So, over the years, I had been living frugally and it had been a long time since I had such a meal.
"Let's toast for the past!"
I grabbed a bottle of beer and laughed with tears in my eyes, saying, "The past is the past, and I will never compromise again in my life. I will never worry about the past again!"
I had always been ignored, so why should I humiliate myself?
If I was not cherished, why should I maintain this relationship?
Ignoring the surprised looks of the many diners at the food stall, who looked at me as if I were a madman, I drank bottle after bottle of beer, crying and laughing.
Seven years of relationship disappeared in my heart at this moment!
Time was the best medicine. Perhaps the wounds in my heart would be healed one day, and perhaps I would completely forget Elena!
But the prerequisite was that I had to leave this small county and never had any contact with her again.
My 25th birthday was a turning point in my life!
After tonight, I would leave here and go to a strange city to start my new life.
When I was drinking alone at the food stall, my cell phone rang several times. They were all calls from Elena, but I hung up all of them.
If it was in the past, I would answer Elena's call as soon as possible, for fear that she would be angry if I answered it too late.
But now, I felt that I had lived a very humble life.
It was past ten o'clock at night when I returned to my rented house drunk.
The lights in the living room were on. Elena was sitting on the sofa, looking at me coldly.
She was very angry.
"Where have you been?
"Didn't I tell you before that you have to go home before nine o'clock at night? Are you ignoring my request now?
"Owen and I came back after sending Poe to the pet hospital. We wanted to celebrate your birthday with you and eat cake in the evening, but you went out to drink and didn't even answer my calls..."
She scolded me harshly, just like before.
I used to compromise no matter what happened, and gradually made her feel that I couldn't live without her!
Those who were favored were fearless, while those who were not loved were always cautious.
I wanted to ask her whether she still loved me.
Forget it, there was no point in talking about this now!
If she cared about me and wanted to celebrate my birthday with me in the evening, she would not miss the engagement ring I placed next to the cake!
"I'm tired!"
