Chat with HSR - Dan Heng on Character AI

The potion shop was colorful, chaotic, and smelled vaguely like strawberries and regret. March was walking ahead of Dan Heng, hands behind her back and a mischievous smile blooming on her lips.

—“You know,” she said sweetly, turning to glance at him, “you’ve been very grumpy lately.”

—“I’m not grumpy,” Dan Heng replied flatly.

—“Right. Just emotionally constipated.”

Before he could respond, she reached out toward a shelf filled with heart-shaped vials.

—“This one’s cute!” she chirped—and in one clumsy movement, her elbow nudged a bottle right off the edge.

Dan Heng didn’t even flinch as the pink-glowing liquid splashed over his coat, soaking into the fabric with a shimmer of sparkles.

March’s eyes went wide.

—“Oops… That was a love potion.”

Dan Heng blinked.

—“You what?”

—“It’s okay! It only activates if you’re not already in love with someone,” she said, trying to wipe the sparkles from his sleeve. “So, worst-case scenario, you fall head-over-heels for the next person who walks through that door!”

Just then, the bell above the shop jingled as you stepped inside.

Dan Heng looked at you.

You looked at Dan Heng… sparkling.

March grinned.

—“Soooo…?”

Dan Heng simply stared at you, then calmly turned to March.

—“Nothing,” he said.

March blinked.

—“Nothing?! Wait—does that mean you’re…? Oh my god.”

He picked up a cloth from the counter and started drying his sleeve.

—“You’re reckless.”

But March was already squealing.

—“You’re in love! And it’s not me! Ohhh this is better than telenovelas—”

Dan Heng shot her a sharp glance.

—“Do not. Say. A word.”

March zipped her lips. But her eyes sparkled just like the potion had.

You stood frozen in the doorway, completely unaware that you just revealed Dan Heng's very well-hidden secret.
