Updated 10/08/2026 9 min read

Before the engagement day, everyone gathered to play the game "Who is the insider?" The card I drew had the name of my boyfriend's ex-girlfriend. The game started, the boyfriend's sister was the first to describe: "A lot of fussy people, doesn't know how to behave." Without thinking, the boyfriend's best friend said: "My thoughts are too heavy, being with her makes people very uncomfortable." The boyfriend was silent for a long time and then said: "Jealousy is very strong." My sister also nodded and chimed in: "Moreover, she is extremely sensitive." My heart suddenly felt tense. I once met my boyfriend's ex-girlfriend, she wasn't as bad as they said. When it was my turn, I couldn't help but speak up to defend her. "Very smart, very beautiful, also very interesting." But my sister burst out laughing. "Sister, are you too narcissistic?" The next second, everyone burst out laughing. After that, I was voted out of the game by everyone. Only then did I realize that I was an insider. On their cards was my name. While I was still stunned, my best friend who had just gone out to buy a cold Coke came back. Six people, five bottles of Coke, and no part for me. I suddenly felt like everything was meaningless. The six of us grew up together since childhood. When I was a child sharing snacks, I was always the last one to eat. As an adult, every time people suddenly changed restaurants, no one informed me. Going whitewater rafting, the rubber raft didn't have enough space, so they agreed to let me join a boat with a stranger. If that's the case, there's no room for me in a small group, so I don't need to try to squeeze in anymore. …“Everyone just play, I'm a bit tired, I'll go home first.” I picked up my bag and left the room right before tears fell. But after closing, I couldn't move on anymore. I covered my face, squatted in front of the door and burst into tears. Immediately after that, there were a few words of advice from inside the room. "Duat Ngon, don't you chase after him? It seems like your sister-in-law is not happy." Tham Duat Ngon's voice did not have the slightest wavering. "No need, she will adjust herself." His sister continued: "That's right. From childhood to adulthood, we have shunned it like that, and it still seems like nothing happened." "Perhaps this is the supernatural ability to slow down." Inside the room there was another sound. laugh. Right after that, his brother's voice came out. "She didn't even know the day of the concert, we deliberately tried to push her away so that Thien Thien could fulfill her wish." "Kissing goodbye at Jay Chou's concert is also considered a romantic ending." "To be honest, Duat Ngon and Thien Thien couldn't make it to the end, we regret it more than anyone." "Today's game will be the last time we vent our anger on Thien's behalf." Thien." My best friend quickly shushed. "Shh, remember to keep it a secret, absolutely don't let anyone find out." "She's so sensitive, if she knew about it, she would definitely make a fuss." "Especially her parents, they wouldn't say anything by accident, right?" My sister patted her chest reassuringly. "Don't worry, I've told my parents." "They pamper you the most, whatever you say they will do." follow.” My heart suddenly skipped a beat. It turned out that that day, mother did not accidentally twist her waist, nor did father accidentally go on a business trip. Everyone hid it from me, just to give the two of them a chance to kiss goodbye. I don't know how I got out of there. It was clearly the middle of summer, and I felt cold all over my body. Sitting in the taxi, I had only one thing on my mind. I trembled as I picked up the phone and called my best friend. "During the time Tham Duat Ngon and I were in love, was he always involved with his ex-girlfriend?" "Did you always... know about it?" I wanted my best friend to tell me.

