Chen Zexi shook his head in disdain. He turned around and smiled again. “Alright, it’s fine now.”

“Thank you.”

After Su Yunxiu thanked him, she did not ask why he was there. After all, she was not the only one who could be there. There was nothing wrong with him coming over to sing.

Just as she was about to leave, Chen Zexi stopped her.

“Wait a minute. Miss Su doesn’t seem to be in a good mood. Did something happen?”

“No, it’s just that my fake eyelashes fell out of my eyes and I felt uncomfortable for a while.”

Of course, Chen Zexi would not believe such a low-level lie. He wanted to stall for some time to buy Yu Wenci a chance.

Just as he was about to speak, Su Yunxiu’s phone in her pocket vibrated. The girl lowered her eyes. It was a call from Xu Mu.

After hesitating for a while, she finally picked up the phone.

Chen Zexi tactfully turned around and walked a few steps away, but his ears pricked up to listen carefully.

“Xiuxiu, it’s my birthday today. Where are you? Can’t you come?” There was a hint of reproach in his words, not realizing that they had been in a cold war before this.

“Xu Mu.” Su Yunxiu did not answer his question. The moment she closed her eyes, she took a deep breath and said in a much calmer tone, “Let’s break up.”

Xu Mu paused and chuckled. “Su Yunxiu, stop joking. Do you want to break up with me over such a small matter? What are you doing?”

Su Yunxiu’s face was still wet with tears. Initially, she still had some hope in her heart, but when she heard his last line, it turned into ashes. Her entire person fell into an unprecedented calm.

She laughed at herself. “I’m not joking. Let’s break up.”

“Reason?” Xu Muwen asked.

Su Yunxiu said, “I’m tired and don’t want to continue.”

She did not want to watch his hypocritical performance anymore.

“Where are you? I’ll go talk to you.”

“No need. You still have friends to attend to, so it’s not convenient for you to leave. I’ll go back to the apartment tomorrow. We’ll talk tomorrow.”

Her things were still there. She would definitely have to go back and get them and move out of the apartment. As for the rest, she would think about it tomorrow. She had yet to think of how to face Xu Mu.

Su Yunxiu would recall Chu Feng’s words whenever he saw him.

“Okay,” Xu Mu agreed.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now. Xu Mu… Happy Birthday.”

The girl’s voice was very soft and filled with powerlessness as if she would disappear in the next second.

This was the last time she would say happy birthday to him.

Xu Mu suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He was about to ask where she was, but before he could say anything, she hung up the phone. Looking at the black phone screen, the uneasiness in his heart did not dissipate. Instead, it became stronger and stronger. He vaguely felt that something was leaving him.

This feeling of losing control was not good. The frustration in his heart grew stronger.

Su Yunxiu silently touched her face, thinking that she would cry. It turned out that when a person was extremely sad, they could really not cry.

However, there was a heaviness in her heart. The past four years rushed into her mind. After thanking Chen Zexi, the girl left expressionlessly.

Chen Zexi was a little anxious behind her. He didn’t know if he should follow her. If he followed her, wouldn’t Old Yu’s trip be in vain if he couldn’t find him after reaching? What if something happened to a girl like her if he didn’t follow her?

After witnessing her combat strength just now, he knew that she was not weak. However, it was still easy for girls to be at a disadvantage in the middle of the night.

Just as he couldn’t think of an answer, Yu Wenci arrived in a hurry. His expression was as anxious as he had ever seen.

“Where is she?”

Chen Zexi: “G-Gone.”

“You let her go alone? What if something happens?” Anger appeared on Yu Wenci’s usually gentle face. He pursed his lips slightly and pressed them down slightly. His Adam’s apple moved up and down as he tried his best to control his surging blood.

When he received Chen Zexi’s message, he rushed over from the road. He did not expect to be a step too late. That girl should not have taken the elevator down. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to not have met her.

“She hasn’t gone far. It’s not too late to chase after her.”

Yu Wenci no longer hesitated. He turned around and left.

No, it should be said that he had run off.

Chen Zexi stood there in a daze for a few seconds. “Hey, Old Yu, wait for me. Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?”

He didn’t even have time to tell him what he knew.

At this moment, he was glad that his legs weren’t so long for nothing. He could barely keep up with Yu Wenci’s pace.

Outside, the streets were crowded with people. Yu Wenci searched for a long time but did not see Su Yunxiu. Chen Zexi was panting, but the man beside him did not even pant.

“She’s gone? Where could she have gone? She just broke up with someone and should be in a daze. Why don’t you call Lin Qingwan and ask her?”

Yu Wenci didn’t move. If a person wanted to hide, even if he called Lin Qingwan to ask for help, the young lady might choose to hide her troubles so that Lin Qingwan wouldn’t worry. This method didn’t work.

“Why aren’t you reacting at all? She’s sad now. Aren’t you worried that the young lady will do something in agitation? For example…”

“For example, slitting her wrist and swallowing sleeping pills.” The more Chen Zexi spoke, the more ridiculous it became.

He had seen the news several times. When girls go through breakups, many of them couldn’t recover from it.

“Shut up, stop being noisy.” Yu Wenci interrupted him, his eyes cold. “Can’t you hope for something good?”

Chen Zexi: “Yes, yes, yes. Alright, I’ll shut up.”

Yu Wenci thought for a moment and asked, “You said… she broke up with her boyfriend?”

“That’s right! I don’t know what happened, but her boyfriend called and she said that she wanted to break up. She was very calm. She was too calm.”

Often, this was the most terrifying and worrying thing.

When Yu Wenci heard this news, he didn’t know if he should be glad or sad.

Fortunately, the girl was alone, which meant that he could take action. What was sad was that she was nowhere to be found.

A guess instantly appeared in the man’s mind. He quickly hammered Chen Zexi’s shoulder and threw the keys at him. “Drive. I know where she might be.”

“Huh? Why don’t you drive yourself?” Chen Zexi asked subconsciously.

“If I drive, would you have to have the guts to be in the car?”

He was burning with anxiety and only wanted to reach the girl quickly. At this time, the cars on the street were at their peak. With his current mentality, he should not be driving.

He still wanted to see the sun tomorrow and did not want anything to happen. After Chen Zexi understood, he silently took the driver’s seat and drove.
