Liu Yifei turned her head, looked at his profile, paused for a moment, and then smiled.

"No. I need more buzz; emotional appeals can generate some attention..."

"If you break up with me now, I'll start thinking about having a child."

Liu Yifei's eyes widened.

The car was silent for a full three seconds.

"Break up, break up right now. Who am I? I'm Liu Yifei. Do I need others to give me popularity? Ridiculous."

Then she picked up her phone and started dialing.

She dialed the number as she spoke, her tone carrying an air of certainty that said, "Is there even a need to consider this?"

The call was connected.

Liu Yifei's voice returned to its calm, unquestionable tone.

She said a few words, without any further explanation, without any pulling or tugging, and without giving the other party any room to persuade her to stay.

Xiao He couldn't hear what was said on the other end of the phone, only the last two words she uttered.

"Hang up."

Then she hung up.

The screen went dark.

Liu Yifei opened Weibo, quickly tapped three times on the screen, and then pressed send.

She turned her phone screen over to show Xiao He three words and one punctuation mark.

"Hehe."

Xiao He stared at those three words and suddenly felt a little dazed.

In that future he remembered, she sent those three words alone in the early hours of the morning, and no one knew what she was thinking when she typed them.

But now, she was sitting in the passenger seat next to him, and after she finished speaking, she even hummed, as if she had completed a long-delayed chore.

"alright."

Liu Yifei tossed her phone onto her lap, turned to look at Xiao He, her eyes bright.

Xiao He knew that it wouldn't be long before Song Seung-heon's side officially confirmed the breakup through the Korean media.

The news quickly topped the trending search list, and Liu Yifei's Weibo comment section was flooded with cheers from fans.

Some people set off firecrackers, some said "Fairy Sister is back," and some started a lottery to celebrate "Fairy Sister is single again."

But at this moment, in the passenger seat of the Porsche Cayenne, the female protagonist who has made headlines is completely unaware of all the excitement to come.

She just smiled and looked at Xiao He.

"Get off the highway, quick."

Why do we need to get off the highway?

Liu Yifei narrowed her eyes.

"Of course I'm going to have a baby. You...you're not lying to me, are you?"

"Sis, I said I'd consider it. Before, I wouldn't even consider it, but now I'll think about it."

The air inside the car froze for a second.

"You brat."

Liu Yifei's voice dropped a pitch.

"You dare to mess with me."

"Sis, stop fooling around, driving on the highway is dangerous."

Liu Yifei's hand was already outstretched.

She pinched his arm, not hard, but in a tricky spot, right on the softest part of the flesh between his biceps and triceps.

"Ah, when I said I'd consider it, I really meant I'd consider it..."

"Are you even using your mouth to think?"

She pinched it again, this time in a different spot, on the inside of her wrist.

"No, I won't let you off the hook unless you give me something concrete."

Xiao He dodged slightly, causing the steering wheel to wobble slightly.

"Shall we give each other a kiss? Take it slow?"

"You brat, what are you thinking about?"

Liu Yifei angrily revealed her two canine teeth.

"Who kissed you? You've got some nerve!"

"How can you have a baby without kissing?"

"Do you think children are conceived through kissing? I'm warning you, you're not allowed to have feelings for me, and don't even think about trying to trick me, you hear me?"

As she spoke, she reached out again, this time targeting her ear.

Xiao He turned his head to dodge, but his ear was caught and gently pulled.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

"It's supposed to hurt. How did you turn out so bad? Lying to people is one thing, but you even dared to lie to your own sister?"

Liu Yifei let go, but her mouth didn't stop.

"You were such a good boy when you were little. You listened to everything I said. If I asked you to get me water, you would get me water; if I asked you to come with me to the rehearsal hall, you would come with me. You never said no."

"And now?"

She got more and more excited as she talked, and poked his shoulder with her finger.

"You've learned to lie. You've learned to play word games. You even say you're 'thinking it over'? What are you thinking about? How many days have you been thinking about it? Tell me, what conclusion have you reached?"

Xiao He stopped talking. He was suffering inside, but he just wouldn't say it.

He gripped the steering wheel, not uttering a single word in rebuttal.

I just listened to her rant.

Listening to her talk about everything from childhood to now, from "You've changed" to "You're not the little brother I used to know anymore."

Xiao He just chuckled and didn't say a word.

Liu Yifei was tired of nagging, so she leaned back in her chair and glared at him.

"What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"

Xiao He just chuckled.

She turned her face away and looked out the window.

It was quiet for only a few minutes.

Liu Yifei's phone started vibrating.

She picked it up, looked at it, and laughed.

"This group of people."

In the Fairy Nest group chat, messages were scrolling up like crazy.

Tang Yan's first voice message exploded: "Princess Sissi! That guy surnamed Song is finally gone! I've endured this for three years, and I finally don't have to pretend to wish you well anymore!"

Shu Chang followed up: "Xixi, congratulations on being single again. But tell me honestly, are you seeing someone? With your personality, you wouldn't make this decision unless someone forced you."

Zhang Liangying was the most straightforward, directly throwing out a row of red envelopes with the words "Breakup Tax" written on the cover.

The last piece of news about Mengjia came out as a repost, a screenshot of a post on a Korean gossip forum. The title in Korean read, "Song Seung-heon's new drama's female lead says in an interview, 'Oppa takes good care of me,'" and the accompanying picture was a photo of the two on set, with the woman smiling sweetly.

Meng Jia added, "I've been holding it in for three months. I was afraid of upsetting you, so I didn't dare to send it. Now I can send it."

There was a two-second pause in the group chat messages.

Then Tang Yan sent a voice message, her voice rising eight octaves: "What? When did this happen?"

Shu Chang: "Jiajia, you've kept this a secret for a long time."

Zhang Liangying sent another red envelope with the words "compensation for emotional distress" written on the cover.

Liu Yifei looked at the screenshot of the post, her finger pausing on the screen for a moment.

Then he typed a line: "I didn't post this three months ago, but I'm posting it now. Do you want me to post it when I'm sad, or when I'm not sad?"

Meng Jia replied instantly: "Of course I'll post this after you dump him. If you're still with him, posting this would be like stabbing you in the heart."

Tang Yan: "Meng Jia, you have to treat us today. You've been hiding this message for three months. Do you know how hard I've been holding it in for the past three years?"

Shu Chang: "What's wrong with three years? I've been holding back since 2015. When Xixi made their relationship public, I called to congratulate her, and she told me, 'We're just friends.' I knew then that this relationship wouldn't last long."

Jane Zhang: "So today isn't a breakup, it's like being released from prison."

Tang Yan posted an emoji of a cat jumping out of its cage, captioned "I'm free now."

Meng Jia took a screenshot of Liu Yifei's Weibo post. Three words: "Hehe."

Send it to the group.

Tang Yan: "Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!"

Shu Chang: "These three words are enough for the South Korean media to write about for three days."

Zhang Liangying: "Let me translate: I can't be bothered with you."

Meng Jia: "Wrong. The translation is: You are not worthy of me saying another word."

Tang Yan sent another voice message, laughing so hard she could barely breathe: "Have you seen the Korean media reports? 'Liu Yifei responded to the breakup with three words, her attitude is intriguing.' Intriguing? What's so intriguing about that? Don't these Koreans have brains? Heh heh heh!"

Shu Chang: "Xixi, I'm asking you something serious. Is anyone actually here?"

The group chat was silent for a few seconds.

Liu Yifei's finger hovered above the screen for a moment.

Then type: "There's a brat."

After thinking it over, Liu Yifei ultimately chose to delete the text.
