CHAPTER 653: CHAPTER 652: THINK ABOUT IT

I never expected that after explaining to the head teacher that I was late because I overslept,

I’d still be required to write a reflection!

Thus, upon returning to the classroom from the office, Zhen Yu and Han Mingyue had no choice but to resignedly bury themselves in writing furiously.

For being late, a five hundred-word reflection! Zhen Yu felt this was simply inhuman!

Just when she was wracking her brain with a pen in hand to admit her fault, she suddenly heard someone calling her name at the classroom door!

She looked up! Wow! It was Shen Qi, whom she hadn’t interacted with for a long time!

Given that Zhen Yu was already at a loss for words, she decisively slammed her pen down on the table, wanting to go out and hear what this boredom reliever had to say to her!

Unfortunately, before she could even stand up, her hand was suddenly grasped by someone!

Zhen Yu turned her head in confusion to Han Mingyue, her eyes inquiring—"What are you pulling me for?"

Han Mingyue pulled her a bit closer and whispered in her ear, "I’m guessing she’s probably here to talk to you about the middle school reunion."

"Oh... no problem!" Zhen Yu suddenly realized. Then she patted Han Mingyue’s hand, signaling for him to let her go.

Seeing Zhen Yu insisting on going out, Han Mingyue had to let her go.

Yet his gaze followed her from her seat to the doorway until Zhen Yu and Shen Qi’s figures disappeared from sight before he lowered his head again.

Jia Ming, seated in the back, witnessed it all and couldn’t help but chuckle as he nudged Han Ming.

"Worried huh? Want me to go out there and take a look for you?"

Han Mingyue instantly refused, "No need!"

"But you were still watching!" Jia Ming teased, then suddenly leaned forward and whispered, "But seriously! You were late, and how come she was late too?"

"A coincidence, that’s all," Han Mingyue replied very calmly.

—

Shen Qi’s intention for seeking out Zhen Yu was indeed just as Han Mingyue had guessed, concerning the reunion.

But the first thing she said upon seeing her was to inform Zhen Yu of the date and time of the reunion, without any forethought of asking Zhen Yu’s opinion!

So Zhen Yu immediately let her experience a slap in the face! She outright refused to attend on the spot!

"What do you mean, Zhen Yu? This is a group activity! Everyone else is going; if you don’t, are you trying to act superior? You think people are begging you to go?!" Shen Qi was full of accusations and even attempted to morally coerce Zhen Yu under the guise of group unity.

"Say whatever you want! I’m just not going! I didn’t ask you to plead with me! You came to notify me, I refused; it’s that simple!"

Zhen Yu glared at Shen Qi with an unchallengeable expression, clearly trying to infuriate her.

"You! How can you be so selfish! Even if you won’t attend, why are you stopping Han Mingyue from going?!"

Zhen Yu chuckled inwardly.

She knew that Shen Qi’s real intention wasn’t to invite her to the reunion, but to criticize her!

With their relationship, Shen Qi would probably be more than happy if she didn’t attend! How could she possibly make a special trip to invite her!

So it turned out, as expected, that the old drunkard’s interest was not in the wine...

"How do you know I stopped Han Mingyue from going? Did he tell you that?"

Shen Qi’s expression flickered for a moment!

She really wanted to say "yes," but she also knew that such a lie could not fool Zhen Yu! So she retorted directly, "Isn’t it obvious? He initially agreed perfectly fine! If it wasn’t for you, would he suddenly go back on his word and say he’s not going? You must have said something bad to him!"

"Hehe! He agreed perfectly fine? Do you want me to go in and ask now?"

"You! At least he didn’t refuse! Last Saturday he said he’d think about it, and then on Sunday, in the group chat—"

Zhen Yu suddenly forced out a laugh so fake it couldn’t get any faker!

"Heh heh! You’re right! It was me who stopped him from going! Happy now? Are you pleased?"

"You! Humph!"

Shen Qi, furious and gritting his teeth, stormed back into Classroom One.

Only then did Zhen Yu slowly make her way back to Classroom Two.

She felt no joy of triumph, instead a bellyful of acidity had returned with her...

—

As soon as Zhen Yu sat down, Han Mingyue, who had been paying attention to her, immediately noticed that her mood was off!

She promptly leaned in and asked softly, "What’s wrong?! Are you angry?"

Zhen Yu shook her head, not wanting to talk.

After thinking for a moment, Han Mingyue suddenly suggested, "Next time she comes looking for you, just don’t go out! Since seeing her makes you unhappy, simply ignore her from now on!"

"You ignore her if I don’t?" These words burst out from Zhen Yu’s mouth without passing through her brain!

Han Mingyue froze upon hearing this, then he suddenly realized something...

Glancing around, he saw that the classmates in the front and back seats had all settled neatly into place! Han Mingyue could only flip over the notebook in front of him, scribble something on the back page, and push it towards Zhen Yu.

Zhen Yu glanced down and saw what he wrote: "What did she say to you? You’re so jealous!"

Without needing Han Mingyue to say it, Zhen Yu knew she was jealous! So since he asked, she directly grabbed the pen and wrote: "She said you agreed to consider it on Saturday!"

After writing this, Zhen Yu pushed the notebook back to Han Mingyue with a touch of defiance!

Han Mingyue, who rarely saw Zhen Yu being petulant, laughed softly.

He quickly responded to what she wrote, "It wasn’t her I was agreeing to! It was a phone call from a male classmate from the health school."

"So you were thinking of going then?" Actually, the part that made Zhen Yu jealous was the "consider it" part.

After reading this, Han Mingyue suddenly buried his face in the notebook, shifting into a vibrational laugh as he lay there.

Zhen Yu couldn’t understand what he found so funny; sitting next to him, she felt really weird!

After a few seconds of his non-stop laughter, Zhen Yu simply flipped over her own notebook too!

And she started to write with the pen!

"What are you laughing at?!"

After finishing, Zhen Yu forcefully pushed Han Mingyue’s head to the side and thrust her own notebook in front of his eyes...

Han Mingyue went with the flow and lifted his head off the desk, grabbed Zhen Yu’s notebook, and wrote, "I’m laughing at your silliness!"

Seeing this, Zhen Yu leaned close to where Han Mingyue’s hand was and drew three question marks!

"???"

"I was just casually answering, only a fool would take it seriously!"

"You really didn’t want to go?"

"Then why are you still asking me!"

Zhen Yu wrote two sentences in a row! Because she suddenly remembered that Han Mingyue had indeed asked her opinion at the internet café yesterday...

"I don’t want to go! But if you were going, I would definitely accompany you!"

After reading this, Zhen Yu glanced at Han Mingyue! Then her mood suddenly cleared up just like a sky after the rain.
