When I agreed to come to Song Yi's birthday party, which she hadn't seen in centuries and whom she disliked, I should have expected things to turn out this way.
I tied my hair up with the hair tie I'd taken from Wu Shixun's wrist, and tore my floor-length skirt down to my knees for easier movement. Then I rushed into the battle between Song Yi and Jiang Tian, pulling Song Yi, whose hair Jiang Tian was grabbing, behind me. Because of our height difference, Song Yi was firmly shielded behind me. She peeked out from behind me, made a face at Jiang Tian, and even provocatively challenged her to call her "sister-in-law." Bian Tian, seeing her provocative act but unable to hit her, clenched her fists in anger. Looking at me protecting her, she became even angrier, grabbed a wine tray full of red wine from the nearby table, and splashed it directly at me. Wu Shixun immediately stepped in front of me, the red wine soaking his flashy red velvet suit. Xi Fei also frantically pulled Jiang Tian back to prevent her from doing anything more impulsive. Song Yi, that idiot, tried to grab me in her panic, but instead grabbed the ribbon of my skirt. Just as my skirt was about to slip down, Wu Sehun took off his soaking wet suit and wrapped it around me to hold my skirt up. Song Yi slipped and pulled me down into her aunt's 2.1m cake, while I held onto Wu Sehun.

When I came out of the bathroom after showering, Song Yi had already changed into a new dress and was sitting on the sofa with a hairdryer. When she saw me come out, she got up and pressed me down on the sofa to blow-dry my hair.
"The second stupidest thing I've ever done in my life is coming to this birthday party with you."
"Hehe, I was wrong, I won't do it again next time."
Song Yi smiled ingratiatingly, trying her best to ignore my murderous gaze.
“Song Yi, it was your own choice to change the engagement to Byun Baekhyun. You chose this path yourself, and no matter what, you have to keep going. None of the Song, Jiang, or Xi families can afford to lose face like this.”
I took the hairdryer from her phone and started drying my hair. Song Yi nodded to indicate that she understood, and then changed the subject.
"You just said this was the second dumbest thing you've ever done, so what's the dumbest thing you've ever done?"
"Marry that idiot Wu Shixun."
"Pfft." Song Yi slumped onto the bed behind her, covering her mouth and laughing out loud.
“If your Wu Shixun is stupid, are there any smart people left in this world? Well, there’s nothing I can do about it. You chose him yourself, and you’re already married, so you can’t just get a divorce, can you?” Song Yi raised an eyebrow and looked at me with amusement.
"We're divorced."
"What?" Song Yi stood up in surprise, her eyes filled with disbelief as she looked at me.
"When did you get divorced? Didn't you fly to LA last month to celebrate his birthday? You stayed for a whole week, and no matter how much Miaomiao urged you to come back, you couldn't bear to leave. How could you just get divorced like that?"
"Could you zip up my zipper?"
Song Yi walked behind me and helped me zip up my jacket.
"It was the 17th of last month, my fifth day there."
"Which of you brought it up? And why?"
I looked at myself in the mirror, my eyelashes fluttered, and I put on the other earring.
“I suggested it. There’s no particular reason. Yiyi, no one will wait for another person without any hope. Jiang Jinchen won’t, I won’t, and Xi Fei won’t either. Let’s give it a try.”

When Song Yi and I changed our clothes and went downstairs, Wu Shixun had already changed his clothes and was talking with Jiang Jinchen, who had rushed over after hearing the news.
Seeing me holding onto the handrail to go down the stairs, he left Jiang Jinchen behind and strode towards me, took my hand, linked arms with mine, and slowed his pace to lead me down the stairs.
Song Yi followed behind us, looking at us with suspicion. She thought I might have been joking, but then she remembered my expression and thought it didn't seem like it. As she was thinking, she handed her handbag to Jiang Jinchen, who had just walked up to her.
Not only Song Yi, but I was also very confused, but I didn't show it. After all, our divorce hadn't been announced yet, and I was busy at work recently. I really couldn't find the time, and I hadn't figured out how to tell his parents.
