Supporting Role’s Aura

Arc 2.5 : Getting Angry

—

The qualifiers began. All the models stood on the stage with number plates attached to their waists. Then the judges gave points before they were voted by a voting group composed of people from the world’s fashion industry.

Only twenty designers will be selected in the qualifiers to enter the finals together with the top twenty of the previous competition. Therefore, to stand out among so many costumes, it was necessary to rely on strength, connections, or luck. And Ye You has all of these, so entering the final was nothing suspenseful for him at all.

After Ye You got the final card from the representative of the organizer, he walked to Lu Ning and said, “Let’s wait for the competition in the final. Let’s see how me, as a designer who participated for the first time, compare to  you, a designer who has participated in many competitions. But if I accidentally rank higher than yours, I don’t know that your Lu family will be embarrassed or not to let the domestic media brag about your design talents?”

Ye You pretended to think seriously and said: “I think I can’t underestimate too much. You and your Lu family have a thick skin. Even if my ranking is higher than yours, your Lu family will definitely find a way to buy into the media, but only reporting and promoting you alone, am I right?”

“I don’t know what shit luck you have that you were lucky enough to enter the finals, and you dare to imagine that your ranking will be ahead of me.” Lu Ning said with a mocking smile: “I advise you to stop dreaming, otherwise when your dreams are shattered, it will only be even more uncomfortable.”

“It makes sense.” Ye You nodded and said, “Although you are the one who is more uncomfortable now, let’s wait and see who will be the one more uncomfortable in the future.”

After Ye You finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Ning’s stomach again. Lu Ning immediately backed away with his hands protecting his stomach. The assistants and bodyguards behind him also immediately stepped forward and stood on his left and right to protect him.

Ye You looked at his defensive look and smiled, then turned around and led his people away.

Lu Ning endured his anger and kept calming his emotions in his heart. He told himself that he must not get angry, otherwise the child in his stomach will be uncomfortable. He must let the child be born in a safe and healthy conditions, absolutely can’t fell into Ye You’s trick to make him have a symptoms of miscarriage.

After Lu Ning waited for his emotions to gradually stabilized, he thought in his heart that this time their Lu family did their best to bring together the best works that all the designers of the company can produce and bring them together for the competition. There were great hope for being able to get into the top 20 this time. When the time comes, let the major media reported it, and it will surely restored the company and his personal reputation to a large extent. And Ye You, he wanted to surpass him(LN), it was simply a pipe dream.

After Ye You returned to the hotel room, he was about to pour himself a glass of warm water when he was suddenly hugged from behind, which had startled him.

“Do you want to scare me to death?” Ye You complained unhappily.

“Give you a surprise, are you happy?” Du Yao lowered his head and kissed him hard on the face.

“Unhappy, go away.” Ye You pushed him, but couldn’t be moved, he could only say: “Is it so unsafe to live in a hotel now? Just let people in casually without my consent. I think I should go to complain.”

“This is my hotel, you are my person, my person lives in my hotel, isn’t it normal for me to enter my person’s room?” Du Yao said so naturally.

“Only you have the most fallacious reasoning, I wouldn’t stay here if I know this is your Du family’s hotel.” Ye You deliberately said in anger.

“It’s not our Du family’s hotel, it’s my own hotel.” Du Yao said in Ye You’s ear: “May I give you this hotel?”

Ye You almost vomited out a mouthful of water. He coughed twice and said, “I don’t want it. It’s still nothing now and you just say that I am yours. If I accepted your hotel, then I really become yours, isn’t it equivalent to being bought by you? I won’t fall into your tricks, do you think I’m stupid?”

“What’s wrong with being my person?” Du Yao sat down on the sofa holding Ye You and said, “I can help you solve both the Lu family and the He family. I can also arrange for someone to help you with the Ye family’s business. You also don’t need to work so hard. Even asking you to accompany me for a meal already always pushing back and forth.”

“No. I am enjoying the feeling of personally defeating them.” Ye You turned to look at Du Yao and said, “If you really want to give me something, after I make enough money, how about selling that piece of land that were bought off by your family to our family with adding a little more to the original price?”

“That piece of land is now in my grandfather’s hands.” Du Yao said.

“In other words, you can’t call the shots?” Ye You deliberately agitated him: “Aren’t you the heir chosen by your grandfather himself? Isn’t it impossible that you can’t call the shots for a piece of land?”

“Everything from the Du family will belong to me. As long as you marry me, mine is yours. Let alone a piece of land, there are more and better things in the Du family that can be given to you.” Du Yao hugged Ye You, lowered his voice in temptation.

“I don’t care about the things of your Du family, I just want our family’s that piece of land.” Ye You said, looking at him.

