Reborn in the 90s, tearing apart scumbag men for the sake of women.

Yu Shaofen's words weren't particularly harsh, but to Li Meimei, they sounded exceptionally unpleasant and jarring.

Yes, unlike Song Lingge, she didn't have a boyfriend as good as Qiao Nansheng, nor did she have good friends like Yu Shaofen and Zhang Xiuxiu who could support her.

Why is this?

That's because before that, Song Lingge was her only good friend.

Choosing between Fang Guanghua and Song Lingge is tantamount to tearing Li Meimei apart.

She couldn't help her love-struck mind, even though she knew that what she did would hurt Song Lingge.

Unrequited love is a punishment that cannot be spoken of to anyone; it can only be endured silently by one person from beginning to end.

Suddenly, Li Meimei, who was suffering from lovesickness, discovered a glimmer of hope.

She had the chance to be with her dream man.

For her at that time, everything else was worth abandoning, let alone just a good friend.

But things are different now. When Li Meimei nestled in Fang Guanghua's arms, she had fantasized more than once about whether she would make the same choice if she could do it all over again.

No answer is the best answer.

Li Meimei didn't argue further and turned to leave.

Yu Shaofen didn't get the answer she wanted and tried to stop her, but Jing Chu stopped her.

"Lingge gave you the file without making any demands. Do you know why? It's because she considers you a friend and didn't want to put you in a difficult position, so she gave you the choice," Yu Shaofen shouted, still unwilling to give up.

Li Meimei was stunned for a moment, but ultimately did not turn around.

Yu Shaofen broke free from Jing Chu's hand, frowned, and asked, "Why are you stopping me?"

"Don't you know her? Once she's up against Fang Guanghua, no one else's words will carry any weight."

"I don't understand her, only you do. There's no one else in the world who understands her better than you, okay?" Yu Shaofen said, then turned and left.

Jing Chu sighed and chased after him: "Speak properly, why are you so angry?"

"I'm not angry, how could I dare to be angry? I'm just stating the facts."

"You say you're not angry, but you're clearly angry. I was just analyzing Li Meimei, I absolutely didn't mean anything else." Jing Chu was defeated by her and raised his hands in surrender.

Yu Shaofen, however, persisted, her anger still simmering: "Your analysis is truly excellent! Even Fang Guanghua doesn't understand Li Meimei as well as you do."

"Fang Guanghua definitely doesn't know Li Meimei as well as I do. You know how they got together."

Yu Shaofen was speechless, overwhelmed by Jing Chu's sincerity. She truly didn't know how to respond without hurting him or herself. Jing Chu's answer had already struck a nerve, yet the man acted as if nothing had happened.

Poor Jing Chu wasn't completely unaffected; he just didn't know why Yu Shaofen was angry.

Or perhaps he knew that Yu Shaofen was angry with Li Meimei for betraying Song Lingge, but why would Yu Shaofen take her anger out on him when she was angry with Li Meimei?

"Shaofen, don't go! Wait for me!"

Yu Shaofen slammed on the brakes, but Jing Chu hadn't expected her to stop so suddenly and crashed into her.

He was a big guy, and he almost knocked Yu Shaofen down.

Yu Shaofen turned around angrily and glared at him.

Jing Chu awkwardly laughed and explained, "Sorry, I couldn't stop. But it's your own fault, who knew you'd suddenly stop!"

Yu Shaofen got even angrier, but she was too lazy to waste her breath arguing with the man in front of her.

The more I liked him before, the more I dislike him now.

Faced with this situation, Jingchu had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow.

"Shaofen, you can't punish me for Li Meimei's mistake. Ask yourself honestly, if you asked me to come with you, I would have come without hesitation, right? Right now, she's the one who made you angry, and I can tolerate you venting your anger on me, but you can't keep being angry forever!"

Yu Shaofen stopped again, and this time Jing Chu learned his lesson and braked in time, avoiding a collision.

While he was still basking in his own cleverness, he heard the girl in front of him say, "Jingchu, how about we break up?"

Yu Shaofen didn't even turn around to look at him.

Jing Chu stood there for a long time, completely bewildered, unable to understand what had happened to suddenly involve breaking up.

Even if Yu Shaofen and Song Lingge have a very good relationship, it's impossible for her to break up with him over just a few words!

"Shaofen, you..." Jingchu struggled to organize his thoughts for a long time, but still didn't know where to begin.

Yu Shaofen still didn't turn around; only her shoulders were trembling slightly, suggesting that she was also feeling very bad.

"let's break up!"

This time, the girl spoke without hesitation, with great courage and determination.

"Why? Just because I didn't stop Li Meimei? Or is it because I bumped into you and hurt you? I apologize, okay? Shaofen, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to. I shouldn't have laughed just now. Please don't be angry, okay?"

Jingchu pleaded earnestly.

The girl in front of him looked even more sorrowful, as if she had been touched by his words.

Yu Shaofen took a deep breath, trying to calm her restless heart.

Once her heartbeat had calmed down, Yu Shaofen finally spoke: "Jingchu, have you noticed that since we got together, you've always been so cautious, completely different from before? Actually, you're not happy, are you? We haven't become happier since we got together!"

"You're the same way. I don't understand where your sadness comes from. You weren't like this before. If there's something I've done wrong, you can tell me."

Jing Chu believed that his words were sincere and that he had thought them through carefully before speaking. He was sure that Yu Shaofen would be moved by his sincerity and have a good talk with him.

Actually, not long after they got together, he realized that the two of them didn't seem as happy as when they were just friends.

Yu Shaofen became insecure and anxious. Jing Chu tried to comfort her, but he couldn't get her to talk.

He even asked Qiao Nansheng about it, and Qiao Nansheng said that's how love is, and that's how girls are; as long as you give them enough tolerance, that's enough.

He had also observed that Qiao Nansheng and Song Lingge's journey had not been smooth sailing, but they had managed to overcome it, so he and Yu Shaofen certainly could too.

He never imagined that one day he would hear the word "breakup" from Yu Shaofen's mouth.

"You didn't do anything wrong, it's my fault. I've only just realized that people who can be friends aren't necessarily suitable to be boyfriend and girlfriend, so let's go back to how things were!"

Clearly, Jingchu's words did not change anything.

A gentle breeze blew, and the wisps of hair at the girl's temples fluttered. Yu Shaofen brushed her hair behind her ears, her eyes revealing a gentle yet firm gaze.

"Why is this happening?" Jing Chu hissed in pain.
