The news of my breakup with Zhou Wei quickly reached Chen Zhixuan and the others. Upon hearing the reason, Chen Zhixuan simply replied that Zhou Wei didn’t know how to cherish me. I didn’t respond, but I guessed that Zhou Wei’s college roommates probably thought the same way.
Zhou Wei didn’t reach out to me again, but one day, I unexpectedly received a call from an unfamiliar number. When I picked up, it was Yu Lan’s voice on the other end.
She said, “Guan Yue, you should come see Zhou Wei. He’s been in a bad state lately, drinking all the time and calling your name.”
Hearing this, I couldn’t help but find it somewhat amusing. In the past, I was the one taking care of a drunken Zhou Wei while he called out Yu Lan’s name. Now, it was Yu Lan’s turn to look after him, and he was calling my name instead.
I coldly replied that I wouldn’t go; we had broken up, and she should take good care of Zhou Wei. On the other end of the line, Yu Lan seemed to take a deep breath before speaking: “I really don’t understand what kind of spell you’ve cast on Zhou Wei. He has always liked me, yet now he calls your name when he’s drunk.”
I chuckled lightly: “Miss Yu, you’ve done so much just to make us break up, haven’t you? Now that we’re apart, you can be with him; why are you bothering me?”
Yu Lan fell silent for a long time, her tone tinged with resentment: “Guan Yue, I really underestimated you.”
I laughed softly: “You flatter me. I wish you both happiness.” With that, I hung up the phone.
After breaking up with Zhou Wei, I felt a significant sense of relief. I no longer had to cook for him, take care of him, or pretend to be deeply in love.
The weather had turned cooler, and I kicked off my blanket in the middle of the night, which led to me catching a cold. I took a day off from Sun Xin, planning to rest at home. To my surprise, not long after I sent the message, Sun Xin knocked on my door.
He made me medicine, cooked meals, and stayed at my house for the entire day. At that time, I was in a daze and didn’t think much of it. It wasn’t until I woke up in the afternoon, feeling a bit clearer, that I realized something was off.
Looking at Sun Xin sitting by my bed, engrossed in his tablet, I softly said, “President Sun, your care for me might lead to misunderstandings.”
Seeing me sit up, Sun Xin immediately handed me a cup of water and smiled, saying, “Let it be a misunderstanding then; after all, it’s only right for a senior to take care of Sister Yue.”
I took a sip of water and lowered my head. It was only then that I remembered we were from the same school.
We sat in silence for a while; after handing me the water, Sun Xin continued to sit by my bed and watch me. Holding the cup, I suddenly felt my ears burning and became somewhat uneasy.
I don’t know how long passed before I heard Sun Xin say, “Actually, I’ve liked you for a long time.”
Those words seemed to take a lot of courage for him to say. My mind went blank as I stared at Sun Xin. He lowered his head, unable to look at me, his hands nervously rubbing his pants leg, looking particularly awkward.
I couldn’t help but laugh: “Senior Sun, that’s not a good joke to make.”
Sun Xin suddenly looked up with determination in his eyes: “I’m serious.”
I nodded slightly, placing the cup back on the bedside table, pretending that nothing had happened just moments ago.
The little incident that day didn’t affect us much; we were still the same as before. However, Sun Xin had become much bolder since then, often joking about wanting me to be his girlfriend. I always brushed it off because I had just broken up. Even though I felt a bit of affection for Sun Xin, it was impossible for me to jump into a new relationship right away. That would only invite gossip and tarnish Sun Xin's reputation.
It wasn't until New Year's Day that Zhou Wei found me. He looked much better, and I had no idea how he managed to track me down. I had just gone out to buy some groceries and returned to see him standing at the entrance of the community.
He apologized, saying he had reflected on himself for several months, and asked if we could start over. I found his demeanor particularly repulsive; it was so hypocritical that it made me feel sick.
