During my time studying abroad, my first love started dating my lookalike.
On the day I returned home, she attended my welcome-back party with her current boyfriend.
All our friends in the circle were waiting to see me make a fool of myself.
I hadn't prepared to be the butt of any jokes, but I did bring back a new girlfriend.
On the day we broke up, Melody Quinn told me on SnapChat:
"I'm sorry, Chase. I broke my promise. I don't want to wait anymore."
At that time, I still had one year left to complete my studies.
We had made it through the first three years, but our relationship fell apart in the final year.
Her change of heart had shown signs early on.
So I wasn't too surprised. Suppressing the sourness in my heart, I replied to her:
"It's okay. Let's just be friends then."
"Alright."
But later, I found out she had blocked me.
A qualified ex should be like they're dead to you.
I didn't blame her, and I blocked her in return.
Just before I returned home, an old friend insisted on arranging a welcome-back party for me.
They didn't tell me that Melody Quinn and her new boyfriend would be there too.
It was my buddy who couldn't stand it and tipped me off.
"Chase, don't go! They're all waiting to see you make a fool of yourself!
Quinn's current boyfriend is afraid she still has lingering feelings for you, so he's insisting on doing this to publicly claim her in front of you."
I said nonchalantly:
"Besides the two of them, there are others I know. It's fine, I'll just do them a favor and show up."
"Forget it, they're all Quinn's girlfriends.
Ah! I happen to have something that day, otherwise I'd be there with you, and definitely wouldn't let you be taken advantage of."
"Thanks for letting me know.
If someone has set the stage expecting me to perform, how can I disappoint them?
Don't worry, I have a way to deal with this."
On the day I returned, I kept the appointment as scheduled.
As soon as I stepped in when the waiter pushed open the door of the private room, I saw Melody Quinn sitting in the main seat.
After more than a year apart, she still looked as composed and elegant as ever, with the air of an elite in a high position.
Sitting beside her was a handsome man, who must be her boyfriend.
Luke Carter, the new artist signed by Melody Quinn's company.
He looked about 80-90% similar to me.
My heart tightened.
I still remember two years ago when Melody Quinn sent me Luke Carter's photo.
She said:
"A new talent came for an interview today, and it startled me. I thought you had secretly come back to surprise me."
At that time, Luke Carter looked even more like me than he does now.
His hairstyle and dress style were exactly the same as mine.
I didn't take it too seriously then, and joked:
"Could we be related by blood? I'd better go ask my dad."
Melody Quinn said:
"Probably not. He's from out of town, both his parents are alive, and he has a twin sister who doesn't look like him."
"You even investigated him?"
"Of course, we have to thoroughly understand the background of any new talent we sign."
Who would have thought that the substitute I didn't take seriously back then would now rightfully take my place.
Back to the present.
Melody Quinn's friend "Jenny Collins" stood up.
"Welcome back our talented scholar, returning in glory..."
She was in the middle of her opening remarks when her voice suddenly stopped.
Everyone turned to look at the woman behind me.
I calmly greeted them:
"Long time no see, thank you all for still remembering me."
Jenny gave a dry laugh and asked curiously:
"Chase, who's this? Won't you introduce us?"
I stepped aside so they could get a better look.
I introduced her casually:
"This is Starr Simmons, my girlfriend."
When the words "my girlfriend" dropped, everyone present couldn't hide their surprised expressions.
Starr Simmons smiled, revealing two sweet dimples:
"Good evening, everyone. I'm honored to be able to attend your gathering."
Starr Simmons was already stunningly beautiful, and when she smiled like that, you can imagine how devastating it was.
The men present couldn't take their eyes off her.
A girl with long straight black hair said sourly:
"Wow, Chase, your girlfriend is so beautiful!"
The others immediately chimed in:
"She's almost too pretty. Miss Simmons, are you a celebrity or a model?"
Before I could open my mouth, Starr Simmons immediately said sweetly:
"Thank you for the compliment, you're very beautiful too! Please, just call me Starr."
Not only was she gorgeous, but she was also good with words.
The crowd that had been waiting to see me embarrassed now had their attention completely drawn by Starr Simmons.
Even Luke Carter couldn't help but sneak glances at Starr Simmons.
Melody Quinn's face clearly didn't look good, and she said in a low voice:
"Let's all sit down and chat, don't keep standing."
