Chapter 456: Their Respective Lives
Ye Zhiyun recently liked to go to bars, liked to go drinking after work, with Han Ying. It was said that when people were under a lot of pressure, they liked to rely on alcohol to relieve their boredom. Ye Zhiyun very much agreed with this statement. Although as a public figure, she should not drink alcohol, she was not very famous, and drinking was something she did after work, and it did not affect her work. Ye Zhiyun felt that she had not done anything wrong.
And Han Ying also liked this. When she was in Japan, she liked to go to pubs after work. Some Japanese people liked to have a drink after work. It was unknown whether Han Ying was also influenced by this in Japan.
“This cup, ‘Lover’s Tears’, after drinking it, you will forget everything. Han Ying, what do you think?”
She held a glass of white wine and said lightly.
“How can it be so mysterious? It’s just Jiang Xiaobai mixed with Sprite. Some people always think that a bottle of wine can hide countless secrets. In fact, there are not so many things. Wine, to put it bluntly, is just a drink with alcohol.”
Han Ying did not believe in these mysterious things. As for the stories in the wine, she had already cried enough in the year she was cheated on. No matter how many meanings the wine had, to put it bluntly, wasn’t it just a drink, just mixed with alcohol?
Lover’s tears, it sounded nice, but the thing that could really make you forget your lover was definitely not wine, but time.
“Han Ying, you are too much of a killjoy.”
“Killjoy or not, I don’t know. Zhiyun, you’ve had a bit too much to drink today. You have to go to work tomorrow.”
“How can I… I’m just sad. I haven’t had any of her messages in a long time.”
Speaking of which, those two were still in the middle of a fight. Han Ying had been working at her company all along and had almost forgotten that Ye Zhiyun had a lover.
Ye Zhiyun and Yu Linna were both relatively stubborn people. Neither of them was willing to bow their heads and admit their mistakes. And this time, the quarrel was even more serious than before. They had directly stopped contacting each other. Before, Yu Linna would still bow her head and admit her mistake, but not now.
And the reason why the two of them had come to this was nothing more than because of their long-distance relationship, which had caused many conflicts. Reality is always like this. People always think that love is very beautiful, but love is not just about talking about love. It also requires mutual understanding, mutual tolerance, and long-term persistence.
Love, how can it be as simple as people think?
In the past, she had thought that she could give up the whole world for love, but in the end, she had found that she couldn’t even protect her own love, let alone give up the world.
What else can love do?
Love can make a person unforgettable.
And to want to protect love is a matter for two people.
In the end, Han Ying had sent the drunken Ye Zhiyun back to the hotel, and then she had taken a taxi back herself. She had also wanted to drive back, but she had drunk and could not drive. But Han Ying had discovered that Ye Zhiyun loved to drink even more than when she was in Japan, and the number of times she got drunk had also increased.
Han Ying herself had no standing to say anything about Ye Zhiyun. She was just an outsider. After experiencing her previous relationship, she had originally wanted to go home, but in that city, Tokyo, she could do nothing but act. She could only force herself to live in that city until she became popular. When Ye Zhiyun had invited her back to her home country, she had also considered it for a long time. In the end, the reason she was willing to come back was because she wanted to hide from Odamura Miku.
In a sense, she was the same as Ye Zhiyun, just an escaper of love.
…
Ye Zhiyun now received flowers every two days. These flowers were all sent to the company, and the sender was always the same person, and there was always a letter.
Today, she had received 33 red roses with baby’s breath. The meaning of such a flower was also very obvious.
Three lives and three worlds, in this life and the next, I will love you. Loving you is the greatest luck in my life. My heart for you is unchanging.
Such a fanatical signal of love, even a fool should know who the fan was. The front desk of the company had even said that in the future, they should not accept such words. The person who sent such flowers must be an otaku, who could only express himself in this way. But Ye Zhiyun had not had the front desk refuse to accept them.
Such a fanatical love, she did not dislike it at all. For some reason, she felt that it was very familiar. She did not want to lose the days without flowers.
Even if it meant changing herself…
Although the sender was always the same person, the address from which the flowers were sent was always changing. This made it impossible for Ye Zhiyun to know where the sender was from, or where the person was. Although it was not impossible to find out using her own connections, Ye Zhiyun had given up. On the one hand, she was too busy and had no time. On the other hand, she felt that it was not bad to maintain a sense of mystery.
And every time Yu Linna sent flowers, she would specially change the place, not limited to one flower shop. Sometimes she was in Guangnan, sometimes in Shenzhen, sometimes in Hong Kong, and sometimes she would run to another province, and sometimes she would even fly to Beijing. She could go anywhere, but the flowers would not be interrupted. Once every two days, never changing.
…
She had heard that Luo Nan had recently confessed to Zhao Yuyan. Yu Linna was very envious. She thought of the time when she had been confessed to. At that time, Ye Zhiyun had also pursued her like this.
(“Nana, would you consider me?”)
(“I really like you.”)
(“Can you give me a reply, Nana?”)
