CHAPTER 398: CHAPTER 397: TAKING A KNIFE FOR SOMEONE

"Mr. Fang, the head teacher in charge of our team has agreed! You and Han Mingyue just need to wait in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel after breakfast tomorrow!"

Mr. Fang smiled and said, "Hey! It looks like following Han Mingyue’s advice to stay at the Blue Sky Hotel was indeed the right choice! Lucky to have you here! Otherwise, if this heavy rain keeps pouring, it would have caused a lot of trouble for us!"

"Look at what you’re saying! We all come from Qi City, even if I wasn’t here, if you went to Director Sun, he would definitely help too!"

Mr. Fang said ambiguously, "Maybe! And this Director Sun’s full name is..."

"Sun Tiegang! It’s just ’Steel Iron’ reversed!"

"Oh? Just from the name, you can tell he’s a very principled person..."

——

The next morning, not only did the rain not stop, but it also got heavier.

Teacher Zhang frowned as she looked out the window, murmuring softly, "I was hoping to go out for a stroll today since there’s no competition! Now this is great..."

Although her voice was soft, Zhen Yu still heard it.

So, she asked an extra question: "Teacher Zhang, don’t you have an umbrella?"

"Yeah! I didn’t bring an umbrella!" Teacher Zhang answered helplessly.

"I have one here, you can use it!" Zhen Yu walked to her bed, pretending to take it out from her backpack while using her body to cover the action, then turned and handed it to Teacher Zhang.

Teacher Zhang didn’t take it, instead she asked: "With a rare free day, aren’t you going out?"

Zhen Yu shook her head, "I am watching the matches!"

A sudden realization flashed through Teacher Zhang’s mind, and with a smile, she accepted the umbrella, "Thank you!"

——

At breakfast, Director Sun repeated what he said yesterday. As a result, most of the students didn’t bring umbrellas! So the trip turned into a small benefit for a few.

None of this concerned Zhen Yu, who finished her breakfast seemingly slowly but quickly, and then quietly sat in her own seat waiting.

When everyone returned to the hotel, they saw Mr. Fang and Han Mingyue in the lobby on the first floor.

Zhen Yu, standing in the line, nodded and smiled at the two, but did not approach them at that moment.

Only when the bus arrived at the hotel entrance and Teacher Sun was directing the students participating in today’s competition to get on, did Zhen Yu break away from the line and walk over to them.

"Let’s go! Get on the bus!"

Han Mingyue looked at the other half of students and teachers who were standing still, "Those not participating in the competition don’t need to go today, right? But you,"

Zhen Yu gave him a reproachful look, "I’m going to watch your competition!"

Mr. Fang, the human light bulb, suddenly caught a whiff of something unusual and quickly coughed lightly, "Let’s go! Don’t make people anxious waiting!"

Zhen Yu pursed her lips and nodded, then turned around to head out first.

——

"Hey? Look quickly! Why did that kid get on our bus?"

"Lu Huai, Lu Huai! He got on the bus following Zhen Yu! Why don’t you go take a look too?"

"Not right! Zhen Yu doesn’t have a competition today, right? Why is she getting on the bus?"

"Who knows! Lu Huai! You really don’t care?"

Lu Huai was extremely annoyed!

"Are you guys not busy with your own stuff? What she does is none of my business! I’m not concerned at all!"

His brothers: "It’s over!!! Look at him, he’s so infuriated he’s talking nonsense!"

After exchanging glances, the resentful boy took the initiative to board the bus, ready to go through thick and thin for his brothers.

——

Because Mr. Fang was still there, Zhen Yu directly took the lead and walked towards the last row.

As soon as the three of them sat down at one end, more people started moving toward the back of the bus.

Zhen Yu was whispering with Han Mingyue all along and didn’t pay much attention to it.

So Kang Jian silently sat down next to Mr. Fang.

——

The angry boy searched around as soon as he boarded the bus! When he saw Zhen Yu and Han Mingyue talking head to head, he immediately glared at her viciously and walked toward the last row. But even as he approached, Zhen Yu remained indifferent. Thinking of how Lu Huai’s face twisted in anger just now, the boy finally couldn’t bear it and yelled, "Zhen Yu!"

The bus went suddenly quiet! The three in the back row were startled and looked up at him! Even Kang Jian, who had been watching the boy, was extremely surprised!

Although Zhen Yu recognized the angry boy, at this moment she just thought he was being ridiculous! So, she flat out ignored him, glancing once before lowering her head to continue the topic with Han Mingyue.

Knowing without looking back that everyone on the bus was watching him! The angry boy, with the keen feeling of being targeted, also realized his shout was too loud, and considering Director Sun was still on the bus, he lowered his voice and said, "Zhen Yu! Don’t go too far!"

This time, Zhen Yu didn’t even lift her head, treating his words as if they were a breeze past her ear.

Han Mingyue, somewhat worried, glanced at the boy and whispered, "Xiao Yu?"

Zhen Yu whispered back, clearly, "Don’t bother with him! We’ll talk after getting off."

Han Mingyue obediently responded, "Oh! Okay."

Because the bus had just been quiet, Zhen Yu’s voice, though soft, was still clearly heard by the students seated towards the back. Naturally, the angry boy heard it too, and he glared hatefully at the top of Zhen Yu’s head, then suddenly turned and snapped harshly at Kang Jian, "Move aside! I want to go in!"

Kang Jian certainly didn’t want to waste words with such a mindless person, so he immediately stood up and made way for him!

Just like that! While many front row two-seater spots on the bus were empty, the last row was now full...

——

"That’s what happened... I don’t know what that idiot Lu Huai is doing, he still hasn’t sorted things out to this moment!"

Taking advantage of the time before the competition started, the two stood in a corner of the venue, and Zhen Yu explained the incident with the boy to Han Mingyue.

Han Mingyue hesitated, although she had some doubts about Lu Huai, she still didn’t voice them.

What if she was wrong...

"So, if this issue isn’t cleared up,"

"It won’t happen!" Zhen Yu declared assertively.

Han Mingyue smiled helplessly, "How can you be so sure it won’t?"

Zhen Yu raised her fist, "After returning to Qi City, if Lu Huai still can’t handle it, I’ll hit him! Keep hitting him until he sorts it out!"

At this moment, Han Mingyue was so speechless she just wanted to facepalm.

Yet in the end, he sighed deeply and grabbed Zhen Yu’s tiny fist.

"Can you not always resort to hitting people?"

Even though Han Mingyue spoke gently, Zhen Yu still reacted with anger!

She felt that she was being disliked by Han Mingyue!

Just as Zhen Yu wanted to pull her fist away and leave, she heard Han Mingyue continue.

"Doesn’t your hand hurt?"

The suddenly charmed Zhen Yu: "..."

But before she could blush, Han Mingyue added another sentence! "You could totally let Zhen Yan do it!"

Zhen Yu twitched her mouth and silently thought: "This guy hasn’t just gone bad, he’s gotten way too bad!"
