Love Overwhelms

 I worked on revising the plan for Lan Jingxue until two o'clock in the morning.

She called and said she was drunk.

I rushed to the party despite the dizziness and palpitations.

Lan Jingxue is playing the cherry stem knot kissing game with her male secretary.

I was so sad that I vomited continuously and almost went into shock, but the woman was still hugging the male secretary, clinging to him and unwilling to let go.

On the way home, I had a car accident.

As soon as I was put on the stretcher, Lan Jingxue pulled me down with a cold face:

"You have thick skin and flesh, don't waste medical resources."

After saying that, she helped the unharmed male secretary onto the stretcher.

When they arrived at the hospital, everyone escorted the male secretary to the emergency room.

Only I walked quietly to the dermatology consultation desk:

"Hello, please arrange a skin cutting surgery for me."

"I don't want a tattoo of a woman on my chest."

The next second after changing into surgical gown, Lan Jingxue pushed the door open angrily.

She threw a necklace made of red rope at my face:

"Yang Yuan, who allowed you to stuff this kind of boring stuff on me?"

Lan Jingxue has a superior appearance but doesn't like to dress up.

Even the diamond ring that I spent half a year's salary on was sneered at by her and thrown into the water.

Picking up the cheap necklace on my body, I said calmly:

"It wasn't sent by me."

Hearing this, the woman immediately snatched the necklace back and couldn't wait to put it around her neck.

I know that the necklace was given by Ji Shijie.

What I want is to be with Lan Jingxue for the rest of my life.

Thinking of this, I walked up to the woman.

Under her contemptuous and wary gaze, he tied the loose necklace tightly into a knot for her.

The overly cold fingertips made Lan Jingxue slightly dazed.

She asked me why I was wearing a hospital gown?

I answered calmly:

"I'm going to have a minor surgery later."

Lan Jingxue frowned and was about to scold me for pretending to be sick and addicted.

The next second I saw the nurse come in to draw blood for me.

The woman opened her mouth and was about to ask the nurse what was wrong when her cell phone rang at the right time.

It was a video call from Ji Shijie.

He complained pitifully that he was so lonely without his sister.

Hearing this, the woman didn't even look at me, and walked out in a hurry in her high heels.

The nurse was bumped by her, causing the needle to go off course and blood to flow out.

Hearing my groan of pain, the woman did not turn back.

At this time, the doctor came in with the consent form for surgery.

Ignoring all the risk warnings, I signed my name without blinking.

Half an hour later, the operation was successful.

As soon as I got off the operating table, I received a message from Lan Jingxue:

[Wait for me at the hospital entrance]

It was snowing heavily outside. I, dressed thinly, sat on a plastic stool and waited for two full hours.

None of the women showed up.

Two doctors passed by me and laughed as they chatted about what they saw in the emergency room:

"I've been working for so many years, but I've never seen a beautiful woman who listens to men so well."

"That's right. Not only did they coax her into doing the checkup, but they only found a small scratch on the man's leg, and the woman was immediately transferred to a hospital by helicopter."

After hearing this, I opened the chat dialog box and found that Lan Jingxue had changed her avatar.

Cartoon bunny police officer wearing sunglasses.

It's a perfect match with Ji Shijie's Nick Fox.

Exit WeChat and open the ticket purchasing app.

Due to weather conditions, my quickest flight home was two days later.

Place the order, pay, and confirm the ticket.

I walked out of the hospital and went home alone.

At three o'clock in the morning, Lan Jingxue, who had had enough fun, opened the bedroom door and lay down next to me.

In the darkness, the woman reached out her hand and habitually wanted to touch her portrait tattooed on my chest.

But I endured the pain, turned over, and left my back to her.

Lan Jingxue snorted impatiently, stood up and walked into the bathroom, slamming the door.

We have been in love for nine years, but she has never shown any unhappiness.

I would be extremely anxious and chase after her, asking for peace.

However, tonight, after taking a shower, the woman found that I was still lying on the bed, motionless.

"An old man pretending to be something."

After saying this, Lan Jingxue left the master bedroom with a cold face and never came back.

The next morning, I saw two obviously used red wine glasses on the coffee table in the living room.

I didn't wake up Lan Jingxue and ask her hysterical questions like I did before.

I finished frying the omelette and just sat down at the table when I heard Lan Jingxue, who had just woken up, say:

"Don't wait for me for dinner today, there's a dinner party at the company."

The woman opened the refrigerator and drank two gulps of ice water.

