The Three-Life Stone

Chapter 106 Breakup

Since Yu Le entered university, his life has become much more comfortable than in high school.

In order to ensure that he could have some income while completing his studies, he worked as a volleyball coach during college and lived among girls.

From time to time, girls would hand him love letters, and he would just smile indifferently and tell them that he had a girlfriend, but as for his girlfriend, no one had ever seen her.

After entering university, Yu Le shaved his head to give himself a strong, sunny and handsome look.

Some people in college are lonely, some are striving to make progress, and of course some enjoy life and fall in love.

After the military training, his skin became darker, and he always stood and sat straight in the following years. He had a unique appeal to little girls, especially the female volleyball players.

In the second semester of his sophomore year, Yu Le was lost in thought while listening to Jay Chou’s songs on the radio. He opened the playlist and shared the song “Sunny Day” with Sui Rou, adding a sentence on WeChat: “Our story continues.”

In the evening, he received a reply from Suirou on his mobile phone. It was a voice message, and below the message was the same sentence [Our story continues], followed by an emoticon of the hand that took the photo of Suirou at that time, with the little finger raised slightly.

Yu Le put on his headphones and turned on the voice:

On this windy day, I tried to hold your hand

But the rain gradually got so heavy that I couldn't see you anymore

How long will it take before I can be by your side?

Maybe I'll feel better when the weather clears up.

Once upon a time, there was someone who loved you for a long time

But the wind gradually blew the distance away

It's so hard to love you for one more day

He also replied with an emoticon made from a photo of his own hand, and Sui Rou's voice slowly came out to accompany him to sleep.

The next morning, Yu Le looked at his phone and saw Sui Rou replying with an emoticon made of a photo of the two of them making pinky promises, with the caption "Make pinky promises and stay the same for a hundred years."

Of course, our story does not end there.

In the University of Finance and Economics, Tong Yu once again made an appointment with Meng Nan to go to the Internet cafe to play games. This time he did not refuse and agreed readily. It had been two months, and it was time for him to play games with his brothers and dominate the game.

The two of them checked their respective class schedules and chose a day that was more suitable for skipping classes. When they passed by a pavilion next to the school garden, they saw a scene that they would never forget in their lives.

Who would have thought that this incident would happen when taking this slightly hidden road to skip class? I'm afraid the person involved probably didn't know that someone would pass by and notice it during class time.

Tong Yu clenched his fists angrily and was about to rush forward. Meng Nan gritted his teeth, but he held Tong Yu back and they went to the Internet cafe as usual.

The two of them opened the game normally in the Internet cafe. Meng Nan acted very calmly as if nothing had happened. As his brother, Tong Yu naturally knew that this was the most unsettled part: "What are you going to do?"

"What should I do? The game has started, hurry up!" Meng Nan's fingers tapped on the keyboard flexibly. He didn't show any joy when he won, but when he lost, he couldn't help but push the mouse forward and cursed: "Fuck."

The two of them were basically in a daze for the next few days. There were so many people in the same major in the university, and it was impossible for the teacher to take care of everyone. For nine whole days, Meng Nan dragged Tong Yu to the Internet cafe all night except for sleeping in individual classes.

I was still young and full of energy at that time. It’s not that I didn’t feel very tired, but I just didn’t want to let myself be idle and didn’t want to face it.

Mo Han felt a little lonely because she hadn't seen Meng Nan in school for a few days. She seldom saw Meng Nan in class. If she wasn't a classmate, she would rarely see her and even feel that Meng Nan was avoiding her.

Later, I heard from one of my male classmates that I should go to an Internet cafe to look for it.

The words "Go to the Internet cafe to look for him" typed in Mo Han's mind. She couldn't believe it. How could Meng Nan give up being with her and his studies because of games? If games were so important, how could he spend so much time on her? Was he just enjoying the happiness of pursuing a person?

Mo Han couldn't help but go to the Internet cafes outside the campus with a lot of questions in her mind. She locked onto several Internet cafes according to the suggestions provided by her classmates and checked them one by one. In the third Internet cafe, she found Meng Nan's shadow. The grievances of the past few days turned into endless tears: "I didn't expect you to be so self-degrading."

