Chapter 54

“…… Why?” Su Bin suppressed his trembling voice, holding back his tears, and asked, “Why…?”

The dining table and the living room were in the same space, without any barriers, so Yang Chengzhe and the others felt that something was wrong with the phone call Su Bin received. They stopped eating and turned their heads to look at him not far away.

Chen Xiaotian said, “We’re not compatible.”

Su Bin was a little excited, “Where are we not compatible? We’ve been together for almost four years… You’re telling me this now?”

Chen Xiaotian also seemed moved, “Su Bin, as you said, we’ve been together for almost four years. If we could continue, I wouldn’t be saying these words today…”

Su Bin didn’t want to care about anything anymore. He cried while asking, “Why, why…” Over and over again, persistently like a child denied candy, “Tell me why!”

Chen Xiaotian choked up as well, but she still explained to Su Bin in a reasonable manner, “I can’t deceive myself anymore. Being with you for such a long time, I always felt like you were a child who couldn’t grow up. I tried to adapt to you, but one year, two years, three years… you’ve always been like this. Instead of feeling like a boyfriend, I feel like you’re my younger brother. Every time I face you, I can’t bear to mention breaking up. After all, we’ve been together for so long, and when I see you cry, when I see you in pain, I also feel heartache. I’m not a heartless person, but we’re not suitable…” Chen Xiaotian paused for a moment, finally unable to hold back her tears anymore, “I’ve been thinking about this for two years since we got back together in our freshman year. I’ve been conflicted for two years… I forced you to study abroad so that we could both calm down… But I was wrong. Your reliance on me exceeded my imagination, Su Bin, I’m tired, I don’t want to continue anymore…”

“I won’t be childish anymore, I won’t be spoiled with you…” Su Bin hurriedly promised, setting aside all his dignity and pleading, “What’s wrong with me? Tell me, I’ll change, is that not enough?”

“No.” Chen Xiaotian said firmly, and then gently, “You’re great, don’t change…”

Su Bin completely collapsed, “Why don’t you want me if I’m great?”

Chen Xiaotian choked back, “Why are you so foolish? Why do you insist on holding onto me?”

Su Bin begged in a mournful voice, “I don’t want to break up, can we not break up…”

… I met you during the green and tender years of being sixteen. I gave you all my passion, my patience, my care…

… Why do I insist on holding on? Because when I was most in need of love, you suddenly appeared in my world…

… Maybe others say you’re not good, but only I know your gentleness and kindness…

“Xiaotian, don’t leave me, I’m in pain…”

I haven’t bought you a ring yet, I haven’t proposed to you, I still want to take you to country B for wedding photos…

I’m already trying my best to grow up, why can’t you wait for me…

“I’m sorry… I already have someone I like, and I believe you will also find someone better than me…” After saying this, Chen Xiaotian hung up the phone mercilessly.

Su Bin held onto his phone, crying uncontrollably, dialing her number over and over again, but it was all in vain.

There was no longer that occasional gentle, sometimes serene, sometimes cheerful and scolding voice on the other end of the phone, responding to him.

Yang Chengzhe and Jin Fei heard Su Bin’s phone call and knew what had happened. They couldn’t help but stand up and comfort him…

“What’s wrong? Why are you crying like this…” Yang Chengzhe handed him two tissues and sat down on the sofa, pulling him to sit as well. “Don’t cry, don’t cry. We’re all grown-ups, come on, tell us what’s wrong!”

Su Bin covered his face and sobbed for a while, huddled up in a daze.

Jin Fei seemed to have expected this to happen, he said, “Breaking up is good. When the old one goes, the new one comes!”

Su Bin, holding a beer can, drank while shedding tears, choked, “I only want Xiaotian…” Unfortunately, Xiaotian had already turned her back, leaving this fool behind. He wanted to go back to China, he wanted to see her…

Jin Fei handed him another can and pointed to the dynamic bicycle on the windowsill, “Drink this can, and the bike is yours.”

“…” Su Bin took the beer, poured it into his mouth, the drink spilling down his mouth and neck, but he didn’t care. If it could make him feel a little better, he was willing to try anything…

After a while of silence, Yang Chengzhe got up to clean up the dining table and explained to Ellen, who was still sitting at the table in a daze, “Su Bin and his girlfriend broke up.”

Ellen: “…”

Yang Chengzhe didn’t know if it was his illusion, but he felt like Allen’s eyes lit up after hearing those words, looking very happy…

Jin Fei continued to console Su Bin, “It’s just a little sweetness. Without her, you still have little honey, little bee, little salty… uh, and little dance!”

