She decided to wait one more minute. If he continued to ignore her, she would completely give up on him.
But before the minute was up, her heart was already dead.
Because he suddenly started walking in her direction. It seemed someone was calling him from that side. When he passed by her, he still didn’t notice her.
If he couldn’t see her from three feet away, she might have held onto a sliver of hope, but now, all hope was gone.
He wasn’t near-sighted, and she wasn’t air. Their mutual estrangement could only mean one thing – they were always strangers!
Strangely, she didn’t cry, didn’t even feel like crying. At this moment, she was unusually calm.
Perhaps all sorrow and pain have their limits. Beyond that point, there is neither joy nor sorrow. Like great sound becoming rare, like an elephant becoming formless.
She was truly tired of this love. Tired of the pain after heartbreak that had tortured her unbearably. Now she just wanted to put down her burden and want nothing.
She retreated to a corner, standing by the buffet table.
She should have left quickly, but the bride and groom had just entered, and she didn’t want to do anything discourteous. She picked up a glass of fruit wine, intending to drink it quickly to calm herself.
Unexpectedly, something suddenly rushed to her side and crouched under the table, startling her.
“Shh!” Looking closely, it was a girl. Wearing a white hat covering half her face, she put her index finger to her lips, signaling her to be quiet.
Qiu Yuting was stunned, not understanding what was happening.
After a while, the girl licked her lips, seeming very thirsty. She quietly reached out and grabbed the fruit wine from Qiu Yuting’s hand, gulping it down under the table.
“Mm, not bad,” the girl muttered, placing the empty glass on the floor and looking up with a wink. “Hey, sister, can you help me with something?”
“What?” Qiu Yuting was bewildered.
“Check if the bride and groom have noticed me. Please!”
“Uh?” she looked back. “They’re chatting with an elderly couple and probably haven’t noticed you…”
“Phew—” the girl let out a long sigh. “That’s good!”
“What exactly happened?”
Why was she afraid of the bride and groom?
