Chapter 467: Gradually Melting
Back in a familiar place, a familiar routine, it should have been a good thing. But Yu Linna didn’t think so. She always felt that now was not a good time.
The main reason was that Ye Zhiyun was looking for her and had asked her to contact her after she came back. Yu Linna still hadn’t replied to her.
But Yu Linna still specially went to a flower shop to order flowers, and continued to send her flowers, starting this endless task. But as for meeting, Yu Linna still didn’t know what to say to her.
Even if they had argued, she still liked Ye Zhiyun. As for how to face her, that was indeed a problem.
“What are you worrying about?”
Fang Jiangning saw her unease and took the initiative to talk to her about it. Yu Linna couldn’t think of a good way even after racking her brains, so she still decided to tell Fang Jiangning about her matter. After Fang Jiangning’s initial surprise, she had pulled her to a milk tea shop to sit down and have a good talk.
“I can’t really say much about your matter. After all, I’m just an outsider. But seriously, Linna, are you willing to let it go on like this?”
Fang Jiangning sat down and expressed her opinion. Although she couldn’t interfere with their feelings, she had known Yu Linna and Ye Zhiyun for so long. She knew very well that neither of them was the type to just cause trouble. The biggest possibility was just a communication problem.
Ye Zhiyun, after all, had a stubborn personality and strong self-esteem. And Yu Linna, in some aspects, was also very stubborn. Once the two of them had a conflict on certain matters, the result could only be a powder keg explosion.
It was precisely because of this that the two of them had not been in contact with each other all along.
“Of course I don’t want it to be like this. But I don’t know how to talk to her.”
Yu Linna lay on the table, looking listless. It was her first time in a relationship, and she had no experience. As for her lover’s matter, she didn’t know how to solve it. And if you wanted to find someone to discuss it with, where would she know who to find? There was no suitable person around.
“The biggest problem should still be a communication problem. Why don’t you try to talk to her about it, for example, about being very lonely or something?”
Yu Linna looked up, her eyes filled with bewilderment. If it were that simple, it would be great.
Before, when Ye Zhiyun had said she was very busy, she had been very obedient and had not disturbed her. When Ye Zhiyun had said that she didn’t understand her, she had also tried hard to understand her and had secretly helped her. When Ye Zhiyun had said that she was disobedient and was always being mischievous, Yu Linna had really stopped being mischievous and had even sent her flowers after an argument.
She had given a lot, but she had never expected anything in return.
She just hoped that Ye Zhiyun could feel a little better.
If it were that easy to understand, it would be great. The human heart is always hard to fathom.
But Yu Linna still tried to contact Ye Zhiyun and explained her own situation, and also said that they could meet. Ye Zhiyun also quickly arranged a time with her.
And so, the two of them met.
This was the first time they had met since they had argued for so long. In the past, they had not met many times because of work, but now it was not just as simple as work. When Ye Zhiyun saw Yu Linna again, she was still the same familiar her, completely unchanged. Even without Ye Zhiyun’s life, Yu Linna was still living very well.
She sighed, sat down at the appointed coffee shop seat, ordered the coffee she wanted, and then leaned against the chair, looking at this familiar her.
Yu Linna did not say a word, leaning against the chair, looking at Ye Zhiyun, this lover she was most familiar with. For a moment, she didn’t even know how to start.
“Recently, have you been well?”
Ye Zhiyun took the initiative to speak.
“I’m fine. I work every day, write my manuscript, write a script, meet clients, sign contracts, attend events, and take planes. My schedule is very good. When I’m tired, I sleep. When I’m hungry, I eat. I’m living a very fulfilling life.”
Yu Linna deliberately said these things. She wanted to see what Ye Zhiyun’s reaction would be. And Ye Zhiyun was just silent for a moment, and then she sighed and took out a small box.
“What is this?”
Yu Linna asked.
“Open it and see.”
Yu Linna was not clear about her intention, but she still opened it. After opening it, inside the box was a ring, made of platinum, with very fine workmanship. It was clearly a pair of couple’s rings. Yu Linna looked at the opposite side, and Ye Zhiyun’s hand indeed had an identical ring.
“It’s for you. I’ve always wanted to give it to you, but I just didn’t have a chance. I… Nana, maybe I was too impulsive. It’s my fault. But at least, accept it, okay?”
Yu Linna’s heart softened.
Deep in her heart, there was always a place for Ye Zhiyun. No matter how fierce the argument was, she still loved Ye Zhiyun. Perhaps when Ye Zhiyun had pulled her back at the train station, she had silently started to have feelings for her.
She had met Ye Zhiyun when she was 17. From then on, her life could no longer be separated from her.
In the beginning, she had just treated the other party as a lifelong benefactor.
Slowly, she had become the most special person in Yu Linna’s heart.
And later, when she had confessed to Yu Linna, Yu Linna had finally understood that their relationship had long since not been an ordinary friendship. Gradually, their hands were linked, and they had officially become lovers. It was also from that time that everything about them had changed.
“Zhiyun.”
Yu Linna had called her name after a long time.
She accepted the ring and gently put it on the middle finger of her right hand. In this way, she and Ye Zhiyun had become a pair.
