Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 16 - Playmate Bai Xue

Mrs. Zhen's figure had just disappeared when Zhen Yu directly exited the courtyard.

Zhen Yan hurriedly locked the door and chased after her, feeling that this was still the way to the Han Family's place...

He couldn't help but ask, "Little sister, where are you going?"

"To the Han Family's place."

"Didn't you just tell me last night that you weren't going there anymore?" Zhen Yan was speechless, his sister was being inconsistent.

"Just to let him know, so he won't wait for me."

Zhen Yan continued to follow with a twisted face, internally voicing his severe complaints.

"Wait for you? Seriously? Where do you get that confidence from!?"

"Why is your face so thick?"

When they arrived at the clinic's entrance, Zhen Yu suddenly stopped and looked sideways, "Don't follow me."

"..."

Really wanted to hit her...

"I'm looking for Han Jiayang!" Zhen Yan said obstinately.

"Oh."

Zhen Yu saw Han Mingyue as soon as she entered the lobby; he was holding a book and sitting in a corner.

She frowned imperceptibly and headed straight towards him.

As soon as Han Mingyue heard the door, he looked up, his gaze slowly retracted from her figure, and eventually settled on her feet.

A pair of black flat flip-flops, her chubby toes resting on them, looking soft and cute... Her feet were so small...

Her voice came from above, "Didn't you say it's busy outside, why are you reading here?"

Han Mingyue didn't make a sound, her voice was very cold, but the words she spoke betrayed a hint of concern, which felt a bit strange.

The young man cocked up the corner of his mouth and then quickly put away the expression.

He slowly stood up and greeted her, "Come into the room."

"No need." Zhen Yu stood still without moving, "There's something at home these days, I'll come over next week."

Han Mingyue's brows furrowed slightly, feeling a bit annoyed.

Was this to inform him? She said she wouldn't come yesterday, and today she's...

Before Han Mingyue could think further, Zhen Yu added, "Help me pack up my Chinese, Math, and English textbooks; I'll come to get them tonight."

"Hmph!" Han Mingyue chuckled in annoyance.

She breaks appointments without notice, takes leave as she pleases, and now she's ordering me around! Who gave her the authority?!

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

Zhen Yu, as if oblivious to his reaction, seemed to turn around to leave.

Han Mingyue stood behind her, his hands clenched into fists. Just as he couldn't help but want to reach out and pull her back, she stopped in her tracks and said two sentences.

"My family is opening a shoe store, things are a bit busy recently! I went to Qi City to stock up yesterday."

Having said this, she really left the clinic without stopping.

Han Mingyue sat back down in the chair, thoughts whirling.

Why did she explain herself while facing away from him?

Did she know that he had waited for her all day yesterday?

Han Mingyue raised his hand to rub his head, inexplicably irritated.

The young boy was not unclear about what was going on with himself, but he was also well aware that puppy love isn't good! Can't engage in puppy love!

We are just studying together!

Right! That's it!

I just like the feeling of studying with her!

Studying!

He kept hypnotizing himself, and finally took a deep breath and walked back to his bedroom.

As she stepped out of the clinic's main gate, Zhen Yu saw Zhen Yan waiting for her; without any pleasantries, she directly asked her brother to lead the way, "Let's go! To Bai Xue's house."

"Okay!" Zhen Yan nodded his head and walked forward side by side with his sister.

"Find all your eighth grade textbooks and exercises when you get home tonight!" Zhen Yu looked straight ahead as if she wasn't talking to her brother.

"What the... for what?" Zhen Yan asked, baffled: "You going to self-study eighth grade? Biting off more than you can chew!"

"I know."

Know my ass! What do you mean by 'know'? Are you going to study or not?

Sigh... Why is it getting harder and harder to communicate with my sister...

They continued on without further conversation until they stopped in front of Bai Xue's house.

-

"Knock on the door."

Why should I?! Zhen Yan glared at his sister, but caved under her icy stare.

"Is anyone home?"

"Woof woof woof!"

"Anyone there?"

"Woof woof!"

"Hello?"

"Woof woof!"

...

"..." Zhen Yu watched her silly brother and the stupid dog in the yard 'talking' to each other, struggling to control her urge to roll her eyes...

Luckily, the dog was loud enough that after a few barks, someone came out of the house.

"Bai Xue! My sister's here to see you!" Zhen Yan yelled to the girl in the yard.

"Xiao Yu! I thought you were ignoring me!" Bai Xue burst out the door and gave Zhen Yu a bear hug.

Caught off guard by her swift motion, Zhen Yu couldn't dodge in time.

Seeing a hint of embarrassment and shyness suddenly appear on his expressionless sister's face, Zhen Yan couldn't help but laugh joyfully.

Ha! That's what you get for playing mature all the time, that's how to deal with you!

"Bai Xue, let go of me." Zhen Yu, not used to hugging people for years, felt extremely uncomfortable, her voice wavering slightly.

"Why haven't you come to play with my sister during this summer break? You haven't even been to Fu Yu's house!" Zhen Yan asked Bai Xue curiously.

"My brother's been sick, I had to take care of him at home," Bai Xue complained, then asked: "Xiao Yu, why haven't you come to see me?"

"Uh," Zhen Yu didn't know what to say.

Thankfully, Zhen Yan, her sometimes dunce sometimes genius teammate, chimed in, "There's been a lot of stuff going on at home, my sister's been out of sorts for fun!"

He meant Zhen Yu was caught up in her studies, but to Bai Xue, it sounded like something else.

"What happened? Xiao Yu! Let's go inside and you can tell me about it!" Bai Xue held Zhen Yu's hand and pushed open the yard gate.

As soon as the dog saw Zhen Yan and Zhen Yu enter, it began barking wildly, only to receive a cold glance from Zhen Yu.

Bark again and I'll stew you!

"Err... woof..." The dog seemed to pick up on her signal, abruptly quieting down and scurrying into its kennel with its tail between its legs.

What just happened? Am I blind? Who am I? Where am I?

Zhen Yan stared dumbfounded at this scene. Was this really his sister who had been chased and reduced to tears by a small dog on a stool?

Bai Xue's dog was a sizable black-backed Shepherd, raised specially for protection since her parents separated, and she and her brother lived with Mrs. Bai!

Bai Xue was also astonished, but she was eager to find out what was going on with the Zhen Family, so she hurriedly ushered them into the house.

"Sit!" Bai Xue waved casually, indicating chairs, stools, and the bed-stove – Zhen Yan made himself comfortable, as he'd been here plenty of times following his sister or Fu Yu.

"What happened at your house? I haven't left my house since the summer break started; it's only these last few days my brother got a bit better."

Bai Xue's words had just finished when a fair and clean little boy around five or six years old walked out from the inner room, "Sis!"

He immediately grinned at the sight of Zhen Yan, "Oh, it's Sister Xiao Yu and Brother Yan! Brother Yan, play with me!"

"Sure! Let's go play!" Zhen Yan took the boy's hand and went into the inner room.

"Xiao Yu! Tell me quickly!"

Zhen Yu looked at the fair-skinned and pretty girl in front of her; if she could ignore the gossip-lust in her eyes, Bai Xue would be the epitome of a classical beauty.

It's a pity that her current expression, resembling a gossipy old lady at the corner of the streets, severely ruined her aura.

"Come on, tell me~~" Seeing Zhen Yu remain silent, Bai Xue couldn't help but shake her arm.

With a sigh in her heart, Zhen Yu frankly said, "My brother and I nearly drowned, and our parents are getting divorced."
