Chapter 21 I Once Had Beautiful Love

Xu Mo continued what he was doing. More and more people were queuing up.

Some of the passersby felt curious and joined the queue.

The live stream room was very lively. He looked up and continued working.

Xiao Ke sat obediently on the stool. When she heard that others could not find anything, she took the initiative to take it.

Xu Mo turned around at all times and instructed Xiao Ke not to leave.

There were only a few surveillance cameras in this food street. There was one about ten meters away, but Xu Mo was still worried.

Although he was a little curious about where Xu Nanjin had gone, he didn’t have the time to ask now.

Zhu Yumeng came out to shop. When she was resting in the milk tea shop, she saw Xu Mo’s live stream.

She blinked, thinking she must be mistaken.

Wasn’t this her boyfriend from all those years ago? Instead of doing his job, he was selling egg fried rice.

Those who said that the food was delicious in the live-stream were probably fake.

It wasn’t like she hadn’t eaten it before. It was barely passable.

Beside her was her best friend, Wang Sisi. When she saw Xu Mo, her eyes lit up. “This streamer is so handsome. It’s just that there’s too much oil and smoke when he’s cooking.”

Zhu Yumeng rolled her eyes. “Look carefully. This is my ex-boyfriend from university.”

She had felt that he was unreliable when she was in university. Fortunately, she broke up with him in time.

She didn’t expect him to be in such dire straits after a few years.

Speaking of which, she was the one who took the initiative to pursue Xu Mo back then.

At that time, Xu Mo was sunny and handsome, but he had never had a girlfriend.

She wanted to find a boyfriend to fall in love with and get married and have children after graduation.

It didn’t take long for the two of them to be together when she took a fancy to him back then.

She had thought that there would be a sweet relationship, but who knew that all the girls in the dormitory had hooked up with rich people?

On the first day of their relationship, they had all picked up purses and watches worth tens of thousands of yuan. Even a set of cosmetics cost thousands.

This made her feel extremely unbalanced. She thought to herself that she was no worse than anyone else. She was so poor after finding a boyfriend.

More importantly, they were fanning the flames.

“Yumeng, I really envy you for finding such a handsome boyfriend. You can fill your stomach without eating every day. After all, handsomeness is food.”

“Although my boyfriend is a little fat and not very handsome, he’s so generous to me. We’re preparing to go overseas next month. Just thinking about it makes me excited.”

“I told my boyfriend not to give me anything, but he insisted. This necklace costs more than a hundred thousand. Do you think it looks

good?”

Zhu Yumeng was hit hard, but she tried to control her emotions.

She began to have fantasies about Xu Mo. He had never had a girlfriend before, so he must have saved all his money for her to spend.

The next day, he went to look for Xu Mo and asked indirectly, “It’s my birthday next week. What are you planning to give me?”.

Xu Mo said without thinking, “Then I’ll order a cake for you. The cake at the school gate is cheap. It’s only 100 yuan.”

That pissed her off enough to walk away without another word.

Was she only worth a hundred yuan?

The sisters in the same dormitory received gifts that were worth a few thousand yuan.

She had wanted to break up that day, but after thinking about it, she felt indignant.

After all, Xu Mo was so handsome. She felt great to bring him out.

‘Besides, he might just be talking. If he surprises me on my birthday, I’ll forgive

him.’

But by that day, there was only a hundred-yuan cake and nothing else.

When she went back that night, she cried pitifully. Nobody could calm her down.

One word from each of her sisters completely set her heart on fire.

“If he doesn’t give it to you, ask him for it. If he still refuses, threaten him with a breakup.”

“We aren’t young forever. If he can’t give you anything, don’t waste your time.”

“I think he’s just stingy. He obviously has money, but he doesn’t take it out for you to spend.”

Zhu Yumeng wiped her tears and decided to ask Xu Mo for an explanation the next day.

Perhaps because her eyes were a little swollen from crying all night, Xu Mo knew that he had done something wrong.

Before she could say anything, he gave her a set of cosmetics. The price should be two to three thousand yuan.

It was obvious that this was the first time he had given such an expensive gift. He looked uncomfortable.

Zhu Yumeng’s mood immediately improved. Her sisters were right.

He was just stingy. He couldn’t bear to spend it on her.

The next few times, she directly said what she wanted. If Xu Mo didn’t buy it, she would cry.

After returning to the dormitory, she finally had something to talk about. She finally didn’t have to envy others.

Just like that, she always asked Xu Mo for gifts, but she was never willing to give anything

Even though they were deeply in love, she said she wouldn’t sleep with him until after the wedding

Xu Mo had always respected her. After all, she had promised to get married after graduation and he even looked forward to a good life with her.

After a while, she found out that Xu Mo’s money was all from working on weekends and summers. The tens of thousands of yuan he had saved were almost spent.

Although her heart ached a little, she could not help but suck blood when she saw her sisters’ dressing becoming more and more fancy.

The day had finally come. Graduation was only a month away, and they had been dating for six months.

Thinking about her confused life in the future and looking at her salary in the talent market, Zhu Yumeng had the thought of retreating.

She was going to live a comfortable life with a rich man like her sisters in the dormitory.

Hence, she made up her mind to ask Xu Mo out to chat, on the field where they usually strolled.

She said, “Xu Mo, let’s break up.”

Looking at Xu Mo’s stunned expression, she also felt very uncomfortable.

At first, she wanted to have a good relationship, get married, and have children.

It was just that reality was too cruel for her to have such fantasies.

Besides, she was still a virgin, which made her more valuable in the marriage market. How could she bet her future on him?

Although he was surprised, Xu Mo quickly calmed down.

He asked, “Do you want to break up because you think I’m too poor to give you a future?”

Without missing a beat, she nodded. “I’m glad you figured that out. Let’s not keep in touch.”

Xu Mo asked, “Is there someone else?”

Zhu Yumeng still felt angry when she thought about it. This was simply an insult to her.

After an angry glare, she said, “I’ve never done anything to let you down. Believe it or not, it’s up to you.”

After that, they never saw each other again.

She had thought that Xu Mo would spread rumors about her outside, but she had never heard of it when she graduated.

Although it had been a few years, the beauty of those moments was vivid in her mind.

Only Xu Mo treated her sincerely and spent the money he earned on her.

He bought different things for her to eat every day. Sometimes, he even made them by himself.

Moreover, his looks were indeed remarkable. It was not easy to forget him.

Wang Sisi knew what she was thinking and teased, “Do you want to get back together with him? It’s not easy to find a suitable match after so many years.”

She was mocking Xu Mo just now, but after hearing Wang Sisi’s words, she immediately felt that it was not impossible.

She’d been on blind dates since graduation.

She didn’t ask for much. It was fine as long as he was as handsome as Xu Mo and his family had a house, a car, and savings. He also had to be an only child. He had to be nice to her. He must give her anything she wanted.

She had thought that there were many men for her to choose from, but it turned out that was not the case at all.

She was afraid that if she continued, no one would want her.

Seeing that someone was giving gifts in the live-stream, she also decided to give out gifts.

How much did you spend on me in the past? I’ll tip you back today!
