After Being Reborn, My Ex-Girlfriend Became Obsessed - Chapter 85

Yesterday, during the livestream, the discussion about Lin Duxi calling An Yu only intensified. In the CP fan community, many fans concentrated on analyzing it; some even edited out all the clips of Lin Duxi calling her and listened to each one carefully.

Lin Duxi is an actress, and her lines are never ambiguous. If she consistently calls someone the same name, there’s only one possibility:

In the show, Lin Duxi was calling “A-Yu”!

Once this conclusion came out, CP fans went crazy.

What does this mean? Lin Duxi and An Yu must have known each other long before, maybe during the filming of Nightfall Like Frost, or even earlier!

For CP fans, the older the “hidden sugar,” the better it is to enjoy. Early in the morning, they were ready for the livestream, waiting to see what surprise the CP would give. Then, they saw An Yu standing next to director Qiao Qingzhou, discussing something with her.

[The third episode is finally starting! I’ve been thinking about it for days!]

[What are you two talking about? Where’s Lin Duxi?]

[Ever since I found out yesterday that Lin Duxi has been calling An Yu “A-Yu,” I can’t accept anyone else in my eyes. Give me some intense sweetness!]

[At first, I was An Yu’s sole fan, but Lin Duxi is too captivating. An Yu, can you handle her?!]

Qiao Qingzhou glanced at the list An Yu handed her and raised an eyebrow.

“Is this all?”

An Yu nodded calmly.

“That’s all.”

Qiao Qingzhou made a small noise, resting her chin in her hand.

“It’s not bad, just a bit ordinary. But considering your CP vibe, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

An Yu smiled faintly, took the list back from Qiao Qingzhou, neatly folded it, and put it in her pocket.

“Then, Director Qiao, I’ll head over now. She’s still waiting for me.”

As per the usual style of the production team, one of the CP pair goes first while the other follows later, which creates a sense of surprise and atmosphere.

Lin Duxi had left in the program vehicle half an hour earlier. An Yu, after spending a little time chatting with the director, got stuck in the morning traffic.

An Yu felt anxious, gripping a bouquet of roses tightly, her knuckles turning white.

[Ooooh, holding roses too. Who’s the lucky one?]

[I can’t wait to see Lin Duxi’s reaction.]

[Don’t worry. Lin Duxi just arrived at the amusement park. You still have time.]

The traffic gave An Yu some idle time to think.

Last night, Lin Duxi had been unusual. She had been sleeping before going downstairs, but after getting some porridge, she seemed like a different person, just like in the bathroom and during camping before.

An Yu recalled previous instances: when Lin Duxi was being assertive, her mental state usually wasn’t very good.

Changes always have reasons, though An Yu didn’t know why.

The last time An Yu got drunk and let something slip, Lin Duxi had learned something from it—something An Yu didn’t know. The system also hadn’t told her, as if deliberately avoiding the topic.

The more An Yu thought, the more she sensed an undiscovered mystery.

“An Laoshi, are you nervous?” asked a staff member, seeing that the car hadn’t left yet and wanting to make conversation.

“No, not nervous,” An Yu replied.

The staff smiled awkwardly, noticing An Yu had been tapping the seat unconsciously.

Her thoughts were interrupted, and the car finally started. She looked out the window instead, letting her anticipation rise and fall quietly.

Her excitement was brief. As she gazed outside, she recalled the early days of dating Lin Duxi: their conversations and activities weren’t much different, just more kissing and sleeping together.

Every time she saw Lin Duxi, her heart fluttered. Each beat made her like Lin Duxi even more.

Looking at the roses, she couldn’t help but smile.

[An Yu, were you just smiling at the roses? Admit it!]

When the car arrived at the amusement park, it was a weekday morning, so it wasn’t crowded. Following the staff’s directions, An Yu quickly found Lin Duxi.

