Chapter 566: Sisters
During this period of time in America, for Yu Linna, there had been too many harvests, and also too many surprises. Before she had come, she had never thought that the super big star, Yu Xiayue, would actually be her biological older sister. Or rather, it was simply impossible to think in that direction. After all, they felt like people from different worlds. But the reality was that they did indeed have a blood relationship.
“Eh, but I really didn’t expect that she would actually be your younger sister. I was just saying how you guys look so alike.”
This day, Yu Linna had gone to Linda’s house with her biological older sister, Yu Xiayue. Before, Yu Linna had temporarily stayed here, so it was not unfamiliar. Today, Yu Xiayue had brought her over, besides to express her thanks, she also planned to formally introduce Yu Linna. After all, she was her own younger sister who had been separated for many years.
On the contrary, Lisara was sitting there, looking for half a day. Yu Linna was a little uncomfortable being stared at by her.
“Indeed, just from the side profile, many places are quite similar. For you to actually be Sister Lia’s younger sister is really beyond my expectations!”
“I also just found out recently…”
Yu Linna expressed her frustration.
In these short few months, too many things had happened. Just take Yu Linna herself, she had originally just come to America to look for a job, and then to start her new life. Who would have thought that by a fluke, she had actually found the family she had been looking for for so many years?
It could only be said that the world is unpredictable.
“I’m still very happy. After all, that’s my younger sister. She’s still alive and well. I’m really quite happy. It’s just that all the flowers I’ve sent over the years have been in vain. Our family was really screwed over by the police back then.”
Yu Xiayue pulled Yu Linna in front of her, patted her head, and showed a healing expression. Yu Linna was very helpless, but she did not resist.
“On the contrary, Belia, when you first told me that this child was your younger sister, I thought your brain had been fried. I didn’t expect it to actually be true.”
“That’s right. You were laughing all along before, and you never stopped. You always felt that I was lying to you.”
“I’s sorry. Didn’t I say? I’ve received professional training. No matter how funny it is, I won’t laugh, unless I can’t help it. I couldn’t help it.”
“Hmph, plastic sisters.”
Yu Xiayue and Linda had laughed and joked for a while, and then the two of them had been thinking if they should make some dinner. And so the two of them had discussed it and had decided to cook themselves.
Yu Linna had originally wanted to say that she would help, but was stopped by Yu Xiayue.
“Here, the younger sister is responsible for waiting to eat. The older sister will do the cooking.”
“Is it really okay to speak from the position of an older sister at this time…”
“It’s fine. I haven’t been an older sister for many years! Today I can be a qualified older sister once. Don’t look at me like this. Mom has still taught me a lot. You can rest assured!”
Although she didn’t want to discourage Yu Xiayue, looking at her enthusiastic appearance, she always felt that she was very unreliable.
After all, Yu Linna had indeed never seen her enter a kitchen. Before, when she had come to Guangnan, the two of them had lived together for a period of time. At that time, Yu Xiayue had not cooked at all, and had only known how to make instant noodles, and nothing else.
Could she really do it?
Yu Linna had secretly followed her. Coincidentally, Lisara had also followed. The two of them had poked their small heads out of the kitchen doorway, watching the two “older sister” identity girls, fiddling with things in the kitchen.
“I know this! Let me fry it!”
“Wait, my dear! What are you trying to do! Stop! This is not making dinner at all! Are you trying to blow up my kitchen!”
“Heave-ho!”
“Belia!”
Yu Linna had already closed her eyes.
A moment later, Yu Xiayue had a sad look on her face, and her face had also been blackened. She had been driven out of the kitchen, and was sobbing there by herself. As expected, to make dinner seemed to be too difficult for her. It also had a lot to do with the fact that she only knew how to eat and not how to cook. After all, when she was at home, the servants would cook delicious food, and her mom would also cook. And she was also a young miss. After a long time, she had also gotten used to this kind of life.
She was a real young miss.
Helpless, Yu Linna had entered the kitchen herself and had gone to help Linda. Although she did not know much about American dinner, she had taken this opportunity to learn about American dinner. In the future, when she returned to her home country, she might be able to entertain her friends.
“So capable. Your cooking technique looks very skilled. It seems you’ve done it a lot.”
Linda, seeing her do it so well, completely different from her older sister, couldn’t help but praise her.
Yu Linna was a little embarrassed to be praised and could only laugh and say that it was nothing.
“I’m used to it. It’s no big deal. But an American dinner is really quite complicated, completely different from Chinese food.”
“You rarely do it. It’s normal not to be used to it. I can just do the steak and such. You probably aren’t very used to doing these kinds of meat, right? I hear that China doesn’t seem to be very used to eating meat other than well-done.”
“That’s no problem. I can get used to it. As long as it’s not eating raw fish or something, I feel I can accept it…”
Yu Linna seemed to be still able to accept it in terms of eating. Perhaps it was because she also had American blood in her bones. To eat these not-so-cooked meats, she felt that she could still eat them. Of course, it also had to do with her life in her early years. Before, when she was poor, where would she have cared if the meat was cooked or not? It was already good to be able to eat. After a long time, she had also discovered that she would not be unaccustomed to eating it.
