Chapter 269: Let’s Go Get an Autograph
In the eyes of her classmates, this blonde mixed-race girl was cute, seemed to be good at her studies, and had a very likable appearance. Many girls couldn’t help but want to shower her with their maternal affection. There was no helping it; she looked soft and moe and just so cute, it made you want to pat her head.
Although this loli seemed a bit aloof and cold, it didn’t affect everyone’s fondness for her.
Yu Linna was already used to this, had been used to it since she was little.
In elementary school, everyone was probably still young, and they were quite sensitive to her as an “outsider,” constantly ostracizing her, thinking she was a foreigner. But starting from middle and high school, the number of people who were hostile to her gradually disappeared. Instead, many people began to look at her with appreciation, which then developed into admiration. Especially in high school, many girls wanted to get close to her. There was no helping it; she was too cute. In her third year of high school, when she was deskmates with Fang Jiangning, Fang Jiangning had even used milk tea to tempt her.
And in university, well, it was even more obvious.
“Hey, hey, little cutie, won’t you have something to eat before you go? I still have some chocolate.”
“Little cutie, try the cookies I made. They’re delicious~”
“…”
Yu Linna simply gave a poker face to this, but even so, they still found her very cute.
“Look, she’s glaring at us. So cute~”
“This ‘super fierce’ expression is awesome, so moe~”
“…”
Perhaps this world was one that judged by looks, and appearance was justice.
“I’m just here to get a manga.”
“No rush. You see, I also have a few sets of novels. You can pick whichever you like. These are all my collectibles.”
Bai Ya’s bookshelf on her desk had many novels and manga. There were many that Yu Linna had read, but of course, there were also many she hadn’t seen. She took a few of the manga she hadn’t read and glanced at them. They seemed alright, so she borrowed them. She could read them tonight when she was resting.
“What about novels? Do you read novels? This is Shion-sensei’s novel, and also Air-sensei’s. You can also choose Bai Chen-sensei’s!”
“I’ve read them all, thank you.”
These novel authors, she had even met them in person. What was so great about their novels?
“I also have a collection of Blu-ray DVDs here, all super valuable. Little cutie, want them?”
Bai Ya’s roommate, Su Ziyan, came over, shaking the DVD in her hand. Su Ziyan was the type with delicate features. When she wasn’t wearing makeup, she looked plain, but with makeup, she was a great beauty. But even so, being so close to such a girl, Yu Linna still felt a little hot.
“I’ve seen this ‘Enter the Dragon’.”
“Then what about ‘Zero-Point Magician’?”
“Seen it.”
“‘Princess Love’?”
“…Why would a girl like you buy this kind of thing?”
“Not interested in any of them. What about a movie DVD? There’s the director’s cut DVD of Batman v Superman. The plot is super dark and deep.”
“There’s this DVD? I’ve only seen the theatrical version. Let me borrow it to watch.”
Clearly, Yu Linna was very interested in the superhero DVD. Su Ziyan’s eyes lit up. She held the DVD up high, not letting Yu Linna take it.
A certain Nana who couldn’t reach the DVD above her head due to her height: “……”.
“Call me ‘big sister’, and I’ll lend it to you.”
“…Big sister.”
“Aiya, good.”
Su Ziyan was very satisfied and lent the DVD to her. But Yu Linna felt it was really boring. Wasn’t it just a title? Was there a need to be so happy? It was as if she had never called someone ‘big sister’ before.
With the manga and the DVD, Yu Linna thought she could watch them to her heart’s content tonight. University was different from high school. Under normal circumstances, there was no evening self-study. And this semester, their class had very few evening classes. Coincidentally, she also had a lot of work, so she could take a break and watch some manga and DVDs.
“By the way, sisters, we’re going to do something later. Want to come along?”
Su Ziyan, perhaps on a whim, or because she was idle, suddenly called out to Yu Linna, who was about to leave the dorm.
“I heard yesterday that the famous Air-sensei came back to school last night. She should be holed up in her dorm now. Let’s go visit this senpai!”
“…”
Yu Linna looked at her with an expression that said, “Are you an idiot?”
That person, Zhao Yuyan, as a famous author, should have some self-awareness. She had been famous for a long time. She should know how to hide from these annoying fans at school. The dorm auntie in their building would definitely stop outsiders from entering their dorm building, unless they were registered students.
Su Ziyan’s plan was obviously not going to work.
“I’m not trying to discourage you, but it’s not that easy to see her. If you want to see her, you might see her if you run a few more laps on the sports field. Or you might run into her when you go out to eat.”
Yu Linna replied faintly.
But Su Ziyan clearly refused to accept it, mobilizing her roommates to go to Zhao Yuyan’s dorm together, saying they wanted to ask for autographs and photos. Having a big star in the school always brought this kind of headache.
As a result, besides Bai Ya, no one in the dorm was willing to go with her. And Bai Ya didn’t want to go alone with her, so she also pulled Yu Linna along.
“Why do I have to go with you?”
“Come with me. I’ll lend you the 1952 issue of the Batman magazine later.”
“…Alright then.”
Zhao Yuyan wasn’t important. The magazine was what mattered.
That being said, it really wasn’t a simple matter for the three of them to enter Zhao Yuyan’s dorm building. Zhao Yuyan’s dorm building was located behind the new campus. Behind the dorm building was a back mountain, and the most fatal thing was that they had to use identity verification to enter and exit their dorm. Everyone who wanted to enter had to swipe their student card. The student card had their personal information and dorm check-in information. Only registered people could enter. It was nothing like Yu Linna’s dorm, where you could just swipe your dorm key to get in.
