After Lu Ze returned to the villa, he looked at the message I sent him and finally panicked.

He frantically tried calling me, but all he heard was the cold mechanical voice:

"Sorry, the number you dialed is not answering, please try again later."

"Sorry... The number you dialed is not answering, please try again later..."

It was as if he was deaf, he kept calling me repeatedly, but it was all in vain.

"How could this happen?"

"Weren't we talking just fine, about taking a trip and getting married once I'm done with work?"

"Why break off the engagement with me? Why draw a line with me?"

Lu Ze sat soullessly in the dark, unlit living room, staring persistently at the phone screen.

He suddenly recalled the strange things after returning home, and the hesitant way he handed over that agreement.

And he thought back to his own attitude.
