Yang Zhixu’s rulers were always clearly marked and precisely accurate, down to the smallest fraction. But when he held Cheng Qingwu’s hand, the ruler in his hand broke, and so did he.
They met again five years later. Cheng Qingwu introduced someone: “Bro, this is my boyfriend.”
Yang Zhixu frowned slightly. “Didn’t you say college was so busy you had no time?”
“Love is like a gust of wind. It comes in a flash.” Cheng Qingwu smiled, holding her boyfriend’s hand intimately.
Ever since Cheng Qingwu got a boyfriend, she talked about him every chance she got.
Yang Zhixu found it grating and couldn’t stand the sight of him. His gaze kept drifting toward Cheng Qingwu, even from the corner of his eye.
One day, Cheng Qingwu was heading out on a date and told Yang Zhixu, “Bro, I won’t be home tonight. Get some rest.”
Yang Zhixu rose with a dark expression and blocked the door. “Xiao Wu, break up with him.”
When they were younger:
When Cheng Qingwu was twelve, she suddenly gained an older brother.
She swung a fist at him. “Just because you came to live at my house doesn’t mean I’ll accept you as my brother. My mom only gave birth to me. Get out of my house!”
She didn’t like this new brother and constantly picked on Yang Zhixu. Later, when they got into a fight and the school called home, she said, “Bro, the teacher wants you to come to school.”
The next time they got into trouble and the school called home, Yang Zhixu came in person. She mocked him: “Why are you pretending to be such a good student? You dated in high school too.”
