Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 789 - 788: Let Yourself Go

Although Han Mingyue almost instantly realized he had been played, there’s a saying that fits perfectly! Beauty is justice!

Moreover, the ancients said—beauty lies in the lover’s eyes...

So not only did he not get angry, but he also stared blankly for a few seconds.

Only when he finally snapped back to reality did Han Mingyue suddenly remember what he had wanted to say to Zhen Yu when he first looked up.

So he immediately bent down and leaned in close to Zhen Yu, whispering softly, "When we’re outside, don’t talk nonsense!"

The delighted Zhen Yu immediately nodded! "Oh, okay! I got it!"

After sitting up straight again, Han Mingyue, not wanting to be led by the nose by Zhen Yu again or to continue along with what Zhen Yu had been saying, swiftly changed the topic.

"Xiao Yu, I’ve reached a preliminary agreement with Mr. Wang this afternoon! Concerning the collaboration, I’ve decided to hand over my recently completed novel to Huayi Publishing House for publication."

Once they got down to business, Zhen Yu’s expression instantly returned to normal!

"The Simplified Chinese version? Or are you also entrusting them with the Traditional Chinese version?"

Han Mingyue: "Both versions will be published simultaneously! Moreover, if the sales of the Traditional Chinese version meet my expectations, I will sign over the rights of my previous books’ Traditional Chinese versions to this publishing house!"

Zhen Yu: "Did the contract stipulate the details? Have you signed it already?"

"Mhm!" Han Mingyue nodded. "Everything is agreed upon! And if it weren’t for the contract signing, I wouldn’t have arrived so late today! You, sigh! Fortunately, nothing happened!"

"Of course, nothing happened!" Zhen Yu teased Han Mingyue for being too timid, "In broad daylight, he wouldn’t dare abduct a damsel, would he?"

Han Mingyue: "..."

Why did he suddenly feel like Xiao Yu was becoming more and more unrestrained...

---

Zhen Yu felt that sometimes being too close to a roommate could actually be a pitfall.

Look at this! Just because the Level Four exam was over in the middle of this month, the three idle roommates really wanted to keep their previous suggestion! They insisted on dragging her out to go shopping for clothes on Tuesday afternoon.

Alright, even though it was her own agreement, they didn’t have to get so excited right after lunch, gleaming-eyed and dragging her straight to the clothing stores around the school...

Han Mingyue was also surprised.

Because after lunch, when he returned to the dorm, he texted Zhen Yu as usual to ask if she was going to the self-study room or library in the afternoon.

To his surprise, she replied, "Nowhere!"

Clearly, something more important than studying was holding her up. Curious, Han Mingyue texted her again, asking what she was busy with.

Zhen Yu’s text came back quickly—she was out shopping for clothes with her roommates.

Han Mingyue was momentarily stunned, because for as long as they had been together, Zhen Yu almost never dragged him out shopping.

Of course, this was also because in high school, they would usually just go directly to Bai Xue’s clothing store to pick out whatever they wanted...

But since starting college, Zhen Yu never shopped without a reason, let alone specifically going out to buy clothes!

The thing is, she definitely didn’t lack any clothes to wear...

So after finding out the store location, Han Mingyue went straight there.

When she arrived at the store and pushed the door to enter, she happened to see Zhen Yu standing in front of the dressing room mirror, admiring her reflection.

Han Mingyue was suddenly frozen by the doorway.

She had never seen Xiao Yu dressed so elegantly and shapely, with every curve in full display.

——

The ponytail that was never let down even in sleep, once released, let her naturally curly strands curve around her shoulders, resting near her beautiful collarbones. Wearing a black bodycon dress with a large round neckline that not only showcased her slender swan-like neck but also a small piece of fair skin. The dress, made of knit fabric, clung tightly to her skin, outlining every curve of her body with exquisite visibility, her waist so slim it seemed it couldn’t be grasped fully, irresistibly charming. Since it was deep winter and the heating was sufficient inside, Zhen Yu, having come out to shop without preparation, did not have tights to match, so the long, straight legs underneath the dress were bare and exposed in the air, complemented by the ankle-height black suede boots, making her skin appear as delicately smooth as fine pearls, extremely eye-catching!

The whole person looked brilliant as if blooming peaches and plums, yet the black simultaneously gave her an air as cold as frost and snow! The contrasting effect entranced everyone in the little store.

One after another, the audible gasps were heard. After a moment of being stupefied, her roommates turned their attention to Han Mingyue standing by the door, and You Qing immediately bragged with pride, "Beautiful, isn’t she? We forced Xiao Yu to try it on; she’ll certainly outshine everyone at the event!"

She could definitely dazzle the crowd, that much was certain! But the question was, where was she going dressed so beautifully...

Just as Han Mingyue was about to step forward and usher her back into the dressing room, she saw Zhen Yu in front of the mirror turning around, frowning and complaining, "You Qing, even if you insist on picking a dress, couldn’t you have chosen something a bit more conservative for me?"

You Qing: "..."

Shi Mei: "..."

Sun Shuhan: "Conservative and dazzling are simply antonyms."

The female boss of the small store silently swallowed, marveling at how strange girls nowadays are! Those with less-than-perfect figures are clamoring to wear such dresses, and yet when they finally find someone with a great figure, she complains! Sigh... A moment of silence for the poor neglected dress!

——

After a stalemate, the three roommates ignored Zhen Yu’s opinion, turned around, and continued selecting clothes. Han Mingyue, however, hurried to Zhen Yu and pushed her back into the dressing room.

And standing outside the dressing room door, he asked Zhen Yu, "Why did you suddenly run out to buy clothes?"

Zhen Yu: "...Because I need to make a stunning impression at Thursday’s lecture..."

Han Mingyue was dumbfounded; so after all this fuss, it was still because of him!

However, when he came back to his senses, he nevertheless advised, "Then you, there’s no need to dress so, well, cough!"

"Hmm?" Zhen Yu was curious. Although the shopping trip wasn’t her idea, and she hadn’t planned on making it such a formal affair, Han Mingyue’s opinion still mattered to her. So she inquired further, "No need to dress how?!"

Han Mingyue, separated by just a curtain, blushed and his Adam’s apple bobbed before he finally said, "...Sensual."

Zhen Yu paused in silence upon hearing these two words. Not until the rustling sounds of changing clothes had completely vanished, did she ask in a low voice, "So, do you dislike me wearing this kind of dress? Or is it that... you dislike me wearing this kind of dress in public?"

Han Mingyue was at a loss.

This question... what did she expect him to answer...

He even wondered if Zhen Yu was doing the same thing as last night! Knowing perfectly well what was on his mind, yet she still deliberately asked him such questions!

After all, when he entered the door just now, they had already looked at each other in the mirror...

And whatever was in his eyes at that moment, she must have clearly seen it all.
