Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl
Chapter 253 - 252: The Friendship Faded Away

Chapter 253: Chapter 252: The Friendship Faded Away

Very quickly, Zhen Yu spoke up and broke the silence. "Fu Yu! The ancients said that boys and girls should not sit together after seven years of age! And I am fourteen this year!" Zhen Yu looked at Fu Yu, her gaze clear and resolute, "This is the last time I reason with you! Listen up! The friendship between our families has ended, please do not bother me anymore!"

As soon as her words fell, Fu Yu angrily questioned: "What do you mean? What does it mean that the friendship is over?! What does my old uncle’s matter have to do with my family? He is him! I am me!"

"One cannot write two ’Fu’ characters with a single stroke." Zhen Yu said indifferently: "Moreover, regardless of whether the friendship between our two families is over or not, I don’t plan to put up with your torment anymore!"

"What have I tormented?!" Fu Yu said with dissatisfaction: "Didn’t I just, just!... you know!"

In front of the other three people, Fu Yu couldn’t bring himself to speak words related to puppy love, but he still conveyed a hint of ambiguity in his tone.

However, Zhen Yu completely disregarded his thoughts, declaring coldly: "I warn you! From now on, do not involve me in any of your affairs! Otherwise, I won’t mind teaching you the meaning of ’enough is enough!’"

Fu Yu looked at her incredulously, his eyes widened in disbelief. He never expected Zhen Yu to actually talk about severing their relationship, "Zhen Yu! You,"

"Shut up!" Zhen Yu swiftly interrupted Fu Yu’s astonishment and turned to Bai Xue, saying: "Bai Xue, from now on I will be living at Han Mingyue’s house. I’ll see you on Monday!"

"Oh, sure!" Bai Xue nodded first, then proceeded to digest what Zhen Yu had just said.

Zhen Yu smiled at her, then gave Han Mingyue a look and strode away!

"Zhen Yu, stop! Explain yourself clearly!" The moment Zhen Yu turned to leave, Fu Yu immediately chased after her unwillingly, only to be grabbed by Bai Xue’s arm!

Bai Xue spoke exasperatedly: "Aren’t you done yet?! Zhen Yu doesn’t like you! Doesn’t like you! How many times do you need her to tell you?!"

"I’m not done!" Fu Yu forcefully shook off his cousin’s hand and ran after Zhen Yu!

Bai Xue was so furious, she shouted at his retreating figure: "You’re like a clingy plaster! I’m so annoyed with you now! You can go to school on your own from now on! I don’t want to care about you anymore!"

After saying that, Bai Xue turned around and ran back to her own house, not even heading towards the Fu Family’s!

——

The three people ahead had only walked a few steps when Fu Yu quickly caught up with them.

When he reached behind the three people, Fu Yu shouted, "Zhen Yu, stop!"

"I think it’s you who should stop!" Han Jiayang retorted as he turned around, he and his brother were already following behind Zhen Yu, and now they instinctively stopped and turned, positioning themselves behind Zhen Yu.

"Get out of my way! I’m looking for Zhen Yu! Not you guys!"

"You think we’ll just move because you told us to? Zhen Yu doesn’t want to talk to you, don’t you understand human language?!"

But Zhen Yu suddenly stopped as well, she turned around and spoke to Han Mingyue, "Let him through."

The Han Family Brothers exchanged a silent glance and both stepped aside.

Seeing this, Fu Yu immediately walked through the space between them, standing in front of Zhen Yu.

Before he had a chance to speak, Zhen Yu suddenly delivered a direct kick to his chest, forcefully pushing him back a great distance!

Fu Yu staggered a few times but managed to keep from falling.

Looking at Zhen Yu with anger and frustration, just as he was about to question her, he heard Zhen Yu let out a sharp command, "Scram!"

Han Mingyue and Han Jiayang were both shocked at once.

And it wasn’t over yet; Zhen Yu, grinding her teeth, added another sentence, "I never want to see you again!"

Hearing this, Fu Yu stood there with a pained expression on his face. They were friends who had played together since they were little! How could she say she never wanted to see him again?!!

By the time he came back to his senses, the three people in front of him had already vanished without a trace, and he could only walk home filled with a sense of loss...

---

After passing in silence in front of a dozen or so households, he arrived at the westernmost Han Mingyue’s house.

Mr. Han and Mrs. Han had not yet returned, and the house was dim.

After unlocking the door and entering, Han Mingyue intended to put down his schoolbag and have a proper talk with Zhen Yu. However, after washing her hands and face, Zhen Yu headed straight into the kitchen.

He took a glance at his younger brother. Same old same old! Tossing his schoolbag onto the sofa and turning on the TV, nobody paid any mind to anyone else until it was time to eat.

Han Mingyue had no choice but to immediately wash his hands and face and follow into the kitchen. He could not just let Zhen Yu cook on her first day staying at his home...

As soon as he entered the kitchen, Han Mingyue said, "Xiao Yu, you go watch TV. I can handle it."

"No need." Zhen Yu refused and naturally started directing Han Mingyue to help, "You wash those tomatoes!"

Han Mingyue didn’t insist further. He took out an empty basin, put the tomatoes in it, and began running water.

The faucet was streaming with a ’whooshing’ sound. In a daze, Han Mingyue felt this scene seemed familiar.

That’s right! It was like this when he and his brother mooched meals at the Zhen Family’s. One person waiting to eat while watching TV, two people cooperating in cooking, him assisting her...

During the intervals between washing vegetables and beating eggs, Han Mingyue stole several glances at Zhen Yu’s profile.

Her expression was tranquil and calm, without a hint of the sorrow or reluctance from just having parted ways with an old friend, even though the Zhen and Fu families had more than a decade of friendship.

Han Mingyue felt torn, unsure whether to be glad for her prompt and firm mindset, or to lament her indifferent and steely heart...

---

In reality, Han Mingyue’s complex feelings stemmed from his ignorance of Zhen Yu’s mentality.

Everyone who knew both of them was aware that Zhen Yu and Fu Yu had grown up together, childhood friends for over a decade.

But what they didn’t know was that Zhen Yu had been reborn.

In her previous life, Fu Yu had died the year they graduated from elementary school, while Zhen Yu lived for more than twenty years before taking her own life, reborn to come back.

Honestly, which adults, who have worked in society for several years, would still be unable to forget an elementary school classmate who passed away more than a decade ago? At most, they might occasionally remember a name!

Even after living for a year or two with Fu Yu since being reborn, in Zhen Yu’s eyes, he was just a neighbor’s bratty kid who loved to flirt and cause trouble!

Her care for him was mostly out of respect for the time right after her rebirth when Grandpa Fu gathered people to save someone, and for the sake of Zhen Yan.

As far as friendship goes, there might have been a little, but definitely not much!

Therefore, breaking off her ties with Fu Yu was utterly effortless for her! Not a shred of regret!

In fact, she was somewhat relieved by his persistence in foolish behavior! If he hadn’t been so determined to court disaster, she wouldn’t have been able to be so heartless.

And if she weren’t that heartless, they would still be friends!

He would still be able to appear in her life, occasionally meddling, and might even come between her and Han Mingyue.

If it were her, having a mutual friend who once pursued Han Mingyue always lingering around him, she would certainly be disgustingly annoyed!

So to say, Zhen Yu was not only untroubled but actually quite satisfied with the current outcome.
