Chapter 404: A Long-Awaited Holiday
As her popularity rose, what followed was a surge in topic heat. At this moment, many people discovered that even the so-called top-tier celebrities in the entertainment industry couldn’t compete with Shion-sensei in terms of topic heat. She was always being compared to them, and the one who occupied the top spot was still Shion-sensei. The popular celebrities were puzzled. This was just a novelist. On what grounds could she occupy the Weibo hot search without any hype?
And her colleague, Air-sensei, was not so terrifying. At most, she would be on the hot search, and rarely competed with the popular celebrities for heat.
“Look, you’re number one again. My wife is so outstanding.”
Ye Zhiyun said with a smile.
Today was a rare day off. Yu Linna was staying at Ye Zhiyun’s house, spending the holiday with her. Ye Zhiyun was hugging her from behind, her chin resting on her head. Yu Linna was leaning against her, looking at her own phone. When Ye Zhiyun was in the mood, she would even play with her hair from behind. To this, Yu Linna did not object.
The two of them were already dating. It wasn’t strange for them to make such intimate actions. Yu Linna also didn’t reject this posture.
“Zhiyun, I feel like I’ve been in the spotlight too much lately. Every time I scroll through Weibo, it’s all my photos.”
“Isn’t that great? Now everyone knows that you are a super beautiful girl. Before, I often saw people commenting that your appearance was ugly and you didn’t dare to show your face. It made me so angry.”
Ye Zhiyun hugged her, smelling the fragrance on her girlfriend’s body, a smile on her face. This shampoo smells so good, a faint lemon scent.
“By the way, how long are you planning to maintain this posture? It’s been over an hour. Aren’t you tired?”
“Is my dear wife complaining about me? I’m not tired at all.”
“Get lost. Who’s your wife? You’re my wife. Forget it. If you like it, it’s not impossible to stay like this.”
Yu Linna’s face was slightly red, but she still pretended to be calm. This Ye Zhiyun, ever since they had started dating, she seemed to have become bolder and bolder. Before, she would never have done this. She remembered when they had first met, Ye Zhiyun had really wished she could just strip her and swallow her whole every day, and she also loved to bully her. Now, she was so good to her. Compared to the past, it was like heaven and earth.
“Wifey~ I want to eat bitter melon stuffed with meat tonight~”
“I’ll make it… don’t hold me so tight…”
“Wifey wants a kiss~”
“Get lost, get lost… I haven’t agreed yet! Don’t come any closer!”
“Stingy.”
Ye Zhiyun quite liked their current way of getting along. Before they were dating, she didn’t dare to be too presumptuous and still had to have some sense of propriety. Now that they were dating, she didn’t have to worry about anything. Besides not being able to kiss and roll in the sheets, she had basically done everything she could, and Yu Linna didn’t object at all. Every time she held her, looking at the shy expression on her face, she always felt very satisfied.
Envy me, mortals. This is my wife. You all only have the right to watch.
The time she had known her had also passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it had been two years. Two years ago, when they had just met, she had still treated the other party as a love rival, always wanting to get rid of her. Now, they had become lovers. The time when they had just met was basically not mentioned much anymore. To them, the past was not that important. The important thing was that they were together now.
“Nana, I’m hungry.”
“If you’re hungry, then let go of me. I’m going out to buy groceries.”
“But I don’t want to let go of you. Can I go grocery shopping while holding you like this?”
“…That’s definitely not possible, right? Do you want me to be watched like a rare animal?”
“No, no! I want to hold you~”
“Alright, alright, I know. Holding hands, holding hands should be fine, right!”
“Mmm, that’s fine too.”
This asshole Ye Zhiyun, actually acting spoiled. So despicable. Of course, the most despicable thing was that she actually couldn’t refuse!
Where had Yu Linna’s strong willpower gone!
Although Ye Zhiyun and Yu Linna were usually very busy, each with their own work, but for the two of them to meet and have their own private time, they had specially set aside a day to take a vacation today, just to be able to enjoy their time together.
After all, they were dating. They couldn’t be busy with work all the time, right?
Yu Linna had also agreed to her, holding hands with her to go to the market to buy groceries and cook. Ye Zhiyun had a silly smile on her face. Of course, Ye Zhiyun was the one who paid. Yu Linna didn’t take out any money. Although it would be fine if she paid, Ye Zhiyun insisted on doing so. Yu Linna thought for a moment and decided to just forget it. Wasn’t her girlfriend’s money also her own money?
Now Yu Linna’s book was also in a stable state. She was working hard on the manuscript for the second volume of Dawn Assassin. Soon she would be able to finish it. She wasn’t in a hurry about the publication, but was more worried about the sales. If next month’s sales could surpass this month’s, that would mean that Yu Linna had a chance to challenge the position of a supreme god and become the first supreme god author of Wenqing. With such a temptation in front of her, it was impossible for her not to be moved. She still wanted to give it a try.
What if she really succeeded?
“Don’t think about work when you’re on vacation. Here, I’ll carry the groceries. Let’s buy a Baumkuchen on the way home.”
“You’re at it again. You always use this to distract me. This is no…”
“You don’t want to eat it? Then I’ll eat it myself.”
