Chapter One: A Handsome Man and a Beautiful Woman

"You are not dead?" the other party asked in confusion

This is Liu Jinghua, the manager of Tang Fei, known in the industry as "Sister Hua." She is a prominent and highly regarded agent in the entertainment circle, having represented numerous star talents. Su Yun, who is holding a concert tonight, is one of them. Tang Fei's breakup with him is undoubtedly related to this person

Xu Jie scoffed, "Stop feeding me, I do not eat feces"

"Can you speak?" Xu Jie frowned; from the voice, it was a woman, and a sense of sorrow akin to a tiger fallen to the plains rose within him.

After making up his mind, Xu Jie straightened his posture and began to type rapidly on the keyboard

What are you doing? he shouted.

Pah, pah

... ...

"Compatibility, of course. However, as the old saying goes: dragons seek dragons, shrimp seek shrimp, turtles seek turtles; ordinary men are only suited to marry ordinary women, while Feifei is destined to be extraordinary"

"Where are you going? I will see you off," Tang Fei said softly, her two eyes hidden behind sunglasses concealing a deep sense of guilt

Sometimes he envies those villains in movies, unbound by rules, unrestrained by emotions, living according to their own whims, indifferent to the consequences. Even when faced with setbacks, they would laugh heartily, muttering phrases like "things are starting to get interesting"

Xu Jie felt uncomfortable all over after hearing this, and he frowned as he asked, "What is wrong with an ordinary person like me? Does being an ordinary person mean I am unworthy of marrying a wife?"

"Don't be like this. Even if we can't be a couple, we can still be the best of friends." She took out a concert ticket for the famous star Su Yun from her pocket. She would be performing as a guest artist on stage tonight. "This is a VIP area ticket, remember to come and watch my performance."

What are your plans for the future? Tang Fei felt that she had let down the man's sincere feelings, so she wanted to help him within her capabilities, as this would make her feel a bit better inside, at least not feeling so indebted.

Yes!

female fighter

The world has changed, and so have people's hearts

In the past, he had always managed his relationships with the opposite sex with great skill, but today he was repeatedly subjected to ridicule and attacks from women, almost like a rat crossing the street

In conjunction with the recent ambush and the weapons at hand, it is likely that preparations are being made for the next attack

Xu Jie listened, his gaze gradually drifting away. He let out a long sigh and jokingly said, "I plan to quickly find a wife; I even brought the household registration book, so it would be a shame not to use it"

At that moment, a stylishly dressed middle-aged woman stepped out of a parked business vehicle. She cautiously surveyed her surroundings and then quickly approached Tang Fei in her high heels, lowering her voice to say: "You get in the car first"

"It's nothing." Xu Jie replied perfunctorily, quickening his pace. The once familiar voice now sounded so strange.

Eat feces? Who told you to eat feces

It is precisely because he has consumed such toxic platitudes that he has ended up in his current predicament. In fact, he has also said similar things to his heartbroken roommate, and those who understand know the nauseating feeling all too well

Tang Fei was able to talk to him about life and dreams, and he was moved by the other person's dedication. Thus, he decided to support his girlfriend. Before leaving, Tang Fei also confessed her feelings to him: regardless of the outcome, the day the selection ends will be the day we register our marriage.

The theme from the year before last was disease prevention

There is a convenience store near the unit, and he bought bread and milk. He is unsure whether the milk is too cold or the bread is too sweet, as after just two bites, his teeth started to hurt again, like being pricked by a needle

Yet the wine alleviated the toothache, but it also penetrated the sorrowful heart

He turned on the computer

In the midst of anger, one can also realize that one cannot truly affect the other party.

Having finished speaking, he got into the car

Tang Fei hesitated for a moment, but ultimately complied and left obediently

He left the office after saving the file, and the snow outside was still falling. This was the first snowfall of the year, and a thick layer had already settled on the ground, crunching underfoot.

However, today when he hurried back to the office, ready to write something to report, his mind was completely blank. He stared blankly at his laptop, occasionally writing down a few lines mechanically, only to find that they made no sense when he stopped. It was evident that his body had returned, but his spirit had not.

Xu Jie stood dazed in place, yet the muscles in his face were twitching involuntarily. Until the business vehicle gradually drove away, he finally could not help but cover the right side of his face with his hand, hissing as he drew in the cool air through his mouth

Those who wish to see you will traverse mountains and rivers to be by your side; those who do not wish to see you, even if the door is wide open, will not bother to enter

Recently, the team plans to create a special winter program, and everyone is busy with the * illustrations * and books, so I cannot fall behind either

Dressed entirely in black from head to toe, with a black hat, black mask, black scarf, black clothing, and black boots, he was wrapped up tightly, leaving only a pair of vigilant eyes watching him.