“Okay.” Du Yao let go of Ye You, suddenly changed his attitude to that of official business and said: “Then sell yourself for that land. Anyway, if I can’t get your heart, I must get your person. My patience is limited. If you are not sure of your willingness, then I will only have to force it.”

Ye You was made to laughed angrily by him, he thought, what kind of vulgar and dog blood1Raw 狗血(gǒu xuè); melodramatic; contrived script is this, and then decided to accompany him play for a while, deliberately saying with an angry expression: “You actually threatened me, who do you think you are? Could it be that in your heart, my body only worth a piece of land? If you dare to force me, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life. If you don’t believe it, just try it.”

“Could it be you think I don’t know that you fell in love with me when you first saw me. Since your heart is already mine, now I only need to get your body.” Du Yao picked Ye You up and walked to the bedroom.

Du Yao put Ye You on the bed, pressed against him, and kissed him hard.

Ye You deliberately resisted: “Let go of me. Do you hear me, I said let me go.”

Du Yao pressed Ye You’s hands and kissed him for a long time.

From the pretentious resistance at the beginning, to responding to his kisses, and then to feeling that Du Yao really wanted to make further moves, he immediately panicked.

“Du Yao, don’t do this, stop making trouble, get up quickly.” Ye You said in a panic, resisting the sensation of his body.

But Du Yao had no intentions to stop. In order to stop him, Ye You could only said tremblingly in  sobbing tone: “Don’t be like this, I’m afraid, I’m begging you.”

In the end, Du Yao couldn’t bear to force Ye You. He stopped and looked at Ye You. His face was completely gone from the half-truth performance just now. Instead, he looked at him very seriously and asked: “You obviously love me in your heart. Your body also does not reject me, but what are you afraid of? Tell me, what are you afraid of?”

“Give me some more time, I…I need some time, don’t force me.” Ye You said as he looked at him with tears in his eyes.

“You have been hiding from me lately, always making excuses for not seeing me. Except for the first time you approached me proactively, now I feel that you are more and more afraid of me. Give me a reason. Tell me why you are afraid of me.” Du Yao looked into his eyes and asked: “Because of the rumors about me? Could it be that you really think I will hurt you?”

“No, I am not afraid that you will hurt me, I am… because I am…” Ye You really doesn’t know how to explained the source of his fear to him, he has no way to say it, he doesn’t know if Du Yao would believe his words?

“Tell me why you are afraid, so I can help you eliminate your fear.” Du Yao said, touching his face.

“I…” Ye You shook his head and said, “I will definitely be able to do it by myself. As long as you give me some more time, give me a bit more time, okay?”

After Du Yao and Ye You looked at each other for a while, he stood up and said, “Okay, I will give you time. You can take as long as you want.”

Ye You sat up, grabbed Du Yao’s hand and asked, “Are you angry?”

Du Yao sat down next to him, lifted his chin, and kissed his lips, and said, “I am not angry. I want you to know that I really love you. Maybe the time we know each other is too short. We don’t know each other enough, so it makes your heart feel uneasy. It doesn’t matter, I will give you time, no matter how long you need, I will wait for you.”

“Then you will stay tonight?” Ye You asked, looking at him.

“Do you want me to stay?” Du Yao asked him back.

Ye You nodded. Although Du Yao’s tone and demeanor were very gentle, but Ye You still felt that he was angry, which made him even more uneasy, so he hope he can stay and eliminated his uneasiness.

“Okay, I will leave tomorrow morning.” Du Yao came to this country, was to go to another city in this country to deal with some things. He took the time to come and see Ye You. Originally, he was going to go there tonight at the latest, but Ye You said that he wanted him to stay, then he will stay with him.

The two ate dinner together, and after taking a bath, Du Yao lay on the bed holding Ye You and patted his back to soothe him.

Ye You had his face against his(DY) chest and hugged his waist tightly. He closed his eyes, based on his feelings, he was sure that the person he was holding was his lover in his previous life. But he didn’t know how to explain his uneasiness and fear to Du Yao, and because of some concerns, he couldn’t tell the story of the previous world.

Even if the degree of certainty in his heart has reached 99%, as long as the possibility of that one percent still existed, the anxiety in his heart cannot be easily eliminated, and the reason for the existence of that one percent was Du Yao has no memory of the previous life, so it was still possible that Du Yao in this life was only very, very similar to Du Yao’s appearance in the previous life, rather than the same soul.

Before dawn, Du Yao had already left and hurried to another city. Ye You also woke up early in the morning, but when he woke up, Du Yao had been away for two or three hours.

Ye You took the phone from the bedside table and sent a message to Du Yao asking where he was. Du Yao immediately replied to him, saying that he was in a meeting.

Ye You put down the phone, closed his eyes and wanted to sleep for a while, but he was no longer sleepy, so he just got up and went to the bathroom to take a bath.

