Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 738 - 737: Taken a Fancy to Him?

Everyone’s in university now, who still carries their high school calligraphy copies with them! So, in the end, it was Zhen Yu who pointed out a clear direction for You Qing and a bunch of friends who suddenly caught a three-minute passion for practicing with fountain pens.

"My calligraphy copybooks are on sale at Xinhua Bookstore; if you want to practice, go and buy one yourself!"

As a person from the Capital, Tian Mingyuan was the first to be surprised!

"What? Aren’t those copybooks not allowed to be sold outside of the province?"

"Xiao Yu has a collaboration with a publishing house here in the Capital," Han Mingyue explained briefly, and everyone understood.

Turns out she had published more than just that one set of educational calligraphy posters! This ignorance of books other than educational materials was due to them being foolish from studying too much and having just started university not long ago!

So, taking advantage of the seven-day National Day celebrations, it’s indeed time to take a good look around Xinhua Bookstore!

"Xiao Yu, I thought you specialized in brush calligraphy!" Among the crowd, only Shuhan didn’t inquire about the fountain pen copybooks.

Because only she and Zhen Yu, just like in their dorm, persevered in practicing brush calligraphy every day.

Zhen Yu told the truth, "Quite the opposite! I started learning brush calligraphy because I was decent with fountain pens."

"...I heard there’s going to be a calligraphy competition at the end of the year, will you participate?"

"Oh? Insider information?" Zhen Yu was somewhat surprised by Shuhan’s connections.

After all, it was only the National Day holiday, and she had already known about things happening at the end of the year.

"Yeah!" Since it was already mentioned, Shuhan didn’t intend to keep it from Zhen Yu any longer, so she gave a brief summary of the details, "It’s a national event, but it’s only aimed at young people!"

"Remind me when there’s a call for submissions!"

"Alright!"

——

"Alright, alright! Don’t you two get into an endless chat about brush calligraphy! The guys are about to go on stage to perform! Come on! As an immediate cheerleading team, let’s quickly give them our support and cheer them on!"

You Qing knew how to enliven the atmosphere when there were many people, so she quickly steered the conversation back on track!

Of course, Zhen Yu and the other two wouldn’t let her down, so they immediately started encouraging the guys with their comments.

The commercial flattery lasted for over half a minute, and Han Mingyue was the first who couldn’t take it anymore! So he stood up and said, "Let’s go!"

"Then we’ll head over first! Make sure to watch attentively! Don’t you dare close your eyes!" Liu Yu also stood up after him.

"Haha..." Amidst a wave of low laughter, the guys left one after the other.

Shi Mei, watching their departing figures, suddenly exclaimed!

"Don’t look at Liu Yu, this fellow doesn’t have a very handsome face, but he’s quite humorous!"

You Qing almost immediately retorted with a question, "What? You fancy him?"

As soon as these words came out, both Zhen Yu and Shuhan’s gazes ’swished’ and focused on Shi Mei’s face, startling her so much that she quickly explained, "Oh come on! I just genuinely think having a friend like him around is fun! I really don’t have any other thoughts!"

You Qing curled her lip: "A guilty conscience needs no accuser!"

Shuhan rolled her eyes: "Hiding your head and showing your tail!"

Zhen Yu expressionless: "Explaining is equal to covering up!"

Shi Mei was choked by their words, unable to swallow or spit it out! It wasn’t until a good while later that she weakly said: "...I finally understand what it means to bring disaster upon oneself through one’s words..."

——

In the end, it was Zhen Yu who couldn’t bear to see Shi Mei embarrass herself, so she casually brought up another topic to turn the conversation away.

However, what each of the three roommates truly thought, Zhen Yu had no clue! Anyway, even she wasn’t entirely trustworthy...

"Tomorrow is the last day for club registration, have you all decided which one you want to join?"

"Ah! Don’t even mention it! My head’s spinning with all the choices! I seriously don’t know which one to pick!" You Qing’s interests were the most varied! So during the past few days, faced with the spectacle of the Club Recruitment Drive, she truly felt like she was in over her head!

After hesitating a bit, Sun Shuhan directly asked, "Xiao Yu, are you going to join the same club as Han Mingyue?"

"No!" Zhen Yu’s straightforward answer surprised the roommates, but what was even more unexpected was what she said next!

"He wants to join ’Our Literary Society,’ while I’m thinking about joining the Martial Arts Association."

"What? Martial Arts Association? Am I hearing this right?" Shi Mei was the first to exclaim: "What are you thinking, Zhen Yu? You write so beautifully, if you were to join any club it should be the Calligraphy and Painting Association, shouldn’t it? What went wrong for you to give up literature for martial arts?!"

"Yeah..." Sun Shuhan also murmured in agreement, "I thought you would... Xiao Yu! Join the Calligraphy and Painting Association with me!"

"Hey hey hey! Are you two dumb? Who said you can only join one club?!" You Qing really couldn’t stand watching any longer, so she had to step in to remind them.

"Ah? Oh, right!" It was then that Sun Shuhan belatedly realized.

——

In fact, there was no need for Sun Shuhan to persuade her, Zhen Yu had always planned to join the Calligraphy and Painting Association.

However, since the Martial Arts Association was her top pick, that’s why Zhen Yu mentioned it first.

Unfortunately, just when the three girls were becoming increasingly interested in Zhen Yu’s versatility in both literature and martial arts, the presenter suddenly announced the program name of Han Mingyue’s dorm room.

Shi Mei and the others had to pause their conversation and focus their attention on the stage.

Although the performance was backed by a guitar, to be honest—besides Han Mingyue, the other three guys had really mediocre voices! And since Han Mingyue hardly ever sang openly, he really didn’t have a clue about any singing techniques! Therefore, their singing only managed to be passable without any major issues.

It definitely couldn’t be called nice, but it wasn’t terribly bad either...

So, after watching the four guys bow and leave the stage, female students in front of Zhen Yu and the others began to critique the performance.

"Out of those four guys, there are actually two who are quite handsome! It’s just that their singing was so-so. Sigh! All their impression points are gone!"

"Ha ha! It can’t be that bad! I thought the voice of one of them was not bad, it’s just that his part was too small!"

"Which one, which one? I stopped listening after hearing a couple of unpleasant lines!"

"That tall one! Too bad I’m nearsighted, so I don’t know if he was the handsomest!"

"Ah? Really him? Although it’s a bit far, I feel like he should be the most handsome out of the four!"

"What’s the matter? You have a crush on him?"

"He he..."

The two girls in the front row were talking loudly, so You Qing and the others heard everything! Therefore, the three of them simultaneously, and with odd expressions, turned to look at Zhen Yu!

The tallest guy... wasn’t that Han Mingyue...