A hint of coldness appeared on Xu Jie's face

Liu Jinghua's eyes were blazing with anger; this man was simply unreasonable

Are you alright? The woman walking in front turned to look at him, wearing a knitted hat, sunglasses, a black mask, and a large scarf. She was covered up completely, with not a single inch of skin exposed.

The subsequent developments in the storyline can be easily imagined without excessive speculation: signing with a talent agency, entering the entertainment industry, releasing personal singles and albums, and from then on embarking on the path to stardom, with a bright and splendid future ahead

Xu Jie is a reporter for the "Serving the People" program of the Life Channel at the Beijing Television Station. His daily work involves traversing the streets and alleys, engaging with the lives of ordinary citizens, uncovering valuable news, and addressing various challenges that the public encounters in their daily lives

The woman, upon seeing Tang Fei return to the car, then directed her gaze towards Xu Jie, her eyes revealing a hint of superiority. She said with an air of confidence: "Tang Fei has a good image and a pleasant voice; she is the most promising newcomer with potential in the talent shows of recent years. Her future development in the entertainment industry is limitless..."

By the time Xu Jie finished writing, it was already past 5 a.m. the next day. For him, staying up all night to write copy was a common occurrence. If one wants to stand out and make a name for oneself in the fierce competition, it is essential to invest extra effort.

At the beginning, he firmly opposed the current talent shows that spend lavishly, compete in misery, and engage in hype, where there is no selection but only performance, filled with insider dealings, making it easy to fall into traps if one is not careful

Liu Jinghua was puzzled, but upon a moment's reflection, she immediately realized that the other party was subtly mocking her by comparing her words to excrement, to put it bluntly, it was an outright insult, accusing her of spewing nonsense.

Toothache

After much contemplation, she concluded that it was best to win hearts and minds. Thus, suppressing the anger within her, she spoke in a calmer tone: "In fact, my actions are also for Feifei's sake. Once your relationship with Feifei is exposed, there will immediately be fans who turn against her. At that time, not only will her popularity decline, but her commercial contracts will also be canceled. Su Yun may have a strong presence, but having a boyfriend can still lead to a downfall. If she were to marry someone as ordinary as you, do you think she would be completely ruined?"

At this time, the dental clinic is closed. As the old saying goes, alcohol is the best painkiller. He searched around the convenience store and finally bought a bottle of beer and a pack of Heineken. In medical terms, this is referred to as the effective combination of Eastern and Western medicine

He suddenly gave a self-deprecating bitter smile, having endured sixteen years of hard study by the cold window. It is said that he once understood the origins of life and later the explosion of the sun, yet now he finds himself unable to comprehend women, as if all the knowledge he acquired has been swallowed by a dog.

Since Tang Fei entered the semifinals, contact with him has become increasingly infrequent, sometimes he doesn't even reply to messages, and even after the finals concluded, it took more than a month for him to return

Emotions are nothing but a deception; only work can bring me happiness

In the dead of night, with the surroundings eerily quiet and desolate, a woman suddenly appeared and asked him if he was dead. This scene was truly unsettling, and the woman's attire was equally suspicious.

However, when he arrived at the airport holding fresh flowers to welcome Tang Fei, what awaited him was not the moment to go hand in hand to the civil affairs bureau to register their marriage, but rather the words, "Let's break up."

Copywriting is like porridge; it requires slow simmering to develop its flavor

In the past, I always thought I was still young, so there would be bread, there would be milk, everything would be available. However, after listening to the words of that old woman just now, I realized that what young women today want is not that everything will be available, but that everything is available right now

Wait a moment

The reasons provided are quite simple; romantic relationships and marriage can impact her acting career and influence her fans' affection for her

An old saying goes that a cornered rabbit will bite. If the other party is a journalist and spreads rumors such as "Tang Fei broke up with her boyfriend after rising to fame in the talent show," it will undoubtedly affect Tang Fei's reputation and future career in the entertainment industry

Xu Jie walked out of the convenience store while drinking. When he reached the entrance of his workplace, he felt that this was somewhat inappropriate and detrimental to his image as a positive role model for young pioneers at the station. Therefore, he went to a nearby small park and sat on a bench to drink slowly.

Xu Jie walked out of the terminal in a daze, gazing at the snowflakes that had begun to fall at some unknown time. In his eyes, besides the bewilderment and confusion, there was a deeper sense of melancholy and loss.

Did I disturb her? Xu Jie retorted

Facing the empty room, Xu Jie contemplated many things and gradually calmed down

However, after just one year of sweet days, the prospect of retirement made Tang Fei feel that life was dull and monotonous. Thus, under the encouragement of friends, she signed up for a music talent show, only informing him about it when she had to go out of town for the national competition after passing the preliminary selection.

