Chapter 76: Chapter 76 Zhen Yu Injured

Han Mingyue got up and immediately went to support Zhen Yu, anxiously repeating the question, "What’s wrong? What happened?"

As Zhen Yu stood up with the support of Han Mingyue, she said, "I just bumped my elbow, are you okay?"

"I’m fine!" Han Mingyue immediately responded.

He circled around Zhen Yu, patting off the snowflakes on her clothes, yet he didn’t pay any attention to himself.

After patting her down, he turned his head and saw his dumbstruck younger brother, then quickly instructed: "Tell the teacher, I’m taking Zhen Yu back to the classroom first."

Saying this, he gently pulled on Zhen Yu’s wrist, leading her toward the first class of the second year of junior high school.

Their voices carried on the wind.

"Just pat off the snow yourself~"

"I know, I know~"

Pat—Pat—

"Hurry up~ Let me see your injury."

-

It wasn’t until the two had walked far away that Han Jiayang came back to his senses.

He called out unhappily, "Bro~"

At least make yourself clear! Which teacher should I report to? You, me, Zhen Yu, we all have different homeroom teachers...

Eventually, Han Jiayang resigned himself to find Teacher Cao, for though Teacher Cao was not his homeroom teacher, she was his math teacher.

"Teacher Cao~ Zhen Yu fell over, my brother is taking her back to the classroom to see if it’s serious."

Teacher Cao furrowed her brows slightly, "How did she fall? Where did she get hurt?"

Han Jiayang mumbled and finally muttered, "She got her arm caught."

"Alright! I got it." Teacher Cao, with years of teaching experience, could tell from Han Jiayang’s expression that it was his doing.

But it wasn’t the time to educate the student, and considering the thick clothes and heavy snow of winter, it probably wasn’t anything serious, so Teacher Cao wasn’t too worried.

-

In fact, it didn’t seem like a big deal.

After reaching the classroom, Zhen Yu first took off her hat and gloves. When removing the glove from her left hand, she almost winced but then gritted her teeth to suppress it.

After taking off her coat, Han Mingyue gently helped her roll up the sleeves of her sweater and undershirt.

Zhen Yu’s elbow was just a bit red, the skin wasn’t even broken.

Zhen Yu couldn’t see it and didn’t dare to lift it too forcefully, she carelessly touched it and said, "It doesn’t hurt anymore! It feels smooth, maybe I just hit a nerve."

Han Mingyue fell silent for a moment, staring into Zhen Yu’s eyes for a few seconds before saying, "You,"

He only got out one word before he couldn’t continue.

What to say? That you’re silly for not taking better care of yourself? Even though someone cushioned your fall, you still managed to hurt your arm?

But her action at that moment was obviously to protect him.

Zhen Yu, not wanting Han Mingyue to worry, forced a light-hearted laugh and said, "What about me? If I weren’t worried about you getting a concussion, would I have gone to such lengths?"

Han Mingyue bit his lip slightly, then asked softly, "Are you really not hurting anymore?"

"It doesn’t hurt!" Zhen Yu said, gently swinging her arm, "Look, I’m fine!"

Han Mingyue, seeing that Zhen Yu was indeed moving freely, finally felt at ease.

Zhen Yu gritted her teeth, quickly rolled down her sleeves, dressed in her coat, put on her hat, and said goodbye to Han Mingyue before returning to the first class of the first year of junior high school.

-

After Han Mingyue saw Zhen Yu out, he returned to his seat and started to daydream.

He was thinking, if he had been on top at that time, could he have done what Zhen Yu did today.

The answer was obvious: no.

If he had to choose, he would be happy to protect her as Zhen Yu had protected herself.

But at that brief moment, he didn’t have time to react at all and just fell dumbfounded to the ground.

In that millisecond, everything was a subconscious reaction.

Subconscious...

The young boy sank into deep thought.

After returning to her own classroom, Zhen Yu’s first action upon sitting down was to check on her left hand.

