Shirley Shawn said she owed me a wedding. On the day of the wedding, in a wedding dress, she went to find her "younger brother" who was trying to kill himself.
The host and the guests were dumbfounded.
I suppressed the pain and took the microphone gracefully.
"Welcome to the divorce ceremony between me and Shirley Shawn. Just enjoy yourselves!"
Later, she stood in front of my car wearing a wedding dress and cried, saying, "Please give me a chance. Let's start over."
I held my woman's hand and politely said, "No need. Your boy might be angry again."

The symphony played as the door of the wedding hall was pushed open.
Shirley walked towards me step by step, wearing a pure white wedding dress.
My eye sockets felt a little warm, as this journey to love had been extremely difficult. She walked up to me, and only then did I truly feel a sense of victory.
But the rose in her hands trembled slightly, and beneath the swaying hem of her dress as she ascended the steps were a pair of sneakers!
I wondered, "Does she have any plans? Or is she planning to go somewhere in a wedding dress?"
The closer she got, the clearer I saw the anxiety and worry on her face.
The only thing that could make her worry at that time was her "younger brother"!
My face turned pale, and I forced a smile while looking at her with pleading eyes.

"I'm sorry, Simon! Derek is in danger. I have to go check on him!"
Derek Shawn was her younger brother, who was adopted, and grew up with her since childhood.
Ever since I got together with Shirley, her younger brother developed severe depression. In order to prevent an episode, we even initially decided not to have a wedding.
After one year of marriage, she finally agreed to hold a wedding ceremony.
In front of everyone's eyes, she once again abandoned me.
That was terrible.
I seemed to never be able to win against Derek.
Upon finishing speaking, she dropped the bouquet in her hand, lifted her long dress, and ran out along the red carpet like a fluttering butterfly in front of everyone's eyes.
The air froze instantly.
The host stared at her, feeling somewhat at a loss.
After a moment of silence, the guests below erupted into a more fervent discussion.
Shirley's parents anxiously stood up to comfort their relatives and apologetically looked at me on the stage.
I had no family, so there was no need to worry.
I suddenly felt tired of suppressing the pain that surged up.
