Chapter 1: Disbandment

She is going to marry Gu Yuchen.

Wen Zhihan entered the password and opened the door of Gu Yuchen's house.

In the past two days they discussed getting married and getting a marriage certificate, and asked her to come to his house in advance to see if there was anything that needed to be purchased.

She and Gu Yuchen were childhood sweethearts, and Gu Yuchen had always been her secret crush. After two years of dating, they were talking about getting married, and both parents were very happy.

Of course, so did she.

After walking around the huge house, she moved Gu Yuchen's toiletries to the side on the sink. After two days, when he moved in, her things could be placed together with his.

Thinking of this, she smiled at the mirror.

I went back to the living room and poured myself a glass of water. When I turned around, I wasn't paying attention and knocked a mug on the table to the ground, making a crisp cracking sound.

She looked down at the Suzuran white porcelain mug, her face turned pale, and she squatted down anxiously to pick up the fragments. Her fingertips felt a dull pain when she just touched the white porcelain fragments. She raised her hand and saw a cut, which was oozing blood.

She hesitated for a moment, took a photo of the broken porcelain pieces, paused on the send button for a few seconds, and then sent it to Gu Yuchen.

This mug was a gift from Gu Yuchen's girlfriend of four years. Even after they broke up, he still kept the mug. She witnessed the entire process of Gu Yuchen's love and breakup, and of course knew how deeply Gu Yuchen loved his ex.

But now she was about to marry Gu Yuchen, and she didn't think that Gu Yuchen would blame her if she accidentally broke the cup. After all, it had been several years.

In fact, she was a little bothered by the existence of the cup. Perhaps it was God's will to remove all the barriers between them before they got married.

Thinking of this, she was not so nervous anymore.

Gu Yuchen replied to her message: [Wait at my house. ]

She didn't know what Gu Yuchen was feeling when he typed these five words, but she couldn't help but think positively.

Looking at her finger that was still bleeding, she wiped it with paper. It was very painful and the wound was quite deep. If she had known, she would not have been in a hurry to pick it up.

Gu Yuchen came back fifteen minutes later. Seeing the broken mug on the ground, his face was gloomy. "Wen Zhixian, what did you do?"

"I'm sorry, I accidentally knocked it to the ground." She faced Gu Yuchen and her voice softened.

Gu Yuchen's chest heaved, his breathing quickened as he suppressed his anger. He pointed at the debris on the ground and said in a cold tone, "Pick it up."

He was angry, angry with her because of a cup.

Wen Zhixian spread out his palm: "I just scratched it."

If this cup was given by someone else, she would pick it up and glue it back to him, but this was given by his first love, so she couldn't be so generous.

He raised his voice, still as cold as before: "I told you to pick it up, didn't you hear me?"

"I'm sorry, can I give you a new one?" She held Gu Yuchen's hand hanging at his side.

Gu Yuchen shook off her hand and said, "Wen Zhixian, you are not a careless person. You didn't do this on purpose, did you?"

All the bitterness and grievance came up at once: "It's just a cup, why are you angry with me?"

After hearing this, Gu Yuchen couldn't hold back his anger, "A cup? That's easy for you to say, you know this cup..."

He didn't continue: "Pick it up and glue it back to me."

Wen Zhixian stood opposite him, and the blood in his body seemed to run cold when he said this. He had never spoken to her like this before. It turned out that she was not as important as a cup given by his ex...

"Because this is the cup your ex gave you, right?" She questioned, but if you listened carefully, you could hear the trembling in her voice: "We are getting married, are you going to keep her things for the rest of your life? If you liked her so much, why did you stay with me in the first place? What I broke was not the cup but the connection between you and her, so you are angry with me?"

“Pah—”

There was a crisp sound of slapping. Wen Zhixian's head tilted to one side, his messy hair covering the left half of his face. His mind went blank and his ears were buzzing.

Gu Yuchen's body temperature dropped to freezing point, his hands trembled slightly and became numb, and he growled, "Get lost."

Her eyes were red, and a layer of mist appeared in her eyes, blurring her vision. She whispered softly, "Gu Yuchen, am I wrong?"

She left Gu Yuchen's house in a hurry, fearing that she would cry in front of him if she delayed for a second.

Gu Yuchen squatted down and picked up the white porcelain fragments on the ground. He noticed that the hand that slapped Wen Zhihan was still numb. He was upset and threw the fragment to the ground, making the already broken porcelain even more shattered.

Wen Zhihan ran out and twisted her high heels in her hurry. Her palms and knees were scratched and bleeding. She picked up her bag and quickly got up. She just wanted to get home quickly and leave here.

She brushed shoulders with a tall and strong man and left in a hurry.

The man saw the whole scene, looked down at the keys and lipstick left on the ground, and wanted to remind her, but when he turned around, she had already driven away, leaving only the taillights of the car.

Wen Zhihan returned home and stood in front of the door, rummaging through her bag, but there was no sign of the key. She leaned against the door, the left side of her face burning with pain, and tears fell like a broken string.

She tilted her head back for a while before she stopped crying. She planned to go back to look for the key, which might have fallen out of her bag when she fell.

After leaving the community gate, she was suddenly blocked by a man. She didn't even see what the man in front of her looked like. She said in a hoarse voice: "No need for sales."

As he was about to walk away from the person in front of him, the man reached out and said, "This is what you lost on West Road."

There was a key and a lipstick lying in the man's palm.

She then looked up at the man in front of her. He must be over 1.85 meters tall, even taller than Gu Yuchen. He was very handsome and had a cold temperament, and he looked like he had a very high IQ.

The man's eyes also fell on her face, and he was stunned for a moment when he saw her face.

After taking the key, she subconsciously covered her red and swollen face with her hand, lowered her eyes and thanked him: "Thank you, please bring it over."

Then she took out her cell phone and said, "Sir, let me pay for your gas."

"No need, it's just a chance meeting."

He knew it was impolite to look at her like that, so he immediately withdrew his gaze, turned around and left.

-

Wen Zhixian slept at home for two days and his phone was out of contact for two days. On the afternoon of the third day, the doorbell rang.

She lay in bed without any strength, and her face was still in pain. She forced herself to get up from the bed and open the door. When she opened the door, her childhood friend and best friend Qin Zhaoli was standing at the door. He was about to say something to her, but when he saw her so haggard and pale, he frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Qin Zhaoli felt something was wrong and pushed aside her hair that was covering her left cheek. Suddenly, the blood in his body seemed to freeze. He asked seriously, "What happened to your face? Who hit you?"

She didn't say anything, and Qin Zhaoli didn't rush to ask. He made her a bowl of cooked noodles after entering the room.

After she finished eating, he asked again, "Who hit you in the face?"
