Chapter 3

Zhou Yanming showed a clearly offended expression.

He opened his phone, scrolled up to about three months ago, and showed it to me.

Xu Shaoting:

[Bro, I think I’m really breaking up this time. I never want to love this heartless woman again!]

Zhou Yanming didn’t reply.

Two hours later-

Xu Shaoting:

[Bro, I proposed successfully (grinning face)]

[Congratulate me, I’m getting married!]

Zhou Yanming:

[?]

[Go be a woman’s dog for life. The moment she tugs the leash, you go woof woof woof.]

[Being born human was an accident. You should learn the virtues of a dog and stick close to your master from now on.]

Xu Shaoting: [Are you jealous that I’m getting a wife?]

……

Zhou Yanming looked at me expressionlessly:

“Do you know I was about to pass out from anger at the time? They break up at the drop of a hat when dating-who knows if they’ll threaten divorce just as easily after getting married? I’ll be tormented by this couple for the rest of my life. Do you know how hopeless I felt?”

I silently opened my own phone and scrolled to my chat history with Li Qingyi from three months ago.

Li Qingyi: [Yuanyuan, I broke up.]

Me: [For how many days?]

Li Qingyi: [This time it’s really over. I have no feelings left for him!]

I replied with a meme.

Two hours later-

Li Qingyi: [Yuanyuan, I have something to tell you, don’t be mad.]

Me: [Got back together?]

Li Qingyi:

[He proposed (shy)]

[I said yes.]

I said quietly, “At that moment, I felt like the sky was falling.”

Zhou Yanming: “…So, you were the one advising her to break up?”

“And you too?”

We looked at each other, sensing something was off, and started comparing our chat logs on our phones.

Only then did we realize how eerily similar the history was.
