After saying those words, Mrs. Han got up and left.
The living room was then left with only Han Mingyue, who sat on the sofa, deep in thought.
He understood what his mother wanted to convey and did indeed take her words to heart, but this did not an that he fully agreed with what she had said!
The reason for Han Mingyue not ntioning the promise over calls and texts to Zhen Yu initially was that he didn’t quite know how to start the conversation!
It’s often said that the more you care, the more cautious you are! At that ti, he was really afraid that a miscommunication would lead to a misunderstanding by Zhen Yu...
Thus, after delaying it for a few days once he figured out what to say, Han Mingyue simply didn’t want to tell Zhen Yu anymore!
Perhaps, there was a bit of pride playing tricks inside him...
And so, the matter got delayed until now!
During his youthful vigor, Han Mingyue was able to hold back from initiating a eting or directly inviting Zhen Yu to his house for so long, which was indeed quite steady of him.
However, Bai Xue’s tily arrival stimulated him a bit! Thus, even soone as mature as Han Mingyue couldn’t hold back anymore...
After sitting on the sofa for a long while, Han Mingyue finally made a decision! If Zhen Yu didn’t co to see him tomorrow night, then the day after tomorrow, right after he wakes up, he would definitely call her first thing!
To personally tell her that he missed her! He wanted to see her imdiately...
—
Han Mingyue had planned it well and was also prepared for the high likelihood that Zhen Yu might not take the initiative to see him.
Yet, Zhen Yu didn’t get angry with him as he imagined nor did she act pretentiously!
That evening, after she returned from the park, she first took Qian Duoduo and Liu Ting to a snack shop near First High School to have so ready-made dinner, then headed ho.
Unexpectedly, just as she arrived downstairs at her building, she saw Bai Xue who had been waiting there with her brother...
Bai Xue hesitated for a mont upon seeing so many people — unsure whether to bring up Han Mingyue in front of the other two.
But Zhen Yu directly asked: "Did you go see Han Mingyue yesterday? What did he say?"
Zhen Yu did not mince her words, and Bai Xue soon caught on! For the other two, this was likely no secret anymore! Thus, she spoke straightforwardly in front of the three of them.
After hearing what Bai Xue relayed, Zhen Yu didn’t think twice and imdiately shoved her ho keys into Qian Duoduo’s hands, telling her to open the door herself!
Then she hurriedly pulled Bai Xue and her brother away.
Zhen Yu’s eager deanor made Liu Ting shake her head! She smiled while shaking it and repeatedly exclaid loudly to Qian Duoduo: "Zhen Yu really is the type with ’love over friends’! Look at this! It’s blatantly favoring her romantic interest over friends! I used to wonder how such people existed when I first heard this phrase! I didn’t expect I’d actually witness it today! Zhen Yu, this guy, haha..."
Qian Duoduo had no comnt on this, or perhaps for her, at the mont, she preferred not to engage in any topics related to love.
After Liu Ting talked for a while and found it aningless, she gradually stopped talking too.
Thus, after they went upstairs and entered the apartnt, the two freshened up briefly and then sat on the sofa together, watching TV while waiting for Zhen Yu.
On the other side, Zhen Yu barely ran far while pulling Bai Xue before she was shaken off!
"Ugh! What are you pulling for? My little brother can’t even keep up with us!" Bai Xue first complained, and then added, "Besides, you’re going to look for Han Mingyue, I’m not going! Why did you drag along?! I need to take my brother ho!"
"Uh!" Zhen Yu only then realized, and imdiately felt extrely embarrassed!
"Oh! I forgot!"
Bai Xue was preoccupied with the thought of her mother being alone at ho and didn’t pay much attention to Zhen Yu’s expression or reaction. She just said, "Fine, fine! If you’re in such a hurry, go ahead! My brother and I are heading ho!"
"Oh! Okay!" Although Zhen Yu agreed, she didn’t move.
Bai Xue didn’t bother with her and imdiately walked away with her brother.
After watching the siblings walk away for a while, Zhen Yu finally managed to calm her frantic mind.
She then followed behind Bai Xue and Bai Yong towards the gate of the community. It was only after she left her own community that Zhen Yu finally took a deep breath, fixed her route, and headed towards the direction of Han Mingyue’s new address.
Zhen Yu didn’t walk fast because she had only been to Han Mingyue’s new address twice!
Once just after his family moved, and once shortly before Zhen Yan’s college entrance examination.
Along the way, she stopped frequently, carefully recognizing the surrounding buildings, fearing that she might miss a side road.
Sure enough, what she feared ca true! As she walked, Zhen Yu realized she was lost...
It wasn’t that she couldn’t find her way back ho, but that she couldn’t find—the way to Han Mingyue’s house.
—
No choice! Given this situation, Zhen Yu could only seek help through a phone call.
Pulling out her cell phone, she dialed Han Mingyue’s number. The ’beep beep’ from the receiver only sounded twice before soone picked up!
There was a hint of slight nervousness in Han Mingyue’s voice,, "Hello! Xiao Yu! You,"
"Listen to first!"
At this mont, Zhen Yu just wanted to see him quickly; she had no interest in chatting on the phone! So, she imdiately interrupted him and directly said: "I can’t find your house! Can you co out and et ?"
"Huh? Where are you?!" Han Mingyue was first stunned, then shocked! Fearing that Zhen Yu might have gotten herself lost!
"Here, there’s a Lele Billiards Hall, and a Jinhai Hardware and Sundries store,"
"Which street are you closer to? Can you find a place we both know and wait for there?"
"Close... near Zhonghua Road! I just walked past a kindergarten that seed like the one we walked past last ti! I ntioned it then,"
"I know! Head towards the kindergarten now!" Han Mingyue didn’t let Zhen Yu continue speaking and instructed her, "Once you reach the entrance of the kindergarten, don’t wander off! Wait there! I’m coming to find you now!"
"Oh, okay!" As Zhen Yu agreed, she turned around and retraced the path she had followed coming in.
"Let’s hang up the phone for now! Give a call when you get to the kindergarten entrance and tell if it’s Zhongtian Kindergarten!"
"It seems there was a character ’Zhong’, but whether it’s Zhongtian I really don’t know..."
