Why did I become so cowardly when I really encountered something?
I rubbed my cheeks, trying to make myself look less stiff. "Colin, where did you go just now? Why are you sweating?"
He casually wiped his forehead with his finger. "I went to look at some houses and suddenly felt thirsty. So, I went to the supermarket to buy a bottle of water.
"Then, I happened to run into Jasmine and wanted to ask her about her rehabilitation progress. So we wandered there for a while. It was quite cool inside the supermarket. How did you notice I was sweating?"
So, that was what happened.
I knew it.
The dark cloud shrouding my heart dispersed just like that.
…
While having pasta with Ivy at night, I scrolled through social media and found a post from one person at the bottom of my friends list. It said: "If it's you, I don't mind waiting a few more years."
The photo showed a corner of the supermarket, with a tall man standing in front of the yogurt aisle. He was holding a red box and carefully reading the ingredient list. Judging from his position, it was probably a box of yogurt and the red packaging indicated my favorite flavor, strawberry.
Colin didn't tell me earlier he bought something for me, and since he hadn't returned, I couldn't be sure if he bought that yogurt for me.
In other words, it was normal for him to buy Jasmine some food or even something expensive because he had saved her before.
Plus, it was just yogurt. It was not worth fussing over.
But my heart still felt sour.
I was really petty sometimes.
To prevent myself from getting jealous, I took a peek at Jasmine's social media account and found that her latest post was the one I saw.
