After Rebirth, My Ex-Girlfriend Became Obsessive - Chapter 103
When the first snow of winter fell, An Yu had fully recovered from her cold. At the same time, the variety show “Journey Together” , which the two had agreed to participate in, was about to begin filming.
As the name suggested, “Journey Together” was a slow-paced travel variety show. The program consisted of two permanent hosts and four guest stars. Each trip featured different locations, different guests, and unique experiences. Together, they would admire the scenery and savor local delicacies. The serene and poetic atmosphere presented in the show had captivated many viewers.
Unlike “Hello, Friend!” , “Journey Together” was not broadcast live but was pre-recorded. However, leaked photos from filming only heightened the audience’s anticipation.
With high expectations, the show’s popularity soared.
Thus, when An Yu and Lin Duxi’s names were announced on the show’s official Weibo, the already highly anticipated program drew even more attention. Comments under the post multiplied instantly.
[Wife-wife variety show!]
[I’ve missed seeing them together for so long! I’m so hyped-ready to be fed sweet, face-slapping dog food again!]
[Calm down, person above.]
[The wives are appearing together in a variety show! The only downside is that it’s not live-we’ll have to wait so long from filming to broadcast!]
[They’re actually doing another show together?! Ever since I found out Lin Duxi and An Yu were each other’s first loves in high school, I’ve been obsessed with how pure their love is! I’m addicted-I ship them so hard!]
Meanwhile, the so-called “pure” couple was already preparing to depart.
According to the show’s script, they would be filming at a snowy mountain in the north. Winters there were bitterly cold, especially near the mountains, so the two had packed thick winter clothes in advance.
After landing at the airport, before even stepping outside, they could already feel the piercing chill. They quickly pulled on their down jackets, just as the production crew spotted them.
“Teacher An, Teacher Lin, this way, please,” a staff member said. Beside them stood a cameraman-filming had already begun.
An Yu and Lin Duxi greeted them briefly before boarding the car to their destination.
The trees lining the streets were bare, creating a desolate scene. Even with the car’s heater on, the cold still seeped in. An Yu instinctively tightened her coat.
Yet, amidst the bleak surroundings, the distant snow-capped mountains captured everyone’s attention.
“We’re heading to a homestay at the foot of that mountain. It’ll take a while to get there, so feel free to rest for now,” a staff member said.
Lin Duxi and An Yu glanced at the towering mountain, then at each other, before smiling and turning their gazes back to the scenery outside.
The staff member, observing the unbreakable bond between the two, couldn’t help but grin like a proud matchmaker.
An hour later, the car arrived at a high-end homestay. As soon as they stepped out, the majestic snow-capped mountain loomed before them. The snow at its peak blended seamlessly with the barren surroundings, creating a strangely harmonious sight.
An Yu was momentarily entranced, only snapping out of it when Lin Duxi zipped up her jacket for her.
“It’s cold outside,” Lin Duxi said firmly. An Yu had just recovered from her cold-she couldn’t afford to be careless.
An Yu lowered her gaze, her lips curving into a smile.
The director, waiting at the entrance, quickly ushered them inside.
“Teacher An, Teacher Lin, we’ll be staying at this homestay for the next few days. Here are your room keys. From your room, you’ll have a full view of the entire mountain-it’s breathtaking,” the director said.
An Yu took the key, and she and Lin Duxi headed upstairs. Their room was on the second floor, to the right. Since they were a couple, the director had naturally arranged for them to share a room without asking.
After setting down their luggage, An Yu’s attention was immediately drawn to the massive floor-to-ceiling window in the living room. She walked over and pulled back the curtains-the towering mountain stood before her, majestic and mysterious. She froze, captivated.
“So beautiful,” she murmured.
Lin Duxi followed her gaze and was equally mesmerized by the view. An Yu stood in the center, bathed in light that split around her, casting a soft glow over her figure. Against the backdrop of the snow-capped mountain, she looked pure, almost sacred.
“Should we head downstairs?” An Yu turned to ask her. Backlit, her expression was hard to discern, but Lin Duxi, lost in her thoughts, nodded instinctively.
An Yu chuckled, then took Lin Duxi’s hand and led her to the couch.
“Was it really that captivating?” An Yu teased, tucking a loose strand of hair behind Lin Duxi’s ear, revealing her flawless face.
Lin Duxi snapped out of her daze, her ears turning red at An Yu’s playful tone. An Yu’s eyes softened at the sight.
Lin Duxi buried her face in An Yu’s chest and mumbled, “Yes. Very captivating.”
An Yu’s smile deepened, but then she recalled the complex emotions in Lin Duxi’s gaze earlier. Her expression darkened slightly.
“What were you thinking about just now?” she asked gently.
Lin Duxi shook her head. She had simply been struck by the thought that An Yu was with her now-that they would witness countless scenes like this together in the future. The memories of their past life lingered, resurfacing at times, making her cherish every moment with An Yu even more.
She couldn’t bear the thought of being separated from her again.
Perhaps Jiang Yu was right-An Yu was her salvation.
An Yu didn’t press further when Lin Duxi didn’t respond. Instead, she turned her gaze back to the mountain. For some reason, she imagined Lin Duxi standing at its base-her skin paler than the snow, her dark hair contrasting sharply against the white. The mental image alone was enough to take her breath away.
She had brought her drawing tablet in her luggage. Though it was heavy, the urge to capture this scene erased all thoughts of fatigue.
Since it was getting late, they decided to paint the next day. For now, they followed the director’s instructions and headed downstairs to meet the other guests.
All six participants had arrived. The two permanent hosts greeted them warmly, while the other two guest stars-the male and female leads of a currently airing drama-were equally excited to meet them.
“Teacher Lin, Teacher An, I’m Chen Qi-I’m your… fan!” the actress said excitedly, barely stopping herself from saying “shipper” at the last second.
An Yu and Lin Duxi exchanged amused glances.
“Thank you,” they replied.
Chen Qi shook their hands, barely containing her excitement as she returned to her seat.
Once everyone was seated, one of the permanent hosts began explaining the schedule.
“Over the next few days, we’ll explore the local scenery, visit historical sites, promote the culture, and enjoy the views-all to share the beauty of this place with our audience,” he summarized.
An Yu raised an eyebrow.
By the middle of the meal, the group had warmed up to each other, chatting freely. An Yu wasn’t particularly talkative, but she responded whenever someone spoke to her, and soon, she was engaged in multiple conversations.
Just as she was about to take a sip of soup after talking with Chen Qi, she suddenly felt a tickle at her waist. She looked down but saw nothing-only catching Lin Duxi’s indifferent expression from the corner of her eye.
Realization dawned. An Yu set down her spoon and reached for Lin Duxi’s hand.
Lin Duxi tried to pull away, but An Yu persisted, tangling their fingers together until Lin Duxi relented, allowing their hands to interlock.
Lin Duxi lowered her eyes, staring at her plate. The faint jealousy and sadness that had begun to rise in her chest dissipated instantly at An Yu’s touch.
The table’s lively chatter continued, their clasped hands hidden from view-except from the ever-watchful camera and Chen Qi, who sat beside An Yu.
As a devoted shipper, Chen Qi had been paying extra attention to the couple. When she noticed their subtle interaction, she nearly squealed.
Clamping a hand over her mouth to hide her grin, her heart raced with excitement.
Watching my ship flirt in real time? This is too much!
