Yun Nan saw that Shi Nian seemed quite happy carrying the bags, so she left him to it. She took out the lollipops and peeled off their wrappers before she stuffed one into her mouth and held the other to Shi Nian’s mouth.
Shi Nian spotted a photoflash nearby from the corner of his eyes, so he openly popped the lollipop into his mouth.
“It’s delicious, isn’t it?” Yun Nan asked, and Shi Nian nodded. Yun Nan continued, “Fang Xi said these peach-flavored lollipops are good. You can’t go wrong with anything she recommends.”
‘Oh, so the lollipops were recommended by FangXi,’ Shi Nian thought. “Do all girls like sweets?” Shi Nian inquired.
Yun Nan shook her head. “I don’t know. Fang Xi and I eat sweets to keep us awake and boost creativity. Fang Xi likes to suck on lollipops because it reduces her cravings for a cigarette. She used to smoke, but she quit after she met her crush. The only good thing I can say about that man was that he got her to stop smoking. ”
“Has she gotten over her breakup?” Shi Nian inquired. He Imew that Yun Nan must be in a pleasant mood because she was sharing these stories with him.
Yun Nan shook her head and replied, “I don’t think she can. Although she looks fine on the surface… Fang Xi is the type to hide her negative emotions, so the more composed she appears to be, the more hurt she is on the inside. She loves that man very much. She gave her entire heart to him, and he broke it.”
Shi Nian felt moved by Fang Xi’s tragic romance and questioned, “Does she hate him?”
Yun Nan twirled before Shi Nian, light-footed as a butterfly, and answered, “Hate him? No! She’d already spent all her power loving him. Where would she find the energy to hate him? She’d die from exhaustion.”
Fang Xi’s tale suddenly reminded Shi Nian of Xi Cheng. “I have a friend who broke up with his girlfriend because he was pressured by his family,” Shi Nian offered. “He’s now engaged to another woman and has completely changed.
He’s very depressed, and his relationship with his fiancée is very strained.”
Yun Nan was surprised; this was the first time she heard him mention his friend. “He doesn’t like his fiancée? Then why did they get engaged? Does his girlfriend love him very much?” Yun Nan probed, curious. She didn’t expect there would be a real-life version of such a melodramatic love story.
Shi Nian thought of how dispirited Xi Cheng was recently, sighed softly, and told Yun Nan, “His mother likes his fiancée. His girlfriend’s family doesn’t have much power or influence, so she got chased away by his mother. Before she moved away, she left behind the money his mother gave her and the money he’d given her during all those years they lived together. I once found that friend of mine grieving alone in the house they used to share. He even forbade me from opening the bedroom door because he feared the girl’s scent would dissipate.”