Suddenly I felt strange that I neither complained to her that ice water was bad for her stomach, nor did I ask who was at the dinner party.

Through the kitchen glass, Lan Jingxue looked at me with a frown:

"Yang Yuan, are you listening to me?"

After swallowing the food in my mouth, I hummed and continued eating.

Seeing this, the woman threw me the jacket with the unpleasant smell of cologne.

"It's a birthday present for you."

As the woman stared at me, I fished out a gift box from my coat pocket.

I opened the box and found a pair of diamond rings inside.

Before I could say anything, Lan Jingxue snatched the ring back with a sullen face.

She rolled her eyes and said to me:

"You are such a loser. You can even take the wrong thing. The one for you is on the other side."

The other pocket holds the emerald watch.

I just took a look at it and pushed it back to her.

Then he said politely:

“The watch is nice, but unfortunately I don’t have any clothes to match it.

Besides, my birthday has been three months in the past, so you should give it to Ji Shijie as well."

I was speechless for a while.

Lan Jingxue reluctantly said:

"There will be a jewelry auction in a few days. You can go with me."

This was the first time a woman asked me to be her male companion.

Over the past six months, Ji Shijie has been accompanying her to various gatherings.

Even when they were on a yacht vacation together as childhood friends, the two of them appeared hand in hand in the group photo.

Thinking back to this, I feel it is completely boring.

"No, I don't need anything."

"Are you sure?"

I nodded firmly:

"It would be best if Ji Shijie could accompany you."

My sincere words were met with a sudden black face from the woman:

"Yang Yuan, go to the bathroom and look in the mirror right now.

Take a good look at how ridiculous your jealous face is. "

If a woman said this in the past, I would have a big fight with her.

But right now, I'm too lazy to argue a word.

Just as I was about to get up and go back to my room, Lan Jingxue's cell phone rang.

It is Ji Shijie’s exclusive ringtone.

The young man laughed into the subwoofer and said he forgot to bring his keys when he went out to throw away the trash.

What should I do, Sister Jingxue?

"You big idiot, stay where you are and don't run around. I'll come over and give you the key now."

After hanging up the phone, the woman walked out.

But I called out to her.

"The men's scarf you asked me to knit last week is already finished and hanging on the hanger. Don't forget to bring it to him."

Lan Jingxue's face changed slightly.

His mouth moved, as if he was about to say something.

However, Ji Shijie sent another voice message.

Imitate a male cat's meowing and ask its owner to buy him a condom when he comes.

To this end, the woman emptied a shopping bag beside the entrance, put her scarf in it, and left with a smile on her face.

After taking a look at the hometown specialties sent by the woman's parents that were thrown on the ground, I stood up and walked into the study.

Ignore the photo of Lan Jingxue and Ji Shijie on the mahogany table.

I reached for the safe with a clear purpose.

I tried Lan Jingxue or my birthday, but it didn’t work.

I tried our anniversary again, but it still didn’t work.

Until Ji Shijie's birthday is entered.

The lock finally opened.

When I pulled my ID out, two movie tickets were brought out.

It’s the movie ticket stub that Lan Jingxue and I watched on our first date.

Tear up the memories and throw them into the trash can.

I returned to my bedroom and started packing my belongings.

In the evening, Lan Jingxue called me and asked me to ask someone to run errands and deliver a document for her.

It was windy and snowy outside, and I went out on my own with a low fever.

When I opened the door of the restaurant, I happened to run into Lan Jingxue and Ji Shijie drinking from the wedding cup.

Because of my appearance, the booing in the store suddenly stopped.

Lan Jingxue glanced at me with a disappointed look on her face.

Others looked at me with amusement, waiting for me to get angry.

But to everyone's surprise, I was not angry.

Handing the document to the woman, I just said:

"Please give me the car keys. Something was left in your car."

Hearing this, Ji Shijie took out the Porsche key from his bag and gave me a provocative smile:

"I'm sorry, brother-in-law, because I love to sleep in so much that I'm always late for work.

So Sister Jingxue simply gave me the car to drive."

"What brother-in-law? Don't call me that, you idiot."

Lan Jingxue's face was flushed as she wiped the wine-stained corners of Ji Shijie's mouth.

I followed the woman's words and said:

"Boss Lan and I are not married, Secretary Ji, please don't misunderstand."

After saying that, I picked up the key and turned to leave, but Lan Jingxue suddenly stopped me and said with a strange look on her face:

"Yang Yuan, you used to hate me drinking, why didn't you say a word today..."

