Chapter 333: A Double Dose of Happiness
What Xiao Yanhan’s family did, she had known for a long time. According to her, her old dad was a manga artist, a very famous one at that, but he had a partner and didn’t draw by himself. Her father was in charge of the art, and his partner was in charge of the script. The two of them created together, leaving their names in the manga world. They were still active even now, with no intention of retiring at all.
But since her father was such an amazing manga artist, how could Xiao Yanhan be so bad, unable to even draw a decent long-form manga?
This, Yu Linna could understand. After all, not many people really followed in their father’s footsteps and could even do better than their father. Just like how Beckham’s son could never become a second Beckham, it was the same principle.
“Your home is quite low-key.”
Perhaps because she had seen Lan Ranyan’s exaggerated rich person’s villa, looking back at Xiao Yanhan’s home now, it actually felt quite normal. Xiao Yanhan’s home was in a high-end apartment, a bona fide rich person’s district, and… this entire building belonged to her family.
To this, Yu Linna really wanted to say, Don’t ever say I’m the richest person again. The small house I live in doesn’t even have an air conditioner.
“Yanhan, although you said you wanted us to be guests at your home, are you sure this is your home and not your family’s house?”
“Jiangning, that’s too much! Am I that kind of person? This really is my home!”
“Oh ho?”
“…My villa is in the countryside.”
“So you really do have one…”
You evil capitalists.
Fang Jiangning silently indicated that you are all big shots, one and two are both so rich. Only she and Yu Linna were normal people.
“Yan, you’re back? Oh, your friends?”
Mama Xiao opened the door, saw Yu Linna and Fang Jiangning, and smiled.
“Hello, Auntie.”
Yu Linna and Fang Jiangning greeted her politely.
“Hello, come in. Yanhan, you didn’t bring back dirty clothes to wash, did you?”
“I’m not that kind of person anymore, okay!”
Liu Xixi looked at her own daughter. This child was still not mature enough. Although she was already an adult, she was still not reassuring.
In comparison, her two friends were unexpectedly well-behaved. She had thought they would be like her. Especially that little blonde girl. If Xiao Yanhan hadn’t said in advance that she was her roommate, she would have thought that Xiao Yanhan had just picked up a child from the street.
Because it was only agreed that they would have dinner at her house, they wouldn’t be staying the night, so naturally it was impossible to prepare rooms or anything. Xiao Yanhan had tried hard to beg them to stay (mainly to get close to Linna), but Yu Linna had refused. She still didn’t know that this girl was up to no good. She would absolutely not be staying the night. Let Xiao Yanhan go and dream.
Xiao Yanhan’s room was very girly, with pink wallpaper, and a few posters of Shion-sensei’s works on it. On her desk were also the manga drafts she had left before she went to school. Yu Linna could also find Shion-sensei’s works on her bookshelf. This girl really liked her works. A proper number one female fan of Shion-sensei, and according to her, before she went to university, she had always thought of Shion-sensei as a mature literary youth.
“Shion-sensei, aren’t you very moved, very happy?”
Xiao Yanhan winked at Yu Linna, came up and pressed against her, smiling with ill intentions.
“Mmm, I’m quite moved,” Yu Linna said perfunctorily.
“Then are you so moved that you want to marry me?”
“Get lost.”
“Where are you rolling to? Are you rolling to bed, or rolling into my embrace?”
“Go away!”
Yu Linna was angry from embarrassment and pushed her away. Dammit, this little girl is getting bolder and bolder, developing in the direction of a hentai. Dammit, she wasn’t like this before.
Fang Jiangning held her face, squinting her eyes, and watched this scene with a smile. Mmm, occasionally watching others play yuri seemed to be not bad.
In order not to disturb them, Fang Jiangning said she wanted to go out to the living room to watch TV and left the room. Now Xiao Yanhan was happy. A room with just the two of them, how could she be so happy!
“Hehe, Shion-sensei…”
“If you dare to touch a single finger on me, we’ll break up immediately.”
“Eh! How can you be like this!!”
Xiao Yanhan cried.
She had finally gotten a chance to be alone. She had wanted to use this to get intimate with her. But she had gone and directly forbidden her from having physical contact with her. How could she play like this! It was too painful to just be able to look at the meat but not eat it! She wasn’t a monk.
But…
She didn’t want to break up with her.
Wuwuwu, this Yu Linna, knowing she can’t beat her, actually came up with such a despicable method.
Now Yu Linna was satisfied. She had wanted to do this for a long time. This little girl was always trying to touch her. Now let’s see how she would play.
Taking this opportunity, she borrowed a few manga books from Xiao Yanhan to read. Putting other things aside, Xiao Yanhan had quite a lot of manga. And Xiao Yanhan was bored to death. She moved to the side of the bed, a little closer to Yu Linna.
“This manga is a collector’s edition, a unique Taiwanese version. It’s no longer in print. If you want it, I can give it to you. If you date me, everything here will be yours.”
“I’d rather just borrow it to read.”
Dammit, she’s not shy at all, nor does she blush. What’s the point of me teasing her then? Xiao Yanhan was so angry she could die.
Could it be that this person really has no feelings for her at all? That can’t be. Shion-sensei can’t possibly not like her at all!
