Mrs. Bai’s eyes flashed with a warm smile as she raised her hand to touch her daughter’s beautiful cheek, "Xue’er! Mom knows you are a good girl. But people in big cities have complicated minds, and you are so beautiful! Mom is just worried, ah! Still, rember what I’ve always told you! Don’t leave the school if there’s nothing urgent, and spend more ti with Zhen Yu, do you hear ?!"
"I heard you!" Bai Xue promised earnestly.
Since Bai Xue and Zhen Yu were both in the hospital, Mrs. Fu took this rare opportunity to go back to her own ho.
However, when she ca back to the hospital, there were two extra "tails" following her.
A big and a small boy followed her into the ward, and it was Bai Yong who spoke first! He rushed like an arrow into his sister’s arms, then started to cry loudly while hugging Bai Xue: "Sis! Sis, you are finally back! Our mom, our mom’s leg! Wuu..."
"It’s okay! Don’t worry, brother! Your sister is here!" Bai Xue hugged her waist-high brother, her voice choked but extrely firm.
Zhen Yu had actually seen Fu Yu following behind Bai Yong, but she had been fixated on the sibling pair in front of her and hadn’t spoken.
Fu Yu’s steps had paused for a mont upon entering the door, but in the end, he still walked over to Zhen Yu to greet her.
"... Xiao Yu, you’re back."
There is a saying, you do not hit a smiling face with your hand, and besides, Zhen Yu and Fu Yu had no actual enmity, so after she turned her head to look at him, she responded directly: "Yeah, long ti no see."
After this brief exchange, they both fell silent again.
Seeing her own son and Zhen Yu like this, Mrs. Fu suddenly spoke up to make arrangents: "Okay, okay! You siblings stop crying now! Xiao Xue and Xiao Yu must have taken leave from school, right?! Since the three of you from your family are here today, we three will step out for a while, giving you mother and daughters so space to talk in private! Let’s go..."
——
With Mrs. Fu saying that, Zhen Yu naturally couldn’t overstay her welco in the ward, so she had no choice but to follow Mrs. Fu and her son out!
As soon as the three of them reached the corridor, Mrs. Fu said, "I need to keep an eye on the door! In case anything happens, Xiao Xue and Xiao Yong definitely won’t know what to do!"
Zhen Yu nodded and was just about to say she would wait at the door as well, when Mrs. Fu added, "Sigh! It’s almost ti for dinner! You must be hungry, right Xiao Yu? I can’t go ho to cook, it looks like we have to eat out again tonight!"
"But looking at Xiao Xue’s condition, she probably won’t go out for dinner!"
Zhen Yu silently nodded again.
It was clear that Bai Xue didn’t want to leave the ward, not just for dinner, but she would probably insist on staying here even to sleep tonight!
"So, Xiao Yu! Would you mind joining Fu Yu to buy so dinner? He can’t carry it all by himself for six people!"
After hearing the previous part from Mrs. Fu, Zhen Yu anticipated what was to follow!
So after hearing this, she just blinked her eyes and nodded for the third ti: "Okay."
Sure that Zhen Yu would not refuse, Mrs. Fu imdiately pulled her hand out of her pocket, "Son, take the money! Other than what your aunt is allergic to, just buy whatever for the rest of us! And don’t forget to ask Xiao Yu what she wants to eat! Hurry up!"
"Got it!" Fu Yu took the money while responding and then turned around without a word, leading the way toward the staircase.
Seeing this, Zhen Yu tugged the corner of her mouth but still politely said to Mrs. Fu, "Then I’ll go too, Aunt Fu!"
"Yeah! Go ahead! Tell Fu Yu whatever you want to eat!" Mrs. Fu waved her hand and said.
——
As soon as she reached the ground floor lobby, Zhen Yu found Fu Yu, who had previously been out of sight, waiting for her on the steps outside the hospital building.
After nearly two years apart, and an unpleasant departure at that, so estrangent and awkwardness between the two was inevitable.
Despite knowing that her brother had always been in contact with Fu Yu, they were them, and she was she!
So... "Sigh."
After a soft sigh, Zhen Yu resigned herself to approach him and asked in a matter-of-fact tone, "Where are we going to buy food?"
Fu Yu, however, stood still and suddenly replied with sothing unrelated, "Zhen Yu! Let’s make up!"
Zhen Yu was stunned upon hearing this!
Make up? Make up what? Is this word even appropriate to use between her and him?
Is he... is he suggesting that they go back to being the kind of male and female friends they were when they first entered junior high?!
Although, across two lifetis, she’s only dated Han Mingyue once! But... she had indeed read plenty of short essays on various topics on the internet!!
Like "Can two people who have broken up beco friends again?", or "Can n and won really maintain a pure friendship?", oh right! There’s also the one that fits the current situation the most!
"Can you be friends with soone who has pursued you before?"...
Can you? Zhen Yu’s answer back then was a resounding no to all!!!
Yet, when she actually faced such a situation, despite still feeling it was impossible, Zhen Yu found it inconvenient and too direct to outright refuse to be friends!
So, after a long ti (rely a minute) of contemplation, Zhen Yu made full use of her strengths in writing and crafted a set of answers as standard as those in textbooks.
"Let’s not bring up the past! After all, we all grew up together, I wouldn’t go so far as to disown soone I know. However, we’re not related by blood! And there’s a difference between n and won! So if you have any problems in the future, you should still go directly to Zhen Yan! Because I think, interactions between the sexes must maintain a proper distance to avoid misunderstandings! Don’t you agree?"
——
Zhen Yu neither agreed to make up nor disagreed, but she clarified her stance with this speech.
Such an ’answer not matching the question’ caused Fu Yu to silently stare at her for quite a while.
It wasn’t until Zhen Yu’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, revealing a touch of impatience, that Fu Yu imdiately bead a big smile and warmly called out to her, "Let’s go! Let’s buy food! Xiao Yu, what do you want to eat? I’ll get it for you!"
Zhen Yu was uncomfortable with his sudden shift from utter silence to extre joy, but she still tried to keep her composure.
"I’m not picky! Let’s first see what Mrs. Fu and Bai Yong can eat! After all, one is sick, and the other is a child."
"Right! Xiao Yong can’t eat spicy food! So, shall we..."
"Anything is fine!"
On the way there, Fu Yu beca like five hundred ducks, ceaselessly babbly by Zhen Yu’s ear.
He asked about entertainnt and leisure once, about clothing, food, housing, and transportation once, about relationships and studies once...
