Classmates gathering at home.

My live-in girlfriend of seven years fell in the shower and her ex-boyfriend carried her out.

She was wrapped in a towel, but it was as if she wasn't, and everyone was looking at me.

I opened the bedroom door and advised her kindly, "It's crowded outside, do it inside."

————

The class reunion, gathered at my house for a good time.

There was not enough wine at the table, so I went downstairs to buy some.

When I came back, I saw Hulk Scott carrying my girlfriend out of the bathroom. She was only wrapped in a towel and dripping wet.

Everyone was looking at me, mocking and sympathizing and gloating.

Sarah White put her arms around Hulk's neck and looked at me, without any guilt or panic, but rather with a provocative look.

Hulk smiled at me and said, "Sarah fell down in the shower. It's not convenient for others to help her."

I glanced at the women in the room and couldn't understand why he was more convenient than women in this situation.

"George Williams, don't let your imagination run wild. They are not as strong as Hulk."

Sarah glared at me.

Hulk raised his eyebrows and said, "And I used to hold Sarah often, I know how to hold her comfortably."

Did he make sure he said "hold"?

I was complaining in my heart, but surprisingly I didn't feel angry. I even wanted to congratulate them on getting back together.

So I put down my beer and opened the bedroom door, "It's crowded outside, you guys do it inside, there's a condom in the first drawer on the left side of the bed, it's not a safe day for Sarah."

Everyone thought I was being angry and looked at me with contempt.

Sarah frowned and said, "George, are you done yet? I have said it many times, Hulk and I are just ordinary friends now, we have broken up for many years!"

She added, "Now your girlfriend fell down, and it was Hulk who helped you, so shouldn't you thank him?"

Hulk smiled smugly, "You're welcome. I'm happy to help."

My girlfriend fell down in the shower, and her ex-boyfriend went to pick her up. Should I thank him?

What kind of bullshit logic was this?

And my old classmates also seemed to think I should be grateful.

I really want to know what they would think if their boyfriends or girlfriends carried other women out of the bathroom or were carried out by them.

In the past, I would have yelled at everyone.

Then, they parted on bad terms.

Sarah will then say I'm disappointed in me because my behavior spoils the fun, because I don't trust her.

Then, she would trash the house and proceed to go cold turkey with me.

She would even deliberately let me know every day that she was going out to play with Hulk again.

Until I couldn't stand it anymore, I begged her for forgiveness like a dog, even on my knees, and only when she was in a good mood would she forgive me.

Maybe our relationship was not equal from the beginning.

In college, she was a privileged girl who attracted attention wherever she went, while I was just a nerd.

Every day, people send her flowers, and many of them change their confessions to her.

Even a big boss outside the school brought a truck full of roses to express his love, but she said in public that roses without love are cold and she doesn't need them.

But I was just a nerd, and my classmates and roommates excluded me and even bullied me.

I was a bit depressed during that time and often went to sit on the rooftop. Many times I wanted to jump down.

It was she who sat beside me and said to me, "High places are for looking at the most beautiful scenery, not for killing yourself, George, don't jump off the building, I'll enjoy the scenery with you."

At that moment, the breeze blew her hair and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on her face. She was my salvation.

Then we became a couple, and everyone envied me and was jealous of me, saying explicitly and implicitly that I wasn't good enough for her, and there was never a shortage of suitors for her, so I was anxious.

Every second of my life, I was afraid that she would be taken away by someone else.

So I tried my best to be nice to her and make myself feel important in front of her.

I would share everything with her, but she just responded with indifference, only ellipses, and didn't even bother to say a word back to me.

But I never gave up and still love everything about her.

I even thought that she was my everything.

I was used to being humble, she was used to scorn.

"George, are you mute?"

Seeing that I didn't say anything for a long time, Sarah suddenly scolded me.

Until now, she felt that she was right.

I glanced at her indifferently, walked over to the sofa and sat down, "If you think my presence at home will disturb you, I can leave first."

"Are you going to spoil the fun again?"

She asked with a frown, still not taking it seriously.

"Then I won't go."

I stayed and opened my tablet to look at the case I was working on.

Sarah and Hulk really went into Sarah and I's bedroom.

The moment the door closed and all eyes were on me again.

They were despising me, mocking me, they were gloating.

"Why don't I go buy a green hat and put it on to satisfy your bad taste?"

I looked at them and smiled.

Then, Hulk came out with a gloomy face.

But when he saw me, he suddenly smiled again, "Sarah's so shy, I was gonna help her change."

"A man should be persistent and you should work hard."

I nodded at him.

In fact, I can see that Hulk really wanted to take Sarah away from me.

That's why he's always trying to provoke me all the time, and then when I get mad, he'll play pity on Sarah and say that I'm starting to bully him.

And every time, Sarah would point at my nose and scold me.

