Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 816 - 815: Calling to Account

After a chaotic weekend, Zhen Yu returned to the dormitory and the first thing she did was wash up early and climb into bed.

The three roommates were still busy with their own things, and it was still early for lights out.

Feeling bored, she thought of calling Bai Xue to see how the talk with Lu Huai was going.

But as soon as the call connected, she was met with Bai Xue’s sobs.

Zhen Yu was so frightened that she immediately sat up from her blanket!

"What happened to you? Why are you crying? Where are you now?"

Bai Xue choked on her sobs for a couple more times before saying, "...In my own dormitory!"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yu’s heart was finally able to settle down.

She began to console Bai Xue, "Tell me what’s going on. Don’t cry; crying won’t solve the problem!"

"Okay." Bai Xue replied obediently, but her voice still carried a trace of a sob.

After taking a deep breath, she confessed why she was so upset that she cried...

"Lu Huai disagrees with me being a model! He says it’s unbecoming to be so public! He says if I need money, he’ll earn it!"

"Ha!" Zhen Yu was almost amused by her irritation!

Unhappy with it, her tone naturally carried her displeasure.

"Did he say that? Then why didn’t he say anything when you were taking Hanfu photos for me?!"

"I asked him that too! But he said that was to help a friend, and it’s different from going out to take photos for others! Anyway,"

"All right, you don’t need to say anymore!" Zhen Yu interrupted Bai Xue rudely, "Calm down first! Let me call and ask him!"

Bai Xue: "Okay."

——

Lu Huai, feeling frustrated, was sitting in his dormitory pulling at his hair while texting when Zhen Yu’s call suddenly came in.

However, he stared at the constantly ringing phone in his hand for several seconds and yet did not immediately answer it.

This was truly because, after the argument he had with Bai Xue on the phone today, he had been continuously trying to call her, but each time the call was rejected! She also wouldn’t reply to messages! Going to school to find her, she wouldn’t come out to see him!

The fact was already very obvious, this time Bai Xue was really angry with him.

But Zhen Yu’s call came at just this unfortunate moment—Lu Huai could guess with his heels! Zhen Yu must be calling to ’call him to account’.

And no need to ask! He could guess it, she must have already talked to Bai Xue on the phone first!

Ever since she went to college, apart from talking about matters related to Bai Xue, Zhen Yu has never actively called him!

After five or six rings without anyone answering, the phone automatically disconnected.

Lu Huai was about to breathe a sigh of relief and continue texting Bai Xue when a notification sound suddenly rang out.

Thinking Bai Xue was finally responding to his messages, he quickly looked down!

But it wasn’t.

"Call me back quickly! Or bear the consequences!"

Aside from Zhen Yu, no one else talked to him in such a domineering tone.

So after frowning and sighing, he finally made up his mind to call her back.

Because that ’consequence’, he most likely couldn’t afford...

"Zhen Yu," 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Shut up first! Listen to my questions first!"

Lu Huai was so pissed that his lungs hurt! Yet he still took a deep breath and said, "...Alright! Go ahead and ask!"

Zhen Yu organized her thoughts in her mind and grabbed a key point first!

"Did Bai Xue say why she wants to debut? How did she tell you?!"

——

Once this was brought up, Lu Huai couldn’t help but feel even more agitated!

"What else could she say?! She said her brother wants to buy a Capital residency to attend school! Her mom also wants to buy a house in the Capital to move here! But the family doesn’t have enough money, so she thought, argh! It pisses me off!"

Zhen Yu’s eye corners were twitching wildly! At this moment, she truly felt that if she were in Lu Huai’s position, she wouldn’t support Bai Xue either!

Bai Xue, who can say such blatant truths, is simply the biggest fool in the history of relationships! Purely an idiot!

Even though these are facts, couldn’t Bai Xue beautify it a bit before saying it? Blurted everything out unscrupulously, without even picking the right time to be frank! This truly is, argh! Stupid is just one word, Zhen Yu only wants to say it once!

"So are you disagreeing with her debut because of these? What’s with the public exposure part?"

Zhen Yu continued to pursue the question.

"Yes and no, I guess!"

Lu Huai felt quite conflicted at this moment, but there was one thing he was very firm about!

Which was—he had to oppose this matter.

"I said those four words about public exposure! But wasn’t I just venting at that time?! If she hadn’t brought up that you told her it’s dangerous to do this work, one might easily be tricked into taking inappropriate photos, or that, in short, with something so dangerous, I absolutely wouldn’t agree to let her do it!"

Zhen Yu: "..."

It turns out among this pile of spears and shields, there’s a cauldron belonging to her too!

——

Already disillusioned with Bai Xue’s rhetoric, Zhen Yu could only helplessly ask again, "Then did she mention finding an agent?"

"She did! But agents are paid hires from outside, who knows what their character is like? Are they trustworthy? She said teachers at school can introduce them, classmates can too, but I don’t believe any of them! In any case, I firmly oppose this matter!"

Lu Huai paused here in his words, then added, "I know her family really needs money, I—I’ll think of something!"

"Ha!" Zhen Yu accidentally let out a laugh, "What solution do you have? Like last time with the house purchase, asking your family for it?"

"Don’t underestimate people, alright!" Lu Huai instantly got worked up!

Just like when he and Zhen Yu used to sit together in middle school, he immediately jumped up and retorted high, "I tell you, Zhen Yu! Don’t assume just because my dad is a principal, I rely on my family for everything daily! Didn’t I get into First High School on my own? And also got into North Polytechnic by myself! Recently, a few of us in the department have been studying Flash animations, if we can,"

"What did you say? Flash animations?"

The aforementioned useless rant from Lu Huai, Zhen Yu let it pass from one ear in and out the other! But she immediately focused on this critical piece of information later!

"Yes! It’s like little cartoons! Each has different creative ideas, there’s a leaderboard on the Flash Empire website, if you can climb up and stay for two weeks, become a ’famous Flash artist’, then I should be able to take private jobs and make money!"

"You guys are only freshmen, already that skilled?" Zhen Yu couldn’t help but doubt if her ears were failing her.

From her outsider perspective, when did the IT industry become so easy to navigate...
