Wu Jianxuan sat quietly in front of the computer, his eyes fixed on Xinxin's familiar yet unfamiliar WeChat avatar on the screen.
His finger rested lightly on the mouse, clicking on the avatar again and again, and then closing it silently.
Every click seems to be accompanied by endless hesitation and struggle.
Recalling the moment of their breakup, Xinxin's performance was beyond Wu Jianxuan's expectations.
She didn't cry or get hysterical, but accepted the outcome with extraordinary calmness.
At that time, Wu Jianxuan thought that this meant that everything between them was over and there would be no more nostalgia or concern.
Less than a month after the breakup, Wu Jianxuan quickly obtained a marriage certificate with Ma Shuting and entered the marriage hall.
For some reason, as if guided by an invisible hand, he picked up his phone without anyone noticing and dialed the familiar yet unfamiliar number - Xinxin's number.
Xinxin's cold voice soon came from the other end of the phone, and Wu Jianxuan greeted her with a few words of forced calmness.
However, what responded to him were Xinxin's cold words and indifferent tone. Every word was like a cold winter wind, ruthlessly blowing through Wu Jianxuan's heart.
"Mr. Wu, what can I do for you?" Xinxin's voice was icy cold, without a trace of warmth.
Wu Jianxuan's heart tightened, but he managed to maintain a calm tone. "Xinxin, how have you been lately? I've been worried about you... I saw the trending searches online. Are you dating Lin Sijue?"
"Don't worry about my current situation." Xinxin interrupted him, her tone revealing obvious impatience. "If there is nothing else, I'll hang up first."
Wu Jianxuan hurriedly added: "Wait! Xinxin, I know there are many misunderstandings between us, but I really hope you can be happy..."
"Misunderstanding?" Xin Xin sneered, her voice full of sarcasm. "Mr. Wu, do you think there's anything else we can talk about now?"
After a brief, awkward exchange, the two hastily hung up the phone. But the moment the call ended, Xinxin could no longer contain the surging emotions within her. Like a flood bursting through a dam, she burst into hysterical tears. Tears rolled down like beads from a broken string, soaking her clothes.
"Why...why is it always like this..." Xinxin choked and muttered to herself, her voice full of helplessness and pain.
In her memories of her previous life, Wu Jianxuan had brought her endless pain and betrayal. Those painful memories were like a sharp dagger, piercing her fragile heart again and again.
Now when I face this name again, the scars buried deep in my heart seem to be uncovered again, bleeding.
In this life, when they broke up, Xinxin chose to keep Wu Jianxuan's contact information.
It's not because she still has feelings for him or hopes for reconciliation, but because she wants to give herself a chance to completely let go of the past and say goodbye to that unbearable relationship.
Only by truly facing the past hurts can we bravely take steps towards a new life.

"Who were you talking to on the phone just now?" Ma Shuting came out of the shower and saw Wu Jianxuan's gloomy face.
"nothing."
Wu Jianxuan was unwilling to say, and Ma Shuting didn't dare to ask.
The two rested in silence.

Xinxin stayed at home and did not go out.
Lin Sijue anonymously ordered Xinxin's favorite takeout, hoping that she would feel better.
Xinxin looked at the note on the takeout order, which read: "I hope you like it and feel better." Her heart was full of doubts. She didn't know who ordered the takeout, nor did she know if there was anything dangerous in it.
Xueru would definitely tell her in advance when she bought something for her, so she decided to throw the takeaway away and ignore the matter.
Lin Sijue had not expected Xinxin's reaction at all. He thought Xinxin would be very happy to see the takeaway.
In the next few days, he ordered takeout for Xinxin every day.
It wasn't until the 7th day that the delivery man called and said that the owner seemed to have moved.
Lin Sijue was completely dumbfounded.
