Our Child Is Old Enough to Run Errands, but My Ex-Boyfriend Is Still Waiting for Me to Come Back

What happens when you see someone again after swearing never to speak to each other? Seven years later, I came face to face with my first love, the boyfriend I'd had such an ugly breakup with. I was bringing my daughter to compete in a residential tournament when I ran into Shen Xingyu and his group at the hotel entrance. There were men and women, all familiar faces from back then.

Trying to keep things civil, I greeted him. "Long time no see."

Shen Xingyu looked strangely at me, then turned and left. Behind me, his female best friend, Song Yuci, the one who'd caused our breakup back then, gave a cold laugh. "I thought you'd never come back for the rest of your life."

They still hated me as much as ever. I didn't want to make a fool of myself by trying to get along.
