Valentine's Day, a good day for couples to date. But my boyfriend and I couldn't meet. Because he was at school doing experiments and rushing papers. I didn't want to waste time, so after closing the shop, I drove Uber to earn money. Arrived at pickup point, two guys and a girl got in. From the back seat came a girl's shy voice: "Senior, do you have a girlfriend?" The guy sitting next to me said: He doesn't have a girlfriend. Have gossip, I pricked up my ears to eavesdrop. At this time, a familiar voice came: "What's wrong?" Hearing this voice, I looked at the rearview mirror in surprise, Actually found my boyfriend, Liam, sitting in the back. While I was bitterly earning money, He was spending Valentine's Day with another woman. ... Chapter 1 Junior girl tried to cover up and said: "I heard you have a girlfriend, a few years older than you." I expected him to introduce me to his classmates. The guy in the passenger seat answered first: "That's his fellow villager, not his girlfriend, how could that kind of woman deserve our Campus Heartthrob?" I braked suddenly, red light. Passenger seat guy scolded: "Driver how do you drive, careful I report you." I really wanted to turn around let him see who I am. But I couldn't, because this car was rented from a kind big brother. If discovered I am not the driver himself, big brother's account will be banned. I can't let big brother down. Waiting for green light gap, I looked through rearview mirror. The girl behind was turning her face talking to Liam, curled hair tips trembling with laughter. Liam lowered head listening carefully to her, street lights outside window shone his fair handsome face bright and dim. Two people looked really eye-catching. I wrapped tight black puffer jacket, pulled down baseball cap, lest expose unwashed oily hair. Forget it, talk when go back. Car continued driving. "Senior, taste the cupcakes just bought." Primary school junior girl handed cake to Liam. Instantly a rich aroma spread in narrow space. I smelled this aroma suddenly felt hungry. Immediately stomach growled loud, sound so big, let passenger seat guy laughed tears out. I was awkward, picked up a piece of dry cracker aside padded a bit, drank two mouthfuls plain water then suppressed hunger feeling. This time junior girl took out milk tea handed to Liam again. I chewed dry hard cracker with water, nose full of rich milk aroma, heart not a taste. Destination arrived, they prepared to get off. Just when two people got off, junior girl嬌滴滴 (coquettishly) asked: "Senior, can you be my boyfriend for one night?" I dead grabbed steering wheel waiting for his answer. Bang a sound, car door closed. I couldn't hear what Liam said. Because anxious, I opened car door prepared to follow. Unexpectedly forgot unbuckle seatbelt, pulled back again. I fiercely unbuckled seatbelt, just walked off car phone rang. Is car rental big brother. "Sister, time up should return car." "Okay, wait a moment brother!" When I finished call again look up, where still have Liam shadow. I stomped feet angry, thinking of his intimate look with others, Felt myself like a joke. I paid his tuition, provided him eat provided him wear. I am his ATM, his nanny big sister, I lived like a hard-working camel. He even a status disdained give me. Chapter 2 On way back to rental apartment, I picked up phone constantly dialed Liam number, but all hung up. Not a while, a message came: Hello, I am not convenient to answer now please call later. I messaged ask where are you, he also didn't reply. Call him voice call he also directly hung up. Back to rental apartment, I stood before mirror. Looking at disheveled self inside, thinking of just now that junior girl pretty look. Thinking they tonight want call each other boyfriend girlfriend, I uncomfortable to die. I grabbed facial cleanser crazy wash face, until rub face red then stop. Why must meet this kind of thing when I am ugliest? Looking at embarrassed self in mirror, I thought of past things. Me and Liam both grew up in same small town, count as childhood sweethearts. We together since small, school also always same class. He not only look good also very can study, people ten miles eight villages all know him. SATs over, he got into college, I failed. I followed him come to this city, he school I work. Finally spent old effort opened a women's clothing store. Slowly, I earned some money rented apartment, he also moved over from dorm. We nest together watch TV series, eat In-N-Out. He graduated bachelor want go Grad School, family didn't agree. I asked him why want go Grad School? He said Grad School graduate find work earn money more, that time I no need so hard. I heart warm drilled out from quilt, top chicken nest head told him: "I support you read Grad School!" Later. He no longer eat In-N-Out, only go high-end restaurants. He speak always mixed one two English words, never speak hometown dialect again, even me speak he not allow. He became idol in campus. He thoroughly integrated into this city. ... Out of bathroom, I saw strawberries on counter. Looking at those red fruits, I washed washed grabbed one threw into mouth. This is my first time eat before him. Over one o'clock, he finally came back. I asked him where went? Why not return call. "I always doing experiment, didn't look phone." I just open mouth want expose him, water pipe rang, noisy people can't speak. Turned into kitchen, I opened cabinet under sink, nimbly twisted valve. Water pipe not ring. Back to original place, I prepared continue confront him, result saw strawberries in trash can. "What you doing! Why throw strawberries!" "Top turned white, keep for what?" I angry crazy, from trash can lifted strawberries out put under tap constantly wash. He stepped back a step, tone full dissatisfaction: "This how dirty ah, buy again not fine." He said lightly, he has no concept of money. Just this bit strawberry full $10, enough me eat a week meal. I suddenly lost idea confront him: "Let's break up." He surprised look me, full face disbelief: "For a bag strawberries you want break up, worth it ma?" I looked out window: "I said break up." His face sank, completely can't see just now tenderness in car. "I go back dorm sleep." Finished he kicked trash can, slammed door left. Chapter 3 Next day, I didn't go open shop. Arrived noon, I made myself super many delicious food. Before if just me alone at home, only deal with two bites. Liam if here I would serious cook, then face expect beg him praise. But he always say a "okay", I angry argue with him. To that time he always say: "Delicious I will eat two more bites, why must praise you?" I told him want his encouragement, he but golden mouth hard open, never praise me. Carried last dish on table, I just sat down picked up chopsticks. Key turning sound came from outside door. Is Liam, meal time he came back. I didn't care him, self care eat. He stood good half day see me not squeak, self pulled stool sat down. Table no his bowl chopsticks, he can only watch me eat. "I wrong okay, this give you." He from pocket took out a exquisite packaging box pushed to me. Box printed a brand I only seen on TV. He never gave me such expensive gift. Unconsciously, my heart wavered a bit. Originally want reach hand take, hand about touch box suddenly sober up. He see me hesitate, like made up sky big determination unwilling said: "I shouldn't throw strawberries." He actually apologizing for this matter, I sneered, who knew this expression provoked him. "You what expression? Because such a small matter mention break up, you changed! Not sensible as before." I "Whoosh" stood up, meet his surprised eyes ask: "You yesterday night exactly went do what?" He stunned a bit, immediately recover calm: "In lab doing experiment ah, want me say how many times then believe?" Didn't expect he still not admit. I originally still want pursue ask, but words all said out suddenly feel my behavior so ridiculous. Even if he finally admitted went out date with others again can how? Again flow tears ask once you still love me ma? Answer already very obvious. Just like scratch card, already scratched out "Thanks", must scratch finish ma? I no longer ask, re-sat down eat. He see me change past break pot ask to bottom style, some surprised, immediately tone soft down. "Okay don't throw temper, this week bowls all belong me, okay ba." I still silent, he sat closer bit, unfamiliar put hand on my hand back. I before taught him, I angry time just pull my hand, but he rarely do. He long time didn't pull my hand... Cheap thought just冒 (pop) from heart, Liam one sentence just give me extinguished. "School want pay tuition, you transfer me $5,000."
