Chapter 378: It’s Time to Go Back
After deciding on the theme to write and the target audience, Yu Linna tried to start working that night. Before that, of course, she had to do the initial character and worldview settings. These were all necessary things. She had tried to create using her old methods, but found that it didn’t work.
In the past, she had always written stories from the male protagonist’s perspective. To suddenly change her style and write a story from the female protagonist’s perspective was still a bit difficult. The first thing was the change in style. In the past, she was also keen on writing dark and deep themes, and liked to create some heart-wrenching plots. Now this habit also had to be changed. She tried to arrange the plot to be as cheerful as possible. Although it would be quite difficult at first.
And so, this night, Yu Linna had a headache. She had used up a dozen sheets of draft paper, but still couldn’t decide on the worldview. She had also thought of writing a hero-themed story, but when she tried to do the settings, she found that it was still not very good, so she crumpled it into a ball and threw it away. Then she went to think of other stories.
The path of creation is really complicated. Yu Linna sat in her seat, the floor covered with the crumpled paper balls she had thrown away. She also made herself a cup of coffee and walked down to think slowly. As a professional writer, her daily life was that simple. Every day, she had to face manuscripts and nothing but manuscripts, often having a headache before the deadline. Even for a “tentacle monster” like Yu Linna, who was famous in the industry, she would still have a headache before the deadline.
In other words, if a writer could be so simple, then it wouldn’t be called a writer.
…
The next morning, Yu Linna made a Japanese-style breakfast as usual, had breakfast with Miss Sakurai, and then they each went out to prepare for work.
“By the way, your girlfriend has gone back, right?”
Sakurai Reina tied up her hair and asked.
“You mean Zhiyun? She’s gone to Malaysia. She’s very busy.”
“I see. It’s not easy to be in a relationship. You two are so far apart.”
That was also true. A long-distance relationship and all that, it was indeed quite hard.
But what surprised Sakurai Reina was that this child actually didn’t deny her relationship with her. As expected, her relationship with her girlfriend had only just happened not long ago.
To Yu Linna, life was no different from before. Ye Zhiyun was still that busy person, always running all over the world. It was not so easy for her to see her. It was better when they lived together before. At least they could see each other every day. Now it was good. They were clearly dating, but they couldn’t see each other often.
“We have a video call every night, so it feels okay.”
“Wow, is this real-life dog food? So nice. Keep it up.”
Sakurai Reina said with a smile, cheering her on.
Recently, Yu Linna’s Japanese level had gotten better and better, and she was speaking more and more fluently. There were no major problems with her daily Japanese conversations with Miss Sakurai. It was hard to imagine that she had only been learning Japanese for less than three months, and now her accent was a bit like a Tokyo native’s.
The happiest one should be Hase Yuki. This pervert had wanted to be intimate with her for a long time, but was hindered by the language barrier. Now that Yu Linna could speak Japanese, she was naturally overjoyed.
Sakurai Reina had gone out early for work, and she didn’t know if she would be back at night. She had told Yu Linna not to wait for her for dinner.
Just as Yu Linna had sent Sakurai Reina off and hadn’t even had time to pack up and go out, a WeChat call came in. She took a look, and it was actually Fang Jiangning. Ever since she had run to Japan, she had been in contact with Fang Jiangning every week, but she rarely had a phone call in the morning.
She pressed the answer button and put it to her ear.
“Jiangning? What’s wrong?”
“Linna, you’ve seen Weibo, right? My fans are now staking out the school every day. They’ve even run to the downstairs of our girls’ dorm. Weibo is full of messages asking me if you are Little Na.”
“I know about that. I guess they’ve even dug up the fact that I’ve gone to Japan.”
“You’re right about that. These idle people have really dug it up. What should we do? Should we admit that you are Little Na? By the way, most of the onlookers at our school have already confirmed that you are Little Na.”
This was really troublesome.
Originally, Yu Linna didn’t want to stream, and she especially didn’t want to be known, so she had chosen to wear a mask. Now it was good. Because she had been on a Japanese show once, her voice had been recognized. The most terrifying thing was that this group of people actually had the mind to dig up her dark history.
She had also been on Weibo and had seen it. These fans were really terrifying. They had dug up the information that she had been deskmates with Fang Jiangning in high school and roommates in university. But the good thing was that they hadn’t dug up the fact that she was an orphan. If they had really dug it up, it wouldn’t be very good.
But also because Yu Linna herself was on the hot search, it had made the classmates in the university even more convinced of the fact that “the people in dorm 383 are all monsters and demons.” Plus, Xiao Yanhan’s popularity had been rising recently, Fang Jiangning had been invited to be a commentator, and Yu Linna was on Weibo again, and Lan Ranyan had even been revealed to be a second-generation military…
Guangnan University was on fire again this time.
But the reason was not because of Zhao Yuyan.
As the saying goes, those who hear it are sad, and those who listen shed tears.
“Jiangning, if we really can’t hide it anymore, then let’s just forget it.”
“You mean, I can publicly admit that you are my roommate?”
