Chapter 350: Would You Consider Me?
Ye Zhiyun was very nervous.
It was her first time confessing in her life, her first time confessing to someone she liked. Even the past Li Muqing had not received such treatment. It was natural to feel nervous. For example, she was afraid of being rejected. At this thought, she was a little tempted to retreat.
Because the company had given her a day off, she could only return to Guangnan today and confess on the spot. She had to take a car back at night and continue filming tomorrow.
Success or failure hinged on this one move.
But then again, she might have come too early. It was only eight o’clock in the morning…
…
Yu Linna woke up at seven in the morning. She had finished her breakfast, gone for a walk, and was writing her manuscript at home. Her life was that simple. Ye Zhiyun had arranged to meet her at ten o’clock, so there was still plenty of time. It was better to write a little more.
When the time pointed to almost ten o’clock, Yu Linna finally turned off her computer screen and changed her clothes to go out. After a year of university, her aesthetic sense had already changed under the influence of Fang Jiangning and Xiao Yanhan. She no longer wore red sportswear as before, but had found a pair of jeans to match with a T-shirt. At least she wouldn’t be dressed so casually as before.
When Yu Linna arrived at the meeting place, Ye Zhiyun seemed to have been waiting for a long time. It could be seen that her forehead was sweating, and she would take out a tissue from time to time to wipe her sweat.
“Zhiyun, have you been waiting for a long time?”
“!!!—No, no, I just arrived, just arrived!”
Ye Zhiyun hurriedly put away the tissue, put her hands in front of her, and pretended to be calm.
No matter how you looked at it, this girl seemed to be nervous.
It was rare to see this Miss Ye nervous. Yu Linna found it quite novel.
“Then let’s go.”
“Oh, oh.”
Yu Linna really felt a little strange.
This Ye Zhiyun, was she a fool?
Wasn’t she usually quite steady and capable? Why was she like a simpleton now?
What on earth was she doing?
Only Ye Zhiyun herself knew that she was nervous. If it was just to go out and play, how would it be like this? But she was here today for the purpose of confessing, so of course she would be nervous. And she was here with the determination to die.
“Shall we watch a movie first?”
“Alright, is there anything good recently? You pick.”
Ye Zhiyun tried her best to be as reliable as usual. She searched for the latest hot movies on her phone, trying to find a movie suitable for the two of them to watch. Since she had already made up her mind to confess, then for today’s date, she must leave a good impression on her, to make her feel that she was a good person.
Although this was a trick for boys to pursue girls, Ye Zhiyun felt that this method could also be used, because Yu Linna was also a little girl.
Actually, she quite wanted to pick a horror film to watch. That way, in the cinema, she could have all sorts of excuses to take advantage of her, to eat her tofu. But Yu Linna’s heart was not strong, and she was afraid of scaring her, so she had to give up.
In the end, she could only pick a romance film that looked alright, and then she pulled her in.
As a result, Yu Linna fell asleep halfway through.
There was nothing to be done about it. The movie was too boring. Even Ye Zhiyun was drowsy watching it, completely deceived by the movie poster.
But while Yu Linna was sleeping watching the movie, she secretly opened her phone’s camera and took a picture of her. Nice, she was caught.
But her phone’s camera had a flash when taking pictures. With one shot, the flash shone on her face, and Yu Linna woke up.
“Why are you taking my picture?”
“…”
Ye Zhiyun was extremely embarrassed.
Faced with Yu Linna’s confusion, Ye Zhiyun really couldn’t find a suitable excuse. She tried hard to gloss it over, but it didn’t seem that simple.
“You can’t just take my picture because I’m asleep.”
“This, this…”
“If you want my picture that much, why do you have to take it secretly? Isn’t it fine to just take it openly?”
“That’s right… eh? I can, take it whenever I want?”
“After-after we get out, we’ll talk about it. This is a cinema. It’s very impolite to just take pictures here.”
Yu Linna coughed twice, her ears a little red, and turned her head to try and hide her expression. And Ye Zhiyun was ecstatic. She was especially looking forward to getting out of the cinema. As a result, in the end, they didn’t pay attention to what the movie was about.
“What a boring movie. I fell asleep watching it.”
As soon as she came out of the cinema, Yu Linna couldn’t help but yawn. It was really not worth wasting money on such a movie. It would be better to spend the time on something else.
And her yawning appearance was once again captured by Ye Zhiyun.
“Do you like taking pictures of me that much?”
“Of course. You’re very cute.”
“…Why do you all say I’m cute, not pretty?”
Yu Linna expressed her frustration.
Just because she had a baby face, that didn’t mean you could just say she was cute when you saw her, right? At least you should say she was pretty. However, very few people said that about her. Most of them just said she was cute, or good-looking. Pretty was pretty, but it seemed very few people said it to her face.
“Then, let’s go somewhere else for a walk.”
Ye Zhiyun seemed to have made up her mind. She took a few steps forward and held her hand. Yu Linna symbolically resisted for a moment, and then stopped struggling, letting her hold it.
Miss Ye was ecstatic. She had hope.
Then she took her for a walk for a whole day, playing everywhere, walking everywhere, and taking pictures at the same time.
“Look, this photo booth picture is not bad. Let’s take one together.”
