Xia and I broke up

Xi Hua stood up and ran to Chen. She shook her again as she asked, "What happened Chen? Who did this!?!?! All this!!! Who did it!?!?!"

Yu Chen looked at Hua and blinked stupidly, "Huh? What?" she said.

Xi Hua left Chen and reached for her phone, saying, "Someone was here. And you seem to be in shock!! I'll call the police."

This put some sense in Yu Chen who ran and snatched the phone from Xi Hua's hand. She said, "No. Don't call the police. Calm down."

Xi Hua looked at Chen as though she had gone mad, "Calm down!! Look at yourself!!!!"

Yu Chen pulled up her t-shirt. and tried to hide as many marks as possible.

Seeing her getting flustered like that, Xi Hua calmed down and said, "Okay. I won't call the police. But on one condition, what happened!?!?"

Yu Chen dropped Hua's phone and said in a daze, "I.....Xia..."

Xi Hua frowned, "Xia? Si Xia came here!!!!??? I'm gonna kill him!!!"

Xi Hua made a movement to stand up but Yu Chen grabbed her hand, "Xia and I broke up."

Xi Hua stood thunderstruck as the words sunk in. Si Xia...and Yu Chen...broke up?

Hua sat back down and held Chen's hands in her own, "What are you saying Chen? You're crazy. It must be just a little misunderstanding. You both will sort it out."

Yu Chen said nothing as she opened her other hand, and in it, stood the pieces of the broken clips.

Xi Hua's eyes opened wide as she stared at the clips before looking at Chen, then back at the clips. She hugged Yu Chen as soon as she recovered and said, her voice cracking, "How.....?? How could this happen!?!?"

Yu Chen's voice was emotionless as she recounted all that had happened the previous night.

Chen stood up once she stopped talking.

Xi Hua grabbed her wrist and said, "Where are you going Chen?!"

Yu Chen said, her voice devoid of emotions and her face blank, "I'm gonna go freshen up. Then I'll go lay down. I don't know if I got any sleep last night."

Saying this Yu Chen walked towards the bathroom as Xi Hua sat on the couch, wondering what was happening?

Two days later...

Huo Zenghai walked in the living room of Hua and Chen's apartment to see Yu Chen sitting on the couch very engrossed in her laptop.

"Hey Chen. How are you doing?" he asked, his voice worried.

Yu Chen answered without looking up, her voice emotionless, "Oh hey Zenghai. Hua's in the kitchen. She should be finishing up with the dishes. There's still some dinner left if you want it."

Huo Zenghai tried to cheer her up, "Really!?! You made it?!?! What did you make?"

"Nothing special." Chen replied in a robotic voice.

Huo Zenghai sighed and walked towards the kitchen, where he found Xi Hua washing the dishes. Huo Zenghai hugged her from behind and kissed her cheek, saying, "Hii. How was your day?"

Xi Hua sighed, "The usual. What about you?"

Zenghai: "Sorry I had to stay a bit late."

Hua rolled her eyes, "Don't you always?"

Huo Zenghai: "Yeah. But today was a bit different. It's like Xia wants to kill himself working, and wants to take all of us with him."
