I didn't received any message from little Xin until late that night.
Ding--Ding--
It was my PC notification.
Some time later, I checked my phone. It was a message from Xin:
We are done. I can't endure five days of withdrawal anymore. So this is where we seperate. Thanks for your company over the last year.
I was stunned. I'd never imagined he would be the one to break up with me.

He didn't answer. 我又道,"去沙发上聊一聊吧?”
我等了片刻,坐到沙发左边,他在右侧坐下。In the past, he would 依偎在我身上. Now he kept a deliberate distance. I didn't know how to begin. I just stared ahead. 眼泪汹涌而出. He said softly, "不是说聊一聊吗?"
I finally let everything poured out.

"That's why I hated the way you mocked me.
