Five days later, I saw Nicole again.

When I woke up, Nicole showed me a rare friendly expression. "I brought you your favorite soup dumplings. Haven't you always been thinking about them?"

"Thank you, sis." I responded calmly.

Nicole didn't seem to expect my reaction to be so indifferent, and added a little embarrassedly: "Have you changed the bandage on your leg injury? It was because I forgot that day. The ceiling at the event site suddenly fell down and Sean was injured. I was in a hurry and forgot to change your bandage." "It's okay." I said softly.

"Is your brother-in-law okay?" I asked with concern.

Nicole looked up in surprise, not expecting me to bring up my brother-in-law. "He's fine, just a minor scratch."

" Also, Sean and I are getting engaged the day after tomorrow," she continued, "As a family member, you must attend. I'll send you the address later."

Hearing this, I tried my best to suppress the waves in my heart. I had a premonition of this day since Nicole's first relationship.

In the past, seeing her with other men, I would feel uncomfortable, sleepless, and even use alcohol to numb myself. But now, I have decided to treat Nicole as a relative. I should be happy when my relatives get engaged, right?

I forced myself to smile sincerely, "Congratulations, I will be there on time." Unfortunately, there was no mirror, so my smile was probably uglier than crying. But at least, it was progress. Step by step, I believe I can let it go.

I savored the steamed buns Nicole brought back, and opened WeChat aimlessly, but I saw Sean 's circle of friends who successfully proposed to me. "You are destined to be my moon." The picture was the nine photos of their proposal in the sea of flowers. I know that Nicole loves flowers the most, and this sea of flowers is probably what she imagined the proposal scene to look like.

But why do my favorite Xiaolongbao taste so salty and bitter now? It's really strange.
