Fortunately, my workload at school became heavy. So, I returned to the laboratory to continue my research. I thought doing the experiment could temporarily make me forget about the problem bet**en Aaron and me. But I had overestimated my willpower.

After breaking up with him, I even lost the patience and concentration to do experiments which were the basic requirements for researchers. In the quiet office, my thoughts always wandered for no reason. Only then did I realize that life without Aaron was so suffering.

I was living like a walking dead and did not know what to do in the future without him. As time passed, I became increasingly sure I could not afford to lose him. I must get him back.

As long as I had time, I could not help taking out my phone to see if he had replied to my messages. Unfortunately, he had never responded.

The only thing making me feel glad now was that he had not blocked me yet. I sought pleasure in sorrow, telling myself maybe this was the best result.

“Olive!”

When I was in a trance during an experiment, Nick suddenly snatched the test tube from my left hand and the mobile phone from my right one. Coming back to my senses, I subconsciously looked at him.

“You use the wrong reagents!”

He put the test tube and mobile phone aside and seriously asked, “What’s the matter with you? Why can’t you concentrate on the experiment?”

While speaking, he frowned, but his eyes were full of concern.

I stiffly forced a smile. Looking at the mobile phone on the desk, I couldn’t help wondering what if Aaron sent me a message now. I knew I was having a pile dream, but I could not prevent myself from having such a fantasy.

Nick held my shoulders and said with a gloomy face, “Olive, look at you! You are like a walking dead.”

While speaking, he picked up a mirror and held it in front of my face.

Since breaking up with Aaron, I had not looked in the mirror for a long time. When I subconsciously looked at myself in the mirror, I found my red hair dry like straw and my face pale like ashes. And there were dark circles under my eyes. So, I reached out to touch my dry cheek. It had only been a few days, but I had become so haggard.

I also wanted to pull myself together. But as long as I thought of Aaron, I felt as if there were a void in my heart. I had lost interest in everything. If I had known dating him would make me so heartbroken, I would not have…

I wanted to say something tough. But I knew that even if I had known dating him would make me feel distressed like dying, I would still be with him. After all, he was so nice.

“Come on! Cheer up!”

Nick shook my arms and asked with a gossiping face, “Why have you been so dep**ssed recently? What happened?”

During the holiday. I had hung out with Aaron every day. My life had been so happy and fulfilling that I had not even thought of posting an update on Facebook. When chatting with Nick, I had always hung up in a hurry. So, he didn’t know what had happened to me

I did not want to talk about Aaron with him. We had broken up, and I did not want Nick to worry about me. So, I forced a smile and said. “Come on! I must go on the experiment.”

Nick sighed, put the mirror on the desk, turned to look at me, and asked, “I heard you are dating Aaron. Why are you so preoccupied?

Did you quarrel with him?”

I shook my head and denied, “No.”

I did not want to continue this topic, so I picked up the test tube, intending to resume the experiment. The reason for the quarrel was too ridiculous and stupid, so I did not want others to know.

“Are you denying dating or quarreling with him?” Nick asked curiously.

I paused my hands, gave him a perfunctory nod, and changed the subject, asking, “Long time no see. How are you doing?”

After finishing speaking, I found his face ruddy and radiant. So, I asked in surprise, “Have you divorced Tim?”

“Yes! I have not only divorced Tim but also found my soulmate.”

Nick patted me on the shoulder with a smile and said mysteriously, “Guess who I’m dating now?”

Seeing him stop asking about Aaron, I breathed a sigh of relief. But after racking my brain, I still couldn’t guess who his boyfriend was.

So, I shook my head and asked, “Who?”

“I knew you could never guess who he is!” Nick smiled smugly, “I’m dating David.”

“David?”

I covered my mouth in shock because I had never expected David to be gay.

Nick smiled to his ears and said, “You don’t need to feel so shocked. It is David who helped me divorce Tim. After having more dealings with each other, we fell in love.”

When he was recalling the happy memories, he smiled smugly

Seeing him so delighted, I thought of Aaron again. He always had an aversion to David. I couldn’t figure out why he disliked such a respected professor before. But now……

Since David was gay, maybe he had chased after Aaron before.

I subconsciously fumbled for my phone, intending to ask Aaron for confirmation. But when I found my pocket empty, I suddenly realized we had broken up. Nick had cheered me up a little just now, but I felt blue again.

I felt my stomach knot with dep**ssion, so I could not congratulate him as usual.

Seeing my bitter smile, Nick patted my shoulder sympathetically and said, “There is a new bar nearby, and the bartender is manly.

Would you like to have a drink with me tonight? My treat.”

I was in no mood for such things now, so I said, “No, thanks. I’ll continue the experiment tonight. After all, I am behind schedule now.”

I was still worried about Aaron, so I had no energy to go to see a manly bartender.

“Fine!” Nick shrugged.

He fiddled with his phone for a while and suddenly asked, “Olive, have you ever thought about what to do after graduation? Will you continue doing scientific research or go to work in a company?”

I froze for a moment and then shook my head blankly, “I have no idea.”
