CHAPTER 630: CHAPTER 629: FIND SOMEONE ELSE

Even knowing that nothing good happens when you stop, Han Mingyue still looked at Lu Mei in silence, waiting for her to state her purpose.

But... despite his calm exterior, he was actually both annoyed and awkward inside! He just hoped that Lu Mei wouldn’t dawdle!

He wanted her to quickly speak up so he could promptly go through the process of rejecting her and head home!

Fortunately! Lu Mei’s subsequent actions indeed did not disappoint him, she blurted out her thoughts without even catching her breath!

"Han Mingyue! Be my boyfriend!"

Before her words even finished, Han Mingyue decisively said: "Impossible! I don’t like you, find someone else!"

After dropping that line, Han Mingyue swiftly passed by Lu Mei, who was stunned by the rejection!

He walked away so fast, without a hint of reluctance!

He had many girls chasing after him! But to be so straightforward about ’confirming the relationship’, Lu Mei really was the first!

Compared to those girls who were coy and wasted his time, this method wasn’t as annoying!

But what of it?

In his eyes and heart, there had always been only Xiao Yu, everyone else felt the same to him! Equally indifferent!

Han Mingyue’s figure gradually vanished into the night, leaving only Lu Mei standing there with a vacant gaze, silent and speechless.

Lu Huai, who had secretly followed after finding out where Lu Mei was, let out a sigh, feeling both heartache and conflict as he walked out from hiding.

"Let’s go! Your mom will wonder where you’ve been if it gets too late!"

Lu Mei, still dazed, looked up at her cousin and after pursing her lips, she finally asked.

"You... You heard everything?"

Lu Huai nodded, the words of persuasion almost leaving his lips, but he forcibly swallowed them back down.

Forget it... next time!

Next time, after a few days when his cousin calms down from this ordeal, he would find a good time to have a serious talk with her!

Why did she have to like Han Mingyue from all the boys in school!

Even so, alright! He would admit that Han Mingyue was indeed very handsome! Extremely handsome! But who could handle Zhen Yu’s overprotectiveness?! What good could come from competing with her for a boyfriend....

——

The next morning, as soon as Zhen Yu walked into the classroom, she noticed something was wrong!

Han Mingyue had actually moved to the inside, near the window, and taken her original seat.

After sitting down on the exterior side, Zhen Yu went straight to the point and asked, "Why did you suddenly switch seats with me?"

Han Mingyue had already thought of an excuse, so his answer came naturally, "Annoying! Help me block them!"

Zhen Yu got it in a second! Then with a twinkle in her eye, she teased him softly, "Didn’t you tell me there was no need before?"

Han Mingyue’s breath hitched! Why blurt out such a painfully truthful joke!

After adjusting his mindset, he replied to her with feigned toughness, "Pretend I never said that!"

Zhen Yu couldn’t help but laugh.

Actually, those little tricks played by the girls, like ’you dropped something, let me bend down and tie my shoelaces,’ were all quite childish. Zhen Yu always treated it like watching a free show! After all, it was just for the ten minutes of break time.

Although it did give Han Mingyue a bit of a headache, who told him to be so stubborn before, outright refusing her help!

Not only did Han Mingyue ignore those girls who were desperately trying to get noticed, but the more they tried to annoy him, the more irritated he felt towards them.

Since things turned out the opposite of what was expected, Zhen Yu was naturally happy to let it be.

It’s just that now, when she starts sitting next to the aisle, she wondered if anyone would still come over to put on a show for her...

---

The morning passed by quietly without a single person ’jumping around’.

However, to say it was quiet wasn’t entirely accurate because Zhen Yu noticed that more than once, during the ten-minute breaks between classes, Lu Mei kept turning her head to look at Han Mingyue! To glare at her!

Her gaze was like a poisoned dagger, continuously thrusting towards Zhen Yu’s face...

Looking for trouble! Zhen Yu sensed an impending storm immediately.

And sure enough! Right after the first afternoon class ended and the teacher had just left, Lu Mei stood up with her desk mate!

"Zhen Yu! Gu Qing! The next class is P.E., let’s go move the mats together!"

The mid-May spring sunlight in the northeast was bright and perfect for outdoor activities! So starting last week, the P.E. teacher took the students to practice sit-ups and pull-ups in every class.

As he put it—"Don’t think you still have a year before the joint exams, exercise requires a long-term accumulation process! Many students’ grades are not up to standard, if you start practicing diligently now you could still catch up! If you wait until a few days before the exam to become anxious and exert effort, you won’t even have a place to apply that energy!"

So these mats... obviously were the mats for the girls to practice their sit-ups.

Upon hearing Lu Mei’s call, Gu Qing immediately stood up and responded, "Okay!"

Zhen Yu, however, directly refused: "Not going! Find someone else!"

---

If Zhen Yu had simply refused with a ’not going’, Lu Mei might have just swallowed her anger, waiting for another excuse to trouble Zhen Yu later on.

But Zhen Yu just had to follow up with another sentence—"Find someone else..."—"Find someone else..."

Lu Mei had just heard this very phrase last night! This damned coincidence was like pouring oil on fire and exploded Lu Mei’s temper in an instant, causing her to become furiously enraged.

"Why should I find someone else?! Tell me! Since you transferred to Class 2, what have you done for the class collective? All you do is wait for others to handle things! What’s wrong with directing you for once!? Does serving your classmates once kill you?!"

Zhen Yu looked up from her unfinished exercise book and considered Lu Mei seriously, even though she knew Lu Mei was targeting her on purpose, it suddenly seemed to make sense!

If that was the case...

"Then I’ll move all of today’s mats by myself! No need for you three to go!"

As Zhen Yu spoke, she had already put her pen into the case, and neatly closed her exercise book.

"Come on! Help me move the mats!" Zhen Yu stood up and casually pulled Han Mingyue along, "Serving classmates, I can do it!"

"Sure! Let’s go." Han Mingyue agreed and got up with a smile to follow.

Lu Mei watched breathlessly as the two of them left the classroom one after the other, mentally cursing with rage!

What did she see her as? A matchmaker?

To so brazenly flirt right in front of everyone! Did she think the whole class was blind?!

"Have you noticed,"

Lu Mei was just about to seize the opportunity to stir things up and generate some gossip about Zhen Yu, but was suddenly interrupted by the boy in front of her who blurted out, "Have you noticed, Zhen Yu is actually quite reasonable?"
