Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 664 - 663: Asking Despite Knowing the Answer
When the long break ended on Monday, Teacher Jiang called Bai Xue over and gave her all the donations that had been gathered earlier.
Bai Xue didn’t really want to accept it, but she couldn’t bring herself to refuse the kindness of her respected teacher.
So she had no choice but to reluctantly accept the money.
What Teacher Jiang didn’t mention was that Teacher Cao and he had secretly added a bit more to it.
And Zhen Yu and Han Mingyue had gone together to find him early in the morning and added some too. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Although the money wasn’t much for a family in difficulty, it was still equivalent to half a semester of living expenses for Bai Xue.
Moreover, Teacher Jiang was planning to report Bai Xue’s situation to the higher-ups to see if the school could waive her tuition fees for the next two years as a special hardship case...
——
As a result, Bai Xue took the money and ran straight to Class 2 to find Zhen Yu! And she stuffed all the money into her arms in one go!
Only then did she speak, under the astonished gaze of Zhen Yu.
"I’ve already inquired! The wheelchair you bought for my mother couldn’t possibly be as cheap as you claimed!"
"Uh, no,"
Zhen Yu was at a loss for words when Bai Xue suddenly added, "No need to explain! With that telltale look of lying in your eyes, it would be strange if I couldn’t tell!"
Zhen Yu could only offer a wry smile.
"My mom’s not going out now, and I don’t want her to worry about the money, so I didn’t tell her!" Bai Xue seemed a bit embarrassed, "Originally, I was planning to work during the summer vacation to earn money to make up for the difference! But today I got an unexpected windfall, so I hurried over to make it up to you! Though I’m not sure if it’s enough,"
"It’s enough, more than enough! It’s too much!" Zhen Yu quickly interjected and even tried to return half of it to Bai Xue!
Unfortunately, as soon as Bai Xue saw her move, she knew what Zhen Yu intended to do, so she quickly dropped a sentence and dashed away.
"I have to go, if there’s extra, use it to buy that thing for my mom!"
Watching Bai Xue’s retreating figure, Zhen Yu didn’t think it appropriate to chase after her and wrestle, and could only sigh helplessly in the end.
"Ah..."
The money that had only been given out that morning! Not to mention it had made a round outside and come back, it even brought a crowd of friends back with it!
What a situation!
——
"Bai Xue gave it to you?"
As soon as Han Mingyue saw the stack of money Zhen Yu was holding, she immediately guessed.
Zhen Yu nodded, "Mhm! Now all the donations have ended up with me..."
"Heheha..." Han Mingyue was amused by her words, but still comforted her, "Stop overthinking it! When she really can’t cope, it’s not too late for you to lend a hand then."
"That’s all we can do..." Zhen Yu said, and as she did, she pulled her backpack out of the desk hole and unzipped the front pocket.
Just as she was about to stuff the money in, Zhen Yu suddenly felt something in the pocket and decided to pull it out first.
"..." Seeing the envelope, Zhen Yu immediately remembered!
After her argument with Shen Qi last night, she had returned to the dormitory and watched a fight scene marathon, and then forgot about the letter tearing incident!
As a result, Zhen Yu, with the letter in one hand and the money in the other, had barely paused for a second when Han Mingyue reached out and took the letter.
"What’s this?" He held up the letter, asking knowingly.
He had received nearly a hundred such letters, how could he not know what it was?!
So his reason for asking was purely to see how Zhen Yu would respond to him.
Zhen Yu’s reaction couldn’t have been more straightforward as she immediately answered, "A letter!"
Han Mingyue fell silent!
"What letter?"
Zhen Yu looked at Han Mingyue with a look reserved for idiots.
"What else could it be but a love letter! You know I haven’t submitted any articles for a long time, so it definitely can’t be a letter from an editor!"
"...You received a love letter, have you read it?" Han Mingyue felt his emotions were a bit complicated; he couldn’t quite identify the feeling.
"I didn’t read it! But I know what’s inside," Zhen Yu candidly said, "Bai Xue read it!"
Han Mingyue: "..."
Suddenly, he didn’t quite know what to say...
But his silence led Zhen Yu to misunderstand.
All Han Mingyue saw was her stuffing the money into her backpack while saying nonchalantly, "Do you want to see it? If you want to, just look!"
"...Shall I read it?"
Zhen Yu waved her hand casually, "Go ahead! It’s no big deal."
Seeing she really didn’t care, Han Mingyue took a deep breath after all and pulled out the letter to unfold it...
"Ling Yang? The heartthrob of Senior High School?"
"Uh-huh." Zhen Yu responded to Han Mingyue without grasping his reaction.
And upon realizing that it was this guy who was after Zhen Yu, Han Mingyue’s feelings were truly indescribable!
Moreover, he subconsciously compared himself to the other guy.
After struggling internally for a while, Han Mingyue eventually asked, "...Haven’t you known each other for a while?"
Zhen Yu shrugged her shoulders, "I don’t know what got into him, suddenly pulling a stunt like this!"
"...Xiao Yu."
"?"
"Why did you let me see this letter?"
"??" Zhen Yu blinked, "Would you believe me if I said it wasn’t on purpose?"
The seriousness that had just settled on Han Mingyue’s face broke into laughter! "Stop kidding around! I’m having a serious conversation with you."
Zhen Yu with a straight face emphasized, "I’m not joking! It really wasn’t on purpose!"
"But even if you saw it, I don’t think it’s a big deal! After all, I have the right to refuse, and everyone has the freedom to write letters!"
Han Mingyue’s gaze flickered.
"Xiao Yu! If I said I received letters like this, would you be upset?"
"Of course not! There’s nothing to be upset about!" Zhen Yu replied without hesitation, her tone utterly sincere!
Then... then she was figuratively slapped in the face...
Because Han Mingyue suddenly pulled out a stack of love letters from his backpack and handed them to her!
Yes! Zhen Yu wasn’t seeing things! With just a casual reach, he produced a whole stack...
Seeing Zhen Yu’s eyes widen in shock, Han Mingyue could only offer a helpless wry smile.
"This, this is way too many..." Zhen Yu took them.
With just a cursory glance, she could tell there were more than a dozen!
So many girls were secretly chasing after him!
Just like Bai Xue had said! Turns out he was someone who got so many love letters that it was tiresome...
"I wasn’t here yesterday! So normally, it’s just four or five..."
Facing Zhen Yu’s sharp gaze, Han Mingyue found he couldn’t explain anymore.
But Zhen Yu posed a deadly question—"So you come to class earlier than me every day! Is it just to hide these things?!"
