There's Something Off About My Ex-Boyfriend

The authorized version is published only on Jinjiang Literature City. The complete novel costs less than five yuan, so I hope you will support the official version.

Reunion after a long separation + getting back together after a breakup (or perhaps a story about making it official)

Blurb:

A somewhat depressed heroine who is still getting by x a scheming, sweet-talking, nurturing male lead

[Help! My ex-boyfriend has become my boss. What do I do?]

Comments:

[Will the poster get fired tomorrow for stepping into the office with her left foot first?]

[I'm dying, girl, maybe you should keep your distance.]

[A good ex is called an ex-husband, a bad one is called a criminal record. Girl, what do you call an ex-boyfriend?]

[Did you and your ex break up amicably, or...?]

[Just say it: what weight-loss pills is this account trying to sell?]

*

Lu Zhimeng's heart sank. You could say their breakup had been amicable, but she was the one who dumped Lu Kai. As far as she could remember, she hadn't really been in touch with him for four or five years.

When they met again, he didn't seem much different from before. He was very serious at work, but otherwise he was still as kind and considerate as ever.

And Lu Kai made no effort at all to keep his distance...

He took the drinks for her at team dinners.

He went easy on her during karaoke games.

He brought her medicine when she got her period.

He drove her to and from work.

After Lu Kai had covered her with a blanket for what must have been the umpteenth time while she napped, Lu Zhimeng unconsciously grabbed his hand. When she woke with a start, she immediately let go, her eyes full of alarm and confusion.

Is there something wrong with my ex-boyfriend? she thought.

Later, looking back at the post she'd made, Lu Zhimeng awkwardly rubbed the tip of her nose. She should have changed the title to: [Help! I slept with my ex-boyfriend. What do I do?]

Notes:

1. One male lead, one female lead, happy ending.

2. Everyone's a little messed up. This is an extremely freewheeling attempt at working through my feelings. Depressed girl and lovesick guy.

The male and female leads are not normal people. At first, you might find the descriptions strange. I admit I didn't lay the groundwork well enough, so you may feel a little confused, but all their actions have reasons behind them.

Modern alternate universe, no real-life inspirations.

3. It might be a healing story.

4. Tentatively planned as a short novel of about 100,000 words, and definitely no more than 200,000.
