CHAPTER 412: CHAPTER 411: EVERYTHING IS READY

"Xiao Yu! I’ve handed the things over to Bai Xue. But doing this," Han Mingyue, although complying with everything Zhen Yu says, couldn’t help but worry about her.

"No worries! Forget about her! You and Han Jiaoyang better hurry up and pack, catch the bus over here first thing tomorrow morning!"

"Got it! Everything’s already packed." With that, Han Mingyue couldn’t help but smile.

This wasn’t the first time Zhen Yu had urged him, it made Han Mingyue feel like she was especially eager to see him.

"Alright then! I won’t come to pick you up tomorrow. Make sure you remember to bring umbrellas! It’s still raining over here in Qi City!"

"It’s raining in Laha too! It’s been raining since the exams started and it looks like it won’t clear up by tomorrow."

Hearing this made Zhen Yu extra concerned, "Later, you tell Mrs. Han to have Uncle Han stack some sandbags at the door! Just in case the rain gets too heavy, they can block the door with them!"

Zhen Yu’s tone was very cautious, making Han Mingyue serious as well.

"Okay, I got it! On your end,"

How could Zhen Yu possibly neglect her own property! She quickly interjected: "I’m already fully prepared! Don’t worry! If it gets flooded, it won’t reach me!"

"Heh... that’s good! I,"

Suddenly, Mrs. Han’s voice from afar interrupted Han Mingyue, causing his next words to get stuck in his throat.

"Ming Yue! Hurry up! We need to get going!"

Zhen Yu immediately and understandingly asked, "You heading out?"

"Yeah! My mom says we should visit grandma’s house before heading to Qi City."

"Then you better go! We’ll talk more when we meet tomorrow."

"Then... see you tomorrow!"

Zhen Yu chuckled and swiftly said, "Hanging up!"

Listening to the ’beep beep’ sound in his ear, Han Mingyue gave a wry smile and put the receiver back down.

His girlfriend was much more carefree than he was! This made him feel somewhat embarrassed...

——

After hanging up with Han Mingyue, Zhen Yu immediately called Fu Yu’s house’s landline.

"Hello! Is that Xiao Yu?!" As soon as the call connected, Bai Xue’s excited voice came through from the other side.

"It’s me." Influenced by her mood, Zhen Yu couldn’t help but smile too.

"Xiao Yu!! Let me tell you! I feel like I did super well on the exams!" Bai Xue’s tone was super exaggerated! "It might really be because of the herbal pills your traditional Chinese doctor prescribed! I felt like I had unlocked some kind of special pathways; every question looked familiar! I didn’t care whether they were right or not! I just guessed them all! Hehe..."

Zhen Yu was generous with her praise, responding with: "Well done!"

"You must have done super well too! I mean really super well!!" Bai Xue seemed to have a mysterious trust in Zhen Yu, asserting a conclusion without even asking her! She then shifted the conversation, "Xiao Yu! Are you coming back during summer vacation? I miss you!"

Bai Xue truly missed her childhood friend, Zhen Yu. In the blink of an eye, it had been a year since they last saw each other!

Zhen Yu actually misses Bai Xue a lot! This beautiful and straightforward girl is always so carefree and always wearing a smile! Zhen Yu feels that her own thoughts become much simpler when she is with her.

Unfortunately, a storm is coming soon.

"I,"

Zhen Yu had only said one word when Bai Xue suddenly interrupted her quietly, "Oh no! I almost forgot! My younger uncle is graduating this year! He will be home in a few days! Xiao Yu, you must not come back! Absolutely do not come back!!"

"...I won’t come back!" Zhen Yu silently sighed, "Don’t run around this summer break! Just stay at home and wait for school to start! When you come to Qi City, I’ll come to pick you up!! If you don’t listen,"

Threatening words were only half-spoken when Bai Xue immediately started to act obedient, "I’ll listen, I promise! It’s raining so heavily, where could I go!? Staying home and watching TV series is awesome!! If it weren’t for picking up the phone today, I wouldn’t even have gone to my grandpa’s house! I’m all drenched."

"Heh!" Zhen Yu burst into laughter, such a typical Bai Xue thing to say! She really wasn’t afraid that Zhen Yu would misunderstand it as complaining about her. "Ask Aunt Fu to prepare some sandbags to surround the front door soon! It’s raining more frequently, it would be bad if water started pouring into the house!"

"The water! The last rainy day water entered our house! Luckily, it wasn’t much, just above the ankles. Then my mom surrounded the doorway! Every time we enter or leave, we have to step over! It’s been raining a lot lately, I heard her complaining that our house is lower than outside, she wants to use more sandbags to build a dam! Haha... I told her she thinks she’s a beaver, and she snapped at me a couple of times!"

Zhen Yu felt as if a flock of crows flew over her head... because she also built dams in front of all the store doors, so was she also a ’Zhen beaver’ now?!

"...It’s good that auntie is prepared! I won’t talk much now, I’ll call you again before school starts!"

"Oh, alright then!" Although Bai Xue didn’t understand why Zhen Yu was in a hurry to hang up, perhaps she had some urgent matter!

So Bai Xue still cooperated and said, "Then go ahead! I’m going back home to watch TV too!"

"Okay! Bye."

—

"Are you done with the call?" Zhen Yu just came downstairs when Li Si’er started a conversation.

"Yes, is the cleaning done?" Zhen Yu was in a rush to make a call earlier so she hadn’t looked closely, but now she noticed that the first floor had changed a lot compared to her last visit!

"Yes! Everything’s cleaned up! Today, we have to deliver computer desks and chairs! Even Zhang Liang is coming to do the wiring!"

Zhen Yu rarely opened her mouth to tease, "So you mean everything’s ready! Just waiting for my computer to be set up?!"

"Exactly!" Li Si’er gave Zhen Yu a knowing look for her to grasp, "Xiao Yu, you’re a sensible girl! You better hurry up then! I heard from third brother that his business had very high revenue this opening month!"

Zhen Yu didn’t feel the panic of being ’thoroughly figured out’ at all.

She smiled slightly before saying, "Fourth Brother, have you and Third Brother calculated it? The dividends from owning 36 computers in an internet cafe and owning 100 computers are different!"

Li Si’er’s face showed a bit of awkwardness, "...We calculated! Upon calculating..."

Zhen Yu caught on and continued, "Did you figure it out?"

Li Si’er nodded vigorously.

"You two now share the dividends of ten computers each, both invested forty thousand, and you expect to break even in less than half a year! In such a profitable industry, haven’t you thought about starting your own internet cafe and being real bosses?!"

"What, what do you mean?!" Li Si was startled, then suddenly jumped three feet high!

"Xiao, Xiao Yu!! Are you, are you not trusting us anymore?! We brothers, we’re not that kind of people!! Absolutely not!!"

A warm current flowed through Zhen Yu’s heart, prompting her to softly persuade, "Fourth Brother! Listen to me first!"
