Celia was convinced I’d got some hidden agenda, so she sent those photos. just to bait me into showing my hand. My
seemingly sincere blessing, however, left
her utterly confused.
The “typing…” notification kept
popping up, but her message never arrived. After a long time, she finally
managed to send me a message.
“Do you mean it? Are you really
trying to set me up with Karry?”
This time, my reply was swift and
simple.
“Yes.”
Karry was officially hers.

I expected Karry to be happy when he returned home. Instead, he entered with his usual coldness, his tone laced with
barely suppressed anger.
“What do you mean?”
I was puzzled by his reaction.“Are you talking about the concert tickets? I
couldn’t go, so I gave one to Celia.”
Then, I added brightly, “Did you have
fun? How was the concert? If you guys
want to do it again, I have two tickets for
tomorrow.”
Unable to decipher my motives,
Karry stared at me intently. I met his gaze
with unwavering sincerity, as if I were doing all this out of sincerity and
goodwill.

After a long silence, he gave in, heading straight to his room.
My first matchmaking attempt was a success. I pressed on, creating more opportunities for them. For instance, I invited Karry to a high–end restaurant. As soon as we sat down, Celia appeared, her face alight with surprise.“Karry, what
a small world!”
Before I could speak, the waiter
chimed in.“Today is our anniversary. You‘ re the fifty–second couple to dine here. Free matching bling for you two lovebirds
plus a cute couples photoshoot on the
house!”
The waiter’s words barely left his lips
when I stood abruptly. “I suddenly don’t

feel well. I’ll go home.”
Karry stood to follow me, but I
stopped him.”It would be a shame to
waste this opportunity. Karry, why don’t
you and Celia enjoy it?”
Without waiting for a response, I left
the restaurant, leaving Karry and Celia
there. Celia was so delighted that she
dragged him to get their rings.
The next day, one of my friends
hosted a party. I insisted Karry come with
- me. When we arrived, we met Celia again. At the end of the night, I subtly nudged
Celia towards him.
“It’s late, and she shouldn’t go home
alone. Why don’t you drive her home? I’ll
get a cab. Oh, and don’t drive too fast. She‘

s had a bit too much to drink. Look after
her.”
I shoved my car keys into his hand
and hailed a cab.
After several such incidents, Karry
finally noticed the pattern. He kept encountering Celia in various places, at various times. Each time, I vanished and
left them together.
It was as if I were…
towards Celia!
I were… pushing him
