Zhang Jin: What kind of group name is this? It's completely against public order and good morals!
Zhou Jingxing: That scumbag called me a mistress. [Smiling face]
Zhang Jin: So you just gave up and did nothing?
Zhou Jingxing: Was I being a mistress? I was rescuing a lover deceived by a scumbag, pursuing a romantic and captivating love, and bravely trying to prove my own charm.
Zhou Jingxing: You don't know anything! Let your wife come out and talk to me.
Zhang Jin: It seems reasonable and well-founded, but in reality, he's out of options.
Zhou Jingxing: Hello!
Zhang Jin: First of all, I don't call you "Hey".
Sun Qian: Can you guys please stop using such cheesy jokes?!
Sun Qian: There was a child who wasn't feeling well just now, so I talked to him for a while.
Zhang Jin: Him? A boy? Honey, let me tell you, teachers and students need to maintain a sense of distance.
Sun Qian: Be good, don't go crazy.
Sun Qian: What's going on with Chen Zhou ignoring you? You two were getting along really well when you went out last weekend.
Zhou Jingxing: Crying like a washing machine.jpg
Zhang Jin: Don't cry, you look ugly when you cry.jpg
Zhou Jingxing: He suddenly stopped replying to my messages, and he refused all my invitations to go out, but I saw on his WeChat Moments that he was attending a gathering of mutual friends.
Zhou Jingxing: The mouse is crying.jpg
Sun Qian: That shouldn't be the case.
Zhang Jin: Could it be that Shen Zhou and Zhao Xin have reconciled?
Zhou Jingxing: ...
Sun Qian: ...You know what, you really don't know what I mean.
Zhou Jingxing: What should I do now? [Bitterly]
Sun Qian: Keep it up! You don't think you can achieve success so easily, do you?
Zhou Jingxing stood there for a long time like a desperate, honest man, and finally could only blurt out, "Why?"
Why? That scumbag actually got back together with Shen Zhou.
Why is it that Shen Zhou actually likes a cheating man?
Why? It wasn't me who encountered the sunken ship first.
Ugh.
Everyone goes crazy eventually, Zhou Jingxing thought.
Even sunken ships.
He was at a class reunion, looking at Zhao Xin holding a microphone and singing "Ten Years" to him with deep emotion. In the background noise of the KTV and the cheers of his classmates, Shen Zhou really wanted to pinch his philtrum.
Don't be angry. Life is like a play, and we meet because of fate.
Chen Zhou forced a smile, stood up and said, "I'm going to the restroom."
Before he could even leave the private room, Zhao Xin suddenly stopped singing. Holding the microphone, he shouted, "Chen Zhou, I know I was wrong, please forgive me!"
Don't get angry. If I get angry, who will benefit? Besides, it's exhausting and a waste of energy.
Zhao Xin, still emboldened by alcohol, shouted, "Please, Chen Zhou! I really love you, please don't let anyone else replace me!"
This was a huge amount of information. Some people had already started whispering, while others were urging Shen Zhou to reconcile with Zhao Xin. Zhang Yang, seeing how unruly things were, stepped forward, snatched the microphone from Zhao Xin's hand, and pulled the drunkard back onto the sofa.
"Haha, he's drunk and talking nonsense. Come on, you guys sing, you guys sing."
Zhao Xin struggled to walk towards Chen Zhou, and Zhang Yang couldn't stop him. Zhao Xin looked like he was in great pain; his eyes were red, and he kept muttering, "Chen Zhou, don't go, don't go. Look at me, okay? Let's start over..."
He looked utterly heartbroken after a breakup.
Don't be angry, I don't get angry when others are angry... How can I not be angry! Shen Zhou's face turned cold for the first time. He picked up the microphone and said, "I'm sorry to have made you all laugh today. Actually, I broke up with Zhao Xin a long time ago. I'm sorry to have disturbed everyone's class reunion. I will never appear at class reunions with Zhao Xin again." He tossed a card to Zhang Yang, "It's on me today. Everyone, continue to have fun. I have to go now."
"Chen Zhou! Chen Zhou! You're so heartless! We've known each other for so many years, have you ever loved me?"
Chen Zhou, who had already walked out the door, stopped and turned back into the private room. Amidst the surprised looks of the crowd, he grabbed Zhao Xin by the collar and said, "Stop pretending to be crazy and come out with me."
Zhao Xin was sobered up considerably by the intense coldness of Shen Zhou. He staggered to his feet, refused the help of others, and followed Shen Zhou out.
Shen Zhou walked all the way to the underground parking garage before stopping. He unlocked the car, took a bottle of mineral water from the trunk, and walked towards Zhao Xin. Zhao Xin thought the water was for him to drink and reached out to take it. "Thank you, I just happened to be—" Before he could finish speaking, he was doused with water.
Chen Zhou, clutching the empty bottle, asked him coldly, "Are you sober now?"
Zhao Xin was stunned, unable to react. He heard Shen Zhou say softly, "If he's not awake, I still have a box in my car."
Zhao Xin quickly replied, "You're awake, you're awake. Don't waste your water."
Chen Zhou looked at him, her face still cold. "Didn't I tell you that we've already broken up? What's the point of you making such a scene at the class reunion today? Are you trying to force me to tell you that we'll never see each other again?"
Zhao Xin's face turned pale. "Chen Zhou, are you really going to be so heartless? I just love you so much, and I wanted to use this method to let you know that I love you."
Chen Zhou remained expressionless. "Fine, I already know you love me. You don't need to tell me about this anymore."
Zhao Xin's face lit up with surprise. "Really? You're willing to accept me?"
"No, I meant I understand, not that I accept it. Just because you like me, does that mean I have to accept you?"
