《出租女友》

被同事戲稱為「最後處男」的蔡世男，來自南台灣的鄉下囝仔，生活節儉個性木訥寡言，在科技業工作二十年，因不善辭令且不喜歡交際應酬，爬到襄理的位置後就原地踏步，以致幾個以前的同事和部屬都陸續爬到他的上面去了，可他生性樂天並不以為意。

公司裡的同事多半清楚蔡世男的底細，「在室男」絕非浪得虛名，他潔身自愛，從來不鬧緋聞，更不涉足夜店等風月場所，女同事在他眼裡都無性別且無差別，就連同事們要幫他牽紅線，都被他一概婉拒。可他絕對不是「同志」，因為他對女人男人同樣不感興(性)趣，就這樣孤家寡人過日子。直到有一天，他接到老爸打來的電話，說他老媽罹患肝癌，只剩半年壽命，要他無論如何得在老媽離世前，找到對象結婚成家，還交代他一個月內把女友帶回南部老家。
這通電話給了世男莫大的心理壓力，可他不想讓任何同事知情，他覺得這是件尷尬的醜事，一旦有同事知道，肯定會傳揚開來，然後他就成為被人取笑的話題人物。世男想到網路上有「出租女友」，應該可以解他的燃眉之急。他從孤狗搜尋引擎中找到一家「線上男女朋友出租公司」，撥了電話去詢問，接電話的服務生回答他，「本公司貨色齊全，請專程前來公司挑選產品。」
蔡世男穿著休閒服戴起墨鏡，出現在該公司的產品展示櫃前，他詳細端詳了幾樣產品，終於挑選了其中一個。
女售貨員從倉庫裡扛出一只長箱子，放在世男面前的大辦公桌上：「蔡先生，你相當有眼光，這款賢妻良母型女友，是本公司的主力商品，除了不能幫你生小孩，其它的服務都能令你滿意。」
「這租金怎麼計算？」
「您是要月租還是年租？」
「就先租一個月吧！」世男心想如果產品的確好用，再決定年租。
「月租是一萬五千，高貴不貴耐操好用，您等於家裡多了個女傭。」
「如果使用期間，產品發生故障呢？有沒有提供售後服務？」
售貨員信心滿滿地回答說：「當然有完善的售後服務，不過，本公司的產品可靠度百分百，從來沒有顧客因產品故障而送回來維修的紀錄。」
「這麼神啊！」蔡世男心想：「如果真是這樣，這筆租金就很值得。」
「保證物超所值啦，蔡先生，請移駕到腦波設定室去，本公司產品一旦啟動後，必須聯結你的腦波，完成產品功能指令設定。」
蔡世男跟在售貨員身後，進到腦波室，按照設定員的指示，躺在一張床上。售貨員將那箱產品打開，雙手環抱抬起一具光溜溜的「女偶」，熟練地把她擺在另一張床上。
設定員將腦波儀上的感應線貼布，貼在蔡世男腦殼上的兩端太陽穴，隨即把兩條端子線接上人偶後頸部髮叢間的插孔，先啟動人偶，接著開始傳輸蔡世男的腦波。約莫半小時，設定員完成整個設定程序。售貨員搬來一箱衣服和配件，帶著那只人偶進到更衣室，一刻鐘後就把人偶打扮成一位俏麗的輕熟女，穿著長裙套裝，模樣相當可人，令蔡世男眼睛為之一亮。
「她這樣摩登的外型和裝扮，跟在我身邊，感覺我很老土，能不能……」蔡世男立即反應心中的疑慮。
「蔡先生，這部分你不用操心，她會幫你重新設計造型，讓你外表上跟她很速配。」
「好吧！」，蔡世男很輕易被說服了，跟著售貨員離開腦波室，三人來到櫃檯，世男取出信用卡刷卡付帳，然後領著這具「女友」離開。
蔡世男給女友取名「陳玉蓮」，這名字是他小學時的同班女生，曾經也是唯一令他動心過的女生，可後來她舉家移民美國。玉蓮勾著世男手臂，兩人像一對熱戀中情侶似的，走在高檔的商店街騎樓，引起一些路人好奇的目光。兩人走進一間男裝服飾店裡。半小時後，兩人走出服飾店，世男的衣著果然煥然一新，變成一個很稱頭的摩登紳士。接著，玉蓮又把世男帶去理髮店，徹底改頭換面。
兩人手上拎著大包提貨袋回到世男的住家，位於郊區的一座寬敞的別墅型透天厝。
玉蓮很有效率地把這些用品歸定位後，就圍起圍裙下廚準備晚餐。有了女主人，這座透天厝果然有了家的雛型。玉蓮打理家務，動作迅速，雖然蔡世男仍舊對她不冷不熱，但是溫柔體貼的玉蓮，卻會主動地找機會跟他討摟抱，態度就跟新婚妻子沒兩樣。
週一上午，蔡世男回公司上班，他的時髦外型立馬成為同事的焦點，有同事主動探問他是否談戀愛了，他都笑而不答，同事們因而更加狐疑。當天傍晚，蔡世男向人事經理告假，要把先前累積的特休假用完，原因是他得回南部老家，探視臥病在床的老媽媽。
蔡世男換了一部嶄新的双B房車，帶著陳玉蓮回到南部老家。老父母和妹妹一家人，看見蔡世男挽著一位外型亮麗的輕熟女進到家門，眾人都驚訝到眼珠子差點掉下來。
晚餐餐桌上，妹妹頻頻以各種話題探問「未來大嫂」，想摸清楚對方來歷，玉蓮應答得相當得體，掰出一段感人的「當哈利遇到莎莉」的故事橋段，家人聽得津津有味，為世男終於找到一個美好的「歸宿」而感到欣慰。只有蔡家的小黃狗，不死心地一直跟在玉蓮腳邊，東嗅西嗅……。