After finishing a can of beer, Su Bin burped and choked, “I only want Xiaotian…” Unfortunately, Xiaotian had already found someone else, leaving him, this fool, behind.

“… Just because she’s the first… so I don’t want anyone else! I only want her!” Su Bin exclaimed, gripping the soda can tightly and stubbornly insisting.

Jin Fei shouted, “But she doesn’t want you!”

Su Bin froze for a moment, choked up, and then his tears burst out fiercely. He released the last breath he had been holding in his chest and cried loudly!

Jin Fei watched him cry and thought of something. He felt a bit empathetic, but he couldn’t cry as freely as Su Bin… His tears had dried up years ago when he experienced something similar. He embraced Su Bin’s shoulder, gently patting him, and comforting, “Cry, cry. Let it all out, and tomorrow everything will be better… Actually, you could consider my sister…”

Su Bin: “Wuwu~ Go away~ Wuwuwu~”

…Mature and rational women bring you many things—friendship, family love, endless tolerance—but very little love…

Jin Fei interjected, “How many times have you slept with her?”

…Because without love, one can be calm and composed… That’s why, one day, they will ruthlessly leave you…

Su Bin was choked by Jin Fei’s words, “Never!”

Jin Fei stared at Su Bin’s face in shock, “Are you still a virgin, damn it?”

Su Bin: “QAQ…” Sob sob sob~

Jin Fei rubbed his chin, “Maybe that little sweetheart didn’t want you because of that…”

Su Bin: “Wuwaaah~” TAT~ Who can take away this perverted maniac~ So annoying!

…We can’t blame anyone. That’s just growing up…

Su Bin got completely drunk under Jin Fei’s influence. He was the type of person who, when drunk to a certain point, became as lively as if he had been injected with chicken blood. Yang Chengzhe had noticed this behavior before and wanted to advise them to drink less.

But there was no way. After all, he was a twenty-seven-year-old man who hadn’t experienced being dumped, so he didn’t have the qualifications to speak up… Yang Chengzhe looked up at the ceiling in silence, suddenly feeling a bit lonely.

After having no outlet for his energy, the exhausted Su Bin spent over an hour staring at the dynamic bicycle, crying and singing sorrowful songs in a muddled state, “You want me to say how embarrassed I am~ I don’t want to be apart at all~ Why am I accommodating you even in breaking up~ Wu~ What will I do without you~ Who will wipe my tears~ Happy breakup~ I’m not happy at all~ Wu~ Ah~ My world is all dark~ Kick~ Baby kick~ Spit~ Choke to death~ Buy and rob~ Ah, Gump, um~”

“Oh my goodness…” After dealing with something upstairs and coming back down, Yang Chengzhe saw the exhausted Su Bin hanging on the dynamic bicycle like a rag doll. With his wide, teary eyes, he looked dead and lifeless, pitifully shedding tears.

Jin Fei also came out of the room when he heard the noise. “Finally done, your stamina is really impressive… Wait, he’s still crying! Your faucet, quick!”

Su Bin moved his mouth, but he was too exhausted to make any sound…

Jin Fei sighed, “Fine, it’s for the better. He’ll definitely sleep like a log tonight, no more insomnia!”

Yang Chengzhe glanced at Jin Fei askance, “You seem to have a lot of experience?”

Jin Fei looked into the distance…

The two of them were struggling with how to get Su Bin up to his room when Allen came down, taking the opportunity to retrieve the phone that had been left on the table, constantly recording.

“Is he quiet now?” Allen asked.

Jin Fei shrugged, and Allen walked over, easily lifting the soft Su Bin off the dynamic bicycle… “I’ll take him back to his room.” After saying that, Allen went upstairs.

Yang Chengzhe and Jin Fei exchanged glances. Yang Chengzhe said, “Um, Allen takes care of Su Bin. Maybe he couldn’t help much tonight, so…”

“Based on my years of social experience…” Jin Fei rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment. “I really can’t understand why Allen has mysophobia!”

Yang Chengzhe: “…”

When they were near the door of the room, the drunken Su Bin suddenly realized something. He struggled and managed to sit up, and Allen stopped in his tracks, looking at the person in his arms. “Hmm?” He asked, wondering what Su Bin wanted to say or do.

Su Bin stared at Allen’s face, dumbfounded, and after a two-second pause, he used the last bit of strength to cling tightly to Allen’s neck. “Don’t break up!”

Allen was taken aback, although he didn’t understand what Su Bin was saying, he still chuckled pleasurably.

Originally intending to take Su Bin back to his own room, Allen changed his mind…

He used his body to block his own bedroom door, carrying the person in his arms into his room.
