Awakening from the Dream, My Silent Unrequited Love

On Jiang Shiyan's birthday, his first love returned from abroad.

They held a huge celebration behind my back. That's when I found out they were about to get engaged.

I was his official girlfriend, yet they dragged me out and laughed at me.

His friends teased him, “You only confessed to her because you lost a bet. Who knew you'd actually stay together this long?”

“Now that you're engaged, isn't she going to throw a fit, threaten to kill herself, or run away from home to force you to marry her?”

He calmly blew out a ring of smoke. “Chen Wanyue is as obedient as a dog. She won't force me to marry her, and she won't leave me.”

It suddenly dawned on me: I was just the stand-in in their little game.
