Chapter 330: Bewilderment
The day after Xiao Yanhan’s confession, she still hadn’t been able to get out of her shadow and didn’t know how to answer her. So she just held it in, waiting until she had an answer. Didn’t Xiao Yanhan also say she could wait?
Actually, Xiao Yanhan’s true inner thoughts were…
“Ahhhhhh, why did I say I could wait for her? What was I trying to be cool for? I really want to know the answer now. Can’t she answer me today, ahhhhh!!!”
It was very true to life.
Xiao Yanhan really wanted to know if Yu Linna would agree to her. Just this.
Besides, after Lan Ranyan’s father came home, Lan Ranyan was very unhappy. She seemed to really dislike her old dad coming back. But that was to be expected. The place she most wanted to go to, she couldn’t go, and it was her closest family who had stopped her. Anyone in her shoes would not feel good.
Today, Lan Ranyan took them to a famous scenic spot in Beijing, the Great Wall. She figured they hadn’t been to this place before, so she took them to play today.
After what had happened yesterday, Yu Linna didn’t have the courage to face Xiao Yanhan. She took the initiative to be with Lan Ranyan, heartlessly leaving Xiao Yanhan behind, which made Xiao Yanhan very sullen. And when they were visiting the scenic spot, she deliberately pulled Lan Ranyan a little further away, which made Xiao Yanhan even more unhappy.
“Is it necessary to hide from her like this? It’s not like you don’t know her feelings for you.”
Lan Ranyan said faintly.
Of course she knew!
She just didn’t dare to face it!
She was too much of a coward!
For her to face Xiao Yanhan calmly as she usually did, she simply couldn’t do it! It was too difficult.
“I will face her properly. But before that, please allow me to be a coward.”
“Just like the last time you didn’t dare to confess to Xiao Yanhan that you were Shion-sensei.”
Lan Ranyan was too lazy to roast her anymore. They had lived together for a year. What she should have known, she already knew long ago. At certain times, Yu Linna was really very cowardly, extremely cowardly.
“But,” Lan Ranyan chose her words, thinking about how to start.
“You actually have someone you like, right?”
“Huh? Why do you say that?”
“Last time, the hickey on your neck, do you still remember?”
For a moment, Yu Linna was a little dazed. She tried hard to remember and suddenly recalled the band-aid on her neck when she had returned to the dorm. Her face instantly flushed.
“That, oh, I was bitten by a mosquito…”
“I’m not a fool. How could I not know? That was planted by someone, right?”
“Mmm…”
Yu Linna was so ashamed she couldn’t even show her face. Why would this person know! Logically speaking, she shouldn’t have found out. She doesn’t even have a boyfriend!
This is impossible. I clearly hid it very well.
“It seems I was right.”
“Mmm… big, big sister, I, please, I’ll buy you a cake.”
“Oh, that’s no problem. I wasn’t planning on saying anything anyway. But are you really not going to confess? Actually, your heart is with someone else, right? And that person is not Xiao Yanhan.”
Lan Ranyan silently turned her head and glanced at the smiling Xiao Yanhan. She was taking a selfie with Fang Jiangning with a selfie stick. The thought that the person this girl loved was not her made her silently feel sad for her.
“This… I don’t know… to be honest, I’m not sure if I like her.”
Yu Linna pinched the corner of her clothes, her head down, her face as red as a tomato.
What kind of feelings did she have for Ye Zhiyun? To be honest, she still didn’t know, and she wasn’t clear. Besides not disliking her, there seemed to be something deeper. This she was not clear about. If she knew, that would be great.
Lan Ranyan was not in a hurry, nor did she plan to add fuel to the fire. Just as she had said, the person who made the decision was Yu Linna herself. If Yu Linna didn’t like Xiao Yanhan, then it only meant that they were not fated to be together. If Yu Linna’s heart was really with someone else, then naturally, there was nothing for Xiao Yanhan.
But this was also good. Lan Ranyan suddenly felt a sense of relief.
At this time, Xiao Yanhan rushed up angrily and hugged Yu Linna’s arm. Looking at her, she seemed very angry.
“Yanhan, what’s wrong? Why are you making that face?”
“I’m a little unhappy. Let’s go, I’ll treat you to something delicious. Look over there, selling snacks. Let’s go.”
With that, Xiao Yanhan dragged her to buy food, regardless of her objections.
In fact, Xiao Yanhan was unhappy when she saw Yu Linna talking to Lan Ranyan. When she saw Yu Linna seem to have said something to her, her head lowered, her face flushed, and she was stuttering, her jealousy flared up. She didn’t care anymore. No matter what, she had to snatch her over first.
Lan Ranyan was both amused and annoyed. What is this person doing? It’s not like anyone is competing with her.
But Xiao Yanhan had indeed won the opportunity to be with Yu Linna. She could finally play with her. She could go and buy delicious food to tempt her, to be a little nicer to her.
Fang Jiangning could only smile wryly at this. Her best friend was about to become a couple with her roommate. This feeling was really strange. She really couldn’t think of a good adjective. In the future, at high school reunions, how on earth was she going to tell others about Yu Linna’s love life?
