[Tentative title]
1. Five years after their breakup, Chen Yihe ran into her ex-boyfriend again.
On a dimly lit street beneath the streetlamps, he walked past her with his arm around his current girlfriend.
The current girlfriend asked, "Which number ex-girlfriend is she?"
He answered casually, "It's been too long. I forgot."
Chi Ye lowered her eyes and walked away, despondent.
Everyone said that when they broke up, Chen Yihe had been utterly devastated, as if the sky had fallen. Afterward, every boyfriend she found bore some resemblance to Chi Ye.
Chi Ye couldn't have cared less.
A friend asked, "Do you remember her well?"
Without changing expression, Chi Ye put out her cigarette.
"A little hazily."
Later, after both had gone through breakups of their own, they met again, their relationship turning ambiguous.
Chi Ye pinned Chen Yihe against the vanity and kissed her. An old photograph fell from behind her.
The girl was pure and lovely; the boy was gentle.
His features even bore some resemblance to Chi Ye.
"Who's that?"
She replied calmly, "My first love."
Chi Ye: "...What?"
2. Chi Ye told Chen Yihe, "Let someone else be your stand-in."
She agreed.
Then Chi Ye realized that Chen Yihe had never been sincere. She was the only one who had become addicted, watching coldly as Chen Yihe flirted with one person after another.
In the end, Chi Ye could take no more. She took her back and rasped, "Had enough fun?"
