“Qing Nuo, I was wrong… Damn it; I’m a bastard! I deserve to die by a thousand cuts … hit me and scold me, ok! Just please don’t leave me … Qing Nuo, I love you. The only one I love is you … Please, don’t leave me. I know I was wrong … Give me another chance …”
Mai Yao was drunk again.
The #1 speed dial on his phone was already disconnected.
As the #2 on the speed dial, Mai Yuan had to resign himself to going to the bar again to bring him home.
The bartender knew both brothers and Xu Qing Nuo. While polishing the glass, he said to Mai Yuan, “Qing Nuo is a soft-hearted, kind guy. As long as your brother puts in more effort, he can still get him back. Tell him to stop hanging out at my place all day.”
Mai Yuan drank a glass of wine in silence.
He knew that Xu Qing Nuo would never come back.
Mai Yao knew this as well.
Xu Qing Nuo was, indeed, a soft-hearted, kind guy. But once he became ruthless, he was more brutal than anyone else.
He left six months ago and changed his number without letting anyone know.
Since then, he vanished from the face of the earth and never appeared again.
How sad and disappointed he must have been to become so cruel.
Mai Yuan looked at his brother and sighed. “Ugh, it’s your fault. If you knew it, why did you do it in the first place?”

“Meng Ting Huo, Qing Nuo and I are no longer friends! I’m very sad, very sad, very sad. Do you have to continue messing with me and deliberately using other men to piss me off?” Lin Xiao Wen yelled over the phone in anger and frustration.
“I”m not messing with you. I didn’t deliberately find others to anger you. I’m really in love with him.”
“I don’t believe it! Who is he?!”
Meng Ting Hui whispered his lover’s name gently, “He is … Su Yang.”
“Su Yang?!” Lin Xiao Wen was a little confused. “You mean Su Yang, Qing Nuo’s former colleague?!”
“Yes, it’s him. He followed me to the U.S. I didn’t care about him at first, but now, I have really fallen in love with him. Xiao Wen, this is the last time I am talking to you. From now on, don’t contact me again,” Meng Ting Hui said indifferently.
After speaking, he hung up the phone. No matter how many times Lin Xiao Wen called him, he never picked up.
Lin Xiao Wen finally understood. He truly didn’t like him anymore.
In a trance, he remembered what Xu Qing Nuo had said to him the last time they had met.
“A slut like you, are you worthy of him?”
When Mai Yao showed him the erotic audio clip recorded by Xu Qing Nuo, he said in a painful and resentful voice that he was full of guilt and regret knowing that Xu Qing Nuo had found out about them. And when Xu Qing Nuo left without a word, he was genuinely heartbroken.
Lin Xiao Wen thought Xu Qing Nuo was merely angry with him and no longer cared about him. He thought Xu Qing Nuo’s revenge was only for Mai Yao.
It turned out he was not forgotten, either.
Maybe he told Su Yang what he knew about Meng Ting Hui to help him get closer to the guy … Maybe he directly sent the recording about him and Mai Yao to Meng Ting Hui.
What exactly did Xu Qing Nuo do?
He would never know.

Jiang Heng first met Xu Qing Nuo in his junior year.
His friend and Xu Qing Nuo were in the same school. When he saw him playing badminton on the sportsfield, he saw the sun shining on his face. Looking at the vigorous face wearing a big smile, he was inexplicably attracted to this boy.
After that, he went to their school again, involuntarily looking for him in the crowd.
He wanted to get to know him, but he hesitated because he had no experience chatting with people.
While he was hesitating, Xu Qing Nuo met Mai Yao.
He watched them meet and fall in love.
Maybe what you can’t get is the best.
Because after that, no matter who Jiang Heng was with, he could never forget Xu Qing Nuo.
He subconsciously paid attention to everything about him.
He knew he had come out and was kicked out by his parents.
He knew all his preferences and tiny habits.
He read all his novels.
…
He was like an innocent teenager, carrying his crush in his heart.
When he saw the mess between Mai Yao and Lin Xiao Wen, he felt sorry for Xu Qing Nuo, but he couldn’t help but feel this was an opportunity.
When Xu Qing Nuo appeared at the bar for revenge, he tried to seize this opportunity.
To put Xu Qing Nuo at ease, he always acted like a lazy do-nothing.
He was so excited to finally get the person he had always dreamed about that he almost broke him the first night.
He didn’t mind being used.
To follow Xu Qing Nuo back to his hometown, he gave up high-tech and volunteered to go to the subsidiary in that second-tier city to start from scratch.
…
Of course, Xu Qing Nuo would never know these.
Because Jiang Heng would never tell him.
He didn’t want him to be merely moved by this knowledge.
He wanted to use a lifetime of patience and tenderness to make him fall in love with him.
He had a lot of time.
He had been waiting for so many years; he was not in a hurry.
The author has something to say:
It’s over. Sprinkle flowers ~
Ok. It’s pretty bloody, I admit it.
I thought it was good, but I don’t think it ended so soon T^T
Yes, it was a bit short and abrupt. I mean we know it’s HE, but it was more implied for the future rather than an actual current result. Still, considering the MC was only with ML once he ‘derailed’ as well, I can easily imagine the ML successfully chasing him back soonish.
Thank you for the translation! This was such a satisfying read.
Ok I think I’ll be able to sleep now since I know that XQN has a chance to have happiness with JC…….but if it’ll be a good sleep, I don’t know…….I am very curious about what would happen that was never written here that I’d probably end up dreaming about it
At first I still hope it was all a misunderstanding but its not. I am happy about the ending although its short the ending clearly says XQN will not get back with MY and he will have a new love story with JC which will be left for us readers to imagine. Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me.
This is so good but too short. But I’m happy that our Mc will have a happy ending in the future who loves him and care for him deeply?.
LXW is really a bitch. Lmao. Instead of just repenting that he deserves it he still has the guts to pin the blame on XQN. Whether XQN did something or not, it’s karma.
I’m glad XQN didn’t get back together with Mai Yao. Mai Yao’s idea of love is unhealthy. He only cares about the result not in the process, that is even if one of them cheats as long as they stay together he can put a blind eye. Who’s willing to put up with that, if not for an equally messed up person?
And ohmygod, Jiang Heng. I have no words. Just go get your man ?
Thank you so much for the translation! Lovelots!
i think the writer wants to convey that cheating while in relationship is a fatal mistake. i don’t pity MY bcz he’s the one who didn’t cherish what he had. and LXW deserves worse than that. the open ending is not that bad bcz we already know that most likely XQN will get together with JH. the story is well written. i like it because it’s a short read, and thank you for the translation.
Ok… sweet?❤?
Ahhh! I feel so much better. Jiang Heng was used, but he didn’t go into this blindly. Mai Yao finally realized what an idiot he is. And what a coincidence! Lin Xiao Wen’s crush was the same senior that Su Yang was chasing! But also why does Lin Xiao Wen think Xu Qing Nuo had anything to do with that? It’s not like Xu Qing Nuo can force Meng Ting Hui to have feelings for someone. Lin Xiao Wen has such a twisted view of how relationships work. If my best friend called me a slut or cheated with my boyfriend, that would be the end of the friendship. What did he think was going to happen? We didn’t get an extra from Xu Qing Nuo. But I hope he made up with his family. And I hope he’s hapoy with Jiang Heng. Also! Thanks so much for the translation. It was short but satisfying.
Wait, MY said he regret XQ found out!? SCUM!! Why don’t you regret the action of cheating him. I wanna punch him.
I did know how the Mc felt. And I kinda did what he did but atleast he did it with just one person. And it gives me psychological problems I feel dirty.
