I’m Not an Animal

Mei Xiawen's expression had visibly darkened.

He held his head in his hands, his elbows propped on the table. There was a hint of sorrow in his voice. "I was young and stupid, and took her for granted. She was headstrong and stubborn, and I was too proud to give in to her. After she left the country, she was all alone in a foreign land. She needed someone to help her, but I was too far away to do that…"

Gu Nianzhi suddenly realized what he was saying. She was very surprised. "She got a new boyfriend?"

Mei Xiawen looked at her with a wry smile on his face. "Nianzhi, c'mon, you don't have to be so blunt about it. I have my pride, too, you know."

Gu Nianzhi had wanted to ask whether his ex-girlfriend had gotten a new boyfriend before the breakup, or after…

If it had happened before the breakup, then Mei Xiawen's first girlfriend had cheated on him.
