Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Mending the Fold After the Sheep Are Lost

Zhen Yu didn’t realize until she had taken off her cotton-padded jacket that her entire fingers had frozen stiff, and hurriedly climbed onto the warmest part of the kang to warm her hands and feet.

She and her brother had merely gone out to see off the Han Family Brothers, which is why she hadn’t brought a hat or gloves.

At that moment, she couldn’t help but feel terrified. What if she got frostbite again? Could she accidentally repeat past mistakes?

Zhen Yu desperately rubbed her hands together, anxiously thinking.

Her mind was filled with thoughts of frostbite, and she wasn’t even concerned that Bai Yong might call her a shrew the next second.

Han Mingyue noticed her unusual behavior and took her hands behind everyone’s back.

His hands were so cold that he shivered.

"How did they get so cold?" Han Mingyue whispered softly.

After trying to warm them up together briefly and finding it ineffective, he said, "Put them inside my sleeve."

Zhen Yu was stunned, did he even realize what he was saying?

Seeing Zhen Yu not moving, Han Mingyue grabbed her hands and stuffed them into his sleeve, then said, "Hold on~"

Zhen Yu silently gripped Han Mingyue’s arms, her palms burning hot, as if a warm current was flowing through her veins to her heart.

-

The two quieted down, and the sounds of conversation around them became more distinct.

"Xiao Yong~ did your Sister Xiaoyu catch up to you?" Mrs. Fu confirmed again.

"Yes~ Sister Xiaoyu ran very fast and she’s really amazing."

Fu Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, "Impossible!"

Bai Yong immediately got angry, "How can it be impossible! Sister Xiaoyu is the best! She chased the bad guy away! I want to be like Sister Xiaoyu when I grow up!"

"I meant she doesn’t run fast~" Fu Yu scratched his head and explained: "I didn’t say she isn’t impressive."

Bai Yong glared at him, then continued, "Sister Xiaoyu kicked that bad guy into the air,"

Zhen Yan, worried that Bai Yong would mention the blood on Zhen Yu’s face after her fight with the man, quickly interjected, "Right! When I got there, that guy was lying on the ground, playing dead! Then he ran away when we weren’t looking."

Bai Yong scratched his head, seemingly unsure what to think but didn’t add more, only emphasizing again, "Sister Xiaoyu is the best!"

Bai Xue looked at Zhen Yu with gratitude, her eyes moist, "Xiaoyu! I don’t know how to thank you enough!"

Everyone also turned to look at Zhen Yu.

Zhen Yu quietly withdrew her hands when Bai Xue called her name, nervously pressing them under her thighs.

Feeling the great pressure under everyone’s gaze, she nervously shook her head, "No need to thank me."

"How can that be?!" Mrs. Fu immediately said: "Like this! Just tell your family and come over to play, all good kids! Auntie will make you a delicious meal tonight!"

The group of children looked at each other, and in the end, under the eager gazes of Fu Yu and Bai Xue, they all nodded and agreed.

-

It was a false alarm.

No one brought up that sugar gourd seller again.

After a while, Zhen Yu said she wanted to go home to read, and Zhen Yan unexpectedly wanted to accompany his sister home instead of staying to play with Fu Yu.

The Han Family Brothers also excused themselves under the guise of heading home to greet someone, saying they would come back in the evening to have dinner with the Zhen siblings.

Bai Xue and Fu Yu saw them out, repeatedly reminding them to come over early.

Zhen Yan and Zhen Yu returned to the neighboring yard, and as soon as they entered the house, Zhen Yan pulled his sister around to check on her.

Zhen Yu let him look her over.

"Little sister, you didn’t get hurt, did you?" Zhen Yan thought about the blood on the snow and was still a bit uneasy and asked again.

"No," Zhen Yu replied softly.

Relieved, Zhen Yan sighed deeply, "Little sister~ don’t do foolish things alone anymore! Today you could have waited for me with him,"

"I know," Zhen Yu also realized she had been too impulsive today, but she had long been accustomed to facing everything alone.

Now that the fight has happened and he has run away, even if there are any sequelae, I can only blame my bad luck.

Although it’s a bit late to realize, it’s not too late to mend, and from now on, I’ll listen to my brother and be more careful about what I say and do.

For the sake of not scaring the children and for the well-being of family and friends around me, I can’t be as assertive and independent as I was in my past life.

Now I am a monk with a temple~ I can’t just run away, and I can’t provoke retaliation.

"You know that’s good." Zhen Yan grabbed his sister’s left hand to inspect it, it was warm, and the swelling on the back of the hand had subsided, turning a bit blue.

"Our mom is right, you are a girl, don’t let this matter tarnish your reputation~"

"Um~ I’ll change!"

Seeing his sister taking his advice, Zhen Yan finally let her go, saying, "Aren’t you supposed to read books? Go on~"

Zhen Yu had no mood to read books; after talking with her brother, she was so tired that she fell asleep immediately.

She slept until it was dark before she opened her eyes.

The room was silent, not a sound from anyone, Zhen Yu felt as if she was back in her rental room before her rebirth.

Wake up alone, go to sleep alone.

Eat alone, practice martial arts alone, stay up late reading novels alone.

No one cared, nor did she care about anyone or anything except frequently searching online for news related to a certain name, her life was like stagnant water.

Lost in the past in the dark, before Zhen Yu could even reflect, the door of the small bedroom suddenly creaked lightly, and voices came from the doorway.

"How long has she been asleep?" Han Mingyue’s voice was purposely lowered, sounding distant in the darkness, almost surreal.

Zhen Yan’s voice was also quiet, "She slept as soon as she got back, she might be really exhausted."

He paused, then added, "I’ll go call her. It’s already four thirty, Aunt Fu has been urging us to come over~"

"...okay."

Someone in the dark headed towards her small bed, probably her brother.

Zhen Yu coughed softly and sat up.

Zhen Yan immediately asked in a soft voice, "Awake?"

"Uh-huh~"

Zhen Yu felt her nose was a bit stuffy, could she be catching a cold?

As she was thinking, her brother turned on the bedroom light, momentarily dazzling her, and Zhen Yu raised her hand to cover her eyes.

"Get dressed, let’s go over, don’t make the people from Old Fu’s house wait for us." Zhen Yan pulled open the curtains and said.

Zhen Yu got used to the light, pulled off her covers, and was about to get out of bed when she shivered from the cold, quickly crawling back under the covers.

"Bro! I think I’m getting a cold, do we have any medicine at home?"

"I’ll go look!"

"You’re getting a cold?"

Two voices came simultaneously, and Zhen Yan turned to search for medicine.

Zhen Yu pulled the curtains aside and spotted Han Mingyue sitting at her desk looking at her.

"I’m a bit cold," Zhen Yu said softly.

Han Mingyue stood up and walked to Zhen Yu, placing his hand on her forehead, which was slightly warm, "You’re a bit hot, take some medicine!"

"Okay."

"How is your hand?"

Zhen Yu thought he was asking about the back of her hand, and immediately said, "It’s fine."

Han Mingyue handed her a small tube of ointment, "It was cold for so long today, heat some water tonight and soak it, remember to apply this."

Zhen Yu took the ointment and looked at it, it was for the prevention and treatment of frostbite.

Suddenly, she felt a complex emotion stirring inside her; in her previous life, he had not been as considerate as he was now.
