A brief silence ensued on the phone.
After two seconds, Zhou Yunyan's voice, tinged with fatigue, came through, "I don't know what I did to upset her, but she's making a fuss about breaking up with me."
He chuckled bitterly, "She probably won't listen to me right now."
"Is she with you and Yuyu?"
"You help me keep an eye on her, don't let her run off," Zhou Yunyan pled in return, "I'll try to get back as soon as possible."
"I've still got things to do on my end, I'm hanging up first."
Chu You punched the cotton, a rare hint of frustration surfacing.
He tossed aside his phone and rubbed his temples.
In the bedroom, Nian Yuyu was unaware that her boyfriend was feeling down because his complaint had been unsuccessful.
She and Jiang Jingyun were sprawled on the bed, each hugging a plush toy.
Jiang Jingyun had shed her usual upbeat demeanor, which could annoy Chu You to death, and now appeared somewhat dejected.
"I messaged Zhou Yunyan this morning about breaking up."
