Chapter 379 I Deserved to Be Dumped
In the end, it was Xu Dantong who initiated the breakup.
Before the three-month period had even expired.
Huo Huai'an looked at her in surprise, speechless for a long time.
“Xie Qinglan is right, we’re not a good match.” Xu Dantong turned her head away. “You’re stingy and unromantic. We’ve been together for so long, and you won’t even treat me to a cotton candy.”
Huo Huai'an: "..."
He never treated her to a five-dollar cotton candy, but he did take her to KFC!
Perhaps it's a common trait among rich girls, but his girlfriend is quite demanding. When they go out on dates, she complains that Chinese food is too greasy, Western food isn't flavorful enough, and barbecue, hot pot, and skewers are too spicy. After all that complaining, they end up eating KFC, stuffing their mouths with fried chicken and chicken wings, and then they don't complain about the greasiness anymore.
To be honest, even Miss Lu is not as difficult to serve as her.
However, aside from these minor flaws, it is truly wonderful; it is considerate, heartwarming, and understanding.
...Let's return to the topic of spending money.
Last time she was in a bad mood, to cheer her up, he took his roommates' advice and bought her a bag worth over ten thousand yuan. But her happiness only lasted a few days before she learned that her exam results were not ideal, and her mood started to drop again. Helpless, he had no choice but to take her out for a walk to clear her mind, and in the end, he "casually" gave her a necklace...
He also covered the expenses for our last trip to J City.
He is indeed stingy with others, but he's not so stupid as to be stingy with his girlfriend.
It could be said that his biggest expense in his more than ten years of life was getting a girlfriend.
Just as Huo Huai'an was about to speak, he heard Xu Dantong continue:
"Young Master Huo cares about the world and the common people. He cares about his cousin who went abroad, worries about his childhood sweetheart who just broke up with her boyfriend, and even takes a second look at a rat that has been run over by a car on the roadside. But he doesn't care about me at all. He's so perfunctory when he talks to me, his girlfriend. Being with you is the worst luck I've ever had. Let's break up. I don't want you anymore."
Huo Huai'an: "..."
That was quite unexpected.
He was the one being pursued.
But he was also the one who got dumped.
Huo Huai'an wanted to say something, but when he inadvertently saw her slightly reddened eyes, he couldn't bring himself to say the words.
Putting aside material things, he is indeed not a qualified boyfriend.
Huo Huai'an's tone softened: "It was my fault. I deserved to be dumped. Next time you look for a boyfriend, remember to keep your eyes open and don't date someone like me... If you're ashamed, you can always tell others after the breakup that I was the one who pursued you, that it was very difficult for me, but I was such an idiot, stingy and didn't know how to sweet-talk..."
If saying that would make her happier, he wouldn't mind taking the blame.
Xu Dantong quickly raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eye, then turned her back, saying, "Do you need to tell me!"
Huo Huai'an asked, "It's getting late, shall I take you back to the South Campus?"
Xu Dantong said irritably, "You're no one to me, I don't need you to take me!"
Huo Huai'an: "..."
Fine. After the breakup, he's not only no longer my ex-boyfriend, he's nobody to me anymore.
-
Xie Qinglan learned of their breakup that very day.
Xu Dantong herself said it.
Xie Qinglan: "Huo Huai'an finally dumped you?"
Xu Dantong raised her chin. "What nonsense are you talking about? I was the one who dumped him."
Xie Qinglan looked at Xu Dantong with surprise, as if she were meeting her for the first time. "Her long-standing eye disease and brain damage have finally been cured?"
Xu Dantong: "You're the one who's brain-dead!"
Xie Qinglan's brows relaxed. "So what if you dumped her? Find someone better in the future... even though the best one is right in front of you, and you'll never have it in this life or the next..."
Xu Dantong: "Xie Qinglan, did you not look in the mirror before you left this morning?"
Even if no one else wants her, Xu Dantong would never look at a piece of trash like Xie Qinglan.
Xie Qinglan continued, "But there are many people better than Huo Huai'an."
Xu Dantong pursed her lips and turned to look in the direction of the North Campus.
Regardless of whether she meets someone better than Huo Huai'an in the future, she will never go to the North Campus again.
-
When Huo Huai'an visited Lu Fengqing at the Lu residence again, he also mentioned this matter to Lu Fengqing.
Lu Fengqing was taken aback. "Why?"
Huo Huai'an shrugged. "She thinks I'm not good enough."
Lu Fengqing looked at Huo Huai'an with the eyes one would use to judge a scumbag, "What did you do to him?"
Huo Huai'an: "...I didn't do anything."
Lu Fengqing nodded, "That's because they were disliked for not doing anything."
"..." Huo Huai'an thought to himself, "If you want to understand it that way, it's not impossible."
Lu Fengqing asked again, "Then you still like her?"
Huo Huai'an paused for a moment, then smiled nonchalantly and said, "We've already broken up, why bother with this?"
Although he had wanted to break up for a while, Huo Huai'an was inevitably a little depressed when the breakup actually happened.
She was a girlfriend I genuinely tried to like and who truly had feelings for.
I just didn't fall for her in the end; I didn't particularly like her.
Seeing that Lu Fengqing was about to ask again, Huo Huai'an changed the subject: "Have you checked? Is it a boy or a girl?"
Lu Fengqing: "It's a boy."
Huo Huai'an nodded. "It's best if boys are like you."
If someone's personality is like that ancestor's, they'll be so disliked.
It doesn't matter to girls.
Girl dogs are not easily fooled.
-
After the breakup, Huo Huai'an was blocked by Xu Dantong.
University A is very small. If someone intentionally avoids you, you may never see her again.
For many years afterward, Huo Huai'an never saw Xu Dantong again.
They met again ten years later at his sister's wedding to Xie Qinglan.
They exchange glances, look at each other a couple of times, and that's it; there's no further interaction.
It was as if we had never met.
Xu Dantong looked like she didn't want to talk to him much, so Huo Huai'an naturally wouldn't go out of his way to talk to her.
He just didn't expect that Lu Fengqing would actually remember this.
"Is that your ex-girlfriend?"
Huo Huai'an was somewhat surprised, "You've seen him before?"
Lu Fengqing: "We met once during my sophomore year."
Her roommates knew she and Huo Huai'an were close, and one time they happened to run into each other, and one of them pointed it out to her.
Lu Fengqing asked, "Is she married?"
Huo Huai'an: "...How would I know?"
Seeing that he didn't seem very interested, Lu Fengqing didn't ask any more questions.
Huo Huai'an didn't take the matter to heart.
Not every couple can reconcile after a breakup; he and Xu Dantong ended things a long time ago.
Yu Ran had urged Huo Huai'an about marriage, especially after her daughter got married.
Yu Ran even wanted to arrange blind dates for her son.
Huo Huai'an was both amused and exasperated when he learned of his mother's thoughts. "Mom, I'm not that old, there's no need to rush. When I meet the right person, I'll naturally want to get married."
Yu Ran: "What if you never meet the right person in your whole life?"
Huo Huai'an thought for a moment, "That means God wants me to be a bachelor for the rest of my life."
"If you listen to God so much, why don't you call God 'Mom'?"
"..."
Huo Huai'an could understand his mother's thoughts, but he didn't want to accept them.
To prevent Yu Ranzhen from arranging a meeting for him, Huo Huai'an simply packed his bags the next day, asked to go on a business trip, and sent himself away.
Originally, Huo Huai'an only wanted to avoid blind dates, but he never expected that this trip would lead him to meet the woman who would make him willingly step into the grave of marriage.
