Chapter 6
Chu Yu opened the front door, and when she saw Lin Yi standing outside, she instinctively froze.
Lin Yi had changed clothes. She was wearing a cropped jacket and fitted jeans, her beautiful long hair simply pinned behind her head, exposing that swan-like, slender neck right in front of Chu Yu.
Chu Yu smelled that sweet floral fragrance again.
Such sweet pheromones. Such a beautiful person.
Seeing the little dog staring blankly at her, Lin Yi only found it amusing. She curled the corner of her lips and said, “Have you looked enough?”
Only then did Chu Yu come back to herself. Her face flushed instinctively, and she quickly took half a step back, making way for Lin Yi to enter. Then she said, “Sister.”
Lin Yi walked into the house.
This was not her first time coming here.
She had come here once before. Back then, she had just returned to the country and met Chu Yu at an industry gathering. At that time, Chu Yu had not yet shown any of her mad desires. She had only smiled at Lin Yi while pouring herself glass after glass of alcohol.
Lin Yi could no longer remember how many glasses she had drunk that night. She only remembered that she had been badly drunk, her head spinning.
Then Chu Yu had driven her here.
The furnishings here seemed no different from the ones in her memory.
Right there on the sofa in the living room, Chu Yu had pinned her beneath her, pressing hard against her Omega gland as she coldly questioned why Lin Yi had abandoned her and left.
“I like you, Lin Yi. I like you so much I’m going insane!”
She lowered her head, about to bite Lin Yi’s gland.
Lin Yi raised her hand and slapped Chu Yu across the face, then lifted her leg and kicked Chu Yu in the stomach, flipping her over and kicking her down onto the floor. Coldly, she said, “I know. That is exactly why, three years ago, I had to leave this place.”
Chu Yu looked at her coldly.
“Tonight, I’ll pretend nothing happened. If there’s a next time, I’ll call the police.”
The good news was that after that, there was never another instance of sexual harassment.
The bad news was that after that, Chu Yu went mad.
But perhaps it was only Lin Yi’s illusion. The paranoid, crazed Chu Yu in her memories seemed very difficult to connect with the cautious little dog standing in front of her now.
Although she and the Chu Yu in Lin Yi’s memory had the same face, they were completely two different people.
Lin Yi was very clear on this point.
To be honest, the current Chu Yu was actually somewhat like the Chu Yu she had first known.
The Chu Yu she had known before she went abroad.
That was also why she was willing to come once more to this place that had once hurt her.
She wanted to confirm this.
“Sister, sit down first. I’ll go serve the food,” Chu Yu said.
Lin Yi nodded and walked over to the sofa. The next second, her gaze was drawn to the scattered storyboard drafts on the table.
She picked them up and began flipping through them page by page.
When she reached the ending and saw the girl chasing the sun, and the girl asleep on the mountaintop, she froze slightly.
She had received the script for Eden before, but only the first half.
This was her first time seeing the complete script for this film.
When she had read the first half, she had never imagined that the second half would develop like this.
She had also never imagined that what this film was writing about… was actually the story of Chu Yu and herself.
If this film were made… she could even already imagine what kind of uproar it would cause in media reports.
Over the years, her relationship with Chu Yu had always been a headline in entertainment news.
Speculation about how Chu Yu tormented her, about where the hatred between them truly came from, about their past, about their future… Those magazines could write ten thousand words of love, hatred, resentment, and entanglement.
She had never cared about any of it, because she knew that everything those magazines wrote was fake.
But if this film were made…
She suddenly felt a little afraid.
This was practically cutting open her own heart and laying it bare for others to see.
The storyboards and script for the first half of the film were only fragmented pieces, but the second half cleverly fused all those pieces together. Not only that, it also made all the suppressed emotions erupt completely at the moment of sunrise on the mountaintop.
Then came that beautiful long take.
Release. Release…
The love they had never had time to say out loud, the dreams they had never had time to chase together, were all being released, released, released in that long shot of endless running…
Her fingers slowly brushed over the girl sleeping on the mountaintop.
This girl was the Chu Yu she knew.
The Chu Yu who had once made her heart stir.
In her, Lin Yi could not see any paranoid madness. Replacing it… was warmth like the sun, and gentleness like a spring breeze.
Everyone was chasing the sun.
But how many people could realize a little earlier that the sun had been right beside them all along?
Lin Yi pursed her lips.
A scream came from the kitchen.
She came back to herself and walked into the kitchen, only to see Chu Yu staring sadly at the rice cooker in front of her.
“What’s wrong?” Lin Yi asked.
“Sister…” Chu Yu said in a small voice. “I forgot to press the cook button.”
Lin Yi walked forward and saw that inside the rice cooker, the rice was still rice and the water was still water. It had not turned into cooked rice at all.
She could not help laughing. She reached out, closed the rice cooker lid, and pressed the cook button. “What’s there to scream about? Just cook it now.”
Chu Yu blinked. “Sister, you’re not angry?”
