Dating My Ex After Breaking Up

Shen Zhirou and Lu Yao met at a blind date arranged by relatives. At that time, Lu Yao’s heart was already dead, and she just wanted to find a stable person to spend her life with.

Everyone envied Shen Zhirou, who was plain-looking and had no car or house, for being with Lu Yao, who was beautiful and wealthy. But only Shen Zhirou knew that Lu Yao looked at her the same way she looked at a clearly priced item.

Shen Zhirou thought that as long as she liked Lu Yao, that was enough.

She often heard people close to Lu Yao say: Your eyes are so much like those of a friend I know.

At first, Shen Zhirou didn’t take it seriously. But she gradually noticed that Lu Yao seemed to like her eyes more than her, and only called her “sister” affectionately during passionate moments. In Lu Yao’s charming, misty eyes, Shen Zhirou saw a look she had never seen outside their intimate moments.

Later, Lu Yao’s true love returned. Shen Zhirou could no longer lie to herself. She asked Lu Yao: Did you marry me because of love, or because my eyes are like hers?

Lu Yao laughed lightly, finding Shen Zhirou amusing: I told you long ago I couldn’t give you love.

————————-

A few weeks later, Lu Yao discovered that Shen Zhirou had bought a house and completely removed herself from Lu Yao’s life.

But Lu Yao started to miss Shen Zhirou’s gentleness, her thoughtfulness, and even the little moments they shared.

She began to create chance encounters, but Shen Zhirou was cold toward her. One time, in a private room at a bar, Lu Yao saw Shen Zhirou gently talking and laughing with another woman. The woman’s lips accidentally brushed Shen Zhirou’s clean white shirt, leaving an ambiguous lipstick mark. Lu Yao’s heart was struck hard by a sharp sword.

She started going to Shen Zhirou again and again, asking for forgiveness.

Shen Zhirou just looked at Lu Yao steadily for a while, then sighed helplessly: “Yao Yao, we’re not suitable.”
