The teaching and research office suddenly fell into deathly silence.

The girl who had asked Wen Li if she had broken up with Huo Yuanchen turned pale with fear and stood up to explain, "Professor Huo, I'm not..."

Huo Yuanchen walked towards his seat and said calmly, "It doesn't matter. We did break up. You are not wrong."

The speculation was confirmed, and the students were so frightened that they dared not even breathe.

He glanced around, smiled, and took the initiative to explain, "Don't be nervous. She and I broke up peacefully because our personalities were not compatible. It's not to the point where we can't even mention it."

After a pause, he continued, "But you should still focus on your studies. Although I don't object to you chasing stars, it's best not to mention the entertainment industry in the teaching and research department."

He has always been a serious person in the teaching and research department. He rarely says a few words in a month about things that are not related to scientific research. But today he explained so much to the students.

The girls who were watching videos no longer dared to be distracted and concentrated on looking up paper materials all night. The entire teaching and research office was silent.

Huo Yuanchen came to write his unfinished experimental report, but when he was writing, he found that the experimental data in several places could not be matched together. The more he wrote, the more confused his thoughts became, and the more annoyed he felt.

In the end, I just stopped writing, turned off the computer and left.

It took him only half an hour from the time he entered the teaching and research office to the time he left, and he didn't take anything with him.

The students didn't know what he was doing here and looked at each other in confusion.

Huo Yuanchen drove out of the school and looked at the street lights. He didn't know where to go for a moment. He didn't want to go back to school to do scientific research, nor did he want to go home so early to sleep.

I don’t know what happened, but he parked the car on the side of the road, took out his cell phone, and actually called Wen Li, wanting to ask where she was.

After hearing the "Unable to connect" prompt tone from the mobile phone, he realized that Wen Li's phone had been disconnected recently, probably because he had been blacklisted.

He was a little angry. They had said they would part ways amicably and remain friends in the future, but she blocked him the next time. Wen Li was as good as ever at saying one thing in front of him and another behind his back.

He was so angry that he sent a message to Wen Li, asking her, "Is it necessary to do this?"

Of course, if no reply is received.

He sat in the car for a while and then went to a nearby club.

The last time he came here was during the Chinese New Year. He brought An Wen with him and ran into Wen Li and Meng Jinnian together.

He didn't expect to run into Meng Jinnian again this time.

The latter came with a few friends. The others all brought their female companions, except Meng Jinnian, who sat at a booth drinking.

His friends teased him, saying, "Brother Meng, why have you become so chaste recently? You don't have a wife to control you, so what are you afraid of? You look like someone who is drinking alone."

Meng Jinnian waved his hand, telling the other party not to talk nonsense, "When have I ever been nonsense?"

The other party said, "Brother Meng, you used to hang out with a few of us, but you changed your girlfriend every once in a while. Isn't that reckless? Then I can be called innocent. I only change my girlfriend every three months."

Meng Jinnian shook his head and said, "Those people were blind dates arranged for me by my family. I couldn't refuse them, so I had to bring them out to play. But recently, I made it clear to my family and asked them not to arrange blind dates for me anymore."

Others could tell there was something else behind his words and asked hurriedly, "Why don't you go on blind dates anymore? Brother Meng, do you have someone you like?"

Meng Jinnian said with a faint smile on his face, "I have always had someone I like."

Someone whispered, "Brother Meng, are you still thinking about Wen Li? Didn't she break up with you?"

Meng Jinnian laughed, "We can get back together after breaking up. I'm single, and she's single too, so we still have a chance to get back together."

Others immediately chimed in, "If Brother Meng and Wen Li get back together, that would be like a broken mirror reunited, a perfect match, right?"

Meng Jinnian obviously liked such compliments. He clinked glasses with the man and drank the wine in one gulp.

When he went to ask the bartender for a cocktail again, he met Huo Yuanchen who was sitting alone at the bar drinking.

He was stunned for a moment, then asked the bartender for two glasses of wine and walked over with them.

"It's your treat." He put the wine on the bar, pushed it in front of Huo Yuanchen, and said politely, "I heard that you and Wen Li broke up. Anyway, I am very grateful to you."

As he spoke, he raised his glass and clinked it with the wine in front of Huo Yuanchen, saying, "Drink first as a token of respect."

Huo Yuanchen glanced at him indifferently and said disapprovingly, "Do you think that you will have another chance now that Wen Li and I have broken up? Forget it, she has more than one buyer in her hands."

Meng Jinnian said nonchalantly, "Are you talking about the guy from the Cheng family? I've seen the video, and it's well edited. But after all, I've been dating Wen Li for more than a year, so I'm familiar with her. I can still tell whether she likes the other person or not."

Huo Yuanchen looked at him deeply.

He wondered if Meng Jinnian had realized that Wen Li was just using him when she ran into him and Wen Li at the mall last time? Did Meng Jinnian laugh at his stupidity in her heart at that time?

It's really funny. He always thought that Meng Jinnian's IQ was not high, but he didn't expect that he was not smart in Meng Jinnian's mind either.

He clinked glasses with Meng Jinnian and said, "If you want to pursue Wen Li, go for it. Don't worry about me. You know, I was just playing with her. Now that I'm tired of her, I'll let her go naturally."

Meng Jinnian said a little frustrated, "You were just playing with her, so you were able to get out of it so quickly. I'm different from you. I really like her. Even though we broke up for so long, I still can't forget her. I've decided that I'm going to pursue her again. Since I succeeded once, I'm sure I can succeed the second time. I won't get engaged to her this time. I'll get married directly after I win her over. I'm not young anymore, and my parents are anxious to have grandchildren. I don't want to have children with other women, I only want to have children with Wen Li. It doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl, as long as she has the baby, I'll like it."

Huo Yuanchen stared at him for a while and said speechlessly, "You think too far ahead."

Meng Jinnian shook his head and said, "When you really like someone, you will find that what I am thinking now is not an exaggeration at all. When you like someone, you will imagine spending your whole life with her, until you grow old together, just by looking at her."

Huo Yuanchen felt that his childhood friend had gone insane.

He didn't intend to say anything to Meng Jinnian and wanted to finish the cup in his hand and leave.

Unexpectedly, Meng Jinnian, for some reason, raised his glass to clink with his, and said, "We have been friends for so many years, you will bless me, right? Come, let's drink this glass, and wish that I can catch up with Wen Li again, and wish that I can have children with Wen Li, and live together until old age."
