Breakup Was Your Idea, Why Are You Crying When I Chase the School Belle? - Chapter 4

Chapter 4: You’re Worthless, But I Am Not—I Deserve Better, You Should Be Happy for Me:

Li Tian shouted in rage and threw a punch at Lin Chen.

Slap!

Another crisp sound echoed.

Lin Chen struck him with a slap mid-motion, interrupting his attack.

Now, both sides of Li Tian’s face bore bright red handprints.

“Did I say you could speak?”

His voice wasn’t loud, but everyone present heard it clearly.

The entire crowd was stunned, staring at Lin Chen in disbelief.

Some couldn’t help but swallow nervously.

In their eyes, at this very moment…

Lin Chen stood there, holding a bouquet of roses, yet his presence burned fiercely like a scorching flame!

Li Tian, the so-called campus heartthrob and basketball team captain, had just been slapped twice by Lin Chen!

As the captain of the basketball team, he was supposed to be athletic and strong.

What was going on?

Lin Chen, however, didn’t take Li Tian seriously.

His memories from his past life had completely resurfaced. All the skills and techniques he had learned were back.

Even though his current body wasn’t fully trained yet…

Dealing with Li Tian was more than easy enough.

“Lin Chen…”

“How could you hit me?”

He Manman finally snapped back to reality, looking at Lin Chen in shock.

Lin Chen only gave her two simple words in response.

“Break up.”

“He Manman, I’m dumping you.”

Her eyes widened.

Break up?

She was being dumped?

She suddenly remembered her conversation with Li Tian earlier.

“When are you going to break up with him?”

“As soon as I see him, I’ll dump him.”

But now…

Lin Chen had walked up, slapped her, slapped Li Tian twice, and then—

Without hesitation, he broke up with her!

It wasn’t her dumping Lin Chen.

It was Lin Chen dumping her!

“No!”

He Manman couldn’t accept this outcome.

This wasn’t how it was supposed to be.

Lin Chen, the loyal dog she had always seen him as—how could he dump her?

If anyone was doing the dumping, it should have been her!

“You’re joking, right?”

She noticed the roses in Lin Chen’s hands and said, “You even brought roses.”

“You must have planned a surprise for me, right?”

She naturally reached out, trying to take the bouquet from Lin Chen’s hands.

Slap.

Lin Chen smacked her hand away.

“Can you have some self-respect?”

“Roses are for loyal, devoted girls.”

“You don’t deserve roses.”

His gaze shifted to the wildflowers growing in the roadside flowerbed.

“Wildflowers are still flowers, after all.”

“You only deserve wildflowers.”

“Because, just like them, you’re everywhere—anyone can pick you.”

He Manman’s mind went completely blank.

These beautiful roses… weren’t for her?

She wasn’t worthy of roses?

She only deserved wildflowers?

And worse—he had just compared her to a wildflower, something anyone could take!

“You… you…”

He Manman was so furious that she could barely form words.

“How can you talk to me like that?”

“Aren’t I your goddess?”

Lin Chen responded calmly.

“You’re worthless.”

“I deserve better.”

Once upon a time…

He Manman had used the words ‘You’re great, but I deserve better’ to break up with Lin Chen.

Now…

Lin Chen was returning those exact words to her.

The moment he said, ‘You’re worthless,’ He Manman felt her mind buzzing.

She didn’t understand.

How had her obedient lapdog suddenly grown a backbone?

How did he dare speak to her like this?

“Stop talking.”

“If you say another word, I won’t talk to you for an entire day!”

She had used this tactic on Lin Chen many times before.

In He Manman’s mind, as long as she said these words, Lin Chen would immediately panic.

He would do anything to please her, to coax her back.

That’s how it had always been.

It had to be the same now.

He was just a dog she had tamed long ago!

“Heh.”

Lin Chen wasn’t flustered in the slightest.

Instead, he chuckled.

A light laugh.

More like a mocking sneer.

As if he didn’t care at all.

“Asking you to act like a decent human being seems to be too much to expect.”

As soon as those words fell, He Manman froze.