“Mmm, what should we do? It seems we can’t get in just by waiting…”
Bai Ya held her chin and said with a troubled expression.
Zhao Yuyan was a celebrity in the school, the famous Air-sensei, and also a super famous procrastinator. There were quite a few people who wanted to settle scores with her. The girls in this dorm building had probably looked for her quite a few times, and Zhao Yuyan just locked her door every day, sometimes even running home to stay.
“Let’s wait. When a senpai comes in and swipes her card, we can sneak in.”
Su Ziyan gave herself a pat on the back for her wit.
And Yu Linna indicated that she shouldn’t have gotten involved in this mess. Was it too late for her to go back now? Her manuscript hadn’t been written yet.
…
Zhao Yuyan was currently playing games in her dorm. She was wearing pink pajamas, headphones, and her uncombed hair was sticking up like it had been electrocuted. Due to staying up late, her dark circles were obvious, and her complexion was not particularly good. She had just finished a ranked match and was wondering why her takeout hadn’t arrived yet when her roommate called her.
“Yuyan, go down and get the takeout. I’m chatting with my boyfriend.”
“Why me?”
“You big lazy person, I don’t see you going down much usually. Hurry up, it’s your turn to get it this time.”
“No.”
“Zhao Yuyan, if you don’t go, none of us four will get to eat.”
“…Pissing me off.”
Zhao Yuyan had no choice. She took off her headphones, put her hands in her pockets, and went downstairs in her slippers to get the takeout. As a big lazy person, Zhao Yuyan usually didn’t go to class and holed up in her dorm playing games. When she had to rush her manuscript, she was like a bloodthirsty maniac and could go without sleep for several days. And sometimes she would go back to the house Wenqing had arranged for her, to focus on her retirement. Although she was famous, she was too lazy and had been cursed by countless fans for lacking the harsh beatings of society.
This day, Zhao Yuyan, who rarely went downstairs to get takeout, finally agreed to leave her dorm. To avoid being recognized by fans, she put on the hood of her pajamas and went downstairs to get the takeout, pretending to be an ordinary girl.
Downstairs, the dorm door opened. Su Ziyan’s eyes straightened, and she was about to charge in. This senpai who came downstairs to get takeout in cute pajamas, no matter who you were, you were a great person.
“Hello, is this the takeout for Miss Chen?”
“Yes, it’s mine.”
The moment Zhao Yuyan spoke, Yu Linna’s foot, which had just stepped onto the stairs, froze. She turned her head in shock, looking at the girl who was getting the takeout. And when Zhao Yuyan took the takeout and was about to go upstairs, she happened to see the blonde girl who was pulling open the dorm’s main door to go upstairs.
“Little Nana? What are you doing at my dorm?”
“I, I…”
Yu Linna “I”-ed for a long time, not knowing what to say, at a loss for words for a moment.
On the other hand, the sharp-eyed Bai Ya felt the voice was familiar. Looking at her face carefully, the features became more and more similar.
“Air-sensei! Oh my god…”
As soon as Bai Ya opened her mouth, Zhao Yuyan immediately went up and covered her mouth, telling her to shut up.
“Shh, don’t say it. Do you want me to not be able to go back to my dorm?”
“…”
“Air-sensei, I love you…”
“Stop, stop, don’t shout. I’ll give you an autograph, just don’t shout.”
Zhao Yuyan quickly pulled the three of them and brought them upstairs. Fortunately, the girls on the first floor didn’t notice what had happened, otherwise Zhao Yuyan would have been blocked to death, and she really wouldn’t have been able to go back to her dorm.
And Su Ziyan, seeing her in person for the first time, was so excited. She grabbed her hand, her eyes sparkling. The thought of being able to take a photo with her made her feel especially happy.
…
“I say, Little Nana, if you’re coming, why didn’t you tell me beforehand? You caught me completely unprepared. I was almost discovered.”
Zhao Yuyan flicked Yu Linna’s forehead and said angrily.
“I wasn’t planning on coming.”
Holding her forehead, Yu Linna said so.
At this, Bai Ya and Su Ziyan were both stunned. Their art style turned into simple lines, with an “impossible” expression. They stared at Yu Linna.
“You know Air-sensei?!” x2
“Didn’t I tell you? We’re neighbors. But you never believed me, thought I was lying to you.”
Yu Linna replied silently.
That was true. Yu Linna had said before, “I’m neighbors with Air-sensei,” but no one believed her, except for Yu Linna’s roommates. Because if you suddenly told someone you were neighbors with Air-sensei, it would be like someone telling you, “I’m actually childhood friends with Jack Ma.” It was very unreliable and didn’t sound true.
“How was I supposed to know you were telling the truth!!”
Bai Ya wanted to slap her past self at that moment. Who knew she was telling the truth? If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have had to go through so much trouble. She could have just used her relationship with Yu Linna to meet her.
“You little rascal, bringing friends over to visit. Have you eaten?”
“We’ve all eaten.”
“That’s good. Come on, come sit in my dorm. You’ve been at school for so long, and you haven’t come to find me once.”
Listening to their conversation, Bai Ya and Su Ziyan felt, ah, they had really come at the right time. It was so blissful.
