Chapter 513: Decisive and Resolute
At night, walking alone on the road, the lights were shining, and cars were passing by one after another. Under the illumination of the car lights, the haggardness on her face was even more obvious. She had her hands in her pockets, walking alone on the street. Occasionally, a few people would notice her, but she herself did not pay much attention. She felt that it was getting harder and harder for her to gain a foothold in this place. The last time she had been so helpless was when she had been signed to a tyrannical contract by Chenghe.
Now, it was happening again.
Chenghe was not going to let her go.
Where on earth could she go? Where could she run to? She couldn’t go anywhere. She just walked and walked like this, completely not knowing what to do. To have offended the biggest power in the country was really not good news for her. She had wanted to get justice for Sister Chen, but she had not expected to be implicated herself.
If only she had the ability, if only she had someone to back her up, she would definitely not be like this. She couldn’t ask Wenqing to give her face. She owed Wenqing too much.
What on earth should she do?
“Linna, what are you doing out here?”
Suddenly, Xiao Yanhan came out from the side. She seemed to have been looking for her for a while, her head covered in sweat. Yu Linna’s eyes had a bit of light, but it quickly dimmed. The people on the road were getting fewer and fewer. This world seemed to be left with only them.
“Yanhan…”
“Shall we go back? It’s not safe for a girl to be outside alone.”
Xiao Yanhan grabbed Yu Linna’s hand and took her back. Yu Linna lowered her head, her heart full of bitterness.
“Linna, is something on your mind?”
“Mmm.”
This time, Yu Linna did not hide it, did not lie, and admitted it. She was also at a dead end. This feeling of helplessness was really hard to bear.
“Can you tell me?”
Yu Linna shook her head.
She did not want to tell this matter to others. Others could know that she was sad, but as for why she was sad, only she herself knew. Xiao Yanhan, seeing her like this, felt a little heartbroken.
“Why… why can’t you just tell me? Am I not important in your heart?”
Yu Linna shook her head.
“Yanhan, you are one of my best friends. I don’t want to bring my troubles to you.”
“What does it matter? I’m willing. I don’t think it’s a trouble at all. But… Linna, I’ve worked so hard, so very hard. But why can’t I be the number one in your heart? You tell me, why can’t you like me?”
Xiao Yanhan turned and hugged her. She had a pile of things she wanted to say, but now she could only say these things. Yu Linna knew what she meant. She had known it a long time ago. Xiao Yanhan liked Yu Linna, but Yu Linna could never respond to her feelings, because Yu Linna had never been moved by her, not even a single bit.
“Linna, I like you. I like you so much. You’re not with that woman, Ye Zhiyun, anymore. Can you just give me a chance? Be with me, okay? I’ll do anything. I’ll dote on you, I’ll protect you. As long as you agree, I’ll do anything.”
“No.”
“Ye Zhiyun can, so why can’t I?”
“You’re a good person, really. But you’re not her after all. You can’t replace her. And I only see you as a friend.”
“Do you know? To see me as a friend is the most direct rejection for me…”
Xiao Yanhan was so heartbroken she was suffocating.
Some feelings, even if you work hard, even if you give, it doesn’t necessarily have a result. In the end, you’ve just moved yourself. Xiao Yanhan was just like this. She had thought that this way, she could get Yu Linna’s true heart, but in fact, this was wrong.
Some feelings cannot be forced. Some people are destined not to be together. No matter how much you force it, it cannot be forced.
“Then just take pity on me. Let me have you for a little while, even if it’s just for a minute.”
Xiao Yanhan lifted Yu Linna’s chin, and in Yu Linna’s plain expression, she slowly leaned her face down. Her lips slowly moved closer to Yu Linna’s. It looked as if her lips were about to touch Yu Linna’s lips. At this moment, no one could disturb them.
Is this really okay? Xiao Yanhan repeatedly asked herself.
It’s fine. Just for a little while is fine. As long as Yu Linna belongs to her at this moment, after today, they will go back to their original tracks. Yes, she didn’t do anything wrong. She just has to possess Yu Linna now. This is not excessive. As long as it’s just for a little while, she just needs this little while.
Yes, as long as now…
Unfortunately, in the end, Yu Linna still refused her.
Yu Linna reached out and blocked Xiao Yanhan’s lips, pulling her head away, and refused her contact.
“Yanhan, that’s enough.”
At this moment, Xiao Yanhan knew that she would never be able to have Yu Linna in her life.
To be able to refuse so completely, where was there still half a chance for Xiao Yanhan?
“Before, I was very hesitant about my feelings, always wavering. That was extremely irresponsible. This time, I don’t want to hesitate anymore. If I don’t like someone, I will properly refuse. It’s as simple as that.”
“Is this your answer?”
“Yes. Yanhan, I’m sorry. I can’t like you after all. To you, I can only be a friend. There are many people you can choose. You don’t have to choose me. I’m just a passerby in your life. I can’t be with you for a lifetime.”
Xiao Yanhan shed tears.
