After I broke up with him, he cried to his best friend every day.
"I dreamed about her again last night."
His best friend was annoyed: "Only dead people visit in dreams."
Jayden sobbed: "Then she must have died for our love."
The response was cold: "Only vengeful ghosts haunt people."
Jayden: "But we made eye contact in the dream."
The friend was exasperated: "Pigs look up before they're slaughtered."
Later, his best friend met me and froze on the spot.
After a while, his ears turned red, and he gritted his teeth.
"Didn't you say she was ugly and bad, a cheater who likes pretty boys?"
Jayden giggled: "I was afraid you'd steal her."
His best friend sneered:
"Jayden, I've had a crush on her for six years."
"You despised her for liking pretty boys, so beat it."
"I'm somewhat attractive; I'll court her first!"

I broke up with Jayden.
This trust fund baby truly didn't know the hardships of life.
I borrowed some money from him for my sister's medical bills, and he just gave me bullshit, saying:
"Women should be independent. You can definitely earn enough money yourself!"
"Besides, going Dutch is popular in dating now. It's good enough that I don't make you split the bills when we eat out."
"I have $50,000, but I don't want to give it to you. I don't want our pure love tainted by the smell of money."
"Furthermore, I believe you're definitely not a gold digger, baby."
Believe my ass.
I am a gold digger.
A gambling dad, a sick mom, a disabled sister, and miserable me.
If I didn't find a way to get some money, I really couldn't survive.
But speaking of which, I wasn't really digging for gold.
I'd been this rich kid's on-call nanny for almost six months.
At first, he agreed to $2,000 a month.
The result was he paid the first month, and then just gave me bullshit about how talking about money hurts feelings.
Psycho.
Jayden cried pathetically, reaching out to pull me:
"Baby, don't go, I don't want to break up with you."
I held out my hand for money: "Then lend me $50,000."
Jayden: "That won't work."
I rolled my eyes, shook him off, and left directly.
Wasting my time.
With this time, I could have polished shoes for Young Master Luke, brought breakfast for Miss Song, and earned a cool thousand.
My sister was still lying in the hospital bed waiting for my money to get a prosthetic limb.
