Zhen Yu imdiately thought of the partitions in the bathroom on the first floor of Sincere Internet Cafe! Carved with knives and covered with not only ads but also spray paint! Looking at the brand-new samples before her, she decisively said, "Build it with bricks! From floor to ceiling! And for the doors of each stall, just use hanging ones!"
"This! Wouldn’t that kind of installation look a bit ugly!" The contractor imagined the scene—thick walls and thin doors—and felt it was particularly uncoordinated.
Zhen Yu didn’t care at all!
"As long as it’s easy to clean! Besides, cover it all with white tiles and a white door, it won’t be too ugly!"
Zhang San also nodded and added, "Right! Tiles are the easiest to clean and very sturdy, they aren’t scared of water at all!"
"Since both of you agree, shall I just go ahead and do it as you’ve said?" The contractor confird again.
"Go ahead!" Zhen Yu nodded, then asked Zhang San, "Is there anything else I need to take care of? If not, we are going to leave!"
"Let think... Oh right!" With a hint from the contractor, Zhang San suddenly rembered there was still sothing to discuss! "You know, Old Wang has carpenters under him, and aren’t we still missing a bar? What do you think..."
Zhen Yu blinked, "A bar..."
Just when Old Wang and Zhang San thought it was going nowhere, Zhen Yu suddenly said, "The bar is missing shelves too! I’ll draw a sketch and send it over, build the bar and shelves just like in the drawing!"
"Sure! No problem!" The contractor imdiately responded loudly.
"And make so long benches! The kind that goes directly against the wall! Cover up all the gaps between the radiators!"
"Ah?! That’s a great idea!" Old Wang imdiately responded, "Not only does it save space, it also makes cleaning the floor easier! Indeed,"
Zhen Yu, after hearing his praise, quickly interrupted, "Okay! If there’s nothing else, we’re leaving now!"
Old Wang hurriedly said, "Let see you out..."
——
During Tomb-Sweeping Festival, rain pours incessantly, the travelers on the road are nearly soul-broken.
Whether others are soul-broken or not, Zhen Yu doesn’t know, but she almost had her soul drenched out.
The trip from Qi University back ho is neither long nor short! Halfway from the shop to ho, it suddenly began to rain, and it grew heavier and heavier, soaking the siblings to the core! By the ti they reached ho, they were both so cold that they were shivering!
"Little sister, go take a shower quick! Don’t catch a cold!" Zhen Yan urged his sister as soon as they reached upstairs.
Zhen Yu, however, said, "You go! You shower first, I need to shower hotter to chase away the chill."
Zhen Yan imdiately understood, "Alright! I’ll be quick, two minutes! You change into so dry clothes first!"
In just over a minute, Zhen Yan ca out of the bathroom. "Little sister, go shower quick, it’s still steamy inside! The water’s still heating!"
"Okay!" Zhen Yu glanced at her brother’s wet hair tips and quickly dashed into the bathroom.
After showering with hot water for a good while, Zhen Yu finally felt revived. As her body ward up, her mood improved significantly. Thinking of how miserably drenched they were in the rain, a song suddenly popped into Zhen Yu’s mind, "...Cold, icy rain slapping wildly against the face! Warm tears mixing with the cold rain! The colors before my eyes..."
Bang bang bang!
"Little sister? Are you calling ?" Zhen Yan asked loudly outside the bathroom door.
"No!" Zhen Yu raised her voice and answered, "I’m just singing!"
"...To be frozen into that bear color and still in the mood to sing!" Zhen Yan’s sarcastic comnt was sharp, but unfortunately, his voice was too soft and muffled by the door, so Zhen Yu did not hear it.
——
"How is it still snowing..." Zhen Yu muttered to herself, sitting on the bed hugging a blanket and looking at the snow outside the window.
Zhen Yan pushed the door open and handed a cup of brown sugar water to his sister, "Here! The brown sugar water you asked for!" When he looked up, he also saw the scene outside the window and couldn’t help but sigh, "Do you think if we had left later, we could have avoided getting soaked by the rain!?"
Zhen Yu sipped the hot brown sugar water and said without lifting her head, "We’re already soaked, what’s the use of saying that now?"
"You’re right! Oh! It’s better to be clever about when to leave!" Zhen Yan sighed.
He had just spoken thoughtlessly when the shout of Li Si’er ca from downstairs: "Zhen Yan! Zhen Yan! Soone is looking for you!"
Zhen Yan was extrely surprised!
"Who could co to see when it’s raining and snowing?"
Although Zhen Yuxin had so guesses, she still shook her head, "I don’t know."
"I’ll go take a look, you just keep yourself covered!" Zhen Yan said.
"Mm." Zhen Yu didn’t plan to move anyway, since no one had called for her.
She figured that it was probably soone from the Martial Arts Hall looking for Zhen Yan. After the precedent set by Cao Zhixin, Zhen Yu beca even more distant and disdainful towards unrelated people, rarely bothering with them! Unless it was Master Xu himself, she absolutely would not follow Zhen Yan downstairs to et the visitor!
Zhen Yan hadn’t even reached the bottom floor when he saw his own biological father. He was stopped by Li Si at the staircase on the first floor, his shoulders damp with what seed to be lting snowflakes.
Upon seeing his son, Zhen Halong imdiately shouted excitedly: "Zhen Yan!"
"Dad?!" Zhen Yan took large strides down to the first floor, asking in confusion, "What are you doing here?"
Zhen Halong countered with a question instead of answering, "Where are your mom and your sister?"
When Li Si’er saw Zhen Yan co down, he silently left the spot.
"...If there’s sothing, you can just tell ! I’m already an adult!" Zhen Yan hesitated only for a mont before saying so.
Their mother had not only remarried but was also showing signs of pregnancy, and his sister had just caught a chill—it would be best if she stayed tucked in her bed! No matter how he thought about it, Zhen Yan didn’t want his father disturbing them now!
"What good would telling you do!" Zhen Halong’s tone was laced with a tinge of disdain, "Are they upstairs? I’ll go find them!"
"Dad! Dad, you can’t go up!" Zhen Yan imdiately raised his hand to stop him.
Having just been stopped by Li Si’er and now by his own son, Zhen Halong beca instantly annoyed!
"What? I’m your father! Can’t I even go upstairs when I co to your house?!"
Zhen Yan responded without a second thought, "The first floor is also part of my house! Can’t you sit here? It’s eighty square ters!"
"You..." Zhen Halong was left speechless, but after a quick thought, he suddenly changed his tone!
"Son! Dad needs to talk to your mom and sister urgently! Why don’t you stop this nonsense here, alright?"
Zhen Yan blurted out, "What urgent matter do you have to say? Am I, a big man, less useful than the two of them, won?!"
Mr. Zhen imdiately thought in his mind, "Aren’t you really less useful than those two won!"
But he couldn’t say that openly! Otherwise, if he annoyed his son, who then went and whispered in the ears of his mother and sister, his own plans would completely fall through!
