Chapter 574: Let’s Break Up Officially

Ji Chuan massaged his temples. “Yes, I see our problems more clearly now, Xi. Can you please be more rational? I respected you, even when you called off our engagement so hastily, even when it brought shame to my family. What else do you want from me? For me to stop being friends with Shuangwei? Don’t you think you’re being a little unreasonable? We are all friends, after all. You weren’t like this before.”

Nian Xi’s eyes welled up in tears. She had wanted to break it off peacefully. Right now, everything he said cut deep like a razor. “Alright, you can treat it as if I’m the one being unreasonable. Let’s break up officially. Since you can’t stand me any longer, don’t buy me these things in the future.” Nian Xi sat down on the chair away from him.

“You can take some time to cool down, then.” Ji Chuan looked at her back helplessly. “I’m going to make a move.”

“I’m not talking about taking a break. I want to break up with you.” Nian Xi was shaking. Her limbs and her torso felt weak. Before Ji Chuan could say anything further, she continued, “You should give your good friend Shuangwei a bit of advice, too. Tell her to stop bothering my brother. I heard from Sang that she did all sorts of antics from balloons to advertising screens to confess her feelings to him. The whole company is talking about it. He already has a girlfriend.”

Feng Ji Chuan felt uncomfortable at the mention of Luosang. He thought that she was purely seducing Nian Junting with her body. Before he could voice his opinions on the matter, he stopped himself. Since the situation was as bad as it was between them, it would only make Nian Xi angrier. One thing was for certain; they had differing opinions when it came to Nian Junting.

“Let’s talk about it after I’m transferred back.” He quickly marched off.

Nian Xi felt like someone had torn her heart in half as his footsteps slowly faded away. If only she could compromise on certain things, if only she could have a bigger heart, they might not have ended up this way. But the more she loved him, the more jealous she got, especially after observing how Nian Junting treated Luosang.

She thought about a man who would put her first in all scenarios, someone who would spoil her and love her unconditionally. Feng Ji Chuan wasn’t that man. Even when it came to breaking off their engagement and breaking up, he kept his cool. Maybe if she loved him a little less, they might be happy together.

…

In the following days, Luosang went to school in the mornings and voice acted at the company in the afternoons. She didn’t knock off from work until midnight every day. If he wasn’t busy, Nian Junting would appear at the recording studio at 11 o’clock every night to wait for her. He would bring her lots of food every time he was there.

Luosang’s colleagues had the initial impression that he would distribute the food to the crew as supper. They soon realized that the food was meant for Luosang and Luosang only. He always handed it straight to her and had no intention of sharing it with the rest of the crew.

Whenever Luosang tried to hand out the food, Nian Junting would stop her. “I only bought enough for you,” he would say.

The other voice actors were shocked. He brought plenty of food with him, two whole bags to be exact. Feng Cheng said, “I didn’t know that you had such a big appetite. I couldn’t tell from all the times we ate together.”

Luosang would blush when people made remarks like that, and she would glare at Nian Junting. It was embarrassing to let others know how much she could eat. “It’s alright. Let’s all share. He only thinks that I can eat so much,” Luosang replied.

“Really? Didn’t you finish all the food last night? I had to buy more today,” Nian Junting said.
