Chapter 435: A Time to Rest
During the live stream, Yu Linna’s high praise for Black Wolf made people online start to silently pay attention to this movie that had not yet officially landed in theaters. To be able to get such a high evaluation from the great god Shion-sensei, it was probably not a very bad movie. And so, this movie slowly attracted the attention of passersby.
Although the summary was not so outstanding, this movie surely had its brilliant points. After all, this was highly recommended by Shion-sensei.
After the live stream ended, Yu Xiayue went on Weibo and saw the netizens’ comments on this movie. It had to be said that Shion-sensei was worthy of being a high-level traffic on Weibo. Just one sentence could attract the attention of Weibo. Yu Xiayue had rarely been on Weibo since she had returned to the United States. It was only when she had returned to her home country that she had started to look at Weibo. She had just learned about some of the recent events.
After reading the heated discussion on Weibo, Yu Xiayue turned off Weibo and tidied up her appearance. She didn’t know how much traffic this premiere could bring. If things developed in a good direction, that would naturally be the best. After all, this was her first movie as a lead actress after returning to her home country. She also hoped that it could bring enough topic heat, as well as a high box office. As an actress, she naturally hoped that her work could be recognized by the audience.
Before, she had also invited Yu Linna to her grandparents’ house for the New Year. Because Yu Linna had no family, and she spent every New Year alone, she had thought of inviting her to spend the New Year together. But Yu Linna had refused her, on the grounds that she was going to her girlfriend’s house for the New Year.
Although she was a little surprised that Yu Linna was a lesbian, she didn’t take it to heart much and just said that they would go out and play together after the New Year.
“Sister Yue, what are you doing here after everything is over?”
“Nothing. I’m idle anyway. Let’s go for a walk somewhere. Coincidentally, I also want to eat something.”
“Alright. I also want to go out and eat something, but there are so many people nearby. We’ll be recognized, right?”
“It’s fine. Let’s just wear a hat when we go out. I want to go out and play.”
In the end, Yu Linna couldn’t refuse her request and had no choice but to go back with her to change her clothes, and then put on a neutral jacket, a hat, and sunglasses, and even specially tied up her hair, looking like an American secret agent.
It had to be said that when the two of them dressed up like this, they looked quite alike.
“Not bad, this outfit. The more I look at it, the more I like it.”
Yu Xiayue stared at Yu Linna and exclaimed with a “tsk tsk.” Yu Linna scratched her head and didn’t say anything.
The two of them, after telling Hu Qing, came out of the hotel and ran to the street to go shopping. A girl’s biggest interest is nothing more than shopping. Yu Xiayue was no exception. She took Yu Linna to the mall and went through several floors, especially the clothing section. She looked at many places. As a young miss, Yu Xiayue was not short of money when she bought things, but she also bought according to the brand. She would only buy it if she liked it. And Yu Xiayue held many global membership cards. She would swipe her card and buy all the global brands she liked. In a short while, her hands were full of shopping bags. Even Yu Linna was stunned.
“Can you finish wearing so many if you buy them?”
“You don’t understand. Of course, the more clothes a girl has, the better. You can change into different clothes every day. It’s because of clothes that a woman has meaning in her life.”
“A woman’s world is so complicated.”
“As if you’re not a woman.”
“I’m a girl.”
Clothes, for Yu Linna, were probably just for keeping warm. In the past, when her days were poor, the clothes she bought were very cheap, almost all of them trash from the street stalls. And at that time, her days were too hard. She had been wearing her 12-year-old clothes until she was 18 and hadn’t changed them. Her simple living habits had continued all along. Even after she had made a lot of money and her net worth had risen, she had not changed for a long time.
As for clothes having a brand name or a matching style, she had only slowly learned about it after she had become a novelist. Before she went to university, her clothing style was very old-fashioned, and she was often disliked for wasting a good face. Now her clothing style had changed a lot.
“With so many clothes, how are you planning to take them back? I can’t carry that many.”
“You can rest assured about this. I’ll just make a phone call and have the butler help me take them back.”
“…”
How should she put it? It was said that this An Xiayue was even richer than Ye Zhiyun.
Forget it. I don’t understand this kind of world.
After finishing shopping for clothes, Yu Xiayue took her to buy milk tea, and then to eat snacks. The two girls went through the entire mall together. In the end, Yu Xiayue felt that just eating was boring, so she went to buy movie tickets, and the two of them watched a movie together.
The time without work was so happy. There was no need to be busy, nor was there a need to think about other things. They just needed to relax their brains and enjoy this brief moment. As busy people, whether it was Yu Xiayue or Yu Linna, they did not have much free time. They were mostly running around to various places, especially Yu Xiayue. As an artist, she had to fly around, flying to every corner of the world.
Although the two of them could reach a consensus on the topic of food and the problem of playing, when it came to watching movies, the types the two of them liked were completely different. What Yu Linna liked was superhero and science fiction themes. Yu Xiayue, on the other hand, liked horror films, so this time when she bought movie tickets, she had bought tickets for a horror film. At that time, Yu Linna’s face had turned pale when she saw it.
