I started to become like the old Xu Qin, coming home very late, or preferring to stay overnight at my best friend's house rather than seeing him.

He started coming home early and frequently, just like the old me when I was chasing after him, becoming more and more concerned about every little thing concerning me.

He dragged on and refused to divorce, always finding various excuses not to sign the papers.

I'm not in a hurry either.

I'm even willing to see how he pursues me.

Watching him time and time again, full of hope, wanting to bring me surprises and warmth, and then time and time again, leaving disappointed.

I looked at him, and suddenly I understood.

So this is how it was when I was chasing after him in the past.

Xu Qin is even more indifferent. When I was chasing after him back then, I encountered countless barriers, so many.

I started to feel curious.

How did I persist in chasing after him for such a long time?

So humble, humble to the dust.

Is it because of this that he feels I'm dispensable, cheap, and worthless?

I thought for a moment, swaying the glass in my hand, shaking my head and smiling.

All the things that are easily obtained in this world are always easily overlooked.

"Xia Ruo, look, look over there, there's a handsome guy!" My best friend nudged me from the side. "Is he looking at you, Xia Ruo?"

In the bar, amidst the neon lights, I saw a refined figure.

That young man turned his head, revealing a face as elegant and pure as snow, with a touch of youthfulness and otherworldliness.

With just one glance, I was captivated.

It really looks like the face of Xu Qin from back then.

I was so distracted that I didn't even notice the young man pushing through the crowd and approaching me.

It wasn't until he stood in front of me that he slightly shyly took out his phone and asked if I could give him my contact information.

My best friend was laughing in secret from the side, nudging me. "As expected."

This wasn't the first time I had encountered this.

It seems like I always easily attract the type of young guys who are like puppies.

Before I could answer, someone grabbed my wrist forcefully from behind, and a voice with a hint of gritted teeth came out, "Xia Ruo."

I turned my head.

Xu Qin was holding a large bundle of gorgeous roses, their fragrance filling the air.

He held onto my finger and wore a gleaming, cold diamond ring.

But my hand was already empty.

He looked at the young man for a moment, then looked at me with a touch of coldness.

I raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?" He leaned closer to my face, forcefully suppressing his anger, and said, "Today is our wedding anniversary."

Upon hearing this, I felt even more surprised. "But you never cared about this kind of holiday, did you?"

As I said that, I found it funny and burst into laughter.

There wasn't a single wedding anniversary where he was present.

Either he was busy with work or had other reasons for not being there.

Xu Qin froze, and after a moment, he silently stuffed the large bundle of roses into my hands. "Let's go home."

Home.

I lowered my head and looked at the roses, still dripping with water, and then threw them into the nearby trash can.

Xu Qin didn't have time to stop me, he just turned his head to look at me, his eyes filled with obscurity.

My best friend leaned over from the side and took the opportunity to add, "Xia Ruo is allergic to pollen, didn't you know?"

I broke free from his grasp, not looking at his momentarily astonished and dim eyes.
