Tears streamed down his face in large drops.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
He painfully covered his head.
"I don't know how I ended up like this..."
"I'm sorry, Xiaoyue..."
I scoffed, "You don't know?"
"Because you're worthless."
"You only realize the value of something when you've lost it."
"But it's too late now."
1
Engagement banquet.
A hall full of relatives and friends.
I faced it alone.
Gu Zhiming was late and couldn't be reached by phone.
My dad angrily smashed something and yelled at me, "You can't even handle an engagement banquet; what else can you do? It's really embarrassing!"
My mom looked at me reproachfully, "Xiaoyue, you know Zhiming is busy with work. Why did you insist on having an engagement banquet? Now everyone is here, and this..."
She had a troubled expression.
Her words were filled with blame.
Leading to the current awkward situation.
My dad nodded in agreement, "Mother-in-law, please don't be angry. Yiyue has always been forgetful and loves to show off; you'll have to be more understanding in the future."
I lowered my gaze and didn't argue.
I had long gotten used to it.
Being belittled by my biological father to the ground.
Gu Zhiming's parents exchanged a glance.
Aunt Gu sighed, "In-laws, don't be too angry. Zhiming's job is indeed special, and Xiaoyue understands him."
Uncle Gu nodded, "Don't be upset. When Zhiming comes back, I will definitely scold him."
As he spoke, he smiled helplessly, "This brat, daring not to show up even for the engagement banquet. Just wait until he returns; I'll deal with him!"
Everyone present laughed.
They could laugh.
But I couldn't.
Because I knew all too well—
Gu Zhiming wouldn't be coming back.
At least not today; he wouldn't appear again.
Under everyone's gaze, I lied, "Dad, Mom, Uncle Huo, Aunt Huo, Zhiming is on a sudden business trip and can't make it."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
I curled my lips, a sarcastic smile forming.
A lie.
I said it, and they believed it.
But in reality, everyone knew the truth.
It was a lie.
The next day when I woke up, Gu Zhiming still hadn't returned.
I have a secondary account where I only follow one person.
Just now, she posted an update.
"The bonds of fate, no one can escape."
Accompanied by a picture.
It’s Gu Zhiming.
My fingertips paused over the photo.
Backlit.
He looks down, his features sharp and handsome.
His expression is unclear.
The streetlight stretches the shadow, and I take a picture.
The shadow in the sunlight is intertwined with Lu Wan's shadow.
Indivisible.
Ironically glaring.
I instinctively glanced at the location where the photo was taken—
It’s the café across from the hotel where we had our engagement banquet.
My throat tightened, and my breath hurt.
Suddenly, I remembered when I first got together with Gu Zhiming.
In the sunlight, I shyly traced his shadow.
He helplessly took my hand.
I smiled happily.
I asked him, "You're my boyfriend now, right?"
He replied, "Yes."
After a pause, he added, "Always have been."
I was lost in sweetness and didn't notice the smile at the corner of his mouth stiffen for a moment.
Later, I found out.
That day, Lu Wan returned to the country.
Gu Zhiming was very happy.
He used to love me.
But this time, I didn't want to deceive myself anymore.
I calmly suggested breaking up.
"Break up?"
Gu Zhiming grabbed my hand, his handsome face darkening: "Chen Yiyue, what are you causing trouble for again?"
I threw my phone at him.
"If you don't want to marry me, then let's part on good terms."
"Who said I don't want to marry you?"
He shouted, pressing me against the wall and leaning down to kiss me.
