It had taken An Rui several days to regain her trust in him.

  He had also drunk a lot that night.

  But she felt that drinking too much was not an excuse to bully people.

  She and Shen Mingxiu had been sweet, had argued, and had a cold war… She knew that all couples would experience this.

  But after a person’s bottom line was different from their morals, she felt that it was difficult to be together again.

  “Tiantian, don’t look for him. I never break up with him easily. My heart hurts more than anyone else when I say this!”


  An Rui wiped her tears away and took a sip of the milk tea.

  “I can’t say who’s right or wrong in breaking up with him. We can’t blame anyone for our incompatible personalities.”


  Ye Tian went forward and pulled An Rui into his arms. “Cry if you want to. Don’t suppress yourself!”


  An Rui shook her head.

  She had cried too many times in the past few days.

  She was no longer in the mood to cry!

  “I’m going for a vacation during the winter vacation. I should be in a better mood when school starts!”


  Ye Tian nodded. “Remember to take beautiful photos for me to see!”
……

  An Rui settled the procedures for her overseas trip.

  When An Rui arrived at the airport with her parents, she received a call from Shen Mingxiu.

  An Rui’s long absence from Shen Mingxiu made him panic.

  “Xiao Ruirui, let’s have a chat!”


  An Rui walked to the side and said to Shen Mingxiu with a calm expression, “I’ve said everything.”


  “I know you broke up in a moment of anger. I’m just acknowledging a god-sister. It really has nothing to do with her. If I cut ties with her, people will really think that there’s something between us.”


  “I’m being frank. Don’t think too much, okay?”


  An Rui no longer cared about his relationship with her god-sister.

  “Shen Mingxiu, our personalities don’t match. We can’t reconcile anymore…”


  “F*ck your personality. If you don’t, why did you like me in high school?”


  An Rui said, “Can you stop cursing? I’m trying to reason with you seriously!”


  Shen Mingxiu frowned when he heard the boarding notification from the other end of the line. “Where are you going now?”


  “I’m traveling abroad with my parents.” Seeing her parents waving at her, An Rui nodded at them and then said to Shen Mingxiu, “I don’t want to fall out with you. I hope that we can part on good terms.”


  “Shen Mingxiu, I was happy and sweet when I was with you. I have never regretted liking you. But once I have decided on something, I will never look back!”


  “I hope that the next time we meet, we can communicate calmly. Although we broke up, our three years of high school friendship can’t be erased.”


  “Goodbye, Shen Mingxiu.”


  “An Rui, don’t you want me to bow down first? Alright, I’ll apologize to you…”


  Before Shen Mingxiu could finish, An Rui had already hung up……

  Shen Mingxiu looked at the phone and threw it out angrily.

  An Rui had always been good-tempered in front of him. This was the first time she had hung up on him.

  Shen Mingxiu rubbed his hair in frustration, picked up his phone and called An Rui again.

  But her phone was turned off.

  Shen Mingxiu lay on the sofa and was in a daze for a while when his phone rang. He thought it was An Rui, but it was a brother he knew from university who asked him out for a meal.

  Shen Mingxiu agreed after some hesitation.

  After An Rui returned from her trip with her parents, she would be fine after coaxing her!

  Shen Mingxiu drove to the clubhouse.

  There were more than ten people in the room and as soon as Shen Mingxiu arrived, he went in.

  After dinner, they played cards, drank, and chatted.

  Shen Mingxiu played cards for a while and lost a lot. He got someone to play for him and got up to smoke on the sofa.

  “Brother.”


  Liu Keke sat beside Shen Mingxiu.

  Shen Mingxiu looked at Liu Keke, whose smile was pure and clean. This girl did not look like a vixen. Why did An Rui treat her as her love rival?

  “Brother, I saw that you’re not in a good mood today. Did you fight with Sister-in-law?”


  Shen Mingxiu put his legs on the coffee table and took a sip of wine, looking up slightly. “It’s nothing. I’ll be fine in a few days.”


  Liu Keke bit her lip, her eyes filled with tears. “Brother, is it because you acknowledged me as your godsister? Did Sister-in-law misunderstand something?”


  “No, don’t think too much.”


  Liu Keke sniffed, her voice slightly choked. “Brother, I’m really afraid that Sister-in-law will misunderstand our relationship. I know your personality. If you hadn’t collapsed from stomach pain on the road and I hadn’t happened to pass by and helped you to the clinic, you wouldn’t have acknowledged me as your godsister! You’re the kind of person who will repay others’ kindness!”


  “You only treat me as your younger sister. With our innocent relationship, Sister-in-law probably won’t misunderstand or throw a tantrum at you!”


  Shen Mingxiu had a complicated feeling.

  Even Liu Keke knew him. An Rui had known him for more than three years, but she still misunderstood him!

  “Brother, your stomach is not good. Drink less!”


  Shen Mingxiu waved his hand. “I’m fine.”


  Not long after, Qi Yuan and Li Lei came over.

  Seeing the two of them, Shen Mingxiu stood up and gave them a high-five.

  “It’s a pity Brother Yang doesn’t have time. Otherwise, the four of us would drink to our hearts’ content tonight!”


  Li Lei and Shen Mingxiu were from the same school. Although they were not in the same class, Li Lei was very familiar with Shen Mingxiu’s new brother.

  It was rare for Qi Yuan to come back, so the others gave them some space.

  Li Lei said, “Let’s take a photo!”


  The three of them took a photo and Li Lei posted it on his social media……

  An Rui got off the plane and turned on her phone when she got into the SUV her parents had booked in advance.

  Out of habit, she scrolled through her feed.

  In the end, she saw a photo sent by Li Lei.

  In the photo, Shen Mingxiu, Qi Yuan and Li Lei were sitting together, looking like they were still in high school.

  An Rui was touched and countless memories of high school flooded her mind.

  Just as she was immersed in her memories, she suddenly saw a bag beside Shen Mingxiu from the corner of her eye.

  To be exact, it was the small accessory that was exposed.

  The decoration was a fluffy white hamster pendant.

  An Rui had a deep impression of this accessory. She remembered that it belonged to Shen Mingxiu’s godsister.

  In other words, his god-sister had also attended their gathering and had even sat with Shen Mingxiu.

  An Rui did not know what she was feeling right now. After the anger, disappointment and sadness, there seemed to be only numbness left.

  Perhaps from Shen Mingxiu’s point of view, she was making a mountain out of a molehill!

  But it also made her realize that they would not last long!

  An Rui wiped away the tears that were about to fall from her eyes, before she silently blocked Shen Mingxiu’s number.

  Perhaps one day, they would become good friends again, but this winter vacation was probably impossible.