“Mmm.”
“This doll is quite cute. Madam, I’ll buy it. Please wrap it up. Nana, this is for you.”
“…”
“Look, the presentation of this stinky tofu is pretty good. Do you want to try it?”
“…I want to.”
“Boss, a skewer, please.”
“Nana, I found that the cakes at this shop are not bad. Let’s go and try them.”
“…”
“Nana?”
“Did you do something bad, or do you have some ulterior motives? Why are you being so, good to me?”
“What are you talking about? Isn’t this how I usually treat you!”
Ye Zhiyun was very angry.
When had she not taken her to eat and drink well, and gone everywhere? What did she mean by “how are you so good to me”? She was usually very good to her!
“No, even if you’re usually pretty good to me, you don’t have to buy me everything… the way you’re acting makes me feel like you have some ulterior motives.”
You’re not wrong, I do have ulterior motives for you.
Of course, Ye Zhiyun did not dare to say this.
Yu Linna sighed. She couldn’t help but recall the time when Ye Zhiyun still treated her as an enemy. At that time, Ye Zhiyun had not been stingy with her torment. Now, Ye Zhiyun was actually buying her everything. It was truly a moment filled with deep emotion.
She didn’t think too much about it and just let the topic go.
Because Ye Zhiyun had to go back at night, the time they had together was limited. Before the car left at night, Ye Zhiyun took her to eat first. When it was about seven o’clock, Ye Zhiyun took her to a Western restaurant that had been booked in advance, and even had music played. She had originally wanted to have someone come and play the violin, but she didn’t want to be disturbed, so she gave up.
The Western restaurant she had booked was a private room. The location was particularly good. With a slight turn of the head, you could see the night view outside the window. It could be said to be very romantic. And the price of this Western restaurant was not low. A single steak was close to a thousand yuan. It was really very expensive.
But if it could win a beauty’s smile, what did it matter how expensive it was?
“Why did you bring me here? This shop is quite expensive, right?”
Even if Yu Linna were a fool, she would know how luxurious this shop was. The decoration alone was not simple. When she picked up the menu, she was almost scared to death. How could it be so expensive!
“Zhi-Zhiyun, this is too expensive… I don’t have the money…”
“It’s my treat. You don’t have to worry about this.”
“How can I be so brazen? Usually, I only don’t give you money when I’m buying snacks. This is too expensive. How can I let you pay the bill?”
“It’s fine. I’m happy to.”
“But…”
“Stop talking nonsense. If you say anything more, I’ll get angry.”
Helpless, Yu Linna had no choice but to accept her treat.
Although it would be fine if she, Yu Linna, paid for it herself, at most her heart would ache a little. But Ye Zhiyun had actually so casually treated her to such a high-end dinner. As expected of a daughter of capitalism.
A single steak was so expensive. Was it trying to scare people to death? A few years ago, Yu Linna wouldn’t even dare to think about it. Not to mention steak, she couldn’t even afford beef.
“Is it delicious?”
Ye Zhiyun rested her chin on her hand and said with a grin.
Yu Linna clumsily ate her steak with a knife and fork. Clearly, she was still not very used to eating Western food. She was so angry she wanted to just swallow the whole piece of meat, but it was too hot, so she didn’t dare to do so.
“It’s delicious, but is it really okay to treat me to such a high-end meal? I don’t think today is any special day, and it’s not my birthday either.”
“Birthday or not, it doesn’t matter. I just wanted to tell you something today, so I asked you out.”
Ye Zhiyun put down the steak she had barely eaten and tried to make her tone more relaxed.
“Is there something you can’t say on the phone? You had to specifically ask me out to say it.”
Yu Linna didn’t think too deeply and was still “fighting” with her steak. She found that the Western food invented by Westerners was quite particular and a little difficult to handle.
“Nana, do you have someone you like?”
“Eh, not right now.”
“Do you have a type you like?”
“Let me think… as long as they can be good to me and give me food, that’s fine.”
“Then, would you consider… dating someone you know?”
“…”
Yu Linna finally realized that something seemed to be not right. Her knife and fork stopped in mid-air, and her face became strange.
And Ye Zhiyun adjusted her breathing, preparing to say it all in one go.
When she had wanted to pursue Li Muqing before, she had not succeeded because of hesitation and cowardice, although for her, success or failure was no longer important. But now, she liked Yu Linna more than she liked Li Muqing. She didn’t want to miss her because of hesitation.
“Nana, would you consider me?”
Ah, she had said it.
But she said it so embarrassingly…
A blush appeared on Ye Zhiyun’s face. She coughed twice again and adjusted her breathing.
“Zhiyun, what do you mean…”
Yu Linna was stunned, just staring at her blankly, her knife and fork also stopped in mid-air.
“I mean, I like you. Can you go out with me?”
Ye Zhiyun once again gathered her courage and said it out loud. This time, she was more direct.
Clang.
Yu Linna’s knife and fork fell onto the plate, making a crisp sound. Her whole person was completely bewildered.
The restaurant was still playing pleasant music, and the night view outside the window was also very beautiful. And Yu Linna, her face was hot, her hands and feet were all over the place, and she seemed to be at a loss.
And Ye Zhiyun was also blushing, waiting for her reply.
