Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 683 - 682: How Long Will It Take to Arrive?
Early the next morning, when Zhen Yu set out for her morning run, she bumped into Han Mingyue downstairs, and the two immediately exchanged smiles.
Zhen Yan, standing to the side, couldn’t help but feel sour and said sarcastically, "Today, your brother is off to the execution ground, and you can’t even offer me a smile first? Not a word of encouragement for me, my heart is..."
Without turning her head, Zhen Yu glanced at her brother, who was being melodramatic, but still humored him by saying, "Good luck!"
"That’s it? Just two words, and you think you’re done with me?" Zhen Yan’s face was full of disbelief.
After thinking for a moment, Zhen Yu added another sentence, "Don’t stress too much! If it doesn’t work out, just retake the year."
"I," Zhen Yan gasped, nearly suffocating himself in the process!
Seeing the situation, Han Mingyue quickly smoothed things over, "Come on, let’s go! Zhen Yan has an exam today! Let’s just do one lap and then come back early for breakfast!"
"Alright!" Zhen Yu immediately agreed.
When the three of them headed towards the school gate, they discovered First High School’s teaching buildings and the sports field were unexpectedly blocked off. Even the main gate of First High School was sealed, leaving only a small gate for entry and exit. Additionally, a notice was posted on the glass of the gatehouse in big letters — "8:00-17:00 exam time, entry of unrelated personnel is prohibited!"
"How come they’re not letting people in and out! What about the boarding students?" Zhen Yan blurted out a remark.
However, Han Mingyue calmly and rationally said, "The school has a cafeteria, so meals won’t be a problem! If there’s something urgent, they can come and go early in the morning or late at night!"
But all of a sudden, Zhen Yu pitched in, "That’s too much hassle! I’m not planning on staying here the next few days, what about you, Han Mingyue?"
Without even thinking, Han Mingyue replied, "Then I’m not staying either!"
Zhen Yan was the first to leave the school, waved to Han Jiaoyang who was waiting outside, and then said, "Let’s just have breakfast outside then! Afterwards, you and Han Mingyue don’t need to accompany me inside! Just go do whatever you need to do!"
Han Mingyue didn’t utter a sound, but Zhen Yu said, "Sure! We’ll wait for you at the school gate in the evening, then we can all have dinner together!"
"Great! That’s settled then."
——
Zhen Yan thought what his sister meant by ’waiting for him at the school gate’ was to come find him at First High School after the exams were over.
But in reality! After having breakfast apart, she and the Han Family Brothers each went home to freshen up, then gathered right before eight o’clock at the gate of First High School. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Then the three of them sat down together in the shade outside the examination venue!
"Bro! How’s Zhen Yan’s revision going? That Public Security University he mentioned, I heard the admission scores are pretty high, right?"
As soon as Han Jiaoyang sat down, he started asking questions.
"The overall scores in the mock exams were fine! It’s just the real exam itself..."
Although it wasn’t his own college entrance exam, seeing the grand display at the school gate made Han Mingyue feel a bit nervous.
After listening to the dialogue between the Han Family Brothers, Zhen Yu smiled easily and said, "There shouldn’t be any big issues! Remember the time he fell into the river and was saved by Uncle Han? Did you hear him cry? That guy has strong psychological quality!"
Han Mingyue: "...Are you really not worried at all?"
Unlike her cautious brother, Han Jiaoyang possessed a blind confidence towards everything around her.
"Indeed! Zhen Yu makes sense! Since Zhen Yan can score so high usually, he will definitely do well in the college entrance exam!"
Zhen Yu gave Han Mingyue a smile and took her hand, saying, "What’s there to worry about! Didn’t I tell you? If it comes to it, we can just retake the year!"
Han Mingyue: "..."
Fine! Whatever you say goes! After all, he’s your own brother...
——
The three of them were chatting idly like this when about half an hour later, Zhen Yu’s phone suddenly rang!
She pulled out her phone and saw to her surprise that it was a call from Mrs. Zhen!
Zhen Yu thought it might be her mother wanting to check in about her brother’s college entrance exam today, so she quickly answered it.
But then...
"Hello! Xiao Yu, why can’t I get through to your brother’s phone?"
Zhen Yu’s demeanor instantly turned cold, "Isn’t he taking the college entrance exam today, don’t you know?"
"Oh... that explains it! So it’s today! No wonder. Well, I’m calling exactly about that!"
"You’re too late! His exam started more than half an hour ago!"
"Oh... Well, it has started, so be it! It’s all the same if you pick up. I just wanted to ask, when are you planning to come to the Capital? Is your brother coming over right after his exams? Mom misses you all!"
Ha! Zhen Yu’s lips curved slightly, and her voice was cool and detached: "Impossible! He still needs to go for a medical check and fill out his university preference forms, he’s got a lot on his plate!"
"Oh..." Mrs. Zhen’s voice seemed a bit disappointed, "Then how long before you can come over?"
Zhen Yu’s eyes shifted, suddenly sensing something amiss with the phone call. She immediately probed, "You’re so anxious for us to come over, is there something wrong?"
"Yes... there is a little matter, Aunt Li, her family has run into some trouble! So, she’s eager to go back..."
Zhen Yu instantly understood what was going on! But she deliberately played dumb, asking, "If she needs to return, she can just go! Why does that mean we must come over? For what?!"
——
At this moment, Mrs. Zhen was sitting on the sofa in her home in the Capital, and Aunt Li had already placed her packed luggage next to the shoe rack by the door, standing in the middle of the living room, clearly ready to leave any moment.
Mrs. Zhen was so frustrated by her daughter’s words that she covered her phone’s microphone with her hand and quietly pleaded with Aunt Li again, "Can’t you wait any longer before leaving? The brothers will be here soon..."
"You must be joking! My son is in the hospital with a work injury! He’s waiting for someone to take care of him! And you’re asking me to wait, what on earth for? Not to be harsh, but initially, everyone was worried about your younger son’s hydrocephalus, which is why they agreed it’s better to have an extra person around for assistance and peace of mind!"
"Now the child is nearly one year old! Last time we went to the hospital, what did the doctor say? His health indices are all within normal ranges! Doesn’t that mean he’s fine? A child with no health issues, and here you are, a fully capable adult in her early forties, unable to care for him alone? Why are you so insistent on holding me back from leaving?!"
"Could it be that you’ve found the past year too comfortable and started to believe you are a rich wife? If that’s so, since your family has money, just hire someone else! After all, your daughter and son can earn money; spending won’t hurt you! But I genuinely have urgent matters, and I must leave today, no matter what!"
