“…”
Chi Jingyuan's words seemed to penetrate all of Ming Jingnan's defenses and persistence. She seemed unable to speak all of a sudden. The air suddenly became thin, and breathing became difficult. Her chest seemed to be pressed down by something, and even crying became difficult.
She was clearly standing next to me and I could touch her with just a stretch of my hand, but she seemed inexplicably distant and ethereal, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.
She just stood there, looking at Chi Jingyuan with cloudy and confused eyes. Although she was still looking at him, the moonlight was blocked, and the reflection of Chi Jingyuan could not be seen in her eyes under the grayness. Only crystal clear and dark obscurity remained.
As the instigator, Chi Jingyuan knew how much harm this sentence could cause. This short sentence negated her efforts to a certain extent, and the meaning of paying for emotions...
It even makes the person who had previously risked everything for the relationship no longer have the energy to continue to save the relationship.
...Of course he knew, because he had experienced it himself.
His heart was broken, and there were no more words, only silence. Ming Jingnan silently followed Chi Jingyuan into the car, and sat beside him like a puppet, his body slightly curled up, as if he wanted to hide himself in some invisible corner, his pupils looking outside without focus, his eyes fixed on the distance, but it seemed as if he was not looking at anything.
When she first heard about the breakup, tears suddenly came to her eyes. This sentimental crybaby could not control her emotions and could not help crying when encountering some emotional things.
But at this time, she didn't cry.

Chi Jingyuan accidentally discovered before that Ming Jingnan was really charming when she cried. She had a sense of brokenness that was very different from her usual gentle temperament, so he always thought that Ming Jingnan looked very beautiful when she cried. Whether she was crying silently with tears flowing, or crying with her whole face wrinkled and she couldn't control her expression, there was a unique charm to her.
She is not like some people who look good in stills but lose control of their facial expressions and look weird when they make big expressions. Instead, she is the rare type who is very charming and attractive when she cries.
Even more charming than smiling.
Chi Jingyuan had joked about her trait before, saying that she cried beautifully and he really wanted to see it.
As a result, even though the two have been together for so long, Mingjing Nan seems to have never shed tears because Chi Jing did something bad.
The only time seems to be now.
Chi Jingyuan's mind was full of disordered thoughts... 99% of the time when two people were in love, he actually did a good job as a boyfriend.
It's just that the beautiful process met with a cold ending, which made all the so-called "good deeds" before become chips that added to the collapse at this moment.
The car drove to the vicinity of Twice's dormitory and stopped at the place where he often picked up and dropped off Mingjing Nan.
Normally at this time, Xiaonan would have already looked over with bright eyes and began to reluctantly say goodbye, maybe even with a kiss goodbye.
But at this moment she seemed unaware that she had arrived at her destination. She just sat there, like a still painting. In this calm painting, there was only a candle flame swaying in the wind. The fragile wick was trying its best to maintain the faint flame, which could go out at any time.
Although he had stopped crying a long time ago, there were still traces of tears on Ming Jingnan's face left by the first tears, with a few shallow, faint wet marks on his pale face.
"Xiao Nan..."
After a moment of silence, Chi Jingyuan called out.
Hearing this voice, Ming Jingnan seemed to come alive. He turned his head mechanically and looked at him.
As they looked at each other, Chi Jingyuan paused for a moment. He felt that the pair of crystal clear yet dim eyes that she used to look at him seemed to have lost their former warmth and tenderness. They looked like broken crystals, each fragment reflecting the faint moonlight, but could never be put together again.
There were no words, just a look, and an indescribable aura hit Chi Jingyuan hard.
...This breath is a kind of lonely fragility, a pale fragility, but in the fragility it also contains a trace of stubbornness that makes people feel distressed. The mixed contrast makes it seem even more sad and broken.
But it is very beautiful, this kind of broken beauty is breathtaking.

At this moment, Chi Jingyuan suddenly had an epiphany.
...No matter how beautifully you cry, it is not as good as a casual smile.