“Yue-Sister Yue, are we watching this?”
“Mmm! I hear this The Woman on the Computer Screen is quite good. It’s a bit like Sadako. I’m particularly interested. This is the best Korean horror film of the year.”
“…How about we just forget it?”
Yu Linna was really refusing, refusing from the bottom of her heart.
However, this was of no use.
Yu Xiayue, who was keen on watching horror films, dragged her in, pressed her into a seat, and sealed off her thoughts of wanting to escape. And with the appearance of the movie’s logo, Yu Linna had a look of seeing God. She was already desperate about this.
Not long after, Yu Linna covered her own eyes, her face pale, her body trembling slightly. It was the woman’s screams that came from the screen from time to time that had made Yu Linna completely desperate. How she wished she could escape this damned place. She secretly glanced at Yu Xiayue and found that she was watching with relish, and her popcorn was also very fragrant, her eyes radiating with light.
Speaking of which, Korean horror films rarely landed in American cinemas, and Yu Xiayue was a fan of horror films. Whether it was Korean, Japanese, Thai, or even American, she loved to watch them all and was even a horror film expert. Anyway, the more stimulating, the better.
And Yu Linna was completely not good at watching horror films. She was scared to death!
“Wuwuwu, can we not watch it anymore…”
Yu Linna was so desperate she wanted to cry. She pulled open the armrest, hugged Yu Xiayue’s arm, and curled up on her, almost crying.
Yu Xiayue felt that this was not bad either. Such a cute loli was hugging her. She had made a huge profit. And this movie was also too good to watch. The popcorn was also delicious. Yu Xiayue was particularly satisfied.
“Nana, it’s not scary. Here, have some popcorn.”
“Wuwuwu, you’re a bad person…”
“Yes, yes, I’m a bad person. But this popcorn is very fragrant. Eat.”
“…”
Yu Linna opened her mouth and bit down.
Although the movie was very scary, the popcorn was indeed delicious. This was undeniable. At this thought, Yu Linna hugged her even tighter. Next time, she would not watch this kind of movie no matter what. If she had to watch, she would watch her favorite type of film.
After a movie, Yu Xiayue was satisfied. The movie was good to watch, the popcorn was also delicious, and the little person next to her was also cute.
“Phew, the movie was great.”
“It wasn’t good at all! They even dug out a person’s kidney! Where was it good to watch when it was so bloody!”
“Don’t say that. When we watch zombie movies, don’t we always watch people being dismembered by zombies?”
“Stop talking! I’m not listening! I’m not watching such a scary movie!”
Yu Linna really had no way with this kind of terrifying, scary movie. She hated watching this kind of film because she was very afraid that those damned things would run out of the screen! So she had always not watched horror films. Things like Zombie Crisis, Sadako, Dawn of the Dead, and Ghost Town, she didn’t watch any of them. It was so scary, okay!
“Be good. Big sister will treat you to something delicious. Don’t be angry with me anymore.”
Yu Xiayue patted her head and said comfortingly.
“Hmph.”
Yu Linna, however, did not appreciate it and turned her head away in a huff, extremely cute.
Yu Xiayue covered her mouth and snickered. This person was so cute. So great. By the way, her girlfriend was too lucky. How could she be dating such a cute person?
“I know a super awesome Western restaurant in Beijing. The steak is delicious. If you want to eat it, I’ll make a reservation for you. If I make a reservation, you don’t have to queue. We can eat tonight.”
“…”
“Let’s eat together, Little Nana~”
“…I’m not going because I want to eat steak. I just think that since we’re already here, let’s just go once.”
“Pfft!… Alright, alright. Whatever you say is fine.”
Yu Xiayue laughed even more happily. How had she not discovered before that this kid was so cute? She could be tricked away with just a single delicious meal. So cute. But Yu Xiayue had clearly forgotten that she was also the same as her.
“Nana, I think I really like you.”
“What’s wrong? I already have a girlfriend.”
“It’s not that kind of like! I think you’re quite cute. I don’t know why, but I particularly like to be with you.”
“Me too.”
Yu Linna said with a smile.
When she was with Yu Xiayue, she always felt very happy and not at all repulsed. It was as if they were connected by something. Although they hadn’t done anything, they had intentionally or unintentionally gotten close to each other.
“If I had a younger sister, it would probably be a similar feeling. I feel very happy when I’m with you.”
“Thank you. I also feel that if I had an older sister, she would probably be quite similar to you.”
“Our thoughts are surprisingly consistent. Alright, let’s not talk about this first. Let’s go, let’s go for a walk somewhere.”
“Okay.”
The two hands were held together, squeezed in the crowd, and gradually disappeared. A golden hair fell to the ground, was swept away by the wind. The ethereal smile also gradually faded.
Yu Xiayue, for some reason, began to recall the time in her past childhood, that very short period of time. But soon she cried and laughed, and threw this matter to the back of her mind. To her, that was just something she had experienced when she was very young.
