My Youth Began With Him

“The fake that looks like me?” Huo Mian didn’t know whether she should laugh or cry upon hearing it.

“From my viewpoint, you are the original and she’s the counterfeit version.”

“Hahahaha.” This was the first time he made Huo Mian laugh.

In the past, she always found this man flirty and was repulsed by his interactions.

However, after a while of contact, she found out that his nature wasn’t inherently bad and that he spoke with humor occasionally.

“This is the first time I saw you genuinely laugh at my joke, I could get used to this.” Jiang Ye was in a great mood.

“Don’t kid yourself, Actor King Jiang, you’re a household name with countless fans, and I’m just a common nobody.”

“Stop humbling yourself, if you were a common nobody, who are we? You drive a Porsche and live in a manor. Are you really a nobody?”

Huo Mian didn’t know how to reply.

“Okay, okay. I’m going to stop teasing you. I haven’t seen you in a while, meeting here was a good coincidence. If I went to find you at South Side, you wouldn’t be half as pleasant.”

“Say, is everyone this weird?” Huo Mian looked at Jiang Ye and asked.

“What do you mean?” He didn’t seem to understand what Huo Mian meant.

“What you can’t have will always be the most appealing…”

“Where did that philosophical thought come from?” He softly smiled.

“There’s a popular TV show named Eternal Love, do you know about it?”

“You like watching girly TV shows like that?” Jiang Ye was taken aback. It turned out that even the coldest person had a soft side.

“Why can’t I? I might be older, but I have a youthful heart, okay? I’m not some alien.” Huo Mian rolled her eyes.

“So, you like Ye Hua?” Jiang Ye asked.

“No, I like Li Jing.”

Jiang Ye was speechless.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Girl, you really have a special taste.” Jiang Ye smiled.

“To each their own, I was just thinking about how Li Jing could never get with Bai Qian, and that’s why he thought about her for the rest of his life. If it was Bai Qian who he married, then it would probably be Xuan Nu who he thinks about. Men are like this, what they can’t have will always be the best.”

“I don’t really know how to answer. I am looking at the issue as a man, but what I think doesn’t represent all men. From how I see it, I would really cherish something I love, even if I couldn’t have it. If it’s something I feel indifferent about, I won’t care about it at all. Let me explain it to you this way, say you were shopping and saw a dress you like. It’s tens of thousands of dollars and you can’t afford it. You buy a cheap one that only costs a few hundred dollars. After you go home, you never wore that cheap dress because you never liked it to begin with, and you’ll always think about the expensive one.”

“That makes sense.” Huo Mian nodded.

Jiang Ye was so much older than her and much more experienced.

“Right, what did you want to inquire about?” Huo Mian suddenly remembered what Jiang Ye said.

“So, I found an important lead recently…”

Before he could finish speaking, a voice sounded behind them.

“Jiang Ye, are you very close to Dr. Huo?” Su Yu was standing behind Huo Mian with a cold face. He looked at Jiang Ye in a hostile manner.
