly vicious, I couldn't help posting an explanation:

"Thank you all for your concern about my relationship, but my boyfriend and I have known each other since high school, and I trust him. If our relationship really falls apart in the future, I'll break up without hesitation, but until then I don't want to subject him to any human nature tests, and I don't want anyone interfering in our relationship."

Seeing quite a few internet users agreeing, I breathed a sigh of relief, praying everyone would just disperse.

But the relationship tester immediately came crying: "Sweetie, I don't want to ruin your relationship. I just wanted to help test him because I'm afraid of girls meeting bad men."

As soon as she spoke, the fans who originally supported her followed suit.

They were convinced I just couldn't let go of a scumbag.

Looking at these harsh words, my chest tightened. Finally I just turned off my phone.

That evening, after finishing work, I came home.

As soon as I entered, I saw my boyfriend Aaron leaning on the sofa looking at his phone, a faint smile on his handsome face.

Hearing me, he reflexively jerked away, turning his phone face-down, and said stiffly:

"Summer, you're home so early today?"

"Yeah, were you chatting with someone?"

"A buddy."

My heart sank. He was lying. Aaron always blinked when he lied. I comforted myself—we were adults, everyone had their private matters.

I pretended not to notice and complained about work as usual. Aaron also listened quietly as usual, but his eyes kept glancing at his phone.

After talking for ages without a single response from him, I felt inexplicably tired. Remembering the day's drama, I couldn't help testing: "Aaron, did any strange people try to add you on Ins today?"

He smiled lightly: "No."

But my heart sank even deeper at his words. I unconsciously gripped my collar tighter, quickly shaking those strange thoughts from my mind.

Aaron and I had been through so much together. It wasn't like others hadn't appeared—junior girls who had crushes on him, coworkers who liked him—but he rejected them all. How could our relationship be destroyed now by some random person who appeared online?

Besides, I knew what kind of person Aaron was.

Thinking this, I relaxed and went to my room to rest. But when I opened my social media app, I saw the relationship tester had just posted again.

"Foolish woman, I feel sorry for you."