I was about to respond when Ji Shijie suddenly hugged Lan Jingxue, rubbing her and shaking her:

"Sister Jingxue, Brother Yang Yuan is not going to look for that old jade bracelet in the car, right?

Um...but I accidentally broke the bracelet and threw it away, what should I do?"

The jade bracelet that Ji Shijie mentioned is a relic that my grandmother left to my future wife.

I heard Lan Jingxue comforting Ji Shijie softly, saying that it was just a cheap bracelet, and if it was lost, it was lost, so there was no need to take it to heart.

I put down the car keys and looked at Ji Shijie without any joy or sadness:

"She's right. It's just a cheap smuggled piece of jewelry that she's been wearing for nine years. Since you broke it, I'll give it to you as a gift."

When I walked out of the restaurant and was about to take a taxi, the woman caught up with me.

Touching my burning forehead, the woman said with a condescending tone:

"As soon as I heard you speak, I knew you were sick. Come on, I'll take you to the hospital for an injection."

I pulled her hand away:

"Don't bother. If your new lover finds out, you'll have to work hard to comfort her."

Lan Jingxue's face suddenly turned cold and she was about to scold me and say that I was talking nonsense.

But when she saw Ji Shijie standing at the door of the restaurant, she immediately turned back and let him hold her hand and blow his breath on her to warm her.

Watching them return to the restaurant, I smiled sarcastically, bought some cold medicine, and went home.

That night, the woman did not come back all night.

And I didn't even call her.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, I had just put on my coat when Lan Jingxue, who had suddenly returned home, took me into the car.

Inside the Ji family compound, Lan Jingxue pulled me in front of her parents:

"Mom and Dad, this is Yang Yuan."

After many years of love, Lan Jingxue finally took me to meet her parents.

But my reaction disappointed her greatly.

"Uncle and aunt, I have something urgent to do. Please excuse me for leaving first."

As soon as I finished speaking, Lan Jingxue pinched my lower back and exerted force secretly.

"Mom and Dad, he was just joking with you. You guys prepare dinner, I'll take him to get familiar with the environment first."

I was forcibly dragged to the top floor bedroom by a woman and started the so-called tour.

My frequent checking of the time on my phone soon caused dissatisfaction among women:

"Yang Yuan, you always wanted to see the room where I grew up, but now that you've seen it, you've become speechless?"

"Hmm? Pretty good."

My irrelevant answer made Lan Jingxue frown.

"You've been looking at your phone. Are you flirting with some seductress?"

"No."

Even as I said this, the woman's face remained tense.

She grabbed my phone and pointed it at her face.

The screen keeps showing Unlock Failed.

Lan Jingxue gritted her teeth and asked me what was going on.

I was about to speak when a sudden crisp sound came from outside the window sill behind me.

The sound was like a secret signal. Lan Jingxue left me without saying a word and disappeared immediately.

Ten minutes later, following a series of bell-like giggles, I saw Lan Jingxue with flowers on her head in the back garden of the old house.

Ji Shijie was carefully supporting her as they played a childish game of tiptoeing across a single-plank bridge.

"Ji Shijie, you must hold on steady... Ah Shijie, help me!"

While playing, Lan Jingxue slipped, and fell into the young man's chest with her little face flushed.

The two were stunned at first, and then smiled at each other in tacit understanding.

The shyness in Lan Jingxue's eyes disappeared after she saw me.

"Eh? Brother Yang Yuan, why are you here?"

Ji Shijie looked at me in shock, blinked twice, then grabbed the woman's hand, clasped her fingers tightly and said:

"Oh, I see. Sister Jingxue, you are finally willing to bring your ugly son-in-law home to meet my parents."

"Congratulations, Brother Yang Yuan."

Although he said the blessing, the young man's tone was tinged with hoarse tears, which made Lan Jingxue purse her lips and feel distressed:

"It's just a meal, there's nothing to congratulate, you big dumb fool."

After comforting Ji Shijie, the woman looked at me with an extremely cold look:

"Is dinner ready?"

Before I could say anything, dozens of long snakes suddenly fell from the treetops above my head, coming from nowhere.

Being afraid of snakes since childhood, I was so scared that I stood there in a daze, watching Lan Jingxue pulling Ji Shijie away in a hurry.

The woman only remembered me when the forestry workers came to catch the snake.

She went back to the tree and looked around, but was finally told by the security guard at the gate that I had already left.

Late night airport terminal.

While I was waiting to board the plane, my phone kept vibrating.

