Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 696 - 695: It’s My Fault!

"Eh? This boy," Liu Ting hadn’t seen Han Mingyue for a long time, so she only found his portrait somewhat familiar.

But after hearing her words, Qian Duoduo immediately turned her head to look at the portrait in Liu Ting’s hands.

With just one glance! Qian Duoduo recognized it!

"This is Han Mingyue? Must be drawn by Zhen Yu..."

"Who is Han Mingyue, ah! Isn’t he her what!?" Liu Ting suddenly realized something, made a gesture towards the kitchen, and asked.

Qian Duoduo nodded silently, realizing to herself: "That’s right! How come we haven’t seen Han Mingyue around today!"

Could it be because they were here? Good thing she and Liu Ting were only staying in Qi City for a few days, the impact shouldn’t be too significant...

After putting the portrait back exactly as it was, Liu Ting and Qian Duoduo each picked a book and went back to the sofa.

Then they turned down the TV’s volume and quietly started reading extracurricular books on the sofa.

The breeze through the hallway brought a chill, and in the peaceful space, there was only the white noise from the TV. It didn’t take long before Liu Ting fell asleep.

Qian Duoduo didn’t bother to disturb her, completely immersed in the world of her book.

Until Zhen Yu came out of the kitchen and gently tapped her shoulder, pulling her back from the ocean of knowledge.

"It’s almost 5pm, go call Teacher Qian over! By the way, can you find your way to the hotel and my house? It’s just this one street outside."

"I can! I have a great sense of direction! No matter where it is, I only need to go once to memorize it completely!"

"That’s great! Off you go!" Zhen Yu said with a hint of envy.

"Okay."

——

Perhaps because Teacher Qian was present, dinner was happy but the three girls were still somewhat reserved.

Realizing this, Teacher Qian quickly left as soon as dinner was over!

Qian Duoduo and Liu Ting then helped Zhen Yu clean up the table and wash the dishes. After tidying up the kitchen, the three girls tacitly went into Zhen Yu’s bedroom and sat down together on the bed.

"Finally, the three of us can sit together quietly and share what’s in our hearts!" Liu Ting, hugging a pillow, happily said, "I’ve been looking forward to this day for so long!"

"Why didn’t you come over earlier then?" Zhen Yu took the opportunity to ask.

Qian Duoduo pursed her lips and admitted with her head down: "It’s my fault! Don’t know what Lu Wei said to his mother again, she came to make a scene at my house! It made my mom sick from anger."

Zhen Yu immediately asked with concern (and gossip): "What did she make a scene about this time!?"

Qian Duoduo hesitated, seemingly embarrassed to bring it up.

Seeing this, Liu Ting rolled her eyes enormously and consoled, "It was Lu Wei’s mom causing trouble, embarrassing herself like some shrew in the market! It’s not your fault! What have you got to be embarrassed about!"

Hearing this, Qian Duoduo looked up at Liu Ting. After thinking for a moment, she finally told Zhen Yu the truth: "...Lu Wei’s mom was screaming the same old story, insisting I seduced her son! Even saying Lu Wei is like a soul bewitched by me..."

Zhen Yu: "..."

It looked like it could be that Lu Wei had another conflict with his mom because of Qian Duoduo!

But with a woman like Lu Wei’s mom! How could she tolerate her son’s elbow turning outwards!

Not to mention he’s actually favoring another woman from the bottom of his heart! After Lu Wei’s mom got stimulated, it’s no wonder she went to take her anger out on Qian Duoduo!

This is simply making things worse for Qian Duoduo...

——

As soon as Zhen Yu figured out the crux of the matter, she immediately changed the subject.

"Do you still like him, Duoduo?"

Before Qian Duoduo could answer, Liu Ting choked out, "Like hell! Who would like that kind of boy who still hasn’t weaned at seventeen or eighteen? Whoever likes him is jinxed! What are you staring at? I’m talking about you!"

Although Liu Ting’s retort left her speechless, fortunately, Qian Duoduo was still firm in shaking her head to Zhen Yu.

"Yeah! It’s good that you don’t like him anymore! This kind of mama’s boy, you better stay away in the future—"

Zhen Yu hadn’t finished her sentence with "far away" when Liu Ting asked curiously, "Mama’s boy? What’s that mean?"

"Heh!" Zhen Yu couldn’t help but chuckle. "The meaning of mama’s boy is—no matter how old he gets, deep down, he is still his mother’s darling!"

Qian Duoduo raised an eyebrow.

"Darling?!"

"Here, ’darling’ refers to the immature character of some men! These men, other than circling around their mothers all day, if the mother points east, they wouldn’t dare go west! Whatever the matter, they let their mothers take the lead and never dare to rebel! One, they have no opinion. Two, they’re not independent!"

"Ugh, that’s freaking disgusting!" Liu Ting didn’t hesitate to scorn. "Isn’t this describing Lu Wei!"

Qian Duoduo hesitated for a moment, but then also nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, that’s just his personality! Back then, he was terrified of his mother finding out! Every time he mentioned to me..."

Seeing Qian Duoduo suddenly sigh deeply, Zhen Yu actually felt a bit guilty.

"It’s my fault! Actually, when we started tutoring at his house, I’d already noticed he was very afraid of his mother. It’s just that—"

"It’s just that we didn’t want to throw cold water on you back then! I noticed it too! But seeing how silly you looked, I just didn’t have the heart to tell you!"

Liu Ting suddenly took over the conversation, voicing the thoughts that had been buried in her heart for a long time!

The atmosphere suddenly became a bit awkward and silent.

——

It took about three to five minutes...

Before Qian Duoduo suddenly broke into a smile and said, "Alright! Let’s not talk about him anymore! Let’s talk about Zhen Yu!"

Zhen Yu very naturally replied, "What’s there to talk about me?"

"There is, there is!"

Livening up the mood was what Liu Ting did best!

She immediately jumped off the bed, went to the desk, and picked up the portrait she had found earlier and asked, "Zhen Yu! Did you draw this?"

Staring at the portrait of Han Mingyue, Zhen Yu was momentarily stunned!

Then she smiled and said, "Yes! Why? Do you and Duoduo also want me to draw for you?"

"The drawing definitely needs to happen! But when did you learn to draw? You’ve gotten so good already!"

Qian Duoduo said with a hint of astonishment.

She could now feel that in just over two short years apart, she and Zhen Yu had already grown so far apart! This made her feel quite bitter inside, and what rose even more was a strong sense of loss...
