If I hadn't shown up and Ethan Thompson hadn't introduced Emily Taylor,this scene would have appeared at the right moment when they clinked their glasses.
How romantic.
The starry sky,the viral-worthy restaurant,and the private reservation.
This was the setting for Ethan Thompson to introduce Emily Taylor to his brothers.
In a stuffy summer,at a street food stall,with a creaking fan.
This was the setting for Ethan Thompson to introduce me to his brothers.
I had thought that he was just a straight man and didn't understand romance,but I didn't know that he just didn't want to spend any effort on me.
I originally wanted to leave,but his friends herded me into a chair.
"Even the ex-girlfriend’s joining the fun."one crowed.
I looked at Ethan Thompson,but he didn't even give me a glance.He just gently plucked a grain of rice from her lip with reverent fingers.
"Since the ex-girlfriend is here,why don't we play truth or dare?"Ryan suggested.Ryan was Ethan Thompson's best friend.
No one at the table objected,and so we started this boring game.
I didn't expect them to target me so obviously.After I lost the first round,before I could even speak,Ryan whistled at me,"I've always thought the ex has a great figure.Since you're wearing two layers of clothes today,why don't you take off?"
I frowned."I haven't even said whether I choose truth or dare."
But Ryan laughed loudly."You don't get to choose."
I looked at Ethan Thompson."You also want me to do this dare,don't you?"
Before I could get a reply from Ethan Thompson,my outer shirt was torn off by them.
Under the shirt,I was only wearing a short vest.I panicked and covered the scars on my waist,but then I heard Ryan's exaggerated retching sound.
"God,Jin wasn’t kidding.These scars are just like centipedes,disgusting."
I was stunned for a moment,and then I looked at Ethan Thompson.His face also turned pale instantly.A trace of panic flashed in his eyes,but it quickly calmed down.
Ethan Thompson had kissed these scars tenderly before.He said he didn't know why there were so many scars on my body and that he just felt sorry for me and hoped his kisses could relieve my pain.
He felt sorry for me for having suffered so much.
So I was willing to change his dream bubbles for him and give him one good dream after another.
But he actually said behind my back in his group of friends that my scars were as disgusting as centipedes?
I suddenly understood why in the past few years,every time Ethan Thompson and I had some intimate moments,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 dense,deep and shallow scars?
I picked up my bag and was about to run away,but Ethan Thompson grabbed my wrist.
"Momo,it's not what you think.I didn't..."
Before he could finish,I slapped him.
Ethan Thompson couldn't dodge in time,and his face turned red on one side.
He laughed out of anger and pulled me into his arms.
"Momo,I don't think I've broken up with you yet."
He used a lot of strength,and his fingers clenched my arm so tightly that it almost broke my bones.
I couldn't break free from his grip.I lifted my foot and kicked him in his most vulnerable part.
Ethan Thompson winced in pain and .release me.
I took the opportunity to create some distance between us.
"Then I'm seriously telling you now,we're over,Ethan Thompson."
