Chapter 509: A Day of Unrest
The exercise book was properly put away by Yu Linna. This thing was a bit old, but she had never been willing to throw it away. After all, for so many years, only this thing could confirm her name. When she had first entered the orphanage, she had registered with the name on this exercise book. If it weren’t for this exercise book, Yu Linna wouldn’t even know her own name.
This thing was of great significance to her. Although it was not of much use to her anymore, she still wanted to keep it.
“Shion-sensei, this must be very important to you. Is it… what was left for you by that person?”
Qian Jiaxuan carefully avoided the topic that shouldn’t be mentioned and asked cautiously.
“Mmm, although there is no basis, it was probably left to me by my relatives in this world. Actually, it was originally meaningless, but because of this thing, I have the name ‘Yu Linna.’ Even if it’s just a symbol, I feel that it was left to me by my parents.”
“I see. I’m sorry…”
Yu Linna had been an orphan since she was little, had not been brought up with her parents, and had been sold by human traffickers when she was very young. After being resold to many families, she had finally gone to an orphanage. And after that, she had wandered for several years, and had finally settled in Guangnan. It could be said that she had never been happy since she was little. She cherished this notebook very much, even though there was only a name on it and no content inside.
“There’s no laundry detergent and dish soap at home. I have to go out and buy them. Sister Qian, do you want to come with me?”
“Yes, yes. I will be your guard and protect you all the way today!”
“Protection is not necessary. You don’t look like the type who can fight…”
“Don’t look at me like that. I was taught by Sister Chen! I’m very amazing!”
“Alright, alright. You’re the most amazing.”
Yu Linna ignored her saying those words in the back and went out on her own. Considering that she wanted to be in seclusion for a period of time, she didn’t want to go out if there was nothing to do. She had to prepare more things. Before, Director Heston had told her to go to England to supervise the film. The movie was already in filming. Yu Linna had bought a plane ticket for next Monday, which meant that she had to stay at home for a week.
“We’ve bought everything. Why don’t we go for milk tea, Shion-sensei!”
“Is your brain made of milk tea? It’s time to go home!”
“Shion-sensei, there’s a very delicious Yihetang nearby. It’s cheap and delicious. Are you sure you don’t want to go!”
“…”
“If you don’t go, then I’ll go by myself! I’ll even send you a picture!”
“…Don’t.”
A few minutes later, Yu Linna was sitting in a milk tea shop, covering her face, her face full of humiliation, a cup of milk tea in front of her.
Dammit, why can’t my willpower be a little firmer? Yu Linna kept blaming herself in her head.
“It’s so delicious, right, Shion-sensei~”
“Yeah…”
Yu Linna took a few sips and found that this milk tea was quite delicious. Mmm, very sweet.
“By the way, aren’t you going to England next week?”
“Yes.”
“As for the plane, Wenqing seems to have prepared an exclusive plane, which is the so-called private plane. It will be very fast to go on our plane, and you don’t have to queue. Does Shion-sensei want to take it?”
At this time, Yu Linna was a little hesitant.
She thought for a moment, and it seemed to make a bit of sense. It was quite fast to go by private plane, and Wenqing was paying for it. The other party was also taking such good care of her. She had also made a lot of contributions to Wenqing and had earned a lot of money for Wenqing. Recently, there were also companies that were talking to her about buying an IP. There were people who wanted to buy the IP of both The Fox Demon Exorcist and Dawn Assassin, which meant that the chances of them being animated were very high. This was also Yu Linna’s return to the animation stage after two years.
The Japanese side was also getting restless, and the people in the country also wanted to seize the opportunity. After all, Yu Linna was like a mobile money tree. Everyone wanted her.
“It sounds a little interesting. I’m also too lazy to queue. Taking a private plane seems to be a good choice.”
“Then you’ve agreed? I’ll call the chief editor right away.”
“I’ll think about it again.”
“You’re at it again. Every time you say that, you’ve actually already more or less agreed.”
Qian Jiaxuan was drinking her milk tea, her grinning appearance making Yu Linna really want to hit her. This little bastard, saying such a big truth. Didn’t she want face?
…
After finishing her milk tea, Yu Linna and Qian Jiaxuan prepared to go back. Yu Linna planned to go back and write her manuscript properly, to shut herself in. You ask why she didn’t go out to play? That was because she didn’t know where to go. She was more suited to be a hikikomori. Compared to a lively place, a quiet place was more suitable for her. For so many years, she had also developed the habit of not joining in the fun. As for why, that was because she had no money before.
She was chatting with Qian Jiaxuan on the road and didn’t notice any problems at all.
Behind her was a car. The driver was wearing sunglasses, and slowly put on a mask. He aimed at the blonde girl, and then stepped on the accelerator.
Whoosh!
That car flew at an extremely fast speed.
At that moment, Yu Linna did not feel any danger.
“Be careful!!”
Qian Jiaxuan suddenly reacted in time and hurriedly pulled Yu Linna to the side. That car had just run over the spot where Yu Linna had been standing. If she had been off by just one centimeter, Yu Linna’s whole person would have been sent flying.
