Chapter 11: Naturally Opposed
Life is always full of drama. One moment you’re struggling to make ends meet, the next you might be on the verge of fame. Yu Linna considered herself lucky. Although she was poor and lacked a good family background, she was beautiful!
Because of her decent looks, she was given an opportunity. If she wasn’t pretty, she wouldn’t have had this chance. Without this opportunity, who knows where Yu Linna would be. In any case, she was incredibly lucky to have earned this extra income.
Maybe I’m a star in the making!
Yu Linna started daydreaming again.
This penniless, talentless girl who dared to dream was just that – average. However, it was indeed a blessing from heaven that she was able to get 500 yuan so easily. She didn’t do anything, just sat there, made a few expressions, and bam, 500 yuan in hand.
This money was enough for her to eat for a while and even cover her rent. Yu Linna was overjoyed.
As she left the film set, she wondered if she should celebrate by buying some good groceries and cooking a delicious meal. After all, she had been eating instant noodles for so long that she was sick of them. If she didn’t have some meat soon, she might die.
With this in mind, she decided to go to a nearby supermarket to buy some decent vegetables and meat to reward herself.
“Huh?”
Suddenly, as she entered the supermarket, a girl’s figure caught her eye.
This girl had long legs and beautiful black hair. Her delicate face was even prettier than the stars on TV. If someone said she wasn’t wearing any makeup, no one would believe it.
“It’s you, the girl who’s involved with Muqing.”
“Uh…”
Yu Linna felt like she had run into some bad luck, encountering her again.
“I remember… your name is Ye, Ye… Ye Zilü.” (lü means green)
“It’s Ye Zhiyun! You’re the one who’s green!”
Ye Zhiyun’s nose was practically steaming, her face livid. This girl was still so annoying!
“Oh, right, Ye Zhiyun, that’s the name.”
“You totally didn’t get it right just now.”
“Listen, the incident this morning was a misunderstanding. I have nothing to do with your childhood friend. You can rest assured.”
“Hmph, as if I need an explanation from a blonde loser like you. You wouldn’t even dare.”
“First of all, please don’t call me a blonde loser. I may be blonde, but I’m not a dog. Call me Yu Linna.”
This little blonde, small chest, but big guts. She actually dares to provoke me.
Very well, Ye Zhiyun decided to teach her a lesson. What lesson? Certainly not a green one. Tch! Who told you that’s what I meant?
“Ye Zhiyun, what are you doing? Why are you coming closer? I’m warning you, I’ve had training!”
“Oh really? I’ve had training too. Want to see my taekwondo rank certificate?”
“Y-you, stay back! What do you want?”
“To teach you a lesson.”
From the very beginning, Ye Zhiyun disliked Yu Linna.
She didn’t like this girl who suddenly appeared. She wanted to teach this little girl a lesson, show her who’s boss. Otherwise, she might think the sun shines out of her ass.
Yu Linna was dumbfounded. Who knew this girl, Ye Zhiyun, would be so aggressive, actually stepping closer and closer. Yu Linna had no fighting experience! What if this girl did something to her? Could she even fight back?! Suddenly, a hand grabbed Ye Zhiyun’s wrist. Ye Zhiyun was about to struggle but saw the person’s face. It was a slightly anxious face, even showing concern, but those concerned eyes weren’t looking at Ye Zhiyun.
“Zhiyun, stop making things difficult for her, okay? She didn’t do anything wrong.”
Ye Zhiyun lowered her head.
They had only known each other for less than a day, why would this man speak up for someone else? Ye Zhiyun was truly unwilling to accept this. They were the ones who had known each other the longest, shouldn’t they be the ones who understood each other the most? Why didn’t he even understand such a simple principle?
If she really wanted to hurt Yu Linna, would she resort to just scaring her? Absolutely not. She was just trying to intimidate her, to warn her to stay away from her childhood friend.
But…
She was still too naive.
“Let go, Muqing.”
“Zhiyun, listen to me…”
“Let go!”
Ye Zhiyun had a temper. She forcefully shook off his hand, her tone turning unfriendly.
Ye Zhiyun was proud. She would never allow her belongings to be taken away. What belonged to her was hers, and no one could take it away, unless it didn’t belong to her in the first place.
“What’s wrong, Zhiyun? Why are you so angry…?”
“You blockhead!”
Ye Zhiyun was truly furious. This guy was good in every way except for his low EQ. He didn’t understand even this simple principle.
Yu Linna innocently retreated. It seemed she shouldn’t have interrupted the two of them. Her unintentional appearance made Ye Zhiyun feel threatened, treating her as the greatest enemy, even though Yu Linna herself had no such intentions.
If you asked Yu Linna if she liked men, she would definitely say no. Although she had lived as a female for more than ten years, she still retained some memories of being male in her past life. She would rather be alone than marry a man.
But how could Ye Zhiyun possibly know these thoughts?
