Chapter 322: A Change in Attitude
It was a reunion after a long time. Although their statuses and positions were different now, Yu Linna still regarded Shen Wenwen as a senior. When she was rehearsing at Happy Fries back then, she had often asked her for advice, so she had a good impression of her. Tonight, she had also taken the initiative to treat her to dinner, calling out a few of her old friends from Happy Fries to reminisce. She had only stayed at Happy Fries for a week, but after the people on the set found out that she had once stayed at Happy Fries, they desperately wanted to get on her good side.
Perhaps humans are all like this. When you’re not famous, no one pays attention to you. Now that you are famous, they will try every means to have a connection with you.
“Is this really okay, Little Yu? Generally speaking, shouldn’t I be the one treating?”
Seeing the waiter set up the hot pot, Shen Wenwen said this to Yu Linna. In any case, she, Shen Wenwen, was the pillar of Happy Fries, and among everyone present, she was the oldest, 27 years old. And Yu Linna was the youngest, 19. In any case, it should be her, the big sister, who treated.
“Sister Shen, you just have to eat. Didn’t we agree that I would pay the bill? And I’m also happy today, so don’t worry about it so much.”
Yu Linna said with a smile.
After not seeing her for two years, she had really changed a lot.
A little transparent person had actually become a very popular novelist today. Although this novelist’s popularity was also gradually declining, it could not be denied that she had been popular before. No matter how Shen Wenwen thought about it, she still found it incredible.
When she had acted with her today, she was also much more natural than two years ago. Although she couldn’t say that her progress was rapid, at least she was much better than before. If she continued to develop like this, with proper cultivation, she might not be a bad seedling for acting. Unfortunately, that was already impossible.
“Little Yu, what are your plans for the future?” Shen Wenwen asked.
“Work hard, just like that,” Yu Linna replied.
At this time, the drinks and beverages also arrived. Shen Wenwen poured beer for everyone. Yu Linna, who didn’t drink, ordered orange juice. The ingredients for the hot pot also arrived. Shen Wenwen poured them in and started to cook the hot pot. Yu Linna would only be staying with the crew for a week. She didn’t have many scenes, but the company wanted her to visit and entertain her at the same time.
After the company’s boss found out that Shion-sensei had once stayed at Happy Fries, he immediately had someone verify the information and then had Shen Wenwen get close to her, saying it was to build a good relationship for future cooperation. In any case, Yu Linna’s net worth was now higher than Shen Wenwen’s. It was not strange for the other party to have such thoughts.
After dinner, Yu Linna returned to the hotel she was staying at. She exchanged contacts with Shen Wenwen and also with Ai Xiansen and the others, and then went back to her room. She didn’t have much work in the crew, and her guest appearance was not many scenes, but the money she got was quite a lot. She couldn’t help but think of the days when she had been an extra in other crews. At that time, she didn’t even have a single line, just showed her face.
Now, with her guest appearances in a few movies, she had left a deep impression on the audience. Some people had even become her fans. These so-called fans had even dug up the photos and TV clips of her as an extra in the crew before, which could be said to be quite terrifying. The bad films and the TV shows with no lines that she had filmed before, these people had actually been able to find them.
After taking a shower, before going to sleep, she opened WeChat and chatted with An Xiayue. Now An Xiayue would share photos of her filming in Africa with her every day, and Yu Linna was also happy to chat with her.
◇ Yu Xia: Look at this. We were filming a sea scene today. We rented a yacht. The sea in Africa is not bad, right? [Photo] [Photo]
◇ NA Nana: It is indeed very beautiful. Sister Yue, when will your scenes be finished?
◇ Yu Xia: At the end of the summer vacation, maybe. This movie is scheduled to be released next year.
◇ NA Nana: I will go to the premiere.
Yu Linna showed a smile. It was really interesting to chat with her. They were clearly just talking about inconspicuous little things, but she was very happy. Besides Ye Zhiyun, An Xiayue was the first person who could make her so happy chatting.
She really wanted to go to Africa to visit the set, but she also knew that going abroad was impossible. Even if she wanted to, Sister Chen wouldn’t allow it. Otherwise, she would die a horrible death.
Anyway, she had time during this period. She might as well go and visit someone’s set. Tang Yumeng’s? No, she would meet Nangong Ying there, so she gave up. Then… there weren’t many places she could go. Besides going to see Tang Yumeng, it was to see An Xiayue, or to see Shen Wenwen.
Shen Wenwen’s film was about to wrap up, probably at the end of this month. But she said she would be filming another movie. She could consider visiting her on set.
…
In Guangnan City, Luo Nan had already finished her final exams and had gone home. Her school’s exam time was relatively early, so she was able to go home. This time, she wanted to come back and see Zhao Yuyan. Another semester had passed. Luo Nan’s hair had grown long, to her earlobes, and she had become more feminine. She didn’t know what Zhao Yuyan’s reaction would be when she saw her this time. It would probably be very exciting.
Although she thought so, when she saw Zhao Yuyan, she hadn’t shown an exciting expression yet. She herself, on the contrary, showed a stunned expression first.
“Yuyan… how have you… gotten so round?”
Yes, when she saw Zhao Yuyan running in sportswear, she even thought she had mistaken her for someone else. But seeing the decadent expression on her face, she was sure it was Zhao Yuyan.
