CHAPTER 429: CHAPTER 428: BLESSINGS FROM BODHISATTVA

Zhen Yu, hearing that Han Mingyue was quite sick with a cold, didn’t let him get out of bed and directly brought him toiletries and breakfast, then went out to eat her own meal.

Seeing this, Zhen Yan and Han Jiayang simply stopped bothering with Han Mingyue and went to the martial arts hall together after breakfast. After all, Zhen Yu was at home!

After Han Mingyue also finished his breakfast, Zhen Yu cleaned up the dishes and boiled a pot of water, then took a thermos and medicine box to Han Mingyue’s room.

Pouring a cup of warm water on the table, Zhen Yu took out two pills and handed them over, "Take your medicine!"

Her tone was not very good, Han Mingyue immediately silently reached out to take the pills and obediently swallowed them with water.

After finishing the medicine and putting down the cup, he simply hung his head down! The entire person looked as though he was meditating like an old monk.

The more he behaved obediently and sensibly, the more it pained Zhen Yu’s heart, making her feel so upset that she wanted to scratch the walls!

It’s all Lu Huai’s damn fault!

Not only did he trick her, but he also involved Han Mingyue!

She must keep Han Mingyue far away from him!

And follow him to the guitar training in the future!

In case one day she’s not careful, and that scoundrel Lu Huai tricks Han Mingyue again!

With this thought, as soon as Han Mingyue bowed his head, Zhen Yu pulled over a chair to sit down and started speaking.

"From now on, stop dealing with Lu Huai! I think whoever gets close to him is jinxed!"

Han Mingyue was silent for a while, then asked in a low voice, "Isn’t he your friend?"

"A friend my ass! More like a bad influence!" Zhen Yu retorted with a snort.

In just a moment, Zhen Yu suddenly had a realization! It seemed like every time something went wrong, Lu Huai was always involved!

"That guy’s simply a jinx reincarnate! Ruins lives without compensating!"

Han Mingyue, still with his head down: "???"

It feels like there’s a story here... just not sure if he should ask.

Turned out he didn’t need to ask! The annoyed Zhen Yu started ranting on her own!

"I just realized that..."

—

Originally, after last night’s awkwardness, Han Mingyue felt very embarrassed to face Zhen Yu!

Especially... he didn’t even have the courage to make eye contact with her this morning!

However, Zhen Yu’s ranting was so sharp and caustic that Han Mingyue couldn’t help but lift his head and laugh while listening. The atmosphere between them became natural the instant he laughed.

As they kept talking, the gloom in Zhen Yu’s chest dispersed quite a bit.

Finally, she sighed deeply, "Ah... I always feel like I should pray to Buddha to not put Lu Huai and me in the same class again!"

At this, Han Mingyue’s voice suddenly drifted, "Then who do you want to be in the same class with?"

Zhen Yu couldn’t help but give him a look, then she herself couldn’t help but purse her lips and silently laughed.

In the room lit by a lamp on a rainy day, her smiling profile was as beautiful as an oil painting! Suddenly, Han Mingyue felt a dry throat, his Adam’s apple moving unconsciously.

"I also want to pray to Buddha..."

"Hmm?" Zhen Yu turned her head to look at him, "Pray for what?"

"May you and I always be in the same class!"

Right after saying this, Han Mingyue secretly clenched his fist under the blanket.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to be honest, but he was used to not promising things he wasn’t sure he could achieve.

And... he also didn’t want to put too much pressure on Zhen Yu.

---

"In the same class, huh..." Zhen Yu looked a bit troubled, "Tell the truth! How did you really do on the high school entrance exam?"

Han Mingyue thought back and very fairly mentioned the points he lost in each subject. "...that’s about it, I think the score I estimated is pretty accurate!"

"Then I guess it’s unlikely we’ll be in the same class!" Zhen Yu decided to give Han Mingyue a heads up, "My estimated score is higher than yours, and with the extra points from participating in city-level competitions, getting into the top class shouldn’t be a problem. Your grades would probably put you in the second tier."

Han Mingyue gave Zhen Yu a helpless smile.

"No worries! Didn’t Zhen Yan say? First High School reassigns the top class members every half term!"

Zhen Yu stared at him steadily, "You mean,"

"I’ll work hard!" Han Mingyue said as he suddenly reached out a hand, covering the back of Zhen Yu’s hand on the bedside, "By then, I might need to ask for your help!"

Zhen Yu blinked, also raising her other hand to pat Han Mingyue’s hand back, in a bro-like spirit, "Don’t worry! I’ve got you covered!"

Han Mingyue: "..."

No! Zhen Yu, you weren’t like this last night!

What’s with this intermittently working emotional quotient? Could it be... sporadically blessed by a deity!?

"Why aren’t you speaking? Are you drowsy from the medicine? Why don’t you take a nap!"

Zhen Yu thought she guessed right, and quickly stood up, "You lie down! I’ll turn off the light!"

Han Mingyue sighed helplessly, "...Alright then!"

---

Han Mingyue was sick for over two weeks.

First, his fever would go down during the day but spike again at night, along with continuous night sweats! Just when the fever stopped after three days, he immediately started having a runny nose, teary eyes, and sneezing! When he was about to finish a whole roll of toilet paper, his symptoms changed again! It turned into a sore throat, so sore that swallowing saliva was difficult!

The heavy rain outside kept pouring non-stop, and the nearest clinic to First High School was several streets away! Zhen Yu ran back and forth, getting Han Mingyue the right cold medicine and even humbly asked the clinic’s doctor to give him several anti-inflammatory IV drips, but it still didn’t make much of an effect!

Seeing Han Mingyue unable to swallow his food because of throat pain, Zhen Yuxin was so anxious she wanted to knock him out and whisk him away to the hospital using the Storage Space!

But System Xiao Liu’er quickly stopped her!

It said unless it was a matter of life and death, it absolutely couldn’t let Zhen Yu take such a big risk!

Because of this, the two once again had a huge fallout! However, this time Zhen Yu gave System Xiao Liu’er the cold shoulder...

On the tenth day, Han Mingyue’s throat finally started getting better, but then he began to cough incessantly...

Han Mingyue coughed for about a week, and Zhen Yu was busy for another week.

Three meals a day of stewed pear with rock sugar! Whether it was effective for Han Mingyue or not, Zhen Yan didn’t know! The one who hated sweets could only vow never to eat pears again in this lifetime, especially those stewed till mushy!

Sharing the same sentiment was Han Jiayang, tired of eating what was continuously stewed, begging for mercy from his sister-in-law...

Finally, when Han Mingyue’s cold got better, Zhen Yu immediately coerced him to also enroll in the Martial Arts Hall! And she even demanded that not only during the summer break, but he must also continue learning martial arts with Han Jiayang even after starting high school!

What could Han Mingyue do?! With a girlfriend so insistent, all he could do was obediently comply...