“Shall we go for a walk in a bit?” she suggested.
“Mmm.”
Ye Zhiyun nodded. At this time, she smiled.
In any case, for them, this was a good start. The iceberg that had been blocking them was gradually starting to melt.
After leaving the coffee shop, the two of them did not hold hands. But when the rings on their fingers touched, both of them couldn’t help but blush, their faces hot. The two of them scratched their cheeks, and neither of them said anything.
Yu Linna walked very quickly. She probably felt that her heart was beating a little fast, so she didn’t look at the road. The red light was already on at the side of the road, yet she still ran to the crosswalk.
“Be careful.”
Ye Zhiyun gently pulled her back. A small car sped past the crosswalk. Yu Linna’s back was blocked by a soft body. But when she looked up, Ye Zhiyun had gently hugged her. This time, Yu Linna did not resist, nor did she deliberately do anything, just letting her hold her.
“Nana.”
“Mmm?”
“Thank you.”
“It’s fine.”
This conversation was really strange.
The one who had walked out was clearly Yu Linna, and the one who had pulled her back was Ye Zhiyun, but the one who said thank you was Ye Zhiyun. This conversation was really strange.
But only they themselves knew what they were saying.
Ye Zhiyun said, “Thank you for being willing to accept it, thank you for not leaving me.”
Yu Linna said, “It’s fine. I’m willing.”
Ye Zhiyun and Yu Linna, from the very beginning, were two people who were at loggerheads. In the long process of getting used to each other, they had slowly found everything that belonged to the other, and in the end, they would be together.
“Want to watch a movie?”
“Okay.”
Their conversation was very little, and there were no words of love between them, unlike before when they would talk a lot as soon as they met. But Yu Linna was satisfied with just this. As long as she could be with Ye Zhiyun, these were not a big deal. She didn’t want a grand and spectacular love, nor a love of life and death. What she wanted was just an ordinary love.
She wanted a home, and the one who could give her a home was Ye Zhiyun.
Ye Zhiyun had once said, “You still have me.” Yes, Yu Linna only had Ye Zhiyun. She had no one else.
She loved Ye Zhiyun, and Ye Zhiyun also cherished her. As long as they could always be together, the past was not important.
In the cinema, the two of them did not talk, just ate popcorn and watched a movie. There was no communication. But at this moment, they were happy, because at this time, they were finally doing what a real couple should do.
After watching the movie, the two of them walked out. Ye Zhiyun suggested taking her for a walk. Yu Linna nodded in agreement. They walked through the mall, looked at clothes, and also bought a small pendant. Ye Zhiyun was also very happy. Only the time with Yu Linna was the most beautiful time.
“Nana.”
“What’s wrong?”
“I’m sorry.”
“…”
Yu Linna ate her lollipop, silently lowered her head, and stopped talking.
“During the time you were away, I was a little unaccustomed to it. Nana, I’m sorry. It’s my fault.”
Yu Linna turned around and looked at her.
“You can’t have any more scandals.”
“Okay.”
“You have to dote on me, love me.”
“Okay.”
“No matter how busy you are usually, at least you have to keep in touch on WeChat.”
“Okay.”
“Hug me.”
“Okay.”
Ye Zhiyun gently hugged her.
The two of them smiled at each other.
Slowly, their relationship was easing, and the conflict was gradually being resolved. For either of them, this was a good thing. Yu Linna’s heart also relaxed at this moment.
She didn’t have too many excessive demands for Ye Zhiyun. She just needed Ye Zhiyun to occasionally contact her, to be with her. That was all.
Even if they had argued, it didn’t matter. As long as the distance between their hearts had not shortened, all of this was irrelevant.
It was night. The two of them held hands and went to the subway station. Their two hands let go. Yu Linna stood at the entrance of the subway station, and Ye Zhiyun looked at her.
“I’m leaving. Remember to take care of yourself. Don’t always stay up late at night, and don’t drink so much coffee. It’s not good for your health. Go to bed early, get up a little earlier, and have three meals a day. Eating out is too greasy. You should cook yourself. Although you’re very busy, you still have to find some time to cook. If you really can’t, then hire a housekeeper to cook. Also, although work is tiring, and you often work overtime and pull all-nighters, you have to take care of yourself. Prepare more health tea. When you’re free, go for a run. Don’t just sit still. Also, if you’re free, let me know. I’ll come and see you. If you want to eat my cooking, I’ll bring a bento over.”
This was the longest thing Yu Linna had said today.
Ye Zhiyun nodded.
“Okay.”
A thousand words, only this one was left. Any more words, she couldn’t say a single one.
Yu Linna slowly walked backwards, her feet on the escalator, slowly going down. Yu Linna looked at Ye Zhiyun, a look of reluctance in her eyes. Ye Zhiyun smiled faintly. In the end, Yu Linna went down. She turned and disappeared at the subway entrance.
Ye Zhiyun looked at the ring in her hand and smiled. She still liked Yu Linna, and now she liked her very much. She didn’t want to be separated from her. She wanted to be with her forever.
No matter how long, she didn’t want to be separated.
Thinking like this, Ye Zhiyun smiled, a very happy smile.