Lin Duxi was bending over a flower bush, smelling the flowers. Morning sunlight outlined her stunning face, and the breeze made her hair sway gently, stirring a quiet lake in An Yu’s heart.

Noticing her gaze, Lin Duxi looked up. Her deep, calm eyes immediately brightened with a smile.

“A-Yu, you’re here.” She walked over, eyes on the flowers in An Yu’s hands.

An Yu froze, realizing this was their first real date—even if it was on a show.

“Th-this is for you,” she stammered.

Lin Duxi chuckled, taking the flowers and bringing them to her nose.

“Smells better than the ones before.”

“Isn’t it all flowers? How can one be more fragrant than another?”

Lin Duxi gave her a sidelong glance and walked past: “I’m not telling you.”

[Silly, it’s more fragrant because you gave it to me!]

[So sweet! They’re in a world of their own. Just looking at them together makes my screen full of pink bubbles.]

[An Yu, you blockhead!]

The activities An Yu planned were just ordinary date steps, prioritizing Lin Duxi’s happiness.

Before starting, the system warned her to act carefully, and if needed, slightly go against Lin Duxi’s wishes.

An Yu nodded seriously.

They spent half a day at the amusement park. On a weekday morning, many attractions had no lines. The other two groups expressed envy when they heard from staff.

Ms. Xie, a kind local, said: “Young couples are just so sweet.”

Exhausted, they sat on a bench, realizing half the day had passed.

“No wonder I’m so hungry,” An Yu said.

Lin Duxi looked at her with a smile: “Then let’s go eat.”

“But there’s still activities left,” An Yu protested.

Lin Duxi grabbed her arm, letting her lean in: “I don’t care about those. Let’s go ride the Ferris wheel tonight, okay?”

An Yu agreed without hesitation. They left the amusement park and had a simple meal.

In the afternoon, they went to a cinema. There wasn’t much new, so An Yu picked a suspense film. They said goodbye to staff at the ticket counter.

[Really just an ordinary date. The other groups are ice-skating or pottery-making. The amusement park was fun, though. I want to go this weekend.]

[Now I understand why the director looked so secretive this morning. With people who aren’t a strong CP, this wouldn’t have worked. I vote for them again!]

They hadn’t seen the movie, and it was mostly empty. Lin Duxi’s professional instincts kicked in as she considered how she’d act if she were the protagonist, immersing herself deeper.

Suddenly, weight pressed on her shoulder. She turned slightly and saw An Yu’s face leaning on her, fast asleep. The popcorn remained on her side.

Her calm sleeping face illuminated in the dim cinema was the only light Lin Duxi noticed. She stopped caring about the movie, only watching this person, her gaze soft as water.

Her heart, tense since waking up yesterday, slowly relaxed. Though she knew “that person” was still lurking, An Yu was here now, and they could still be together. That was enough.

Lin Duxi leaned her head on An Yu’s shoulder, closing her eyes slowly.

They had dinner and returned to the amusement park at night.

On the way, Lin Duxi watched the scenery outside, while An Yu dozed off. She regretted falling asleep during the movie, hoping Lin Duxi hadn’t noticed.

System: …

System: “Host, your time with Lin Duxi is almost over. Don’t waste it.”

An Yu frowned: “Waste it? I’ve been completing tasks.”

The system considered telling her that Lin Duxi had kissed her during the movie but thought better of it—it might just increase their bond.

“Anyway, it’s only tonight. Tomorrow you must start the mission.”

An Yu: “Why so urgent? Isn’t there still time?”

System: “You don’t understand. According to the story, this is the last episode with the male lead. After recording, he moves on to filming. The female lead will lose contact. This is the last chance to advance their relationship!”

“Mission not completed means punishment, right?”

An Yu’s expression hardened, but a faint smile formed: “Only by completing the mission can I truly live here.”

System: “Correct. Only success is allowed—failure is not an option.”

An Yu closed her eyes and sighed lightly.

