Let's Break Up

[Undergoing a major revision. The setting and outline remain unchanged]

"Lu Nian, let's break up."

Chen Xuyi said this calmly to his boyfriend.

-

Chen Xuyi had lived in an orphanage for as long as he could remember. To make sure he had enough to eat and wear, he became more sensible and mature than most children, and better at lying.

At sixteen, Chen Xuyi was adopted as the illegitimate son of the Chen family. His poverty-stricken life improved, but he became dependent on others and suffered at every turn.

The Chen family had another son, nominally his older brother. One day, he took Chen Xuyi to school and pointed out someone walking through the school gates, telling him to remember that face.

Chen Xuyi saw a boy full of youthful energy, like a young poplar among a crowd of students, and learned his name was Lu Nian.

The Chen and Lu families were business rivals, but the Lu family was well established. Their only point of leverage was the Lu family's most precious son.

So Chen Xuyi approached Lu Nian with an ulterior motive, got to know him, and then started dating him.

Chen Xuyi was a liar through and through. He told lie after lie during their relationship, sometimes unable to tell which of his own words were true and which were false.

Finally, after a year together, he asked to break up.

Young Lu Nian's eyes reddened. He asked Chen Xuyi not to leave.

Chen Xuyi didn't look back. He blocked Lu Nian on every platform and vanished without a trace overnight.

-

They met again five years later, in a rather undignified setting.

In a dimly lit private room at a bar, a group of wealthy young men sat around a man in the center. He was the most strikingly handsome of them all, with a cold, severe look. But his aura was menacing, his gaze dark, and he seemed utterly consuming.

As Chen Xuyi mixed a drink for him, Lu Nian playfully hooked a finger around his tie. "Are you the bartender here?"

"Yes, sir."

Lu Nian abruptly let go and smiled mockingly. "Do you offer any other services?"

Everyone around them understood and burst into laughter and jeers.

Chen Xuyi's expression didn't change, but he knew Lu Nian's revenge was about to begin.

Reader advisory

1. Written to indulge my personal tastes. I'm just writing for fun, and updates are irregular. Around 200,000 characters, barring surprises.

2. The first two chapters briefly cover the first half of the blurb, mainly providing backstory and showing how the top and bottom dated in high school. If you want to see the contrast in the top before and after, give them a read. If not, you can jump straight to their reunion in Chapter Three. Chapter Three also starts as the main story does, so you won't miss anything.

Blurb:

Song Mianchi is a little-known trainee in an un debuted boy group. When he was young and foolish, he used his cousin's secondary account to start an online relationship with a boy.

It began when he lost a game of truth or dare. His cousin posted a photo of his legs as a status update, and then a boy commented, "Is this you?"

His cousin handed him the secondary account and said, "He's looking for you."

Song Mianchi didn't want to deal with him, but the boy began pursuing him relentlessly, transferring money at the drop of a hat. Tempted by the money, Song Mianchi agreed.

Since the account belonged to a girl, Song Mianchi used a voice changer whenever they chatted. Their relationship seemed sweet, but it was all an act.

Just as Song Mianchi realized this wasn't right and decided to tell the truth and break up, he was notified that his boy group would be debuting.

Just before their debut, a bassist was suddenly added to the group. Rumor had it the company had brought him in using financial backing.

The bassist was named Ji Xiao. He was cold, arrogant, and completely straight.

At their first meeting in the practice room, Song Mianchi, the group's lead singer and leader, reached out to greet him.

Ji Xiao frowned almost imperceptibly and shook his hand casually.

Song Mianchi looked down and happened to notice a silver chain around Ji Xiao's wrist.

Huh? It looked familiar.

He looked again, then felt as though lightning had struck him, numb from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.

The silver chain was identical to the one his online boyfriend wore. It even had several metal letters spelling out the initials of his username.

Realizing he'd fallen for someone he shouldn't have, Song Mianchi didn't dare confess he was a man. He went back and came up with a random excuse to break up immediately.

-

Unfortunately, with daily rehearsals and tours keeping them in the same room, Song Mianchi and Ji Xiao couldn't avoid seeing each other. His secret identity was impossible to keep hidden.

backstage at one of their tour concerts, Ji Xiao pinned him against the wall and held up his phone, sneering. "Is this account called Mianmian Ice, the one whose girlfriend is me, yours?"

The next day, the trending topics exploded.

From the moment the boy group Pulse-five debuted, nobody in or outside the industry had high hopes for them.

The roles within the group were a mess, and the members didn't get along. They were neither a proper boy group nor a proper band, and their fans only supported their own favorites, constantly attacking each other.

The whole team was like a hastily assembled amateur troupe.

Then a fancam of their debut concert went viral overnight, racking up over a million views.
