Chapter 193: Chapter 193 Guests Have Arrived
After having breakfast the next day, Han Mingyue helped Zhen Yu back to the Zhen Family’s small courtyard. Han Jiayang went to school on his own, and incidentally took a medical certificate handwritten by Mr. Han to ask for leave for both of them. After settling Zhen Yu in, Han Mingyue locked her in the house and took Zhen Yu’s key to make a trip to the Four Merchants Store.
Mrs. Han had instructed this, partly because she was afraid the two of them would have no lunch, and partly because she wanted her son to buy some goodies for Zhen Yu to nourish her.
In fact, Apart from dizziness, Zhen Yu had no other issues. But just with that one symptom, she was unable to do anything, especially reading or studying.
Fortunately, after last night, as long as she moved slowly, she was actually able to move freely, at least capable of using the restroom by herself.
For the whole morning, Han Mingyue read books, while Zhen Yu played dead.
At first, Zhen Yu didn’t dare to speak to him for fear of disturbing his reading; then when she did speak to him, he didn’t seem interested in engaging.
Zhen Yu didn’t know what she had done to offend him, but she could feel that he was just humoring her with noncommittal responses.
Bored, Zhen Yu decided to pull out the system and take it for a spin.
Over the course of a month, although she had been busy and gone out on two ’missions’, she had still saved up 32 ability points thanks to the double reward watch.
Her current data was displayed quietly on the transparent screen.

Zhen Yu first added two points to her writing, advancing to entry-level 21, then she turned her attention to the Physical Strength category.
The recent experiences were simply too upsetting! These past couple of days, she was either getting hurt or on the verge of getting hurt.
Without any hesitation, Zhen Yu first raised her Constitution to 61, then dumped all the remaining points into Endurance.
Then, she let out a relieved sigh. There were two items in the Physical Strength category that were passable now! In case she encounters any emergencies next time, if she can’t win a fight, at least she must be able to outrun them!
At noon, Han Mingyue made two cups of milk powder and had some snacks together with Zhen Yu.
After Zhen Yu indicated that she was full, Han Mingyue started cleaning up and said, "Take a nap! I’ll go wash the cups."
Zhen Yu did feel sleepy, perhaps her brain wanted a break from work injury. So, she closed her eyes and said, "Okay! If you’re also tired, you can sleep in my brother’s bed."
The room was quiet, and it was uncertain if Han Mingyue heard her. This thought just flashed through Zhen Yu’s mind before she drifted off, truly able to fall asleep the moment she closed her eyes.

Han Mingyue sat quietly beside Zhen Yu, watching her. The girl’s eyebrows were relaxed, and she slept without any guard.
He reached out to lightly touch the bandaged area on her forehead, and as expected, the swelling wasn’t as pronounced as it looked.
Perhaps the little finger tickling her hair made her itch, all of a sudden, Zhen Yu turned her head, pressing Han Mingyue’s finger against the lower part of her face and rubbed it.
Han Mingyue stared blankly for a moment, his thumb hesitated before slowly descending, tracing Zhen Yu’s eyebrows gently, finally coming to rest at the tail of her brows.
Zhen Yu had willow leaf-shaped eyebrows that were slightly thin at the head and tail, with a beautiful curvature. Unlike his own bushy, straight eyebrows, which had no variations in their height at all.
Han Mingyue was still staring blankly at Zhen Yu’s eyebrows when suddenly Han Jiayang’s voice rang out from the living room.
"Bro! Xiao Yu! We have guests!"
Han Mingyue hurriedly withdrew his hand and stood up, and at the same time, Zhen Yu was awakened by the calling.
She frowned and asked, "We have guests?"
Han Mingyue pressed down on Zhen Yu, who wanted to sit up, and said: "Don’t move! I’ll go have a look."
"Okay," Zhen Yu agreed with a hum and closed her eyes again.
After Han Mingyue pulled up all the curtains in front of Zhen Yu’s heated brick bed, he turned around and went to the living room.
"What’s the matter?" Han Mingyue asked from the doorway of the small bedroom.
The living room was full of people; the boys who had arranged the fight yesterday were all there, accompanied by a few adults who should be their parents.
A woman with the air of an official started to speak, quite politely. "Young student! How is the girl from yesterday? Is her injury serious? Where are her parents?"
Han Mingyue moved his mouth a few times before ultimately replying, "The injury isn’t too serious, just a mild concussion."
The adults from each family looked at each other, and a plump woman said, "That’s not light at all, she needs to rest in bed for a few days!"
The official-looking woman immediately took over the conversation, "Young student, we’re here to see her! Although it was an accident, we still injured someone. I’ve already disciplined this brat yesterday! These," she lifted the items in her hand to show them, then placed them in the corner of the living room, "are specially bought for her, leave them here for her replenishment."
The other adults also put down their items, saying one after another, "These were bought for the kid, we’re so sorry!"
"Where is the kid? Let us see her. And let this brat apologize to her!
"That’s right! Where are her parents? Look, we’ve specially taken time off to come over..."
"The auntie has gone to the store, and she’s asleep." Han Mingyue calmly spoke to shut everyone up, "You can leave the things there and just go. There’s no need to come again."
The official-looking woman hesitated for a while before finally saying, "Then, this matter..."
The adults too looked at Han Mingyue, but they said nothing.
Han Mingyue took a deep breath, then said, "Let’s just leave it at that! After all, it takes two to tango."
The adults had just heaved a sigh of relief when they heard the kid on the other side speak again, "But! Please go home and take care of your own sons! They might have short hair, but they gossip more than girls!"
His words turned the boys’ faces red with embarrassment. Those who were impulsive and quick-tempered immediately wanted to argue, but were quickly grabbed by their own parents.
Especially the plump woman, her son was the most reactive, but he not only failed to break free from the palm of her hand, but was also slapped firmly on the back by her.
"Stay put! I brought you here to apologize, not to pick a fight! Day by day, you don’t learn anything good, only the bad! Your mom is so hard-working, why haven’t you learned a bit of that? You just follow my example of talking too much! I’m a woman! Can you compete with me?! A man blabbing all day, you’re not embarrassed, but I’m embarrassed for you! Keep your mouth shut from now on!"
After a long string of words, everyone present witnessed her ’gossip’ prowess, but they also felt deeply ashamed.
