Chapter 1 of After setting her free, she regretted it

On the day of the wedding banquet, my girlfriend refused to answer my phone call.

But on the streets of a foreign country thousands of miles away, kissing with travel enthusiasts and posting pictures on social media.

From this moment on, I knew I should give up on her.

But when I suggested breaking up and leaving, she regretted it.

I'm back, come to the airport to pick me up

When I received a text message from my girlfriend, I had just finished tidying up the messy wedding banquet.

Yesterday was my girlfriend and I's wedding, which took a full three months to prepare.

Two months ago, she went on a solo trip to a foreign country and fought a cold war with me unilaterally.

I didn't get in touch until three days ago and promised to come back to hold the wedding.

At the beginning of the wedding, I faced a crowd of relatives and friends, and from morning until late at night, I called her countless times but couldn't get through.

Until night, she updated a social circle.

In the photo of Jiugongge, his girlfriend was kissed on the cheek by a young man from a foreign country on the street.

And with the accompanying text: Respect for freedom.

After tidying up my home, I still went to the airport.

My girlfriend walked up to me with a suitcase and gave me a big hug, enthusiastic as if nothing had happened.

"Did you miss me? I've been exhausted for the past two months!"

As usual, I would definitely smile and hug her back, walking down the steps.

But now, I only feel resistance in my heart.

I gently pushed her away and asked in a hoarse voice.

"Do you still remember what day yesterday was?"

"I remember." My girlfriend took off her sunglasses and nodded nonchalantly.

It is only natural to say so.

"Isn't it just a wedding banquet? Anyway, you have money, wouldn't it be better to host it again in the future?"

"You must learn a lesson from being so angry with me before, right?"

Before what she said, it was two months ago when we accompanied her mother to the hospital for a check-up.

Her mother accidentally saw a photo in her girlfriend's photo album of her intimately hugging or even kissing a man, and warned her not to get so close to other men since she had a boyfriend.

My girlfriend's mother is not in good health, and she dares not argue. When she comes home, she blames me for not helping her speak.

Even packing up early the next morning and traveling to a foreign country.

I have sent countless messages to her seeking peace, all of which have sunk into the sea.

Until now, I have watched her as if nothing had happened, even proud of herself because she was so angry with me, and I feel like she has been drenched in a bucket of cold water.

The chill pierced through the bones.

That's right, three days before the wedding banquet, she answered the phone and promised to come back, how could she not remember?

"Alright, I finally came back. Don't give me a hard time."

I probably didn't look well, so my girlfriend took the initiative to reach out and coax me.

I dodged again.

My girlfriend was unhappy and said, "I finally adjusted my mood and came back to accompany you. Is that how you treat me?"

I was about to say something when my phone rang in my pocket.

After connecting, it was Mom's anxious voice that said Dad had fainted and was in critical condition.

"I'll go back right away!"

I suddenly became anxious and didn't have time to pay attention to my girlfriend. I turned around and got in the car and drove to the hotel.

Take dad to the hospital and he is pushed into the emergency room by the doctor.

Mom sat on a chair in the hallway wiping away her tears.

"Your girlfriend is too much."

"Your dad has been looking forward to it all his life, just wanting to see you get married and start a family."

"She's good. She disappeared on the wedding day and made your father vomit blood in anger..."

Mom said, come and take my hand.

"Listen to the damn thing, separate from her!"

I remained silent for a moment and responded with a "good".

In order to maintain my relationship with my girlfriend, I took a five year nap.

I'm really tired.

So I chose to give up.
