Chapter 515: I Used to Like Her Very Much
To be caught here by Gao Mingyu was completely unexpected. Although he wanted to muddle through, he, who was not good at lying, did not know how to lie. Seeing his conflicted look, Yu Linna seemed to understand something.
“I get it. You’re picking a gift for a certain girl, right?”
“I-I’m not buying a gift for that trashy woman! Nothing of the sort!”
“I don’t think I said who it was.”
“Eh…”
“By the way, you little brat, aren’t you supposed to be in a competition recently? You still have time to come out?”
Yu Linna had also been paying attention to the esports circle recently. After all, Fang Jiangning was also working in that circle. She would occasionally take a look. She also knew that the team that Gao Mingyu belonged to was in the playoffs, and they were about to select three seed teams to represent the Chinese division to participate in the World Championship. Gao Mingyu was definitely the one who had a chance. Logically speaking, at this time, he should be so busy, and it shouldn’t be a time for a leisurely shopping trip.
The only possibility was that this wild boy wanted to pick up girls.
Gao Mingyu’s face was all red, but he still calmed down, scratched his head, and in the end, sighed as if he had resigned himself to his fate.
“You’re not allowed to tell Mi Aili, you know?”
“Of course I won’t~ So, are you two dating?”
“Shut-shut up… don’t look at me like that. I admit I was gambling that day, but I gambled right. What’s wrong with buying a gift for my girlfriend…”
“Oh ho? Not bad, you stinky brat. Were you the first to confess?”
“Mmm…”
Yu Linna kept teasing this little boy. Gao Mingyu’s face was all red. Yu Linna particularly enjoyed this feeling.
On the contrary, Stephanie, she couldn’t understand a single word and could only pretend to be a fool on the side.
…
In order not to disturb Gao Mingyu, Yu Linna said goodbye to him and went to buy things elsewhere with Stephanie, letting Gao Mingyu concentrate on buying a gift. The two girls continued to go shopping.
“Is that your friend?”
“A friend of mine’s boyfriend. He plays games, the professional kind.”
“Oh, I know a little about that. I also occasionally pay attention to esports events, like LOL? Mmm, I saw the news last year.”
The two of them walked and chatted, their feelings could be said to be deep. It was Stephanie’s first time in China. She wanted to have a good time. Yu Linna always had to do her part as a host. She planned to take her for a good walk around the city, to understand the Chinese culture, and then to be able to like it here.
That’s what Yu Linna thought, that’s right.
But Ye Zhiyun’s arrival had unexpectedly interrupted her plan.
Ye Zhiyun had specially taken leave to come back to Guangnan, saying she was looking for Yu Linna, but had unexpectedly learned that there was an extra person in Yu Linna’s house. Ye Zhiyun’s heart was a little uncomfortable, but she couldn’t do anything about it. She still had to ask her out for a meeting. Yu Linna also had Stephanie stay at home to watch the house.
No matter how annoyed Ye Zhiyun was, she had to temporarily put these things aside. She was here for business.
“Nana, the matter with Chenghe, it’s true, right?”
“Mmm, it’s true. Although I don’t know how you got the information, it’s a wonder you know so clearly.”
“Haven’t you thought of finding someone to help? For example, me.”
Yu Linna said with a wry smile, drinking her own coffee, as if to say, “You don’t understand my difficulties at all.”
“I’ve looked for many people. I’ve looked for the police, and I’ve looked for my friends, but there’s no way. I have no evidence.”
“You’re not going to fight back?”
“Then you tell me how to fight back? With my head? I’ve already experienced the power of Chenghe. At least for now, it’s impossible for me to deal with them.”
Yu Linna said some very helpless words.
Chenghe was a big power after all, and they also had dealings with the government. How could she fight against them? Yu Linna had thought of many ways, but none of them had worked. In the past, she had already suffered a loss at the hands of Chenghe. She still remembered the eighty million penalty very clearly. This time, Chenghe had changed its trick. They wanted Yu Linna to be captured without a fight, but Yu Linna would not obey, so Chenghe had played dirty.
Probably, Chenghe wanted to make it impossible for Yu Linna to stay in China.
Their purpose was very simple. It was just to get revenge on Yu Linna, or rather, to teach her a lesson, to let her know who the real leader was.
“Besides, Zhiyun, you yourself have dealt with the people from Chenghe. They are not good people. It’s not as if you don’t understand this.”
Yes, Chenghe was not a good person, nor was it a reasonable one. To deal with such a company, it was impossible not to be clear. Even if Ye Zhiyun was not dealing with them now, she would surely run into them in the future. After all, they were in the entertainment industry, and they would see each other sooner or later.
“Then what are you planning to do?”
“I will find a way myself, Zhiyun. Thank you for your concern. But this matter has nothing to do with you. You shouldn’t be concerned about this. I’m very grateful that you can think for me, but you don’t have to interfere in this matter. Chenghe is not someone you can deal with either.”
What she said was not wrong. With Ye Zhiyun’s status in the circle, she was no match for Chenghe at all. Even if she pulled out all the power behind Ye Zhiyun, it would not be enough to fight against Chenghe. Chenghe was too powerful, completely not someone they could afford to mess with.
