Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 777 - 776: A Room

"Mom! My brother’s call isn’t over yet!"

Finally, Han Jiaoyang, overwhelmed by the nagging, was forced to play the ’big brother’ card to get some peace for his ears.

"Ah... Right! Ming Yue, you should go to bed early! Your brother and I are taking an early flight tomorrow; we’ll have lunch together when we arrive!"

After a pause, Mrs. Han didn’t forget to add, "Remember to invite Xiao Yu!"

"I got it, Mom! Then you and my brother,"

"We’re at the hotel now! We’ll tidy up and head to bed soon too! After all, we have to get up early tomorrow! Gonna hang up now!"

"Okay! See you tomorrow."

After putting the phone on the coffee table, Han Mingyue rubbed his face and instantly brightened up again.

It wasn’t just because his mother and brother were coming, but also because that interruption just now! It sobered him up significantly, stopping him from overthinking in circles.

Even if there’s a threefold difference between two million and six million, Han Mingyue could still confidently say that he just needs to write a few more books to reach that amount in his savings!

But money has never been the reason why he wanted to live with Zhen Yu!

Not even the slightest bit!

He wants to be with her because of their mutual appreciation, because they were both attracted to each other’s character!

Although Han Mingyue doesn’t know precisely which of his traits Zhen Yu likes, he knows what he likes about her the most – her indifferent attitude toward worldly matters and the philosophy of not dwelling on gains and losses.

——

Han Mingyue and Zhen Yu have known each other since they were kids, and after being together for so long, he understands perfectly well what money means to her!

For her, money is simply a means to live!

Since childhood, he has never seen her get too emotional over money.

Like the first time they seriously discussed money, when she and Mrs. Zhen opened Shoe City.

Back then, Han Mingyue had asked Zhen Yu, "Your family has never been in this line of business, what if you lose money?!"

Zhen Yu answered him calmly and confidently, with no change in her expression.

"Where’s the certainty in anything? Don’t we have to try to know?"

"Opening a business means you can make or lose money – it’s normal! If it’s tough, my brother Zhen Yan and I just have to work part-time during the holidays to relieve the family’s financial burden. Three able-bodied people wouldn’t starve to death, right? Sometimes you have to push yourself before you understand how capable you are..."

That moment made Han Mingyue profoundly appreciate Zhen Yu’s open-minded attitude to life’s ups and downs!

It was then that he truly realized that Zhen Yu had been like this since she was very young.

When she had pocket money, she wouldn’t deprive herself but wouldn’t buy everything either, keeping her life as it always was.

But if there was something she particularly liked or really needed! Even when it came to using money to help friends, she would never agonize over it, never too entangled about - what will I do once the money is all spent!

She just wouldn’t spend when it’s unnecessary and would spend without reluctance when it’s the right time, with no attachments and nothing she couldn’t let go of.

And when she had no pocket money, she knew how to manage herself.

Even when Zhen Yan wanted to share his spare money with her, she would refuse, insisting ’what’s yours is yours’...

——

It’s just a pity that Zhen Yu’s principles and sense of boundaries aren’t something that everyone can accept joyfully right away!

She was once deeply hurt by Zhen Yan when she refused his offer of money!

Han Mingyue still remembered that when he was a child, he had overheard Zhen Yan telling Han Jiayang in secret that his sister treated him like a stranger! She always wanted to split everything clearly with him... If Zhen Yu treated her own brother this way, then it went without saying how she treated others!

Han Mingyue had been dating Zhen Yu for so long, and she had never taken any financial advantage of him.

Or rather, not just financially...

It seemed like in anything! Zhen Yu was never willing to take advantage of anyone, whether actively or passively!

That ’anyone’ also included him...

As his thoughts shifted to this, Han Mingyue suddenly stood up from the sofa! And then his gaze swept back and forth several times between the two bedroom doors side by side!

In the end, after taking a deep breath, he quickly returned to his own room.

However, he did not turn off the lights in the living room...

——

Less than half a minute later, Han Mingyue suddenly came out holding a quilt from his room.

And then...

He placed the quilt on the sofa, turned off the lights in the living room, picked up the quilt, and went straight into Zhen Yu’s bedroom.

Since she was unwilling to take advantage of him, he would have to take the initiative...

Zhen Yu, who was in a drowsy sleep, suddenly felt a living person next to her! Startled, she opened her eyes in the darkness and gasped sharply!

Then she heard a very low voice next to her ear, "Did I scare you? Sorry!"

Zhen Yu’s heart, which had just been lifted, slowly settled back down, but she was still somewhat speechless.

"...Why did you come here..."

Han Mingyue then stretched out his hand to embrace her and softly explained: "I’ve said that I wanted to sleep in the same room with you."

In the darkness, a blush slowly crept up Zhen Yu’s face.

She muttered quietly after a while: "...I don’t think I agreed..."

Han Mingyue’s gaze flickered upon hearing this.

After hesitating for a bit, he still took advantage of the darkness to muster his courage! He leaned his mouth all the way to Zhen Yu’s ear, whispering gently, "Then I’ll ask you again..."

Han Mingyue’s breath was all sprayed on Zhen Yu’s face, "...I want to sleep in the same room with you from now on, is that okay?"

But Zhen Yu couldn’t care less about what Han Mingyue had just said at this moment!

All she knew was that the small of her back suddenly felt both numb and itchy! Then immediately after, all the warm breath blown into her ear ’whooshed’ into her brain! Her reason took off like a hot air balloon in an instant!

And because Han Mingyue didn’t hear her response, he continued to tease her in her ear, "Hmm? Xiao Yu? Say something!"

"...Say, say what?!" Zhen Yu unconsciously shrank her head into the quilt, wanting to get further away from Han Mingyue.

"Say... haha! What’s wrong? Why are you hiding in the quilt?"

Zhen Yu: "..."

Isn’t it because you suddenly came over in the middle of the night!

With you doing this, Han Mingyue, how can anyone sleep!?