It’s better not to cry because of him again, just this once.
"Xiao Nan..."
…………
After sending Ming Jingnan back, Chi Jingyuan drove aimlessly in the city. Although his expression was calm, his mood was extremely chaotic. He looked a little quiet and tired. Sometimes he would be distracted when waiting for red lights, and inexplicably recalled some familiar things. It was not until the car behind him honked that he suddenly woke up and found that the lanes on both sides were already full of traffic.
Sometimes he would suddenly become impatient and have a strong desire to destroy for no reason. When he saw a sports car passing by and speeding past him while honking its horn, this kind of thing that he never cared about before would make him inexplicably irritated and he would want to drive his car directly into the car and throw the arrogant driver into the sea.
It seemed that he had become the evil dragon of the past, and it seemed that he was the despicable abandoner of this relationship, but to be honest, Chi Jingyuan didn't feel so good in his heart...
Originally, Chi Jingyuan thought that as long as they broke up, he could get rid of the guilt that had been torturing him in his heart and making him extremely uncomfortable for some time.
But I didn't expect that after we really broke up, this feeling not only did not ease, but became even more distinct and stubborn, and could not be driven away.
...Especially when I saw Mingjing Nan's broken and fragile appearance at the end, I felt really uncomfortable.
After all, she is the girl with whom he has been in love for the longest time, and without him realizing it, she has actually occupied a considerable place in his heart.
...Chi Jingyuan thought he was carefree and that no one could live without anyone else, but to be honest, he really couldn't be carefree at the moment.
The last time he separated from Bae Joo-hyun, Lee Seung-ri suddenly gave him a chance to vent his pent-up negative emotions with a few blind idiots.
Thinking of the name Wen Taiyi, Chi Jingyuan's anger and desire to destroy began to grow uncontrollably.
I don't know if he is in the company, forget it...
Chi Jingyuan thought about it endlessly and drove around the city for several circles. He thought of the extremely annoying suggestion made by a country woman the day before yesterday. He hesitated for a second and made a phone call:
"Come out for a drink..."
…………
“…So soon?”
Zheng Enji, who was called out in the middle of the night, sat opposite and looked at Chi Jingyuan with a strange look in her eyes, "I thought you would hesitate for several days."
When she heard Chi Jingyuan say that, she knew that there would definitely be a result soon, but she thought it would take some time. She didn't expect to receive his call today.
I was actually a little dissatisfied... Although the performance of this solo was average, I am still a popular singer even if it fails. It is still the comeback period. Don't you know how busy the comeback period of popular singers is? Sometimes I can't get off work until the early morning. You don't ask me if I have work, but just want to invite me to drink with you with just one phone call?
You look down on me, don't you?
But Jung Eun-ji still came... because she really didn't have a job at the moment.
“…”
Chi Jingyuan gulped down a glass of soju, not bothering to pay attention to Zheng Enji's teasing, nor did he mention Ming Jingnan's matter. Instead, he began to curse in a deep voice: "...Originally, there was nothing wrong. If it weren't for that bastard Wen Taiyi, how could there be so much nonsense?"
"…Shit, I really want to throw him into the Han River."

Chi Jingyuan did not hide his anger towards Wen Taiyi. He gritted his teeth and wished he could shoot him to death. He put the wine glass on the table fiercely, making a miserable muffled sound.
If it weren’t for Wen Taiyi, everything would be fine now. How could this situation have happened?
"Oh."
However, Jung Eun-ji glanced at him and poured him a glass of wine. She did not agree with him, but said in an inexplicably blunt tone: "Of course he deserves to die... But if you behave yourself and don't play both sides, then what does it matter if they record you or expose your secrets?"
"This kind of thing will eventually be known to others, it's just that Wen Tai was stupid and ran into it himself."
"Besides, I heard you talk about Mina before..." Jung Eun-ji clinked glasses with him and said to herself, "You mean Mina? She has a good temper. Although she is an idol, she is actually very much like a traditional Japanese woman. More importantly, she likes you very much..."
