After the Breakup, I Stole My Friend’s Girl

Gao Lei ended our eight-month relationship with a text that said, “I’m bored.”

On the third day after our breakup, he was playing games at the internet cafe as usual, as if I were just some insignificant passerby.

But his best friend, Jiang Chen, opened an umbrella for me on the rainiest, most miserable day of my life. “He doesn’t want you. I do.”

We fell in love in secret, filling QQ with sweet nothings whispered late at night and sharing restrained kisses on street corners.

Then, on my birthday, Jiang Chen dropped to one knee in front of all our friends. “From today on, my girlfriend’s name is Lin Yue.”

When Gao Lei smashed his glass and rushed over, Jiang Chen pulled me behind him and said, “You were the one who let go first. Don’t blame me for being the one to love her.”
