Chapter 244: This Is a Win
Xiao Yanhan was heartbroken, in agony, utterly devastated.
Because the plane ticket she wanted to buy was actually sold out. My god, did it have to be this crazy! Shanghai was her hometown, after all. How could there be a time when she couldn’t buy a ticket back home? This was too absurd.
“Wuwuwu, there are no plane tickets left. There are scalper tickets for sale, but they’re too expensive. They’re selling for almost ten thousand!”
Xiao Yanhan was in despair.
The most important thing to her was the Shanghai comic con, because there she could buy one of the thousand limited edition autographs of her idol, Shion-sensei. She didn’t want to miss it under any circumstances. She had already booked her ticket to the con, and she wasn’t worried about a place to stay; her hometown was in Shanghai. But the problem now was that she couldn’t buy a ticket.
“Yanhan, why don’t you take the high-speed rail instead?” Lan Ranyan suggested.
Sigh.
Xiao Yanhan sighed.
It seemed this was the only way now. Although it would delay her arrival in Shanghai, there was no other choice. To go to the comic con, she had to race against time. She was Shion’s die-hard fan. How could she face her title as the number one female fan if she didn’t go to support him? This limited edition of a thousand autographs, she had to get one.
“Sisters, quick, help me snatch a ticket! I’m counting on you!”
Xiao Yanhan sent the ticket-snatching mini-program to their dorm group chat, asking everyone to help her get a ticket. The three of them naturally helped her, boosting her chances. Perhaps Xiao Yanhan’s luck was a bit bad. She didn’t get a first-class seat, only a second-class one. But to her, the seat location didn’t matter much. As long as she could get to Shanghai, it was fine. It would just take a long time.
“Thank you, sisters. When I get the autograph, I will definitely repay you.”
Xiao Yanhan had a look of satisfaction on her face, as if she could already see her future. In any case, this trip to Shanghai would surely be very interesting.
While Xiao Yanhan was humming a little tune and went out to get water, Lan Ranyan looked at Yu Linna, who was still typing on her keyboard on the bed, and sighed deeply.
“How long do you plan to hide it? You can’t hide it forever, right?”
“Mmm… let’s hide it for a month first.”
She said so, but it still felt like this plan was not very reliable.
This blonde roommate, why was she so cowardly?
…
Military training was almost over. For the final cultural performance, Fang Jiangning was the main representative of their class. Other girls had also signed up, but they were defeated in the face of Fang Jiangning’s beauty. Plus, the three girls standing next to her were all high-value beauties, so soon a rumor spread that the 383 girls’ dormitory was a beauty training camp.
On the day of the military training rehearsal, after Yu Linna and the others finished their last set of movements, they were allowed to rest. In the afternoon, there would be a formation performance, and in the evening, a talent show. Military training would end after that. Yu Linna leaned against a tree, not wanting to move anymore.
“Linna, let me tell you, I can bring you back some local specialties from Shanghai. My hometown is in Shanghai. I can bring back whatever you want.”
Xiao Yanhan came over to her and started a conversation. These days, she had gotten along quite well with her. The last outing had brought them closer. Xiao Yanhan also particularly liked this blonde girl. Although this girl seemed very cold, she just liked to play with her.
“That won’t be necessary.”
Yu Linna had already been to Shanghai. She knew what was there. She certainly didn’t expect any local specialties.
Speaking of Shanghai…
She thought of Ye Zhiyun again. Being with her in Shanghai during the summer vacation, how happy they were then. They thought they could be this happy forever, but who would have thought…
Forget it. Don’t think about it.
“Linna, look at your little face, so glum all day. Be careful, you’ll get old.”
With that, Xiao Yanhan poked her cheek. It was quite fun, she had to say.
She grabbed her hand and threw it away.
“Stop it.”
“Yo, you’re shy now. I’m going to play with it even more~”
“Get your salty pig hands off me! You will pay the price!”
Yu Linna, her face being pulled in all directions by two hands, waved her small hands in anger, but it was no use.
“I’ll (beep) you (beep) (beep)!”
“Wow, you, a girl, actually swearing. I’ll have to teach you a lesson on behalf of your father. I’ll knead, I’ll knead!”
“I’ll chop you up…!”
Finally, a satisfied Xiao Yanhan put down her hands. The feel of it was truly blissful.
And Yu Linna’s face was almost red from all the kneading, on the verge of tears. This damn Xiao Yanhan, how could she do this to her? Dammit, after we get back to the dorm, I’m definitely hiding her facial cleanser so she can’t use it.
“Linna, after I get back, let’s go out and have some fun, okay?”
After getting her fill of satisfaction, Xiao Yanhan leaned against the tree and said contentedly.
“Where do you want to go?”
“Haven’t decided yet. But we can discuss it. Let’s go to a place none of us have been to and have some fun. I wonder if there are any hot springs nearby. I want to go for a soak. In Japanese anime, aren’t there a lot of famous hot spring scenes?”
“If you’re thinking about mixed bathing, then forget it.”
