The sky in Malaysia was a stretch of azure blue, with layers upon layers of white clouds rolling like waves.
Cisco, sitting on the plane, looked up and saw the blue sky stretching as far as the eye could see, just like the sea without an end.
Looking down, she could spot the sea in Malaysia, which was like a dazzling pearl.
She couldn't help but touch the diamond ring on her hand.
In the next seat, Lily was excitedly pointing at the scenery outside, and her hand had unconsciously hooked around Cisco’s boyfriend, Allen's neck.
"Allen, the scenery outside is so beautiful!"
"Haha, I've also brought the latest bikini. I'll show it to you when we get to Malaysia..."
Lily gave a sultry smile, but her eyes glanced meaningfully at Cisco and then she provocatively smiled where Allen couldn't see.
"What a boring trick!"
Cisco was filled with anger and turned her face away, looking out of the window instead.
Compared with the enthusiastic atmosphere of the two beside her, the air around her was solemn and oppressive.
A few days ago, Cisco and Allen went to get their marriage license.
After queuing for two hours, it was finally their turn.
Then Allen's phone rang. "What's wrong?"
"Allen, my heart aches so much. I wonder if my latent illness has flared up..."
"Don't worry. I'm coming right away!"
Allen showed an anxious look that hadn't been seen for a long time.
Despite Cisco's pleading, he didn't hesitate to abandon her and left.
At that moment, Cisco felt as if her heart was being pierced by a knife.
She could only let the tears roll down and walked blankly to a bench by the street, waiting foolishly for Allen to come back.
It was nearly eight o'clock in the evening when Allen finally rushed back.
On the empty street, he saw Cisco sitting alone at the first glance, and guilt flooded his heart. He stepped forward and hugged her, kissing away the tears from the corners of her eyes, saying, "I'm sorry, baby."
To make up for this broken appointment, Allen booked plane tickets to Malaysia for a vacation that night.
"Baby, it's all my fault. Don't be angry. Let's go to Malaysia and play for half a month. I remember you still have a lot of annual leave..."
After Allen's various apologies, Cisco temporarily forgave him.
Actually, Cisco had known about Lily's existence for a long time.
Lily was Allen's childhood friend, and Allen had always told her not to mind Lily's existence, saying that he would never have feelings for her.
If he did, there would be no place for Cisco. Previously, Cisco didn't think there was anything wrong.
But when she found out that Allen had booked three plane tickets, one for Lily besides the two of them, she suddenly tightened her grip on her phone.
"Allen, I'm going to the washroom."
"Can you go by yourself?" Allen asked with a smile.
"Of course."
Lily pouted her full lips, seeming a bit dissatisfied.
Then she deliberately raised her voice and said,
"By the way, give me the tampon I left with you."
After thinking for a moment, she glanced casually at Cisco.
When she saw the other person turn her head sharply to look at her, she raised her chin and smiled smugly.
"Okay, I'll give it to you. You women are really troublesome!"
Allen sighed helplessly and reached into his chest to take out a small pack of tampons.
"Thank you..."
Lily grabbed it and, when Allen wasn't looking, leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
Then she walked towards the washroom with her long legs.
"Have you forgotten what you promised me last time?"
Cisco could no longer suppress her anger and glared at the receding figure.
"What are you making a fuss about now?"
Allen moved his body to get into a comfortable position.
His thick, slanting eyebrows furrowed, and he looked displeased.
"I remember, I remember.”
“I have to keep a sense of propriety..."
Looking at her boyfriend's indifferent expression,
Cisco's heart sank to the bottom.
Were they really just ordinary childhood friends? Before Cisco could say anything,
Allen added, "Why are you so narrow-minded? “
“The bikini was originally bought for you, but you said it was vulgar and low-class. Since I've bought it, I can't waste it. Lily likes it, so I gave it to her."
His voice grew louder, attracting the attention of the other passengers on the plane.
Cisco blushed with embarrassment.
She wanted to refute, thinking what did he mean by saying she thought it was vulgar and low-class.
Was it wrong that she was just a bit conservative and didn't like it?
She had always known that her conservatism didn't please Allen, but she firmly believed that she would change for him after marriage.
Allen shrugged indifferently.
"Look, I was right."
"Since you don't like it and it's already bought, you should wear it yourself!"
Cisco coldly threw out a sentence.
She took out an eye mask from her pocket and was about to pull it down.
After thinking for a moment, she added, "Since you brought it, you'd better use the tampon yourself!"
After saying that, she quickly pulled down the eye mask, leaned back, and fell silent.
"You!"
Allen was so choked that he couldn't say a word.
The strange stares of the surrounding passengers made his neck feel cold.
"Damn it!"
"Cisco, why are you so unreasonable..."
Cisco didn't bother to pay attention.
She closed her eyes as if falling asleep, but in fact, her heart was far from calm.
Soon, the laughter and flirting of the man and woman came to her ears again.
She really wanted to jump up and beat them up, but her good upbringing told her that she mustn't be so rude.
The plane soon entered the landing phase.
After it came to a stop, everyone got off the plane one after another.
Lily excitedly grabbed Allen's arm, ready to rush out. Allen patted her hand and gestured in Cisco's direction.
Lily said, "Allen, your girlfriend isn't still sulking, is she... I've always said that you have to be careful when you're in a relationship. Not everyone is as innocent as I am."
After saying that, she pretended to be shy and covered her mouth.
Then she looked at Cisco and said, "Cisco, I didn't expect you to be so narrow-minded. “
“But you really misunderstood. There's nothing between Allen and me. “
“We're just childhood friends. I'll get off the plane first.”
“Allen, give me the driver's phone number. I'll wait for you in the car."
After saying that, she turned around with a big smile and disappeared into the crowd.
At this time, there weren't many people left in the business class.
Looking at Cisco, who was still sitting there, Allen's joyful mood was instantly diluted, and only impatience remained.
The scolding words that had reached his lips were swallowed back.
Although the woman in front of him, who was dressed in a cheap $50 dress from a street stall, was a bit old-fashioned and conservative.
Compared with a sexy and hot woman like Lily, sometimes her gentle and soft nature could bring a different kind of feeling.
Indeed, she was wearing a cheap dress from a street stall,
But her skin was naturally fair, and her almond-shaped eyes always seemed to hold a pool of autumn water.
Just like now, although she was staring at him coldly,
Allen felt as if there were ants crawling in his heart.
Well, itchy.
