Because Zhen Yu didn’t want to be hospitalized, Mr. Han picked up the dicine from the hospital, and together with Han Mingyue, they took a taxi to send her ho.
"You’ll definitely need to take a week off from school! I can co over every morning to give you the injection, and I’ll also teach you how to remove the needle later! As for als and living arrangents, we could ask your aunt to co and stay with you!"
"No need! I can handle it myself!" Zhen Yu strongly expressed her refusal!
After all, once bitten, twice shy! It wasn’t her first ti getting this kind of injury, and she naturally knew how to take care of herself! There really was no need to trouble the elders, especially since she knew that Mr. and Mrs. Han were busy preparing for the opening of a new branch and hiring staff, at a ti when they were short-handed!
"Can you really manage on your own?" Han Youliang questioned with a mix of belief and doubt.
Zhen Yu hastily assured him: "Really! I—"
"Xiao Yu!" Han Mingyue suddenly interrupted Zhen Yu’s words, "Dad! I’ll bring her als for breakfast, lunch, and dinner during this period! This way, Xiao Yu doesn’t need to go downstairs, and as long as she locks the door when she’s ho alone, there shouldn’t be any big issues!"
After hearing this, Han Youliang pondered for two seconds, then slowly nodded his head.
Seeing this, Zhen Yu imdiately expressed her happiness: "Okay! That works! And bring your daily notes as well!"
"Don’t give them to her!" Before Han Mingyue had a chance to refuse, Mr. Han preemptively objected: "You dare to study with a head injury! No matter how rushed, these few days won’t make a difference! Xiao Yu, you must heal properly and rest up, got it?!"
"...Got it."
——
Although it was Sunday, Mr. Han was still very busy! So after simply explaining to Zhen Yu how to remove the needle, he left alone.
Before leaving, Mr. Han also thoughtfully whispered to his son to talk more with Zhen Yu afterwards, to make sure she wouldn’t be left with any psychological shadows or the like...
Han Mingyue nodded his head in agreent to each instruction.
After seeing his father off to the doorway and watching his figure disappear around the stairwell corner, Han Mingyue quickly closed the security door and turned back toward Zhen Yu’s bedroom.
Because the injury was at the back of her head, Zhen Yu could only lie on the bed sideways, doing nothing.
Seeing Han Mingyue approaching the bed, Zhen Yu thought he was going to sit on the edge of the bed to chat with her for a bit!
So she asked, with a smile, a redundant question, "Has Uncle Han left?"
But Han Mingyue didn’t answer at all. Instead, he took off his shoes and got onto the bed! Then he scooped her up, along with the blanket, right into his arms!
"Ah,..." Zhen Yu let out half a cry of surprise and then fell silent.
She understood, his mood must be horrible today.
And truth be told, so was hers...
Hearing that Han Mingyue wasn’t speaking, Zhen Yu also didn’t feel like talking.
The entire bedroom was so quiet that the only sound was the ticking of the wall clock’s second hand.
Not long after, Zhen Yu gradually closed her eyelids...
Feeling the steady breathing of Zhen Yu by his ear, Han Mingyue knew she must have fallen asleep, and deeply so.
Yet, he couldn’t fall asleep at all!
After gently kissing Zhen Yu’s forehead, Han Mingyue let out an helpless sigh.
——
He never felt it before!
But after today’s incident, Han Mingyue couldn’t help but think more and more—was Zhen Yu’s life, by nature, more... fraught with hardship than everyone else’s?
Or perhaps she’s just less fortunate?!
As this thought surfaced in his mind, his childhood mories foggy mories beca as clear as day. It was as if Han Mingyue had an epiphany, and he suddenly rembered many things from his childhood!
At that ti, he often heard the elderly neighbors sitting at Fangshan chatting about the Zhen Family’s young girl! And every ti they ntioned her, they would only talk about Zhen Yu’s birthday!
The old n and won would drone on and on with the sa few clichéd phrases!
"Boys should fear the first year of junior high, girls should fear fifteen! This date is no good!"
"Exactly! Not only was she born on the fifteenth, but in July too! Her life is destined to be fraught with hardship!"
"She is one to supersede her parents and has shallow marital fate! She’s surely going to have a hard ti finding soone to marry when she grows up!"
Is it really so? Is everything she’s experienced over the years just because she was born on an inauspicious day?!
Han Mingyue felt her scientific worldview greatly shaken! And yet, her base of strange knowledge had sowhat increased...
Even if it really was so, what of it!!
He who was born on the robust date of August the fifteenth, is willing to share all the hardships of her birthright, and give her half of his own good fortune!
And there’s that whatever nonsense about ’shallow marital fate and difficulty getting married’!
He swears! He will surely make her the first among everyone he knows to get married!
He certainly will!
And he will surely grow old with her!
Most definitely!!
And so, with Zhen Yu completely unaware even though she was present, Han Mingyue tightened his arms around her waist and made one solemn vow after another in his heart.
——
Zhen Yu slept particularly deeply this ti!
So much so that when she woke up and opened her eyes, she still thought she was in a dream.
"Han Mingyue... so nice!"
Zhen Yu murmured as she closed her eyes and gently rubbed her nose against Han Mingyue’s chin. "I thought I would have nightmares and dream of that scumbag... but I dread of you instead!"
Han Mingyue actually followed Zhen Yu to sleep! But he was a light sleeper, so as soon as Zhen Yu moved, he imdiately awoke!
"Are you happy dreaming about ?!"
Noticing that Zhen Yu seed not very lucid at the mont, Han Mingyue deliberately asked another question.
In his view, even if she was not fully awake, the most Zhen Yu could co up with would be a ’happy’ at best!
But...
"Hehehe... extrely happy! You have no idea how hard it is for to dream about you once! It’s been so tough..."
Zhen Yu, caught between sleep and wakefulness, suddenly blurted out her grievances from her past life!
To Han Mingyue’s surprise, he couldn’t help but find it sowhat amusing, so he teased Zhen Yu again: "Haven’t you heard that you dream at night what you think about during the day? This ans you have not thought much about during the day!"
"How could I not have thought of you! I’ve clearly missed you so much! Every day I miss you a lot." Zhen Yu, sleepy-eyed and suddenly challenged, abruptly stretched out both hands and tightly wrapped them around Han Mingyue’s neck!
In a dream anyway! What words could she not dare to say? What things could she not dare to do?!
"Han Mingyue~ I really like you! I like you so very much! No matter what you turn into, you’re the one I like best!"
"!"
Han Mingyue opened his mouth in astonishnt!
He never expected a few joking words to elicit such a frank and passionate confession from Zhen Yu!
Suddenly, joy had descended...
