Chapter 55 - 052 Like mist, like wind
Yun Ya hung her head, "Sorry, Teacher Jiang."
Jiang Li looked at Yun Ya’s submissive demeanor, so unlike her lively and playful self in his presence, as if she were a puppet on strings. He unconsciously frowned.
"It’s... okay."
It wasn’t until he was sitting in the car, glancing at the rearview mirror and after hesitating for a long while, that he asked, "Did you deliberately interrupt me just now, didn’t you?"
Yun Ya looked at the scenery outside the window and said faintly, "Teacher, you’re really smart."
Jiang Li couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "Stop teasing your teacher. I still don’t know what you’re up to, what’s your angle?"
"Teacher, I might not stay in the country much longer," Yun Ya suddenly said.
Jiang Li was stunned, "What do you mean?"
Yun Ya clenched Miaomiao’s hand, her eyes yearning as she looked up at the blue sky, a desire for freedom at the bottom of her eyes stirred something in Jiang Li’s heart.
"Before long, I will take Miaomiao abroad."
Jiang Li pursed his lips, suddenly at a loss for words. He felt a sense of loss, but more than that, a sigh. This girl was like mist, like wind, one could never hope to hold her in one’s grasp.
"How long until you return?"
"Maybe soon, maybe a long time..."

As the program’s recording was halfway through, the relationship between Yun Ya and Ming Han gradually warmed up. Ming Han was a fun-loving big boy who couldn’t even dress himself properly, but now he had started to take good care of Yun Ya and Yun Miao’s life. Although there were many jokes during the process, it became one of the highlights of the program. After the broadcast, the huge contrast from the TV screen would certainly attract a lot of fans.
Meanwhile, Yun Ya made three good friends during the program. Over three episodes, Shen Luokui completely became Yun Ya’s little sidekick, happily calling her Sister Yun Ya and taking great care of Yun Miao.
Yue Yi’an was shy and timid, but he opened up like a chatterbox in front of Yun Ya. He was gentle and patient, a warm little buddy who was sure to be a warm man when he grew up.
As for Mai Zheng, the guy always acted aloof and self-important, but after being left out a few times by the group hugs of Shen Luokui and others, he warmed up to Yun Ya when she offered him a bit of kindness. Although he always kept a cold face, he was much better than before.
The atmosphere of the entire program was warm and heartfelt, so much so that every time the recording ended, Shen Luokui would cling to Shen Xudong’s legs, crying his eyes out, while Yue Yi’an didn’t want to leave with teary eyes, and Mai Zheng would secretly hide, not wanting anyone to see his vulnerability.
Yun Ya liked this atmosphere. Though she faced the camera, it was when she felt most relaxed.
Every banquet must come to an end, so she could leave without any regret.
However, before she left this time, Yuan Pan announced a piece of news.
The first episode of the program had been completed and would make its debut on the TV channel during Saturday prime time this week. The TV station would hold a media screening this Friday, and several guests were needed to help boost the event.
Ming Han was tied up with engagements and refused outright, and Mai Jiehui was out of the question, so in the end, it fell to Shen Xudong and Gao He.
If Ming Han wasn’t going, then it had nothing to do with Yun Ya.
The program was about to be aired, and Yun Ya was slightly excited. She was looking forward to seeing Yun Shu’s reaction when she saw it.
Seeing Yun Ya leaving, Ming Han immediately followed her, "Yun Ya, will you miss me?" Yun Ya, completely different on the program and in private, pulled Yun Miao along without looking back, "No."
The two were bound by mutual interests, and calling him ’daddy’ seemed to have gone to his head. Yun Ya thought with derision that this man was sick.
Ming Han felt like he might really be sick, sick with something called Yun Ya syndrome; not seeing her for half a day made him feel uncomfortable.
Seeing Yun Ya’s heartless demeanor, Ming Han felt wronged and pouted, "I’ve been so good to you, yet you are so merciless."
Yun Ya pulled Yun Miao into the car and with a "bang," slammed the door shut.
The agent approached and whispered, "The car is waiting outside; we’ll miss the flight if we’re any later. This fashion show is your first appearance after joining the S·E brand, which will directly affect your future fashion resources. You must not delay."
Ming Han threw a resentful look at the vanishing tail of the car and, feeling helpless, turned around, "Let’s go."
——
There had been no word from Zhuang Xiyue, and Yun Ya thought it must have gotten stuck with Yun Shu.
She hadn’t placed all her hopes on Zhuang Xiyue, so she wasn’t too disappointed.
Uncle Qin called to ask when she would go to his place; he would drive there to pick her up.
"I can’t get away for now, maybe some other time." Yun Shu had been watching her very strictly recently, making it impossible for her to go out alone.
Teacher Jiang was busy with work, and wouldn’t have so much time to accompany her.
"How is Aunt Die doing now?"
"She has calmed down but insists on coming back, saying she’s worried about the two of you. She just took her medicine and has gone to sleep."
"If Aunt Die wakes up, please relay a message to her for me," Yun Ya’s tone was indifferent and cool, like the sun in winter, casting a chilly frost.
"Miaomiao and I will be fine, tell her to take good care of herself."
