After walking a short distance, Bai Xue couldn’t help but express her confusion: "Eh?! But she clearly had sothing she wanted to say just now!" Zhen Yu just smiled without comnt. This silly girl...
"Quick, help look for Liu Ting!"
"Liu Ting? Is that the rather dark-skinned girl? What do you want her for?" Bai Xue asked bluntly without restraint.
"That’s her." Zhen Yu tactfully replied, "Please, don’t ntion her dark skin in front of her."
"I’m not stupid!" Bai Xue said, annoyed with Zhen Yu, and started looking around urgently. "Hurry and find her before she leaves!"
"Okay!" Zhen Yu responded and began searching the crowd as well.
Han Mingyue stood where the ninth-grade class one used to gather and watched the two girls stretching their necks and looking around in the crowd. After a mont of hesitation, she still decided to approach them.
"Who are you two looking for? Let help! I’m tall."
Bai Xue spoke quickly, "We’re looking for Liu Ting! It’s that," but suddenly, Zhen Yu yanked her forcefully, startling Bai Xue, "Ah! What happened?"
Along with Bai Xue’s startled voice, Liu Ting’s cheerful voice sounded not far behind her, "Zhen Yu! Why haven’t you guys left yet?"
"..." Bai Xue’s mouth twitched, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness Zhen Yu pulled her back, or else... What perfect timing for that person to show up!
"Liu Ting! I was just about to look for you!" Zhen Yu walked up to her with a clear purpose, "Can I co over to your place later? There’s sothing I need to discuss."
"Of course!" Liu Ting expressed her delight, "I’ve been hoping you would co over and hang out at my place!"
"And Bai Xue. Shall we go?" said Zhen Yu, turning to speak to Bai Xue.
"Sure, let’s go! I’ve got nothing on, so I might as well join you two and check out Liu Ting’s place!" Bai Xue said in her carefree manner.
"Great! We have a swing set at ho; let’s play on it together later!" Liu Ting imdiately shared the most attractive feature of her ho.
"A swing set? I want to play! Let’s go quickly!" Bai Xue’s attention was instantly captured, and she beca the most enthusiastic one.
"We’re heading out! Tell my aunt not to wait for for lunch," Zhen Yu said to Han Mingyue before leaving.
Han Mingyue replied with a light smile, "Okay! Be safe."
Liu Ting chid in right after Han Mingyue’s response, "You two should co eat at my place at noon! I’ll ask my mom to make sothing delicious for both of you!"
The three of them gradually walked away, and all Han Mingyue could hear was Zhen Yu’s tactful refusal, "No, we need to leave before lunch..."
Han Mingyue shook her head, dispelling the questions from her mind, and turned to look for Han Jiayang.

"Mom?"
"Xiao Yu? Whose phone are you using? Why aren’t you calling from Han Family’s? Is it that..."
"Mom! Don’t overthink it! Everything is great at Han Family’s! I just have sothing I need to discuss with you."
"What’s there to discuss behind the backs of the Han Family?" Mrs. Zhen quickly understood her daughter’s intentions.
"Mom, I was thinking about the matter of transferring schools."
"What?" Mrs. Zhen was stunned, "Why are you suddenly thinking about transferring schools again? Are you uncomfortable staying at the Han Family’s? I knew it! That’s never as comfortable as one’s own ho!"
"Mom, it’s really not that! I just miss you so much that I decided to co over earlier!"
Mrs. Zhen was still sowhat skeptical, but she didn’t press her daughter further, "If that’s not it, then it’s good! I also want you to co back soon! But didn’t I tell you last ti? They don’t teach much in the second year of senior high at that place! Will you be able to keep up?"
"You don’t need to worry about that." Zhen Yu pursed her lips, "I’m thinking of handling the transfer as soon as the sumr vacation starts. Could... could you check how the process works?"
Mrs. Zhen detected a hint of doubt in her daughter’s voice, "Can you really keep up?"
"Sure! I’ve practically taught myself everything, and I still have two months of sumr vacation to review at ho!"
"Okay! Since you think there’s no problem, mom will go ask about it!"
Zhen Yu fell silent for a mont before finally making up her mind: "Go ahead and ask! I won’t be going to Qi City before the final exams. If there’s anything urgent, call . Otherwise, we can talk about it during the sumr vacation!"
"Alright! Mom’s going to hang up then!" Mrs. Zhen, getting the confirmation she needed to reunite with her daughter, was very happy and promptly ended the call.
All that was left in Zhen Yu’s ears was the dial tone. She took a deep breath and hung up the phone as well.
——
"Done?"
"Yeah!" Zhen Yu nodded, "Thanks, Liu Ting!"
"Hey! It was just a phone call! Co on, let’s go swing on the swings!"
Zhen Yu glanced at her watch and saw there was still ti before lunch, so she nodded in agreent.
Only one person can swing at a ti, so naturally, Zhen Yu didn’t fight with the two young girls for a turn and chatted casually with them instead.
"Liu Ting!" Qian Duoduo’s call first ca from outside the gate, and by the second call, she was already inside the yard, "Zhen Yu?!"
"Duoduo, you’re here!" Liu Ting, as the host, was the first to greet her.
"I initially wanted to ask you out to find Zhen Yu this afternoon! Now that’s settled! No need to search!"
"Looking for ?" Hearing this, Zhen Yu also walked over, "Is sothing up?"
"Sothing’s up." Qian Duoduo glanced at Bai Xue sitting on the swing; the two of them knew each other.
So, she waved her hand and greeted each other with a smile.
"Bai Xue."
"Ah, hi! You guys chat!"
Qian Duoduo pulled one with each hand, bringing the three of them closer. Then she whispered, "Zhen Yu, do you have ti this weekend to tutor us?"
"Tutoring?! Duoduo, why suddenly ask Zhen Yu for tutoring?"
Qian Duoduo didn’t answer Liu Ting. She wanted to hear what Zhen Yu had to say first.
Zhen Yu thought for a mont, "I do have ti, but your grades don’t need any tutoring."
After hearing that Zhen Yu had ti, Qian Duoduo whispered, "Lu Wei and I are thinking of skipping a grade. Could you include him when tutoring?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Ting teased, "Including him too! I see it’s all for him! That’s why you’re asking Zhen Yu for tutoring, isn’t it?!"
Qian Duoduo hadn’t intended to hide it; she was just beating around the bush. Now that Liu Ting had bluntly spilled it, her face turned bright red in an instant.
She swung her hand at her, "Stinky Liu Ting! Can’t you just not expose ?!"
"Hehehe..." Liu Ting dodged and laughed while they were playing around.
After horsing around for a while, both of them stopped and looked at Zhen Yu, waiting for her answer.
In just that brief mont, Zhen Yu had already found an aspect of Qian Duoduo’s plan to skip a grade that could be mutually beneficial.
"Tutoring is fine, and bringing him is fine too! But I also have a favor to ask of you, Duoduo."
"Ah? Speak up!" Qian Duoduo was only startled montarily.
"I can’t say it now." Zhen Yu shook her head, "Let’s first decide where we’ll do the tutoring!"
Qian Duoduo said hesitantly, "Lu Wei, at Lu Wei’s place..."
Liu Ting and Zhen Yu exchanged a glance and both said in unison, "Okay!"
