I appeared in front of everyone in wet clothes, looking miserable. Rachel kept her distance from me, as if she was afraid of being associated with me. When Wayne saw me, he pouted and looked unhappy. I vaguely heard Rachel whispering to comfort him: "I don't feel sorry for him, I just want to embarrass him and let everyone know that without me, he is worse than a dog."

Facing the doubts and ridicules from the people around me, I was calm. Perhaps, I had been heartbroken so many times that I had become numb. I asked the waiter for a blanket, sat on the sofa, and watched people coming and going.

At this moment, Will called. He told me that he had contacted several companies for me and that I was always welcome to interview. Before he finished speaking, a hand suddenly rested on my shoulder. I turned my head and saw Rachel looking at me with a puzzled expression.

"Who are you calling? What kind of interview? Where are you going?" Her series of questions caught me off guard.

I lied casually, "Advertising sales." Her frown gradually relaxed and she sneered, "That's right, your parents don't want you anymore, where else can you go? The rain has stopped, there's nothing for you to do here, go home first."

" Remember to wash my coat." I didn't respond and threw her coat on the sofa. Wayne tilted his head to look at me for a while, and insisted on taking Rachel with him to send me off.

When we reached the side of the road, Wayne suddenly stretched out his foot and tripped me. I lost my balance and fell towards the rose bush on the side of the road. "Jingwen!" Rachel wanted to reach out and pull me, but Wayne's exclamation made her turn around and return to him instantly. I fell into the thorn bush, and the sharp thorns pierced my body. The mud on the ground made me look even more embarrassed.

I struggled to get up and saw Rachel gently bending down to wipe the water stains off Wayne's shoes. She glanced at me, a trace of guilt flashing in her eyes. "Jingwen, are you okay... I'll take you to the hospital." Wayne's eyes were red, and he held Rachel 's hand and said, "You promised to accompany me today. Today is our anniversary of holding hands. How can you leave me alone?"

Rachel hesitated between us. I said calmly, "I can go to the hospital by myself. You are the boss and it's not good to leave early." She breathed a sigh of relief, "Then be careful. I'll go home and bring you your favorite cheesecake."

Cheesecake is actually Wayne's favorite. But at this moment, I have no intention to refute. No matter when, I am always the one who is abandoned and sacrificed. Instead of waiting foolishly for love that does not belong to me, it is better to be sensible and leave early.