“Mmm, anyway, we have to admit it sooner or later.”
“Alright then! I’ll post a Weibo. At that time, you can log into Little Na’s account and give me a like. By the way, when are you coming back? You’ve been away from school for almost three months. The semester is already half over!”
Sigh, Yu Linna sighed again.
I have to go back.
She had stayed in Japan for too long. Although it was because of work, in any case, she was still a student. It was obviously not good not to go to class. It was about time to go back.
“Mmm, I’ll be back soon.”
Originally, she had wanted to come to Japan to study, but this exchange meeting was useless at all. She hadn’t learned anything. But her time in Japan was not without its gains.
“By the way, Jiangning, I’ve started dating Zhiyun recently.”
“Eh?”
“Well, that… we’re in a relationship. That’s all.”
“…Congratulations?”
Fang Jiangning was a little stunned. What is this operation? Xiao Yanhan’s crush is dating someone else? And it’s an acquaintance of hers, Fang Jiangning? This is a bit of a big leap. Fang Jiangning needs to calm down. Right, first have a moment of silence for Xiao Yanhan. She’ll treat her to a cake tonight.
…
Ye Zhiyun was heading to Malaysia without stopping, continuing to the next station. For the next period of time, she would be flying all over the world, selling overseas copyrights. Although as a new director, it was not an easy thing for this movie to succeed. But she would give it a try. Maybe.
“You’re quite capable, Zhiyun! Congratulations on your relationship with Linna!”
Dai Wenqian had found out about her and Yu Linna on the phone and had sent her blessings at the first opportunity. This despicable Miss Ye, so anxious to watch, and now they’re finally dating. How gratifying.
“Zhiyun, remember to treat us to dinner when you get back. Let’s have a good celebration party.”
“I will, I will.”
“But you two are in a long-distance relationship now, right? It must be very lonely not to be able to see each other usually.”
“It’s okay. We have a video call every day.”
When Ye Zhiyun mentioned this, her smile was always very brilliant, a little dazzling to onlookers.
To be able to date the person she liked was a very happy thing for her. After the matter was settled, she had told her friends about this happy event at the first opportunity. It couldn’t be described how happy she was.
Dai Wenqian was also quite happy that her good friend could date the person she liked. This grand old lady had had a crush on her childhood friend for many years in high school, and had ended up as a loser. Now it was good. She had finally found her own happiness. Although it was a girl, what did it matter?
As long as she was happy, it wasn’t a big deal.
Hanging up the phone, Ye Zhiyun looked at the Malaysian airport, the strange characters, the unfamiliar people. She was about to start a new journey again. Hopefully, everything would go smoothly. As long as she could make money, her company would surely be able to get off the ground. But before that, she had to give her aunt a call.
Li Jing quickly answered her phone. It was her free time, and she was wondering why Ye Zhiyun had called.
“Auntie, I’m dating Nana. This bet, I won.”
Li Jing’s face was slightly stunned, showing anger, and she was about to explode. But thinking that it was she who had made the bet in the first place, she could only admit defeat.
Her own niece had ended up dating a girl. There was nothing to be done about this kind of thing. After all, it was her own choice.
“Alright, as we agreed, you won the one-year bet. I won’t interfere with your matter anymore. But Zhiyun, you are an adult. You have your own judgment about your future affairs. Well, you don’t want to listen to me anyway. In short, be responsible for your own feelings.”
Li Jing could only say this. What else could she say?
I’m sorry, sister. Your daughter ended up being with a girl.
Li Jing rubbed her head, thinking that the world of women in love was really complicated. Was it really that good for women to be in love with women? Li Jing didn’t even dare to think about it.
At this time, a woman with long hair that reached the back of her neck brought in a document and placed it on Li Jing’s desk, carefully sorting it for her.
“President Li, this is the meeting materials, this is the client information, and here is the budget result, this is the client information, and here…”
This woman had probably just graduated from university. The childishness on her body had not yet faded. It was out of place with the social atmosphere of a person like Li Jing. At a glance, you could tell that she had not been beaten by society.
“You seem to come to my office quite often. What’s your name? Do you want some coffee?”
Perhaps life always had to have a different feeling.
…
Yu Linna packed her things and went to the set, reviewed the script with the director, and then when the actors were almost ready, they started filming. Because Yusa Maho was busy with voice acting and her agency’s work, she was exhausted every day and couldn’t be in two places at once. Today, because she had to voice a promotional PV for an animation, she did not appear on the set. Yu Linna just watched Han Ying work hard to act opposite the female lead. It had to be said that although Han Ying was a Chinese-American, it was not a simple matter for her to get the role of the second female lead in a TV series. She especially cherished this opportunity and had been working very hard.
“Director, I want to discuss something with you.”
“What is it, Shion-sensei?”
“I’m going back to my home country soon. The progress of the TV series, I probably won’t be able to continue to supervise.”
Her words were like a thunderclap on a clear day, instantly disrupting everyone’s hearts.
The director was clearly a little unwilling.