After he took a bath and had breakfast, he took the whole team and set off to participate in the finals.

After reaching at the venue for the final, Ye You first went to draw lots. There will be a total of five small teams2I assume this is a small teams that compete against each other, and each team will only leave the works of two designers for the final selection.

Ye You and Lu Ning were drawn to the same teams by coincidence.

After entering the sub-venue, Ye You deliberately sat behind Lu Ning, while flipping through the competition brochure, he said: “After I returned to the hotel, I received a domestic call. I heard that your Lu family’s clothing company is even more impacted than what I thought. What kind of ranking do you think you need to get in order to restore some reputation?”

Lu Ning clenched his fist, and he said sideways3Raw 他侧脸说道(Tā cè liǎn shuōdao); he said sideways. In case you’re confused(bcoz I don’t know how to phrase it in english Orz) LN was sitting in front of YY, so he 侧脸说, I think this means he turned his head sideways to talk and not his whole body turn sideways(bcoz that’s what I thought at the beginning, lol): “Our Lu family is different from your Ye family. Our Lu family has money. Even if this clothing company goes bankrupt now, our family can still open a new clothing company, so you don’t have to be too please with yourself, no matter how our family is, it will not be enough to sell the treasures of Feng Shui land left by ancestors.”

“Really?” Ye You smiled and said, “You put so much effort into this clothing(company)4Raw context 你在这个服装投入了这么多的心血(Nǐ zài zhège fúzhuāng tóurùle zhème duō de xīnxuè); You put so much effort into this costume. Here didn’t mention about company, only costume/clothing. I boldly assume what YY means was LN’s clothing company, therefore the added words in bracket. I hope this did not turn out to be redundant *sweat*. If it really goes bankrupt, perhaps it will be more sad and uncomfortable than selling your own land? And your own reputation has starting to smell bad now. Even if you start a company again, perhaps it will be hard to promote the clothes you designed yourself, right?”

“Heh.” Lu Ning sneered and said, “Do you really think that this small blow will make me impossible to turn over? You are really naive, at most in a year time, how much people do you think will still remember these things, and how many people care about these things?”

“Yes.” Ye You nodded and said, “This matter will certainly not cause a devastating blow to you and your Lu family, but who will be able to say what will happen afterwards?”

“The same things, you better remember. No matter what happens afterwards, even if you kneel down and beg me, I will never stop!” Lu Ning lowered his voice and said fiercely.

“After I return home with the gold medal of this competition, I will wait for your Lu family to make a move. Please don’t stop when that time come.” Ye You said.

“Hahaha.” Lu Ning really thought it was ridiculous this time and laughed out loud: “Gold Award? Just relying on you? This joke you made, I can laugh about it for several years, hahaha…Thank you for successfully making me laugh. I haven’t laughed so happily in this period of time.”

“You’re welcome.” Ye You thought to himself, you will soon realize what it feels like to experience extreme joy turns to sorrow5Raw 乐极生悲(lèjíshēngbēi); extreme joy turns to sorrow (idiom); Don’t celebrate too soon, things could still go wrong!.

The voting team and spectators who watched the game entered the venue one after another. After the judges took their seats behind the long table in the front row, the selection of this sub-venue officially began.

The models came out from the backstage one after another to present them. After each group of models presented up on the T stage, they stood on both sides of the high stage and waited for the results of the review and voting.

The final ranking and score can be guessed from the reactions of the voting team and the people watching the competitions.

Lu Ning became even more nervous after seeing the model hired by their company come out. He began to carefully observe the reactions of the people around him, but the calm reaction of the voting group and the audience made his mood drop to the lowest. The sense of loss and tiredness also came suddenly, and he could predict that this time he would also have difficulty entering the top 20.

Lu Ning suppressed the feeling of loss in his heart and comforted himself, as long as he can be higher than Ye You’s ranking, he felt that this was nothing suspenseful. After returning to China, he could just belittle Ye You to raise himself even more. Who told him to take part in the competition? It only giving him a chance to belittled him.

The model wearing the costume designed by Ye You appeared, and there was an admiration in the audience immediately, and then everyone began to talked.

“It’s so beautiful, which designer’s work is this? In previous competitions, it seems that there has not been such a style.”

“Yes, look at that long smooth silk dress with embroidered light soft gauze6check the pics below. It looks really noble and elegant, and it’s really beautiful.”

“That light green lace skirt is also very nice, fresh and pretty, embroidered with light gold patterns, it adds a touch of playfulness and vitality.”

“It was the first time I saw the styles of the two long evening dresses. I think it suits people like me who don’t have confidence in their figure. I really want to try them on.”

“I’m really curious about the designer’s work. The embroidery is even better than real flowers. The matching is really perfect.”

