Chapter 475: The Most Distant Distance
After experiencing many things, no matter how many low points she had been through, no matter how much she had been slandered in the end, Yu Linna had finally reached the position of a supreme god author. She had achieved her goal ahead of schedule. Originally, the industry insiders had thought that she would achieve the goal of a supreme god a little later. Who would have thought that she would complete it so quickly?
She had succeeded.
She had become the number one author of Wenqing, and had also let Wenqing officially have the absolute strength to compete with its rival, Qidian. Her appearance could be said to have subverted the entire industry. In just two short years, she had shocked everyone, and no one could have imagined that her success was so sudden.
Since she had sat in this position, it was naturally impossible to be stable. For her to have climbed so fast at once, there would naturally be people who were jealous, who would be envious of her success. Of course, these were not things that Yu Linna needed to be concerned about now.
After the breakup, it seemed that nothing could shake her anymore. She had been through all kinds of great storms, had experienced betrayal, had experienced the sweet and the bitter, and had also experienced a breakup with her lover. Her life had only been twenty years, but she felt that her life was so bitter. A jianghu-like life legend, in the eyes of others, must be very enviable, but Yu Linna would rather not have such a life. She just wanted to live her life plainly, to live a stable life.
But the fact was, it was not as simple as she had thought.
“How could it be so sudden?”
When Fang Jiangning had learned of this matter, she was also very incredulous. Weren’t their feelings very good? How could they have broken up?
Whether it was Ye Zhiyun or Yu Linna, they were both very attentive to each other, and were also willing to give their true hearts for the other party. Anyone could see that their relationship was good. How could they just break up like that? This was too sudden.
Could it be that they had broken up just because they couldn’t understand each other?
Fang Jiangning still couldn’t figure it out.
“There’s nothing strange about it. Isn’t dating just like this? You think you know everything, you think you can last forever. In the end, I discovered that I can’t control anything.”
When Yu Linna said this, her words were full of a sense of vicissitude, and also a sense of sadness.
Fang Jiangning felt a little sorry for her.
“You clearly like her very much, don’t you?”
“But we are not suitable. Liking someone can’t be eaten. To just talk about feelings, and not be a little more realistic, how is that possible? Since she feels that I can’t understand her, can’t help her, then there is no need for me to stay and accompany her.”
“She’s just a little stubborn. You should know that.”
“I know it much better than you. But it’s useless. What should be broken is broken.”
Yu Linna could only say so.
Not suitable, was stronger than any other reason.
…
After Ye Zhiyun had broken up with her, although her days still had to go on, the time she spent walking alone had increased. She would often go out for a walk alone after work. She didn’t need anyone to accompany her, nor did she allow her bodyguards to get close. She just walked slowly by herself, and came to a pavilion by the lake. She sat down alone. Perhaps because it was a weekday, there was no one here, and the old people did not come to patronize anymore. The lake was clear, and the cool wind blew, brushing past her hair, a wave of coolness.
Spring was coming.
She had heard that after you stop liking a person, if you speak your true heart to the lake, then this person will completely let go of their past and welcome the future with a smile. Although she didn’t know if this was true or false, Ye Zhiyun was actually a little interested.
“Yu Linna, I don’t like you.”
She shouted at the lake. She smiled.
“Yu Linna, I don’t like you anymore. I don’t love you anymore.”
She shouted again.
Of course, it was impossible for the lake to have a response. She smiled again, feeling that it was so refreshing to say it out loud. She still wanted to say it.
“I don’t like you.”
“I don’t like you.”
“Yu Linna, I don’t like you. I don’t love you.”
How many times had she said it?
She only knew that in the beginning, she had said it with a smile. As she spoke, her heart became sad. Her smile gradually faded, and her raised right hand also limply fell. She wanted to laugh, but she couldn’t.
“Yu Linna…”
“I love you…”
She couldn’t control herself. Tears blurred her eyes, and teardrops fell one by one. She wiped away her tears, sitting alone in the pavilion and starting to sob. She was very stubborn, with strong self-esteem, and rarely cried. But for love, she had cried.
She knew that all of this was her own doing. She deserved it.
Could she regret it?
Of course not.
…
Yu Linna was out playing this weekend. Coincidentally, Xiao Yanhan and Fang Jiangning were also free and had gone with her. Lan Ranyan, for some reason, had refused this trip. The three of them had arranged to go somewhere to eat and had gone to a new Western restaurant, thinking of changing their taste. After all, what they ate at school were all some fast food. Occasionally, they also wanted to change their taste and eat some Western food or something.
“Welcome. Are you three dining?”
“Yes.”
After entering the Western restaurant, the three of them chatted and ordered their food. Yu Linna had ordered a vegetable salad. The waitress was probably a new one, and also a part-time chef. She enthusiastically asked Yu Linna, who had ordered a salad, if she wanted a special salad.
“A special salad?”
