When Mu Wan saw Chen Cixiu, she quickened her pace. Chen Cixiu hadn't seen her for four years and didn't know which university she was in or what her major was.
When they met again, his eyes were filled with unfamiliarity.
Mu Wan is a year younger than him. When she heard his best friends call him "brother" in high school, she simply started calling him "Brother Cixiu" too.
Although Mu Wan's looks couldn't compare to Qin Xue's, she was still the most beautiful girl in her class in high school, and quite a few people pursued her. However, because they were deskmates, her best friends called her "sister-in-law." Since Qin Xue intentionally or unintentionally pulled him to her side as a shield, he simply went along with his brothers' wishes and used Mu Wan to help him dispel Qin Xue's thoughts.
Before graduation, he broke up with Mu Wan, and the two never saw each other again.
"Brother Cixiu, you knew I was coming back today, so you came to pick me up, right?" Mu Wan looks like she's grown up now, but the powder on her face isn't applied evenly enough, and there are some spots where the powder is caked up.
Gu Qianqian nudged Jiang Yu with her shoulder, saying, "Your husband is about to have a new girlfriend." Her expression, as if she didn't care about missing out on the fun, betrayed her.
Jiang Yu gently clenched his fist. The girl looked to be about his age. Well, who would like someone older?
A jealous expression appeared on her face.
Gu Qianqian and Lin Xiaoxiao had never seen so many expressions on Jiang Yu's face before. They quietly muted their phones and then pressed the shutter button.
Jiang Yu was completely unaware that her expression had been captured in dozens of photos; she was simply staring intently at Chen Cixiu.
Upon hearing Mu Wan's words, Chen Cixiu immediately looked at Jiang Yu and noticed that Jiang Yu's expression was a bit off. Then, seeing the two lively characters taking pictures on the side, he raised an eyebrow and thought, "Jealous?"
This is a good sign; he was worried that progress was a bit slow.
"no."
He answered Mu Wan crisply, then called out to Jiang Yu, "Wife, can we go now? It's getting late."
This shout caught Gu Qianqian, who was originally planning to watch the real man catch the mistress in the act, off guard. Lin Xiaoxiao turned to look at Chen Cixiu in shock, wondering how he could say such heartless words in front of such a beautiful girl. Xu Shaoan, who was about to stand up for Jiang Yu, suddenly stopped after taking a few steps forward.
Jiang Yu, whose sky was already overcast, suddenly glimpsed a rainbow.
Gu Qianqian was the quickest to recover. She first noticed Jiang Yu's secret smile, which was her happiest sign. At the same time, she also noticed that Mu Wan's nose, which was originally covered in powder, had lost some of its powder. What a cheap cosmetic!
However, she immediately looked at Chen Cixiu. She never expected that Chen Cixiu would actually call her "wife." Gu Qianqian thought to herself, "If this guy were a scumbag, he could easily get his hands on someone."
He's very good at telling if someone is angry.
This kind of man is a bit scary.
If this were her husband, there would be endless scheming and infighting. But he is Jiang Yu's husband. Her sister is only good at her career, but she is a complete novice when it comes to love.
Chen Cixiu is going to have this figured out.
Mu Wan also came to her senses. She looked at Chen Cixiu and smiled a little awkwardly, "Brother Cixiu, didn't you just graduate?"
"Oh, you mean this? I just graduated and turned twenty-two, so I got my marriage certificate with my wife. Come, let me introduce you to my wife." Chen Cixiu walked towards them and asked Gu Qianqian's opinion: "Can I have my wife back now?"
"Please go ahead."
Gu Qianqian shrugged.
Chen Cixiu led Jiang Yu by the hand to Mu Wan and introduced her: "This is my wife, Jiang Yu. This is my high school classmate and childhood sweetheart."
Early romantic partner.
It wasn't my first love, it was puppy love.
Gu Qianqian overheard this too, and she whispered to Lin Xiaoxiao, "Have you really found out? Is Chen Cixiu really not a scumbag?"
"The investigation is very thorough; he maintained a clean and upright character throughout his four years of university."
Lin Xiaoxiao replied to her in a very soft voice.
"Then he's a bit scary." Gu Qianqian sighed, "Jiang Yu is going to fall for him."
Mu Wan was clearly surprised by Chen Cixiu's introduction of her. She knew very well that the reason she was with Chen Cixiu was entirely because of Qin Xue, and she was not Chen Cixiu's ideal woman.
Now, there's even less of a chance.
"In that case, shall we go out for dinner together?" Jiang Yu asked Mu Wan generously.
Mu Wan was in no mood for food at the moment, so she could only say goodbye: "No, I have something to do, I'll be going now."
She brushed past Chen Cixiu, tears streaming down her face.
"Tsk, the green tea flavor is a bit too strong." Lin Xiaoxiao commented after Chen Cixiu saw the tears Mu Wan forced out.
"Honey, shall we go?"
But Chen Cixiu acted as if he hadn't seen it.
For Chen Cixiu, a qualified ex should be no different from a dead person.
Some people like to show concern for others from time to time after a breakup to appear affectionate, but they don't realize that doing so not only bothers others but also makes them fall deeper into the relationship.
It's better to break up in time and see those good buddies who, after breaking up, indulge themselves, go to foot massage parlors, and chase after new girls for a month or two. They're happier that way.
Treat your ex as if they're dead.
Even a childhood sweetheart is not allowed, not even a "white moonlight" (idealized romantic partner).
Think about it, if a woman has been in your heart for so many years, isn't that just asking for trouble?
She'd rather go back to her gambling father, sick mother, and younger brother who's still in school.
Therefore, Chen Cixiu firmly believes in a principle: after a breakup, let them go wherever they want and not linger in front of you.