But I suddenly discovered that the cases in the tablet were much more interesting than these vulgar relationships between men and women.

Hulk didn't get any advantage, and was even more unhappy. He said sarcastically, "I didn't expect that after so many years, Sarah's figure is still so good, just like when she was in college."

"If you're so nostalgic, you can go in and relive it."

I smiled at him.

He stood there, not moving, and unable to speak.

If Sarah really agreed, why would he come out with a gloomy face?

Obviously, he was kicked out.

Not long after, Sarah came out wearing a little white dress. She didn't even have any makeup on, but she was still beautiful.

"You are so busy, why don't you go to the study?"

Sarah got angry again when she saw me staring at the tablet.

"It's up to you."

I stood up and walked towards the study.

"George Williams, are you done?"

Sarah erupted and roared at me.

"Didn't you ask me to go to the study?"

I was standing at the door of the study, looking at her with a very stable emotion. I thought that based on her understanding of me, she should be able to tell that I was really not angry at that moment.

And I don't know if I'm wrong, but I suddenly notice a flash of panic flicker past Sarah's eyes.

"Then I'll let you stay and drink with us now!"

Sarah pointed to the chair beside the table and said.

Then she sat down.

Her best friend was on her right, and she asked me to sit on her left.

Hulk immediately said, "He sits here, then where should I sit?"

Sarah was stunned. She looked at me and then at Hulk. She was actually hesitating.

If it were in the past, she would not hesitate and would let Hulk sit next to her.

If someone doesn’t know, he would think they are a couple.

But now, they hesitated.

"Hulk is a guest, he can sit wherever he wants."

I said to him with a smile, and then found a random seat to sit down.

Then they started drinking and playing games, passing cards with their lips. Hulk deliberately dropped the cards and kissed Sarah on the lips.

Hulk smiled triumphantly at me, and Sarah looked at me with a pale face.

This was being cheated on in public!

Who could tolerate this?

But why don’t I feel anything?

oh.

It turns out that I didn’t love Sarah anymore.

But it didn't work if I didn't react, and it was taken as anger.

Next to me was Sarah’s best friend, Tracy Louis, was also a big beauty and more enchanting.

At this time, she said that I was stingy and was blaming me.

She and Hulk seemed to have a bit of a story, and ever since Hulk came back, she was the one who was matching Hulk and Sarah.

"George, you were stingy before, and you're still stingy now. How come you haven't grown at all?"

"Sarah and Hulk are friends. Kissing won't make her pregnant, so it's nothing."

"If it were me, I wouldn't care about this kind of thing anyway."

Tracy started teaching me.

It was like this in the past. Whenever Sarah and I had an argument, her girlfriends would take turns to gaslight me.

"Tracy, are we friends then?"

I asked.

She was stunned for a moment, then said, "Of course it counts, we have known each other for many years, we are good friends!"

"Oh."

I suddenly leaned over, pressed the back of her head towards me with my left hand, and then kissed her.

Just now, Sarah and Hulk separated at the first sign of separation, and I kissed Tracy for a long time and even bit her lips.

She suddenly pushed me away, with her face flushed.

Everyone was silent at this moment, because no one thought that an honest person like me would do this.

"George Williams, are you crazy?"

Tracy said in disbelief.

I smiled at her and said, "We are friends, good friends who have known each other for many years. Kissing won't make you pregnant. Didn't you say you don't care?"

"I..."

She couldn't say anything.

Boom!

I felt a little headache, turned around, and saw Sarah holding a bottle of wine.

It turned out that she hit me. Fortunately, she didn't use much strength, otherwise my head would be broken.

"What's wrong?"

I looked at her and asked in confusion.

Sarah pointed at me, then at Tracy, and gritted her teeth and said, "What are you doing?"

"A kiss between friends is nothing, right?"

I asked back.

"George, you are too naive!"

"You kissed Tracy just to get angry with me!"

Sarah scolded.

I looked at her speechlessly and said, "But didn't you and Hulk just kiss? Tracy also said that kissing between friends won't get her pregnant."

"George, this is your fault. Hulk and Sarah didn't do it on purpose. You did it on purpose."

"That's right, you're too stingy. Are you still a man? You're not worthy of Sarah at all."

Her girlfriends gave me another round of accusations.

"I don't understand. Sara and Hulk would not be blamed for kissing each other, but I can't. Am I not a human being?"

I looked at them and said, "Everyone, don't be so hypocritical. It's boring."

Everyone was speechless. They were gaslighting on me countless times against their conscience, but when I fought back clearly and logically, they had nothing to explain.

Sarah stared at me for a long time, her eyes turned red and filled with tears as she said, "George, you disappoint me so much!"

After saying that, she pulled Hulk and walked out. When she reached the door and saw that I didn't chase her, she looked at me in disbelief.

"I, I'm not coming back tonight. I'm going to stay at Hulk's house!"

She said to me.
