My brand-new boyfriend was too cold. I couldn't take it anymore. Just as I was about to break up with him, floating text like a Twitch chat stream suddenly appeared in the air. [Is the Villainess crazy? She chased him for a year and now she's dumping him after three months?] [Poor Male Lead. Just fell in love and getting dumped. Good thing he meets the Heroine later who loves him wholeheartedly.] [Honestly, I get the Villainess. The Male Lead is getting colder by the day.] [What do you know? The Male Lead loves her to death! If she just hooked her finger, he'd come crawling like a dog to serve her. She's so dumb at dating. She deserves to lose him to the Heroine.] Him? Crawling like a dog? Serving me? What kind of dog waits for a signal to lick? I don't want a mute dog. I broke up with him right then and there. I thought he would beg me to stay, like the floating text said. Instead, he stayed glued to his computer screen, fingers flying across the keyboard. Without even looking up, he gave a faint, "Oh. Okay." So much for the dog. 01 I knew I shouldn't have expected much. But his total indifference still stung. A whole year! I stalked him, pestered him, and wore him down until he finally agreed to date me. Breaking up after three months? Honestly, I didn't want to. He was just so my type. The first time I saw him, he was on stage at freshman orientation—clean-cut, fresh, like an anime character come to life. I was hooked instantly. I swore I would make him mine. And I did. But after we got together, he was just... frigid. Hold hands? "Too hot." Hug? "Uncomfortable." Kiss? "I don't like the taste of saliva." Who could stand that? I felt like he just didn't like me. Not only did he not like me, he seemed repulsed. Everything I gave him disappeared within days. When I asked, it was "lost" or "don't remember where I put it." Yeah, right. He definitely threw them away! Seeing me stand there for a long time, he finally looked up. "Something else?" "...No." "Then why are you still here?" Is that something a human being says? Rushing me out right after a breakup? This is called "loving me to death"? This is called "finally getting rid of the clingy girl"! I was about to curse him out when my phone rang. It was my roommate, Chloe. "Maya said we're going to The Vault for her birthday tonight. Bring your boyfriend?" I glanced at him and sneered, "Not bringing him. Just broke up. Send me the location." Forget it. If there's a party, I'm not wasting time on him. I hung up and turned to leave. Suddenly, he called out, "Wait." Right then, a line of text floated by. [He's panicking! The Male Lead thinks the Villainess is going to the club to hook up, so he's gonna stop her!] Really? He regrets it? I couldn't help but smirk, a little flicker of hope and nervousness in my chest. I turned around slowly, chin up, looking down at him. "What?" He frowned. "Did you finish the materials for next week's seminar?" "?" 02 "Did you make the roll-up banner?" "Did you write the meeting agenda?" "What about the reception plan? Is the logistics team ready?" A rapid-fire interrogation like a machine gun left me stunned. So he yelled to stop me just to assign me work? A lump formed in my throat. I tried to suppress my anger. "Didn't do any of it. So what?" "Do it now." "I have plans tonight. I'll do it tomorrow." "No." I gritted my teeth and took a deep breath. "Fine. I'll do it." I glared at him and pushed the door to leave. He called out again. "Do it here." I exploded. "Seriously? Ethan! If I send you the results before midnight, isn't that enough?" His frown deepened. "Jessa, the meeting is next Monday. It's Friday and you haven't finished. What do you think?" I decided to be difficult. "Didn't bring my laptop. Can't do it." "Use mine." I laughed in disbelief. The chat stream was loving the drama. [LMAO. Male Lead is so stubborn. He clearly doesn't want to break up and doesn't want her going to the club, so he's using work as an excuse.] [The Villainess is being difficult too. He's trying to keep her there, just take the hint.] Stubborn? Keeping me there? I believe it? It's not my first day knowing him. He, Ethan Cole, head of the External Relations Department, is famous for high standards and high efficiency. Forcing team members to work overtime is his hobby! I knew this too well from when I was chasing him and volunteered as free labor. He has zero lingering affection for me. It's all about work! We broke up, and I still have to take this crap? I'll finish this job and quit the department! The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. I cursed him under my breath while working. He maintained his icy attitude perfectly. Ignoring my muttering, he stared at me until I finished everything before letting me go. Before leaving, I took out my phone