Chapter 44
Realizing what was happening belatedly, I couldn't help but gape in astonishment. Could there be anything more absurd than this in the world?
Fang Xu was caught up in a sense of fate. The person who had been walking along just fine suddenly turned around and looked back, as if saying something. Bei Hai, whom he had only known for a short time, also turned around and looked at the car, and even made a move to walk over.
That's not surprising. The man probably asked the person who brought him back, and then saw the car suspiciously parked at the door, looking like it was there for something. In this deep of night, it couldn't possibly be that they stopped to admire the moon.
Moreover, parking is prohibited in that area, and the other person was kindly helping him by reminding him not to get a ticket, which was also out of gratitude.
Suddenly, the car turned on its high beams, then accelerated and scraped against a tree by the door. As if by magic, it made a sharp turn and sped away, leaving Beihai standing there dumbfounded and full of questions.
While driving, I encountered a massive traffic jam.
Stuck in the middle of traffic, the drivers behind me kept honking their horns, as if that would make us move faster.
Fang Xu, having reached his limit and already in a bad mood, would not be surprised if he transformed into a fire-breathing tyrannosaurus. He slammed open the car door and got out with a gloomy expression.
Perhaps because he looked intimidating, the driver behind him immediately locked his windows, his face filled with terror, and remained as quiet as a chicken. This left him with nowhere to vent his anger; he couldn't bring himself to do something as tasteless as kicking a tire, so he could only glare at him with murderous intent.
Back in the car, I couldn't help but think of the scene of our reunion, and for a moment I felt like I was having a run of bad luck and everything was going wrong.
As for why I ran, I don't know, I just did it instinctively.
Thinking about it now fills me with indignation. What does it mean to say, "Having seen the ocean, other waters are nothing"? What does it mean to say, "Having seen the clouds of Wushan, other clouds are nothing"? Baidu's interpretation is that it means there's someone you can't forget! It means that from now on, you'll never see them again, and a deep regret will reach the ends of the earth!
Although he couldn't bring himself to say that the person Nanfei couldn't forget was him, it's clear that the other person is no longer single to death and indifferent to desires; on the contrary, she has a new boyfriend.
What? Is true love now available in bulk everywhere?
They talk such sweet words, but they just turn around and hug someone else and act all high and mighty. All that talk about deep affection that makes people feel sour is just for show!
Finding it so easily, and seemingly quite certain, is far too hasty!
Fang Xu had a million exclamation marks in his mind that he didn't express. He criticized the other party eight hundred times in his mind, mocking him from head to toe. In the end, strangely, he leaned against the steering wheel dejectedly, pausing slowly like a chicken pecking at rice.
He knew perfectly well that even if he got so angry that he bit the steering wheel off, it would be a completely useless fit of madness, and it would be laughable if word got out. He felt a sense of regret for not having done it in the first place.
But to blame everything on him would be a bit too heartless.
They didn't give him any chance at all, breaking up with him as decisively as cutting a watermelon. There was no room for him to reconsider or regret it. It was like burning down the house, leaving no room for regret. This drove him to the brink of rage, leaving him with no choice but to save face to defend himself.
I would never say sorry, even if it meant death. Wouldn't trying to win them back hurt my pride? At most, I could accept that they pitifully come back begging for reconciliation, and getting back together wouldn't be impossible.
But it's impossible even for a fool to think about it. That kind of older man wouldn't be persistent or clingy, regardless of the situation.
And ultimately, the law states that you can't break up if you're not together.
Therefore, having witnessed the comings and goings of people in the circle, and the chaotic and fragile relationships, it is normal for him to be unable to adapt for a while. Moreover, he is more open-minded than anyone else and will not be discouraged by it. He has always been able to move freely.
To be honest, that man wasn't any good either; he was cold and stubborn. Maybe Beihai is already feeling suffocated by his control and starting to regret it. He keeps focusing on an ex from five years ago, an older man who dumped him.
As Fang Xu pondered this, his face turned ashen. He cursed himself for being foolish and said it was time to let that damned competitive spirit go to hell.
Since they are no longer related, the important thing is to start living a carefree and exciting life. He, Fang Xu, could never bring himself to indulge in that girlish mentality.
After the traffic cleared up, Fang Xu simply drove to Jing Yao's place and generously bought out all the drinks for the entire event. Amidst the praise and friendly teasing from others, he drank one glass after another without batting an eye.
When he was finally left alone in the bar, Jingyao stood by coldly while clearing the table, not offering him any help whatsoever.
A moment later, the man who had been lying face down on the bar slowly stretched, yawned, and the dragon-patterned bracelet on his wrist swayed.
Sure enough, this guy has an exceptionally high alcohol tolerance; it's impossible for him to be completely drunk.
He sat there blankly for a while, his nose red. If he had imaginary long ears, they would surely droop down in dejection, and he twirled the glass like a child.
This expression, even though you know he's inherently despicable and an absolute playboy, can still make your heart tremble, and you might just find yourself dizzy and falling for him.
But Jingyao was clearly immune to his good looks, and she raised her voice rudely: "We're closed, hurry up and go home, there are no rooms for you to stay here."
"Isn't there a sofa?"
"My dog wants to sleep there."
"Oh, then I'll live in the doghouse, I won't go home."
He was sprawled out on the bar, clinging to it and refusing to let go, looking as if he could be scolded and beaten at will, and that he was being treated harshly.
Jingyao's forehead veins were about to burst: "I think you've eaten too many mushrooms and gotten poisoned. What are you pretending to be so affectionate for! Why did you have to wait so long to reflect on this? You stupid ox, you only have these weird thoughts because your ex is doing better than you. I think you should find a boyfriend as soon as possible, and then everything will be fine."
Fang Xu slammed his fist on the table: "What do you mean by being happier than me? I can't stand those kinds of days for even a second longer."
Jingyao took a deep breath and poked Fang Xu's forehead with her steel-like fingers without any politeness: "Idiot, you'd better live a wild life, otherwise you'll regret it and it will be disrespectful to your ex."
Fang Xu: "..."
It would be more satisfying to fight a man-eating shark in the sea than to seek comfort from this woman.
Although he hesitated to speak in the end, he told him in a harsh tone not to get in his way and to go to his room to sleep.
After taking a shower feeling depressed, I resolved to look forward and absolutely not let my strange competitive spirit get to me anymore.
But as soon as I saw that my WeChat friend request had been accepted, I excitedly lay down on the bed and opened my Moments. Before I could control my fingers, my reason told me that I should delete it right now. But another little voice in my head looked pitiful. What's the harm in just glancing at it? Even if it's an ex, they're still someone I know well. Why be so heartless?
Yes.
Just a glance.
Author's Note:
I think the extra chapters will probably end around chapter seven.
