Breaking up, regardless of the incomprehensible words that came before, Jiang Yizhou ultimately confirmed this one fact.
Sadness?
Or sorrow?
Or perhaps relief?
Faced with this sudden change, he didn't know why. After all, he had never regarded love as something to pursue.
From the very beginning, he had been passively dragged along by that seemingly inexhaustible girl, running and running, only to find that what he owed was increasing more and more. Eventually, they naturally became a couple, but he never felt that he understood this thing.
Hadn't he thought about using superb flirting techniques to arrange his harem perfectly? Of course he had. He imagined himself wearing the protagonist's halo, with countless women bowing to him, crying out to be accepted.
It truly was a man's dream, but it was destined to be deceptive because love is inherently exclusive and idealized, allowing for little flaw or deceit.
However, in this distorted relationship, the man at the center held far more weight in the hearts of the women chasing him than that of an ordinary lover.
The sound of a phone ringing came from the coat pocket lying nearby. Jiang Yizhou temporarily shook off his emotions, set aside the letter, and had no desire to tidy up the absurd mess left behind as he answered the call.
"Hello," a light and lively voice came through. Yu Jinghong glanced at the hurried pedestrians on the roadside and at the trees gradually shedding their leaves. She spoke to the man on the other end of the line, "Jiang Yizhou, nothing happened later, right?"
The name Jiang Yizhou flowed much more smoothly than Yi Zhou, giving it a casual feel—like a friendly tease that avoided excessive intimacy.
"..." Jiang Yizhou felt his body slowly warming up while his heart remained cold. He didn't know what to say. Did my girlfriend just break up with me and call me after a breakup?
"Is there something you need?" After a long silence, he simply asked.
Looking at the dial pad, Yu Jinghong sensed that Jiang Yizhou's mood was off. She didn't press further but maintained a calm smile and joked, "Actually, I just wanted to clarify that your house has too many security vulnerabilities. The wall is a bit low; someone could easily climb over it. Plus, there are too many windows in your house. Just last night, I noticed three windows left open. You should pay more attention!"
Jiang Yizhou wasn't in much of a mood right now; he just wanted to find somewhere warm—whether it was under blankets or in a woman's ample embrace. But for now, he didn't want to trouble anyone; he preferred to quietly take a nap here instead.
"Well, I understand. I'll contact you in a couple of days. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up!" The fatigue and discomfort from his body constantly urged him to fall into slumber.
"Wait... Alright, are you sick? How about I come see you this afternoon?" Yu Jinghong also sensed the man's aloofness and merely suggested a visit.
"Do as you wish! But I might not be able to get up to open the door for you." After hearing this, there was only the busy tone on the line.
If he doesn't open the door, I'll just climb in; it's not the first time!
Putting the receiver back, she politely gestured to the man behind her, who seemed somewhat flustered and quickly averted his gaze before stepping forward to insert the Phone Card.
Looks like I still have my charm!
Because Jiang Yizhou always boasted about how beautiful she would be in twenty years, while completely ignoring how she looked now, which made her quite indignant.
What kind of person is he really?
From what she knew, she had at least seen three sides of him. The first was the reserved, appreciative, and magnanimous demeanor he showed when facing her, as if his gaze was already directed towards the future. The second was the self-absorbed and arrogant look he had last night, lost in beauty. The third was the loneliness and sense of detachment that seeped through his words now.
Isn't it interesting?
However, for now, she needed to rent a place and settle down; living in a hotel or crashing at a friend's house wasn't ideal.
...
After hanging up the phone, he called his assistant Shen Qing to clarify the situation and asked her to buy some cold and fever medicine before wrapping himself up tightly in his blankets again.
It seemed like he would live a luxurious life from then on, with endless money to spend on games, merchandise, and more. He could just slowly drift through life while investing in future famous companies based on memories in his mind...
The most challenging part of being reborn is this: if one wants to build a career, there are naturally many difficulties and obstacles. People dislike you, and various problems arise—especially in real estate, which heavily relies on connections. That's why he never touched it.
However, if all he wanted was to make money, for someone like him who had read countless rebirth stories, from Hong Kong in the 70s and 80s to mainland China in the 90s, as well as from the late 90s until before his rebirth concerning the Internet and real estate—having read dozens of rebirth stories meant there were certainly plenty of ways to make money.
Especially now that he has already earned his first pot of gold, it lacks difficulty if he only wants to make money without involving anything else.
Life is already so beautiful, but for him, Ding Zhengnan's sudden departure, although it does not make him particularly sad, forces him to confront reality.
So this is what loss feels like. Although in this illusory relationship, it was always the girl chasing after him, leading to a lack of significant disappointment when losing her. Instead, he only feels a straightforward jealousy.
Who will the girl that once belonged solely to him belong to in the future? How many people must she go through before finding true love? Imagining that unbearable future, if she walks up to him with another boyfriend, he would probably punch that man in the face!
But that's all there is to it, because he has no responsibility or right to choose his ex-girlfriend's future boyfriend or interfere in her life.
He never doubted the reason for his girlfriend's departure; wasn't it obvious? The boyfriend openly brought another woman home, and it was just short of putting both girlfriends in the same bed. Isn't that a reason for breaking up?
At most, he would be surprised as to why his once spirited girlfriend didn’t cry, throw a tantrum, or beat him up while pleading for him to stay. Instead, after spending several wonderful nights together, she quietly left without a word.
This calm before the storm made Jiang Yizhou mistakenly believe it was due to his charm; now it seems laughable.
He suddenly finds himself liking this decisive woman. She didn’t cling or complicate things and gave him the perfect farewell while making him realize his possessive desires.