and deleted him from WeChat right in front of him. "Let's delete each other. I'll resign with the team leader next week. Don't contact me again." He watched my operation and gave a lukewarm "Hmm." 03 Early the next morning, I submitted my resignation to the team leader. She rejected it immediately and tried to persuade me earnestly. "Jessa, finals are coming up, and the department is swamped. Can you please help out and finish this semester before leaving? Please!" When I joined External Relations to chase Ethan, the team leader helped me a lot. She always thought I wanted to pad my resume, so she helped me out. She had no idea I was purely lovestruck. It would be uncool to leave her hanging now. I reluctantly agreed. It's just another month or two. I can endure it. As long as I don't have too much contact with Ethan. The team leader thanked me profusely. Then she immediately sent me a file. "This is the corporate info we just negotiated. Look it over, make a proposal, and report to the Minister." "..." When I was chasing him, it was so hard to see him. Now that we broke up, I can't shake him off? Truly mystical. But I deleted him. How do I report? No choice but to find him in person. I asked around and found him in a cafe. I sat down opposite him, deliberately interrupting his call. "Minister, I have a report." He glanced up at me. He whispered an apology to the person on the phone: "I'll contact you later." Then he signaled me: "Sit over here." I turned my head. "No." "How can you report without looking at the computer?" "You look. I don't need to. It's all in my head." He lowered his eyes, his expression darkening, lips pressed into a thin line. Oh, angry? So what? What are you gonna do? Am I afraid of you? After the report, he had a lot of edits. I stayed silent, just nodding. The moment he finished and I turned to leave, he quickly grabbed me. "Don't run. Change it here." I cursed his entire family in my mind. Gritting my teeth: "Got it." Halfway through the edits, he shoved his phone in my face. "Add me back. I have materials to send you." He was all business. Arguing would make me look petty. As I was changing his nickname, I noticed his Moments (social feed) had actually updated. And it was posted one minute ago! I clicked it and my pupils dilated. It was a mirror selfie of him shirtless! 04 The veins on his lean muscles were distinct, and the sexy V-line disappeared into his loose sweatpants. But his face was cold. Completely opposite to his usual refined, gentle look. Extreme contrast, full of sexual tension. He wasn't like this when we were together. Why is he so slutty right after breaking up? This is blatantly seductive! Who is he posting this for? That destined "Heroine"? I've known him so long and never saw his body! Which lucky girl is eating this good? I glared at him with jealousy. In broad daylight, in a public place, how can he post this kind of photo! He looked at me puzzled: "What's wrong? Tired of editing?" Right then, text floated by. [Tsk tsk! Male Lead is really going for it! Wants her back but dares not say it, so the moment she adds him back, he posts a thirst trap to seduce the Villainess!] ? When we kissed before, I touched him twice and he dodged. He would actively show me this stuff? I don't believe it. I opened the picture and held it up to his eyes. "Posted for me to see?" His eyes moved slightly, but he didn't speak. What, flirting right after breaking up and got caught, so you dare not admit it? I spoke nicely: "Just say it if it is, it's okay, I won't be mad." He paused: "No." Then it's for another woman! I knew it! What bullshit floating text! Talking nonsense all day! Can you possibly know him better than I do? I smiled: "That's good, otherwise I'd be quite troubled. I hate men who post thirsty photos like this, indecently posting mess online, it's quite disgusting." The angrier I am, the more toxic my mouth gets. His face changed suddenly, jawline tight. Neither of us spoke again. I finished the proposal, sent it to him, and left. That night, possessed by some ghost, I opened his WeChat again. The post was gone. The text floated up. [Male Lead is so pitiful, scolded into shutting down. Been sad all day, still reflecting in the cafe.] [Although the Villainess isn't the endgame, the Male Lead is so cowardly, I'm anxious too!] [Exactly, the Villainess got mad and he deleted it immediately. Wanted to apologize, edited in the chat box for half a day, didn't dare send a word, afraid of saying something wrong again. He still hasn't figured out why she dumped him.] I sneered internally. He deleted the post because he was worried the girl he was flirting with would hate thirsty guys. Still at the cafe? Of course, because he's a grinder, studying late. What is the stream fantasizing about? Idiots.
