Chapter 104. Love and problems (4)"Similar? What do you mean?"
Xiao Rin asked with a confused expression on her face.
"Yeah, we are similar. Although I can"t tell you about it much, just remember that you and I are really similar."
Chen Mei said as a hint of sadness appeared on her face and noticing that, Xiao Rin didn"t ask anymore.
"Anyway, you like or I should say you love Ren, right?"
Xiao Rin"s eyes shook when she heard that and she was slightly embarra.s.sed too but she didn"t answer the question.
Chen Mei continued speaking seeing this.
"You don"t have to answer. Your behaviour says it all. Even Ren would notice it after some point and he will surely rej...…"
"I don"t want to hear about it."
Xiao Rin shouted when Chen Mei was in the middle of her sentence and Chen Mei laughed when she saw that.
"Oh, it looks like he had already noticed something. Well, he is not that dense to not notice it but it looks like you were able to dodge the topic."
Hearing her words, Xiao Rin just showed a complicated gaze and Chen Mei continued.
"Anyway, do you think that he will not notice it anymore. Your behavior is too weird these days and I think he had a hunch that you like him and what do you think he will do once he had confirmed it."
Xiao Rin stayed silent but there were earthquakes going on in her insides. She obviously knew the answer to that question.
"He will reject..."
Although she knew the answer to that question, she didn"t want to think about it.
"You obviously knew the answer, right."
"What do I do?? I, I don"t want that."
Xiao Rin said as she was not able to find any solution to her problem. She wanted him to only be with her but she also knows that it was impossible for her currently.
"You know that he"s going to do many movies and dramas from now on. People are labeling him as the rookie of the year and the next top actor. He will be working with many actresses from now on."
Xiao Rin lowered her head when she heard that. She didn"t want to hear more but she knew that she can"t run away from the truth, so she still continued to listen to Chen Mei"s words.
"There will be girls who will surely fall for him as his fame will only increase from now. He also has a good and hardworking personality, so it is inevitable. You can"t stop that."
"So, what can I do?"
"You are too weak currently. You have to reach the top to be with him and you are also too immature and weak currently, you will only be a bother to him currently."
"Reach the top?"
Xiao Rin said with a confused expression.
"Yeah, you are too weak to do anything other than whine about everything. The industry isn"t a place where you can get things by crying or whining. s...o...b..z is a cruel place where you have to do things differently."
"What do I do then?"
"Stop whining about things and accept your powerlessness. You have to s.n.a.t.c.h things here whether it"s things or...….people."
Xiao Rin was wide-eyed when she heard that but Chen Mei didn"t glanced at her after that and just stood up from her seat and walked towards the door.
"I have to prepare for the scene. Think about the things I told you or you will lose the things you love.....forever."
Chen Mei left while saying that and sitting in the room, Xiao Rin just muttered "Thank you" in a quiet voice.

"Action!!"
With Director Fu shout, the final scene finally began.
Rei(Ren) was standing on top of a bridge as he quietly waited for someone.
He had an expectant and nervous look on his face as he waited for her to appear.
It had already been ten years since the night where be had broken up their relations.h.i.+p and promised to meet on the bridge ten years later.
He had accomplished much after that. Unlike his previous life, he was a successful person this time.
After graduating he had started his own company and now, he was rich. It was not that hard since he knew about the future and he wanted to work hard for her.
Thinking about the moments he had spent together with her, he stood still on the bridge, watching couples pa.s.s the bridge holding each other hands.
"Is she not going to come?"
That suspicion arose in his mind as he looked at his watch. He was already waiting for 2 hours but there was no sign of her.
"Maybe she already found someone else?!"
It"s already been years since they had talked, so it was natural for her to find someone else but he still decided to wait.
As he kept waiting, the evening pa.s.sed and now it was night.
"It"s already night."
Rei(Ren) slowly muttered under his breath. He didn"t want to go but he knew that she would not be coming tonight.
"She is at least alive this time!"
Giving his heart that rea.s.surance, he began to walk when he suddenly saw the shadow of a panting woman running towards the bridge.
She was panting but the woman was still running towards him and before she knew it, she had already hugged him.
"I, I thought you would have left. I, I, I…...."
For a while, Rei(Ren) was unable to say anything as he heard the quite weepings of the girl in his arms.
After a while, he finally said some words.
"Are, are you married?"
"No, no, no…..I, I am....not."
"Have someone you like...…."
As he was asking that, a slap appeared on his face suddenly.
"Slap!"
"You are still the same as ever, you idiot!!!"
He was unable to say anything for a while before he let out a small laugh.
"Yeah, I am definitely an idiot but I thought you will not come today, Charo?"
She let out a laugh when she heard that as she replied.
"You still remembered that nickname."
"Yes, I can never forget it."
"But it"s embarra.s.sing now."
"Well, it was always embarra.s.sing."
They both laugh for a while and after that, Charo(Chen Mei) glanced at the night sky as she said.
"It looks like there are lots of stars tonight."
"Yeah, it almost like the day when.….."
Rei(Ren) stopped in the middle as he remembered the night he had scolded the stars and the aftermath of that.
After thinking about all the things, he glanced at the Charo(Chen Mei) in his arms as he said.
"You know I think the stars above are watching us."
"Do you think that?"
"Yeah, the stars are always mysterious."
Rei(Ren) said as he moved towards Charo(Chen Mei) and finally after ten years, their lips met....
"Cut!!"
With that shout from the director, the scene ended and it was the end of Ren"s first drama.
