Chapter 385: Yu Linna Is Back
“Is that so? Are you transforming now? I think it’s pretty good.”
“Mmm, it would be great if it could succeed. As expected, I still can’t let go of my career. Also, when are you planning to come back?”
Yu Linna and Ye Zhiyun, these two lovers who had rarely been together since they had started dating, and had immediately separated after dating, their usual contact was through video and WeChat. Although they had also thought of calling, Ye Zhiyun was abroad, and it was quite expensive to call from abroad to her home country. Plus, Yu Linna was used to being poor before, so she still preferred to have a video call with Ye Zhiyun.
A video call was a very convenient means of contact. No matter where you were, it was easy to see the other person’s face. Like tonight, Yu Linna had run to the balcony to have a video call with Ye Zhiyun, clearly looking at the other person’s face, and being affectionate with her.
“I’ll be back soon, probably when the movie has its test screening. At that time, I hope you’ll support me a lot.”
“Mmm, that’s natural. I’m also about ready to attend public events.”
“Really? When?”
Ye Zhiyun thought to herself, My wife is so cute. She should have appeared in the public eye long ago. But she just wouldn’t come out. It’s gotten to the point where many fans now think that Shion-sensei’s real identity is an ugly man. This is really pissing her off. My wife is clearly very beautiful, okay?
A lot had happened during this time. As Yu Linna’s identity was dug up by people, everyone knew that Yu Linna was Fang Jiangning’s roommate. It seemed she had even been in the entertainment industry before, but for some reason, she was not an actress anymore, just a guest star in movies. But her guest appearances were also quite interesting. Every time, Ye Zhiyun would edit out her guest appearance in a movie and collect it separately.
“I haven’t decided yet, maybe when the new book is released. Of course, it would be best if it could sell well.”
Dawn Assassin was a brand new attempt, a completely different type from Ballad of the Enchantress. If it could succeed, that would naturally be the best, but if it didn’t, then it would just be in vain. The lesson that The Magician had taught her was still vivid in her mind. She didn’t want to experience that kind of situation again.
“My wife is so amazing, she will definitely succeed, right!”
“Get lost. You’re the one who’s my girlfriend.”
“Don’t get tangled up about this. Anyway, you are my girlfriend. This will not change.”
“No, you are my girlfriend. I am your boyfriend.”
“Hahaha, are you trying to make me laugh to death? Just look at yourself. Where do you look like my boyfriend? Nana, oh, stop overthinking it. Being my girlfriend, what’s so bad about it?”
“Stop bullying me! You’re only a year older than me. What are you so arrogant about! I’ll definitely make you cry then!”
“Alright, alright, I’m waiting.”
She comforted her flustered girlfriend like she was comforting a child, thinking to herself that she was really cute. To have such a cute wife in life, what more could she be dissatisfied with? She really wanted to go back to her side right now and spend some wonderful time with her.
She really hated her job a little. It had made her so busy that she had no time to talk to her. She could only have a video call at night. It was too painful. If she could, she wanted to be with her every day.
After hanging up the video, Yu Linna took off her headphones and went back to the dorm in her slippers. At this time, Lan Ranyan had also put down her book and looked at her roommate faintly.
“When did you start dating?”
The big sister of the dorm, Lan Ranyan, was always the one who knew the truth of the matter without being told. It made one wonder if she had read the author’s script.
“Mmm… half a month ago?”
“A long-distance relationship?”
“I guess so. She’s very busy with work and often has to fly to foreign countries.”
“A working adult?”
“No, she’s a year older than me, but she’s on a leave of absence from school. She’s starting a company now. By the way, she’s also a director. The movie she directed will be released at the end of the year.”
“A really nice girlfriend.”
Lan Ranyan asked her questions very calmly and also made herself a cup of health tea to drink. It had to be said that the tea from the south was really not bad.
Yu Linna was back now, but recently, the smile on her face had also increased. Every night, she would run to the balcony to make a phone call or a video call, being affectionate with her girlfriend. Lan Ranyan had seen a photo of Yu Linna’s partner. She was a very beautiful girl, with a full-on onee-san vibe. Mmm, and her chest was also very large. At a glance, she was a female president with a full aura.
It was hard to imagine that this little loli, Yu Linna, would actually like this type.
But thinking of the goofy Xiao Yanhan who had crazily pursued her before, she thought, Actually, it seems it’s not without reason.
“I’m back. I’m so tired today. Ah… Linna, you’re back?”
Xiao Yanhan had just come back from outside and wanted to ask Lan Ranyan to make her a cup of tea. As soon as she saw Yu Linna, all her words were stuck inside and she couldn’t say them.
Ever since she was rejected, three months had passed. These three months were long enough, long enough to make one forget a heavy feeling. But Xiao Yanhan hadn’t seen her for so long and suddenly felt unaccustomed.
“Yanhan, I hear you’re doing well now. You’re awesome. You’ve finally succeeded. Congratulations.”
“Ah… thank you. It’s nothing to be proud of.”
“Mmm, not to be complacent. This kind of awareness is also pretty good. I’ve read your manga. It’s quite interesting.”