Those tears couldn’t be stopped no matter what, flowing down in a stream. She had said many beautiful words. She had said she wanted to pursue Yu Linna, but she had found that Yu Linna was too far away from her. She simply couldn’t catch up. Yes, this person was too far away from her. No matter how she chased, it was impossible to catch up. Yu Linna had already had another person in her heart from the very beginning. Even if that person was no longer here now, it was also impossible for Xiao Yanhan to take the opportunity to move in. Because Xiao Yanhan could not make Yu Linna’s heart be moved.
This day, she could finally face this reality.
After returning to the dorm, Xiao Yanhan had hidden under her quilt and had cried. Feelings are like this. What you can’t get is always very painful. Yu Linna was not willing to hurt her, but she was also not willing to keep her hanging. Rather than giving her hope, it was better to let her understand her meaning sooner. Everyone is like this. There will always be someone who will experience that kind of love that they want but cannot get. You love her, but she may not love you. Mutual love is not a simple matter.
Lan Ranyan sighed when she saw her like this. This girl, what’s wrong with her? She has to be so persistent in chasing a person who doesn’t like her. The world’s feelings are like this. You love a person to death, but the other party may not be moved by you. Love is not that simple of a thing.
…
This September, the curtain was quietly drawn. Yu Linna also took this time to continue to do her own work. The time she spent at school began to decrease, probably to avoid Xiao Yanhan. During this period, she had gone to the crew of Drifting Universe to complete the filming of her guest appearance. Then she had once again written a script, The Passage of Time, which was also an animated film script. It was about an astronaut who had flown to space and had been separated from his girlfriend on Earth. Then he had experienced wandering in the universe, constantly sending electromagnetic waves to his girlfriend on Earth, telling her the news. In the beginning, they could still communicate with each other. Gradually, the time that passed for the two of them was different. In the end, when the astronaut had returned to Earth after three years of space flight, eighty years had already passed on Earth. His girlfriend had long since been born, had grown old, had gotten sick, and had died. And so this love that had crossed time and space had come to an end.
This was the second time Yu Linna had written a tragic ending script. The other party, with a conflicted look, had still taken it for review and had passed it, and had decided to set up a project to start filming. And this was also the last job that Yu Linna had taken on in her home country.
While Yu Linna was busy with her work, a large group of people online were flaming her. The cause of the matter was the movie she had once refused to film, which involved an insulting plot against her countrymen. Yu Linna just wouldn’t stand up and say anything. And this point was seized by many people. Although it had been clarified that it was fake, the water army was not going to let her go.
Yu Linna had originally wanted to give it the cold shoulder, but after so long, people online were still talking about it, not at all planning to let her go.
And at this time, a guest had come to Guangnan.
“Hello, Linna! I’ve seen you again! I’m so lucky~ This is my first time in China. You have to show me around.”
Stephanie, who had originally been in England, had suddenly said she was coming to China and had bought a plane ticket to fly over. Yu Linna had been in a fluster to pick her up. According to Stephanie, she was going to America to film, but before that, she wanted to come to China first, so she had come over.
“Wow, this is my first time in China. This place is just like what I saw in the newspapers. It’s quite prosperous~ Do you know, Linna? I’m preparing to go to Hollywood. I have a chance to play a supporting role. I have to go and try! But before that, I’m here to find you to play first.”
Stephanie had given her a hug when they had met. After not seeing her for a while, she seemed to have changed. She had permed her long hair into a wavy style and had also done her nails, becoming more mature. In contrast, Yu Linna still looked like a child.
“Welcome, Stephanie. You can stay at my place for these few days. I don’t know if you’re used to the food in China. If you’re not used to it, I’ll cook you an English meal.”
“Hahaha, I’m used to it, I’m used to it. I like delicious food.”
The two of them were talking and laughing, holding hands and going to Yu Linna’s home. This was also a time for Yu Linna to have a short rest. After this, she might be very busy, but at this moment, she was still very happy.
And so, Yu Linna had ushered in her rest period.
…
At the same time.
At this time, Ye Zhiyun was busy filming when a guest had come. After asking around, she had found out that it was Zhu Yiqian. Ye Zhiyun was all sorts of helpless. She really wanted to refuse to meet, but Zhu Yiqian had helped her in her early career. It was impossible not to give her face. She had still met with Zhu Yiqian. Zhu Yiqian was still the same as before, her eyes as if a wolf were looking at a sheep. She sat there, as if she might eat Ye Zhiyun at any moment.
“Miss Zhu, what is the purpose of your visit this time?”
“I feel that the two of us have a fate, and we haven’t cooperated in a long time. This time, you can afford my appearance fee. What do you think?”
“Our lineup has already been confirmed. We are not adding anyone else for the time being. If you are here to talk about this matter, Miss Zhu, I think you have found the wrong person.”
“You’re no fun~ But I’m not just here to talk about this matter today. I have something to tell you. I think you will definitely be interested.”
Zhu Yiqian said so, slowly taking out her cigarette and lighting it.
“If you have anything to say, then just say it.”
“I think you should be quite interested. It’s about that ex-girlfriend of yours. Do you want to hear?”
Her words had instantly lifted Ye Zhiyun’s spirits.
