Chapter 471: Rarely Disturbing
Returning to school with an umbrella, it was already night. Yu Linna also felt that this kind of weather was not suitable for going out and decided to just order takeout. Today’s life was the same as usual, working hard on her manuscript, working hard, and then contacting her lover when it was time. That was her plan.
The people who hadn’t seen her on the phone with her partner for a while were surprised to find that she had started to contact her partner today, and was even sending voice messages. Although they had argued, it seemed that they had started to make up again. This was also a very surprising thing for everyone.
Xiao Yanhan looked at Yu Linna chatting on WeChat in her seat, and was even using voice messages. Her heart was not in a good place. No matter how much time had passed, her heart had never let go, not even a single bit.
She went to the balcony alone to make a phone call, chatting with her answer.
At this time, Zhang Zijin was drawing in her own apartment. Suddenly, she received a phone call from Xiao Yanhan. Her heart was not happy, but she still answered.
“You stinky girl, I’ll give you one minute to explain clearly, otherwise you’ll be dead next weekend.”
“Ahem, that… Zijin, have you ever liked anyone?”
“What’s wrong? Are you looking for a fight?”
“No, no, no, no, that’s not it… I wanted to ask you, have you ever had the experience of liking someone you shouldn’t have? I, I now seem to… still can’t let go.”
“…Is it her again?”
“Mmm.”
Zhang Zijin was too lazy to say anything.
Perhaps this was the so-called simp.
She already has a partner, please. Why are you still unwilling to let go? What good would it do for you to do this? It was completely meaningless, wasn’t it?
Zhang Zijin sighed. This partner of hers was good at everything, just a little stubborn and would not easily give up.
This kind of personality, in a relationship, was actually quite fatal.
“Xiao Yanhan, it’s not good for you to be like this all the time. If you don’t let go, it means you can’t forget your past, which also means you can’t accept the future. It’s completely unnecessary, sister.”
“But I still like her. When I see her chatting with her partner, my heart still hurts. Every time I think, if the person she’s chatting with was me, that would be great.”
“But she’s not likely to like you either. You’d better give up sooner. Xiao Yanhan, your mind is very normal, not broken. I think you’d better not interfere too much with a person who has a partner.”
Xiao Yanhan put down her phone. She almost shed tears, but she held them back.
This feeling of liking, how could it be controlled just by saying so? What you can’t do is what you can’t do. If you could, it wouldn’t be so painful.
…
Yu Linna was chatting with Ye Zhiyun in her dorm, one sentence at a time, almost the same as in the past. It was just that there had been a little bit of a change.
“When can we meet again?”
Yu Linna put her ear to her phone and asked. Clearly, they had made a phone call.
“I’m very busy. I don’t have much time.”
“Mmm. Then I’ll wait until you’re free.”
“How have you been lately? The weather is a little cold.”
“It’s fine. I can take care of myself. But you, how’s your work? Is it going smoothly?”
“It’s slowly getting better. Recently…”
Ye Zhiyun’s side opened up the topic and talked about her own affairs, including some of the things she had encountered recently. Yu Linna was also willing to listen.
No matter what it was, as long as it was her voice, she was willing to listen to anything.
As for why they didn’t have a video call, Yu Linna had said that a phone call would be fine, and there was no need for a video call. People in a long-distance relationship originally had few chances to meet. Now, they didn’t even have a video call. It must be very hard for them to accept. But this theorem didn’t seem to work for them.
Yu Linna still wanted to see her. She had thought of many possibilities, but in the end, she still felt it was unrealistic. Jiaying Company was just starting out, after all, and many things needed Ye Zhiyun’s attention. It was impossible for Yu Linna to directly help. Jiaying Company was registered in Shanghai, and its headquarters was also there, which was a bit far from Guangnan. She wanted to go, but she still gave up.
She always felt that there was a thin film between her and Ye Zhiyun. She wanted to pierce through it, but found that she couldn’t move her hand at all.
She also didn’t know when it had appeared.
A long-distance relationship, for any couple, was a very hard thing. Two people who loved each other were in different cities, unable to be together day and night. After a long time, their feelings would slowly fade.
…
The next morning, when she was scrolling through the entertainment news, Yu Linna once again saw the news of Ye Zhiyun and Han Ying going to a bar. At this time, she was already immune. Or rather, numb.
Ye Zhiyun had also changed. She had become fond of drinking, fond of joining in the fun, and was also unwilling to tell her the truth anymore. Ye Zhiyun would say she was busy, but what was she doing? She was drinking with others, and was even photographed and put in the news.
Ye Zhiyun was reported as a public figure, saying that she had often gone out to drink with female stars, and had not brought the positive image that a public figure should have, and thus had been hotly discussed.
And Yu Linna, on the other hand, didn’t even have the thought of going to ask her.
She had no interest in knowing about her private life. After all, they were not in the same city.
On the contrary, it was Ye Zhiyun who had taken the initiative to call her.
“Nana.”
“Mmm. You talk.”
“I, I last night… last night it was because I had something on my mind, and was very troubled, very depressed. That’s why I went out to drink with Han Ying. I didn’t deliberately hide it from you.”
