Chapter 695 Nian Xi Doesn’t Want to Go Out Drinking with Me Again
Shi Xiang was shaking from anger. “You think my character is flawed? Yan Su, have you been brainwashed by her? We’ve been together for so many years, how can you break up with me over an outsider?”
“Sang was never an outsider to me. She’s also not the only reason why I’m breaking up with you.” Yan Su was trying her best to hold back her tears. “Shi Xiang, as your ex-girlfriend, I sincerely wish you the best on your career. I hope you’ll be able to rectify your mistakes and improve to become a better person. You never know what will happen. It’ll be best for you if you stay down to earth and do the right things. I can’t hold onto this relationship anymore. I gave you the best years of my youth, but I don’t want to give you my remaining years in the future. Goodbye.”
She hung up immediately after. She was the one who hung up first this time. He was always the one who had to go first. She craved hearing more of his voice, his breathing.
She didn’t need to work hard for anyone anymore. What was she going to do with herself now? Who was she working towards being a singer for? Who did she leave her family for? She had nothing to look towards. Yan Su sat on her bed like a fool.
…
The next day, Luosang woke up to see Yan Su cooking noodles in the kitchen. She felt warmed by her gesture. “Su, you are so great. I get free food when I’m with you. When I stayed with Nian Junting, I had to cook for that man like a slave.”
Luosang suddenly noticed her red-rimmed eyes, and she was taken aback. “What… what happened?” She had never seen Yan Su like that before.
Yan Su lowered her head quickly and scooped the noodles into a bowl. “I broke up with Shi Xiang.”
Luosang was shocked. She felt bad as she looked at Yan Su. “I’m sorry, if it’s because of what I said…”
“No, I just realized when I was talking to him that we don’t share the same values anymore.” Yan Su shook her head sadly. Her voice turned hoarse. “He has changed.”
Luosang nodded. She trusted Yan Su’s taste. Shi Xiang must have been a good person in the past. He was just not the same as before after entering the entertainment industry.
“I realized that we have different upbringings, and we wouldn’t be happy, even if we forced ourselves to stay together. We haven’t really fought ’til now because we never lived together. I’m sure we would have our fair share of conflict in the future if we married.”
“That’s true.” Luosang sighed. “Just like how I almost broke up with Nian Junting on several occasions.”
Yan Su sighed as well. “I’m too embarrassed to go back to my parents now, and the new semester is starting. I guess I have to see this to the end. I’m going to get a job and earn money, see where life takes me, I guess.”
“Yeah, that’s the attitude. Don’t let the opportunities go to waste. You might be even more popular than Shi Xiang in the future. He might come crawling back to you. By then, you could just cast him a side glance and brush him off. How dare he try to pursue you when he’s not that famous yet.” Luosang burst out into laughter.
Yan Su burst out laughing as well, forgetting her sorrows momentarily. “I’m pretty excited now that you’ve painted such a beautiful picture.”
“Wait ’til you become famous.” Luosang patted her shoulders.
“Yeah, I’m still far from him.” Yan Su sighed and decided to pick herself up. “Forget it. Let’s eat now. I need the strength to fight, make him regret his decisions.”
“Yeah, if you still have any grievances or you need someone to drink with you, I’m always here. Be warned, I’m not the good kind of drunk.”
Yan Su was stunned. “How bad?”
“I don’t know. Ever since I drank that one time, Nian Xi doesn’t want to go out drinking with me again.” Luosang shrugged.
“…”
She wouldn’t be asking Luosang to accompany her, then. She’d save them both the embarrassment.