I didn't press the answer button until the last minute before takeoff.

As soon as the call was connected, Lan Jingxue hurriedly asked me where I was.

Apparently she had returned home and found it empty.

I didn't answer her directly, I just said:

"It's none of your business."

She was stunned for a moment, and said with a hint of anger:

"What's with your tone, Yang Yuan? If you keep doing this, I'll be really angry.

Give me the address, I will go pick it up now..."

Before the woman finished speaking, she heard the sticky sound of being kissed on the cheek from the other end of the phone.

And Ji Shijie's triumphant laughter.

Lan Jingxue cleared her throat.

Then she changed the subject and said with a gasp:

"Well, there's something urgent going on at the company, so you should take a taxi back by yourself."

After that, she added anxiously:

"Send me a message when you get home."

After the woman hung up the phone.

I opened the chat dialog box and sent her a message as she wished:

[Lan Jingxue, I'm really fed up with you, let's break up.

I sincerely wish you and Ji Shijie a happy and long-lasting life. 】

When the message showed that I had read it, I blocked all the woman's contact information and turned off my phone...

"Uncle, here, here."

As soon as I got off the plane, I saw my little nephew waving his hands hard in the crowd.

I picked up my niece with a smile and said to my eldest brother:

"It's the middle of the night. I told you I don't need you to pick me up at the airport."

"You think I want to come? It's your nephew who keeps asking to see you."

The always calm elder brother patted my shoulder and said with great joy:

"We agreed that we won't leave this time when we come back."

"Yes, I won't leave no matter what."

I sniffed my sore nose, held my little nephew in my arms, got into my eldest brother's car, and the three of us drove home chatting and laughing.

Even though it was already four in the morning, my parents were still waiting in the living room.

Only after they made sure that my older brother and I had returned home safely and had drunk our favorite honey iced tea when we were kids, did they happily go back to their rooms and sleep.

After washing up and lying on the bed for a few minutes, I, who suffers from difficulty falling asleep, fell asleep quickly and deeply.

No pain, no more confusion.

Because I'm finally back to my real home.

On the third day after I returned home, my parents booked a private room in a restaurant and notified all the relatives to welcome me.

Just as my welcoming party was in full swing, filled with laughter and joy, a courier came to the door and introduced my name.

My little nephew, who often picks up takeout for his parents, trotted over, holding the delivery box, and bounced back to me.

He, who already knew how to read, said in a baby voice:

"Uncle, this is from a girl named Miss Lan..."

After thinking for a while, I finally opened the express box.

There was a new cell phone inside.

Just when I was puzzled, the phone rang out of the blue.

Faced with the concerned looks from my family, I instinctively picked up my phone and went to a quieter corner.

After hesitating for a while, he pressed the answer button.

Lan Jingxue's voice was as cold as ever:

"Yang Yuan, why didn't you tell your parents when you returned home?"

I asked her back:

"Who the hell are you? Why should I tell you?"

After a moment of silence, the woman deliberately slowed down her tone and said:

"I changed several numbers to contact you, but your phone was always turned off... Do you know how worried I was about you these days?"

I specifically set my phone to not answer calls from unknown numbers, so I blinked:

"Just because of this, you didn't hesitate to use illegal means to find me, and even sent me a broken phone in front of my family?"

I couldn't help but ask her:

"Lan Jingxue, are you fucking mentally ill?"

After years of dating, the woman has never been criticized or insulted by me.

Even through the phone, I could imagine how ugly her face had become.

But even so, Miss Lan did not hang up the phone.

"Yang Yuan, you know my character. My patience is limited. You'd better quit while you're ahead..."

Interrupting the woman's nonsense, I asked her impatiently what she wanted to say.

Taking a deep breath, Lan Jingxue said softly:

“I always have nightmares without you to sleep with me.

So I have bought you a ticket back to the city next week, and Ji Shijie and I will pick you up at the airport."

Hearing this, I sneered:

"If you have a nightmare, let your pretty boy hold you to sleep. Since you like him so much, I guarantee you will have a good night's sleep."

There was a sound of something breaking on the ground from Lan Jingxue's side:

"Yang Yuan! How dare you play such a cheap joke on me!"

Lowering my eyes, I pulled the corners of my mouth and said:

“I’m not kidding you.

Also, I really want to break up with you..."

Before I could finish my words, the woman sneered and said:

"What do you mean by sincere breakup? Aren't you just trying to force me to admit my mistake?

OK, I was wrong.

