123 Choosing to Break Up
Pei Zhi did not expect him to be so stupid.
He lit the cigarette. “Don’t you have a brain to think?”
Lin Jiao secretly pinched him.
A tickling sensation came from his waist. He coughed twice and said, “Ask Yanshen for confirmation.”
Chu Yuzhou called again.
While waiting for the call to be answered, he asked them, “If she didn’t lie to me, what should I do?”
“Beg her to come back to you.”
“Beg again?”
“You’re used to it anyway.” Pei Zhi blew out a puff of smoke, not wanting to discuss this anymore.
He clicked on the photo sent by Qu Shao and showed it to them. “Let’s go to Lujing for two days next Friday.”
“Isn’t your birthday on Saturday?”
“We’ll spend my birthday over there.”
“The environment looks good.” Lin Jiao looked at the photos over and over. “Tell them about it first.”
“Alright.” Pei Zhi opened their WeChat group.
After sending the address, Zhou Yanshen, who had gone to check, called Chu Yuzhou back.
“Xia Nanrui did reject a variety show, but the reason is that she has a conflict with one of the guests.”
“She told me she rejected two.”
“No.” Zhou Yanshen seemed to have just woken up and his voice was still a little hoarse. “As far as I can find, there is only one.”
“What about the fan meeting?”
“I’m not sure.” He yawned. “I think it was canceled because of her schedule.”
Chu Yuzhou was extremely disappointed. “Got it.”
Hearing the dispirited tone in his voice, Zhou Yanshen asked in a low voice, “Did you break up with her?”
“Not yet, but soon.”
“Then talk to her first. If you can’t settle it, tell me.”
“Yes.” Chu Yuzhou took a deep breath.
He picked up Lin Jiao’s phone again and, in a matter of announcement, told Xia Nanrui that they were completely done for.
No matter how she cried or explained, his heart never softened. He even ended the call first.
He deleted her contact information and drank half a cup of coffee in one go before letting out a long sigh.
“She’s calling again.” Lin Jiao looked at the number that popped up on the screen.
“Ignore her.” Chu Yuzhou played with the lighter with a cold expression. “Just block her.”
“Have you ever brought her back?”
“No, she can’t find me here.”
Lin Jiao hung up without hesitation.
She picked up her coffee cup and clinked it with his. After comforting him for a long time, she said, “I’ll introduce you to someone better next time.”
“Do you have anyone suitable around you?”
“Not at the moment.”
“Then I’ll wait.” Chu Yuzhou adjusted his emotions quickly and was not as angry as before.
While Pei Zhi was in the washroom, he leaned over and asked Lin Jiao, “Did you prepare a birthday gift for Brother Pei?”
“Absolutely.”
“What is it?”
“A pair of rings.” Lin Jiao opened the order and showed it to him. “It’s a new arrival.”
“Isn’t this series a wedding ring?”
“Unmarried people can wear it too.”
Chu Yuzhou could not refute that.
He looked away and muttered to himself, “What should I give him then?”
“He doesn’t lack anything.” Lin Jiao checked the logistics and turned off the screen.
Chu Yuzhou, who was still thinking hard, was suddenly struck by an idea.
“I got it!” He let out a laugh. “I know what to give him.”
“What?”
“I’ll show you when I bought it.”
When Pei Zhi returned, Chu Yuzhou was still smiling.
Pei Zhi took the tissue from Lin Jiao and wiped the water off his fingertips. “What are you talking about?”
“I just watched a funny video.”
“Show me?”
“I accidentally swiped it.” Chu Yuzhou was afraid that he would notice something, so he lowered his head and scrolled through the video app.
