CHAPTER 262: CHAPTER 261: HE GOT IT WRONG

"Maybe it’s those girls in his class causing some kind of trouble that pissed him off! That’s why Han Jiaoyang had no idea." Holding onto that thought, Zhen Yu was glared at but didn’t say anything, and buried her head even lower.

I’ll endure! She usually tried her best to give way to Han Mingyue, and seeing that he was obviously in a bad mood now, she was even less likely to argue with him.

---

But upon seeing this, Han Mingyue felt even more that she must be feeling guilty and ashamed, which is why she lowered her head and didn’t dare to meet his gaze!

With this in mind, he became even angrier!

She was clearly so sick at noon, and even if she got a drip, she couldn’t have recovered that quickly! And then she came to pick him up after school...

"Sick and still has the leisure to sing songs for others to hear! That male doctor looked so glib! Isn’t she afraid of being deceived!"

The more Han Mingyue thought about it, the more angry and aggrieved he felt.

"Just now, that song—he had never heard her sing it before! And she told others that he was her brother! Who’s her brother!"

The male dentist had mistaken them for siblings because of Han Mingyue’s words ’take her home.’

Unable to remain calm, Han Mingyue, however, dumped the blame of ’brother’ onto Zhen Yu in his mind...

After blaming her, his mood got even worse...

---

After returning home, Mr. and Mrs. Han had already finished preparing the dinner.

Mrs. Han had specially made porridge for Zhen Yu; although it wasn’t millet porridge, having rice porridge was also very good.

After dinner, the whole family gathered around the sofa.

Mr. Han asked about the cause of the illness, and Zhen Yu merely said she caught a cold.

Considering that Zhen Yu was a girl and might have a weaker stomach, Mr. Han turned to ask about symptoms, "Did you vomit or have diarrhea this afternoon?"

"Uh-huh." Zhen Yu nodded.

"It’s best to get another injection tomorrow morning to consolidate, I didn’t bring any medicine back, you should still go to the clinic you went to today!"

Han Mingyue immediately darkened upon hearing this sentence! Without uttering a word, he turned and went to the bedroom he shared with his brother.

As soon as he left, Han Jiaoyang, as if electrocuted, got up and immediately followed.

He got to do homework with his brother!

---

The sudden departure of the two sons made Mr. and Mrs. Han think they were just impatient with all this talk, so they didn’t take it to heart.

Zhen Yu dutifully agreed to the morning drip session for the next day and then returned to her room.

She missed an afternoon of classes and wasn’t sure about the homework. Zhen Yu thought for a moment, took her book, and went to Han Jiaoyang’s room, planning to ask Han Mingyue.

Knock knock—

Hearing the knock, Han Jiaoyang looked up at Han Mingyue, "Bro, hurry up and open the door! It might be Zhen Yu!"

Han Mingyue pondered for a moment, then suddenly began to pack up his backpack.

Han Jiaoyang was puzzled, "Huh? You’re not opening the door and instead packing your bag; what for?"

Han Mingyue ignored his brother, grabbed his backpack, and went straight out the door.

Han Jiaoyang being left behind closed in the room: "... With a love interest, one forgets his kin!"

---

"Let’s go! To your room!" Han Mingyue said to Zhen Yu in a manner that didn’t allow for refusal.

Zhen Yu silently lifted her head, looking at the boy nearly a head taller than her in front of her, and without asking anything, she turned around.

As soon as they returned to Zhen Yu’s current room, Han Mingyue pulled over a chair to sit down and then said, "You were looking for me?"

Zhen Yu nodded, "Um. Today’s homework,"

Han Mingyue fell silent for a moment, then all of a sudden tossed his backpack onto the table, "Look at it yourself!"

"..." Zhen Yu’s temple vein twitched.

You brat! I was just humoring you because you were in a bad mood; don’t think I won’t hit you, okay!

"Huff... I’ll endure! If looking by myself, then I’ll look by myself!" Zhen Yu took a deep breath, sat down, pulled over the backpack, and started searching on her own.

Han Mingyue’s books were all neatly marked, and Zhen Yu only had to check against the timetable and flip through them one by one—it didn’t take long for her to find out what the homework was.

"Are you going to write it? If not, I’m going to." Zhen Yu placed her textbook on the table and was about to start writing when she asked.

"Write!" Han Mingyue squeezed out a word through clenched teeth.

And so, the two of them bent over their work, not disturbing each other.

——

The clock on the bookshelf kept ticking away, and time was gradually passing.

When Zhen Yu put down her pen, Han Mingyue had already packed up and was sitting aside, watching her.

"Done?"

"Uh-huh."

"Zhen Yu..."

Han Mingyue rarely called her by her full name. Zhen Yu immediately sat up straight, eager to know what important thing he had to tell her.

Like who made him angry at school that afternoon...

But after calling her name, Han Mingyue said nothing and simply took out a small tape recorder from his schoolbag and pushed it towards Zhen Yu.

"??" Zhen Yu looked at him, puzzled.

Han Mingyue spoke somewhat awkwardly: "Record that song from this afternoon!"

"Oh!" Zhen Yu took the tape recorder in her hand, opened it to check, and inside was an empty cassette tape.

Zhen Yu casually closed the recorder and put it aside, continuing to look at Han Mingyue with questioning eyes, "And then what?"

Han Mingyue bit his back teeth and said: "Record it now!"

Zhen Yu was taken aback, then suddenly became shy, her face slowly heating up. "Umm, let’s not. I’ll record it and bring it to you later."

Singing a song alone for Han Mingyue to listen to!! Just the thought of that scenario made her flush with embarrassment!

Zhen Yu just couldn’t bring herself to do it...

"Why can’t you record it now?!" Han Mingyue frowned.

She could sing alone for that male doctor! Why can’t she do the same for him now?!

How could Zhen Yu possibly tell him that she was embarrassed!

So she had no choice but to say: "No reason! If there’s nothing else, you should hurry back!"

To Han Mingyue, this sounded like she was annoyed with him and wanted him to leave.

"Is she starting to get tired of me?" Han Mingyue’s hand resting on his trousers slowly clenched, and he suddenly stood up, grabbed his schoolbag and left.

From beginning to end, Zhen Yu had no idea that Han Mingyue was angry with her!

When he left, Zhen Yu was too embarrassed to look up, and so she missed the expression on his face.

She also didn’t realize that Han Mingyue had misunderstood...

——

The next morning, when returning the recorder with the song to Han Mingyue, Zhen Yu felt that he was somehow different from usual.

But upon closer inspection, she felt as if he hadn’t changed at all.

As soon as school started in the afternoon, Zhen Yu went to seek advice from Bai Xue.

"Bai Xue, what are you afraid of?"

"Me?" Bai Xue pointed to herself, "I’m afraid of bugs! Why do you ask?"

"For revenge!" Zhen Yu pinched her nose, "Apart from bugs, what else are you afraid of?"

"Hey! Revenge doesn’t need to be such a hassle!" Bai Xue realized suddenly and whispered into Zhen Yu’s ear: "Listen to me, we do this..."

"Will that work?" Zhen Yu skeptically asked.

"Just try it and you’ll know!" Bai Xue smiled slyly, "This is what I learned from Fu... Ah! That thing! I learned it from someone else!"

"I should bring it up! No problem!" Zhen Yu smiled, "Don’t act like it’s a taboo! It makes me look so petty!"

"So, mentioning him doesn’t make you mad?"

Zhen Yu shook her head, "Why should I get mad if he doesn’t provoke me!"

"Heh... that’s good then..."