“Um, please calm down, you two…”
“Shut up, blonde loser! Don’t think you’ve won!”
“I… what did I do wrong again…?”
Yu Linna felt incredibly wronged. These days, even having blonde hair was a crime. Someone should apologize to all the blondes in the world!
She wasn’t a blonde loser; she should be a yellow-haired… something!
Ugh! She wouldn’t steal anyone’s man! Stop thinking nonsense!
“I apologize on behalf of my childhood friend. I’m very sorry, she’s not usually like this. Please don’t take offense.”
“It’s okay.”
“My name is Li Muqing, I’m eighteen years old. I’m sorry for any offense. How about I treat you to a meal as an apology?”
“A meal? Great, I’m in! I’m Yu Linna, and you’re my bro from now on.”
Hearing that there was a free meal, Yu Linna didn’t want to buy groceries anymore. She would just freeload. Since this boy offered to treat her, it would be a waste not to accept. Her goal was just a free meal.
“Hey, Li Muqing, what are you doing?!”
“We’ve caused her a lot of trouble, so we should treat her to a meal. Zhiyun, you should come too and apologize to her.”
It had to be said that this boy, Li Muqing, was well-mannered and knew how to behave. He took responsibility for his friend’s actions without hesitation. Such behavior would make him seem like a good young man in the eyes of elders.
But he forgot that this wasn’t in front of elders.
Inviting another girl in front of a girl could easily lead to misunderstandings, especially for someone as perceptive as Ye Zhiyun, whose face turned green at this moment.
Although she knew this blockhead wouldn’t have any romantic intentions, she still wanted to explode!
So openly inviting another girl, wasn’t this clearly asking for trouble?! If he didn’t have any ulterior motives, why would he invite a girl he didn’t know? If he wasn’t so seemingly honest, she would have thought he was trying to hook up!
“First, I need to clarify, I’m only going for the free meal.”
Before going to eat, Yu Linna specifically explained, but whether Ye Zhiyun listened was another matter.
“Eh, so you’re from the City Experimental High School.”
“Yeah, although we’re from different schools, we can still be considered acquaintances. You can treat me as a friend.”
“Alright, let’s exchange contact information. Treat me to more meals in the future.”
“Haha, a few meals are no big deal. By the way, although Zhiyun seems difficult to get along with, she’s actually a good person. I hope you can forgive her for her earlier behavior.”
Ye Zhiyun watched the two chatting from behind. Although their conversation was trivial, and there was no sign of romantic interest between them, Ye Zhiyun was still angry! Ready to explode at any moment!
She really hated this Yu Linna!
Yu Linna was her enemy from the start. From the very beginning, they were destined to never be friends! Ye Zhiyun was extremely annoyed. She didn’t like Yu Linna at all! Her appearance had taken everything away from her, and she was unhappy!
Even during the meal, Ye Zhiyun remained silent, glaring at Yu Linna, practically wanting to kill her. Yu Linna didn’t care; she focused on finishing this free meal. She loved free food; it saved her so much money.
As the host, Li Muqing generously ordered several dishes, both meat and vegetables. Yu Linna, a meat lover, was in bliss. She ate large chunks of meat, enjoying her meal heartily. She responded to Li Muqing’s attempts at conversation with perfunctory “mms,” only caring about the food.
Ye Zhiyun ate elegantly, her dislike for Yu Linna growing.
This girl is like a country bumpkin, with no table manners at all.
As someone from a wealthy family, she couldn’t stand such behavior.
After the meal, there were still quite a few leftovers. Li Muqing didn’t plan to continue eating and was about to pay the bill when Yu Linna stood up and called the waiter.
“Waiter, I’d like to take all of this to go.”
“Certainly, miss.”
Ye Zhiyun was speechless.
Just how shameless could this girl be?!
Someone treated her to a meal, and she actually packed the leftovers to take home!
Did she have no shame?!
“Li Muqing, you don’t mind, right?”
“Of course not, it’s my treat, haha.”
Ye Zhiyun almost coughed up blood. What was her clueless childhood friend doing?!
Yu Linna happily took the packed food and left the restaurant, bidding farewell to the two and going to find a bus. Great, with so much food, it was enough for her to eat for a whole day. She saved tonight’s food expenses and tomorrow’s as well. What a great harvest!
“I will never eat with that Yu Linna again.”
“You still have a problem with her?”
“You blockhead, you understand nothing!”
Miss Ye didn’t want to talk about her anymore and stormed off angrily. A perfectly good day was ruined by that Yu Linna. She would remember this grudge. She would definitely not let Yu Linna off the hook.
“Zhiyun, are you going back?”
“I’m going to visit Murong’s film set. I invested in it, so of course I have to check on it.”
“I’ll go with you.”
“Just go home. What are you coming for? Go away.”
“Oh, okay.”
“…Seriously? You’re actually leaving.”
Ye Zhiyun had the worst day ever.