“Dammit…”
The driver in sunglasses saw that the target had already dodged. It was impossible for him to turn back and hit her again. That would be too obvious. There was only one chance. Since it was already lost, there was nothing to be done. The driver had no choice but to speed up and flee the scene.
Yu Linna’s face was pale with fear. Just now, if she had been a little careless, she might have really been sent flying.
“What is that idiot driver doing? Doesn’t he look at the road! If you drive that fast, be careful of seeing the Buddha!”
Qian Jiaxuan had properly protected Yu Linna, constantly cursing that car just now. In her eyes, that car was really an idiot. Who would drive like that? What a madman.
Yu Linna was still in a state of shock. She hugged Qian Jiaxuan tightly. For some reason, she had a very bad feeling.
It was as if she had been targeted by a hunter.
“Let’s go back quickly.”
She said so.
Although that’s what they did, about ten minutes later, another situation arose.
When Yu Linna was walking in the residential area, a flower pot had suddenly fallen from above, right at Yu Linna’s head. If it weren’t for Yu Linna’s quick reaction to dodge, that flower pot would have cracked on Yu Linna’s head on the spot. Yu Linna looked at the shattered flower pot at her feet, and she was a little scared.
“Where did this idiot come from, throwing flower pots all over the place! I’m reporting you people!”
At that moment, Qian Jiaxuan was angry. She immediately contacted the residential area’s manager and reported that the people here were randomly throwing flower pots. She believed that this matter would also be on the news, and the people here would be condemned. After all, Yu Linna was a public figure. But unexpectedly, this matter did not make the news later.
The more Yu Linna thought about it, the more she felt that something was not right.
To encounter two things that wanted her life in one day, it was not natural no matter how you thought about it. She had a premonition that these things seemed to be aimed at her. But she hoped that it was because she had written too many novels and liked to let her imagination run wild. How could there be such a sudden thing in the world?
But Yu Linna looked at the broken flower pot on the ground. She just had a very bad feeling, as if she had been targeted by someone. She thought that maybe she was really being neurotic.
She returned to her own home and basically entered a closed state, not going out much. She also felt a little panicked. It was better not to go out. She had returned the plane ticket and had agreed to take Wenqing’s plane. She felt that things would get better if she went to England.
The current Yu Linna had almost finished her work. As for the script, she had already written it. As long as someone was willing to start filming, then her script would be meaningful. And as for the novel, it was selling normally, and the sales were considerable. The official The Smile of the Rose wanted to film a fifth season as a conclusion. Yu Linna had verbally agreed to return, but the start of filming was not yet decided. Beast Game was scheduled for November. As a screenwriter and investor, Yu Linna had also agreed to the guest appearance invitation of Happy Fries’ The Millionaire Heir, as well as the guest appearance plan of Hu Qing and An Xiayue’s new movie Drifting Universe. The rest was the filming plan of Demon Child. The other party’s idea was to release it in March of the following year.
As for the novel, someone had come to buy the IP. Yu Linna would talk to them later. It would be settled soon. Yu Linna would not make the same mistake as with Ballad of the Enchantress again.
In her free time, Ye Zhiyun had looked for her, in the form of WeChat.
◇ Leaf: Are you there?
◇ Leaf: Can we have a video call?
When she saw this, she hesitated for a long time, but in the end, she still decided to agree.
◇ NA Nana: Whatever.
And then, a second later, Ye Zhiyun had sent a video invitation. Yu Linna had answered. In the video, Ye Zhiyun seemed to be sitting in her office, her face a little nervous. When she saw Yu Linna, she had forced herself to cheer up and had shown a smile.
“Nana. The things I sent, did you receive them?”
“Mmm, I did.”
“Did you eat them? How were they?”
“The taste is not bad. You can tell they’re all brand names. They must have been quite expensive.”
“As long as you like it! I’ll send more next time!”
“Eh… that’s not necessary.”
Ye Zhiyun was really trying every means to please her. That proud her, now her posture was actually so low, like a simp. It was really puzzling to Yu Linna.
“Zhiyun, you don’t have to do this. It’s useless to waste your time on me. I’ve already told you clearly that I don’t like you now, not as much as before. If you say we can be ordinary friends, I think that’s fine. At least if you come to my place, I’ll still cook for you, to do my part as a host with a friend’s attitude. I don’t think you need to please me like this. I’m not joking. I’m being very direct.”
Yu Linna was eating chocolate and talking to her. After hearing this, Ye Zhiyun’s face dimmed. She must have been very hurt. Yu Linna didn’t care. She was just that kind of personality. If she didn’t like it, she wouldn’t waste so much time with you. She had very clearly rejected the other party.
“Don’t worry. I will definitely not give up.”
“There’s no need, really.”
“It was my fault before. It’s only right that you do this. Don’t worry. I’m not that easy to give up. I’ll still send you things. It’s just a pity I’m busy with work. When I’m free, I’ll definitely find you.”
The phone was hung up. Yu Linna ate her chocolate and felt a wave of speechlessness. She really felt that there was no need for her to be like this. What was the point?
But…
The things she had sent were quite delicious.
