The first thing I did when I got home was putting myself in the bathtub.Only this momentary comfort could make me temporarily away from my troubles.
I put a bath bomb in the bathtub.The bubbles from the bath bomb covered my body under the water and also covered my scars.
I was about to open Weibo to distract myself,only to find every single post of mine had been liked from the first one to the latest one.
I thought it was strange until I clicked on the person's profile.
"The person you love the most will always remember your preferences no matter when."
The picture was of Emily Taylor and Ethan Thompson.
I don't know if it was on purpose,but a corner of Emily Taylor's clothes was lifted up,revealing a section of her tender,white and smooth waist.
Ethan Thompson and Emily Taylor were lying on the sofa.The soft sofa enveloped them,and the decoration in the room was the creamy style that Emily Taylor liked the most.
I thought the sofa looked very familiar.After a closer look,it turned out to be the sofa in Ethan Thompson's house before.
In order to erase the impression of Emily Taylor in his heart,I asked him to redecorate the house.
Ethan Thompson said he had thrown away all the furniture,but I didn't know that he had just moved them all to another house.
Ethan Thompson had two properties.He had always told me that the other house was a shabby unfinished house.
I once said I wanted to see it,but Ethan Thompson refused me.
I still remember the expression on his face when he made up that clumsy excuse.Looking back now, it was really botched, but at that time I didn't have the slightest doubt.
I looked through these photos in a masochistic way.This was far from the unfinished house that Ethan Thompson described.It was clearly a warm little nest where the love was reignited.
The second photo was a beautiful bouquet of flowers.Under the white jasmine,there was a circle of roses,and the roses were placed under the jasmine.
Over the eight years,Ethan Thompson had given me many flowers.I was afraid of the flowers wilting,so I took the bouquets apart and carefully placed the flowers in vases.It was precisely because of this that I found that there were also short-stemmed jasmine flowers inserted under the roses.
The jasmine was blocked by the roses and the tissue paper.If I hadn't taken the bouquet apart,I wouldn't have found it.
He had used his despicable selfishness to disgust two people.
I thought I didn't need to interfere with Ethan Thompson's dream today,but I found that the dream bubble representing Ethan Thompson kept flashing,which meant that his sleep quality was very poor and his dreams were intermittent.
With a delicate and fragrant beauty in his arms,why couldn't he sleep peacefully?
Out of selfishness,I slipped into his dream and found that Ethan Thompson was dreaming of a date with me.
I was stunned for a moment when I saw myself in Ethan Thompson's dream.
In the past eight years,I’d never featured in his dreams—not even as an extra.
Yet now, with Emily returned, he dreamt of me?
I thought it was rather ridiculous for a moment and left Ethan Thompson's dream.
For a whole month,I paid attention to Ethan Thompson's dreams.
After the second week,his dream bubbles became fewer and fewer,indicating that his sleep quality had dropped significantly.
Emily Taylor's Weibo was still being updated continuously.Every day,she would post new photos.
As expected,all of them were photos of Ethan Thompson accompanying her on outings.
The Ethan Thompson in the photos became visibly more haggard and vulnerable day by day.The time his eyes lingered on Emily Taylor in the photos was also getting less and less.
Until one day when I went out,I saw Ethan Thompson huddled at my door.