And now…
She really wanted to hear Ye Zhiyun be gentle to her again, just once, just once.
Was she wrong again…
If she had understood the other party a little more, if she had been a little more obedient, not so stubborn, would things have been different? As expected, she should have been a little more obedient, right?
She wanted to call…
But she had to endure it.
Didn’t she say so at the beginning? If Ye Zhiyun didn’t call, she would absolutely not answer.
And after that, Yu Linna had indeed lived a life without her. She had ended her trip. When she returned to school, she was still doing what she should be doing, no different from before. She had deliberately acted as if she were the same as usual, and her smile was also the same as usual. But her roommates had all keenly discovered that this girl had a lot on her mind.
“Little Linna, I had a fight with my boyfriend.”
This day, Bai Ya had run to Yu Linna to cry and complain. It was originally a very normal thing. Bai Ya was usually careless and very mischievous. When she came to cry and complain, it was usually to complain that her boyfriend had not bought her anything. She was just looking for comfort. After a few days, she would be lovey-dovey with her boyfriend again.
“What happened? Didn’t you communicate well?”
Unexpectedly, Yu Linna did not dislike her as usual, but took the initiative to care about this matter. The other three in the dorm immediately noticed that something was wrong and quickly stopped what they were doing.
“Ying ying ying, he said I was disobedient and insisted on buying that dress. But I really like that dress. He’s so mean. He doesn’t dote on me. I’m not happy, ying ying ying.”
This was clearly being willful. No matter who it was, they would think so at the first moment.
But for a girl to act spoiled, to be unreasonable, and to do so in front of her boyfriend, it was usually because she wanted to get her boyfriend’s care. It was not that she really wanted her boyfriend to give her anything. She just simply wanted to hear some nice words from her boyfriend, to let her feel that you valued her.
Yu Linna understood this feeling very well.
She had also once hoped that Ye Zhiyun would value her like this. But they had too many misunderstandings, too many conflicts.
“Bai Ya, I think he still likes you very much. He just doesn’t know how to express it.”
“You understand again?”
“You, don’t you just want your boyfriend to dote on you a little more? Actually, you don’t have to have that dress, right? Even if he doesn’t buy it for you, it’s fine. You just simply want him to show that he cares about you a little more. If he had just said he would buy you something else, you would have been overjoyed, right?”
“What kind of person are you… you’re not the Shion-sensei I know…”
“Stop fooling around.”
Yu Linna knocked her on the head.
Until this moment, she seemed to be no different from usual.
Yes, that was indeed true.
“You guys, does Linna have something on her mind? I see she’s been unhappy all along.”
Xiao Yanhan had privately found Fang Jiangning and Lan Ranyan to talk about this matter. The three of them of course could see some clues, but they did not know the detailed situation. After all, they were just outsiders.
“Yanhan, didn’t that girl go to her girlfriend’s house for the New Year? Until that time, I didn’t think there was anything wrong. She even told me about this matter.”
“Yeah, I happened to run into her once during the New Year. Because my hometown is in Shanghai, and her girlfriend is also in Shanghai, I ran into her once. But it was only once. Later, I don’t know what happened, but not long after, she flew back from Shanghai. I even asked her if she wanted me to see her off at the airport, and she said no.”
Yu Linna, something must have happened. It was just that she didn’t say.
She was the same as before, liking to hide things and not letting people find out. Everyone wanted to help her, but she was never willing to let others into her world.
…
Just as Ye Zhiyun’s company was slowly turning around, the popular star, Zhu Yiqian, had found her and asked if she was interested in cooperating.
“Little sister Ye, I like you very much. I hear you’re planning to shoot a new movie recently. Do you want to cooperate?”
“Miss Zhu, I’m very happy that you can say so. But our esteemed company cannot satisfy your salary and your appearance fee. I think our cooperation cannot be realized at this stage. I hope to invite you again when I have the ability next time. I guarantee that next time, I will give you the remuneration you deserve at the market price.”
“Little sister Ye, you have a way with words, just like the official rhetoric. I don’t like it. As long as you want, I don’t even need money. There is only one condition: you have to have dinner with me every day.”
“…”
This Zhu Yiqian, was she trying to make a move on her?
Ye Zhiyun had heard long ago that Zhu Yiqian was a lesbian, who flirted with everyone in the circle, but there was no concrete evidence. But Ye Zhiyun did not dare to be careless.
The unspoken rules of the entertainment industry, she more or less understood.
“Miss Zhu, I still don’t have such a superficial idea. I will definitely give you what you deserve. I also know that there is no free lunch in this world.”
Heh, this girl is quite hard to deal with, very shrewd.
Zhu Yiqian became more and more interested.
What you can’t get is always the best.
“Little sister Ye, I can lower my salary to help you. Since with my net worth, I can’t enter your esteemed company, I naturally don’t have the ability to be the female lead. But a guest appearance should be fine, right? I can make a friendly guest appearance, and the remuneration can also be less. How about it? This condition is not bad, right?”
Hearing this, Ye Zhiyun was moved. She fell into a dilemma.
