On a long-forgotten evening, Xu Xing strolled through the bustling streets, but unease churned within her. Years had passed, yet she unexpectedly crossed paths with Kang Chen. He stood there, confident and poised, as if time had left no mark on him. Xu Xing's heart clenched, memories flooding back like a tidal wave, intertwining all her past feelings and regrets. Her first instinct was to turn and run, like a frightened little bird. Back then, she had been indifferent to Kang Chen, seemingly oblivious to his deep affection. At that time, she had felt carefree, even considering him a rather dull person. Now, however, Kang Chen's brilliance was blinding, making her feel suffocated. He had become someone she could never aspire to reach, while she herself felt battered and defeated by the passage of time. Xu Xing chuckled bitterly, realizing that her past disregard had now transformed into an unbearable weight on her heart. Just as she hesitated, torn between fleeing or staying, Kang Chen, with an air of calm, bent down slightly and said, “Come on, let me help you reach.” His teasing tone cut through the fog of her thoughts like the morning sun piercing through clouds. Xu Xing froze, momentarily at a loss, as he seemed to be the familiar yet distant person she once knew. --- **Little Theatre 1** “God bear witness, I might be poor and have lost my memory while sitting in jail, but I know I’m a good girl,” Xu Xing joked, trying to mask her embarrassment with humor. “God isn’t particularly inclined to bear witness,” Kang Chen replied, his tone light but with a hint of mischief in his eyes. “…And I’m not particularly eager to let you into my room,” Xu Xing responded with a smile, though inside she struggled to maintain her façade. She wanted to appear fearless, but facing Kang Chen always made it hard to pretend. --- **Little Theatre 2** The day they broke up was painful for Xu Xing, yet she refused to back down, bravely declaring as she left the grand estate, “Whoever backs down first is the loser!” However, the third day after their breakup coincided with Singles' Day. Xu Xing, full of enthusiasm, set her alarm to wake up at midnight for the big sales, hoping shopping could fill the void in her heart. The next day, as she checked her order status, dizziness hit her, and she suddenly realized she had mistakenly set her ex-boyfriend Kang Chen’s address during checkout. Desperate, she found herself on her knees, frantically messaging customer service: “Dear fairy, dear fairy, I accidentally selected my ex-boyfriend's address when I made the payment last night. Can you please help me change it? (Despairing face)” “Sweetie, it has already been shipped,” replied customer service with a simple and innocent response, tightening her chest with anxiety. Xu Xing fell silent for three seconds, feeling utterly defeated. Deep down, she knew she couldn't escape this tangled relationship. In the end, she pulled Kang Chen's number out of her blacklist and hesitantly dialed. Kang Chen's eyes flickered as he answered, his familiar deep voice coming through the line. On the other end, she found herself pitifully saying, “Grandfather, he…” Her tone was tinged with uncertainty. At that moment, Xu Xing realized that maybe she wasn’t trying to run away after all; she wanted a fresh start. In that instant, Xu Xing understood that all the past misunderstandings might just be the unresolved chaos in her heart. True courage lay in facing the person she once was.