My mistake was that I shouldn't have let you take a taxi home by yourself just because something happened at the company.

Mr. Yang, you are so sensitive and conceited. I apologize to you in person. Are you satisfied?"

Facing the woman's sarcasm, I just replied calmly:

“I don’t need your apology.

You just have to understand one thing, we are done."

After saying that, I hung up the phone, pulled out the SIM card, and threw the phone and the SIM card into the trash can.

It was already 11 o'clock in the evening when we finished the welcoming banquet.

A high school buddy whom I hadn’t seen in years sent me a message asking me out for a late-night drink.

So I immediately went home, changed into a simple white T-shirt, and happily went to the appointment.

The bar is clear at 1:30 in the morning.

When I raised my third martini and was about to clink glasses with my buddy and the female friend he called over, someone snatched my drink from behind with anger.

I looked back reflexively and saw Lan Jingxue's extremely feminine little face.

Before I had a chance to ask her why she was here.

The woman ripped my clothes fiercely and pulled me up from my seat with all her strength:

"Who allowed you to drink with another woman? How dare you...!"

The woman stopped speaking her accusatory words abruptly.

He stared at my exposed neckline for a long time with dull eyes.

Lan Jingxue's gaze finally turned from bottom to top and looked deeply into my eyes:

"Yang Yuan, where's your tattoo?"

Seeing that I remained silent, Lan Jingxue clenched her fists so tightly that her red nails pierced deeply into her palms.

Her eyes were red, and she asked me again without giving up:

"I asked you where is the portrait of me that you tattooed on your chest?"

I looked at him calmly:

"Cut it off."

These two simple words were like thousand-year-old ice, instantly freezing the woman's limbs and bones.

She was pale as she staggered back several steps, muttering to herself:

"Impossible, how is this possible..."

Looking at Lan Jingxue's distraught and dazed look.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

Women are born to act.

Eight months ago, when I accidentally discovered that a woman was pregnant, I immediately took out all my savings to buy a ring, knelt in front of Lan Jingxue, and proposed to her sincerely.

My sincere and anxious words were met with a long silence from the woman.

And the words that I will never forget:

"Yang Yuan, I'm not sure if the child is yours, and I'm a DINK. I've already aborted the child."

Inside the jazz bar, seeing me pulling my buddies to leave, Lan Jingxue held me tightly with unsteady steps and refused to let me go no matter what.

Her eyes were horribly red:

"Yang Yuan, I need the truth about the tattoo, otherwise I will never let you go in this life."

Five minutes later, in a pink car parked in a corner of the underground parking lot.

The woman leaned forward and tried to fasten the seat belt for me who was sitting in the passenger seat.

I pushed her away impatiently:

"If you want to know anything, just ask here. There's no need to go somewhere else and waste my time."

The woman was stunned for a moment, and a look of obvious hurt flashed across her eyes.

Taking back her sentimental hand, she asked me coldly why I wanted to cut off the tattoo that belonged to her.

I asked back with a half-smile:

"What do you think?"

After thinking for a moment, Lan Jingxue looked at me with regret in her eyes:

"Yang Yuan, you are always like this, so chauvinistic that you never consult me ​​before doing anything, and so willful that it makes me sick."

After hearing this, I became even more certain that my decision to cut off the tattoo was absolutely correct.

I looked at the woman expressionlessly and said indifferently:

"You were there when I had the surgery."

Lan Jingxue frowned fiercely and laughed in anger:

"Yang Yuan, do you think I would be stupid enough to believe such a ridiculous lie and then break up with you as you wish?"

Too lazy to talk nonsense, I directly opened my phone, found the electronic bill for the surgery at the hospital, and placed it clearly in front of the woman.

After seeing the content on the phone clearly, Lan Jingxue's face turned visibly from blue to white, and then to gray.

She asked me:

"Why on earth would you do that?"

I said indifferently: "I'm tired of it."

Hearing this, the woman smiled miserably, her smile was uglier than crying:

"We have been together for nine years and were planning to get married next year...

Yang Yuan, you're telling me you're fed up now?

Do you even know what you are talking about?"

Half a month ago, I had the same question about Lan Jingxue.

It was a rainy day with thunder and lightning.

Lan Jingxue accidentally soiled her dress at the dinner party and called me to ask me to send her a new one immediately.

When I arrived at the door of the hotel room in a mess, I just heard her and Ji Shijie laughing and playing from the bathroom.

Ji Shijie first chuckled and blamed Lan Jingxue for having too much desire, which made him feel exhausted.

