Troy breathed a sigh of relief and handed me the cake as if he what he gave me was a treasure.
"Well, this shop is now very popular. I queued for half an afternoon to buy it."
The small cake was indeed exquisite.
When did Troy start to know about popular shops?
When I told him about these shops before, he never had any patience to listen to me.
Who could be the friend who went shopping with him?
My heart was in chaos.
Before going to bed at night, I habitually opened the short video app and saw the woman I saw last time."
Today's content was about her shopping with her boyfriend.
The man who didn't appear in the camera generously and readily bought various expensive cosmetics for her.
In the video, the woman with fair and smooth skin smiled brightly.
"Sisters, remember, as women, we should love ourselves more!"
I subconsciously touched my face.
Once upon a time, I was also the focus of attention in school.
I was good-looking and good at studying.
But at the last class reunion, they all said I had changed.
My skin was dull, and I was not willing to buy expensive clothes. Even though I was not yet thirty, I looked more and more like a shrewd aunt in the market.
I turned my head and looked at the soundly sleeping Troy beside me.
Compared to my dullness, time hadn't left too many traces on his face.
Of course, although we were saving money to buy a house, his investment in himself was far greater than mine.
I used to not care, but now, I couldn't help but reflect.
Was my choice really right?
The video continued to play, and the two of them continued to buy things along the way. When they pass by a dessert shop in the mall, they stopped.
"Oh, this shop is so popular recently, there are so many people." The woman casually mentioned.
The boyfriend standing beside her immediately went to line up.
I saw the name of the dessert shop, which was the same shop that Troy brought me a cake from.
What a coincidence.
I wondered if Troy was also in line at that time?
But the video stops here, and I didn't see any familiar figure in the crowd.
I felt a little annoyed for no reason.
The cake was indeed delicious, but Troy's treatment towards me was really not even one-tenth of what the woman's boyfriend in the video treated her.
I knew it's not good to compare them, but I couldn't help but have internal conflicts.
Was I not worth being treated well by others?
