"I like you, but it has nothing to do with you..."
Gu Qing repeated the sentence once more, and in the darkness, it seed as though she had an epiphany.
Seeing this, Zhen Yu tactfully closed her mouth and said no more.
After all, she had said everything that could be said! Whether to listen or not, and whether it could be understood, was all up to Gu Qing now.
After a while, with a sense of release in her voice, Gu Qing smiled at Zhen Yu, "Thank you, Zhen Yu."
Zhen Yu didn’t say anything, just smiled and watched Gu Qing.
"It’s getting late, I’m going back to sleep," said Gu Qing as she got out of bed.
Zhen Yu sat on the bed without moving and simply said, "Goodnight, rember to close the door for ."
"Okay."
——
"Little sis, what are we doing today?" Zhen Yan asked while eating porridge.
Zhen Yu replied irritably, "Do whatever you want!"
"What do you an?" Zhen Yan sensed sothing was off in his sister’s words.
Unfortunately! No matter how many tis he asked, Zhen Yu refused to engage in conversation with him.
Not long after the al, Han Mingyue and Han Jiayang arrived.
As the brothers just appeared on the second floor, Zhen Yu quickly got up, grabbed her down jacket, and started heading out of the bedroom while putting it on.
Zhen Yan also imdiately stood up following his sister’s actions, "Hey? Little sis, where are you going?!"
"Don’t follow !" Zhen Yu said without looking back.
"!" Zhen Yan paused in his tracks, then quickly retorted, "That won’t do! I must,"
"Shut up!" Zhen Yu suddenly turned and hissed, "I’m telling you one last ti, don’t! follow! us!"
Zhen Yu’s tone was cold as ice, and Zhen Yan instantly realized that his sister was truly angry with him.
The thought of being a third wheel for another day imdiately faded by half. After hesitating only a few seconds, Zhen Yu disappeared with Han Mingyue at the top of the stairs.
Nevermind! Pursuit ca first! With that thought in mind, Zhen Yan lifted his foot to chase after them!
But just as he got to the staircase, Han Jiayang, who had been standing there, blocked his way.
"Hey! Get out of my way!" Zhen Yan said fiercely.
At critical monts, it really showed how close or distant they were! And by the looks of it, the three had obviously planned this in advance!
"It’s impossible for to move!" Han Jiayang spread his arms, completely blocking the stairs!
"If you really dare to follow, Zhen Yu will definitely beat you up rcilessly!"
"...I’m not afraid of her!" Zhen Yan said with feigned bravado.
In front of the onlooking Gu Qing, he couldn’t admit he was afraid of his little sister! So, he had no choice but to forcefully maintain his pride.
"Yes! You’re not afraid of her!" Han Jiayang played along with Zhen Yan, then quickly changed his tune: "But I’m afraid! If I can’t stop you, she’ll definitely beat up rcilessly! You wouldn’t have the heart to watch get hit by her, right?!"
Zhen Yan: "...Forget it!"
Even though he knew Han Jiayang was lying, Zhen Yan had no choice but to step down gracefully, feeling terribly stifled!
After this delay, Zhen Yu and Han Mingyue had long since disappeared.
He had no idea where to look for them! So, what else could he do? That’s why he felt helpless...
——
In the taxi.
The car started moving, and Zhen Yu finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Then she sprawled out on the backseat, "I finally got rid of him!"
Han Mingyue could relate, but it wasn’t convenient for him to say so. So he just smiled and changed the subject.
"Why the sudden thought to go to the library?"
"So books are hard to find to buy, so I need to go to the library to see if I can borrow them."
What Zhen Yu said was indeed true, but it wasn’t the real reason she chose this ti to go to the library.
She chose today because... Zhen Yan was really too much!
Han Mingyue could only stay in Qi City for two days! And yesterday, Zhen Yan stuck to her like glue all day long!
Obviously! On this second day, Zhen Yan didn’t plan to ’let her off’ either!
So Zhen Yu had no choice but to act first!
Last night at the guest house just before saying goodbye, she made a last-minute arrangent with Han Mingyue to go to the library today.
Han Mingyue was curious, "What book is so hard to buy?"
"Korean and Japanese Introduction books."
"You’re self-studying? Korean should be pretty similar to Korean language, right?!" Han Mingyue was uncertain.
"Hm!" Zhen Yu nodded first, and then, as if realizing sothing afterwards, asked, "Why did you suddenly bring up the Korean language?"
"I know a little."
"Hm? How do you know Korean?" Now it was Zhen Yu’s turn to be curious.
"My grandma is Korean," Han Mingyue revealed a fact unknown to Zhen Yu in her previous life, "You know there’s a Korean settlent near Laha, right? My grandma was born there and only ca to Laha Town after she married my grandpa!"
"Is that so! Does Aunt Han speak Korean?"
Han Mingyue nodded, "Yes, and my mom speaks it better than my brother and ."
An idea flashed in Zhen Yu’s mind, "Why don’t you study Korean with ? Since you already know Korean, you’ll definitely learn it fast and well! Then I’ll wait for you to teach !"
Facing the smile of his crush, Han Mingyue couldn’t muster the thought of refusal and could only smile and nod, saying, "Okay!"
——
Perhaps it was the long winter break, but with the students having ti to kill, Qi City library was full of parents with children.
It was Zhen Yu’s first ti coming here in this life and her previous one, and after so searching, she finally found the counter to apply for a library card.
With their new student library cards, Zhen Yu and Han Mingyue began to look for foreign language books with a purpose.
A city’s library naturally excels at categorizing books, so the ti they spent looking wasn’t even as much as the ti it took to walk there, quickly arriving at their destination.
"There’s so many! How do we choose?!"
Zhen Yu muttered softly to herself, overwheld by the dense array of Korean textbooks on the shelf.
"Let see." Han Mingyue reached for a "Korean" book, beginning from the table of contents.
Zhen Yu leaned in closer, joining Han Mingyue in looking at the book, and whispered softly, "What do you think?"
Han Mingyue’s attention had already drifted away from the book, oblivious to her question.
His gaze, which had been on the book, was partly obscured by Zhen Yu’s hair, and his nostrils were filled with the scent of beer shampoo. The scent arose from her hair, light and pleasant. For a mont, it caused his heart to race, and involuntarily, he lowered his head further, closing his eyes and moving closer to her with the intention of softly sniffing a flower.
Zhen Yu quickly scanned the pages and noticed that Han Mingyue was not turning the pages, so she couldn’t help but turn her head to look at him.
This movent from Zhen Yu took Han Mingyue by surprise, and he imdiately opened his eyes! He didn’t even dare to breathe!
Zhen Yu’s slightly protruding little ear, as she turned her head, suddenly touched Han Mingyue’s lips, making her feel a tickle all the way down her spine as he breathed.
Zhen Yu: "..."