“I must vote for this set of clothing. This designer must be a genius. I like each set very much.”

“Didn’t you say that you want to vote for your idol Master Dick7Raw 迪克(Díkè), please let me know if I got this name incorrectly in English *sweat*? You have voted for him all these years. The previous set of costumes is obviously the design style of Master Dick.”

“But I really love this set of costumes. I think Master Dick will be able to understand me. I can’t go against my truest thoughts, otherwise I will regret it later.”

“Well, no matter whether Master Dick understands you or not, I understand you anyway, because I also have to vote for this set of costumes.”

Listening to the admiration of the people around, Lu Ning couldn’t help feeling jealous and envious. Even if he felt jealous, he had to admit that this set of clothes was indeed attractive enough to aroused the praises and love of these people. Why can someone else’s mind come up with such a beautiful costume design, but he can’t do it?

Lu Ning looked at it and felt that the embroidery on this set of clothing had a very obvious ancient style of their country. He suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart, and then immediately suppressed this feeling. He thought it was ridiculous. How could he come up with the idea that these clothes were designed by Ye You? Even if the embroidery has the classical style of their country, it also impossible that it was designed by Ye You. There were also other designers from their country to participate in the competition. Anyway, it was absolutely impossible that it was Ye You who design them.

After the scoring and voting statistics were completed, the representative of the organizer took the stage and announced the two sets of costumes selected for the finals in this sub-venue. It was no surprise that the costume designed by Ye You was selected, so much so that after announcing that his costume was selected, applause broke out in the audience below.

When the people in the venue got up and left, Ye You also stood up, then smiled and said to Lu Ning: “It’s a pity that the costumes you designed didn’t make it into the grand finals.”

“Did yours has been selected? You don’t need to feel pity for me, you should feel pity for yourself.” Lu Ning said coldly.

“You are welcome to watch the finals. Maybe you are lucky enough to see the picture of me accepting the award with your own eyes,” Ye You said with a smile, then turned and left.

Lu Ning’s face changed drastically. He felt a burst of anger rushing into his head, causing his body to shake.

“Director, are you okay?” The two assistants immediately supported Lu Ning. Seeing that his expression was very ugly, they couldn’t help but feel a little worried, because Lu Ning was still pregnant with a child. If something goes wrong with him, the Lu family and the He family will definitely take their anger out on them.

“I’m okay. I won’t go back to the hotel. I will find a coffee shop nearby to sit and wait until the afternoon finals start.” Lu Ning said after calming his mind.

“Director, let’s go back to the hotel and wait for the news. Anyway, since we were not selected for the finals, there is no need to watch the selection of the finals.” The assistant persuaded.

“No!” Lu Ning said with a firm tone, clenching a fist, “I must see with my own eyes who is going to receive the award on the stage, it is absolutely impossible that it belong to Ye You!”

The assistants looked at each other, and they all understood Lu Ning’s temper. They knew that once he made a decision, he would definitely not listen. If they continued to persuade him, he would only get even more angry. So all of them went to a nearby coffee shop and sat there, while eating desserts to fill their stomachs, they were waiting for the start of the afternoon grand finals8This keep bothering me because Author dada keep changing between 总决赛, 决赛, 下午决赛, or 下午总决赛 in this chapter. Is there no different between these words?! Because Google translate and yabla only gave me finals then there’s reverso gave grand finals?? But some site said the two words only has a slight different, it is means finals, only that grand final had added more to it than final… I means, WHAT?! *confused* So…. if Author dada use  总决赛, I will use Grand final, if Author dada use 决赛, then it’s just final _(:3」∠)_.

Lu Ning had no appetite and didn’t want to eat anything. For the sake of the child in his stomach, he reluctantly drank a glass of milk and then ate a small piece of cake.

Ye You also took the team to eat lunch in the restaurant. After eating, while waiting for the start of the grand finals, he sent Du Yao a message asking him when he would return to China.

Du Yao replied Ye You, saying that he would fly to other countries this afternoon, and he had already arranged arrangements for him(YY) in China, so he didn’t have to worry about it.

Of course, Ye You was not worried about these things. He wanted to go back to China with Du Yao, but since Du Yao have to go to other countries, he didn’t follow along, because after the competitions was over, he will return home immediately and start being busy. Ye family’s clothing company was about to re-opened.

Although Du Yao behaved normally in everything, but Ye You still felt that he must be angry. The Du Yao in his previous life had never been angry with him, and he had never said a single heavy words to him. Ye You thought to himself, he had coaxed himself in the previous life, should he also coax him this time? People in love always have to accommodate each other, which was the long-term way to get along, and he really has no way to explained clearly to Du Yao. If it was him, he will felt even more angry.
