Almost everyone who came today was a
friend of theirs.
They had always felt that Seraphina and
Dubois were a match made in heaven, and
that they had grown up together as childhood
sweethearts.
As for me, I was just an interloper who had
snuck in after they broke up.
I was not worthy of Dubois at all, and I was
no match for Seraphina.
#
Before, I cared too much about Dubois and
didn’t want him to be uncomfortable among
his friends, so I chose to endure their
difficulties and taunts.
I even took the initiative to please them, but
the result was even greater malice and
ridicule.
Prejudice in people’s hearts is like a
mountain, and no matter how hard you try,
you can’t move it.
Now, I choose to ignore them and find a
corner to sit down.
What other people think is their business,
don’t let these small things affect and drain
you.
“Why are you sitting so far away? You’re late.
Aren’t you going to come over and propose a
toast to the birthday girl and apologize!”
I raised my eyes and swept over them,
answering coldly, “I don’t want to drink.”
I had always been obedient to him, and his
momentary resistance refuted his face, and
he was stunned for a moment before
scolding.

“What’s wrong with you again?”
Seraphina, who was on the side, pulled
Dubois’s arm with a smiling face and said
softly: “It’s okay, it’s okay, if Ms. Yates
doesn’t want to drink, then she doesn’t have
to, it’s okay.”
Dubois then quieted down and turned to chat
with Seraphina warmly.
The two were chatting and laughing, and
Dubois’s friends were also looking at the
lovers with a loving gaze, and I seemed
superfluous in the distance.
The atmosphere at the scene was very hot,
and they all tacitly ignored me.
After Seraphina finished eating her longevity
noodles, Dubois took a tissue and wiped the
soup stains from the corners of her mouth,
her tender appearance, as if today was their
wedding banquet.
And he is the groom, and Seraphina is the
bride.
Two years of dating in college, plus five years
of marriage, a total of seven years.
I had never seen him act so gentle and kind.
“Dubois, I know you’re happy, but drink less. If
you get drunk today, no one will have time to
take you home!”
“Yeah, we don’t care.”
A few friends said, and Dubois laughed.
“If you don’t send her, then don’t send her, I
don’t care about her! I’m happy today.
Seraphina can drink as much as she wants,
and I’ll take her home.”
Hearing this, the hand that was picking up
food paused, feeling bitter in my heart, but
helpless.
