Can We Still Be Friends After We Break Up?

On the first day after breaking up with Sheng Zhuoyun, Ning Man hid his Moments from him.

A week later, Ning Man unilaterally blocked him, refusing to receive his three daily check-in messages.

He swore he would never deal with this taciturn guy again.

A month later, Ning Man lay tossing and turning in his apartment bed.

He came up with all sorts of excuses for Sheng Zhuoyun, from their childhood friendship to how long he had put up with him. In the end, he magnanimously took him off the blacklist.

Looking at the messages Sheng Zhuoyun had sent every single day, Ning Man thought for a long time, then sent a few messages.

"Hey."

"Hey?"

"Hey!"

His ex, who kept an old-fashioned schedule, replied instantly.

"What is it?"

Ning Man pictured Sheng Zhuoyun’s perpetually cool, chaste face.

Furiously, he wrapped himself into a ball.

"Can't we even be friends? Sheng Zhuoyun, how can you be so heartless!!!"

Sheng Zhuoyun: "No."

Ning Man was so furious that he nearly blocked his ex again.

He sat up, emboldened by his anger. "Then can we still do it?"

"If not, I'll find someone else."

A few minutes later, Sheng Zhuoyun messaged: "Open the door."

Ning Man: ?

"I'm outside your apartment," he messaged as the knock sounded. "You deleted my fingerprint."

"Also, it's Aunt Ning's birthday. I have to take you home for dinner."
