“Well, my Shixiong can only be seduced during non-working hours.” Fei Bai opened the recorder in his hand while speaking, “Remember.”
Luo Yusen raised an eyebrow, wanting to say something but ultimately held back in front of Luofeifei.
At this time, Fei Bai’s phone in his pocket vibrated.
He placed the recording pen on the table and checked his phone. His expression immediately turned unpleasant, and he decisively silenced the call.
After a few seconds, his phone began to vibrate relentlessly again.
Fei Bai gritted his teeth and said to Luo Yusen, “Shixiong, I need to take this call.”
That expression made Luo Yusen think that he was going to eat raw toads in the next second.
Fei Bai walked along the corridor until he reached a spot near the dining area before finally answering the call. Xu Geyang’s impatient voice came out of the earpiece.
“Fei Bai, how long will you hold my things?”
Fei Bai almost lost his breath. He suppressed his anger and said, “Are you being reasonable? You moved out of my house without packing your stuff, how does that translate to me holding onto your things?”
“I didn’t pack up? Did you give me a chance to do that? You pushed me out like a madman and told me to get lost. Have you lost your memory?” Xu Geyang taunted.
Fei Bai’s hands clenched into fists at his side. He could feel his heart pounding furiously with anger, just like a week ago when he had confronted Xu Geyang about the photo of them holding hands on his phone.
“Oh, you found out,” Xu Geyang’s expression was calm after seeing the photo, and he didn’t even frown, “So, are we breaking up?”
Fei Bai had initially imagined scenarios where Xu Geyang would adamantly deny or kneel down, crying and admitting his mistakes. He hadn’t expected that Xu Geyang would skip the acting and directly ask if they should break up.
He forcefully pushed and shoved Xu Geyang out the door, telling him that his house wasn’t a garbage collection station and that someone like him, non-biodegradable and environmentally harmful waste, should roll into any trash bin at the ends of the earth, never to appear before him again, contaminating the air and wasting land.
Now, the humanoid waste was bothering him again.
It seemed like a significant failure in the education of waste classification had occurred.
“Alright, I won’t argue with you,” Fei Bai took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. “I don’t have class tomorrow morning. If you want to pick up your stuff come at that time. If you don’t come, I’ll throw it away.”
Xu Geyang was about to say something, but Feibai didn’t give him a chance to speak and hung up the phone.
The words “End of the call” flashed on the screen, Feibai stared at the words “Xu Geyang”, wishing he could crawl along the phone line and beat him to a pulp.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
You think I’m holding onto your stuff? Fine, I’ll hold onto your current boyfriend. Let’s see if you’ll have the nerve to come and confront me about it later, Xu Geyang.

Luo Yusen glanced at his slightly reddened eyes and felt that this junk collector had really upset him.
He turned off the recording pen and handed it to Fei Bai, “You can stop here for today. I’ll have the driver take you home.”
After the commotion caused by Xu Geyang, Fei Bai didn’t have the mood to take pictures and commemorate the day at the Second Ring Villa. He sat in the car, feeling dejected, and sent a message to Qiao Li, “Do you have time?”
Qiao Li asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Xu Geyang wants to come to my house,” Fei Bai replied.
Qiao Li immediately responded, “Tell me when, should I prepare a sack or just go directly to the police station?”
Fei Bai said, “You really want to go to the police station, huh?”
Fei Bai continued, “He’s coming tomorrow morning to pick up his things. I’m afraid I won’t finish packing today. Can you come and help?”
He’s not actually afraid of not being able to finish cleaning; he’s afraid of breaking down when facing memories of living together with Xu Geyang.
Qiao Li: “Why do I feel like slapping you?”
Qiao Li: “You’re helping him pack his things. Is he incapable of doing it himself? Is he a coelenterate?
Fei Bai replied, ‘Do you think I want to clean up? It’s just that when we broke up, I told him never to step into my house again. If I go back on my word now, where would I put my face?’
Qiao Li: “… Do you know what it means to suffer from saving face?’
Although he said this, Qiao Li came in the afternoon to help Fei Bai slowly clear away the traces left by his ex-boyfriend in his house, from big items like pillows on the bed and clothes in the wardrobe to small items like books on the shelf and a razor in the bathroom, until it was evening.
In fact, Xu Geyang didn’t have much stuff, just various odds and ends that filled a medium-sized cardboard box. Fei Bai squatted beside the box and stared blankly at its contents for a while as if he couldn’t understand why Xu Geyang only left such a small mark on his life.
Qiao Li raised his foot and kicked the box lightly: “If I were you, I would sell these junks, and then slap the money in his face and tell him that’s all he’s worth.”
Fei Bai shook his head and stood up with his hands on his knees, “I have a better way to get revenge on him now.”
Qiao Li’s eyes lit up. “What is it? Tell me.”
