What Should I Do About My Ex Who Keeps Picking Fights?

[A slow-witted, poker-faced sweetheart 🥰🐈 x a tsundere who wears his heart on his sleeve 🤯🦚 / Agent x Producer]

[Rekindled romance, bickering couple, long-laid plans, fated love]

Huai An moves into the new home provided by her company and discovers that her neighbor often doesn't get home until the middle of the night, waking her up every time.

She decides to go talk some sense into the person responsible.

But the moment the door opens, she comes face-to-face with someone familiar: her high school classmate, Chi Er.

And not only is he someone she knows, he's also the ex-boyfriend she dumped without warning.

She never thought she'd run into him again in this lifetime, so she awkwardly turns and walks away.

But from then on, this "new neighbor" keeps finding ways to make trouble for her...

"Huai An, lend me a chair."

"No. My plastic stool isn't good enough for your jadeite-and-luxury-stone table."

"Huai An, I'm hungry. Make me something to eat."

"No. What if I poison you? I couldn't afford to pay for that."

"Huai An, what if you bring some strange man home and put my personal safety at risk? I'm reporting you to the property manager!"

"Go ahead. Worst case, I'll pack up and leave."

Huai An is exasperated. It's hard not to believe he's deliberately picking a fight, but she was the one who did wrong back then, so it's only natural for him to be angry.

She can put up with the occasional little annoyance, but one night Chi Er goes too far. He drags her into his home and asks if she wants to get back together. The light is dim, and they are so close they're almost kissing. His warm breath brushes against her sensitive neck, and Huai An's heart pounds.

See? This petty man has no intention of letting her off the hook. If he's asking to get back together now, he'll probably cheat on her later. He must want her to experience what it's like to be dumped.

So Huai An hesitantly asks, "Can't we just call it even between us? Could we pretend you were the one who broke up with me back then?"

Chi Er sneers and grips her waist with one hand. "Who's calling it even? We'll never be even, not in a lifetime."
