How to Survive a Breakup

5.0

It's already 12:30, and I still can't fall asleep. The soundproofing of this wall is terrible. I can hear the heavy breathing of the man next door; what used to sound pleasant now feels grating. A few minutes later, I hear the sound of tissues being pulled, followed by the laughter of a man and a woman. My heart has grown cold to the point of numbness. The person living next door is my ex-boyfriend, Huo Chuan, and the one he's playing around with is his current girlfriend, Wang Yu. As for why I'm still living in this small two-bedroom apartment, it's because I broke up with him only 15 days ago.
