I sat in a street corner café, my coffee long since gone cold.
Through the floor-to-ceiling window, I saw him. Zhou Qiye, my fiancé. His fingertips rested gently on another woman's hand, his thumb caressing it as if it were the most precious treasure in the world. The woman laughed brightly, her smile radiant, and the tenderness in his eyes was something I had never seen before.
【Oh, the cannon fodder female supporting character still doesn't know her fiancé and his 'white moonlight' have rekindled their old flame.】
【The male lead is such a scumbag; one moment he's making a heartfelt confession to the female lead, the next he's openly flirting with someone else.】
【Countdown: In three days, the female supporting character will be completely abandoned at her wedding.】
My spoon clattered to the floor, *clink*, splashing cold coffee onto my clothes. My body stiffened even faster than my mind could register. Those golden captions, like curses and prophecies all at once, pulsed in mid-air, each word carving itself into my heart.
My breath was caught in my throat; I could almost hear the desperate shriek of my blood reversing course. These eyes, once praised by him as “full of starlight,” now bore witness only to this most naked betrayal.
I struggled to maintain my breathing, but that alien, piercing tenderness had already dragged me into the abyss. Zhou Qiye… His “I love you” still echoed in my ears, now a colossal joke.