Unaware, Lin Duxi’s gaze shifted from outside to her, noticing An Yu’s concentrated state.

A sudden unease washed over Lin Duxi. Her instinct whispered:

“That person” is after An Yu again.

Earlier, An Yu had been staring blankly at something, as if in a trance. Lin Duxi had never seen this, but it confirmed her suspicion.

Cold sweat ran down her back. She shivered.

“Why am I suddenly so cold? Are you cold?”

An Yu’s usual clarity returned, preparing to take off her jacket.

Lin Duxi’s chest tightened. If not for this accidental moment, An Yu would have handled it alone.

“I want to ride the Ferris wheel,” Lin Duxi said, trying to suppress emotions.

Seeing Lin Duxi calm, An Yu let go of her worry, but an odd feeling resurfaced. All her earlier speculations and Lin Duxi’s strange behavior crowded her mind.

She guessed Lin Duxi might know about the system—but the system had told her it was trivial.

“Almost there. The amusement park is beautiful at night,” An Yu said, covering Lin Duxi’s hand to warm it.

[Holding hands! Holding hands!]

[Are they openly holding hands now?]

[Earlier, their behavior was odd. Did something happen in the cinema?]

[Impossible upstairs. They’re holding hands now; maybe they were reminded of something.]

The amusement park at night was bright. Fireworks lit the distant square.

Despite the crowds, they held hands freely and headed straight to the Ferris wheel.

Nighttime Ferris wheel rose against the dark sky, reflecting splendid scenery in bursts of fireworks.

They waited quietly in the last line, hands still entwined. Staff captured the scene with an artistic cinematic style.

Finally, they boarded. Livestream equipment stayed inside, no staff accompanied them.

The Ferris wheel began to ascend. The world below shrank; everything felt quiet and intimate.

Moonlight bathed them. Fireworks continued in the distance. An Yu looked at Lin Duxi, locking eyes with her deep, watery gaze.

“Are the fireworks beautiful?” Lin Duxi asked softly, corners of her eyes red, voice slightly hoarse.

“Yes,” An Yu whispered, entranced.

Another firework exploded. Lin Duxi’s eyes reflected night and An Yu.

“You weren’t watching,” Lin Duxi smiled.

“I was… it’s beautiful,” An Yu said, eyes full of deep affection.

Lin Duxi’s smile softened, holding An Yu’s hand tighter. Her heart beat louder than the fireworks.

An Yu’s clear eyes mirrored her, brimming with unspoken love.

Lin Duxi stroked her cheek silently.

“Hold me,” An Yu whispered. Without waiting, she pulled Lin Duxi forward into her arms.

Long hair fell over her shoulder. An Yu let go of her hands, embracing her, burying her head in her neck.

“I don’t want to leave you,” An Yu murmured, barely audible. Only Lin Duxi heard.

Lin Duxi’s pupils dilated; her entire body trembled.

“I don’t want”—someone was stopping her. She understood.

She bit her lip, leaning on An Yu’s shoulder, misty-eyed, holding back tears.

An Yu’s love pulsed through the embrace, warmth spreading through every limb.

“Okay, pinky promise,” Lin Duxi said, letting go of her hand. Her wet eyes smiled only for An Yu.

“Okay, pinky promise,” An Yu replied, hooking her little finger.

“Is this childish?” An Yu asked, still holding her hand.

“Not childish.”

“Good, not childish.”

After the Ferris wheel, they left and returned by car. The day’s recording ended.

Yet the discussion continued online, and before they could even get home, Weibo trending topics surpassed even the villa incident:

#LinDuxiAnYu FerrisWheelHug#

[I cried watching Lin Duxi and An Yu on the Ferris wheel livestream.]

[Are they really dating? Their eyes say yes. So sweet.]

[Honestly, without the livestream, they would have kissed.]

[Their bond is deeper than we imagined. We, the fans, found only a fraction. The real sugar is being served by the main characters!]
