CHAPTER 416: CHAPTER 415: THE PEACOCK SPREADS ITS FEATHERS

Since Zhen Yu had already spoken, Han Mingyue naturally continued with the flow.

"Xiao Yu, can I talk now?"

Zhen Yu was speechless.

She glanced subtly at her wrist, forcefully suppressing the thought of pulling away from his grasp and answered, "...Haven’t I already spoken?"

"Heh! That’s true!" Han Mingyue chuckled lightly.

After hesitating while staring at the ground for a while, he turned to Zhen Yu and asked, "Can I ask you something?"

Zhen Yu steadied her emotions, daring not to look at him but pretended to be indifferent, "Ask away!"

The last time Han Mingyue asked her a question so seriously, it was to confirm their romantic relationship.

Zhen Yu thought, this time Han Mingyue must be asking her something systematic!

But she had already prepared to use the strategy of ’dragging it out,’ only to be caught off guard by Han Mingyue suddenly leaning forward! He whispered close to her ear, "Do you dislike me talking to you like this?"

"!" Suddenly startled, Zhen Yu’s limbs went numb, and her mouth slightly opened; she couldn’t utter a word for a long time. With her chest halfway out of breath, the only thought cycling through her head was—Do you dislike it?

No, like it...

Han Mingyue is still just a youth! Seeing his usually clever and nimble girlfriend suddenly become silly and dumbfounded, he couldn’t help but feel playful! A hint of a mischievous smile appeared on his face, and then he suddenly blew a breath into Zhen Yu’s ear. "Hoo..."

Zhen Yu dodged instantly!

Then she immediately became annoyed and angered!

"Ugh!" With that groan, Han Mingyue was directly suppressed face-up on the bed by Zhen Yu using her elbow as a pivot and her entire body’s strength!

That wasn’t all! Right after, she shouted, "Han Mingyue!"

Han Mingyue looked up at Zhen Yu, not saying a word. Whether it was because his eyes were water-filled from just being hit by her elbow, he looked incredibly innocent!

Zhen Yu: "..."

If it weren’t for the fact that she was still holding his wrist tightly in her hand, she would have almost believed him!

Facing such an innocent face, Zhen Yu gritted her teeth but still retracted some of her anger, "Let go!"

"I won’t." Han Mingyue’s tone was not heavy, but it was firm!

"Let go... Ah!" Suddenly, Han Mingyue pulled Zhen Yu’s arm over his head, and Zhen Yu, losing her support, smashed her face right into Han Mingyue’s chest! Her nose suddenly felt sore!

With her right arm controlled and unable to exert strength, Zhen Yu tried to support herself on the bed with her left hand.

However, Han Mingyue moved again; he quickly and accurately grabbed Zhen Yu’s left wrist and straightened it sideways!

Zhen Yu panicked inside! All sorts of thoughts ran back and forth in her mind like a herd of alpacas!

Fortunately, Han Mingyue was only holding her and didn’t want her to get up, and didn’t do anything inappropriate.

After an eerie silence in the room for more than ten seconds, Han Mingyue finally shifted his gaze from the dark hair spread across his chest and looked at the ceiling, "Xiao Yu! You haven’t yet answered my question from earlier!"

By this time, Zhen Yu, turning her face to the side and resting it on Han Mingyue’s chest: "..."

Han Mingyue, knowing full well Zhen Yu wouldn’t possibly speak: "If you don’t answer, I’ll take it as you agree."

Zhen Yu, not wanting to agree but being forced to: "..."

Han Mingyue’s chest vibrated several times, and Zhen Yu guessed he must be silently laughing! She couldn’t help but feel her teeth itch with irritation, yet she could do nothing about it...

"Xiao Yu... I kind of want to know..." Han Mingyue’s eyes shimmered as he hesitated to ask something somewhat embarrassing, and his own cheeks flushed red. "Do you like me because you like my voice, or, or do you actually just prefer that kind of voice?"

—

Zhen Yu sat on the bed with her face red and her heart pounding, feeling silly!

Even now she couldn’t believe it! She had actually answered Han Mingyue! Such a... foolish question, and she had actually answered it! Answered it...

No wonder people in the past always said that women in love have a zero IQ! She had just perfectly illustrated that saying! All because Han Mingyue promised her, as long as she was willing to honestly answer his question, he would let her be and give her some time alone!

How embarrassing... She had lost face all the way to grandma’s house! Suddenly, Zhen Yu raised her hands to cover her face, partly to cool down and partly... because she felt ashamed to show her face!

On the first day of ’living together’, Zhen Yu began to regret having suggested to Han Mingyue that the four of them live together over the summer vacation!

—

On the other side, Han Mingyue, who walked straight into his younger brother’s room, wore a full smile! Han Jiayang called out to him several times, but Han Mingyue was lost in thought!

Han Jiayang saw his brother walk to the bed like someone possessed, flop down in a starfish pose, and then just start laughing silly! Occasionally, he would burst out laughing.

"Ah! It’s over! Done! My brother will definitely end up with bronchitis..." Han Jiayang shook his head and sighed, "He’s already so smitten he’s become the landlord’s foolish son!"

The reason Han Mingyue didn’t hear what his brother said was that he was fully immersed in reliving the conversation he just had with Zhen Yu.

"Because of you."

"...Really?!"

"...I’ve listened to a few, um, male singers online whose voices sound a bit like yours."

"?!"

"I don’t like them!"

"..."

This kind of explanation was even more delightful to him than Zhen Yu directly complimenting Han Mingyue’s voice!

Just thinking that he possessed traits she liked, he couldn’t stop bubbling with happiness!

It was a very subtle feeling, like ’Beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ or ’Everything I like, you have.’ If Han Mingyue had to describe this feeling, it would probably be — a peacock wishing to display its plumes!

And not just any display, but the kind that triggers the moment he sees Zhen Yu...

—

Today, Zhen Yan, who was supposed to have a day off and stay at home, didn’t return until dinner time. As soon as he arrived, he started complaining to Han Jiayang about the teachers’ inhumanity! It was just the end of Junior Year exams, not college entrance exams! Was there really a need to deprive him of his only holiday on Sunday?!

And with such a tough life, he still had to endure until mid-July to be free! He was soooo envious of the three who had already started their summer vacation!

After placating Zhen Yan a bit, Han Jiayang then directly stated his intention!

"Zhen Yan! I want to go to the Martial Arts Hall to become a disciple! Do you think I can learn for two months first? So when I go back home, I will know how to practice! Once I get into high school,"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yan immediately interrupted Han Jiayang’s daydreaming.

"Don’t talk about that far ahead! Let’s first figure out how we can secure a spot for these two months!"

"Isn’t that your master? Can’t you put in a good word for me?!" Han Jiayang asked, his eyes filled with hope as he looked at Zhen Yan.
