Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl

Chapter 212: Chapter 211: Launch the War Directly

In the group of five, four had clear minds. Bai Xue, seeing everyone acting as if nothing was odd, had no choice but to pinch her nose and accept this bizarre reality.

As usual, everyone gathered at the Zhen Family’s place to do their homework, but Fu Yu only asked Han Mingyue questions.

Bai Xue observed for a while and realized that not only did Fu Yu stop talking to Zhen Yu, but Han Mingyue also wasn’t speaking to Zhen Yu.

She carefully recalled recent scenes at school and seemed to understand something. She thought to herself, "It looks like Fu Yu is really in puppy love! And Han Mingyue, is she jealous? What’s going on with these three now..."

Driven by curiosity that she could scarcely contain, Bai Xue couldn’t focus on her homework at all, and she directly pulled Zhen Yu up, "Come with me to the restroom!"

Zhen Yu nodded blankly and followed her out.

"Spill the beans! What exactly is going on with Fu Yu and Han Mingyue?!" As soon as they reached the courtyard, Bai Xue couldn’t wait to ask.

"What exactly is going on?" Zhen Yu was unclear about what she was asking.

Bai Xue glared, hands on hips, "Don’t play dumb with me! Why has Fu Yu suddenly stopped clinging to you? You specifically came to my house over the weekend and asked a bunch of things about him; you must have done something!"

Zhen Yu: "Er..."

At a loss for words.

Should she tell her that she had ’fixed’ her cousin?

Seeing that Zhen Yu didn’t answer for a long time, Bai Xue felt she already knew the answer. She then turned to ask about Han Mingyue, "Why is Han Mingyue ignoring you now? Do you think he might be jealous?"

"That’s probably not it!" Zhen Yu whispered into Bai Xue’s ear, sharing her guess, "He might be going through puberty, not wanting to talk."

Bai Xue inquired innocently: "What’s puberty?"

"It’s like my brother, suddenly sounding like a duck." Zhen Yu couldn’t explain the concept in a short time and just brought up her brother as an example.

"Oh..." Bai Xue first realized, then suddenly burst into subdued laughter, "Pfft! Just imagining Han Mingyue talking like that makes me laugh!"

Zhen Yu pretended to be serious and nudged Bai Xue, "Are you going to the restroom or not?"

"Ha ha... Yes! Ha ha ha..."

The courtyard was filled with laughter and jovial voices, but inside the house, the verbal clashes were intense, breaking into a direct confrontation.

Almost as soon as the door shut, Han Jiayang immediately started provoking, "Fu Yu! You really have some nerve!"

Fu Yu glanced at Han Mingyue, who seemed as unmoved as a meditating monk, and said stiffly, "Cut the crap! Speak if you have an issue!"

Han Jiayang, easily provoked, jumped up at his words, "You play dirty! And you think you’re right?!"

"How am I playing dirty?!" Fu Yu exploded too.

Both understood that the other was definitely talking about Zhen Yu!

But Fu Yu didn’t think he did anything wrong; Zhen Yu never said she liked anyone, so why couldn’t he pursue her!

"You knew my brother is closest to Zhen Yu, and yet you still sabotage in between! How are you honorable!" Han Jiayang pointed at Fu Yu’s nose furiously.

Fu Yu slapped away Han Jiayang’s hand with a ’snap,’ retorting righteously, "Who Zhen Yu chooses to be close with is her business! She’s not sold to your Han Family, so why can’t I be with her?!"

"Zhen Yu clearly doesn’t want to hang out with you! Can’t you see she’s ignoring you? Can’t you stop shamelessly imposing yourself on her!" Han Jiayang fiercely poked at Fu Yu’s sore spot.

Fu Yu had a thick skin, "No! No matter what she thinks, I just want to be with her! Can you control that?"

What Han Jiayang actually wanted to say at first was, ’Are you asking for another beating!’ but his brother had warned him not to mention the eavesdropping incident from that day.

Unable to contain his anger, Han Jiayang blurted out a threat, "Believe it or not, if you keep clinging to Zhen Yu, I’ll tell Teacher Cao about your puppy love!"

Fu Yu was momentarily speechless; he knew that if this matter reached Teacher Cao, Zhen Yu would be fine, but he would definitely be doomed.

But he refused to lose face! Fu Yu still stubbornly said, "I’m not scared of you! Go ahead, tell whoever you want!"

"I’ll tell your dad! Let him beat you up!" Han Jiayang just blurted out anything recklessly.

"I’m not afraid at all!" Han Jiayang said stubbornly, appearing tough on the outside but frail within.

Click—

The sound of the door opening interrupted their quarrel, and both of them instantly fell silent and sat down, glaring at each other one last time before stopping.

As usual after finishing their homework, the older cousins left first, while the Han Family Brothers stayed behind to accompany Zhen Yu and wait for Mrs. Zhen.

This was specifically instructed by Mr. Han, as they were not to leave Zhen Yu alone at home after school in the evening.

Of course, Bai Xue and Fu Yu didn’t know that the other three would spend a bit more time together every evening!

The room was silent, and despite Han Jiayang nudging his brother and egging him on to speak several times, he received no response.

Han Jiayang especially pretended to go to the bathroom and stayed out for a while. When he returned to the room, the two were still just as he had left them.

Each buried in their own books, like two statues.

This really was like the emperor being impatient, torturing the eunuch! Han Jiayang was like sitting on pins and needles, sitting and standing intermittently, pacing around the living room.

It wasn’t until Mrs. Zhen returned, and the brothers said hello and were about to leave, that Han Jiayang saw his brother take out a magazine from his backpack and silently place it in front of Zhen Yu.

Mrs. Zhen glanced at the magazine cover and remained silent. A big picture on the cover was accompanied by two big words—Reader. She had heard of this magazine; it was quite suitable for high school students. They didn’t subscribe to it at home, probably, Zhen Yu had actively borrowed it from Han Mingyue. She had heard her daughter mention that she often exchanged books with Han Mingyue.

Zhen Yu had already put down her book when her mother arrived, and watched as the Han Family Brothers said goodbye to her mother; more precisely, she watched Han Jiayang saying goodbye.

When she saw Reader, Zhen Yu first paused, then quickly understood—this was Han Ming publishing a new article.

She stood up and smilingly said to Han Ming, "Congratulations."

Han Ming just nodded in response, still unable to speak.

Zhen Yu didn’t take it to heart, assuming he was still too shy to speak out.

What she didn’t know was that the young man across from her had been so troubled recently that he was nearly sleepless at night, having rehearsed apologies to her countless times in his mind, yet never replicating them in real life.

He had a lot to tell her. He wanted to tell her about his frustration when Fu Yu pestered her, his guilt after she was isolated, his self-blame for putting her in an awkward position after inviting her to the same class, and even fantasized about being as bold as Fu Yu, telling her that he liked her...

Zhen Yu counted the days one by one, and finally on the night of Winter Solstice, she accumulated a hundred ability points. When it came time to exchange them, Zhen Yu still hesitated, and it took several minutes before she finally resolved to click exchange for a Data Detector.
