Chapter 13 The Mysterious Ex-boyfriend

What does it mean to break up? She doesn’t even know this person called Chen Fangli. Moreover, during the month she was hospitalized after the car accident, she didn’t see anyone named Chen Fangli come to visit.

This time Wang Zhao sighed audibly, not holding it back.

Under Xu Yingchun’s undisguised shock, she seemed to hear a ding in her mind, followed by a message: Congratulations to the transmigrator for discovering new plot development and new characters. Please explore the relationship between Chen Fangli and the original owner.

And there was a note: There is no reward for successful exploration. On the contrary, failed exploration may lead to the collapse of the character setting and incoming trouble.

Damn it.

It’s been over two months, and suddenly an ex-boyfriend shows up. Even someone as calm as Wang Zhao can’t help but gnash her teeth.

It’s really fucking troublesome.

Wang Zhao has always been a refined person who rarely swears. In fact, she can count the number of times she has sworn in her life on one hand. The fact that such a refined person wants to curse shows how frustrated she is at the moment.

At this moment, Wang Zhao truly regrets a little. When she first woke up in the hospital after the car accident, her first sentence should have been: Who are you?

Then she should have added: Who am I?

Finally, she should have ended with: Where is this place?

Instead of immediately noticing something was off and deciding to pretend she knew everything to muddle through, due to her cleverness. She can only say she’s very unfortunate. Although the interpersonal relationships of this body she took over are simple, it doesn’t change the fact that the original owner was someone who attracted bees and butterflies.

She’s not someone who gets flustered easily. Her mind can go through hundreds of thoughts, but it only takes two or three seconds.

After exhaling, Wang Zhao only said lightly: “We haven’t seen each other for a long time.”

This kind of casual remark can easily create a misconception, especially for people who like to overthink.

For example, Xu Yingchun now shows a comforting expression of “Don’t be sad about the breakup, sister,” swallowing the words she wanted to ask further, as if afraid that saying one more sentence would deepen her emotional wound.

Wang Zhao didn’t lie with her words. It’s just that she’s used to speaking with some leeway to prevent any problems. It makes it easier to respond and refute later, not stating things definitively. It’s also a way of dealing with people.

Xu Yingchun sighed and said, “I thought you two would get married.”

Life is unpredictable. After entering society, you realize that breakups and reconciliations are quite normal. Many perceptions from university years have changed.

At that time, the relationship between these two people was really low-key yet high-profile. Many people thought Wang Zhao and Chen Fangli would be the first among their group of classmates to get married.

Wang Zhao hoped Xu Yingchun would say a few more things about the relationship between Chen Fangli and the original owner. But the person beside her didn’t say anything more after that sentence. She couldn’t ask directly, so she decided to privately investigate the original owner’s university days.

The two were about to part ways at the hospital entrance. The inpatient building was in the back. Xu Yingchun seemed to be heading there.

However, when they separated, Wang Zhao had only walked a few steps before being called again. Xu Yingchun seemed to have remembered something and said to her, “There will be a class reunion in a while. We haven’t seen each other for several years. This time we can meet during the holiday. Do you have time?”

Previously, when the other party mentioned it to her, Wang Zhao made up an excuse and declined. Now encountering Xu Yingchun, the other party probably wanted more people to attend, so she asked again.

“Who has decided to go so far?” After a brief consideration, Wang Zhao inquired.

Xu Yingchun was the organizer of the event and had a list of names. Hearing this, she said, “I can’t remember now. I’ll send you the list via WeChat later.”

“Okay,” Wang Zhao said. “I’ll consider it when I get back.”

After Xu Yingchun left, Wang Zhao went upstairs alone. In the elevator, she took out her phone and found the university classmates group. She searched for Chen Fangli.

His avatar was simple, a photo of a blue sky. She clicked a few times but didn’t take any action. She didn’t know the reason for the breakup between the original owner and Chen Fangli. Rash actions could cause unnecessary trouble.

The group had been chatting recently. She browsed the chat history. Chen Fangli hadn’t said anything, but someone mentioned him once, asking if he had returned to the country or if he planned to stay in the UK.

From this, she guessed that this man was probably studying abroad. Could it be that these two broke up because of a long-distance relationship?

Everything was unknown. This was a story that had already happened in the past.

She silently recited the name Chen Fangli in her mind. Suddenly, some images flashed through her mind: a crescent bay, islands, seawater.

The face of a young man appeared in her mind. She couldn’t see his features clearly, but he seemed to be smiling. Wang Zhao didn’t know why, but she felt he should be a gentle person.

These images came suddenly and inexplicably. They were the original owner’s memories of Chen Fangli.

Wang Zhao exited the elevator and rubbed her brow, feeling a bit of pain before putting her hand down. Looking at the waiting area not far away, she suddenly felt an indescribable weariness.

This weariness came so suddenly that even she was surprised.

Come to think of it, she had only been in this world for two months, but it felt like she had been here for several years. Troubles came one after another, like candied haw, with several hawthorns on one stick, one after another.

The matter with Li Zhenguan had just come to a conclusion, and suddenly a mysterious ex-boyfriend appeared.

Almost as soon as she appeared at the door, Li Zhenguan saw her. A smile appeared on his face, and his exposed bright eyes looked at her with such happiness.

Wang Zhao slowly exhaled and walked over slowly.

The milk in the transparent bag was still warm. Wang Zhao handed it to Li Zhenguan and then sat beside him.

“I saw there was warm milk downstairs, so I bought a cup,” she said, placing the bag between them. “There’s also mineral water here, but it’s a bit icy. See what you want to drink.”

Li Zhenguan made a sound of acknowledgment, rummaged through the bag, and still took out the warm milk. He inserted the straw and took a small sip.

Silence fell between them.

Wang Zhao felt the person beside her glance at her several times. She couldn’t help but perk up and softly asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” Li Zhenguan mumbled, still biting the straw, and said unclearly, “I feel like you’re in a bad mood.”

Perhaps even Wang Zhao herself didn’t realize that when her emotions were unstable, her eyes seemed to be pressed under a layer of dark clouds, and the feeling of annoyance would emanate from her eyes.

“Is that so?” Wang Zhao smiled indifferently and casually fabricated an excuse. “Maybe I didn’t sleep well last night.”

Li Zhenguan immediately believed her excuse. He felt a little guilty. “Is it because you got up too early? If I had known, I would have scheduled the appointment for the afternoon.”

“It’s not your fault,” she changed the subject. “I just ran into a university classmate downstairs. She said there will be a class reunion in a while and asked if I would attend. So we chatted for a bit.”

Li Zhenguan lowered his head and bit the straw. The hair on his forehead fell down, covering most of his face in shadow. He seemed to be drinking the milk very seriously and didn’t respond when he heard her words.

Wang Zhao was about to say something when the number on the screen called them.

Thank you to the little angels who watered me with nutrient solution: Wan Feng, 1 bottle;
