My ex-girlfriend's best friends are getting restless right after the breakup.

Chapter 7 Goodbye! Be gentle!

Zhou Lingyan had invited a few close friends over for a housewarming party tonight, but she was so engrossed in watching Chen Bo sing that she forgot about it.

"I've invited some friends over for dinner tonight, it's a housewarming party. I'll go upstairs and get ready." Zhou Lingyan didn't flirt, but Chen Bo thought it looked like she was.

"Friends? Including Xu Yueqing?" Chen Bo asked casually.

Zhou Lingyan's face lit up with an excited smile: "Of course, she's my best friend!"

Meanwhile, at the villa across the street.

Xu Yueqing changed into a loose and comfortable light gray cashmere long dress, with a beige knitted cardigan over it. Barefoot on the soft carpet, she stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the first-floor living room, gazing at the gradually darkening sky in the courtyard.

Her body still felt uncomfortable; the soreness from overuse was like a persistent ailment, especially in a certain unspeakable area. Sitting down, standing up, or even just the slightest friction while walking would bring back vivid memories of those absurd and intense details from last night to this morning.

She should have been angry, but her mind was a jumbled mess, like a ball of yarn that had been scratched by a cat.

The phone screen was still lit, showing the chat interface with Zhou Lingyan.

She still can't quite believe that message, "Wait at home, I'll come pick you up."

Has the sun risen in the west?

That arrogant and antagonistic Zhou Lingyan actually offered to take her to a housewarming party?

Haven't their relationship already reached a freezing point, where they're all putting on a facade while secretly bickering?

Especially after Zhou Lingyan lost to her in the competition for that high-end luxury endorsement a month ago.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Xu Yueqing frowned, a faint unease rising in her heart.

But out of politeness, she replied "okay" to avoid her arch-nemesis telling her parents.

While waiting, her thoughts drifted uncontrollably to Chen Bo again.

Strange, she should be thinking of Lu Ze.

Lu Ze sent her a few more messages in the afternoon, inviting her to a niche concert the next night, along with a music review. His words were as elegant and precise as ever, with an artistic flair.

In the past, she would have looked forward to it, carefully selected her clothes, and done her homework in advance to make sure she could keep up with his conversation.

But now...

She looked at those messages, but surprisingly, she felt nothing.

It's even a bit annoying.

I find those convoluted adjectives a bit pretentious.

Instead, it was Chen Bo's slightly wicked smile and the bastards he said that kept getting into her head.

"I tried my best to make you laugh, but I lost to someone who made you cry..."

Last night, he used those words, along with his eyes that instantly dimmed as if they had truly shattered, to soften her heart completely, causing her defenses to crumble and leading her to accept what was not the last time.

Looking back now, that bastard was definitely acting!

He didn't look sad at all.

There was another line of poetry, something like that, which he whispered in her ear while she was still dizzy, in a low, husky voice, burning with passion: "The bright moon rises over the Tianshan Mountains, amidst the vast sea of ​​clouds. The long wind blows for tens of thousands of miles, passing through the Jade Gate Pass..."

I was immediately energized, feeling that the poem was magnificent and grand, carrying the desolation and grandeur of the frontier.

Then she agreed to his one last time.

Now that she's sober and thinking back, Xu Yueqing's cheeks flushed instantly.

That bastard is doing the most improper things while reciting the most proper poems!

But strangely enough, she seems to fall for it.

That bastard, if only he had done this three years ago!

Xu Yueqing, supporting her lower back, carefully walked to the wicker chair in the courtyard and sat down, letting the cool evening breeze dispel the heat from her face.

Before long, the sound of a car engine and the chattering laughter of girls could be heard outside the courtyard gate.

Xu Yueqing looked up and saw Zhao Lulu's pink sports car leading the way, followed by Bei Weiwei's white SUV and Li Man's understated but expensive black sedan.

Three cars parked in a row outside her villa.

The car door opened, and three glamorous, wealthy, and beautiful female friends got out one after another.

"Yueqing! I missed you so much!" Zhao Lulu was the first to rush in and hug her.

Xu Yueqing was startled: "No! Be gentle!"

She is like a piece of jade full of cracks; the slightest carelessness and she will shatter.

Zhao Lulu stopped the car and looked at her with a puzzled expression: "Yueqing, what's wrong? Are you hurt?"

"It's nothing, just a bit of a backache." Xu Yueqing turned her gaze to Li Man and Bei Weiwei, who were walking over from behind. "What are you two doing at my house?"

Li Man, dressed in a champagne-colored suit, exuded a gentle yet capable air. She smiled and said, "Lingyan told us to gather here first, saying she'd come pick us up so we could go to her housewarming party together."

Bei Weiwei, dressed casually but still able to conceal her beautiful figure, curiously looked at Xu Yueqing: "Yueqing, you don't look too well?"

Xu Yueqing's heart tightened, but she forced herself to remain calm: "She might have caught a cold. Lingyan is really something, always so secretive about where she lives."

"Who knows what she's up to this time," Zhao Lulu pouted, then became excited again. "But her new house must be gorgeous; she said the renovations cost this much!"

She gave an OK sign.

"Yueqing, where's Chen Bo?" Bei Weiwei asked curiously.

Zhao Lulu interjected, "Weiwei, I forgot to tell you, Yueqing said last month that they were about to break up. They should have broken up by now, right?"

She looked at Xu Yueqing.

Bei Weiwei was surprised. Why break up with such a handsome guy? Just looking at him provides emotional value.

If Chen Bo had pursued her back then, he wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble.

It won't take that long, three days will be enough.

Li Man also looked at Xu Yueqing with a puzzled expression.

Xu Yueqing didn't know how to answer. She wanted to say that they had broken up, but the words wouldn't come out.

All day long, Chen Bo was on her mind. No matter where she went in the house, it seemed like she could see Chen Bo's shadow everywhere.

Lingering.

The image of Lu Ze, her beloved, gradually faded from her mind, leaving her feeling lost and bewildered by this discovery.

Just as I was wondering how to start the conversation, a familiar figure appeared at the courtyard gate.

The person who arrived was Zhou Lingyan. She had changed her clothes and was wearing a wine-red velvet halter dress with a thin coat over it. She was wearing a pair of studded ankle boots. She looked both cool and beautiful, like a moving flame.

"Oh, everyone's here?" Zhou Lingyan leaned against the gate frame, arms crossed, his gaze sweeping over the four women in the courtyard before finally settling on Xu Yueqing. A smile played on his lips. "Yueqing, have you been waiting long?"

Xu Yueqing looked at Zhou Lingyan in front of her and felt uneasy.

This girl, usually when I see her she's either sarcastic or directly confronts me, but today her smile is so radiant.
