I may no longer have the possibility of regret. The wealth accumulated in the past few years is enough to support me to get through the next thirty days safely, and I have no intention of looking for a job. However, my sleep is getting worse and worse, and I often wake up in the middle of the night with waves of trembling pain coming from deep in my bones.

The cold voice of the system sounded again: "Host, you don't have to endure such pain. Just make a little compromise and continue your strategy mission, and you can win more years." I know its good intentions, but my heart can no longer get close to Serena . Whenever I think of her, my heart is filled with endless hatred and disgust.

I have cleared everything about Serena , and I have sunk the ring to the bottom of the water. I remember when I bought the ring, we were in trouble. Although the ring was plain and the price was not high, it was the most precious thing I could buy at that time. For it, I chose to work part-time, and after several months, I finally saved enough money. The moment Serena put on the ring, she smiled like a flower, and she said to me: " Andrew , when we succeed in starting a business, I will buy you a bigger and more expensive ring! Let's run towards the best future together!"

From the age of 20 to 25, we spent five years together, from graduation to starting from scratch, and experienced countless storms. However, not long ago, she sat in front of the bed and said she wanted to break up with me coldly and decisively. It only took her three days to decide that she no longer loved me.

"Andrew, it's over between us." Her words were like ice spikes that pierced my bones. I woke up suddenly, only to find that there was no one on the other side of the bed. She took everything away, leaving nothing for me to worry about.

The next day, the phone kept ringing. I picked up the phone and it was my friend's voice: " Andrew , you won't forget that today is my engagement party, right? Why haven't you come yet?" I naturally couldn't miss my friend's engagement party. Back then, when we were starting a business, it was he who generously donated money and silently supported us until now. After so many years of friendship, we have become an indispensable part of each other's lives. What's more, my life has entered a countdown, and I don't want to leave any regrets in the remaining days.

I hurriedly packed up and rushed to the banquet. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Serena and Lucas . My friend didn't notice anything unusual and smiled and said: " I saved a seat for you next to Serena , go quickly." I declined his kindness and sat in the seat farthest from Serena . The people around us were still looking at us in confusion, as if they were surprised by Serena 's official announcement. I opened my phone and saw that the post had been deleted. It seemed that I was the only one who still remembered the official announcement.

Serena's cold eyes fell on me, as if she was sizing me up. I know that I have lost a lot of weight due to the pain in the past few days. She said in surprise, " Andrew , how did you lose so much weight?" I even caught a trace of heartache in her eyes. But for me, whether it was sympathy or pity, it didn't matter. I just felt sick.

The atmosphere was tense for a moment, then Lucas stood up and looked at me with a smile: "Andrew, are you still angry with me? I was sorry for what happened last time." He held the wine glass and toasted me from a distance. Logically, I should toast him back. But I knew that my health was getting worse and worse, and he was not worth hurting myself. So, I smiled lightly and filled the wine glass with water: "I'll toast you with water instead of wine. I don't care about the past anymore." This sentence was a response to both Lucas and Serena.
