Endless Fall

122 He Is Being Tortured At All Times

Lin Jiao followed him.

She walked next door under the sun and sat in the garden with Chu Yuzhou.

“Did you not sleep well last night?” She stared at the dark circles under his eyes with concern.

“Yes.” Chu Yuzhou poured the coffee into three cups. “I quarreled with her.”

“Why?”

“I was playing games with Brother Yanshen and forgot to reply to her message.”

“You didn’t apologize?”

“I did, but she insisted that I didn’t like her anymore.”

Pei Zhi swirled his coffee cup. “Then do you still like her?”

“I do, but I’m starting to get tired.”

“It hasn’t been that long and you’re already tired?”

“It’s not a matter of time.” Chu Yuzhou handed him a cigarette. “Her emotions are fluctuating all the time, and I feel tortured.”

“Give me an example?”

“She wanted me to buy her a bag last Thursday. When I said I was busy, she immediately fell out with me. After that, I bought it and sent it over to her, but she didn’t want it.”

“Did she take it eventually?”

“After I begged her and said a lot of nice things, she took it.”

Lin Jiao paused in the middle of stirring her cup.

She restrained the sympathy that flashed across her eyes and advised him tactfully, “You two are not compatible.”

“I think so too.” Chu Yuzhou sighed.

He threw the phone on the table. “I’ll talk to her when her agent sends me a message.”

“What does it have to do with her agent?”

“Every time she blocked me, her agent would secretly send me the location and ask me to go over and coax her.”

Pei Zhi frowned when he heard that.

When he saw Chu Yuzhou’s foolish look, he knew that he had treated the agent as a good person. “If you want to break up, make up your mind and do it. Don’t drag it on.”

“The thing is that I can’t find her now.”

“Ask Yanshen.”

Chu Yuzhou called Zhou Yanshen.

After knowing that she had gone to Bin City to film, he rubbed the hair on his forehead dejectedly. “Brother Pei, can I borrow your phone?”

“Use Jiaojiao’s phone.” Pei Zhi did not want other women to keep his contact number.

Lin Jiao pressed the dial button.

Seeing that he had turned on the speaker, she leaned forward and listened to their conversation.

“Nanrui, it’s me.”

“What do you want?” Xia Nanrui sounded impatient, but she did not hang up immediately.

“Let’s break up.”

“Chu Yuzhou, say that again.”

Chu Yuzhou repeated his words.

His indifferent attitude made Xia Nanrui panic. Her tone softened. “Is it because of what happened last night?”

“Yes, but no.”

Chu Yuzhou said calmly, “I have a job too, and I need to socialize. I really can’t do what you want me to do.”

She always made him embarrassed. Even if he did nothing wrong, he still had to beg her.

“Did I ask for too much?” Xia Nanrui choked. “If you don’t like me anymore, just say it. Don’t make excuses.”

“I don’t like you anymore. Are you satisfied now?”

“Do you have to do this? I sacrificed so much for you, but in the end, you still want to dump me?”

“What did you sacrifice?”

“I rejected two dating variety shows and five men who wanted to date me. The meeting with my fans has also been rescheduled because of you. Can’t you see it? Are you blind?”

Chu Yuzhou was silent.

Sensing that he was starting to waver, Pei Zhi knocked on the table twice to remind him.

“I’ll call you tonight.” Chu Yuzhou hung up.

“Brother Pei.” He stared at Pei Zhi, eager for an answer. “Is what she said true?”
