Chapter 1 - Let's break up. "Find a cool place and wait for me there. I'm coming to get you!"
Wu Qiqiong put down the phone, rubbing his hands with a piece of cloth. He went inside the room for a change of clothes, in cloud nine.
"Is she here yet?" Wu Qiqiong's mother ran after him and asked.
With his rough hands tugging at his singlet, Wu Qiqiong looked over to his mother's side. His big sparkling eyes unable to hide his wide grin.
"Coming."
Today Wu Qiqiong's girlfriend was going to meet his parents for the first time.
The intense heat from the scotching sun above had mangled the cicada's voice in an attempt to sing. There was a huge garbage bin not a far distance away from Wu Qiqiong's house. As soon as it approached this period of the year, the strong stench would float to each and every household. Wu Qiqiong walked past the garbage bin and a piece of popsicle stick was stuck to the sole of his shoe. He took a hard step and rubbed against the ground, sending thousands of flies fleeing in all directions.
Yue Yue was standing at the entrance of the alley. Her face was full of anxiety and impatience.
On seeing Wu Qiqiong heading in her direction, Yue Yue couldn't help to feel a sense of disgust. She couldn't tell if it was due to the layer of fat hanging around his waist, or the two strands of hair sticking out from his head, or because she saw his dirty face that was sooted with kitchen fumes......
"Let's go. The food will be ready soon." said Wu Qiqiong as he took one of her hands.
Yue Yue yanked her hand away. Her face hidden by the shade. Her pair of amorous eyes was chilly.
"What? You're nervous?" Wu Qiqiong teased, smiling warmly. "Don't worry. My mother is from the countryside, she won't give you a hard time. She was very happy to know you will be coming. She's been anticipating since two days ago and even went to the market to get groceries early this morning."
"Why not...... let's break up!" said Yue Yue.
Wu Qiqiong thought he had misheard it, and stared at Yue Yue with eyes widely open. Unable to find his voice for a while.
Yue Yue continued, "It's getting really boring with us like this."
"How boring? I find it really exciting"
Yue Yue smiled bitterly, "That's only you."
Once said, she turn her head to leave. Wu Qiqiong immediately grabbed onto her.
"Yue Yue. We have been together for seven years now. We can't just break up like this? At least give me a reason for that."
Yue Yue shifted her eyes over to him. "Is 'seven-year itch' valid enough?"
"We can scratch if it itches!"
"Scratch my ass!" Yue Yue exploded. Her delicate lips were spitting venoms. "Let me tell you this. Cut out those cheeky talks. I don't have the time to joke with you. From now on, we have officially broken up. We are now friends."
"We've been good so far, how can we just break up like this?" Wu Qiqiong was still trying hard to fight for this love. "Tell me, is it something I have done? I can change."
Yue Yue rolled her eyes feeling annoyed. "Everything. Go and get reborn!"
Wu Qiqiong, refusing to give in easily, said. "I don't believe it."
"You still don't believe it? What reasons have you got to say that?" Due to the rage, two clouds of pink appeared onto Yue Yue's beautiful face. "I've saving your pride by not saying it. And you are still asking me? Since you have to cheek to ask, then we will have a talk about it."
Wu Qiqiong cocked his ears to listen closely, trying to appear to turn over a new leaf.
Yue Yue took a deep breath and pointed to Wu Qiqiong's chin. "Let's start. Since we have been together, how much weight have you gained? You were so skinny during our university days! So fit! And take a look at yourself now. Sinking deeper and deeper into the ground with each step you take. I feel like I'm taking a Tibetan Mastiff for a walk when I'm shopping with you."
Wu Qiqiong cry out in injustice. "Didn't you say skinny men don't make you feel secured?"
"Yes. I said that." Yue Yue threw her bag on the ground in rage. "But isn't this fucking too secured now? It's so secured that I can't help but cry. Did you know? I've been dreaming a lot lately that we have a third wheel between us. And I laugh myself awake each time round."
