Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 20 - Unequal Relationships in Giving and Receiving

Everyone was amused by Mrs. Zhen's words, "Haha... Let's go! Let's see what Cheng Family's eldest sister's shop looks like inside!"

"Just by looking at the outside, it seems pretty good, let's go inside and take a look around!"

Leading the way with high spirits, Mrs. Zhen ushered the group into the store.

Each person entering the shop would subconsciously sneak a peek at Zhen Yu, and although they could only see the top of her dark head, no one dared to ignore her presence.

"Xiao Yu."

Zhen Yu immediately recognized the Voice as Han Mingyue's, quickly turned her head to scan the inside of the shop, confirmed that Mrs. Zhen was talking to someone with her back to the door, grabbed a book in one hand and a person in the other, and dashed out of the shop.

"..." Han Mingyue was a bit stunned, why am I running?

Following closely behind the two, Han Jiayang was even more bewildered, why am I running too?

Zhen Yu dragged Han Mingyue to the end of the row of shops and stopped at the base of Fangshan, leaning against the wall to catch her breath.

"Huff..." Damn it! I'm exhausted!

"Huff... Xiao Yu, Sister! Why, did you run?" Han Jiayang suddenly asked from behind her.

"!" Zhen Yu turned her head to look at Han Jiayang as if his words had nothing to do with her at all.

In reality, she was furiously ranting in her mind.

Scared to death! When did this guy start following me? How did I have no clue at all?

Why did he have to be so straightforward? How am I supposed to respond to him now?

If I tell him straight, will Han Mingyue stop talking to me forever? But I'm not good at making up excuses to lie either!

I wonder if acting like I didn't hear can get me through this?

Ahhhh!

What kind of mess is this!

She...

"Xiao Yu," Han Mingyue suddenly asked her in a relaxed tone, "Are you less busy now that Shoe City is open?"

Zhen Yu pondered for a moment: "It seems so."

"Then you should come over to read the books."

Zhen Yu looked towards Han Mingyue, "But not until the day after tomorrow."

Han Mingyue immediately replied, "Then tomorrow,"

"I want childcare fees." Zhen Yu spoke as if it was somebody else's issue.

"..." The Han brothers fell silent together.

After a while, Han Jiayang couldn't help but blurt out: "Sister Xiaoyu! That kick you did today was so cool! Can you teach me?"

Without hesitation, Zhen Yu rejected him, "No."

"Why not?" Han Jiayang asked, annoyed and a bit embarrassed.

Han Mingyue's gaze flickered but he remained silent.

Zhen Yu's lips parted slightly, and she blurted out an excuse: "Men and women should not touch hands when giving or receiving objects!"

"!" Han Jiayang didn't expect her to come up with such a reason, and was momentarily dumbfounded.

Han Mingyue pursed his lips, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes, remaining quiet.

Zhen Yu subtly tilted her head and pointed him in the right direction, "Once you're in high school, go sign up for a Martial Arts class in Qi City!"

"Qi City? What is taught in Martial Arts classes?" Han Jiayang immediately asked with curiosity.

"Everything, choose for yourself!" Zhen Yu, impatient to list examples one by one, simply used 'everything' to dismiss his question.

"Awesome!" Han Jiayang jumped three feet high, "Then I'll go to High School!"

"You'll be in first year of junior high when school starts!" Zhen Yu ruthlessly crushed his spirit.

"Xiao Yu! Aren't you also in first year! We're in the same class!" Han Jiayang, unable to take it anymore, stopped calling her 'Sister' and called Zhen Yu by her nickname directly.

"..."

Why do I have to be in the same class as him? I want to be in the same class as Han Mingyue!

How can I be in the same class as Han Mingyue?

Ah! Skip a grade! I want to skip a grade!

None of the Han brothers would have guessed that a few words today would lead to Zhen Yu's abrupt decision to skip a grade.

"Are you going back to Shoe City?" Seeing that her brother and Zhen Yu had stopped talking, Han Mingyue changed the subject.

Zhen Yu silently exchanged glances with Han Mingyue, "No, going home."

Han Mingyue cracked a smile, "Then let's go together! We're heading home too."

Han Jiayang was stunned and objected, "No! But you were just... Mmph!"

Zhen Yu glanced sideways at Han Jiayang, who was silenced by Han Mingyue covering his mouth mid-sentence, and said nothing.

Han Mingyue quietly breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, and also felt a bit let down. She didn't ask anything.

Han Jiayang surrendered under his brother's stern look, pouted, and followed them home, twisting his face.

When they reached the fork in the road leading to their respective homes, Zhen Yu didn't hesitate and headed straight for her own yard without a word of goodbye.

Han Mingyue did not expect her saying "let's go home" would actually mean going home...

"Bro! Didn't you say you were going to buy shoes? How come you just came back?" Having held back all the way, Han Jiayang asked as soon as Zhen Yu was far enough away.

Han Mingyue turned towards the clinic, "Fighting is a bad omen; not buying them today."

"..." Are you serious? What kind of lame excuse is that? What does their fight have to do with you!

As if I don't know you're going to see your little girlfriend. I just don't want to burst your bubble!

After finishing his silent retort, Han Jiayang lifted his leg and caught up with his older brother.

Zhen Yu made lunch herself.

Even though Zhen Yan had returned home with money given by Mrs. Zhen, saying she was too busy to leave the store and advising the siblings to buy their own food,

Zhen Yu didn't feel like going out, and her culinary skills were not bad.

Summer calls for crisp and refreshing meals—just slice some cucumber and green spring onions, stir fry a bowl of meat sauce, and accompany it with a bowl of boiled noodles; lunch sorted.

Zhen Yan genuinely didn't know when his sister had mastered such cooking skills; he couldn't stop eating.

Zhen Yu dared not cook too many noodles. Two bowls for Zhen Yan and one for herself, fearing that she might overstuff her brother and in summer, an upset stomach can be truly uncomfortable.

After lunch, both siblings took their separate naps. Zhen Yu checked her system panel.

Tsk! The growth rate is already not slow, but Zhen Yu still feels somewhat dissatisfied.

Unfortunately, in this tiny Laha Town, there aren't many places to rent books from, and she doesn't know any well-endowed families. At this moment, she truly felt—without books to borrow, reading is impossible!

Zhen Yu racked her brains, considering all the people she knew who might have the habit of collecting books, but suddenly, her mind wandered off, and she thought of the Han Family again!

Is she so hung up on the Han Family that she can't extricate herself?

Wailing...

If she were reborn after graduating from high school, she would immediately roll up her sleeves and chase after Han Mingyue!

But... this is just after graduating from primary school; she's still a bean sprout, and Han Mingyue isn't much better.

The two minors, yearning to be in love, leave her feeling—willing in heart, but powerless in strength!

After finishing her griping, Zhen Yu's mind jerked back—where was she? The Han Family? Right! The Han Family!

Uncle Han is a doctor, and she has been in and out of the Han Family's house; she's clearly seen many medical books on his desk!

This stuff is high-tech~~ reading it would surely boost her Knowledge Point like whoosh...

However, ideals are beautiful, reality is cruel.

Medicine taught Zhen Yu how to be a decent person...

In the afternoon, she went to Han Mingyue's House, pretending to casually flip through books, and picked up a "Practical Pediatrics" from Uncle Han's cupboard.

Then, there was no after that... she was so shocked that she began to doubt life.

Pah! No, doubting her rebirth...
