Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 878 - 877: What Are You So Busy With?

"It can be done..." Bai Xue hesitated a bit, "But, you’re putting in the trademark, what should I contribute?"

"You can invest with your fees from being a print model and your endorsement fees! Of course, it would be great if you could also get your brother involved! If not, you can use Lu Huai! You two can just take couple outfit photos!"

Bai Xue blushed a little, "Uh-huh! Sure, I’ll discuss it with them..."

"I’m warning you, Bai Xue! You can discuss it with your brother, but don’t you dare mention the online store partnership to your mom!"

"...Okay, I understand."

"Good that you understand! As a friend, this is as much as I can help you."

Zhen Yu seized the chance to clearly lay it out: "I can’t meddle in your family’s matters as an outsider! Whether you guys are moving to the Capital, whether you enter the modeling industry, whether your mom opens an online store—all of this you need to handle yourself! But if you want information on house prices, I can help. And if you do enter the industry, I can give you some advice."

Bai Xue hesitated for several seconds, but ultimately decided to ask, thinking it couldn’t hurt, "What kind of advice?"

"After you argued with Lu Huai about whether to be a fashion model last time, I gave it some more thought."

Zhen Yu was being honest; she’d already thought of many possible paths for Bai Xue!

"You should know that opening a store online isn’t just for clothes! You can sell anything! So with your looks, such a beautiful face, you can definitely model for cosmetics! Whether it’s skincare or makeup, you can do it."

——

"Ah!" Bai Xue suddenly felt a sense of clarity! And then she exclaimed, "Xiao Yu! How did I not think about this? Your idea is just brilliant!"

"It’s not that great! Using too much makeup is bad for the skin! But cosmetics are somewhat better; you don’t have to apply them! You can just take photos. Actually, if you have nice-looking hands and feet, you can be a hand model or foot model too! You can model nail polish or something..."

"You have small and pretty feet; you could do it! But my size 39, 40 big feet? Forget about it..."

Zhen Yu heard this and smiled lightly, not taking Bai Xue’s compliment to heart.

But Bai Xue suddenly asked, "Tell me! You’re so tall and only wear a size 35! How do you do it?! And they’re slim, not high at all! They’re so easy to buy shoes for! I’m truly envious!"

Zhen Yu secretly rolled her eyes, "What’s there to be envious about with flat feet! Low arches mean low instep..."

"Haha! The way you put it! It’s not like they’re that flat..."

Bai Xue felt relieved, planning to chat a bit more with Zhen Yu on her phone, when she suddenly heard her brother calling.

"Sis! Sis! Mom’s calling you! Go to her quickly!"

Bai Yong’s voice was so loud not only Bai Xue heard it, but Zhen Yu overheard it on the phone too! So she directly said to Bai Xue, "We’ve said enough, let’s hang up! If there’s anything else, come find me in the Capital after school starts, and we can talk in person."

Hearing this, Bai Xue reluctantly agreed, "Mm! Okay, I’m hanging up!"

Zhen Yu: "Alright."

——

After finishing the call, a while later, Han Mingyue came back.

As soon as he entered the hospital room, he explained to Zhen Yu, "I heard someone say in the cafeteria downstairs that there’s a private cafeteria behind the hospital, specifically providing meals for doctors, nurses, and patients! So I went to check it out."

"What’s this?" Zhen Yu asked when she saw Han Mingyue put a takeaway on her bedside table.

Han Mingyue smiled, "I didn’t expect them to sell chicken soup! So I bought a serving. Drink it while it’s hot!"

"Oh! Chicken soup!" Zhen Yu moved over, waiting for Han Mingyue to help open the lid.

Sniffing the aroma, she looked up and asked, "Such a big serving! Will you have some too?"

"I’m not the patient, why would I drink soup!" Han Mingyue shot her a glance and then went on to eat his own meal.

The noise from Han Mingyue returning awakened Zhen Yan a little; as the aroma reached him, he let out a long yawn.

"Ah... a restaurant that’s open during New Year’s?"

"No, it’s a cafeteria." Han Mingyue replied and then asked, "Why don’t you get up, eat a bit, and then sleep?"

"Mm! Alright..." Zhen Yan agreed, stretching lazily and yawning again as he finally sat up.

"I’ll go wash my face,"

"Men Cry, Cry, Cry Is Not a Sin..."

Just as Hua Zai’s song started playing in the hospital room, Zhen Yu immediately looked at her brother! "When did you change the ringtone to this?"

Han Mingyue also looked at Zhen Yan with a peculiar expression, obviously holding back laughter.

But Zhen Yan ignored his sister and, after glancing at his phone, quickly got up and went to the corridor.

——

"I just got up! What do you need?" Zhen Yan grumbled while moving further away after closing the door.

"..." Mrs. Zhen hadn’t even said anything yet and was already interrupted by her son, so naturally she was upset!

So she skipped the pleasantries and said directly with a huff, "What could I want!? I just wanted to ask you about the internet cafe,"

At these words, Zhen Yan immediately got furious!

"Didn’t I text you last night?! Now I can’t, I can’t get away! I’m busy!"

Mrs. Zhen didn’t believe him, and his gruff tone only angered her more!

So she started ranting like a machine gun!

"Busy, busy, busy on New Year’s Day! Today is the first day of New Year’s! You didn’t even greet your mom with Happy New Year, all you can say is you’re busy! Busy doing what!? You’re not working! You’re not in school! I just want to ask you! What are you busy doing?! Huh?!!!"

Zhen Yan took a deep breath but still felt his mother was giving him a headache!

Realizing he was probably cranky due to staying up late last night and not having enough sleep, he adjusted his tone and said, "Mom! I’m not lying, I’m really busy! Xiao Yu is still in the hospital! She only has me as a brother, so when I say I’m busy..."

"What the heck?!" Mrs. Zhen interrupted her son, feeling like she couldn’t quite grasp the situation.

She quickly asked, "Did you guys go to the hospital before New Year and not leave? Or did you go after New Year?! What’s going on with her? What illness does she have? Always in the hospital? Is it just a cold or fever? Has it turned into pneumonia? Or did she eat something bad and got a stomach bug..."
