I listened to the busy tone on the phone and smiled helplessly.
Wen Renlan was still as willful as before.
But thankfully, her rationality was still intact.
At least when it came to mentioning Zuo Qiucong, she still had her wits about her.
I hung up and glanced at the time.
It was one-thirty in the morning.
Suddenly, I remembered a time when Wen Renlan got drunk and called me.
When I rushed over, she was video chatting with Zuo Qiucong.
It was winter then, and the weather was particularly cold.
I braved the biting wind to get to her location, my hands and feet numb from the cold.
However, as soon as she saw Zuo Qiucong on the video, she instantly sobered up.
She waved at me and said, "You can go back now, I don't need you anymore."
I stood there, my limbs tingling, at a loss for what to do.
Seeing that I was still standing there, Wen Renlan frowned and asked, "Why aren't you leaving?"
"This has nothing to do with you anymore."
"I'm going to video chat with Qiucong."
I remained rooted to the spot, my body frozen, unable to take a step forward.
Wen Renlan urged me again, "Why aren't you leaving?"
"Your presence here will affect our romantic conversation."
I stood there watching Wen Renlan greet Zuo Qiucong gently.
My heart suddenly turned cold.
In that moment, I felt a pang of realization.
Had Wen Renlan never liked me at all?
Otherwise, how could she be so cruel to me?
I took care of her all night, yet she kept calling out someone else's name.
Several times, I wanted to shake Wen Renlan awake and ask her what she really thought of me.
But in the end, I held back.
I sat on the sofa in the living room all night, smoking the entire time.
When Wen Renlan woke up, she was coughing from the smoke filling the room.
She asked me, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing."
Wen Renlan frowned slightly. "Are you in a bad mood?"
"No."
Wen Renlan didn't press further; she tidied up and got ready to leave.
I asked her where she was going.
She said, "Qiucong asked me to come over."
I suddenly found it a bit amusing.
What did I mean to Wen Renlan?
Just an expendable substitute?
After Wen Renlan left, I suddenly realized something.
I shouldn't deceive myself any longer.
The person Wen Renlan likes is not me; no matter how hard I try, she will never like me.
So, I decided to give up.
I no longer cared how Wen Renlan viewed me.
I knew that Huai Jing and I were serious about each other.
We had already missed ten years; I didn't want to waste another ten.

Huai Jing and I were busy preparing for our wedding.
We are trying on wedding outfits.
My phone keeps ringing; it's Wen Renlan sending me WeChat messages.
There were days when she wouldn't send a single message.
"What are you doing?"
"Why aren't you replying to me?"
"Are you getting married to Huai Jing?"
"Are you out of your mind?"
"Lan Luo, say something!"
...
I sighed helplessly and answered Wen Renlan's call.
Wen Renlan's voice was very excited, with a hint of crying.
"Lan Luo, why are you ignoring me?"
"Do you know how worried I am about you!"
"Why are you marrying Huai Jing?"
"Do your parents know about this?"
"Hurry up and cancel the wedding; I'll go back and talk to your parents."
"Your parents will definitely not agree to you marrying Huai Jing!"
...
I quietly listened to Wen Renlan on the phone. After she finished speaking, I finally spoke up.
" Wen Renlan, stop making a fuss."
"I am marrying Huai Jing because we are in love."