“By the way, Shion-sensei, haven’t you thought of adding a bookshelf in your home? Although the place you live in is a bit small, a small bookshelf should be able to fit, right?”
“Well, I didn’t buy one because I thought it would be too troublesome and would take up space.”
“Alright then. You should at least install an air conditioner, right? It will be very hot without one on a hot day.”
“Because installing an air conditioner is very expensive, and I have to pay a lot more for electricity every month.”
“Please, you’re so rich now. You’re not short of this little bit of money. Be a good girl and install an air conditioner.”
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense. Yu Linna should have installed an air conditioner long ago. At first, it was just because she was used to living a poor life, so she didn’t install one. But now, after living in the school dorm for a year, she would always turn on the air conditioner in the summer. She was also used to it. It seemed that it was about time to install an air conditioner at home.
I’ll have someone come and install an air conditioner tomorrow, Yu Linna thought so.
“More importantly, I have to work hard when I get back tonight.”
“Work again? You worked every night when you were at Ranran’s house. When can you give yourself a break? Don’t you feel very tired?”
“I don’t. But why do you think that slacking off is a matter of course, Yan Yu-sensei?”
Yu Linna specially emphasized the four words “Yan Yu-sensei.” This seemed to make Xiao Yanhan very embarrassed. Calling her that, she was too embarrassed to be lazy!
“Shion-sensei, you will lose me if you are like this.”
“Oh, is that so? Yan Yu-sensei, have you finished drawing your manga?”
“Wuwuwu, can’t you just let me have a break? It’s not even the deadline yet. The manga the editor asked me to draw is already half done.”
Yu Linna quietly looked at her, vaguely seeing the feeling of a second Zhao Yuyan. Hopefully, she wouldn’t become such a useless person.
“Achoo!”
Zhao Yuyan, who was playing a game at home far away, sneezed for no reason. She wondered if she had a cold, but her air conditioning wasn’t very cold. What on earth was going on?
…
Liu Xixi had finished cooking and called the three of them over to eat. Because Xiao Yanhan’s father was very busy every day and had to work outside, she hadn’t seen him today either. In the past, Xiao Yanhan had only eaten with her mother. This time, she had brought two friends back to eat. Her mother seemed to be quite happy too.
“Yanhan, you brought a friend named Ranyan last time. That child is also from your dorm, right? My daughter is not very accomplished. Thank you all for taking care of her.”
“Not at all, not at all. You’re too polite.”
Yu Linna was very nervous and repeatedly said that she was being too polite. She was not good at dealing with elders, and her behavior was also very clumsy, all because she had too little experience. In comparison, Fang Jiangning was much more natural. Besides smiling, she could also take the initiative to chat with Liu Xixi and find topics.
Yu Linna felt tired of her own clumsiness. It would be great if I could be as natural as Fang Jiangning.
“By the way,” Liu Xixi suddenly said to Yu Linna.
“I heard from my unaccomplished daughter that you seem to be her idol. Is that true, Shion-sensei?”
Liu Xixi stared at her with a half-smile.
“This… ahem, it’s me, that’s right. But that’s my pen name. Please don’t call me that.”
“Haha, don’t be so reserved. I won’t eat you. Don’t worry, Little Linna. You’re so cute. How could I be rude to you? My daughter seems to like you very much. She even said she wants to take you as her role model.”
“She’s joking. Please don’t take it seriously.”
“Hey, is it necessary to diss me like that!” Xiao Yanhan added from behind.
Dinner was finished in a happy time. After eating, Yu Linna took the initiative to help Liu Xixi wash the dishes, which surprised the old lady. But looking at Yu Linna’s skilled dishwashing movements, she thought that this child must have done a lot of housework at home.
“Little Linna, you’re very well-behaved. You’re much better than my daughter. Are you interested in being my daughter?”
“Haha, I, Yanhan would mind…”
“Just kidding. You’re really cute.”
Liu Xixi quite liked this child. She was cute enough, like a doll, and she could also do housework. In comparison, her own daughter, Xiao Yanhan, was lazy and useless. Besides drawing manga in her room, she couldn’t do anything else, and she wasn’t well-behaved either.
After dinner, they stayed for a while. When it was about time, Fang Jiangning and Yu Linna had to go home. Xiao Yanhan went to see them off until they got on the bus.
“Linna, when will you reply to me?”
As her front foot stepped onto the bus door, Xiao Yanhan asked from behind.
“I’ll think about it for a while.”
After saying this, Yu Linna got on the bus. It was absolutely impossible for her to answer now. It was better to talk about it later. For her to answer her confession was quite difficult. The bus started, and Xiao Yanhan’s figure also gradually became blurry.
“Linna, you’re so cowardly.”
Fang Jiangning looked at her with contempt.
“Mmm, what can I do…”
“It’s not good to keep her hanging. Find a time to make it clear.”
“Mmm, I think I will.”
“That’s good. By the way, Linna, you haven’t been to my house in a long time. Do you want to come over and stay the night?”
“…”
Yu Linna scratched her head. It seemed that something remarkable had happened again. But it had indeed been a long time since she had been to her house. Should she consider it?