Then she said with a smile that if I caught them entangled like this, I, who loved her so deeply, would be so heartbroken that I would die on the spot, and that would be a bad ending.

Lan Jingxue sneered and said indifferently:

"If a good-for-nothing man like Yang Yuan dies, then he dies. What's the big deal?"

Recalling this, I looked at the woman speechlessly:

"Don't you understand what people are saying, Lan Jingxue?

What I mean is, I've had enough of you.

If you eat a dish of rotten food for nine years, anyone would want to vomit. "

"You're lying!"

Lan Jingxue slammed the steering wheel hard, her chest heaving as she sneered at me:

“Everyone knows I’m the only woman you’ve ever been with.

You once told me that your biggest dream in life was to marry me."

I tilted my head slightly:

“You also said it was once.”

Hearing this, Lan Jingxue's face turned pale and she gritted her teeth, speechless.

The reason for being speechless was not because of what I said.

It was because the tone I used when I spoke to her was too nonchalant and nonchalant.

A strong sense of uneasiness silently coiled around her heart like a poisonous snake.

Trying hard to ignore the fear in my heart, the woman narrowed her beautiful eyes and said to me:

"Yang Yuan, considering that you have licked me for so many years, as long as you accompany me back now, I can forgive your mistake this time and continue to move forward with our wedding schedule."

I looked at him blankly: "What wedding schedule?"

Lan Jingxue's beautiful face condenses:

"Stop pretending, Yang Yuan. You keep causing trouble for Ji Shijie behind his back and go to so much trouble to create so many problems. In the final analysis, aren't you just trying to force me to marry you as soon as possible?"

I was really amused by this stupid woman:

“You really misunderstood, Miss Ji.

There's no way I'm going to marry you.

I am not a rag collector and I don’t marry second-hand goods.”

"What did you say?"

"It seems like you've been hanging out in nightclubs too much and are a bit hard of hearing,"

Holding my last bit of patience, I spoke to her word by word:

"Lan Jingxue, I'm telling you, I don't want a shabby second-hand piece of you.

Please stop here and stop making trouble.

From now on, you walk your sunny path and I walk mine.

We are parting ways.”

He watched me open the passenger door and stepped out without any hesitation.

Lan Jingxue's eyes finally revealed an uncontrollable anxiety.

She rushed out of the car right after me and yelled at me:

"Yang Yuan, next Monday is our tenth anniversary..."

I looked back at her calmly:

"So what?"

"You once swore to the meteor shower that no matter how the world changes, even if the sea turns into mulberry fields, you will be by my side every anniversary."

As she spoke, the woman's usually calm and cold voice began to tremble uncontrollably:

"Yang Yuan, you hate people who don't keep their promises the most..."

I clicked my tongue impatiently, with a cold expression on my face.

"Only a fool would take seriously a boring oath made casually hundreds of years ago."

After hearing what I said, Lan Jingxue stood there stupidly for more than ten seconds before she found her voice:

"Yang Yuan, remember what you said today.

When you regret it, even if you kneel down and beg me, I will not look back!"

After saying that, the woman started the car, drove away in a zigzag manner.

After sending the plague god away, I returned to my buddy with a happy heart and continued to drink and chat with him all night long.

One evening half a month later.

I met an unexpected person in a large supermarket near my home.

"Sister Xue Ning?"

I just shouted out hesitantly, and the slender and beautiful woman stretched out her left hand and rubbed my head as she had done countless times in the past.

"Xiao Yuan, long time no see."

Even though we haven't seen each other for many years, Yang Xue Ning's eyes looking at me are still as gentle as ever.

I have known her since childhood.

As the sister next door, she always treated me like a younger brother, always tolerated me, and cleaned up countless messes for me.

I couldn't help but went up to her and hugged her, and asked with red eyes:

"Haven't you settled abroad? Why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back? I could have driven to pick you up."

Yang Xuening pursed her lips and smiled softly:

"My parents don't know I'm back yet."

"Ah? Then why would you..."

"Your brother told me that you have decided to stay with your parents and will not leave."

After a pause of a few seconds, she looked me in the eyes and added:

"So, I'm back too."

Having said what she needed to say, the woman remained silent, not caring about my excitement, and took the shopping cart from me.

She quietly went shopping with me in the supermarket, and then walked back to the community slowly with me in the afterglow of the setting sun.

When I was about to go upstairs to go home, I asked her to wait a moment.