“Wow, you rejected it so quickly…”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
Yu Linna stood up and patted the dust off her bottom, wanting to go to the toilet. Her body had stopped developing many years ago, and her figure had remained in the loli stage. Xiao Yanhan had probably gotten more familiar with her, becoming more unrestrained. She actually reached out and pinched her bottom.
“Kya~”
“Ohya? So you can make such a cute sound. Awesome.”
Xiao Yanhan gave a comical smile and patted her bottom a few more times. Yu Linna’s face turned beet red. She slapped her hand away and glared at her fiercely.
It had to be said, if her current expression were paired with the words “super fierce,” it would be very interesting.
“Don’t be like that, girl. You still have your charm. Or should I help you feel it some more?”
With that, Xiao Yanhan wanted to move her dirty hands again.
“Get lost! Xiao Yanhan, if you dare to touch me again, I’ll chop off your whole hand.”
Yu Linna exploded with anger, her eyes filled with fury. Her entire demeanor changed, giving off a very oppressive feeling.
Xiao Yanhan’s hand stopped in mid-air, extremely awkward. How did this girl change again? She was quite cute when she was blushing just now. How is she so scary now? Wuwuwu, I was wrong.
Yu Linna turned and left in a huff, leaving the still panting Xiao Yanhan behind. Xiao Yanhan thought this girl was a bit scary. Wasn’t it just a butt-pat? Why such a big reaction? We’re both girls. This girl was also very strange. She didn’t want anyone to accompany her to the toilet, she had to change her clothes away from them, and when she came out of the shower, her clothes were always fully on. Not like a girl at all!
But she had to admit, among the four in the dorm, Yu Linna was the best-looking. Although she had no figure, no large chest, her appearance was a whole lot better than theirs.
And it had to be said, Yu-meizi’s butt felt really good to the touch. Xiao Yanhan was hooked. She really wanted to touch it again. My god, what’s wrong with me? I’m not a pervert.
Yu Linna finished using the toilet, washed her hands, and washed her face as well. Today was the last day of military training. Once she got through it, everything would be over. This damn military training was too annoying. After it was over, she just wanted to be a shut-in. Her work, it was time to step it up. Although she wasn’t writing the script anymore, her novels still had to be serialized as usual.
Suddenly, the moment Yu Linna looked up, she saw a black-haired girl outside the sports field’s fence. The black-haired girl was wearing the same brand-name clothes and shoes as usual. She stood there from a distance, looking at her, her thoughts unknown.
Yu Linna’s throat went dry. She wanted to say something, but not a single word came out of her vocal cords. She looked at her, and she looked back at her. Neither of them made a move.
Zhiyun…
Yu Linna’s eyes dimmed.
What is she doing here?
Is there anything else she wants to say?
In fact, Ye Zhiyun just wanted to come and see her, that was all. She had seen her, knew what she was doing, whether she was doing well or not. That was enough. How Ye Zhiyun wished she could accompany her, be with her, do things they had never done before. Unfortunately, that was impossible. At least, not now.
Ye Zhiyun silently turned and left, as if she had never been there.
That back gradually grew distant, and Yu Linna’s heart constricted. They really couldn’t go back, could they? She washed her face again with cold water. The summer water wasn’t cold at all, still carrying a residual warmth. Droplets of water dripped from the strands of hair on her forehead, falling into the sink one by one. She could hardly recognize who she was anymore. Was she Yu Linna, or…
Carrying these memories was really painful. If she could, she really wanted to forget everything and start over.
But, that was not possible…
After the lesson with Nangong Ying, she should have understood. She should have understood long ago. To hold onto expectations excessively, the final result is getting hurt yourself…
I can’t have expectations anymore. The only person in this world you can trust is yourself.
She finished washing her face and went back to the resting place. At this moment, Xiao Yanhan hadn’t learned her lesson and wanted to be a nuisance again. This time, she was even more blatant, going for her chest.
“Hehe, Linna baby, where are you running to? Why don’t we communicate our feelings~”
“…You’re not afraid of getting dirty.”
“I won’t dislike you. Come on, baby, how about throwing yourself into my embrace? My embrace is very warm.”
Xiao Yanhan said so, but her hands didn’t look like they were in a hugging posture at all. Anyone with eyes could see that.
But Yu Linna was probably tired and didn’t want to argue about it so much. Right now, she wanted to rest.
She leaned her head over, resting it on her chest, which made Xiao Yanhan, who wanted to get handsy with her, freeze in an instant. Her hands stopped in mid-air, at a loss.
And Yu Linna also took the opportunity to lean half of her body over. The two of them slid down together, sitting under the tree.
“What, didn’t you want a hug? Scared now?”
Her voice was very soft, buzzing like a mosquito, but it made one’s heart itch to hear it.
Xiao Yanhan put down her hands and let her lean on her. The hands that had wanted to do evil were now completely still.
“Haha, my charm is very great…”
“…”
“Linna, is something on your mind?”
“…A little tired.”
“Then, let’s rest together.”
“Okay.”
Perhaps it really was time to rest.
But Yu Linna knew she couldn’t rest. She wouldn’t stop. As for when she would stop, she herself didn’t know.
But at least now she had to rest well. Xiao Yanhan’s chest was not bad. It was good to lean on it for a while, Yu Linna thought.