The girl's pretty face was choking with sobs as she went to the Internet cafe. Everyone couldn't help but look at her. Meng Nan glanced at the girl's face and frowned. Would it still hurt to see her cry? He turned his eyes to the game and asked casually, "What are you doing here?"

"Since you are like this now, we are not suitable to be together." Mo Han said this perhaps not because she really wanted to break up, but because she wanted to use herself to inspire the boy's ambition, but she only waited for the boy to say "OK".

Mo Han couldn't help but nodded and said with an expression of "You are really great": "Scumbag."

If her eyes weren't focused entirely on Meng Nan, she could see that Tong Yu's hands were clenching and loosening from time to time as he continued typing. If Meng Nan hadn't been kicking him, he really couldn't help but ask the girl, "Don't you know what you did?"

"Don't just blame others. Brother Meng is not that kind of person."

Several people looked back, wondering who would speak for them?

It’s Yu Le.

He has always been worried about Meng Nan's condition. They have never been in contact, but Meng Nan's abnormality has always made him uneasy. Two days ago during the holiday, he opened the game he hadn't played for a long time, and the active time of Meng Nan's account shocked him. He skipped classes even though he didn't do so, for the sake of the little brother who took good care of his studies in high school.

Finding the Internet cafe was not a difficult task for him. He was just doing his homework on the computer and observing what was happening on Meng Nan's side. He was unwilling to believe that a person could change so drastically until the girl came over. He didn't know what had happened and spoke out based on the principle of communicating more and not letting others laugh at him.

"Who are you? If he is not this kind of person, then what kind of person is he?" Mo Han asked unwillingly.

This time, Tong Yu couldn't hold back and asked Mo Han loudly, "Don't you know what you did in the school garden?"

He said it out loud. In order to save Meng Nan's face, he did not directly tell her about his affair with the foreign teacher. Even though he was punched by Meng Nan for this, he did not regret it. If possible, he wanted to tell all the people who did not know how much Meng Nan had paid and gained for this. It was a pity that Meng Nan was still protecting that woman.

--That day in the school's small garden, Meng Nan was wearing the same couple outfit as the heroine in the hidden pavilion. The hero was a foreign teacher. The man was sitting on a bench and the girl was sitting on the boy's thighs. They were kissing passionately as if no one was around. The man put his hand into the girl's clothes and rubbed her.

Mo Han was stunned for a moment as she watched the fight. She could see that Meng Nan was defending her, so she quickly thought of an excuse and burst into tears: "It was you who chased me and then came to the Internet cafe to play games and degenerate, and you even framed me. I didn't expect you and your brother to be such people."

The news that Meng Nan was a scumbag spread like wildfire, but what Tong Yu said and what Meng Nan did also made people discuss some other ideas in private.

The two people who were fighting stopped after Mo Han left, and neither of them gave in when looking at the bruises on their bodies.

There was no need to stay there playing games after something like this happened, so the two went to a nearby barbecue stall and ordered a grilled fish and a handful of lamb skewers, pork belly skewers, grilled whole wings, saury, duck gizzards, sausages, leeks, enoki mushrooms, baby cabbage, oysters, etc. They also ordered a case of ice-cold beer.

Golden bubbling wheat wine was poured into the cup. Meng Nan took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and placed it on the table. Tong Yu and Yu Le symbolically took one and hung it to their ears. Meng Nan lit the cigarette and took a deep breath. The exhaled smoke covered up the emotions hidden in his eyes.

Amidst the puffs of smoke, the barbecue was served one after another.

"Come and eat." As the middleman, Meng Nan still calmly led the two strangers around him.

He said to Yu Le: "This is my childhood friend, Tong Yu."

He said to Tong Yu: "This is my high school classmate, Yu Le, you are all my best brothers."

The two men raised their glasses of wine and now they were brothers.

Meng Nan's expression was indifferent and hard to detect, but Yu Le could still tell that compared with the time in high school, there seemed to be no light in his eyes. He didn't know how to comfort himself, even his brain was telling him not to drink too much tonight and not to skip classes tomorrow.
