Chapter 6 Blocked For Good
That night when I got home, I got a message from Ruoyu.
【听说你和周漾离婚了？是因为我吗？】
【你不要冲动，他即使喜欢我也是曾经的事了，我们现在就是纯粹的合作关系。】
She sent another photo.
【你看，我正帮你劝他，放心，他很快就会回去找你道歉，求你原谅。】
I looked at that photo. It was the restaurant I had once posted about on my social feed, saying I wanted to go there with Zhou Yang.
Later, because Zhou Yang never had time, we never made it.
But now he could sit with her at the best table there, the one hardest to reserve.
In the photo, she had also casually shown the Pink Diamond Bracelet Zhou Yang had given her.
That Pink Diamond Bracelet was originally meant to be my birthday gift from him.
The day before my birthday, Ruoyu had shot a life-and-death farewell scene and could not get out of character. To soothe her, Zhou Yang gave her that Pink Diamond Bracelet as a birthday gift instead.
And that time, while soothing her, he completely forgot my birthday.
After that, he never remembered my birthday again.
I scrolled through those messages and did not reply.
Not long after, Zhou Yang also sent me a message.
【这家的烤鱼不错，我想下次带你来试试。】
【你那条等了好久的项链，我已经找人买到了，快递今天就会到家。】
This was Zhou Yang's signal to make peace.
Every time we fought, he did this.
He bought me gifts, took me to a good restaurant, then came at me hard at night as a way of saying sorry.
And I always gave in under his relentless pressure, until everything was left unresolved.
I figured he still thought I would forgive him this time, just like before.
But never again.
It was almost funny.
One of them was provoking me. The other was trying to make peace.
For years I had spun between the two of them more times than I could count.
I was truly done with that endless back-and-forth.
Without thinking, I blocked both of their contacts completely.
