Breaking Up Was a Choice I Planned All Along - Chapter 2
“Pianpian, Ah Nan and I really have nothing going on. Please don’t be mad at him. This situation makes me feel so guilty.”
The message wasn’t signed, but I didn’t need to think twice to know who sent it.
Calling someone else’s boyfriend “Ah Nan” so sweetly while tearfully telling me she didn’t mean to?
From high school to college, the same old green tea1 drama.
Tsk.
On the first day after the breakup, I received a text from my ex-boyfriend’s new flame.
What could I do? Of course, I blocked her.
As noon approached, Yuanyuan, my bunkmate, cautiously leaned over to my bedside. “Pianpian, do you want to go to the Third Cafeteria with me for lunch? They’re serving Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs today!”
Looking at her worried expression, I patted my stomach, which hadn’t seen food since last night, and sprang up like a carp. “Let’s go!”
Breakup or not, life goes on.
