"Xiao Yue, I want to break up with you!"
Within Rookie Station of the Ocean University, a busy figure froze abruptly, like a spinning top.
He stared dazedly at the phone screen as if a terrible catastrophe had been announced.
His heart felt stabbed, causing such pain that Xiao Yue could barely breathe.
His hand was trembling like a sieve, and tears fell against his will.
Two years and six months, a full two years and six months of emotion, and it's all gone just like that?
Just now, Xiao Yue saw with his own eyes as Liu Jingjing got into a shiny Audi car.
Then, he thought he was seeing things, but he wasn't...
"Why are you breaking up..."
Xiao Yue held back his heartache, trembling as he typed those few words, but the reply was a cold exclamation mark.
"You have been blacklisted by the other party."
"Darn..."
Xiao Yue felt a sudden sharp pain in his heart, and instantly, it was as if all his strength had been drained.
Liu Jingjing's breakup was both swift and ruthless, not giving him the slightest chance.
In her eyes, dumping Xiao Yue was akin to throwing away trash, without any guilt.
Xiao Yue had given his heart and soul for her!
Is it possible that I've been reduced to nothing, and have to be treated so rudely by you?
Tears dripped onto the screen of the cell phone. Xiao Yue, crouched in a corner and wiping his tears, the desolation of this scene unseen.
Finally managing to calm down, he, as if under some strange spell, clicked open her social media feed.
The feed hadn’t refreshed yet, a new post was clearly visible:
"Received such a high-grade gift for the first time. Han Zhiyuan, I love you to death!"
Attached was a photo taken inside an Audi car, a large bouquet of roses, and a designer bag that clearly looked expensive.
"Han Zhiyuan..."
Xiao Yue's heart was brutally wrung once again.
Yes, these past two years, Xiao Yue hadn’t given any expensive gifts to Liu Jingjing, but what he had given her was the best he could within his abilities.
Xiao Yue wasn't particularly wealthy, but to buy her a new phone, he delivered packages by day, and food at night, working tirelessly like a dog.
For a college student, how hard it must be.
And who would have known that Liu Jingjing could so ruthlessly push him aside just for a designer bag?
Reflecting on all the effort he had put into her, Xiao Yue wished he could slap his own face.
More than Liu Jingjing's betrayal, he hated his own foolishness.
Of course, there was also that damned Han Zhiyuan!
Xiao Yue's eyes bulged wide open, his painful expression twisting his face.
He wasn't clear about Han Zhiyuan's background, but he silently swore in his heart that he would definitely make the pair, this adulterous couple, regret it bitterly!
With a weak toss, he threw down his cellphone and fumblingly pushed open the door of the Rookie Express Station.
Outside, the rain was pouring heavily. Xiao Yue let the icy rain wash over his body, as though he wanted to numb the pain in his heart with the bone-chilling cold.
After returning to his pitiful little apartment, Xiao Yue lay on his bed for three straight days and nights without eating or drinking, like a corpse.
It wasn't until the third night that his condition had somewhat improved.
Just then, an inexplicable mechanical voice suddenly exploded in his mind:
[The Tycoon Sign-in System is activating...]
[Activation complete!]
[Face the sun, fear not the rain. You can sign in once daily. Friendly reminder: Rewards vary with different check-in locations~]
[You haven't checked-in today, do you want to?]
Not having eaten or drunk anything for three days, and now he was hearing things?
Xiao Yue thought he had finally gone mad.
Just how much pain must he go through to start having such hallucinations?
"【Host has not signed in today, would you like to sign in?】"
The system persistently inquired once again.
At this moment, a sudden, intense hunger panged him.
Xiao Yue abruptly realized, this was utterly real!
As a typical handsome boy, Xiao Yue had read quite a few web novels, hence he was familiar with the set-up of a "system".
He didn't expect that this time the system would descend upon him!
Although he was a bit flabbergasted, he still didn't hesitate to say "yes".
The next second, the system started running.
"【Ding Dong! Today's sign-in was successful!】"
