CHAPTER 479: CHAPTER 478: ATTRACTING ATTENTION

Blushing momentarily, Zhen Yu nonchalantly patted the pale pink down jacket onto Bai Xue’s legs and deftly pulled out the light blue one from her hands.

The jackets reached just below their calves. After both girls had stood up to put them on, Zhen Yu naturally took out Han Mingyue’s jacket and handed it over the back of the chair to him.

Of course, Han Mingyue could not hear what Bai Xue said, but the down jacket Zhen Yu was wearing and the one she handed over were obviously the same color, so Han Mingyue immediately picked up on Zhen Yu’s subtle intention.

He was slightly taken aback, then gracefully reached out to take it.

However, for some unknown reason, after taking it, he suddenly flashed a mischievous smile and teased her.

"Actually, I’m not cold yet."

Startled by his words, Zhen Yu then instantly understood the playful meaning in the crow’s feet of his eyes!

Looking for trouble, huh! Zhen Yu glared at Han Mingyue furiously, itching to punch him twice!

However, with so many people in the car, Zhen Yu ultimately managed only to retort annoyedly.

"Love it or leave it!"

Then she immediately turned around and sat down!

Han Mingyue kept his smile and touched his nose, but he stood up and put on the down jacket anyway.

In truth, he wasnot cold at all.

The boys’ uniform was a set of navy blue Sun Yat-sen suits, and he had dressed warmly underneath. Now, sitting next to such a large heat source as Director Luan...

But how could he casually refuse his girlfriend’s kindness?! So, even though he wasn’t cold, he still wore it.

If Zhen Yu knew what Han Mingyue was thinking at the moment, she would probably blurt out and send him a line—there’s a kind of cold called ’you think I’m cold!’

---

Throughout the journey, everyone either ate or slept, occasionally getting off the bus to go to the toilet.

Finally, as the evening darkened, the coach entered Jia City downtown and stopped in front of the Agricultural Reclamation Inn.

As soon as the bus steadied, Teacher Zhang, who sat in the first row, stood up to address the students, "Come on, everybody, cheer up! We’re about to disembark! Those who just woke up, take your time, don’t get blown cold by the wind and catch a cold!"

It was impossible to catch a cold, after all, it wasn’t freezing enough to turn dripping water into ice.

But well! It really was cold.

Because everyone was already standing at the doorstep of the inn, to maintain the team’s image, they couldn’t rush in all at once but had to line up properly before entering in an orderly fashion!

And so, the three people in long down jackets suddenly became the center of attention! Especially eye-catching!

"Hey! Han Mingyue!" Hong Ruixiang suddenly tapped Han Mingyue on the shoulder and called him in a low voice.

Han Mingyue turned his head to look at him but didn’t respond aloud.

"Where’d you buy this down jacket?! Are there other colors? Quickly tell me! I’d like to buy a couple as well!" As Hong Ruixiang spoke, he glanced sideways at Zhen Yu, plainly indicating his desire to get a matching couple’s down jacket as well.

Actually, Han Mingyue really didn’t mind others wearing the same clothes as him.

But well! Just thinking that Hong Ruixiang was currently being all lovey-dovey with Gu Qing! Han Mingyue felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart! If Hong Ruixiang also chose light blue, and everyone mistakenly assumed something...

No way, no way! Just by thinking about it, he already felt extremely sorry for Zhen Yu! Han Mingyue quickly reined in his wandering thoughts, shaking his head at Hong Ruixiang and saying, "You probably can’t find it in Qi City! But you might have better luck in Jia City! Maybe you’ll find something more suitable there."

---

"How did it go, how did it go?? Did you ask?" As soon as Hong Ruixiang approached Gu Qing, she couldn’t wait to ask!

Hong Ruixiang shook his head at her and consoled, "He didn’t say! How about we look around in Jia City? I promise to buy it for you,"

Before he could finish his sentence, Gu Qing frowned and interrupted, "No! I want one that’s exactly the same as the one Bai Xue is wearing!!!"

Hong Ruixiang’s expression shifted rapidly before finally, with great patience, he coaxed her: "Alright, alright! It’s just a pink one! I promise to buy you one that’s pinker than hers! Happy now?!"

"Fine, fine, don’t get angry now!"

Gu Qing’s thoughts spun round and round, and only when she realized he couldn’t possibly stoop to inquiring for her a second time did she finally soften her demeanor.

"That’s what you said! I have my own money, you don’t need to buy it for me! But you must find me a down jacket even prettier than the one Bai Xue is wearing! Otherwise, I won’t agree!"

"Alright, alright! I promise!" Hong Ruixiang kept his head down as he agreed, using this angle to successfully mask the impatience in his eyes.

If it weren’t for that little beauty Bai Xue who constantly followed the intimidating Zhen Yu, making it impossible for him to find any inroad, he wouldn’t have settled for pursuing Gu Qing! And who knows what she thinks every day! She always has to compete with Bai Xue in everything!

It’s not that he’s being mean! Has she even taken a good look at herself in the mirror!

Apart from her chest, in what way is she better than Bai Xue!?

Competing! Competing! Competing for what exactly! Why can’t she contently be herself?!

---

After swiftly handling the check-in procedures and hurriedly dining, everyone returned to their respective rooms. Teacher Zhang and Director Luan had both said that everyone needed to rest up and prepare for tomorrow night’s performance, striving for perfection!

The inn only had standard rooms, so naturally Zhen Yu and Bai Xue shared one.

And Han Mingyue... he seemed to be tethered by Director Luan!

The first thing Zhen Yu did after washing up and sitting on the bed was to take out her sewing kit to mend her dress!

It was forgivable that she hadn’t worn it today, but by tomorrow, when schools from various bureaus all arrived at the performance venue, if she stood out like a sore thumb in their neatly uniformed ranks, that would be truly unacceptable!

After tidying up, Bai Xue sat down beside Zhen Yu and started chatting sporadically.

The two were enjoying their conversation when suddenly they heard a knock on the door!

"Didn’t they say to go to bed early? Who could it be?" Bai Xue muttered as she went to open the door.

Teacher Zhang stood at the door.

"Bai Xue! Zhen Yu’s dress is damaged, right? I just went out to buy some thread and needles, I came to help her mend it!"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yu quickly held up the work in her hands and approached the door, saying, "Thank you, Teacher, but there’s no need. I’ve already sewn almost half of it."

"Where did you get thread and needles? Oh! You’re so young and you can already sew! Let me see! If it’s not good enough, I’ll have to redo it." Teacher Zhang was just asking casually before taking the dress from Zhen Yu’s hands.

"Oh-ho! This is quite well sewn! Alright then, I’m heading back now! You two rest after you’ve finished mending!"

"Goodbye, Teacher Zhang."