He twisted open the lid and took a sip, the spicy flavor instantly spread throughout his mouth. His tooth still ached, but it was noticeably alleviated, so he took another sip

Xu Jie was left speechless, his face ashen, having never been so thoroughly rebuffed in his life. What frustrated him even more was that he could not find a word to retort.

Liu Jinghua's gaze became sharp, and her demeanor turned arrogant

Deservedly a single dog

Do you know? The best way to love someone is to fulfill her wishes

The era of talented men and beautiful women has gone forever, replaced by wealthy men and beautiful women. Having talent can captivate women, but without wealth, one will certainly lose everything.

"What I mean is, since we have broken up, you should not disturb Tang Fei in the future." Liu Jinghua glanced at Xu Jie's jacket pocket, where a concert ticket that Tang Fei had stuffed in was half exposed.

... ...

The shop assistant beside her was left dumbfounded, having never seen anyone turn beef into milk before. Sir, are you planning to go tiger hunting later?

Ah!

Just as Xu Jie was about to succumb to darkness, a cold snowball struck his face with a resounding "bang," causing him to choke on a mouthful of snow

Tang Fei felt a sudden discomfort in her heart, as if it were being pricked by needles

This is a thug

Xu Jie did not answer the call; he felt that since they had broken up, there was no need to feign intimacy. Those who claim to remain friends after a breakup either want to keep the other as a backup or are looking for an opportunity to act inappropriately.

The so-called marriage must be built on a material foundation. What can you offer Feifei? Can you afford a villa? Can you buy her Hermès? Can you drive a Maserati? You cannot; you cannot provide Feifei with happiness. Moreover, Tang Fei has already given you the best years of a girl's youth. Be content!

The brilliance of wisdom collided back and forth within the dog's head, and Xu Jie quickly reached a conclusion

Liu Jinghua let out a light laugh, remarking that some things are just like this; breakups may seem commonplace to those within the industry, but to outsiders, they carry deep resentment

Tang Fei was born into an artistic family; her mother was an actress in the Beijing Song and Dance Troupe. Thus, from a young age, she was able to sing and dance well. Coupled with her striking appearance and versatile style, she garnered a large fan base as soon as she took the stage. Later, she advanced through five rounds and defeated six competitors to reach the finals, ultimately securing the title of runner-up.

"Do not blame me; if you must blame someone, blame yourself for your lack of ability." Liu Jinghua shook off the snowflakes from her coat, took a few steps, and turned back to say: "Let me leave you with one last thought: it is better to cherish the memories than to meet again. We shall never ever meet again"

This state continued until the end of the workday, as colleagues left one after another, and soon he was the only one left in the office

... ...

He and Tang Fei are university classmates and also a couple. However, unlike those couples who break up right after graduation, they only officially established their relationship after graduating

Life is like this; one must give up certain things in order to gain others. One cannot have both fish and bear's paw.

Although he has only been in this field for two years, he has already transformed from a novice entering society into an excellent on-screen reporter. He has participated in the planning of multiple special holiday programs and has also guest-hosted outdoor segments. His career prospects can be described as very promising

"No need for that." Xu Jie said with a feigned ease, as he had actually anticipated the outcome for the two of them today.

Desperately clinging on will make feelings seem cheap; it is better to let go of what cannot be held onto and allow oneself to live more freely.

It is a crooked wisdom tooth that has been hurting for the past six months. The dentist advised that it is best to have it extracted

A grain of dust from the era, when it falls upon an individual, becomes a mountain

Beijing Capital International Airport

The language exudes an undeniable authority

You ... ...

... ...

Tang Fei did not accept it upon seeing him, directly stuffing the ticket into his jacket pocket.

A person like him, who relies solely on talent to navigate the world, is inevitably destined to be abandoned

"What are you telling me this for?" Xu Jie said coldly

This year

Last year, the program aired was about scientific fitness

Emotions are actually quite simple; if two people like each other, they come together, and if there is no love, they part ways. When one hesitates to make a decision, it often leads to chaos, and the struggle is the most painful.

As the program is scheduled to air at 20:30, to avoid any unforeseen circumstances, the team usually keeps one person until the end of the program, and it is his turn tonight

He suddenly shouted loudly

He is not a melancholic person; since the breakup has become a foregone conclusion, why should one continue to be entangled in sorrow?

Xu Jie stood up while wiping his mouth, snowflakes falling from his body onto the ground. He looked around and noticed a person standing not far away in the snow, holding a snowball and assuming a throwing posture

Well, let's write it this year
