Chapter 502: A Heart I Can’t Figure Out
This variety show was in itself an all-star feast, which was also the biggest highlight of this issue. Because the program had to be filmed in more than three locations, it could not be finished in just one day. Today, they were first filming the scenes in the snow, so today there would be activities like snowball fights and building snowmen.
After Xiao Yanhan’s “confession” was once again ruthlessly rejected, Xiao Yanhan was in so much pain that she was almost about to have a breakdown. But after playing a few snowball fights, to hell with love. Was the snowball not fun? Wasn’t a snowball fight also fragrant? And so she threw herself into the snowball fight segment, completely throwing the matter of Yu Linna to the back of her mind.
“Alright, dear viewers, we can see that after being ruthlessly rejected, Yan Yu-sensei has turned her grief and indignation into motivation, and has crazily hit her opponents in the snowball fight. Wow, I see the painful expression on Shion-sensei’s face. She must have been hit very hard. I’m sorry, I laughed very unkindly.”
Yu Linna had tasted what was called “what goes around comes around.” If she had known that Xiao Yanhan would target her so crazily, she wouldn’t have been so disrespectful to her just now.
But among the people who had joined the snowball fight game this time, Xiao Yanhan was indeed the one who played the best. This had made everyone miserable. Wasn’t this person a southerner? How could she fight more fiercely than a northerner? Was she even human?
Especially for Han Ying, who had grown up in Japan since she was little and had to go to Hokkaido for a trip with her family every year, her ability to withstand pressure on a snowy day was in any case stronger than Xiao Yanhan’s. Who would have thought that Xiao Yanhan was a pervert, who completely did not play by the rules, and had beaten her silly?
“Hahaha, as expected, I am the best in the world! You can’t beat me!”
As Xiao Yanhan was fighting, she began to get arrogant. Her foolish appearance was just like an idiot. It made Yu Linna really want to say, “I don’t know her.” But Lan Qianyu particularly liked this kind of shot, because this kind of shot was the easiest to create a program effect, and was also the shot that could most mobilize the audience’s emotions. She had to film it no matter what.
Although the few hosts had interacted with the various stars who had been invited over in the program, they knew very well that the person the camera was aimed at was these big stars, so they did their best to let the stars integrate in, and they themselves acted as a background board.
In the end, Yu Linna had even raised both hands in surrender.
Xiao Yanhan was still not satisfied.
The game had proceeded to the next segment. Everyone was building snowmen, to see whose snowman was more stylish.
“Hmph, this won’t be a problem for me. I’m a genius. Watch me build a luxurious snowman.”
“Eh? This snow… strange, why did it break…”
“Mmm, this is… what was it again?”
As she was building, the snowman that Xiao Yanhan was building was getting stranger and stranger, a far cry from her original image. In the end, Xiao Yanhan felt that something was missing, so she stuck a few dead branches on this snowman.
“What is this??? So scary! This snowman, are you sure it didn’t run over from the Sadako set?”
At that time, Lan Qianyu was so scared she was half dead when she saw this snowman. This snowman was crooked, and was made a little like a woman, especially since Xiao Yanhan had also put some leaves on its head, which drooped down like Sadako’s face being covered. And the dead branches that were stuck on its body, Xiao Yanhan had even smeared some ketchup on the snowman, which she didn’t even know where she had gotten it from, making it look like Sadako had turned into a snowman and had been assassinated and had died a miserable death.
To be able to make a snowman like this, in a sense, was also a genius.
Among so many guests who were making snowmen, only the one made by Ye Zhiyun was a little better, very much like a traditional snowman made by a northerner. But just such an ordinary snowman, when placed among everyone’s works, had jumped out. This was because the snowmen made by the others were really a bit too unsightly. Even Yu Linna’s was just a snowball, and it had even cracked in half, just like a salted duck egg that had been cut in half.
“Director Ye, I’ve discovered that the snowman you made is quite beautiful. I remember you’re not a northerner, right? How did you make this snowman so standard?”
“This is because I used to travel a lot when I was little, both in the country and abroad. I’ve been to many snowy tourist attractions. As for snowmen, I’ve been playing with them since I was little, so I don’t think it’s very difficult.”
“I seem to have discovered that Director Ye’s family situation is quite wealthy. Could it be the legendary rich second generation…”
While Lan Qianyu and Ye Zhiyun were chatting, the cameraman was aiming the camera at the two of them. Yu Linna was pushing a snowball over there. She wanted to use the method of rolling a snowball to make a big snowball, so that her snowman would become the biggest one. Of course, that’s what she thought, but this snowy ground was too slippery, and she had slipped and fallen with one careless mistake. Then, the big snowball she had pushed out had rolled back and had hit Yu Linna. And then, Yu Linna had rolled down the slope.
“Ahhh, help!”
Yu Linna had fallen down the slope in a very comical manner, and with a snowball at that.
Ye Zhiyun, who was chatting with Lan Qianyu, was startled at that moment. By the time she had come back to her senses, she had already taken a step and was running in Yu Linna’s direction. As soon as she had grabbed Yu Linna, the two of them had also rolled together, and with the big snowball, they had rolled down the small hill and had crashed straight into a big tree.