Xiao Yanhan was hugging her arm, enjoying the sweet moment. Now that things had come to this, she would not let go. She had to hold on tight and not let go. It would be great if she had the chance to go to a hot spring like last time, to soak in a hot spring with her and look at each other’s bodies. But if she went too far, Yu Linna would get angry. Thinking of this, Xiao Yanhan felt a little frustrated, but for Yu Linna, she could only endure.
…
“Excuse me, little sister. Can you help me take a picture?”
Suddenly, hearing a clearly very stiff Chinese, Yu Linna looked up. It was a foreign young lady.
This foreign girl was tall and slender, with a prominent bust, red hair, a sun hat, and a pair of sunglasses. But you could still tell that she was a very beautiful young lady. Could she be a star? Yu Linna thought so.
“Of course. Actually, my English is pretty good. you can speak English with me.”
“Really? That’s great! I was just worrying about that. Thank you so much, little sister.”
The young lady switched to English, and her speaking speed was obviously much more fluent. Yu Linna pushed Xiao Yanhan away, took her phone, and helped her take a picture.
“Are you here for a trip, little sister? I’m from America.”
“I guess you could say it’s a trip, with friends.”
“Are you American too?”
“I’m Chinese.”
“I see. You’re mixed-race. You’re so cute.”
“Thank you.”
Xiao Yanhan looked at their conversation in a daze. Although her English was not bad either, it was still too difficult to communicate fluently with a foreigner. Their speaking speed was too fast. She couldn’t understand at all. At this time, she had to admire Yu Linna’s oral ability. Her English ability was really amazing.
But thinking about her mixed-race identity, it didn’t seem strange. After all, she also had foreign blood flowing in her.
“My name is Toni. I’m currently a new screenwriter, writing movie scripts.”
This young lady was quite beautiful when she took off her sunglasses. She was a great beauty at a glance. Yu Linna found her very pleasing to the eye. Such a great beauty, it would be great if she could see her every day.
“My name is Yu Linna. I’m still in university, out here for the summer vacation.”
“I see. So it’s summer vacation in China at this time. You can come to America to play when you’re free. There are a lot of fun things in America. Of course, you can find me. I’ll show you around. If possible, I’ll leave you my contact information.”
“No need, thank you.”
This American young lady is really enthusiastic, Yu Linna thought.
She took her phone and helped her take many photos. Although the effect was not bad, she still felt it was too rough. If Ye Zhiyun were to take it, it would definitely be much better.
“Sister Toni, what other kind of photo do you want?”
“Let me think. A side profile would be good.”
“Okay.”
She took a few more pictures. Toni also smiled a lot. She was really starting to like this pleasing little girl more and more.
Looking at this little girl fiddling with her phone, a serious expression on her cute little face, she wanted to laugh.
Looking and looking, this little girl’s face seemed a little…
“Little sister Nana, have we met somewhere before?”
Out of nowhere, Toni suddenly asked this. She regretted it as soon as she said it.
“I don’t think so. I remember this is the first time we’ve met. Maybe I just look a bit like someone you know.”
Fortunately, Yu Linna didn’t take it as a big deal and just laughed it off.
Toni looked at her face again and still felt a sense of incongruity. Why do I always feel like I’ve seen her somewhere? It’s so strange. It’s clearly the first time we’ve met.
“Can I take a picture of you?”
“Huh? Oh, no problem. Go ahead.”
She returned the phone to her, struck a pose, and showed a natural smile. Click. Toni took a picture of her smiling at the Great Wall.
“Thank you. I hope we can meet again in the future.”
“Alright.”
Yu Linna smiled, then went back to Xiao Yanhan’s side. That petite back gradually grew distant, slowly walking away. She saw that the little girl was with her few friends, walking towards a farther place. But for some reason, Toni didn’t want her to go so far. She wanted to see a little more.
This little girl really looked like someone she had seen before, but she didn’t know where.
For some reason, she felt a sense of familiarity.
So strange. She remembered that she shouldn’t have seen her anywhere before. The name Yu Linna was not a very famous name, just a very ordinary Chinese name. Even though she was mixed-race, she had never been to China before today.
So strange.
That’s right, her appearance…
“She looks a lot like the young Yueyue…” she murmured.
Perhaps she had seen wrong. It was also possible that she was being too sensitive. Was there really such a coincidence in this world? Besides, wasn’t Yueyue still filming in Africa? Why would she think of her at this time? She was being too sensitive. It must be because she hadn’t slept well. Toni thought so.
She saved the photo she had taken of Yu Linna in her photo album and continued to tour the Great Wall, taking pictures for souvenirs, and also to find her stranded companion.
And after Yu Linna had had enough fun for the day, she took Lan Ranyan’s car back. She naturally wouldn’t remember this young lady named Toni. After playing for a day, besides the annoying Xiao Yanhan, everything else was not bad. Besides having to face the slightly awkward Lan family father and daughter after she went back, everything was fine.