“Yes, this is a special fruit and vegetable salad that I have specially invented. Do you want to try it? I’m definitely not just messing around because I’m the owner’s daughter.”
Yu Linna felt that this girl was a little cute and didn’t really refuse, so she agreed to order a portion of her so-called special salad. For some reason, her appearance gave people a very familiar feeling, as if she had seen her somewhere before.
Actually, she liked to eat meat dishes. Forget it. It wasn’t bad to have some vegetarian food today.
Not long after, the salad arrived. This fruit and vegetable salad looked quite high-end, but the amount of smoothie was a little surprising. Yu Linna took a spoon and slowly tasted a bite. The young waitress looked at her nervously.
“How-how is it?”
Yu Linna took a few more bites, chewed, and showed a wry smile.
“You put too much salad dressing. Also, the taste is not well-adjusted.”
“Wow, how can it be like this? I put a lot of thought into it!”
The young waitress knelt on the spot, sighing at the miserable defeat of her work.
Yu Linna took a few more bites.
“And you call it a special salad. It’s a mix of fruits and vegetables. Isn’t it the Ye family’s special salad?”
“Wrong. This is the Lin family’s special salad.”
“You’re always making these kinds of ingredients, and you don’t even have any meat dishes.”
“Of course there are meat dishes! Look, this is the invincible spicy chicken chop! This is also my special!”
“Special… you, so many specials.”
Yu Linna said with a smile.
In the past, a certain person had also made her a salad, and had also told her about special dishes. She remembered that that was the last day they were together, the last meal they had.
It really was exactly the same.
So much salad dressing, and the taste was also strangely good. The ingredients were clearly not wrong, but the taste was just not right.
It really was exactly the same.
“It would have been fine to just make it normally. And you call it special… when did I ever need a special dish?”
She smiled, and as she smiled, she cried.
Everyone was stunned.
She had remembered many things, had remembered the experiences they had had together, and had also remembered the sweet times of the past. Ah ah, it turned out that all of that had already become the past. It was already impossible to turn it into reality.
It turned out that so much time had already passed.
She had already forgotten that Ye Zhiyun was gone.
“What-what’s wrong? Is it not delicious? You don’t have to cry even if it’s not delicious. I’ll have my dad make you a delicious portion right away!”
People who didn’t understand her probably wouldn’t understand why she was crying.
Actually, in the end, she was just an ordinary person. There would always be a time when she was moved by a scene. And it just so happened that it was at this time.
Xiao Yanhan and Fang Jiangning didn’t say anything, just silently handed her a tissue. Especially Xiao Yanhan, seeing her like this, her heart really hurt. She held the other party’s hand, hoping to let the other party feel a trace of warmth. But Yu Linna was still crying. She did not calm down.
This meal ended just like that.
The persistent, the things that could not be let go of, with the passage of time, slowly, people will forget.
After that, Yu Linna had put this matter aside and had also decided to live for herself, no longer to be troubled by the past. In the past, she had always been very bitter, had always had a very hard life. She could no longer live in the past. Even if the past had Ye Zhiyun, she had to work hard to learn to forget, because she would not fall in love with a person so easily again.
Love is like this. You always think it’s very simple, always think that with love, you can easily change the world. But in fact, the people who can hold on to love until the end are very few. Most people, in their entire lives, have never tasted true love.
At least, Yu Linna had loved. With that, she was satisfied.
…
This day, she was on the phone with someone and had entered the subway entrance.
“Yes, regarding the matter of Chenghe, I hope you will be more careful.”
“Mmm, thank you for your trouble.”
She was on the phone with someone. Coincidentally, she had just come out of the subway. She walked up the escalator, slowly starting to rise. And on the escalator in the opposite direction, a black-haired woman was slowly coming down.
In this moment of passing by, the black-haired girl suddenly looked up and looked to her right. At this time, the crowd was congested. A certain blonde girl had already walked up the escalator and had disappeared into the sea of people, leaving only the black-haired girl standing at the bottom of the escalator, staring at the top in a daze. She wanted to find a certain blonde girl, but found that she was long gone.
The most distant distance in this world is when you clearly want to see someone, but you don’t even know that they are right by your side.
The most distant distance in the world is when you clearly love each other, but you have missed the time to be together.
The most distant distance in the world is when you clearly have not let go, but you still left the other party like a fool.
Ye Zhiyun was about to cry. She wiped the corners of her eyes, turned, and left. She would forget all this. After she got out of the subway, she would start her new life. At that time, she would accept all this reality.
Yu Linna was also the same. The moment she had walked out, she would truly accept a complete self, accept a life without Ye Zhiyun. At this moment, she would accept it. A new life would surely come. That day was not far away.
With a brand new thought in her heart, and also a hope for a beautiful life, Yu Linna smiled and took the first step in her life.
And so, Yu Linna had begun a brand new story. Her jianghu life had also become more magnificent. A long time later, she had also truly become the person she had dreamed of becoming in the past.
