Ephemeral

Unable to avoid the slap coming from the beautiful woman, Polly Han was thrown off balance and crashed against the window. Feeling so sad and losing hope, she was at such a loss at this moment.

"Fanny!" a man suddenly yelled out, grabbing the woman's hand.

A faint glimmer of hope suddenly ignited within Polly's heart.

However, the man didn't so much as take a look at her. Right now, all his attention was focused on the woman right next to him. Then, he went on and said in a gentle and pampering tone, "Please take care not to hurt your hand. I'm going to end up feeling so distressed if anything bad happened to you."

And before she could even feel the pain from the wound she got, Polly received another slap on her face, one that was even more painful than the first. This made her feel so lightheaded, making it seem as though there were tens of thousands of bees floating and buzzing above her head.

The man walked toward her, pointing at her forehead, and said in a firm and rather impatient tone, "Polly Han, I thought we already discussed this. We have come to terms with us going our separate ways. Given the way you've treated Fanny like this, you can't go blaming me for being rude to you! I'm warning you. Don't you ever bother me again! Just the sight of you is making me sick!"

Clenching her fists so hard, to the point that it was digging into her skin, Polly couldn't hold it in any longer and was on the verge of breaking down. With tears welling up in her eyes, she watched as the two people in front of her embraced each other as they walked away.

"Why did you stop me?" The woman's coquettish voice was loud and clear.

"Fanny, a woman like her is not worth giving your slap to," the man replied, softly pulling the woman closer in his arms. Then, he went on and continued, "Honey, you don't have to get so worked up because of her. You're the one I love now."

"But what about when compared with her?"

"She's already a part of my past. In contrast, you are the one I love the most, now or in the future. "

A cold breeze blew against her face. Feeling like her heart had been frozen, Polly managed to pull herself together little by little.

'Be it in the past, now, or in the future, the one I love most will always be you!'

How ironic the words were!

Her boyfriend, Kevin Yan, the man who swore he loved her and would never change no matter what, became Fanny Li's boyfriend in less than half a year. These words weren't meant for her anymore but for someone else.

Truth be told, she had heard people gossiping about it in the university, but she didn't believe it until today.

Looking back on that moment when Fanny challenged her, Polly Han finally knew that it was true.
