Tina's friends joined in the teasing, saying, "Tina, why don't you just break up with George Smith? He is no match for Jacob at all. Jacob comes from abroad. He is good-looking and excellently educated. If I were you, I would have thrown myself into his arms long ago."
"Don't talk nonsense. If George, a perennial lickspittle, hears your words, he will get angry with you. Watch out then."
"It is funny. He's on a business trip. Even if he's here, I'm not afraid of him hearing my words. Besides being a little more handsome, he's useless."
"He's so foolish. He doesn't even know how to be romantic. He dedicates himself to work and leaves no time to accompany Tina."
Tina's friends were all teasing me, trying to flatter Jacob.
But Tina didn't care about her friends' mockery of me. In her heart and mind, Jacob in front of her mattered the most.
Just now, I heard their conversation, thinking, "It turns out that they have been secretly in contact for a long time."
"No wonder whenever it is late at night, Tina next to me in bed is nowhere to be seen. I will get up to look for her."
"She will lock herself in the bathroom, saying that she has to attend to some work."
