Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 812 - 811: What Are You Afraid Of
"What did you say to Kang Jian?" As soon as Han Mingyue hung up the phone, Zhen Yu asked immediately.
Han Mingyue’s tone was ambiguous, "You want to know?"
Zhen Yu’s eyes turned, she looked at him and thought for a moment, suddenly a bit unsure of how to answer.
After all, whether in the last lifetime or this one, he never spoke to her in such a strange manner.
Seeing Zhen Yu not responding, Han Mingyue took a long stride! With a few steps, he walked up to Zhen Yu, placed his hands in his pockets, and looked down at her.
Zhen Yu raised her head to meet his gaze, but her tone suddenly changed!
"What did he say to you? It seems he made you angry."
"What do you think he said to me?"
Zhen Yu shrugged, "I don’t know him! How would I know?"
"...Then do you know me?"
Upon hearing this question, Zhen Yu suddenly fell silent again.
Because just before the previous conversation, she always thought she understood him.
But now, she suddenly wasn’t so sure anymore...
Han Mingyue wore a cream-colored sweater with a collar, without any patterns, looking clean and neat, his posture upright.
But at this moment, he gradually bent down, his head hanging lower and lower, getting closer to Zhen Yu.
The incoming breath was like the summer afternoon’s heat wave, making Zhen Yu’s cheeks flush with heat.
The room suddenly went quiet, with only the ticking of the clock echoing, seemingly hammering at Zhen Yu’s heart.
Seeing the girl so close with a flushed face and fluttering lashes, Han Mingyue finally smiled lightly.
"Seems like you do understand."
"?" Zhen Yu showed a confused expression.
At this moment, Han Mingyue was concentrating solely on her lips, his gaze lingering there.
Her lips were so close, as tender as crystal love jelly, enticing Han Mingyue to lean in for a taste!
——
Just as Han Mingyue was about to close the last bit of distance between them, Mrs. Han suddenly opened the bedroom door and stepped out.
"Uh! I’m just going to the bathroom!"
Feeling extremely embarrassed, Mrs. Han quickly dashed to the restroom after saying this!
Han Mingyue’s actions abruptly paused in mid-air. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Yet unexpectedly, what happened next took him by surprise...
Zhen Yu was so startled that she jerked forward, trying to stand up from the sofa!
"Ugh!" Han Mingyue covered his sore nose and groaned, feeling his tears almost fall.
Being blocked momentarily, Zhen Yu bounced back onto the sofa, also in a tearful state...
"Ouch..."
"Sniff!" Han Mingyue first sniffed his nose, feeling as if there was no bleeding.
Quickly, he lowered his right hand, grabbed Zhen Yu’s arm, and said sternly, "Come with me!"
Thus, Zhen Yu barely managed to let out a half "Hey," before Han Mingyue dragged her into the bedroom...
With the door closed, Han Mingyue immediately pressed her against the wall! With a dark face, he questioned, "What are you afraid of?!"
Tears still brimmed in Zhen Yu’s eyes, "...I was wrong, isn’t that enough?"
Han Mingyue: "!"
Looking at her pitiful appearance, he suddenly felt as if he was in the wrong!
But why did he still want to bully her more...
——
"Xiao Yu." Han Mingyue’s voice suddenly became low and husky.
Zhen Yu did not respond, but she could feel him slowly approaching her, the atmosphere in the room turning indescribably intimate.
Was he... wanting to kiss her again?
Finally, Zhen Yu remembered she was getting a cold, so she hurriedly opened her mouth wanting to remind him!
But Han Mingyue had already leaned down, and for a moment, they were intertwined, unable to break away...
A vague thought crossed Zhen Yu’s mind just before she fell into chaos.
That is—forget it! Let him be!
In a daze, Zhen Yu seemed to hear her phone ringing in the living room, so she nudged Han Mingyue.
Yet Han Mingyue acted as though he hadn’t heard or felt anything, continuing as he was.
Thus, after ringing and stopping several times outside, her phone still didn’t get answered, and had no choice but to give up... until after a while, it suddenly started ringing again!
This time, the bedroom door finally opened inward, and Han Mingyue walked out with a sullen face.
First thing, he grabbed the phone on the sofa and took a glance!
And then realized it was an unfamiliar number calling.
"Here! Xiao Yu, I’m going to the bathroom."
Speaking with a slightly hoarse voice, Han Mingyue’s Adam’s apple rolled and his tone clearly carried a bit of breathlessness.
Following him out, Zhen Yu was also blushing, her eyes sparkling like spring water.
She softly answered "Mm," and when she reached out to take the phone from Han Mingyue, she couldn’t help feeling like burying her head into the ground...
——
Letting the phone ring once more in her hand, Zhen Yu finally adjusted her breathing and answered it.
"Hello, good afternoon!"
As soon as she spoke, a young girl’s voice came from the other end.
"Hello! Is this Zhen Yu’s phone?"
"Yes! May I ask who’s calling?"
"Oh my gosh! This phone is so hard to reach! I’m a staff member from the National Youth Calligraphy and Fine Arts Competition Committee."
Embarrassed by the complaint, Zhen Yu quickly greeted, "Oh! Hello, hello!"
"Here’s the thing! Both your calligraphy and traditional painting works have been shortlisted for the regional competition in the capital area! So now, on behalf of the committee, I’m notifying you! Please make sure to arrive at the Capital Youth Palace at 8 AM on December 5th, which is next Saturday! Since the upcoming competition requires contestants to create on-site for selection, the costs for this part are to be covered by the contestants themselves, hope you understand! Is there anything unclear that you would like to ask now?"
Zhen Yu immediately replied, "No! Thank you!"
"Alright then, good luck in your competition, goodbye!"
Zhen Yu: "Goodbye."
After hearing the busy tone from the phone, Zhen Yu turned it off and placed it on the sofa.
She then plopped down on the sofa! And let out a long sigh. So she did make the shortlist...
Though her previous calmness wasn’t feigned, Zhen Yu still had a tiny bit of worry deep down in her subconscious...