Celebrities’ schedules were always very busy, especially for a Best Actress–level celebrity like Lin Yi. Every minute and every second was extremely precious.
Back when Chu Yu had worked as a script supervisor on sets, she had suffered plenty because those directors and actors always liked changing the time at the last minute.
So after a few times, Chu Yu’s sense of time had already been trained to perfection.
Although Lin Yi had promised her dinner time, Chu Yu naturally should have prepared everything before Lin Yi arrived, instead of making Lin Yi keep her company while the rice cooked.
Lin Yi smiled. “It’s fine. I have plenty of time tonight. Besides, I’m not hungry yet.”
She suddenly stepped closer to Chu Yu.
Chu Yu instinctively retreated a few steps, but she had already been standing by the wall to begin with. Very soon, her back pressed against the cold tiles, and there was nowhere left to retreat.
Lin Yi reached out and hooked a finger under Chu Yu’s collar. Those beautiful peach-blossom eyes shifted with light, her dark pupils glittering with tiny flecks of brightness, as if a moving stream of spring water flowed through them…
Chu Yu felt as though her entire being was about to drown in Lin Yi’s beautiful peach-blossom eyes.
Lin Yi was looking at her.
She could even see her own reflection in Lin Yi’s eyes.
That moving scent of cherry blossom petals lingered around her nose again. Chu Yu had no choice but to bite down hard on her lower lip, biting it pale, biting it until it hurt, in order to stop herself from releasing too many pheromones.
Sharing a room with an Omega, yet being unable to control her own pheromones… that would be far too rude.
She was trying to ease her relationship with the beautiful Sister! Not make the beautiful Sister hate her even more!
The little dog’s determined yet restrained expression made Lin Yi unable to hold back a laugh.
Chu Yu froze slightly, feeling as if the mental defenses she had finally built up were about to collapse completely because of that smile.
“Sister.” The little dog stared at her blankly and murmured, “You’re really beautiful.”
She forgot to rein in her pheromones.
A cold, woody fragrance instantly surrounded Lin Yi.
Lin Yi frowned slightly. Chu Yu’s pheromones seemed to make even her breathing quicken a little.
Perhaps teasing an Alpha who was openly in love with her was not the correct choice.
But teasing her little dog required no worry at all.
Because her little dog would always place her in the most important position.
Sure enough, when the little dog saw Lin Yi frown, she immediately woke as if from a dream, a trace of panic flashing through her eyes.
The next second, Chu Yu quickly gathered her thoughts and worked hard to control her pheromones, secretly cursing herself in her heart. She only smiled at you, and you already started imagining things! Chu Yu, you really are a pervert!
“Sister, what were you going to say just now?” the little dog asked.
She seemed to be trying to change the subject and end this moment that was almost sparking into something dangerous.
But Lin Yi was not prepared to let her off. She smiled faintly and said softly, “I said I’m not hungry yet. What about you? Are you hungry?”
That sentence was far too ambiguous…
Especially when this sentence came from the girl she liked.
Chu Yu instinctively swallowed.
Lin Yi laughed again.
“I, I’m not hungry either,” Chu Yu stammered.
Just then, the steam oven behind them suddenly chimed. It was the sound announcing that the taro steamed ribs Chu Yu had scheduled in the steam oven earlier were done cooking.
The little dog said in a fluster, “I’ll go bring out the food.”
She urgently wanted to escape from this ambiguous atmosphere that had made her face red and heart race, but she did not notice that the robot vacuum had just happened to come over to work there. The moment she lifted her leg, she was tripped by the robot vacuum…
“Careful,” Lin Yi immediately said.
She instinctively reached out to help Chu Yu.
Chu Yu also instinctively grabbed Lin Yi’s arm. When anyone fell, they would instinctively grab the nearest thing to them. This was the human body’s self-protection mechanism.
Lin Yi was unprepared. In an instant, her center of gravity shifted, and she was pulled down by Chu Yu, falling to the floor.
Chu Yu also fell to the ground, but she did not feel any pain.
She seemed to have fallen onto something soft. Her face was deeply buried in it. Such an enchanting touch, such warm body heat, such a lovely shape…
That sweet cherry blossom fragrance lingered around her nose again. Whether it was her imagination or not, the fragrance seemed even richer now.
The little dog, who had never had any resistance toward Lin Yi’s pheromones, instinctively took a deep breath, sinking into this soft, sweet warmth and reluctant to lift her head.
Then she heard Lin Yi let out a soft moan.
“How long are you going to stay buried there?” Lin Yi said softly.
…Buried?
Only then did the little dog belatedly realize where she had fallen…
Although there were clothes between them, this was honestly rather ambiguous…
The little dog’s face instantly turned bright red. She quickly climbed up and stammered, “Sister, I…”
Lin Yi’s face was also a little red. She pursed her lips and said, “Aren’t you going to pull me up?”
The little dog’s eyes lit up, and she immediately took Lin Yi’s hand.
