CHAPTER 643: CHAPTER 642: DON’T WANT TO EAT FISH

"... so you mean to say that now you only have some basic functions left, right?"

[I, I just have damage in my energy slot! It’s just that I lack energy, which caused the advanced functions to be automatically shielded and unable to run!]

"So, you’re basically saying you’re not functioning, huh..."

System Xiao Liu’er was infuriated by the words ’not functioning’! It wished it could twist itself into a pretzel in Zhen Yu’s hands!

[You’re the one not functioning! Your whole family isn’t functioning!]

Ding Ling Ling Ling Ling—The 5 o’clock alarm went off.

"Doesn’t our whole family include you too?"

After dropping this sentence in her mind, Zhen Yu casually wrapped the Little White Snake around her wrist, put on her shoes, and swiftly got downstairs! She didn’t care at all about what System Xiao Liu’er might think after being forced to confess!

It was just a blink of an eye from the second floor to the first floor! Before Zhen Yu even reached the dormitory building entrance, she saw the figure wearing a hoodie, facing away from her!

She had planned to call out to him directly! But as Zhen Yu opened her mouth, she changed her mind last minute.

She tiptoed towards Han Ming Yue deliberately, and when she was about two or three steps away from him, she suddenly jumped behind him! Grabbing the back of his clothes and not letting go!

"!"

Han Ming Yue was startled! And he quickly turned around! But he found that the person behind him also moved with his turn and remained closely behind him! She even giggled!

"Hehehehehe..."

"Xiao Yu!" Discovering he’d been pranked like a mother hen, Han Ming Yue turned his body twice more, but Zhen Yu still hid behind him like a chick, refusing to come out! Thus, he had no choice but to plead resignedly: "Come on, let go. We’re at school!"

Ah! She was so caught up in her prank that she forgot to tone it down!

Zhen Yu tugged at the corner of her mouth, quickly let go as told, and immediately said, "Let’s go!"

Han Ming Yue smiled and followed her without a word.

——

The two of them walked towards the school gate, keeping a distance of one person’s space between them, exchanging glances along the way without speaking a word.

Only after they exited First High School’s gate did Zhen Yu relax.

"Where are we eating?"

"Qi University! My brother said there’s a new place right by the Affiliated School!"

"What kind of place?" Zhen Yu changed her footsteps and turned towards Qi University. "Has Jiaoyang tried it? Is it good?"

"Hmm! You’ll know once you go there!" Han Ming Yue said ambiguously.

Seeing him not elaborating, Zhen Yu didn’t ask further, but still complained, "Since when did you start playing coy!?"

Han Ming Yue avoided the question and changed the topic, "I talked to my dad about the trademark thing!"

"Oh? What did Uncle Han say?" Zhen Yu was quite interested in this matter.

"My dad agreed, and he also thought of a design, using ginseng! But he said his own drawing skills are poor! So after eating, I want to go online and look for some ginseng images."

"Looking for some should work! If there’s nothing suitable, I suggest your family find a good-looking ginseng and take a picture of it!"

Han Ming Yue paused for a moment!

"Right! Taking a picture would definitely be better than drawing! But... where do we find good ginseng?"

"Herbal shop?!" Zhen Yu tentatively suggested a place that might have ginseng, then suddenly burst out laughing!

"Haha! What we northeast residents have no shortage of is ginseng! Since Uncle Han can run a pharmacy, he definitely has connections! You don’t need to worry that much, just ask when you get back!"

——

Zhen Yu’s reasoning was very sound, and Han Ming Yue nodded, not adding anything more.

They finally reached the Stone Pot Fish restaurant, and he pointed at the sign above the store and started talking.

"We’re here! This is the place!"

"Ah?!" Zhen Yu exclaimed in surprise, her face clearly saying ’Are you kidding me?’

But Han Mingyue didn’t hesitate for a moment as she grabbed her hand, "Ah what? Hurry up and get inside!"

"I don’t want to! I don’t want to eat fish!" Zhen Yu’s whole body was radiating resistance!

But Han Mingyue was very determined, "You can’t not eat! I’ve noticed your picky eating! You say anything is fine, but you won’t touch fish if you can help it!"

"Eating fish is such a hassle..."

Zhen Yu was all twisted up with anxiety, but Han Mingyue declared firmly, "I’ll pick out the bones for you!"

Zhen Yu had no choice but to continue looking for excuses, "But fish has a fishy taste,"

"Have a table for two? Our fish here isn’t fishy at all! I guarantee you’ll want to eat it again after trying it once!"

The waiter came out just in time and interrupted, effectively blocking Zhen Yu’s second excuse for not wanting to eat fish.

"Would you like a few pounds? Our fish are all alive and freshly killed! Guaranteed fresh!"

While talking, the waiter led the two of them to the fish tank, where a large tank full of fish swam back and forth!

"If both of you are normal eaters, how many pounds would be appropriate?" Han Mingyue had never eaten stone pot fish before, so she had to ask.

"If you’re just eating fish, about three pounds would do! If you want to order other dishes, then a bit over two pounds!"

"Then let’s go with three pounds!"

"What kind of fish is this?!"

Han Mingyue and Zhen Yu both asked at once! The waiter replied calmly, "Grass carp! One weighing three pounds! Please find a place to sit first! Would you like anything else?"

"No need," Han Mingyue coldly refused. "Today we’re just eating fish!"

Zhen Yu’s face instantly turned bitter!

---

"Han Mingyue..."

While sitting at the table waiting for the dish, Zhen Yu tried to save herself!

"Hmm?"

Zhen Yu pleaded painfully, "Why do you insist on making me eat only fish? Can’t I order something else?"

"No!" Han Mingyue flatly refused, without even bothering to give a reason!

"If you order it, I won’t let you eat it!"

"...Are you angry?" Zhen Yu hesitated for a moment, then leaned towards Han Mingyue and asked in a low voice.

Han Mingyue immediately said, "No!"

Zhen Yu blinked her big eyes, feeling that his quick response seemed a bit guilty!

"You must be angry! Otherwise, why insist on fish now, and not earlier or later?"

Han Mingyue: "..."

Was he angry? Perhaps, a little!

So, that’s why he chose this restaurant that his brother had told him about the week before last...

Seeing Han Mingyue silent, Zhen Yu took it as an implicit agreement.

Then she began to guess the reason for his anger, "Are you angry because I went back to Laha with Bai Xue?"

Han Mingyue still remained silent.

"Then, I admit my mistake! Please don’t force me to eat fish, okay? I really don’t like the fishy taste at all!"

"This restaurant’s way of cooking fish is different from others! It doesn’t have the taste you mentioned!"
