Chapter 342: Who Allowed You to Sit?
Xiao Yanhan was very sad and heartbroken. It was the first time she had tasted such a painful memory. It really hurt, like a knife being stabbed into her heart, so painful that she couldn’t even make a sound. It turned out that liking someone could be so painful, so painful that she couldn’t breathe, especially when she knew that the person she liked was not her own.
It really hurt.
Yu Linna hesitated for a moment, but still decided to hug her, although she didn’t know if doing so could comfort her.
I’m probably a scumbag girl, right?
Leading her on, and then going off to be affectionate with another woman. She was definitely a 100% scumbag girl. For this, she had nothing to explain. What was done was done. At this point, she didn’t want to deny anything.
“I’m sorry, Yanhan. I should have replied to you sooner.”
Xiao Yanhan wanted to push her away, but she couldn’t bear to leave her embrace, to leave this warmth.
This damn Yu Linna, why is her embrace so warm? She’s already done this kind of thing, yet I can’t be angry with her.
That’s right, actually, Xiao Yanhan is angry with herself.
She was just envious of others, envious of the person who could have Yu Linna’s embrace. She was really envious. Why wasn’t that person her?
“It’s too much, too much. The one who made me like this is clearly you, but I don’t want to hate you at all. I still like you. Can’t you just give me a little of your love for others, even if it’s just a little?”
She rested her head on her chest, her helpless words revealing her sadness. At this point, she didn’t want to care about anything anymore. She just wanted to have the remaining time with her.
She liked Yu Linna, but Yu Linna’s heart was not with her.
“Yanhan, it’s not that kind of relationship between her and me…”
“Then do you like her?”
“…I don’t know.”
Xiao Yanhan smiled wryly.
When Yu Linna said “I don’t know,” it meant that her heart still leaned a little towards the other party.
“Then what about me? Do you like me?”
Xiao Yanhan looked at her with hopeful eyes. She longed for her to be able to give the same answer. If she said she didn’t know, Xiao Yanhan would immediately pull herself together, because that would mean there was still a sliver of hope.
“I see you as my friend.”
But Yu Linna unhesitatingly chose the most truthful answer.
In her heart, she couldn’t see Xiao Yanhan as a romantic partner, and it was impossible. Because she just didn’t have that kind of feeling for her.
It wasn’t because Xiao Yanhan hadn’t given her anything, but simply that she couldn’t fall in love with her.
“Linna…”
She leaned against her chest, feeling defeated.
A month, she had waited a month for a reply, and this was what she got. Perhaps this was fate.
They couldn’t be together, and were destined to only be friends. Even if she wanted to have a special relationship with her, it was impossible.
“Wuwuwu…”
Xiao Yanhan cried.
So this is what it’s like to be heartbroken? Her heart felt as if it had been cut open with a knife. It hurt so much. She was really unwilling. She really wanted to be with Yu Linna, wanted to have time with her. She really liked her so much. She wanted her to be her girlfriend so much.
But that was impossible.
“Yanhan…”
Yu Linna didn’t know how to comfort her and could only hug her and pat her head.
She had finally said the words of rejection. Just as she had thought, Xiao Yanhan cried very sadly. It was no wonder. After all, she liked her so much.
Doing this might hurt her, but it was much better than not saying anything. She didn’t want to lead her on anymore.
Yu Linna felt more and more like a scumbag girl.
She had attracted too many women.
…
It was very late when Yu Linna returned to the hotel. She waited until Xiao Yanhan’s eyes were red from crying and sent her away before going back. She didn’t ask Xiao Yanhan why she was in Shenzhen. But her home was not far from Shenzhen, so it wasn’t strange for her to appear here. Maybe she was here to submit a manuscript or something. Anyway, Yu Linna didn’t ask.
It was already 11 o’clock when she returned to the hotel. Ye Zhiyun had already taken a shower and was waiting for her in the hotel room. The crew’s hotel was located here, but Ye Zhiyun was the director, so she had a single room. Because of Yu Linna’s arrival, she had changed the single room to a double room, just to be with Yu Linna.
But she was very unhappy tonight.
“Zhiyun…”
Yu Linna timidly opened the room door, feeling a sense of panic for some reason.
“Mmm, you’re back. Go take a shower.”
Ye Zhiyun looked quite calm, biting into a potato chip, drinking tea, and still watching the evening news.
She didn’t seem to have anything wrong.
But Yu Linna knew that this person was definitely angry. How could the usual Ye Zhiyun be eating snacks in the middle of the night? Was she not afraid of getting fat? And she was even watching the news. With Ye Zhiyun’s personality, how could she possibly watch the evening news? Even if she wanted to watch the news, she would watch the news broadcast or the morning news. She had never seen her watch the evening news.
