If I hadn't appeared and Michael hadn't introduced Emily,this scene would have appeared at the right time when they clinked their glasses.
How romantic.
The starry sky,a well-known online restaurant
,and reserving the whole place.
This was the setting for Michael to introduce Emily to his brothers.
In a sweltering summer,at a street food stall,with a creaking fan.
This was the setting for Michael to introduce me to his brothers.
I had originally thought that he was just a straightforward man who didn't understand romance,but I didn't expect that he just didn't want to spend any effort on me.
I originally wanted to leave,but I was seated by Michael's brothers.
"Today is so much fun.Our old friend
can also play with us."
I looked at Michael.He didn't even give me a glance.Instead,he gently picked a grain of rice from the corner of Emily's mouth.
"Since our old friend is here,why don't we play truth or dare?"Xu Ran suggested.Xu Ran was Michael's best friend.
No one at the table objected,so everyone started this dull game.
I didn't expect them to single me out so obviously.After I lost the first round,before I could even speak,Xu Ran whistled at me,"I've always thought our old friend has a good figure.Seeing that you're wearing two layers of clothes today,why don't you take off your coat?"
I frowned."I haven't even said whether I choose truth or dare."
But Xu Ran laughed loudly."Our old friend,you don't have a choice in this."
I looked at Michael."You also want me to take this dare,don't you?"
Before I could get an answer from Michael,my blouse was torn off by them.
Under the shirt,I was only wearing a camisole.I panicked and covered the scars on my waist,but then I heard Xu Ran's exaggerated retching sound.
"Brother Jin,what you said is really true.These scars are just like centipedes.They're really disgusting."
I was stunned for a moment,and then I looked at Michael.His face also turned pale instantly.A trace of panic flashed in his eyes,but it quickly returned to composure.
Michael had kissed these scars tenderly before.He said he didn't know why I had so many scars on my body and that he just felt sorry for me.He hoped his kisses could relieve my pain.
He felt sorry for me for having suffered so much.
So I was willing to help him change his nightmares for him and give him one good dream after another.
But he actually said behind my back in his friends that my scars were as disgusting as centipedes?
I suddenly understood why in the past few years,every time I had some intimate moments with Michael,he always turned off the lights.
Every time he whispered in my ear that it was more romantic with the lights off,was he actually thinking that he didn't want to see my numerous scars?
I picked up my bag and was about to flee,but Michael grabbed my wrist.
"Lily,it's not what you think.I didn't..."
Before he could finish,I slapped him.
Michael couldn't react in time,and the side of his face turned red.
He snarled and pulled me into his arms.
"Lily,I don't think I've broken up with you yet."
He used excessive force,and his fingers clenched tightly around my arm,almost crushing my bones.
I couldn't break free.I raised my foot and kicked him in his groin.
Michael let go of me in pain.
I took the opportunity to put some distance between us.
"Then I'm seriously telling you now,we're over,Michael Johnson."
