★ Rekindled romance | You should go back to your ex if they're a good catch | Cool, aloof girl vs. devoted, charming guy

-

As someone famous for being terrible at writing romance,

Cen Li's comments section was always full of readers lamenting.

Some even threatened to mail rat poison to her cat if she didn't write some sweet interactions soon.

Thinking of her readership, her editor tried their best to persuade her:

"For goodness' sake, why not watch a TV show or an anime and get some ideas?"

Cen Li replied listlessly, "I have. It didn't help."

"Then why not date someone yourself? Experience that flutter in your heart that comes with falling in love."

Cen Li, a slice of bread in her mouth, resisted with all her might. "Wise people don't fall in love. I don't have the energy to start a new relationship."

Her editor racked their brains. "Well, do you have an ex? Think back on the sweet moments you shared. Give your dopamine and inspiration a boost!"

"..."

An ex-boyfriend? Cen Li actually did have one.

Money was hard to earn and life was hard. After agonizing over it for ages, Cen Li tentatively messaged Chi Xie:

[Are you there, dear?]

[No.]

Cen Li gritted her teeth and tried a gentler approach:

[Chi Xie, have you been doing okay lately?]

[I eat delicacies from land and sea and sleep in a hundred-square-meter bed. What do you want?]

"..."

Cen Li ran out of patience and let her rebellious side take over.

[Oh, nothing. I just wanted to see how badly you're doing without me.]

This time, it took a long while for him to reply:

[I'm not doing well. I have no appetite, can't sleep, and miss you so much.]

[Satisfied?]
