Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 745 - 744: Speak Your Mind

The next morning, as soon as Zhen Yu descended the staircase, she saw Han Mingyue standing alone amidst the chilly morning dew.

"I’ll take it!" Even though Zhen Yu was only symbolically carrying a bag of food, Han Mingyue immediately reached out to take it over and then carefully observed Zhen Yu’s expression.

"I’m really fine!" After delivering this emotionless statement, Zhen Yu took the lead towards the school gate.

No way around it! She just wasn’t in a good mood right now, so she couldn’t even force the slightest hint of a smile!

However, after taking a couple of steps, she still dryly broached a subject, "You can just walk me to the school gate. I’ll take a cab to the airport myself!"

"No, I must take you to the airport!" Han Mingyue rejected the idea without hesitation, "It’s early in the morning and barely light out! There are so few people on the streets, it’s not safe for you to take a car alone!"

"..." Zhen Yu gave Han Mingyue a helpless sidelong glance and managed to hold back from saying anything confrontational.

Thus, the two of them walked in silence to the school gate, stood there waiting for quite a while before they were able to flag down a taxi.

After getting into the car, Han Mingyue finally tucked the bag he brought into Zhen Yu’s arms, coaxing, "There’s milk and bread inside. I got them from Liu Yu last night! Eat something quickly!"

In truth, Zhen Yu wasn’t in the mood to eat, but she knew she was someone who gets carsick on an empty stomach! So she obediently opened the bag, took out the bread and was just about to bite into it, but then suddenly put it down.

Han Mingyue, puzzled by her behavior, looked at her.

Zhen Yu pursed her lips and said, "There’s breakfast in the bag you’re holding too, from my roommate! You eat it!"

"...Okay."

---

Since Zhen Yan’s school was relatively close to the airport, by the time Zhen Yu and Han Mingyue arrived, he was already waiting there.

The trio exchanged few words upon meeting. Han Mingyue simply nodded at Zhen Yan and then took the taxi back the way he came.

Watching the taxi carrying Han Mingyue get farther and farther away, Zhen Yu asked her brother without averting her gaze, "Did you buy the tickets?"

"They’re purchased. Let’s go inside!"

"Okay."

The siblings had only walked a few steps side by side inside when Zhen Yan suddenly called out to Zhen Yu!

"Little sister..."

His voice was hesitant, causing Zhen Yu’s heart to instantly leap with anxiety, trapped between doubt and certainty.

So she sternly demanded, "Speak directly, if you have something to say!"

"Our mother..."

"Her?!" Zhen Yu frowned, puzzled, and turned her head to look at her brother.

Zhen Yan took a deep breath under his sister’s gaze before he finally made up his mind to explain, "Mom said after all, they’ve been through a marriage."

"Oh? And then?" As she asked the next question, Zhen Yu already had a premonition in her heart.

And sure enough, she heard her brother say the following.

"So, she... she wants to go back with us to bid him farewell." Zhen Yan said this without much confidence.

Because he was afraid that if his sister felt even a bit upset, she would confront him on the spot and then insist on going their separate ways...

Fortunately, Zhen Yu did not.

She pursed her lips, remained silent for a while, and finally let out a heavy sigh, "...Ah! Do as you please!"

Only then did Zhen Yan quietly breathe a sigh of relief and continued to gently persuade, "Mom is just sitting over there! Let’s go over."

Zhen Yu did not object, and upon hearing this, she simply nodded in agreement, "...Okay."

——

"Mum!"

As Zhen Yu still focused her gaze on the child’s face, Zhen Yan had already called out eagerly in a loud voice.

So Zhen Yu had no choice but to immediately follow her brother and also called out to the back of Mrs. Zhen, "...Mum."

She wasn’t very enthusiastic, so naturally, her volume wasn’t very loud.

As a result, Mrs. Zhen didn’t turn around when she heard her son’s voice, but as soon as she heard her daughter’s, she immediately turned halfway!

Zhen Yan could tell, the expression on their mother’s face was extremely complicated, and there was a rare trace of guilt in her eyes.

And the little boy nestled in Mrs. Zhen’s arms was still batting his big eyes, staring at Zhen Yu, a stranger to him.

"Ah! That, Xiao Yu! You’re here?!" Mrs. Zhen stood up in a fluster, still holding the child.

She didn’t know why! For some reason, as her daughter grew older, the intervals between their meetings grew longer! But every time she saw Zhen Yu again, she would feel from the bottom of her heart, a hint of trepidation towards her daughter...

Especially when seeing Zhen Yu expressionless and silent! Mrs. Zhen would feel an inexplicable tremendous pressure!

Fortunately, when she heard her mother mention her name, Zhen Yu finally shifted her gaze away from her half-brother and faintly responded with an "Mhm."

Zhen Yan looked around, this wouldn’t do! So he quickly called out again, "Let’s go! Let’s go through security first! We can talk later after we’re in!"

"Okay okay okay! Let’s do as you say..."

Mrs. Zhen quickly echoed, and Zhen Yu nodded in agreement.

Thus, Zhen Yan swiftly gathered all of Mrs. Zhen’s bags and took the lead towards the security checkpoint.

——

When the three adults and one child sat down again, they were already in the departure hall.

The four of them formed a horizontal row, with Zhen Yan particularly sitting between his mother and sister.

"Hmm-hem!" With a light cough, Zhen Yan, feeling the awkwardness, forced a conversation, "Mum! Little sister! Have you two eaten breakfast? If not, shall we find somewhere to eat first?"

"No need!" Mrs. Zhen refused instantly!

But Zhen Yu said, "I ate." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Zhen Yan: "..."

But he was so hungry... with things as they were, he couldn’t just go eat by himself...

As if hearing his silent plea, Zhen Yu suddenly said, "If you’re hungry, just go eat yourself! Don’t worry about us."

Zhen Yan turned his head immediately! His eyes full of questioning as he looked at his sister.

"Really, you don’t need me?"

"Really! Just go!" Zhen Yu replied with her eyes.

Then, Zhen Yan scurried off...

The silence that suddenly falls is the most dreadful! A few seconds later, as an elder, Mrs. Zhen finally broke the silence.

"Hmm-hem! Well, Xiao Yu..."

"Just say what you want to say!" Zhen Yu’s tone was faint, but it carried an indisputable force.

"Actually, you know... your dad’s departure was so sudden, and I just felt, ah..."

Affected by her mother’s sentimental tone, Zhen Yu fell silent for a while, before finally saying, "Life is full of uncertainties, right?"
