Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl
Chapter 214 - 213: Want to Drive Her Away?

Chapter 214: Chapter 213: Want to Drive Her Away?

Relying on knowledge from her past life, Zhen Yu knew that boys would experience voice changes in their teens, but she didn’t understand the duration or specifics. That’s why when she heard Han Mingyue’s voice wasn’t unpleasant, she asked this question.

Han Mingyue glanced sideways when he heard this. Why would a girl know about boys going through puberty voice changes?

Oh, right! He almost forgot about Zhen Yan, he had gone through voice changes.

"Just started." Since she seemed to know, Han Mingyue truthfully replied.

"Just started??" Zhen Yu’s eyes widened, then she slapped her own face, "Oh! My God! How much longer do you have to play mute?"

"Play? What do you mean?" Han Mingyue asked, not understanding.

Zhen Yu removed her hand from her eyes, and looked at him incredulously: "You barely speak all day, aren’t you just playing mute? Or should I put it differently, ’valuing words like gold’?"

Han Mingyue blinked his eyes, struggling to digest Zhen Yu’s words.

Still not fully comprehending, he couldn’t help but retort, "Isn’t it you who doesn’t want to talk? I was just... going along with you."

"Me??" Such an out-of-the-blue accusation.

Zhen Yu had a look of utter disbelief, "When did I ever not want to talk?" And then a look of resentment for being wrongly accused, "I was the one going along with you, for goodness sake!"

Han Mingyue: "..."

Had he misunderstood something? Was Xiao Yu also misunderstanding him?

After collecting his thoughts, Han Mingyue decided to take this opportunity to have a proper talk with Zhen Yu.

——

"My voice change wasn’t as noticeable as Zhen Yan’s; it’s not something to be embarrassed about, so it’s not that I didn’t want to talk because of that."

Zhen Yu was somewhat surprised, "Then why don’t you, talk?"

After asking, she secretly scolded him in her mind, ’Your voice is fine but you don’t talk, and you don’t talk to me! Today I must find out why!’

Han Mingyue struggled to speak and finally voiced the thought he had held back for a long time, "I thought, you didn’t want to deal with me."

"Why wouldn’t I want to deal with you?" This reason was ludicrous! Absolutely absurd!

Don’t wrong her! She never gave off that impression! Even if there was anyone she didn’t wish to deal with, Han Mingyue was definitely not one of them!

"I’d like to know why as well." Han Mingyue looked intently at Zhen Yu, guessing that there was an eighty percent chance the answer would have something to do with Class 1 of the third grade...

" I know no such... thing!" Zhen Yu almost exploded, "I have never not wanted to deal with you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhen Yu’s face stiffened, and her heart was bombarded by barrage of thoughts.

"Damn it! How could I say something so awkward!"

"Ah! Han Mingyue is driving me insane! I can’t believe I can even spew such a ’contrived sentence structure’!"

"Eek~~~ So cringeworthy! If this continues, won’t I be close to Mr. Ma’s ’roaring style’!"

"Hold on! Must keep it together! Can’t lose my cool!"

Han Mingyue, with his excellent command of the Chinese language, quickly deciphered the double negative in her statement, but he didn’t immediately respond.

Her tone was so undeniable that for a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

If it wasn’t that she didn’t want to deal with him, then she must be in a bad mood recently!

After pondering for quite a while, Han Mingyue finally lowered his eyes to the coffee table and asked: "You don’t like your current class, do you? Have you thought about switching to Class 2 next semester?"

"?" Zhen Yu furrowed her brows; she wondered if she was hearing things. Was Han Mingyue implying that he wanted her to leave?

Let’s be clear! She’s pretty sure she’s never interfered with his academic exchanges with the school’s little girls, right? Why is she suddenly such an eyesore to him?

Zhen Yuxin isn’t someone with many tricks up her sleeve; a habit from her past life has been to ask directly whenever something isn’t clear because, whether or not she gets an answer, she doesn’t lose out.

She can’t best her opponents nor does she want to drag down her friends. The little cunning she had was practically for decoration in her previous life.

---

"Do you want me to transfer classes?" Zhen Yu’s tone was so low it was hard to detect joy or anger.

Han Mingyue looked at Zhen Yu, trying to discern something from her expression, but, unfortunately, he failed.

He gritted his teeth and almost desperately retorted, "Don’t you want to transfer?! I know you’re not happy in Class 1! You’re being ostracized, you have no friends..."

"You know jack shit!" Zhen Yu finally let the word ’shit’ slip out in her retort.

Having said that, Zhen Yu rolled her eyes to herself and continued to scold, "What, are you a worm in my stomach? You know everything about how I feel?!"

Han Mingyue was at a loss for words, "Then what are you thinking?"

"If you want to know what I’m thinking then just ask me! If you don’t ask, how am I supposed to know you want to know what I’m thinking?"

Damn it! Is she poisoned today? She’s both poor and losing her mind!

Zhen Yu really wanted to bash her head against the floor, but she couldn’t do that in front of Han Mingyue! So she could only keep a stern face while feeling utterly mortified inside...

Han Mingyue was so dizzy from the conversation that it took him several seconds to gather his thoughts; just as he was about to speak, Zhen Yu beat him to it.

"I admit I’ve been ostracized! But what does that have to do with me? I came to Class 1 just for you and Bai Xue. Everyone else is as indistinguishable to me as the silhouette of a panel!"

"...silhouette of a panel?"

Zhen Yu: "Blackboard!"

Han Mingyue: "...Uh."

---

In fact, Han Mingyue had already believed her but couldn’t help asking to confirm, "Do you really not care?"

"Ostracized? Why should I care?" Zhen Yu smiled lightly, "More than ninety percent of these people are just passersby in my life; I won’t even remember their names. And of the remaining ten percent that might intersect with my life, most are fleeting!"

"People meet countless others in their lives," Zhen Yu sighed and turned to look into Han Mingyue’s eyes, speaking earnestly, "I only care about those I want to care about. I never take others and their issues to heart!"

Han Mingyue almost asked Zhen Yu, "When you say ’those I want to care about’ while looking at me like this, are you referring to me?"

Thank goodness he remembered this was his home, and his mother was in the bedroom. So he just asked himself in his head and then gave himself a positive answer.

Spurred by the courage Zhen Yu had given him, Han Mingyue finally brought up the ’shut out at the door’ incident that had been bothering him, "I have one last thing to ask you!"

"Go ahead!" Zhen Yu’s demeanor was casual, leaning back relaxedly and curling up on the sofa.

"Why didn’t you let me into the yard that day?"

Zhen Yu asked, puzzled, "Which day?"

"The first Saturday you didn’t go to Shoe City."

Zhen Yu tried hard to recall; it seemed like she took a cozy nap?

"I finally had a chance to relax and wanted to sleep a bit more! After you left, I went back to sleep."

Han Mingyue: "..."

So, is the truth really that simple... so simple that he seems to be making a fuss over nothing?
