Reunited Again: What Should I Do About My Ex Who Won’t Let Go?

[Rekindled romance after a breakup, reunited after years apart]

At their high school reunion, Chu Bingxia ran into Pei Qiu once again.

He still had that strikingly aggressive face, and still seemed carefree and wild.

Chu Bingxia gave him nothing more than a superficial greeting.

Their friends teased them:

“Why are you acting like you barely know each other? You used to hang out all the time.”

“Yeah, we haven’t heard anything about you two in years, but we always thought there was something different between you.”

Chu Bingxia smiled and played along. “Pei Qiu and I aren’t that close. We were just study partners back then.”

Everyone got the message and stopped asking. When Chu Bingxia looked up, she found Pei Qiu staring at her with a cold, haughty expression she’d never seen before.

Later, a screenshot of one of Pei Qiu’s social media posts made its way to Chu Bingxia: “We’re not close. We were only each other’s first love, that’s all.”

The post included a photo of him and Chu Bingxia from high school.

It didn’t get many likes, but the comments were eerily unanimous: [They’re a couple. Let me have a taste.]

Chu Bingxia gritted her teeth and nearly ruined the screenshot with her finger before sending Pei Qiu a friend request: You, Pei, had better explain yourself!