In less than two minutes, I quickly returned to Yang Xue Ning.

"Sister Xue Ning, your favorite bitter coffee."

Seeing the childhood delicacy that she hadn't eaten for a long time, the woman was stunned at first, then she quickly frowned and was about to take it...

But the next second, someone knocked the ice cream out of my hand and pulled me to her side.

"Lan Jingxue? Why are you here?"

I froze, very surprised by the woman's sudden appearance.

However, Lan Jingxue did not answer my question. She just forced me to get into her car and made a fuss.

Seeing this, Yang Xue Ning reacted quickly and stepped forward to hold my other arm.

Lan Jingxue stared at Yang Xuening's hand on me and said through gritted teeth:

"Yang Yuan, I was wondering why you broke up with me for no apparent reason. It turns out you were having an affair with a mistress in this shabby place behind my back."

Hearing this, I was shocked and stared at her speechlessly:

"Are you crazy, Lan Jingxue? What do you mean by finding a mistress behind your back? Do I have anything to do with you?"

Seeing that I refused to get in her car no matter what, Lan Jingxue's face became colder than ice:

"Yang Yuan, I came here today to give you a way out for the last time.

If this endless cold war continues, you will be the only one who regrets and cries in the end."

As she spoke, Lan Jingxue held me tightly and reached into her pocket.

Soon, she fumbled out a love box, threw it into my hand, and motioned for me to open it immediately.

Seeing that I completely ignored her, she gritted her teeth and simply opened it herself with a red face...

Unexpectedly, it was empty inside.

Just before I was about to yell at her for being ridiculous, Ji Shijie stepped out from the passenger seat of the car.

After reluctantly taking off the diamond ring on his ring finger and perfunctorily putting it into the love gift box, the young man said to me with an innocent look:

"Brother Yang Yuan, I heard that you cut off the flesh from your chest because you misunderstood the relationship between me and President Lan... Why are you so stupid?

Boss Lan and I are just soul mates in spirit, and you are the man she truly loves. As men, we can't be as petty as women. Do you think I'm right, Brother Yang Yuan?"

What a spiritual soul mate.

After looking into Lan Jingxue's eyes for a while, I suddenly smiled:

"Give me the ring."

Hearing what I said, Lan Jingxue was overjoyed and immediately let go of my hand.

The woman took out the ring and put it on my ring finger impatiently.

I pulled the ring off directly, then came in front of Ji Shijie, grabbed his neck with lightning speed, and then stuffed the ring into her dog's mouth that could never spit out ivory!

No one expected that I, who was always kind, could be so violent and cruel when I got really angry.

Even I myself doubted for a moment whether I really wanted to kill Ji Shijie.

Ji Shijie, who was thinner and shorter than me, opened his eyes wide until his eyeballs seemed to pop out, but he was unable to pull away my big hand that had been covering his mouth.

"Ugh! Cough cough help, help... my throat is stuck..."

The horrible feeling of suffocation caused by the sharp foreign object made Ji Shijie's face full of tears and snot in a short while.

In order to help him escape danger as quickly as possible, I was very kind and punched him dozens of times on both sides of his face.

He was beaten until his face was swollen and dizzy, and then he was kicked twice in the stomach!

This kick was to avenge him for releasing the snake in an attempt to scare me to death.

The fake abdominal muscles that he had gained from eating protein powder were bruised by my kick. Ji Shijie fell to the ground in pain with cold sweat on his face. He vomited several times with his swollen and blue face before vomiting out the diamond ring and undigested lunch.

"Yang, Yang Yuan, you're a lunatic... I'm going to call the police to file a complaint for personal injury!"

After glaring at me fiercely, Ji Shijie turned around and wanted to throw himself into Lan Jingxue's arms pitifully, begging the woman to call the police for him.

But what he never expected was that Lan Jingxue not only frowned but also pushed him to the ground again.

She also complained in a cold tone that he had soiled the engagement ring she had carefully chosen.

Ji Shijie was completely stunned.

He was so distraught that he heard the woman's humble and flattering words to me, using his ears, which were almost deafened by my slapping:

"Yang Yuan, I know you have mysophobia. This ring has been contaminated by an insignificant outsider, you definitely won't want it again.

It’s okay, let’s go buy new wedding rings now, okay?”

Lan Jingxue talked to herself and reached out to me again, but this time, Yang Xuening was one step ahead of her and stood in front of me, saying indifferently:

"Xiao Yuan and you are done. Please stop clinging to him like a dog-skin plaster and making things difficult for him."