“Hey, Director Ye, Shion-sensei! Are you guys alright?!”
At the bottom of the small hill, Ye Zhiyun rubbed the back of her head. It had been hit quite hard. She opened her eyes and saw Yu Linna, who had been properly protected by her. And Yu Linna looked at Ye Zhiyun, who had taken the initiative to be her human cushion, and then at the position she was lying in. She was surprised to find that she was actually lying on Ye Zhiyun!
In a short few seconds, humans will always think of many things.
Ye Zhiyun looked at her, and Yu Linna looked at her. The two of them, in the ice and snow, were inexplicably reminded of many things. The days they had once been together, the promises they had once made but had never fulfilled, the vows they had once made to be together forever, but in the end, they had not been able to be together for a long time.
There were too many, too many nostalgic things.
“Thank you.”
In the end, Yu Linna could only spit out one sentence: “Thank you.”
“It’s fine.”
Ye Zhiyun answered woodenly. The last time the two of them were so intimate, when on earth was it?
They had not been together for so long that she had almost forgotten.
“You two, are you alright? You look quite happy.”
“Ahem, ahem! It’s fine, it’s fine! I’m fine! You should check on Ye, Miss Ye first.”
Yu Linna quickly got up from her, pretending not to know her, but her face still had a very obvious awkwardness. Lan Qianyu was extremely happy. Such a wonderful scene must be broadcast. The audience would surely like to see it. So interesting.
On the contrary, Ye Zhiyun, at the moment she got up, was a little reluctant. She looked at Yu Linna deliberately pretending not to know her, and then continued to throw herself into the filming of the program. She actually had an indescribable heartache.
She had said she would no longer be heartbroken, had said she would not care, but in the end, she found that that was just a way to comfort herself.
The first day’s recording ended here. Ye Zhiyun had no mood. The few hosts in the back said that tomorrow’s recording would be an extreme challenge, to eat hot pot in the snow in short sleeves, to see who could last until the end. But Ye Zhiyun clearly had no such thoughts.
She was thinking of Yu Linna.
In the bathroom, Ye Zhiyun was soaking in the bathtub alone. The huge meatball was floating in the water. She hugged her own body, recalling many things in the bathtub.
(“Hold on tight to my hand. Don’t get separated.”)
(“If I disappear in the subway, will you come and find me?”)
(“I will. No matter where you are, I will find you.”)
(“There are so many people in the subway. What if you miss your stop?”)
(“Then I’ll go and find you where you are. Wherever you are, I’ll go.”)
(“What if my phone runs out of battery?”)
(“Then I’ll keep looking, keep looking, until I find you.”)
(“The subway won’t be running until 12 o’clock.”)
(“Then I’ll look for you, until the subway stops running.”)
(“You’re annoying. You’re always saying such embarrassing things. You’re so cheesy.”)
She had thought of those words she had once said again. Ye Zhiyun buried her own head in the water, forcing herself not to think. The bubbles in the water kept coming up.
What on earth is wrong with me…
…
After taking a shower, everyone had a common meal time. Taking advantage of this time, everyone could communicate and promote their feelings. But Yu Linna had no intention of being friendly with the other stars. She just played with Zhao Yuyan, Tang Yumeng, and the others.
Ye Zhiyun stayed in her own seat, watching her from a distance, and even more so, she didn’t know what she was thinking.
“I’m going to the toilet for a bit.”
Yu Linna went to the toilet in the middle of the meal and left the dinner table. Ye Zhiyun also said that she wanted to go to the restroom. And so she had an excuse to walk with Yu Linna. This was the first time the two of them had walked together since they had broken up.
After leaving the private room, the two of them were actually a little awkward. After all, for exes to meet was a very awkward thing. The two of them had already broken up. What had happened in the past could only be in the past and could not represent anything.
“Na… how have you been lately?”
Ye Zhiyun took the initiative to speak.
“I’m fine.”
Yu Linna answered, her face plain, neither smiling nor making a fuss.
“What are we now?”
“We’re in an ex-relationship, I guess. You don’t have to think too much. I won’t mention what happened in the past. You can rest assured on this point.”
“No, I’m not talking about that…”
“By the way, I forgot to say. Director Ye, I hear your movie is a big hit, and the box office is not bad. Congratulations. Didn’t you say before that you wanted to become a great director that everyone knows? I believe you will succeed. Keep it up.”
“Nana…”
“I know you don’t want to go to the toilet. You can go back now.”
Yu Linna said as she entered the women’s restroom stall. With the door being locked, it also blocked Ye Zhiyun outside, completely separating them.
Ye Zhiyun stood there alone. She actually had a sense of heartache. What was this? Why did it hurt? So strange. Hadn’t she decided not to be moved anymore? What was this…
When Ye Zhiyun returned to the dinner table, she found that she couldn’t eat a single bite. Her heart was in a great mess, and she didn’t even know what she was thinking.
Han Ying, seeing her like this, estimated that it was related to Yu Linna, and to this, she was only helpless. And when Yu Linna came back, she was very normal. The expression on her face was no different from when she had gone out, a stark contrast to Ye Zhiyun.
