"...Everyone and everything around me would help to look for him. If they couldn't find him, then I'd be helpless. I'd hide in my bed and cry, tears streaming down my face, unable to sleep, heartbroken beyond measure. Then, I'd start searching the internet for all sorts of ways to find him. No matter if they worked or not, I'd try them all, even if it meant dying, believing that a blind cat might find a dead mouse. Does this scenario sound familiar? Isn't it exactly like being broken up with?"
"Ji Nianqin, I see you're trying to discourage me by saying others are capable. Let me imagine a scenario for you. Imagine you absolutely hate your pet. You think it's super clingy and annoying, and seeing it every day makes you want to skip home. So, after a busy day, you come home to find your sofa has been chewed to the ground, leaving it completely unrecognizable. There's paper scraps all over the floor, and it's even shaking its head and pouncing on you. How would you feel then?"
"Then I'd be tempted to throw it out on the street right away."
"A normal person's first reaction, but a rational one, would tell you not to just throw it out the door; you'd at least have to be responsible for it. In other words, from that point on, you began to ignore it, remaining unmoved no matter what it did. You knew it would soon be given away, so you gritted your teeth and told yourself to just bear with it, because you didn't have to clean up the mess anymore. You'd imagined it a thousand times in your mind. What would you do then? Ji Nianqin."
"I'm definitely starting to look for different people and preparing to adopt one, maybe packing up the pet's daily necessities and not buying anything related to it anymore."
"That's right. Finally, you found someone willing to adopt it. The moment you gave it away, didn't you feel a sense of relief? You slammed the door shut and slumped on the sofa. Seeing the tidy house, you were tired but smiled happily because your happiness was back. Does this scene sound familiar? Is it the same as when you broke up?"
"Cao Hanhui, the prince and I have often proposed breaking up, and you've taken it all to heart. And you used such a profound metaphor, but I think it's completely inappropriate. After all, people are people, and dogs are dogs. So, fundamentally, I completely disagree with your example."
"Okay, Ji Nianqin, you're right. My analogy was inappropriate, but let's get back to the point. The experience of clinging to someone after a breakup is like that of a pug that keeps shaking its head and even pounces on its owner for a kiss after they've already given it away. It's annoying. Therefore, clinging to someone is absolutely useless. Just act it out."
"It's useless. What's the point of pretending? Cao Hanhui, you deliberately made me embarrass myself in front of so many people, didn't you?"
"Ji Nianqin, that's not the case. Let's go back to the scene of abandoning the pet just now. When will you be curious about that pet again? Let's say 10 years later, the unwanted pet learns from the adoptive people that it is super cute and has changed a lot. For example, it used to be clingy, but now it no longer scratches your thighs with its claws as soon as you come home. It used to be a housebreaker, tearing up the sofa at the sight of it, but now it's as well-behaved as a toy pet."
"Cao Hanhui, after hearing what you said, I seem to understand a little bit. I have to improve myself after breaking up so that the other party will regret it."