She was definitely angry.
“What, you’re not going to take a shower?”
Ye Zhiyun asked calmly.
“I, that… that person is my roommate, from the same dorm.”
“So you live together, right?”
“Mmm.”
“I see.”
And then there was nothing more.
Ye Zhiyun continued to munch on her potato chips.
Yu Linna sat upright, silently sitting on the bed opposite Ye Zhiyun.
“Who allowed you to sit?”
Ye Zhiyun raised an eyebrow, a look of displeasure on her face.
“Eh… you’re not letting me sit…”
Yu Linna was stunned.
“Hmm?”
“Nothing. I’ll just stand.”
Yu Linna obediently stood up, her hands in front of her, not daring to say a word. And Ye Zhiyun continued to eat her potato chips, not speaking either.
The two of them remained in silence like this.
It wasn’t until Ye Zhiyun had almost finished her potato chips that she sized up Yu Linna. Seeing her obedient and well-behaved appearance, it was quite funny. But Ye Zhiyun was still not happy.
“Your girlfriend?”
“No, no. Just a roommate from the same dorm.”
“Then why did you chase after her?”
“…”
“She likes you?”
“I’ve already replied to her. I said I only see her as a friend and can’t date her.”
Ah, why was she telling Ye Zhiyun this? It was as if she were afraid she would misunderstand something. And she didn’t have to tell her this. It had nothing to do with her. Why did she have to explain? Why was she in such a hurry? Yu Linna’s mind was racing.
Hearing her say this, Ye Zhiyun’s furrowed brow finally relaxed a little, but that didn’t mean she had let go of her anger.
“When did this happen?”
“Huh?”
“I’m asking you a question. Answer.”
“Eh, this… a month ago, the confession. I just rejected her.”
“Heh, you actually dragged it on for so long. You’re quite capable.”
Ye Zhiyun stood up, pinched Yu Linna’s chin, and glared at her with a sharp gaze. Yu Linna immediately felt afraid. Ye Zhiyun pinched her chin, looking down at her, as if she would eat her at any moment.
“Zhiyun…”
“What, you still want to say something?”
“…She and I are really just friends. It’s as simple as that.”
“Then why didn’t you make it clear a month ago?”
“I, I… I, I was afraid…”
“Hmph.”
Ye Zhiyun was really unhappy.
She hadn’t even confessed yet, and someone had already beaten her to it. The most infuriating thing was that Yu Linna had actually dragged her on for a month without replying, being ambiguous with her. Ye Zhiyun was so angry. Although she and she were not in that kind of relationship yet, she was still angry. It was as if her own woman was messing around outside. It was pissing her off.
“Kneel.”
“Eh?”
“What ‘eh’? Kneel. You’re not allowed to get up without my command.”
“Zhi-Zhiyun…”
“No acting spoiled.”
“…Yes.”
Yu Linna obediently knelt on the ground, not daring to say a word, her head lowered, almost about to cry.
Ye Zhiyun looked down at her from a commanding height. Today, she would definitely not allow her to sleep on the bed. She had to punish her properly. Really, give her an inch and she’ll take a yard. She had been so good to her, yet she had come back with a green hat. Ye Zhiyun felt as disgusted as if she had eaten a fly. She was really angry.
No matter what, she had to punish her properly.
Although that’s what she said, Ye Zhiyun also knew that she and Yu Linna were not in that kind of relationship yet. Even if she wanted to punish her, she had no proper reason. It was just that she was sulking by herself. And Yu Linna was obediently listening to her, kneeling down when she said to, even though she had done nothing wrong.
But Yu Linna felt she had done wrong.
She felt like a scumbag girl, and deserved to be punished.
…
Until 2 in the morning, Yu Linna had been kneeling for several hours. Her knees hurt a lot, and she was on the verge of crying. Ye Zhiyun hadn’t slept either. Seeing her like this, her heart also softened a little. In any case, it was a bit too much. They were not in that kind of relationship.
And she still couldn’t bear to let her kneel all night.
“Enough. You can get up now. Go back to bed and sleep.”
She finally opened her mouth and let Yu Linna get up.
She must have felt guilty too.
Although she was angry, Yu Linna was still her most beloved. She couldn’t bear to let her kneel all the time.
“Zhiyun…”
But Yu Linna didn’t stand up. Instead, she looked at her with teary eyes.
“What now? Didn’t I tell you to get up? You still want to kneel?”
“No, my legs are numb. I can’t stand up.”
“…”
Alright, she admitted she had gone a bit too far. Ye Zhiyun felt a wave of regret for the first time.