The back of her hand, which had only been slightly red when she had glanced at it earlier, had now turned into a bright red patch.

Especially around the base of her middle finger, it looked just as if she had punched a wall with clenched fists.

Zhen Yu examined her painful hand and sighed.

Fortunately, it wasn’t her fingers that were hurt. This spot should heal easily.

And it was her left hand, so it wouldn’t affect her studies or other tasks.

Resting her forearms lightly on the edge of the desk, Zhen Yu sighed again.

The elbow didn’t hurt unless touched, but once bumped, it was painful. Tonight it’s likely to bruise, turning either blue or purple.

Today, she had really been tricked badly by Han Jiayang.

Tomorrow is Saturday. On Monday, she would prepare a lunchbox full of meat and carrots for him!

Thinking about how much Han Jiayang disliked carrots, Zhen Yu cheerfully made this decision.

After seemingly uneventful classes, she thought as long as she was careful for the next few days, her injury wouldn’t be exposed, but it was discovered by Bai Xue right after school ended that evening.

As soon as Bai Xue saw Zhen Yu, she excitingly pounced over, grabbing Zhen Yu’s hands and shaking them while shouting, "Ah~~~ Let’s build a snowman tomorrow, Xiao Yu!"

Zhen Yu didn’t expect her to be so excited about the snow, and without being careful, her hands were caught.

"Hisss-"

A breath so tiny it couldn’t be any smaller, but it was still caught by Han Mingyue, who had been quietly paying attention all along.

"Xiao Yu!" He quickly stepped forward, pulling Bai Xue away, "What happened?"

"Uh," Lying was never Zhen Yu’s strong suit; she stumbled over her words in an instant.

By this time, how could Han Mingyue not understand that Zhen Yu lied to him that morning.

"Does your hand hurt?" While asking, Han Mingyue recalled the events as he accurately grasped Zhen Yu’s left wrist, intending to remove her glove and take a closer look.

Zhen Yu reached out with her right hand and pressed it onto Han Mingyue’s.

Zhen Yan stood to one side, listening to their conversation without a word, eager to see what was wrong with his sister’s hand.

Unable to contain his impatience, Fu Yu squeezed through as well, "What happened, what happened? Does Xiao Yu’s hand hurt? Is it from studying too hard?! Who told you to write that much every day!"

Han Jiayang rolled his eyes dramatically, never having heard of writing to the point of hand pain! Wondering if it was possible to not speak nonsense!

"Frostbite! Let’s check when I get home."

Han Mingyue: "...Okay!"

After agreeing, he didn’t let go of her hand and, with her glove still on, he grabbed Zhen Yu’s hand and quickly walked towards the Zhen Family’s house.

Zhen Yu cooperatively followed his pace.

The faces of the people behind them were a mix of interesting expressions.

Han Mingyue wore a proud look as he glared at Zhen Yan, his face nearly spelling out the words "I! Wasn’t! Wrong! Was! I!"

Zhen Yan’s face turned a little dark. His obedient little sister was pulled away—what could he say? What could he possibly say!

Bai Xue had an expression of understanding and couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle sneakily, being the first one to follow along.

Fu Yu...

His expression was particularly complex, as if he had spilled a box of mixed seasonings, nobody could tell what he was trying to convey...

The three boys also followed in silence one after the other.

Mutually understanding, everyone gathered at the Zhen Family’s house, which really meant that Fu Yu and Bai Xue also followed to see what happened to Zhen Yu’s hand.

Zhen Yu, surrounded by everyone like a giant panda, felt extremely uncomfortable.

But, due to the concern of her friends, she couldn’t get angry.

She voluntarily removed her gloves and stretched out her left hand in front of everyone, resignedly playing dead.

"Ouch! Xiao Yu, what happened to your hand? Does it hurt?" Bai Xue asked, first surprised, then with concern.

Han Mingyue felt a tightness in his chest. The girl’s exposed left hand was all red and swollen.
