“However, I have something to ask you. You can choose to answer or not, but I hope that you won’t lie to me. If you are not willing to say it, you can just be silent.”“Okay.”“How many girlfriends did you have before me? Anyone… I am referring to all those whom you have intimate contact with.” Fang Fang was pure and simple but not stupid. She had heard about the behavior of many others and was also aware of the existence of something called ‘one-night stand’ in this world.
Fang Fang was not that kind of person. After dating, she had never thought that her boyfriend would be such a person.
With Qiao Nan’s reminder today, Fang Fang was not so certain anymore. Hence, she left no means of escape from this issue.
The other party hesitated for a while. After one minute, he said in a helpless and heartbreaking manner, “Fang Fang, I won’t force you to do so if you don’t want to. We are already in the third year of our studies and are graduating in one year. If you insist, I am willing to wait for you. We can be truly together after we graduate and get married.” As for the other matters, Fang Fang didn’t have to care about it. They were all a thing of the ‘past’.
Before they dated, he was already aware that Fang Fang was a very chaste woman. He did not expect that his request would make her react so greatly. She nearly dragged him to the register for marriage immediately.
They were all students. It was really too early to register for marriage.
His initial thoughts were that he would tell his parents about Fang Fang’s existence when their relationship was more stable as he truly loved Fang Fang. After they graduated in one and a half years, he could then hold Fang Fang’s hands and walk down the wedding aisle with her, becoming the most intimate lovers in the world.
Wasn’t this a matter of natural course in a romantic relationship?
He had thought that his relationship with Fang Fang was so deep that they had reached this stage. He wanted to ‘have’ Fang Fang. Didn’t Fang Fang think the same way?
Fang Fang’s heart was in great pain. From her boyfriend’s words, she knew that Qiao Nan’s guess was possibly right. “If I insist, do you wish to answer me with silence?”
So, the usually gentle and considerate boyfriend who took such good care of her had accumulated much experience from other women. That was why she was defeated so soon and could have such a wonderful experience.
This was something that she had never thought of before Nan Nan told her about it.
The other party took a deep breath and said in an embarrassed and indulgent tone, “There are a few of them but it all happened in the past. I am not fickle-minded. I also don’t have the habit of two-timing. Before I got together with you, I was single. After you agreed to be my girlfriend, I did not have any immoral or ambiguous relationship with any other girl too. Fang Fang, I am already of this age. It is not strange for me to have dated more than once. I hope that you can understand and don’t take it to heart.”
Bam! Fang Fang hung up the phone emotionally.
Fang Fang’s face was red in fury. Was she concerned about how many girlfriends he had before? She was concerned about how many he had slept with before!
When her boyfriend made the request that day, he looked so calm and deeply in love. That ease of dealing with the situation… The more Fang Fang recalled the situation, the more her heart bled.
She did not have any experience in this area. When she heard her boyfriend’s sudden request, she felt angry, embarrassed, and lost. Hence, she had missed out on many observations.
Based on his presence of mind that day, it confirmed Nan Nan’s two words: a veteran!
She reacted so greatly upon hearing him. However, her boyfriend was so calm. He had to be very experienced in order to attain this extent of behavior.
Based on her understanding of him in this six-month relationship, Fang Fang could not refuse to admit that when her boyfriend said there were a few, Qiao Nan was possibly right that they could not finish counting the number of women that he had slept with with just one hand.
Fang Fang was fuming initially. Thereafter, she was badly shaken. She looked as dejected and listless as pickled vegetables and gave out a strange feeling all over her. Qiao Nan held her head in agony. “Fang Fang, you’re not good in your judgment of character. Fortunately, your luck is not bad. That man is quite honest. After all, he didn’t lie to you that he only has one woman. Actually, to a man, there is a possibility of being forgiven if he had one or a few women before. However, in my opinion, to a woman, there is no difference.”
Anyway, she was someone that could not tolerate any unfairness. They were friends. She believed that Fang Fang was of the same opinion.
Fang Fang opened the towel and covered her tear-stricken face.
She had thought that she was so fortunate to have immediately met her soul mate in her first love. She had met a dream partner who had fulfilled all her criteria. When she was dating, it simply felt as wonderful as a dream that she could not bear to wake up from.
Perhaps she had really been bullied and exploited too harshly by Gao Yan when she was a child. Fang Fang wholeheartedly wanted to find a man who was the complete opposite of Gao Yan.
Gao Yan was very domineering. Whenever he felt that he was doing it for Fang Fang’s good, he would simply decide for Fang Fang without caring about the latter’s will. This boyfriend of hers would not do so. Although he already had plans in mind, he would first consult Fang Fang and seek her views before deciding.
If they had different views and could not reach a consensus, her boyfriend would accommodate Fang Fang and heed her arrangements.
Many said that youngsters nowadays were the only child. All were mother’s precious darlings who were bad-tempered. Fang Fang’s boyfriend was not like that.
True enough, a dream was a dream. Regardless of how wonderful it was and how unwilling she was willing to wake up, there was a time where the dream had to end.
After wiping the tears from her face, Fang Fang sniffed without care for her image, looking so apathetic. “You’re right. I don’t know if others find a difference between having one or two women. But to me, there is certainly no difference. He is quite good. It’s just that we may not be compatible.” Since they were not suitable for each other, break up then!
Qiao Nan raised her brows in disbelief. “You’ve decided so soon? Aren’t you getting along quite well with him? Are you really sure that you want to break up with him immediately because of this? You’re not going to communicate with him?”
Without Gao Yan’s existence, this man might not be Fang Fang’s best option but he should not be the worst.
Fang Fang sniffed hard. She lifted her face so that she could hold back the tears that were flowing out again due to Qiao Nan’s words. “I will be responsible for my own happiness. I understand what you mean. Breaking up is the decision that I have made after careful consideration. It’s not something that I decided in the fit of anger.”
Precisely, it was because this was her first love and first boyfriend that she hoped that his relationship would be perfect. This requirement was too much.
