Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 871 - 870: Is It Worth It?

After hanging up Bai Xue’s call, Zhen Yu thought for a moment and decided to call Liu Ting first.

As expected, a stranger woman answered!

The person on the other end told Zhen Yu that Liu Ting was playing with her younger siblings and asked her to wait.

After waiting for more than a minute, Liu Ting finally picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"It’s me! Zhen Yu!"

"Oh! I haven’t found the time to call you! You must have been anxious waiting, haven’t you?"

Liu Ting’s tone was a bit apologetic, but Zhen Yu immediately denied it!

"No, go ahead and tell me about Teacher Cao’s situation first!"

"Teacher Cao and his family are all at home! His daughter is in Junior Year this year, also at First High School! She’s doing quite well and ranks a bit higher than me!"

Zhen Yu listened patiently to these two lines, then urged, "Speak of the main issue!"

"..." Liu Ting opened her mouth to speak but first sighed before saying, "Teacher Cao has lost a lot of weight! He seems more silent and reserved! Mrs. Cao doesn’t have a mobile phone, so you should note down Teacher Cao’s landline number,"

"Hold on!" Zhen Yu hurriedly interrupted and turned to Han Mingyue, who was no longer holding the tube, saying, "Write down the number!"

Han Mingyue pulled out her phone and opened the contact list, "Go ahead!"

Zhen Yu then repeated to Liu Ting, "Go ahead!"

"0452,"

Zhen Yu: "Okay! 0452! Continue!"

After noting down the number, Zhen Yu proposed to end the call. But Liu Ting suddenly asked, "Hasn’t Qian Duoduo called you? You should give her a call! She’s feeling a bit isolated now, I think you might be the friend who can console her."

Zhen Yu: "...Alright!"

Poor sick girl, even during the holidays, she still has to act as the peacekeeper...

——

Teacher Cao coming to the capital for treatment surely wouldn’t be happening during the holidays!

So, after wavering a bit, Zhen Yu decided to fulfill her promise first and call Qian Duoduo.

"Hello?"

"Hi! May I speak to Qian Duoduo?"

Zhen Yu’s tone was cold and distant, and after years of not being in touch, Mrs. Qian didn’t recognize her!

So she stretched her voice and shouted towards the sofa!

"Duoduo! It’s your call!"

Zhen Yu didn’t hear any response from the other side, but within a few seconds, Qian Duoduo’s voice suddenly came through the receiver!

"Hello?"

"Duoduo! It’s me, Zhen Yu!"

"Ah?!... It’s you!"

At first, Qian Duoduo seemed like she wanted to call out Zhen Yu’s name but hesitated and then gave up immediately!

Zhen Yu didn’t mind this detail and directly found an entry point to say: "It’s me! Liu Ting called me to extend New Year greetings, but I didn’t hear from you, so I had to call you to send New Year wishes!"

"Heh!" Qian Duoduo laughed after hearing this, "I should’ve called you first, knowing that!"

"No worries, it’s all the same! Whoever calls who, it’s still New Year greetings! How was your past semester?"

"Hmm... It’s alright."

If only that person didn’t keep appearing to bother her.

"Are you in an inconvenient place to talk on the phone?"

Zhen Yu’s emotional quotient suddenly surged! She could immediately tell Qian Duoduo was holding back!

"...Yes."

Looking at her mother who kept glancing at her, Qian Duoduo candidly admitted to Zhen Yu.

"I see..." Zhen Yu rolled her eyes, "How about you go watch the Spring Festival Gala first? Call me whenever you’re free in the next few days!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo immediately relaxed and laughed!

Even after not contacting for half a year, it’s still the same formula, still the same taste!

"Sure! It’s a deal!"

Zhen Yu: "Great! Then I’ll wait for your call! Goodbye!"

——

Even though Zhen Yu sounded very relaxed when calling Qian Duoduo, once she put down the phone, her face immediately fell.

"They’re in Senior High School already! Can’t that damn Lu Wei just focus on studying!? If he doesn’t study, Duoduo still has to!"

Zhen Yu was truly grateful for making this call!

Previously, they hadn’t been in touch for half a year because First High School was very strict about studies in the Senior High School, so Zhen Yu didn’t want to disturb them.

But from the phone call just now, Duoduo’s tone was so gloomy, like she was tired of the world...

There’s no need to think deeply, Zhen Yu could immediately tell who was to blame! Liu Ting calling him ’damn’ was indeed spot on!

After hearing her ’cursing’, Han Mingyue disagreed, saying, "Why do you get so angry about other people’s matters!?"

"She’s my friend!" Zhen Yu replied without hesitation!

"Friendship isn’t one-sided!" When Han Mingyue said this, his tone was more serious than ever!

"Don’t be so quick to bare your heart just because someone is nice to you! You should see if they’re worth it first!"

Zhen Yu reflected internally, running through her list of friends.

Then she immediately smiled and said, "Everyone’s worth it! If someone were not truly good to me, I wouldn’t consider them a friend!"

"Sigh..." Han Mingyue sighed helplessly.

The silly kid is beyond saving! He can only help her keep in check so she doesn’t make too many friends...

Otherwise, with too many friends, she might just tire herself out!

——

As a result, Zhen Yu thought Han Mingyue’s silence meant he agreed with her words!

So she immediately said, "I’m going to call Teacher Cao’s house!"

This time Han Mingyue had no position to object, so he took a deep breath and replied, "Go ahead! Put it on speaker."

Zhen Yu: "Oh, alright!"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yan, who was next to her, also moved closer to his sister’s bed to follow up on the situation.

"Hello, is this Cao Yong, Teacher Cao’s home?"

The girl on the other side did not hesitate for a second and immediately replied, "Yes! I’m his daughter! May I ask who you are?"

Zhen Yu: "I’m his student! Can I trouble you to have your mother talk, please?"

"Looking for my mom?" Cao Yong’s daughter froze upon hearing it!

"Yes! I heard about Teacher Cao’s situation. I’m in the capital! I want to find out from your mom when you’re coming for treatment."

"Ah? Alright! I’ll get my mom! Please, hold on!" The girl was slightly excited and ran off after putting down the phone.

Within a few seconds, another female voice came through the receiver.

"Hello? I’m Cao Yong’s wife. How should I address you, student?"

"I’m Zhen Yu! You can mention me to Teacher Cao,"

"No need! I know who you are!" Cao Yong’s wife suddenly interrupted Zhen Yu and said, "He often talks about you at home, says you are the most obedient and sensible among the students he has taught! Heh... He also said, your personality resembles his more than Jingjing! Jingjing gets annoyed every time she hears this..."