“Your English name is… Ivana, right? I heard it from your older sister.”
“Yes, although no one has ever called me that, it was given to me by my parents after all.”
“Can I call you that?”
“Of course you can… but you can call me Nana. Those who are close to me all call me that.”
“Then I’ll call you that. Nana, what do you think of Belia, your older sister?”
The two of them were cooking and chatting at the same time. Linda had also talked about Yu Xiayue.
“She’s a very good person. I also like her very much. Before, when I still didn’t know she was my older sister, our relationship was still quite good. Although it’s quite surprising to know recently that she is actually my older sister, I actually think that this is also not bad. To have an extra family member, I’m still very happy.”
“She has also said the same thing to me. She said that she was really very happy to learn that you were still alive. She has always been very guilty. She has told me that when you were little, you had gone missing when you were at the theater with your mother and older sister. She has always felt that that was her own responsibility. So when she had found you, she had really felt very happy. She said she would properly compensate you.”
Linda said with a smile.
After knowing Yu Xiayue for so long, she had rarely seen her have such a time. All along, she had given people a very optimistic, very cheerful image. When she had seen Yu Xiayue show such an expression, and had said that she wanted to do something for her own family, Linda had indeed been startled.
But she also understood. If their family had not experienced those things, perhaps they would be even happier now. They had fallen into a slump because of Yu Linna, and had also pulled themselves together again because of Yu Linna.
“I’m serious. I’ve never wanted anyone to compensate me, nor have I ever resented anyone. All these years have passed, and I’ve grown up so much. What I should have resented, what I should have complained about, I’ve already complained about it all. Compared to those boring complaints, what I’m more happy about is that I finally have a family. So no one has ever owed me anything. On the contrary, to be able to be given such a good gift, I should be even more happy.”
Hearing this, Linda was so moved she cried.
“You are such a good child, so kind, and so cute. You are simply an angel. Such a good child. If anyone bullies you, it is simply unforgivable! If you have any difficulties, you must find me!”
“Ahaha, alright…”
For some reason, she felt as if she had gotten herself into a remarkable trouble. Yu Linna silently hid this sentence in her heart.
Yu Xiayue was eavesdropping at the door, moved to tears. The tissues in her hand were constantly being pulled out. Soon, a whole pack of tissues was finished. The floor was covered in used tissue balls.
“Wuwuwu, I’m so moved I’m crying. My younger sister, who on earth abducted you? What a beast! I will get justice for you!”
Lisara was watching her from the side and couldn’t help but wipe away some sweat. The floor was covered in tissue balls, and this person was still constantly using tissues. If she didn’t clean up, she would be scolded when her older sister came out, right? Mmm, she definitely would.
Lisara silently picked up a broom and started to clean. As for this person who was eavesdropping on the side and was still crying, Lisara hoped that she would not use any more tissues.
…
Yu Linna had had dinner at Linda’s house. A Western-style dinner was still relatively difficult for her to make, after all, she had made it less often. But after she had seriously made it, it was still quite good. Linda had also praised her for her strong learning ability. Eating a taste that was completely different from Chinese food, Yu Linna felt that this taste was also not bad.
She could also eat lettuce and thick soup, and although the meat had blood streaks, she could also eat it, and did not feel unaccustomed to it. This one Western meal was quite good. There was also dessert after the meal. What a rich life.
“Nana, your birthday is coming soon. Is there any gift you want? I want to give you the first gift.”
After dinner, Yu Xiayue had also talked to her about this. Yu Linna held her chin and thought for a while. She had never had a birthday before, and she had no experience in this aspect.
“It’s the thought that counts~ I’m not picky about this. Compared to that, this is my first time celebrating a birthday. What should I prepare?”
“You just have to be ready to be the protagonist.”
The two sisters smiled, and then they were squeezed into Linda’s house, playing video games with her younger sister. Lisara was pestering Yu Linna to play with her, saying that she wanted to get her revenge. This night, the two sisters had stayed here for the night.
Yu Xiayue had wanted to persuade Yu Linna to go home, but Yu Linna was not yet mentally prepared. Yu Xiayue could only wait. If she had been willing to come back at the very beginning, Yu Xiayue also felt it was not very likely. There always had to be a process.
Counting carefully, Yu Linna’s birthday was also coming soon. This was the first birthday she had ever had in her life.
…
At the same time, in a certain place in Shanghai.
“Ah, so tired~”
Ye Zhiyun sat down on her office chair. She didn’t even want to drink tea. She just wanted to sit. A whole day of work was really quite tiring. She had almost suffocated.
After a short break, she had taken out the gift box she had hidden in her drawer and had smiled. Then she had picked up her phone, had dialed a number, and while waiting for the call to connect, she had also held her breath.
“Hello, um, the ticket… is it booked?”
“It’s booked. But let me say this first: you have to come back on the same day, you know?”
“Mmm, okay. I understand.”
Turning off her phone, leaning against her chair, Ye Zhiyun felt that the tiredness of these few days was also worth it. In any case, she had to try to go over once.
