The next time we met was at the annual awards ceremony of Hunan Satellite TV.
Xu Mei was once again nominated for "Best Actress".
My ex was nominated for "Best Newcomer" for a TV series that aired two months ago.
Both Xu Mei and her predecessor won awards.
At the celebration party after the awards ceremony, Xu Mei subconsciously avoided her ex. The fleeting glimpse she had of him at the ceremony had suggested a melancholic aura to him, and she worried he still hadn't gotten over the breakup. But after most of the party, her ex hadn't even come near her, a fact Xu Mei found amusing.
The world of young people changes so quickly, but it is her older sister who cannot see things clearly!
The young ex-boyfriend didn't come to Xu Mei's side, so her ex-fiancé Cao Bo took the opportunity to talk to Xu Mei.
Cao Bo is now a successful person.
In addition to being a major shareholder of Liang Dan's new company, Cao Bo has also invested in many other projects and made a lot of money in recent years.
Cao Bo came over, and Xu Mei smiled while holding her wine glass: "Do you want me to be on the headlines again tomorrow?"
Cao Bo complimented him, "You won the Best Actress award. Whether you win or not, I've already booked it as the headline for tomorrow's news."
Xu Mei and Cao Bo had many unhappy memories when they were together, but after they broke up, when others wanted to slander Xu Mei, Cao Bo acted like a real man. This is why Xu Mei was still willing to talk to Cao Bo.
But that’s all.
Whether Cao Bo is a successful person now or not has little to do with Xu Mei. She can't stand an old man like Cao Bo!
Xu Mei and Cao Bo were exchanging pleasantries. Cao Bo even wanted to invite Xu Mei to star in a project he had just invested in: "If you're interested, I'll send you the script."
Before Xu Mei could say anything, someone squeezed over from the side.
"Sister, does the gift you mentioned before still count?"
It was Xu Mei’s ex who had been hiding from her for half the night.
As both are exes, the young man has many advantages over the old man. Xu Mei immediately ended the hypocritical courtesy with Cao Bo.
"Of course it counts!"
Xu Mei followed the young man, but the young man didn't mention the gift and only asked Xu Mei how she had been doing in the past few months.
"I'm filming."
Xu Mei asked him in return, "How about you? Are you doing well?"
Although there was still a hint of melancholy between the young man's brows, his improved acting skills made his forced smile less flawless: "I'm doing well too. As long as my sister is doing well, I'm very happy."
That night, the young man got himself drunk.
Xu Mei didn't want to be involved anymore. After looking around and not finding the young man's agent, she became a little hesitant.
Because of drinking, the young man's fair and tender face was stained red, and several malicious eyes fell on the young man at the celebration party.
If left alone, this little guy would probably be in danger.
Xu Mei was not the kind of person who would tear off someone else's umbrella after getting caught in the rain. After all, they were better off together, so she stepped forward and took the person away.
What happened later...I can only blame it on the ambiguous atmosphere!
The next day, when Xu Mei woke up, the young man had already put on his clothes and was sitting properly by the bed, looking at Xu Mei with an innocent look.
"Sister, I'm sorry..."
Xu Mei yawned. "What's there to be sorry about? It's something we both agreed to."
The young man asked cautiously, "So, are we reconciled?"
This question stumped Xu Mei.
Did Xu Mei really have no time to look for someone during those few months of no contact?
It doesn’t seem so.
Anyway, the other handsome guys I met were either shorter than the one sitting next to the bed, thinner, or not considerate enough.
Oh, it’s so annoying.
After breaking up, he wants to go back to his ex.
Xu Mei said vaguely: "Don't just look at me, look more at your peers around you. It's so nice to fall in love with people of the same age. They will be full of you in their hearts and eyes."
The young man was very good-tempered, "Then can we be together until I find someone of the same age?"
Xu Mei didn't say anything, so the young man took it as her consent and went to the kitchen humming a song to make breakfast for Xu Mei.
At first, no one knew that the two had resumed contact, but after a long time, they were photographed by paparazzi.
Now, not to mention the media, even Zhang Yangning smelled something unusual: Xu Mei's rumored boyfriends changed frequently, but Xu Mei never looked back!
Zhang Yangning asked Xu Mei what was going on, but Xu Mei herself couldn't explain it clearly.
Before, I could use the excuse that I couldn’t separate them, but what excuse do I have now?
The young man was with Xu Mei at the age of 21, broke up at the age of 22, and got back together at the age of 23.
When he was 24 years old, the young man emptied out all his savings to buy a house for Xu Mei.
Xu Mei could also buy such a house herself, but when the young man carefully handed her the purchase contract, Xu Mei couldn't bear to refuse.
"Don't you know my past?"
This was the first time Xu Mei discussed this issue with the young man.
The young man said seriously: "I know!"
He knew that Xu Mei had a first love in college, that Xu Mei was engaged to Cao Bo, and even knew which of Xu Mei's rumored boyfriends in the circle were real and which were fake.
He knows everything about Xu Mei.
But so what?
Xu Mei was so much older than him, he only blamed himself for being born too late and not being with Xu Mei a few years earlier.
Xu Mei couldn't understand what the young people wanted.
The other party didn't want the resources she gave them.
When it comes to spending money, although the other party is not as rich as her, he is more willing to spend than her.
After thinking about it, the other party probably wants a status?
On the young man's 25th birthday, Xu Mei arranged a restaurant and asked him earnestly, "Are you ready?"