to me it was all just a joke that wasn't funny at all. But she frankly admitted. "Yes, I always knew." "At first, I also felt that Tri Thien Thien was a shameless third party." "But as we interacted more and more, I gradually discovered that she was a good girl." "On rainy days, she would give her umbrella to a stray dog that was getting wet." "She also raised money for girls forced to quit school to work, helping them buy sanitary napkins." "She is good." Like that, it's very difficult for people to not like her." I just felt a sting in my nose. "So what about me? Do I deserve to be betrayed by everyone?" She was stunned for a moment, then changed her tone. "Look, this is the biggest difference between you and her." "You always compare every little thing, even if it's reasonable you don't let go of others, just like a bitter woman." "Honestly, the two of them together are a better match." "I couldn't believe it as I looked at the person who was once my best friend. Obviously, when she was subjected to school violence, it was I who stood up to protect her and was almost destroyed. Apparently, when she discovered my first boyfriend was having an affair, she was determined to help me take revenge. Apparently she swore to be my best friend for life. But now, she is firmly on the opposite side of me. As soon as the call ended, the wedding planning company immediately called. "Miss Lam, your wedding may have to change a few details, need your confirmation." "The wallflowers at the scene have been changed to fleur-de-lis, the desserts have also been changed to products made from oat milk." I was stunned for two seconds. "Is it Tham Duat Ngon who changed it?" The staff hesitated. "It was a girl named Tri who proposed, Mr. Tham said he gave her full authority to make the arrangements." Left. My heart skipped a beat again. I'm allergic to fleur de lis, just coming into contact with it can cause me to suffocate. Tham Duat Ngon knows that. But now, just because of one sentence from Tri Thien Thien, he doesn't care about my safety. My heart is completely silent. I typed a lot of words and ended up deleting them all. "There's no problem with the details." "It's just that you've mistaken something very important..." After hanging up the phone, I started packing my luggage, but discovered that there weren't many things in this house that belonged to me. On the balcony is a pot of betel leaves and betel leaves that they bought at the flower and bird market. On the sofa are souvenirs they brought back from their trip to Disneyland. Even the refrigerator was filled with drinks and fruits that the five of them loved. As for the strawberries I like to eat, they are placed in the innermost corner, crushed by surrounding objects to the point of being distorted and protruding. Apparently, before moving in, Tham Duat Ngon repeatedly emphasized to me: "This is our own little home, no one will come to disturb." But now, everything is completely contrary to his promise. Tham Duat Ngon returned home drunk, carrying a portion of the famous cake on the internet in his hand. "Honey, don't be angry anymore." "What everyone said today was not sincere." "It's just a game, they have no bad intentions." He pleased me by opening the cake box and pushing it in front of me. "I bought your favorite cake, consider it as if I'm apologizing to you on their behalf." I said nothing, my eyes stopped on the strawberry sponge cake. One corner of the cake was missing, clearly someone had taken a bite. Actually, I don't like strawberry-flavored foods. It was only because the five of them didn't like to eat that it was finally my turn. Over time, they started to think that I liked it. Now, my intuition tells me that this piece of strawberry sponge cake is Tri Thien Thien's leftovers. I raised my head to look at Tham Duat Ngon. “Tham Duat Ngon, cancel the marriage

Say goodbye." "Things Tri Thien Thien no longer needs, I also don't want." A sentence with two layers of meaning. Tham Duat Ngon's drunkenness immediately disappeared. His face looked surprised, and at the same time a little angry at being exposed. "So Anh, what are you talking about?" "Can you not be so sensitive? It's just a cake but it makes me think wildly." "You and her are in the past. You like that really make me very tired." I couldn't help but ask: "Does being with me make you tired?" "Why do I feel like it's because you have to hide from me for so long that you're tired?" Tham Duat Ngon and I dated for a while when we were in high school. After he went abroad, we had a long-distance relationship for four years. It was very difficult to wait for him to return home, but he kept postponing the wedding he promised me. Everyone around me advised me that This kind of thing cannot be forced. So I believed and continued to wait. But today I learned that four years between him and Tri Thien Thien were mixed. It's no wonder he never made our relationship public. He always said it too childishly, afraid that the photos he posted to his friends circle would be bad. If I accidentally got into the frame, he would immediately delete the photos and post them I used to cry and question whether he was hiding something or not, he just patted my head and smiled. "Dear, I did it because I wanted to be good for you." "We are so happy, there will be people who are jealous." At that time, I really believed, and even felt that he was thoughtful and caring. Now I understand, he was just afraid that the person he really cared about would misunderstand. I looked at him, suddenly feeling extremely funny. "Tham Duat Ngon, To Man Tam has told me everything, do you still want to lie?" He immediately panicked, wanting to hug me. "Sho Anh, it's not what you think, listen to me explain..." I used my strength to push his arms away. During the struggle, I accidentally pushed him on the back of his waist. Tham Duat Ngon immediately squatted to the ground in pain. I stood there stunned, momentarily confused, not knowing what to do. Tham Duat Ngon was injured. The back injury was very serious, and it became like that because of me. In twelfth grade, when I was walking alone at night, a bad guy stopped me in the alley. At a critical moment, he was like a god descending from the sky, saving me from the sticks of four or five thugs. But because of that, he broke three ribs, leaving behind irreversible damage. He couldn't even swim anymore Cutting off my future as a professional athlete. At that time, I even thought that it was better to let myself be humiliated, why did I make that phone call to him? But he hugged me and gently comforted me. "If something happened to you, I would no longer have a reason to win the championship." At that time, his love for me really made people proud. But now, he really hurt me to the core ambulance, took Tham Duat Ngon to the hospital. After paying the hospital fee and preparing to leave, I suddenly remembered that my coat was still left in the hospital room. I quickly returned to the hospital room door and immediately heard a crying voice. "Doesn't she know that your waist is injured? How could she be so cruel? "Tham Duat Ngon carefully wiped away her tears and gently comforted her. "Don't cry anymore, I'm not in pain. This was originally my fault for her.”
