Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 679 - 678: Hit the Nail on the Head

Han Mingyue’s plan was pretty good, but reality was— the moment the two of them returned to the school and entered the classroom, they heard the news that senior high school students would be let out for vacation immediately after school at noon today.

So after quietly sharing a glance with Zhen Yu, Han Mingyue came to a whole new understanding of why Ling Yang suddenly left for the cafeteria just now. That guy was probably planning to pull off a killer move before the college entrance exam!

Luckily, Jia Ming was clever enough! He blocked the way and didn’t let Ling Yang come over! Just for that...

"Jia Ming’er! I’ll treat you to dinner tonight!" Han Mingyue suddenly turned around and spoke to Jia Ming!

Jia Ming only stunned for half a second before he got it!

"Sure thing! Then I won’t be polite! It’s rare for a handsome guy to treat! Let me tell you, I want barbecue!"

"No problem! Let’s go after school!" Han Mingyue agreed with gleeful eyes!

Zhen Yu expressed a sort of tacit consent to Han Mingyue’s gesture.

After all, they had been sitting at adjacent desks for a while and were quite familiar classmates. It wasn’t a big deal to eat together!

Moreover, Zhen Yu quite liked Jia Ming as a person.

Although sometimes his actions were a bit odd! But compared to other people in Han Mingyue’s dormitory, Jia Ming was actually one who lived quite authentically! He didn’t fuss over fame and wealth and wasn’t too caught up in the minutiae...

This kind of person, who didn’t have any ambitions towards himself or those around him, Zhen Yu had begrudgingly categorized him as a friend.

——

So, during the breaks between the next few classes, Zhen Yu’s ears were filled with Jia Ming’s low grumbling.

"Everyone in senior high is off already! Why aren’t we on vacation yet? Do we have to wait until tomorrow?"

Every now and then, Han Mingyue would turn around to console him, "Tomorrow then! We’re not missing much this afternoon."

"But there’s evening self-study!" Jia Ming’s main gripe was here, "If we didn’t have evening self-study, we could go enjoy skewers tonight!"

The classmates sitting around Jia Ming, including Zhen Yu, found his thoughts quite fanciful upon hearing this!

But then, just as the penultimate class in the afternoon ended, the homeroom teacher, Teacher Wu, suddenly entered the second-year class and stood on the podium to announce major news!

"Students! Tonight’s evening self-study is cancelled!"

Amidst a wave of surprise, Zhen Yu covertly turned her head to glance behind her, and just happened to catch Jia Ming with a goofy grin.

She couldn’t help but inwardly mock, "Is this guy a spirit of prophecy or something? He actually hit the nail on the head! Wishing something into reality!"

Teacher Wu picked up the blackboard eraser and tapped it on the desk, waiting for the students to quiet down before continuing, "First High School is one of the sites for the college entrance exam, and we must prepare the exam site by tomorrow morning! So after I finish listing the requirements, everyone needs to start cleaning up the classroom right away! Don’t dawdle!"

"Firstly! Take all your belongings and pack everything without leaving a single item! Then! All desks need to be turned around facing my direction and arranged as single desks! Any extra desks and chairs should be stacked at the back of the classroom! Remember to stack them haphazardly! Now, everyone start cleaning up! Once that’s done, you can finish up and leave school!"

——

"Oh yeah!" An easily-excitable boy yelled out loud!

Teacher Wu, however, just lightly glanced at him and made it clear that she was not interested in intervening excessively.

Seeing this, the girls began to chatter among themselves and swiftly started to clean their desk spaces...

Yet, Zhen Yu had nothing to pack away—her stationery and books were quickly stuffed into her backpack.

It was the same for Han Mingyue.

So, the two of them stood up first. Han Mingyue moved his desk to the aisle, and Zhen Yu quickly grabbed their backpacks, following him to the aisle. Then Han Mingyue turned Zhen Yu’s desk around.

By the time Han Mingyue got his own desk turned as well, most of the classmates had begun to move, too. With many hands making light work, all the classroom desks soon faced the podium.

Then everyone spontaneously grabbed cleaning tools.

Some took brooms and dustpans, some grabbed mops and headed straight for the water room, and others directly carried buckets and cloths to fetch water.

Teacher Wu looked at her watch and noticing there was still time before school ended, she added crisply,

"Let’s also wipe down all the desks, chairs, and windows! Consider it as you juniors cheering on the seniors for their college entrance exam!"

No one had any objections.

Since everyone was about to be on vacation anyway, no one minded putting in a bit more time, so they all just did as the teacher instructed.

——

When the girls who went for water returned, Zhen Yu stepped up and twisted out a rag, immediately starting to clean the nearest window.

Han Mingyue had run off to do something else somewhere! Since he couldn’t possibly get lost, Zhen Yu didn’t bother with him.

It was only after Zhen Yu finished cleaning the window that she jumped down from the windowsill and heard someone calling her at the classroom door.

"Zhen Yu! Come here for a second, will you? The window on the door is too high; we can only reach halfway!"

It was a short girl she rarely interacted with, their relationship limited to a nod when passing each other in the corridor.

Zhen Yu instinctively looked around before realizing she was the only one who had come down from the windowsill.

The other girls were still battling with their respective windows.

Since that was the case, naturally, Zhen Yu had no reason to slack off. She promptly replied, "Okay! Coming!"

If you aren’t tall enough, a table will do! After the girl and her companion stepped aside, Zhen Yu didn’t bother climbing on the chair by the table edge but directly lifted her leg onto the table.

Her shortcut action, however, led both short girls to exclaim, "Being tall is great! Unlike me, with my little short legs..."

"Exactly! I also envy Zhen Yu! Hey? Are you like 1.7 meters tall?"

After Zhen Yu stood up holding the door frame, she first replied to her, "No! 169!"

Then she reached out and requested, "Rag!"

"Oh, oh! Here you go! 169 huh! Isn’t that basically the same as 1.7 meters!" The girl handed over a cloth to Zhen Yu while exclaiming again. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Zhen Yu didn’t continue the conversation but instead stood on tiptoes and stretched her arms to start wiping the window.