“I know. It’s not the first time you’ve gone out to drink with Han Ying. If you want to go, then go.”
“…Are you angry?”
“Not really. I don’t live on your side. I also have no right to interfere with your private life. You don’t have to report to me what you do when you go out in the future. If you want to go, then go. It’s not like I’m unreasonable.”
“No… I’m also here to apologize to you because I feel guilty. Don’t be like this…”
“I’m not angry. What are you doing? What are you thinking? Alright, I’m hanging up.”
Yu Linna did not plan to inquire about her private life.
They were dating, but she did not have to care about who she was playing with, what kind of people she was entertaining. These things, Yu Linna would not care, and was too lazy to care.
Ye Zhiyun was becoming more and more like a boy, having learned to lie to Yu Linna.
Yu Linna was becoming more and more like a mature girl, having learned to respect and tolerate, and also to understand.
People are constantly changing, and everyone is changing. Many people can no longer go back to the time when they first met. There is nothing to be done about it.
Even if they really want to meet, they will still try their best to endure.
“How are you and Zhiyun now?”
Fang Jiangning would occasionally ask about these things.
As the person who had known the two of them the earliest, Fang Jiangning had the deepest friendship with the two of them. She was always very concerned about their affairs. It was just that Yu Linna rarely talked to Fang Jiangning about her own affairs.
Fang Jiangning now also understood Yu Linna’s past and understood her hardships. No matter how bad it was before, at least now she hoped that she could find her own happiness.
“It’s alright.”
“What do you mean, ‘it’s alright’? Aren’t you two dating? Is this ‘it’s alright’?”
Yu Linna did not speak anymore.
They were indeed in a relationship. But Yu Linna, in order not to disturb Ye Zhiyun’s private life, rarely contacted her. To let her focus on her work, she had endured all the loneliness. Even if Ye Zhiyun had a scandal with someone outside, or was captured on camera playing with someone outside, she would not ask too many questions. Even if her own heart was dying to know, she still held it in.
If doing so was a good thing for Ye Zhiyun, she was also willing to accept it. She had to have the appearance of a girlfriend.
Fang Jiangning sighed. She still felt that Yu Linna was just giving in a one-sided way. What kind of relationship was this?
“I’m going to Shanghai this week for a competition commentary. I’ve signed a formal contract. In the future, I’ll be a professional competition commentator for LPL.”
“Congratulations.”
“Thank you. In the future, I might have to run to many cities, and it will be very tiring. This week I’m going to Shanghai. I’m going to see Zhiyun.”
Fang Jiangning said.
Yu Linna’s hand trembled. She wanted to say something, but she did not say it. Perhaps she had held it in.
“Is there anything you want me to bring over?”
“No, you can go.”
Yu Linna surely had a bunch of things she wanted to say, but she held them in. She didn’t want to say them. She especially didn’t want to bring any burden to Ye Zhiyun.
Fang Jiangning sighed lightly and didn’t say anything more.
…
At the same time, Ye Zhiyun in Shanghai had not received any messages from Yu Linna for a long time. Although they had kept in touch, they no longer contacted each other every day as in the past, but once every two or three days. Usually, Yu Linna’s messages were also just one or two sentences, unlike before when she would share everything with her.
This made Ye Zhiyun extremely unaccustomed.
She was still used to the Yu Linna of the past, who would send her messages every day. And Yu Linna really did not ask about her private life, did not care about her relationship with anyone. This was a place that made her very unaccustomed. Although her dear girlfriend not asking about her private matters had made her life more free, in fact, this kind of life was not good. Without the constraints, she felt uneasy instead.
Has her feelings for me faded? Sometimes Ye Zhiyun would have such an absurd thought.
Coincidentally, this week, Fang Jiangning had taken a plane to Shanghai. As a commentator who had officially signed a contract, in the future, she would be flying all over the country to be a commentator for professional team competitions. The current esports industry was so developed, and all kinds of professional leagues were constantly emerging. Fang Jiangning had chosen to be a commentator, a streamer, in such an era. In the future, Bilibili would also broadcast the professional league of LPL, and even the S-series. Fang Jiangning’s biggest wish was to be a commentator at the S-series finals and to personally witness the moment when the Chinese won the championship.
After arriving in Shanghai, Fang Jiangning had contacted Ye Zhiyun and had finally met the long-unseen Ye Zhiyun. The two old friends had exchanged a few pleasantries. Ye Zhiyun had said she would show her around the company.
“Isn’t that a bit too much? Linna hasn’t even been here. You’re giving me the first time?”
“It’s nothing. We’re all friends. It’s just a look. As for Nana’s, I’ll make it up to her next time.”
“This building is also quite expensive. The rent must be quite a lot.”
“It’s fine once you get used to it. As long as we don’t go bankrupt, she wants to buy it in the future.”
“Oh yo, as expected of you. This is the real Miss Ye.”
The two of them said some things, talking about some unimportant topics. In the end, Fang Jiangning sat down, wanting to ask about her and Linna.
“Zhiyun, you and Linna, how are you guys dating now?”
Ye Zhiyun’s hand trembled.
