Mu Qingqing remained calm throughout, as if stating something utterly ordinary. Huo Ci froze, staring at her in disbelief. How could she break up with him? They were still deeply in love, had shared the most intimate moments in the world, and he was preparing to propose, planning to marry her immediately after graduation. How could she become so heartless and cold after just one summer vacation? Would all his dreams be shattered? Occasionally, passing men and women glanced at them with curiosity and admiration.
