Almost unrecognised her ex boyfriend

****

It seems that she was really anxious, and Yu Dong figured she needed the money anyway. So she got ready and headed out again.

Yu Dong didn’t need to check her account balance, she knew exactly how much money was in it because 10 years ago, she needed to survive in a new city by herself with only 2,000 yuan.

But even for future Yu Dong, 2,000 yuan was nowhere near enough for her to buy clothes, not to mention younger Yu Dong, who had different tastes.

Yu Dong took a taxi and soon arrived at the address. She went and bought some watermelon juice nearby and after downing 2 mouthfuls, entered Xiaoyue’s studio.

The place wasn’t very big, but in a place like Shanghai, you would be considered lucky to even afford a 50-inch recording booth.

The decorations of the studio was very stylish, and wouldn’t be outdated even after a few years. It must have been decorated by a former ex-boyfriend who studied in a design school.

“Oh, thank my aunt and grandmother, you’re here.” Xiang Xiaoyue who was dressed up like a true professional, was looking at Yu Dong like she was her personal saviour.

“Wait!” After taking another sip of her watermelon juice, Yu Dong took out a taxi receipt and said, “50 yuan for the fare first!”

“You think I’d scam 50 yuan off you?” Xian Xiaoyue sighed and instead urged her: “Come and read the script first.”

When Yu Dong walked into the conference room, she saw 2 people already sitting. One was a young girl who was quite cute. She smiled sweetly when she saw Yu Dong. The other was a handsome sunny man, who for some reason, felt quite familiar.

“Okay, there are 2 women roles and 1 man, we’re finally ready.” Xiang Xioayue looked at Yu Dong and the man. “This drama has the most dialogue between the two of you. You should discuss the script together first.”

Yu Dong nodded, found a chair to sit down on, and started reading the script.

After a while, Yu Dong felt that someone was looking at her.

Raising her head, Yu Dong met the handsome man’s eyes across from her, who then looked down immediately.

Did he fall in love with me?

Yu Dong thought about it, fixed her hair, straightened her posture and continued to read through the script.

After reading 2 pages, she could see the man looking at her again from her peripheral vision. Yu Dong looked up again, and the other party looked down again.

After a few more times, Yu Dong finally had enough, but thinking that the other person might just be shy, asked him with a gentle voice: “Did you want anything?”

The handsome fellow saw Yu Dong ask him a question and opened his mouth to speak, but hesitated.

“Why is such a man like yourself hesitating?” Though if you confess, I’ll be gently refusing you.

The handsome man hesitated for a moment then asked, “Dong Dong, how have you been in these past 2 days?”

Dong Dong?

When I was young, my family was quite poor. In order to save money, my mom would always buy fish and chop it up to stretch into several meals. Later when I was born, there was a time when my dad who was drunk came home and repeatedly pointed at the frozen fish, then at me. From then on my name was set. Yu Dong, with the nickname Dong Dong.

(T/N: Yu Dong can be translated to “winter” or “frozen” and Dong Dong can be translated to frozen fish. I’ll keep her nickname as Dong Dong because she’s already so hilarious without me calling her a frozen fish)

But only my family and a few close friends in university knew about this nickname.

Who is this man?

“I didn’t dare say more to you when I saw you started crying that day, but seeing you now, you seem to be alright.” The man smiled at me.

The cute girl who was reading the script on the side seemed to smell potential gossip and suddenly stopped flipping through her script.

Yu Dong’s thoughts gradually came together: a man who looks handsome, who looks like he just graduated university, who knew her nickname and was someone she cried in front of the other day–

“The scum!” Yu Dong finally recognized who this person was and slammed her hands down the table, holy shit, was this not my first love who I haven’t seen for 10 years!

Ouch. I haven’t seen you for so long, I almost didn’t recognize you.

“Dong Dong, I know you’re sad, but how can you curse people!” Fang Hua told Yu Dong while uncomfortably glancing at the cute sister.

After the thorough breakup 10 years ago, Yu Dong never thought that she would ever see Fang Hua again. As soon as she saw him again, an unknown fire lit inside her and blazed. Yu Dong stood up and began to march towards Fang Hua, step by step.

“You, what are you doing?” Fang Hua was startled by Yu Dong’s momentum.

Yu Dong laughed and suddenly launched an attack. She raised her hand and slapped him soundly: “I’ve wanted to thrash you for a long time.”

Yu Dong’s only regret in this bad relationship was that she only cried when they were in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau. She didn’t even think to give the man a slap, but today she was finally successful.

“What are you doing!” Fang Hua was unexpectedly slapped.

The cute girl was shocked at this sudden development.

“Hmph!” After giving him a beating, Yu Dong went back to her seat, grabbed her watermelon juice and gulped it down. The she called out, “Xiaoyue, come here!”

“What’s the matter, what’s the matter?” as she was busy, Xiang Xiaoyue ran into the room disheveled. Noticing that the atmosphere seemed wrong in the room, she wondered, “What happened?”

Fang Hua kept silent with an angry face.

The cute sister tried to silently disappear into the background.

“Do you still consider yourself my friend Xiang Xiaoyue?” Yu Dong asked her coldly.

“Of course!”

“Do you believe that if you say you need my help, I’d come without question?”

“Yes, I believe!”

“Then how can you do this to me!” Yu Dong asked.

“I…do what to you?” Xiang Xiaoyue was really confused.

“You want me to work with the scum who just abandoned me? Are you deliberately hurting me?”

At Yu Dong’s words, Xiang Xiaoyue became totally confused. She looked at Fang Hua who had an ugly expression and asked, “You guys broke up?”

“Yu Dong, let’s talk about this outside.” Fang Hua didn’t want to discuss such matters in front of outsiders.