Ignoring Yang Xuening's presence, Lan Jingxue stared at me without blinking:

"Yang Yuan, come over here, as long as you are willing to come over, I can agree to anything you want.

Haven't you always wanted to get married? Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the marriage certificate tomorrow, okay, husband?"

I took a step back with disgust on my face:

"Lan Jingxue, I'm telling you for the last time that we have broken up.

Not only will I not marry you in this life, but in the next life, or the life after that, you and I will never be together again."

Before she finished speaking, Lan Jingxue, with bloodshot eyes, tore at Yang Xuening's collar:

"It must be you! It was you, a slut, who bewitched him into leaving me!"

Hearing this, I was so annoyed that I couldn't bear it anymore and slapped Lan Jingxue hard.

I asked her:

"Have you had enough of making trouble? If you have, get out of here."

The woman whose head was tilted by me was so stunned that she dared not move.

I don’t know how much time passed.

The woman finally found her voice, and asked me with trembling red lips:

"You actually hit me for another woman?

Yang Yuan, can you tell me what I did wrong?

Why are you so cruel to me?"

She really couldn't figure it out.

A woman who always says that she will stay with him forever as long as she doesn't break up.

How could a boyfriend who had licked her for nine years and would never go west as long as she pointed east, suddenly say he didn't want her and really didn't want her anymore?

Facing the woman's series of questions, I just said:

"Lan Jingxue, we have never been on the same path, it's that simple."

I watched Yang Xue Ning take my hand as if she was asserting her sovereignty, and I let her pull me away without any resistance.

Lan Jingxue felt as if her heart was crushed by an invisible hand and turned into a pool of rotten meat. Her eyes were so sore that she couldn't help crying.

"Yang Yuan!"

Lan Jingxue called me heartbreakingly.

When I turned around, she, who had always been indifferent and proud, knelt on her knees for the first time, crawled to my feet crying, and begged me in a very humble manner:

"Don't go, please don't go, please.

You don't know how I spent the past half month...

I am really being driven crazy by that home that is filled with memories of our love, Yang Yuan.

No matter what I see, I will think of you!

Yang Yuan, I really know I was wrong.

I shouldn't have let you down again and again for your kindness to me. I shouldn't have brought another man back to our home... It's all your fault that you were too good to me.

I fully understand that all the pain I am experiencing today is what I deserve and I have brought upon myself.

I only ask you to give me one last chance to start over.

I swear on my own life that I will definitely change, husband, I..."

"That's enough."

I looked down at the woman who looked like dust with an expressionless face:

"Lan Jingxue, I have made my words clear enough.

I really don't love you anymore.

Seeing you cry makes me feel sick and want to vomit.

From now on, don't show up in front of me again, or I won't be polite to you anymore."

Ignoring the woman's suddenly exhausted and desperate figure, Yang Xue Ning and I went home together.

That night, Yang Xue Ning ate and chatted at my house and stayed until almost dawn, then reluctantly returned to her own home next door.

Late on a weekend night a month later.

I received an unexpected phone call from an unknown number.

"Hello, this is the emergency department of the Municipal People's Hospital, your wife, Ms. Lan Jingxue..."

Hearing this, I immediately interrupted:

"You have the wrong number. I am single and I don't have a wife."

As if sensing that I was about to hang up, the person on the other end of the phone said hurriedly:

"Well, sir, the only emergency contact on the patient's phone is your number, so we can only contact you at this time.

The current situation is that the patient has taken an overdose of sleeping pills and is receiving gastric lavage treatment in our hospital. Her condition is quite urgent and we need someone to come over..."

"Sorry, I'm busy and don't have time to waste on people I don't know. Goodbye."

Not long after I decisively ended the conversation, I sent a text message to Yang Xue Ning.

[Are you hungry? Let’s go to the rooftop for a barbecue. ]

Five minutes later, Yang Xuening arrived at the rooftop and was pleasantly surprised to find that in addition to the delicious food,

I also prepared dazzling star hanging lights and fairy wands that she hadn't played with for a long time.

Have fun and eat and drink your fill.

Before going downstairs, I looked at the sky, turned to look at Yang Xuening, and whispered to her:

"The moon is so round tonight."

The woman lowered her eyes and smiled shyly, and echoed me softly:

"Yeah, it's really beautiful."

No matter how the seasons change, time flies.

The waxing and waning moon is always high in the sky.

Just like people who are destined to be together, no matter how many times they go around in circles, there will always be a day when they meet again.