Fei Bai looked at his watch, “Let’s eat first. I’ll treat you and talk about it while we eat.”
The two of them didn’t go far, they found a random Northeastern restaurant nearby. The place wasn’t crowded, so they didn’t have to wait for a table. The waiter led them in and told them they could order by scanning a QR code.
Fei Bai was browsing the menu when his phone suddenly vibrated. He exited the menu and saw two messages from Luo Yusen.
Luo Yusen: ‘Today’s salary.’
Below is a four-digit transfer record.
After replying with ‘Thank you, Shixiong,’ Fei Bai clicked to accept the payment and added a heart emoji that gave him goosebumps.
He quickly scanned the QR code on the table again and ordered five or six dishes in a matter of seconds.
Qiao Li saw that the number in the upper right corner of the shopping cart kept increasing, and reminded Fei Bai, “Hey, why are you ordering so much, we can’t finish it.”
“If we can’t finish it, I’ll throw it away.” Fei Bai muttered.
Qiao Li rolled his eyes and removed two dishes, saying, “Why are you wasting so much? It’s like you’re not spending your own money.”
Fei Bai followed his words and asked, “So, whose money do you think I’m spending?”
“Oh, it’s definitely not your money,” Qiao Li began to guess wildly, “Did you crack the scumbag’s bank card password?”
“You have such a vivid imagination,” Fei Bai scoffed and proceeded to recount what had happened in the past few days, along with his plan to seduce Luo Yusen.
“Wow, you’re amazing, Fei Bai! So, you’re saying I’m eating the meal paid for by the other woman?” Qiao Li’s eyes widened in astonishment.
Fei Bai nodded and, after a while, said, “If I can really win over Luo Yusen, it would definitely be a major blow to Xu Geyang. Maybe it will even make him develop coronary atherosclerosis and heart disease in middle age ahead of time.”
“Alright, I support you,” Qiap Li added the two dishes he had removed back to the order. “Spending the money of the other woman, sleeping with the other woman’s man, and infuriating the other woman’s dog of a boyfriend!”
Fei Bai swiped his phone and added two bottles of beer and then submitted the order. “But Luo Yusen looks very difficult to seduce and I don’t have a clue at all.”
“No, think about it. He can even look at an idiot like Xu Geyang. The requirements must be very low and the vision is not very good. I guarantee you can do it.” Qiao Li encouraged him enthusiastically.
Fei Bai furrowed his brow, “Why does that sound like an insult to me?”
After finishing the meal, Qiao Li returned to school, and Fei Bai wandered around outside alone for a while. He wasn’t good at drinking, so even though he had only drunk one bottle of beer, he felt a bit tipsy by now.
Fei Bai walked slowly along the road outside the Northeastern restaurant, feeling the gentle night breeze brushing against his slightly heated body. Many past memories suddenly flooded his mind, one by one, all intertwined with the figure of Xu Geyang.
He remembered how in high school, Xu Geyang had knelt down in front of many people to tie his shoelaces, how Xu Geyang had peeled oranges for him during breaks, how Xu Geyang had let him rest his head on his lap and smelled the scent of his shampoo, and how Xu Geyang, as a freshman, had sung his favorite song on stage during a school song competition.
But what’s the use of remembering?
In the past, it was a deep and unwavering love, but now it was difficult to blame the past.
Shoelaces can be tied by someone else, orange peels will wither and become brittle after being discarded, a person will not always use the same shampoo scent, and once the song ends, youthful affection will easily dissipate.
If he and Xu Geyang broke up peacefully, it would be fine. The relationship in his teenage years was romantic enough. However, Xu Geyang cheated.
But Xu Geyang had to destroy the beautiful memories for him to see.
Did he act childish?
Yes, he did. But he wasn’t even twenty yet, why shouldn’t he be allowed to be childish?
If he didn’t act childish now, dare to love, dare to hate, and become an adult, he might not have the chance in the future.
Thinking of this, Fei Bai clenched his fist and yelled at the night sky, “Xu Geyang, you wait for me!”
Fei Bai woke up very early the next day. He didn’t even use the alarm clock to call him. Facing the situation with Xu Geyang had given him a sense of tension akin to going into battle. He quickly got out of bed, completed a series of preparations, and then stood in front of the mirror to practice the expressions he would make when he saw his ex. He hoped to display a spirit of “even after breaking up with you, I’m still living my life awesomely, you scumbag.”
Fei Bai had everything ready before it was even 8:30. He sat on the bed, staring at the second hand of the clock ticking away, trying to figure out if there was anything he had missed.
He spent almost an hour thinking and still hadn’t figured out anything when his phone started vibrating rhythmically.
Fei Bai answered the call reflexively, “Hello.”
As he listened, the expression on his face gradually changed. “Shixiong? You’re coming later to pick up the recorder?”
