Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl
Chapter 201: Like it or Not?

Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Like it or Not?

Zhen Yu just lowered her head when suddenly she heard Bai Xue’s voice, "Xiao Yu! Is the class monitor bullying you?"

"?!" Zhen Yu looked at Bai Xue in surprise. Where did she get that notion? She even thought that she could be bullied.

Right now, Zhen Yu really wanted to look in a mirror – did she look like someone easy to bully?

After pondering without finding an answer, Zhen Yu realistically replied, "No."

Unexpectedly, Bai Xue angrily exclaimed, "Stop covering for them! I saw from far away! It’s only because they ran fast!"

As if other people running slow would enable you to do something to them... Do you want to drown them with your gossiping saliva?

Zhen Yu felt amused with her internal sarcasms, but maintained a serious expression on her face. "Really, no."

"How could that be! Both of them like Han Mingyue, seeing him helping you must have irritated them!"

"...Do you know any other girl who likes Han Mingyue?" Zhen Yu hesitated but decided to ask Bai Xue about the inside information of their class.

Bai Xue gave a knowing smile and said mysteriously: "There are many... almost all the girls with good grades like him. I’m not aware of all, but from what I can tell, at least half do!"

"...What’s there to like about him." Zhen Yu was a bit speechless.

"Why worry! Han Mingyue doesn’t like them!" Bai Xue dismissed Zhen Yu, and then said with pride: "Han Mingyue is so handsome! Strong eyebrows and big eyes, the girls in the class call him and Wang Meng ’Twin Prides’! Plus, his grades are even better than Wang Meng! He has lots of qualities worth liking!"

Zhen Yu almost immediately asked: "What about you then?"

Bai Xue chuckled and patted Zhen Yu’s shoulder, wrapping an arm around her, "Xiao Yu, don’t worry! How could a dunce like me take a liking to a scholar? I’m not like the other girls in the class! I like boys with personality. Han Mingyue is just like a boring squash, I am not into him at all!"

"What do I have to worry about!" For the first time in her life plus her past life, Zhen Yu felt someone blatantly poking into her thoughts and was somewhat ashamed, instinctively defending herself.

"Pfft!" Bai Xue rolled her eyes heavily, "You think I’m like those foolish boys? Unable to see anything!"

Just as Zhen Yu wanted to retort, Bai Xue suddenly covered her mouth with her hand, "Shut up first! Listen to me!"

Zhen Yu eyed Bai Xue’s hand, signaling her to remove it.

After Bai Xue obediently took her hand away, Zhen Yu said, "Your hand is all sweaty, drink some water and wash your hands before we talk."

"Oh right! I am quite thirsty!" Bai Xue exclaimed in surprise.

Zhen Yu thought that after this diversion, Bai Xue would forget the previous topic. However, to her surprise, after busying herself, Bai Xue came back to sit beside her and directly asked, "Do you like Han Mingyue?!"

If Zhen Yu were straightforward about her feelings, she wouldn’t have died harboring an unrequited love in her last life. Thus, she fumbled for words and ultimately said nothing.

Actually, whether she said it or not didn’t matter much. From her demeanor, the highly emotionally intelligent Bai Xue could tell the answer was certainly positive!

She blinked, leaned to Zhen Yu’s ear, and asked, "Did you suddenly work hard and skip a grade also because of him?"

Is it? Zhen Yu pondered for a moment, half and half maybe...

"Let me tell you! Although I don’t know if Han Mingyue likes you, I know he doesn’t like the girls in our class! Especially Shen Qi!" Bai Xue said this with a giggle and nudged Zhen Yu, "Aren’t you happy?"

Happy? Hmm... maybe a little.

Zhen Yu’s lips curved up slightly as she glanced at Bai Xue, but she was caught red-handed. "Haha! You can’t keep it up, can you, Xiao Yu?" While talking, Bai Xue started to poke Zhen Yu, "Are you going to talk or not? Are you?"

As Zhen Yu dodged her, she kept her mouth tightly shut, yet the joyful sound couldn’t stop leaking from her throat.

For a moment, the shade beneath the tree was filled with the crisp, pleasant laughter of the two girls.

After playing around for a while, Bai Xue went back to cutting wheat. Only Zhen Yu was left sitting quietly under the tree, gazing distantly at the figure of Bai Xue bending over to work.

Having someone to share an unspoken burden of the heart was a feeling Zhen Yu never experienced in her previous life!

Only in this life did she realize how much she had missed out on in her previous life! Bai Xue, in this life, I will definitely cherish our friendship and will never give up on any friend by my side!

Fu Yu stood not too far behind Zhen Yu, lost in thought.

He originally came to check on Zhen Yu’s situation, but happened to overhear Bai Xue’s questioning.

His steps involuntarily came to a halt. At that moment, he hadn’t thought much, but after listening, he realized he felt uncomfortable!

Zhen Yu had always loved to follow Zhen Yan around, but in fact, he and the Zhen siblings were the ones who truly spent time together day and night!

They didn’t often play together with the Han Family Brothers in elementary school, so how could Zhen Yu develop feelings for Han Mingyue?

Was he lacking compared to Han Mingyue?

"?" Why was he comparing himself???

Could it be... he likes Zhen Yu?

This thought merely flashed through Fu Yu’s mind before he suddenly shifted to another concern.

Zhen Yu didn’t admit it just now! That must mean Bai Xue was just making wild guesses!

That annoying cousin! She’s so foolish, she must have guessed wrong! Zhen Yu must have stayed silent just to not embarrass herself.

Right! That must be it! He should stop overthinking!

How could Zhen Yu like someone else? When it comes to relationships, only his family is the closest with the Zhen family! Whenever her family had issues, they always came to his family for help!

Han Mingyue’s three rows of crops were divided between his brother and Fu Yu, each taking one row. By the time they finished, Bai Xue had only half a row left, so with the help of the three boys, she quickly finished as well.

While walking home, Han Mingyue faintly sensed that Fu Yu seemed to harbor a mild hostility towards him.

But he clearly hadn’t had much interaction with him, nor had he provoked him! Unable to figure it out, Han Mingyue didn’t intend to interact much with Fu Yu, thus he let it go.

Actually, not only Han Mingyue felt the oddness, Zhen Yu also noticed that Fu Yu was unusually clingy today. He kept talking to her along the way, even if she just nodded or shook her head or gave non-committal responses. Even after Zhen Yu stopped reacting entirely, he continued talking to himself happily all the way to the Zhen family’s door.

Zhen Yu helplessly rolled her eyes inwardly countless times, and her mental complaints scrolled continuously along the way. At the door, when saying goodbye, she even felt a strange sense of relief. After realizing it, her first reaction was incredulous laughter, followed by: "Why was he so abnormal today?"

Zhen Yu couldn’t figure it out, and didn’t want to waste time on Fu Yu, so she simply pushed the question to the back of her mind.