"Rent-a-Girlfriend"
Cai Shinan, who was nicknamed "the last virgin" by his colleagues, came from a rural area in southern Taiwan. He was frugal, introverted, and taciturn, and had worked in the technology industry for twenty years. Due to his poor communication skills and dislike of socializing, he remained in the same position as an assistant manager, while several of his former colleagues and subordinates were promoted above him. However, he was carefree and didnt care about it.

Most of his colleagues in the company knew about Cai Shinans background. He was not just a virgin by name, as he lived a celibate life, never got involved in scandals, and never set foot in nightclubs or other such places. In his eyes, female colleagues had no gender or distinction, and even when his colleagues tried to set him up with someone, he declined. However, he was not a "homosexual," as he was not interested in either men or women. He simply lived a solitary life.

One day, he received a call from his father, who informed him that his mother had been diagnosed with liver cancer and had only six months left to live. His father asked him to find a partner and get married before his mother passed away, and to bring his girlfriend to their home in the south within a month.

This call put a lot of pressure on Cai Shinan, but he didnt want any of his colleagues to know. He felt that it was an embarrassing and ugly matter, and if any of his colleagues found out, it would become a laughingstock. Cai Shinan remembered that there was a "rent-a-girlfriend" service available on the internet, which could solve his immediate problem. He found an "online boyfriend-girlfriend rental company" through the search engine and called them.

The service representative who answered the phone told him, "Our company has a complete range of products, please come to our company and select the product you need."

Cai Shinan wore casual clothes and sunglasses and appeared in front of the product display cabinet at the company. He carefully inspected several products and finally selected one.

The female salesperson carried a long box out of the warehouse and placed it on the large desk in front of Cai Shinan: "Mr. Cai, you have a good eye. This type of girlfriend is our companys main product. Except for the inability to give birth, she can provide all other services that you require."

"How is the rental fee calculated?"

"Are you looking for a monthly or annual rental?"

"Just rent for a month first!"

"The monthly rental is fifteen thousand, its not expensive for the quality, and its durable and easy to use. Its like having a housemaid at home."

"What if the product malfunctions during the rental period? Do you provide after-sales service?"

The salesperson confidently replied, "Of course, we have comprehensive after-sales service, but our companys product reliability is 100%, and we have never had a customer return a product for repair."

"This is amazing!" Cai Shinan thought, "If thats the case, the rental fee is worth it."

"We guarantee that its worth the price, Mr. Cai. Please go to the brainwave setting room. Once our companys product is activated, you will experience the ultimate girlfriend experience."
