Chapter 2

But the real reason for the breakup had nothing to do with virginity. Zhang Qian's personality wasn't bad either. Chu Fei chose to break up with her because her attitude toward sex was so outrageously open that it was impossible to tolerate...

Leaving aside how often she dragged him out to hotels and opened rooms, what she liked most was taking Chu Fei back to the girls' dorm. Sometimes it didn't even matter if her roommates were there.

Only later did Chu Fei learn that she had even deliberately turned on her computer's webcam so the girls in her own room, and even in other dorms, could watch the live show from the next room. But the most outrageous thing of all was that, on Chu Fei's birthday, she told him she was going to give him a huge surprise. In the end, six girls from her dorm took turns using him until he was wrecked...

Of course, Chu Fei had no intention of pursuing criminal charges over that.

In fact, after that, whenever they invited Chu Fei back to the dorm to play, he would always gladly show up. He had even gone crazy with them in all kinds of ways before, like staging public "performance art" together in the girls' dorm bathhouse late at night, or sneaking around in the back rows of a lecture hall during a general education class to play a secret round of truth or dare, or even going naked and knocking on doors in the corridor of the girls' dorm in the middle of the night. They had even done it on the dorm roof while a telescope from the boys' dorm was pointed their way...

Honestly, that was a happy and unforgettable time, until one day the other two girls in Zhang Qian's dorm brought their own boyfriends along too.

Chu Fei had played with other people's girlfriends, so naturally he had no reason to object when his own girlfriend knelt beneath someone else. He watched as Zhang Qian was sandwiched front and back by two unfamiliar men, their thick, dark cocks pistoning in and out of her mouth and pussy...

Two days later, Chu Fei decided it was time to say goodbye.

It could be said that Chu Fei's four years of college had been a complete failure.

In order to make money, he had gained almost nothing from his studies, so naturally after graduation he couldn't find any good work. As for love, there was no need to say more. He had once thought Li Ran was perfect and would be different from all the other women, but cruel reality had finally awakened him. In front of money, so-called love was nothing but a joke!

So Chu Fei could only compromise with reality, give up the "perfect" love he had once believed in, give up everything he had been working toward, and decide to head to Shenzhen to take over his mother's beauty salon.

His mother, He Peiling, had actually called Chu Fei more than once to complain. She was getting old, she could no longer keep staying up late, and it was too hard for her to hold everything up alone in a strange city far from home. She really wanted Chu Fei to come help her as soon as he graduated...

Ever since Chu Yang, his father, died in a car accident years ago, He Peiling had single-handedly raised Chu Fei. No need to say how hard that had been. It was precisely to prepare his tuition and living expenses that He Peiling had gone alone to Shenzhen, taken up this less-than-glamorous line of work, and ended up with no way back.

Chu Fei of course understood all that. It was just that before, he had still been lost in the dream of building a sweet romance with Li Ran. He had planned to get married quickly in Wuhan, start a family, and then bring his mother back to enjoy an easy life...

But now, no matter how beautiful the dream had been, it was still only a dream!

Li Ran had already taken a bus home yesterday to spend New Year with her family. She hadn't asked Chu Fei to go with her, and hadn't even asked where he planned to go for the holiday. In fact, the only thing she had said to him lately was that sentence from yesterday afternoon: "I'm leaving!"

Fine. That way, no one had to be hurt.

He looked around the room one more time with some lingering reluctance. Their couple photos were still hanging everywhere on the walls. The smiles in those pictures had once been so bright, but everything had long since changed beyond recognition.

He picked up his backpack, decisively left the keys behind, then gently closed the door and walked away. Let the memories stay with the memories.

Because New Year was almost here, there were few pedestrians on the streets. It looked rather desolate, but that matched Chu Fei's mood perfectly. He was still wondering how he was supposed to get to the train station alone when his phone suddenly rang out of place in his pocket. He pulled it out, and froze when he saw the caller ID.

It wasn't Li Ran, of course. At this point, Li Ran probably no longer remembered he even existed.

The reason Chu Fei froze was that this number hadn't appeared for more than two years. It belonged to his ex-girlfriend Zhang Qian, the model.

What was she calling me for now?

To laugh at how down and out I am?

To laugh at how naive I was?

Chu Fei's expression shifted through a dozen changes. His hand hovered over the answer button, but he still couldn't bring himself to press it. The phone kept ringing insistently, and only after a long while did he finally make up his mind.

"Hello?"

"Chu Fei, I'm behind you!"

Behind me? Chu Fei turned around, and sure enough, it was Zhang Qian. She was sitting in a black Audi parked by the side of the road, waving at him. A bitter taste spread through his mouth. So this was how it was after all?

After hesitating for a full few minutes, Chu Fei finally walked over slowly. "You need something from me?"

"I was waiting at a red light, and then I saw you... Get in!"

"Where to?"

"Get in!"
