Chapter 11

Author: Durian Lover
I looked at Vera. She was beautiful, had a great figure, and came from money.

She was the type many people would fall for, but I still shook my head.

"I don't feel the same," I said.

To many people, love at first sight is the definition of romance.

Maybe it was because I never felt secure growing up, so I had always been cautious.

Even with Nina, I spent a year secretly liking her before I was sure she was truly the one I liked. Only then did I gather the courage to confess.

    The change of topic was so sudden that Nina couldn't react for a moment."What?" she asked.I looked her straight in the eye. "We've been together for seven years. Do you know I don't eat beans?"Nina was at a loss for words. Then, she said, "So what if I didn't know? It's such a small matter. Even if I didn't know before, I can pay more attention from now on."I laughed softly at myself for falling in love with someone like her."You always thought taking photos for someone else was no big deal. You thought the same about me not eating beans," I said. "But that's not how I see it."I looked at Vera standing not far away.I remembered our time at dinner. After Vera found out I didn't eat beans, she immediately reminded the server."If it's really such a small matter like you said, then why could someone I just met do it, while my own girlfriend couldn't?" I added.In our seven years together, Nina had never cared about this even once.Because it never mattered to her.Becaus

    "Ryan."I looked up and saw Nina step out of the shadows. Her clothes were wrinkled, and her face was pale.She stared straight at me and said, "I waited for you all afternoon."Vera was about to get into the car. But when she saw Nina, she immediately reached out to pull me behind her.I smiled and shook my head. "It's okay. Let me handle this."This was between Nina and me. I didn't want to drag anyone else into it.Besides, I didn't want to rely on someone else for something this small.The next moment, I froze. So it turned out that, in my heart, what happened between Nina and me no longer mattered that much.Nina's eyes were teary and red-rimmed, yet her voice was filled with resentment."What did I do wrong for you to treat me like this?" she asked.I looked at her. "Nina, do you really not know?"Or maybe she just didn't dare think about it. Because once she did, she would realize she was the one who caused all of this. She was afraid she would regret it.Nina's br

Only then did I gather the courage to confess."I don't know why you like me," I added.Hearing that, Vera wanted to explain, but I cut her off.Vera froze for a moment, then quickly lowered her head and blinked. She looked a little pitiful, but I didn't waver. When it comes to love, you can't afford to be soft-hearted.Vera thought for a moment before asking, "Do you think I moved too fast?"I nodded and replied, "I'm sorry. But I still hope if someone likes me, it's not because she's driven by hormones or swept up in the moment."I want it to be

    My eyes widened in shock.In my mind, Nina had always been aloof and proud. She once said that no one in this world was worth fighting for.If this had happened back then, I might have been touched or worried. But right now, all I felt was annoyance."Nina, are you crazy?" I yelled.Vera took the slap head-on and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.With a sneer, she lunged forward.Neither of them backed down, and the situation quickly spiraled out of control.After failing to stop them, I watched for a short while before turning around and leaving.At the same time, the two women realized what was happening and stopped.Nina panted. "Ryan!"I stopped, then turned around and walked toward her.The closer I got, the brighter Nina's eyes became. She even shot Vera a frosty glance.Vera remained expressionless, yet something about her looked strangely lonely.Nina pointed to the corner of her mouth, looking a little aggrieved.She said, "I'm bleeding."Nina was af

    The next day, I put on the new printed shirt I had bought. It was a bold orange-red.The saleswoman said I was fair, and the color looked bright and lively on me.I didn't know if she meant it, but I didn't care.Back then, Nina took one look at my closet full of colorful clothes and clicked her tongue."Such tacky taste," she commented.So I changed my entire wardrobe to black, white, and gray just to keep up with her sense of style.I once gave everything I had to pursue Nina, thinking she was the person who would make me happy.But now that I look back, I realized she only made me lose who I was.So this time, I no longer wanted to care about what others thought. I wouldn't doubt or put myself down because of their words anymore.Even if my taste wasn't refined and my style wasn't for everyone.Vera sent me a message."I'm almost there. Take your time. There's no need to rush. I'll wait for you downstairs."I picked up my phone and left my apartment.But right after I s

    The elevator doors opened.Someone was standing outside my door, radiating anger as though she had been greatly wronged.It was Nina.I had no idea how she found this place.Her expression was dark. "Who was the woman who brought you back just now?" she asked.I looked at her and replied, "That's none of your business."Nina laughed in disbelief. "It's none of my business?"She gritted her teeth and slowly approached me."You suddenly vanished and cut off all contact. And now you're messing around with another woman."When she spoke again, her tone turned icy and forceful. "Ryan, now you're telling me this has nothing to do with me? Did you forget you're my boyfriend?""What?" I laughed in anger too. "Did you forget that we've already broken up?"Nina looked confused.I laughed coldly.She hadn't taken what I said seriously.Nina knew she was in the wrong, but it took her a moment before finally coming up with an answer."But I never agreed," she said. "Besides, you're