Zhao Xin looked bewildered. "But when we got together, you said you liked me a little and were willing to give it a try."
Shen Zhou looked exhausted. "Zhao Xin, I've tried, but it doesn't work. I still can't enter into an intimate romantic relationship with you."
Zhao Xin quickly said, "It's okay! We can hold off on that for now. I know you're not quite ready for that kind of intimate contact yet, but I can wait for you!"
“Zhao Xin, I’m not just referring to that. Not just physically, but emotionally too…” Shen Zhou’s face showed guilt. “I’m sorry, I tried to fall in love with you, but I really couldn’t, but that’s not your fault.”
Zhao Xin's face turned ashen. "Is it because of Zhou Jingxing? You've fallen for him, haven't you!"
Shen Zhou immediately retorted, "Of course not! I wasn't even familiar with him when we broke up. It was between the two of us and had nothing to do with him."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xin's expression softened considerably, but Shen Zhou's next words did not make him feel much better.
"You should know about my parents' situation. They used to be an enviable couple, but even their deep and passionate relationship ended in divorce. That's why I've never been able to believe in love. If relationships bound by marriage are like this, what about us? Zhao Xin, you're a very good person, and I believe you'll definitely find a more suitable partner. Let's just forget about each other. Don't waste your time on me; it won't lead anywhere."
Zhao Xin opened his mouth, and after a long pause, he finally said, "I don't know... I'm sorry, I didn't think that was why you couldn't accept me." He seemed to have made a decision, and his expression suddenly became resolute. "I understand, I understand what you mean. I'm sorry, I was too naive before, I will... In short, I won't let you down again."
?
Shen Zhou vaguely sensed something was amiss, but he was simply fed up with continuing this entanglement with Zhao Xin. He gave Zhao Xin one last look, "Take care in the future. I'm leaving now, goodbye."
Zhao Xin stood there watching Chen Zhou's car drive away, her thoughts drifting away as well. So, Chen Zhou hadn't believed in her resolve, which was why she broke up with him!
"Even relationships bound by marriage are like this, let alone ours?" Zhao Xin pondered Chen Zhou's words repeatedly. So, she proposed to him, hoping to give him a stable promise. Would he be willing to reconcile?
For Zhao Xin, Chen Zhou was special: he was her first love, the white moonlight by her bedside, and the cinnabar mole on her heart.
You ask why I, who loves Chenzhou, still flirt with other women? Sigh, that's what men are like. All those other women are just hotels; only Chenzhou is home.
Zhao Xin had finally won over his moon, so how could he bear to let go so easily?
Even after arriving home, Chen Zhou still felt a lingering resentment; today's farce had truly disgusted him. Perhaps he shouldn't have hastily agreed to Zhao Xin's advances.
Chen Zhou leaned wearily against the sofa, wanting a drink, but even walking to the refrigerator felt exhausting. His phone rang; he took it out and saw a message from Zhou Jingxing.
Silly Dog: Are you asleep?
Silly Dog: Brother (winking mischievously) You're using WeChat all by yourself? (flipping his fingers) (biting his lower lip) Let's chat! (looking at you with his big, watery eyes)
This is insane!
Shen Zhou couldn't help but laugh out loud, and he quickly replied to him.
Chenzhou: Asleep
Silly Dog: ! Aren't you busy today? You replied to me so quickly.
Silly Dog: No, I didn't mean to complain about how slow you were to reply to me before. [Feeling wronged]
...I think that's what you meant. Chen Zhou chuckled, continuing to reply while holding his phone.
Chenzhou: Not busy tonight
Shen Zhou: You're still awake?
Silly Dog: Can I say it's because I miss you? Wouldn't that be a bit too ambiguous?
Sinking Boat: No
Silly dog: Air conditioning is too expensive now.
Sunken Boat: ?
Silly Dog: Thank goodness for my brother's silent treatment; it saves me money on electricity.
...
Shen Zhou opened the voice message, "Stop making jokes, go to sleep early." After sending it successfully, he put down his phone and got up to wash up. Before going to sleep, Shen Zhou saw a voice message from Zhou Jingxing. He opened it, and Zhou Jingxing's voice was magnetic and clear, with a gentle and lingering rising tone at the end, "Goodnight, brother."
Chen Zhou blushed.
He put down his phone and buried his head in the pillow. Ah! That's a bit unfair. He just likes nice voices, that's all!
It took Chen Zhou a long time to lift his head from under the pillow. This wouldn't do. He lay back down and decided to review his experience of getting to know Zhou Jingxing and see where things went wrong.
They first met after a conference at the provincial museum. Zhou Jingxing was rather impulsive. Later, they often ran into each other at glass exhibitions, chatted a few times, and got along quite well. Then, Zhou Jingxing suddenly confessed his feelings to her. At that time, she hadn't broken up with Zhao Xin yet, so naturally, she couldn't accept him.
Later, he stepped forward to help her solve a big problem, and they even went on a hot spring trip together. Her mindset gradually changed, so after returning from the hot spring, she deliberately distanced herself from him.
Chen Zhou rolled over. To be honest, Chen Zhou hadn't been feeling well this week either. It was like getting used to drinking a cup of tea every day, and suddenly that cup of tea was gone.
Chen Zhou yawned. When did her feelings for him change? Was it because he offered to help repair the porcelain and she was grateful? Or was it because the sunlight was so bright on the day of the photo shoot that she couldn't help but let her feelings wander? Or was it because she was blinded by his beautiful [body/groom] during the hot spring trip?
Before drifting off to sleep, Chen Zhou vaguely thought, "But then again, isn't lust at first sight a kind of attraction?"