Zhao Yuyan’s figure had really gained a lot of weight. She used to be very thin, but now she was a little chubby. The key was that her stomach was very prominent, as if she had been drinking beer for a long time. Zhao Yuyan’s face was also rounder than before. Although she was still very cute, her figure could not come back.
“As you can see, I’m on a diet. I couldn’t control my mouth for a moment and got fat.”
Zhao Yuyan could only answer this way.
Although losing weight was very painful, she had also achieved some results now. Before, she was 110 pounds, but now she had already lost 4 pounds. She was determined to exercise well and get her weight down to the 90s. In any case, she had to return to her previous slender figure.
“I say you, Yuyan, you can’t be so arrogant just because your novel sells well. You’re eating too much. Your aunt will beat you if she finds out.”
“That’s true. If my mom finds out I’ve gotten so fat, she will definitely beat me to death. She might not even give me food.”
Zhao Yuyan was about to cry.
When she had first come to Guangnan to live, and got into university here, and also became a novelist, she was supposed to be the pride of the whole family. Zhao Yuyan’s mom would also often brag about her in front of her relatives. After all, she was a big celebrity. But now this “big celebrity” had become so arrogant. How could her mom not teach her a lesson?
“I really can’t do anything about you, Yuyan. I’ll help you lose weight. From today on, you’ll exercise well and eat a diet meal.”
Luo Nan squatted down and patted her head, comforting her. Before, it was always Zhao Yuyan who comforted her. Now, after they grew up, the tables had turned.
“Although I have to exercise, I still want to eat fried chicken and coke. Can I tonight…”
“Don’t even think about it. Just be good and eat vegetarian.”
“Sigh, I really want to eat a big meal.”
After pushing her to exercise for a whole afternoon, buying her water during that time, and monitoring her at all times, Zhao Yuyan was almost exhausted. When the exercise for the day was almost over, Zhao Yuyan collapsed on the ground, almost dying. Luo Nan then pulled her back to her house. She would definitely be staying at Zhao Yuyan’s small house tonight. Putting other things aside, the fact that Zhao Yuyan had a place to live in Guangnan was very convenient.
“You must be exhausted, Yuyan. Sit down. I’ll cook for you. What do you want to eat tonight?”
“I want to eat beer-braised duck.”
“No.”
“Then, sweet and sour pork ribs and fried fish.”
“No.”
“This is not okay, that is not okay. What do you want me to eat? Scrambled eggs with tomatoes?”
“Mmm, this is okay. It’s settled.”
“You’re a devil! Can’t you make me a delicious big meal like before!”
“You’re on a diet. You can’t eat these. Be good, go take a shower. You can eat after you’re done.”
She coaxed her like a child, tricking her into the bathroom to take a shower. Zhao Yuyan unwillingly picked up her clothes and went to take a shower. Actually, she really wanted to eat a big meal. The Luo Nan of the past was so good to her, cooking all kinds of delicious food for her. Now, hmph, she had become a bad person.
Luo Nan looked at her pouting face and couldn’t help but smile. This person was so cute.
Luo Nan put on her apron and prepared dinner. Thinking of Zhao Yuyan’s round appearance, she felt that it was actually quite cute. If she couldn’t lose weight, it would be fine to just stay like this. That way, no one would want her, and at that time, Zhao Yuyan would only have Luo Nan to rely on.
In this way, Zhao Yuyan would be hers. This plan was truly perfect.
Thinking of how handsome the Zhao Yuyan of the past was, standing in front of her, protecting her from being bullied. After they grew up, the tables had turned. The one who needed to be taken care of the most had become Zhao Yuyan. It was a good thing that the current Zhao Yuyan had no boyfriend. If she did, she would immediately chop him off. She could take care of her with peace of mind.
Zhao Yuyan came out of the shower, dried her hair, and changed into her pajamas, ready to eat. Although her figure was out of shape, her face was still as cute as before. This hadn’t changed. And her face was even softer to the touch than before. So good.
“Luo Nan, can you stop touching my face? Weren’t we going to eat?”
“Oh dear, I forgot. Sit down. I cooked some meat soup today. As for the dishes, let’s just have some simple home-cooked food. Because you can’t eat too greasy, I won’t be making a big meal today.”
“I want to eat Little Nana’s dinner…”
“Don’t even think about it. Isn’t she on a business trip? Be good. I’ll be staying here for these few days, until you go back with me.”
Luo Nan’s hometown was the same as Zhao Yuyan’s. They were even neighbors, so they naturally went back together. It was just that Zhao Yuyan liked to fool around outside alone. It was impossible for her to play games and eat late-night snacks at home, so she didn’t like to go back.
Luo Nan’s career had also been booming recently. As soon as her science fiction anime Space Fortress was broadcast, it was a big hit, which boosted her novel sales. Now, the copyright of her other novel, Finding Home, had also been bought and was to be adapted into an IP movie. They were both people, and both had successful careers. Why had Zhao Yuyan become so arrogant? This was a story worth pondering.
“Yuyan, what are your plans for the summer vacation? Do you want to go somewhere with me?”
“I was actually planning to be decadent.”
“You should go out more. You’re too fat.”
With that, she pinched her little belly, and Zhao Yuyan slapped her hand away, happening to grab her hand. Luo Nan was stunned for a moment, her face blushing slightly. She coughed twice and let go, pretending nothing had happened.