“…Who said I’m not eating? If you buy it, I’ll eat it.”
“Hee hee.”
Ye Zhiyun indicated that everything was under her control.
…
The happy weekend was spent in a sticky, clingy way. Yu Linna had also stayed at Ye Zhiyun’s house for a long time. Although she had thought of going out to play, Yu Linna’s identity was very sensitive. If she went out casually, she might be recognized by die-hard fans. To avoid being discovered, she had chosen to stay at home and accompany Ye Zhiyun. In the end, because she had stayed too late, she had simply slept at Ye Zhiyun’s house. Ye Zhiyun’s house still had an empty room. The room she had lived in before was still there, and the furniture was still the same as before. And so she had stayed here for a night.
The next morning, she got up to make breakfast, and then she was ready to go back to school for class. Ye Zhiyun had also used up her vacation and had to go back to the crew today.
“Nana, if you’re out too late and can’t go back, you can just stay the night at my place. I’ll give you the key.”
“There’s no need, right? I also have a rented apartment outside.”
“Just in case. Just in case you’re out too late and it’s too far from your school and rented apartment, then just come back here. Here’s the key. As for the room, you can just stay in the one you used to live in. But don’t just bring anyone back.”
“Alright then, I’ll take it.”
She took the key and went back to school for class just like that. The university’s curriculum was not like high school’s. It didn’t have to be too tight. It was fine to go at a leisurely pace. After entering university, she felt that she had much more free time than in high school. In high school, she always felt that there was too little time, and the money she earned from her part-time jobs was not enough. Now she earned more money, and she also had more free time. Most importantly, she had escaped from poverty.
“Oh~~ You didn’t come home last night. What were you up to outside?”
Fang Jiangning saw her in the classroom early in the morning. She specially sat next to her and said a few words to her in a strange tone, even making a comical expression.
“I didn’t do anything. I just stayed at Zhiyun’s for a night. We didn’t do anything.”
“Do you think I’ll believe your nonsense?”
“I’m not lying to you.”
Lan Ranyan and Xiao Yanhan followed closely behind. Xiao Yanhan had a sleepy look on her face. The life of rushing her manuscript had made her quite tired. But if she didn’t rush her manuscript, it wouldn’t be good. When she saw Yu Linna in the classroom, her heart was a mess, but she still went up to greet her with a smile.
“Yo, Linna. Do you want to have dinner together tonight?”
“We probably will. I’m not so busy that I have to go out for social engagements every day.”
“It’s hard to say. What if you go out with your editor or your that-something again?”
“That’s not something you should be worried about. You should be more concerned about your manuscript first.”
The classmates in the class arrived one after another. Seeing the few of them sitting together, talking and laughing, their hearts were a mess. This dorm 383, they were really all monsters and demons. Before Yu Linna had revealed her identity, everyone just thought she was a little internet celebrity. Now that her identity was revealed, damn it, it turned out that this person was the ultimate big shot.
Come to think of it, the big miss of the Lan family, a super streamer and professional competition commentator, a popular manga artist, a god-tier author, for these people to be squeezed into one dorm, it really made one wonder if Guangnan University had bribed someone outside to buy the four of them into the school.
What gave Yu Linna the most headache was that every time, whether it was in class or after class, someone would always find her and ask for her autograph or a photo, which annoyed her to no end, but she couldn’t bring herself to be rude.
She was even thinking, should she just skip class during this period?
Anyway, she was quite busy recently.
…
A few days later, Chen Xi called her out, saying she wanted to talk about work. The second volume of Dawn Assassin would be finished soon. Chen Xi wanted to know about the progress and content, so that next month’s release would be smooth. Although with Shion-sensei’s super high popularity, it was basically impossible for it to flop. But as an editor, she still had to be serious and responsible.
“Shion-sensei, I’ve read your setting and character design. The new character is pretty good, but you’re going to start laying the groundwork for the worldview in this volume, right? How do you plan to develop the protagonist in the second volume?”
On the other end of the phone, Chen Xi was chatting with her about work. In terms of the novel’s content, Chen Xi was even more serious than Shion-sensei herself. She hoped that Shion-sensei’s novel could get higher sales, and in terms of logic, she also didn’t want to make any low-level mistakes.
“I’ll show you the content after I’ve finished writing it. For now, the protagonist will have more scenes with Fiona in the second volume.”
“You mean that supporting character who has only appeared a few times? Are you planning to develop her as the second female lead?”
“No, no, she’s just a very important character.”
“Alright then. By the way, are you really not planning to write a male protagonist?”
“I don’t have any plans for now. There will definitely be male characters in the future, but as for the male protagonist, I haven’t decided whether to arrange for one yet.”
“As long as the story is interesting, I don’t think it’s that important. Remember to let me take a look after you’ve finished writing. I’m looking forward to it.”
Chen Xi said this with a laugh. This cold and indifferent person actually had such a cute laugh. Did she like her book that much? Yu Linna thought.
Actually, how could she know that Chen Xi just liked this child, Yu Linna? Her laugh was also for Yu Linna. She hoped that Yu Linna could climb higher. She hoped that she could personally see her reach the peak.
