My Ex Says the Flowers Came from a Dog

Yu Rong had been in love with Ji Qirui for eleven years. Even a dog would get used to you after all that time. But when the now-successful Mr. Ji was pressed by the media, he calmly replied with two words: “Not close.” “What is your relationship with Yu Rong, Mr. Ji? What do you think of his current downward spiral?” the media pressed relentlessly. On TV, Ji Qirui raised his head thoughtfully. “We're just old friends. I can't really comment. I hope he can take pride in whatever line of work he chooses. Debasing himself is also a way of life. Everyone makes different choices.” Yu Rong changed the channel. He didn't want to listen to a dog barking. - To pay off his debts, Yu Rong entered the modeling world. Millions of fans wept and begged him to put his clothes back on. Yu Rong understood. People loved seeing respectable folk enter the seedy world and fallen women turn respectable again. But then that bastard Ji Qirui showed up, drunk, and blocked his way, shouting in front of a crowd that he wanted to get back together. Yu Rong thought he was out of his mind. Ji Qirui blocked the car door and wouldn't let him leave. “If you're leaving, you'll have to run me over first!” Yu Rong: “...Then let me get in the car first.” Ji Qirui: “...” Yu Rong: “How can I run you over if I don't get in?” - Later, the media asked Yu Rong, who had tens of millions of fans around the world: “What's your relationship with Mr. Ji Qirui? What do you think of his post, ‘Wifey, I'm an idiot. Please come back’?” Yu Rong: “Not close? We're just old friends. This might be his way of life.” Late one night, an unknown number called him. The person on the other end gritted his teeth and said, “Yu Rong, what kind of friends are we? Friends with benefits?” - Later still. Yu Rong went outside and saw a bouquet of roses sent anonymously. Thinking it was from a fan, he picked it up and looked at the card. It was signed: From the dog. Theme: Self-reliance