It felt like Yu Linna had changed a little.
How should she put it? Had she become a little more cheerful?
Fang Jiangning watched from the side and smiled knowingly. She remembered that in her third year of high school, when she had first met Yu Linna, Yu Linna was just like this, cheerful and strong, never bowing her head no matter how great the difficulty. It was just that she didn’t know when it started, but Yu Linna had closed herself off, gradually stopped loving to smile, and gradually her face had also become serious, as if she had isolated herself from the world.
Now, she seemed to be gradually returning to her former state. Fang Jiangning was really very happy.
“I brought back a lot of local specialties from Japan. I’ve already given Jiangning’s and Ranyan’s. The rest are yours and Bai Ya’s. Take a look.”
“Oh, okay…”
“I learned a lot of Japanese cooking methods in Japan. Some other day, you guys can come to my house to eat. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied.”
“I will. I’ll definitely go.”
Yu Linna was still the same to her as before. It was Xiao Yanhan who was timid herself. No, or rather, Yu Linna had taken a step to change, while Xiao Yanhan did not dare to move forward.
No, as soon as she saw her face, she was reminded of the situation when she had been rejected. It was too painful.
For a whole night, Xiao Yanhan didn’t say a few words to her. It was almost all perfunctory, and more of it was just going through the motions.
“Yanhan, what is she doing? Is she angry with me?”
Yu Linna pulled the big sister of the dorm, Lan Ranyan’s, clothes and asked.
Lan Ranyan looked at Xiao Yanhan, who was drawing alone at her seat. Her heart was also very complicated. Love was certainly a very beautiful thing, but sometimes, it was also a painful thing. The current Xiao Yanhan probably still couldn’t let go of that obsession in her heart.
“Give her some time to think about it. She will figure it out.”
Lan Ranyan could only say so.
…
After not attending class for three months, when Yu Linna returned to the classroom, her classmates were all stunned. Although in her freshman year, this little girl Yu Linna had often asked for leave and skipped class, her grades had always remained first. Her perverted high scores had crushed her classmates. Even the classmates who had no record of skipping class, with deductions and extra points from student council and other organizational activities, could only be defeated by the gap in the total score, and reluctantly took second and third place.
Now in her sophomore year, Yu Linna had disappeared for three months and had returned. Her classmates were all very surprised. This person, who had been very famous since her freshman year, and was now even revealed to be Fang Jiangning’s best friend, Little Na, the little internet celebrity who had only streamed twice.
“Yu Linna, you’re here? Long time no see.”
When the teacher saw her, he teased her jokingly. University was different from high school after all. They wouldn’t be on your case so much. They wouldn’t care too much if you came to class or not. A university teacher would usually just take a look and that’s it, and at most, they would joke a few times with the students who had skipped class many times.
Of course, strict teachers were an exception.
“I was thinking that I had too many deductions. I felt a little sorry for you, so I came back.”
“That sentence would have been very useful if you were dealing with a high school teacher.”
The implication was, I don’t believe you.
Yu Linna’s identity was not the same as in the past. Now, besides being Yu Linna, she was also that Little Angel’s best friend, Little Na, and also the Yu Linna who had been in the limelight on a Japanese TV show. For a short time, her attention was very high.
“Little Linna, I finally saw you~ Why did you run off to Japan? Was it because of a commercial secret, or were you planning something! I get it! Actually, you signed with Japan… ow ow ow! Don’t pinch me!”
“Bai Ya, if you say any more nonsense, I won’t be polite.”
“Then you don’t have to be so mean to me… by the way, was Japan fun? I saw your TV show. You seem to be learning Japanese. Can you speak it now?”
“Of course I can. Do you want me to teach you?”
“So amazing. As for Japanese, I only know ‘baka’ and ‘yamete.’ Can you teach me a little more?”
As soon as Bai Ya saw her come to the classroom, she immediately went over and sat with her, discussing the story of Yu Linna going abroad for work. That was the former king, Shion-sensei, her former idol. She definitely had to get close to her and build a good relationship. Such an amazing great god was right in front of her. How could she let her go?
Yu Linna naturally wouldn’t bother with her and obediently attended class, took notes, and then completed the homework the teacher had given her. During the break between classes, she took out her other notebook and continued to design her unfinished novel’s setting. On it were recorded the worldview, combat power, protagonist, supporting characters, and various plots, as well as weapons that she had set for Dawn Assassin.
Because this was a novel from a female protagonist’s perspective, Yu Linna currently had no intention of including a male protagonist. There were male characters, but as for the male protagonist, she would think about it slowly.
“Dawn Assassin? You’re starting a new book? You’re going to write an assassin theme this time?”
The outspoken Bai Ya picked up Yu Linna’s notebook and praised it a few times.
Her voice was not deliberately lowered. The surrounding classmates all heard it. A few of them turned their heads to look, their eyes full of curiosity. Yu Linna quickly took back her notebook and knocked her on the head.
“Stop fooling around.”
“Wuwuwu…”
Seeing that the few curious classmates had turned their heads back and continued to do their own things, Yu Linna breathed a sigh of relief. They should not have noticed. The matter had just passed like that.