"A woman like this still likes you so much. Even if she knows you're cheating, as long as you talk nicely and apologize or something like that, or if you understand women very well and are good at pushing and pulling, as long as you use some skills, it shouldn't end up in a breakup, right?"
With a sneer that clearly showed its meaning, Jung Eun-ji glanced at Chi Jingyuan, who was clearly annoyed by what he said, curled her lips and directly exposed him: "You are too arrogant. Just because you are confident and have excellent conditions, you always feel that it doesn't matter. If you break up, you will always have the next one. You always feel that everything is under control. Once something bad happens, tsk... that sense of superiority of a chaebol child is really, alas."
Because of his royal status, Chi Jingyuan mostly encounters flattery in his daily work.
But Jung Eun-ji dares to say many things that others dare not say... Since they have known each other since they were not famous, there is really no need to be so secretive.
...and she dared to say it so bluntly, directly pointing out Chi Jingyuan's problem.
"..." Chi Jingyuan's mouth twitched, and he gritted his teeth, seeming a little angry, but he did not refute, nor was he really angry.
"But it's an improvement. Compared to before when you didn't show up at all and dumped someone with just a phone call and didn't care, now at least you feel guilty."
Jung Eun-ji changed the subject and started talking about Son Na-eun again... Her tone was even a little complimentary, but I don't know if she was implying him.
Chi Jingyuan clenched his fists, his eyes trembling slightly, as if his heart was touched.
However, he thought about it for a long time, and finally just sighed deeply, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
Jung Eun-ji poured more wine for the two of them and asked curiously, "What should we do next? Take a break for a while, and then go on to cause trouble for the next one?"
Chi Jingyuan looked over with a strange look.
Feeling the strange look from the opposite side, Jung Eun-ji was stunned. She crossed her hands and made a gesture of refusal, shouting righteously: "Hey, don't hit on me!"
"hehe."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Chi Jingyuan sneered when he heard this: "I will go back and apologize to Xiaonan right now. I won't have any intention of hitting on you."
Hearing this, veins popped out on Jung Eun-ji's forehead.
Aisi...it hurts her self-esteem.
"never mind……"
After drinking a few glasses of wine and eating some barbecue, Chi Jingyuan seemed to have let go of something after thinking for a while. He shook his head and said casually in an erratic tone: "I feel like I suddenly have no interest in love... I'm too lazy to fall in love next time, so let's indulge ourselves for a while... Let's see if there are any beautiful newcomers in the circle recently. Hello, do you have any recommendations?"
"Ashi, am I your madam?"
Zheng Endi was so angry that she laughed: "How can you say such shameless and shameless things so openly?"

"You were quite smart just now, analyzing me thoroughly, why are you so stupid now?"
Chi Jingyuan shook his head slowly and said, "I'm about to start working. I'm so busy, how can I have the time?"
"Oh, you know whether there is or not."
"Don't worry, it won't harm you anyway."
…………
Alcohol can indeed confuse people's emotions. In any case, after drinking with Zheng Endi, Ji Jingyuan's previous irritable mood dissipated a lot. After being sent home by his assistant, he took a shower. Although he was a little dizzy due to the lingering alcohol, he did feel a lot better.
He was in his room at this time, looking at some items scattered around the room... These were the gifts given to him by Ming Jingnan.
As Twice, this girl often has trips out of town. No matter where she goes, she never forgets to bring him gifts. Some of them are local specialties, and some are small things that she came across by chance and found very interesting.
Moreover, Ming Jingnan is a person with a strong sense of ritual. She remembers things like Valentine's Day and dating anniversaries. She will not solemnly ask Chi Jingyuan to remember them as well, but on such days, she will buy some small gifts for him... Sometimes they are small gifts, and sometimes they are herself, wearing sexy underwear.
Anyway, although she looks calm and gentle, she is actually a very emotional and introverted girl.
At this moment, Chi Jingyuan could see many things with her mark just by taking a casual glance.
