Chapter 1

Kelly Campbell only realized two hours later that I was no longer around.Her ringtone was a foreign rock song. I disliked it and had even joked on several occasions that she should change it to the chill music I preferred.Kelly was repulsed. Her cold tone made the song replay in my head."Must I do everything you say?"Feeling awkward, I immediately apologized.Just now, my best friend, Hayden Zachary, had posted to his social media.[LOL! I've listened to that song I recommended to some idiot three months ago so many times that I'm sick of it, yet she's still using it.]Kelly had replied three minutes ago.[Who are you calling an idiot?!]Hayden had replied quickly: [I'm talking about you!]My phone kept ringing with incoming calls.I suddenly felt like laughing. How could she string two men along at the same time?Noticing that I did not answer her calls, she switched to texting me.Kelly kept complaining: [Where on earth have you gone? Stop making a fuss, okay? It's l

While waiting for the water to heat up in the bathroom, Hayden updated his social media again.[I tried out a new popular milk tea place. A good buddy of mine queued for an hour, but the taste was just mid. I took a sip and gave the rest to someone else to enjoy.]That someone else was clearly Kelly, who was smiling slightly at the camera.I never knew that my girlfriend, who was so germaphobic that she refused to even share a cup with me, would drink from another man's drink.I softly sighed and liked the post. Then I called my boss, Greg Simpson. "Mr. Simpson, I regret turning you down earlier. Can I still take on that project?"Greg was surprised but mostly relieved. "You've finally come to your senses! If you do this project well, you’ll be promoted twice when you get back! It’ll just be one year abroad. Believe me, one year is nothing if it's true love."I smiled and did not refute. That relationship had already ended.I slowly finished my hot bath.When I came out, Hayden

After a while, Kelly asked me to bring her some pajamas.I brought over a set. As I pushed the door open, Kelly quickly put her phone down. She smiled at me, her face wet. "Thank you."The door was closed again with a swoosh.I did not leave.A few seconds later, I heard sounds from inside.Hayden laughed loudly. "Why are you acting like we're having an affair?"Kelly responded, her voice a little lazy, "Don't you know how your good buddy is? He's so petty."Hayden snorted and answered lewdly, "Hurry up and show me your abs! I've never seen a girl with them before."Kelly feigned anger. "You pervert!"...I did not finish listening to the rest.Kelly returned an hour later.Her face was flushed, and her eyes gleamed like burning flames. It was obvious she was aroused.Before I could turn the lights off, Kelly lunged at me.I reached out my hand to block her, my tone indifferent. "We don't have condoms."Kelly paused and blurted instinctively, "Hayden said it's okay durin

Hayden went still, looking embarrassed, as if he had not expected me to come out and confront him directly.Kelly frowned. "You two fought? When?"I looked at her and uttered, "It was just four days ago. He wanted to come with me to see you, but I refused."Unwilling to accept my answer, he went to see Kelly before I met her to retaliate against me."Is that all?" Kelly was still in disbelief.That was not the only incident. Over the past year, Hayden had been constantly interfering with my time with Kelly.Whenever I wanted to go to see her, Hayden would pester me to go on a trip with him or ask me to help him because he was sick. When I bought Kelly and myself matching couple rings, he would always buy a similar one and wear it.I was not stupid, so I politely cut ties with him.However, I never expected that someone could be so shameless.Hayden slowly stood up, as if feeling helpless. His voice was soft. "I’m sorry. I'll leave."With a thud, Kelly jumped up, knocking over

Chapter 5

"Xavier, where did you go? Why did the landlady say you moved away? Where did you go? Why didn't you wait for me? Did you know that I waited for you for three hours?" Kelly was filled with resentment and anger.After she finished venting, I suddenly replied, "Kelly, I waited for you for ten hours that day. It was freezing, and my feet got frostbitten. Do you know how I felt?"She fell silent, leaving only her rapid breathing.I looked at the streets of France and pulled my clothes tight around me. "On my way back, the driver told me that there had been a robbery at the station the day before. Surely you knew about it, since you live there.”Thinking back to how I felt at the time, my eyes welled up with tears. "But you still left me there by myself for ten hours! I thought something had happened to you and was about to call the police, but you and Hayden were just chatting and laughing when I got your call. I felt so pathetic.""Xavier..." Kelly's voice was choked with emotion.I

The pace of life in France was slower than I imagined. Apart from my tight work schedule, I had complete freedom in my free time.During the holidays, I wandered around Europe and made some new friends.Although there were some cultural differences, we got along well. They also helped me improve my spoken French.A French girl named Diana Davignon told me, "If you want to improve your French quickly, just find a French girlfriend."As soon as she said that, a French girl nearby ‘signed up’. "Xavier, count me in!"Everyone laughed heartily at the joke. I pretended to think for a moment. "I'll consider it."However, fate seemed not to want me to be happy.I saw Kelly waiting by my door when I returned home that night.She seemed to have been waiting for me for a long time. When she stood up, her legs wobbled a few steps. "You're back."She reached out to take the bag beside me, something she had never done before.I did not refuse. Silently, I stepped forward and opened the doo

Chapter 7

Kelly looked up, her face pale as she felt dizzy for a moment. After steadying herself for a while, she stood up and gave me a pale smile. "I respect your decision. I won't bother you anymore, but I will always wait for you."Her face bore the familiar stubbornness I knew so well.I frowned, wanting to persuade her otherwise.However, Kelly did not give me the chance. She turned and walked out the door.She was slender and tall, but she looked lonely and desolate on this night.She really kept her word. She never came to see me again.However, Hayden called me a month later. "What exactly did you tell her?"His voice was filled with uncharacteristic anger. "Why did she block me and move away? You dumped her. Why did you drag me into this?”He cried out in a low voice toward the end, "I really liked her."What did that have to do with me?"This is your own fault. It has nothing to do with me.""No!" Hayden reacted quickly as he sniffed. Half-commanding and half-pleading, he a
