The day I found out my boyfriend had been cheating on me, I contacted his best friend.

Although I had only seen him two or three times before, and I didn’t even know the name of this little friend, I had heard my boyfriend calling him Little Steel Cannon 1 .

I didn’t have his contact information, but Little Bitch had previously added me to their WeChat group. I scanned through the group and soon found Little Steel Cannon, the little friend.

His WeChat name was very low-key: A Cups Don’t Disturb Me.

He had a kitten as his profile picture. The fingers that were holding the kitten were pale and slender.

There was no post under his Moments. 2

He was probably the only person around Little Bastard who was so coquettish and had such beautiful hands.

I sent him an Add Contact request, which he only approved in the evening, along with a question mark.

Me: 【Busy?】

Him: 【Still OK, what’s the matter?】

I suspected that he didn’t remember who I was at all. There were no photos in my Moments, and my profile picture was a cartoon character.

Now that I think about it, it was kind of amusing that in the two years I was dating my boyfriend, the number of times he had brought me along to his gatherings could be counted with two hands.

Me: 【Are you single now?】

It took him a long time to reply: 【What do you think?】

Me: 【I booked a hotel room on Nanhuan Road, do you want to come?】

Him: 【 Jiejie 3 , I don’t sleep with my friend’s woman. 🙂】

I was a little embarrassed. I didn’t think he’d remember me.

Me: 【Soon, I won’t be anymore.】

Him: 【🙃】

This emoji made me wonder if he was aware that my boyfriend had been unfaithful to me.

This made me a little disheartened.

I didn’t reply. After locking my phone, I took a short nap on the sofa. In a daze, I was interrupted by the WeChat notification sound. I took a look at my phone and was instantly awakened.

A Cups Don’t Disturb Me: 【Come to my house.】

Before I could reply, he sent me a location.

I quickly got up, took a bath, washed my hair, and put on makeup, then I went straight after calling a cab.

It was probably because I had been too angry since discovering the truth that my anger had turned into numbness, and I could no longer feel any shame.

I only felt hungry after I got in the car. I hadn’t eaten or drank anything since last night.

He lived in the Banshan villa area on the outskirts, which was rather far away. The fare cost me 80 yuan.

My legs felt mushy after getting out of the cab, so when I saw a claypot rice noodle place nearby, I pushed open the door and went inside.

While I was waiting for the rice noodles, I sent him a message: 【Have you eaten? I’m buying rice noodles near your place. Do you want me to order one for you as well?】

A Cup Don’t Disturb Me: 【?】

A Cups Don’t Disturb Me: 【I fucking took off my pants already, and you’re asking if I want to eat crossing-the-bridge rice noodles?】 4

His reply made me laugh, and I slightly regained my senses.

What the hell was I doing?

A Cups Don’t Disturb Me: 【Then please get one for me. No scallions and more coriander, thanks jiejie .】

Me: ……

With two packs of rice noodles in my hands, as I entered the neighborhood, while estimating the price of every luxury car that passed me by, I searched for his place using the location in my phone. After circling the neighborhood a few times, he sent me a message to ask.

A Cups Don’t Disturb Me: 【No, but where are my rice noodles?】

Hey! I wasn’t a delivery guy!

Me: 【I got lost = =】

A Cups Don’t Disturb Me: 【You’re unbelievable. Where are you now?】

Me: 【13A】

A Cups Don’t Disturb Me: 【Turn around, walk to 9A, and turn right. I’ll be waiting for you at the front door.】

I followed his instructions and saw him.

It took a while for me to recognize him.

The previous times I had seen him were at nightclubs under dim lighting and cigarette smoke. He had worn black or white shirts with such and such women in his arms, and because of the nickname Little Bastard had given to him and the things Little Bitch had said about him, my impression of him had always been similar to that of those playboys.

It was probably because he was at home today that he only wore a black hoodie and a pair of washed-out ripped jeans. He looked like a delinquent teen who skipped class, not at all like someone who roamed through nightclubs.

He grinned as soon as he saw me. “Hi.”

Tsk. He was very handsome.

It was said that men were visual animals, but so were women.

At least at that moment, I had thrown away the thought of ‘pass him the rice noodles and then I’ll leave’.

I had known that he was handsome, but that kind of handsome wasn’t my cup of tea.

This kind of handsome was totally up my alley.

I had gotten together with my boyfriend back then because I liked the way he dressed.
