Ryan and I clearly didn't have a quarrel or a cold war.
But since Ava came back,our communication has been getting less and less.We only see each other for a moment every morning and then part in a hurry.
I opened our chat window,and the last message was from four days ago.

He said that he was going to the airport to pick up Ava and that they could still be friends after the breakup.
I said,"Okay.Be careful on the way and come back early."
Before going to bed at night,I sent a message to Ryan asking if he would come back.
He said that the gathering would be very late,and he would stay out for the night.
I wasn't surprised by this reply.I had even anticipated this result in advance.
When I was sitting in the bed watching a movie,a WeChat message popped up.

It was a photo of their gathering.There were more than a dozen people,both men and women.
Ava was sitting in the middle of the booth.Ryan was on her left,and Jack was on her right.
There was a photo of Ryan and Ava talking,and Ava was holding Ryan's arm with her left hand.
Maybe it was too noisy in the private room,so they were very close to each other.

In my opinion,it looked very intimate.
After looking at it for a few seconds,I directly returned to the movie interface.
But I couldn't focus on what was being shown anymore.
I suddenly thought that Ryan's indifference these days might mean that he wants to break up but hasn't figured out how to say it.
When I saw him in my junior year of college,he and Ava were a couple,and they were very happy at that time.
Every time I saw them in the cafeteria or the library,their faces were filled with sweetness.
I was envious,but I never thought of intervening between them or having any interaction with Ryan.
Only when Ryan was playing basketball on the playground did I dare to stand outside the railing of the playground and secretly watch him.
There were many people playing basketball,so everyone wouldn't know who I was looking at.
In my senior year of college,our dormitory had a dinner party.On the way back to school,we came across Ryan,who was half lying drunk by the roadside.
The breakup between Ryan and Ava was known to everyone in our school.
Ava went abroad,and she went with a boy.
Later,I found out that the boy was Jack's older brother.
Maybe Jack knew that Ava and his brother were innocent.
So when I got together with Ryan,he always thought that I was the one who broke up Ryan and Ava and that I inserted myself between them.
Only I know that they weren't defeated by Jack's brother or by me.They were defeated by the distance.
In my eyes,it was because at that time,they didn't trust each other enough and didn't love each other deeply enough.
If they really loved each other,how could they be defeated by these worldly and objective reasons?
After accidentally meeting him when he was drunk,I deliberately paid attention to Ryan's whereabouts.
During that time,he drank a lot.
Sometimes I couldn't stand it and would help him by bringing him honey water.
That's how we got each other's contact information.
Later,when he was drunk,he was used to having the staff at the bar contact me.
If Jack was there,he would definitely glare at me with a fierce look.
