My Ex Went Dark After I Ran Away from Being His Stand-In

Song Xi is a calculating person. Ever since she was little, she knew that if she never fought for anything, nobody would ever notice her.

Now, her opportunity had finally arrived.

The campus belle, who looked a little like her, was about to go abroad to study, leaving behind a group of heartbroken admirers who had never managed to win her over. One of them was a target Song Xi had picked out long ago.

She put on a white dress, applied a carefully crafted natural-looking makeup, and gave her reflection a faint smile.

Her roommate gave her a big thumbs-up, as if to say, "Your acting is absolutely incredible."

He Yue was on his way to the basketball court when the corner of his eye caught a flash of white.

He walked past without a second thought, but the next moment, he heard a cry of surprise. He instinctively looked toward the sound and saw a girl lying on the ground, her knee scraped and beads of blood welling up.

Out of basic human decency, he went over and asked, "Are you okay?"

The girl raised her face to him. Her features were somewhat similar, and that familiar air left He Yue momentarily dazed.

The girl hissed softly. "I... I'm fine." Her voice was just as gentle and soft.

He Yue came to his senses and crouched down. "I'll take you to the infirmary."

Song Xi was He Yue's girlfriend for three years.

After the three years were up, the campus belle returned from abroad, and they broke up.

Song Xi was the one who brought it up.

After all, by then, she'd made all the money she could.

And she'd chosen well. Even after they broke up, He Yue generously transferred her a six-figure breakup payment.

Years later, He Yue saw Song Xi again outside a club.

The gentle girl who never showed her teeth when she smiled was dead drunk, repeatedly slapping her friend's arm. "Why are you leaving? Keep drinking! You ran off so fast. Don't tell me you don't like today's male models?"

She didn't notice that her friend was trembling with fear.

He Yue walked over and called his ex-girlfriend by name. "Song Xi."

The woman stared blearily at him. "Who are you?"

She actually didn't remember the boyfriend she'd dated for three years.

He Yue looked at her friend.

The friend jolted, promptly handed Song Xi over to the man, and ran off.

The handsome, refined man put an arm around his ex-girlfriend's waist. "He Yue."

His clear eyes gradually darkened. His slightly calloused fingertips brushed her neck, making her squirm uncomfortably and try to pull away.

He tightened his grip, then finally held the back of Song Xi's head and forced her to look up at him. "This time, remember."
