When I returned home and looked at the house I had lived in for three years, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional. For Shawna, I stayed in Haicheng despite my parents' objection.

In the first year of our relationship, Shawna was very good to me. She once learned to cook for me and cut her fingers several times. When I was sick with a fever, she would take care of me all night without sleep. When I worked overtime late at night, she would bring nutritious soup to the company to keep me company. At that time, I was immersed in happiness and firmly believed that Shawna and I could grow old together.

However , in the second year of our relationship, our love was not so passionate. Although the plain and simple is the true, I still look forward to a better future. But since the end of last year, Shawna has become obsessed with playing King of Glory, and the communication between us has become less and less.

In order to have something in common with her, I downloaded the game to play with her. But I found out that she already had a boyfriend in the game, and that boyfriend was none other than her neighbor’s brother, Evan , whom she always talked about .

In July this year, Evan, who graduated from college, came to Haicheng to live with Shawna . Since then, there have been endless quarrels and cold wars between Shawna and me. She kept saying that she only regarded Evan as a brother, but their intimate behavior was no different from that of a couple in love.

She stayed at Evan's place late at night because he had a stomachache, and she rubbed his stomach all night; when we were halfway through the candlelight dinner, Evan called and said he was bored, so she left me alone in the restaurant; when I was sick and hungry in the hospital, she took the nutritious meal I ordered to please Evan...

After repeated disappointments, I finally understood: when someone no longer loves you, even pretending and being perfunctory seems redundant.

After deciding to leave, I gradually packed up my belongings and sent them back to my hometown. But Shawna didn't notice my change. On the weekend, Shawna said Evan invited us to dinner, and I subconsciously declined. As a result, she turned her face and said, " Evan invited you to dinner to give you face, don't be ungrateful!"

I thought about it and decided that even if we broke up, we should do it in peace. So I agreed, "Okay, I'll go."