“But you can ask me for help. As long as you say so, I will help you!”
“Thank you, no need.”
“Why?”
“Zhiyun, you’ve also asked this question in the past. Now I’m returning it to you. I’d rather die than have your help.”
“…”
These words, so familiar, were the words that Ye Zhiyun had once said to her. In the past, Ye Zhiyun had a strong self-esteem, could not let go of her own dignity, and had thus hurt Yu Linna.
Now, Yu Linna had returned this sentence to her in its original form.
“You’re still blaming me, right?”
Yu Linna did not speak.
“You’re blaming me, blaming me for not fulfilling my promise back then, and thus hurting you. You haven’t forgiven me. You say you don’t mind, but in fact, you care a lot, right?”
“…Yes.”
“Forget it. It’s also my own fault. It’s my fault.”
The two of them had reached a stalemate.
In the end, after paying the bill, the two of them had parted on bad terms. Ye Zhiyun was walking on the street, her mood as cold as ice. She felt as if she had become a ridiculous clown.
No matter what she did, no matter how she coaxed, Yu Linna would not have a change of heart. She didn’t even give her a chance. Ye Zhiyun felt very sad. What on earth should she do to win back Yu Linna? She was now in a deep state of confusion.
She was even wondering if she could persevere.
What should she do?
Completely no clue.
Yu Linna had also gone back by herself, and had parted ways with Ye Zhiyun early on. She and Ye Zhiyun had only had a love in the past. She no longer liked her now. It was useless to say anything. She admitted that she had liked Ye Zhiyun before, and had still liked her for a long time after the breakup. But later she had truly let go, had put these things down. When she had truly let go, Ye Zhiyun had suddenly turned back.
She was really too much. To not cherish her when they were in love, to say she wanted to leave when she was still in love with her, and when she had truly accepted her departure, she had run back and had knelt down to beg her to get back together.
Ye Zhiyun was really a very excessive person.
It was precisely for this reason that she would no longer rely on Ye Zhiyun, let alone let her into her own world. It was completely unnecessary. Her troubles were her troubles, and would definitely become Ye Zhiyun’s troubles.
“Linna, who was that girl you went out to see today? A best friend?”
After returning home, Stephanie was tidying her clothes and happened to ask.
“She is my ex-girlfriend.”
Yu Linna was not at all secretive and directly stated Ye Zhiyun’s identity. Stephanie had even spat.
“Um, if I heard correctly, you were a couple before? A girl and a girl?”
“Yes, we were briefly together before and broke up in March of this year.”
“So long ago… but it’s a wonder you’re still in contact.”
Stephanie found it incredible. It was her first time seeing a real-life yuri. Because she had never seen one before. And this person, Yu Linna, didn’t seem to be the type to be with a girl. But things were always unexpected, full of too many accidents.
“I used to like her very much.”
Yu Linna said.
“Super like, the kind that I liked very much. I once thought of forming a family with her, and then living happily ever after. I once really thought so.”
“Then why did you separate? You clearly liked her so much.”
“Feelings are just like that. Without mutual understanding, without mutual respect, all that’s left is fatigue. It’s useless to like her anymore. She didn’t cherish me. I won’t forgive her.”
“Eh…”
From Yu Linna’s eyes, she saw a corpse-like feeling. It was a kind of look without any emotion. It was the first time Stephanie had seen such a Yu Linna. In terms of feelings, was Yu Linna originally such a person? And she had even said she would not forgive her. Just how serious was it?
“It was she who hurt me. It was she who said she wanted to break up. And then she came back like a dog and knelt down to beg me to get back together. It’s impossible to even think about it. For me to accept her again is impossible. I will not forgive her.”
“Do you hate her?”
“I don’t hate her. But I cannot forgive the bastard woman of the past who always ignored me, cursed me, and even left me on the side. I can treat her as a friend, but definitely not a good friend. This is my biggest concession.”
Stephanie sighed. As for matters of love, how could she know so much? She wasn’t clear, nor had she experienced it. It could only be said that she was an outsider.
…
Yu Linna temporarily put aside Ye Zhiyun, and also temporarily put aside Chenghe, and concentrated on doing her own things. To complete her own live stream, she first discussed it with Fang Jiangning.
“A live stream? That’s simple. You can do it at home by yourself. I’m too busy with work and have no time to live stream with you. You can try to live stream by yourself. You can stream yourself playing games or drawing.”
Fang Jiangning had given her a suggestion, and Yu Linna had also found it reasonable. During this period of time, she had indeed been flamed very seriously. She needed to change her public opinion. Perhaps a live stream would be quite helpful. And everyone also liked to see beautiful women. Yu Linna shamelessly classified herself as a beautiful woman.
She had asked Stephanie for help. Stephanie had helped her get the props needed for the live stream, and then Yu Linna had posted on Weibo that she was going to have a live stream, hoping that everyone would come and watch. This news had also attracted the attention of many people online, and the fans were all looking forward to the arrival of the live stream.
And this live stream was also Yu Linna’s last live stream in her home country.