There are various small gifts, most of which have anime elements, and there are quite a few "Pokemon" figures alone.
There were also CDs, dolls, music boxes, various clothes, two unopened Legos and puzzles that the two of them had bought together... I remember there was also a large Twice puzzle in their apartment, but the two of them spent an entire afternoon and still couldn't finish it. They only finished half of it and left it there, agreeing to continue working together next time.
Opening the wardrobe, Chi Jingyuan easily found the gray scarf that Ming Jingnan had given him, which she had knitted herself during her busy schedule to celebrate their anniversary.
On the bedside table, there is a Richard Mille automatic movement watch, which is the gift that Ming Jingnan brought back from Switzerland for him.
All in all, even though there was no deliberate arrangement, and even though many things were actually left in EXO's dormitory and not brought back, his own room at home was still full of many traces of Ming Jingnan.
...We've really been dating for a long time.
Chi Jingyuan looked at the various things around him and sighed silently.
It has been more than eight months since last summer.
Looking back through his memories, he has never been in a formal relationship with anyone for such a long time since his debut, and even since he had a relationship experience.
Although it may sound hurtful, most of his relationships are like Sun Na Eun's, where they fall in love and are together for a month or two, but soon the passion wanes and it ends not long after.
The previous Bae Joo Hyun was already considered long, but Ming Jingnan is really the longest one...
...As for Bae Suzy, although she is free because she is not bound by a romantic relationship, there is always something missing.
Chi Jingyuan looked around at the things with the famous Jingnan mark and put them all away as if he was not getting rid of them. After thinking about it, he decided to let them stay here.
But when he saw those Pokémon figures with their mouths wide open and grinning, he couldn't help but sigh.
They share the same hobbies, similar personalities, like playing games, and have a look that suits his aesthetic taste... Nan Mingjing really fits his ideal type.
But the so-called ideal type sometimes seems so fragile.
He turned off the lights and lay on the bed, but Chi Jingyuan tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

The alcohol still lingered in my head and I felt a little dizzy. My emotions and thoughts seemed to be free from their shackles and I couldn't help but think about all kinds of inexplicable things.
Xiaonan should have gone back a long time ago. I wonder how she is doing now... She must be very sad.
I don’t know if I told anyone else about the breakup.
The other members of Twice know this and won’t say anything...especially since they heard that Park Ji-hyo has recovered from her injury and returned to the team.
I don’t know if what he arranged was effective.
Also, Zhou Ziyu won't have any strange reactions after knowing this...
He even thought of his first love, who he heard was traveling around the world. He wondered what her expression would be when they met again and saw that the unreserved bootlicker she once was had become what she is now.
Chi Jingyuan's thoughts were extremely jumpy, but out of control.
As I was thinking about it, I inexplicably thought of the words that Minatozaki Sana said yesterday.
When the words that shocked him greatly and even in a sense made him firm in his determination to break up reappeared in his mind, Chi Jingyuan's thoughts, which had originally been let loose, suddenly froze.
After lying there for a long time, he suddenly sat up from the bed, put on his pajamas, walked out of the room, and quickly walked to the music room not far away.
He casually lifted the piano cover, sat in front of the piano, and his fingers unconsciously tapped the keys lightly.
When this sentence came to his mind, he couldn't help but put himself into Mingjing Nan's emotions... When he tried to see this relationship from her perspective and emotions, and look at her dedication, he felt a blockage in his heart.
But at the same time, a strange, subtle inspiration surged in his heart.
If it were Xiaonan, after giving so much and only getting such a result, she would be heartbroken and would definitely doubt herself and doubt whether she had ever loved her.
This relationship, this love is all fake...
His fingers moved slightly, and he first played a few notes casually on the keys, and then his hands were straightened and placed flat on the keys.
The cold moonlight shone mercilessly on Chi Jingyuan through the window, tearing his figure into two mottled gray and black.
A few seconds later, the piano sounded again, accompanied by his low and somewhat hoarse singing voice:
"If it's for you, I can pretend to be happy even if I'm sad..."
