Before dinner, Mrs. Zhen went out for a bit. There was no need to ask; she must have gone to inform Gu’s father that she would be dining with her children tonight. Zhen Yan didn’t know what his sister was thinking, but anyway, he was quite satisfied! After many days, the three members of the Zhen Family were once again gathered around the dining table on the first floor, and Zhen Yu felt as if she was experiencing a surreal sense of disconnect. There wasn’t much food at home. Zhen Yu simply steamed a few eggs to make a custard and stir-fried some frozen meat with green onions, along with plain rice. "Let’s eat," Zhen Yu picked up her bowl and quietly took a few bites. Zhen Yan and Mrs. Zhen both quietly picked up their bowls and began eating with their chopsticks. It was clear that everyone at the table was feeling something, each with their own thoughts. During the meal, Zhen Yan wanted to say something several times, opening his mouth but then not knowing what to say. He knew his sister had always been silent; if nobody else spoke, there was no hope of her speaking! But why wasn’t their mother prattling on today as well? Could it be that things would never return to how they once were?! After the meal, Mrs. Zhen wanted to clean up the table, but Zhen Yu stopped her hand. "It’s rare that the internet cafe isn’t keeping you busy. You should hurry home and rest! You need to take good care of your own health!" Mrs. Zhen, who was so much taller than her daughter—nearly ten centimeters taller—suddenly lowered her head, as if she had become shorter than her daughter. Her voice revealed a hint of a sob, "I’m fine, Mom." Zhen Yu was somewhat moved, silently stepped forward, and gave her mother a hug. It was only a fleeting moment. As she stepped back, her expression had already returned to calm, "Brother, I’ll go wash the dishes. You comfort Mom! Then... take her home." Having said this, Zhen Yu immediately turned away! Fearful that her brother would see the slight redness around her eyes. From today onward, her brother was the only family she had! Fatherly and motherly love... Having lived two lifetimes, she was well beyond the age of yearning for such things. It was just that she couldn’t help but feel a bit melancholic. By the time Zhen Yu had finished tidying up the kitchen, her thoughts were no longer revolving around Mrs. Zhen. Zhen Yan had already sat back down at the counter to continue inputting data into the database, with the handwritten inventory list from Mrs. Zhen beside him. "Brother! I’m going upstairs to make a phone call, I’ll come back down in a bit!" Zhen Yan waved his hand, "Go ahead! Once all this is inputted, and we need to proceed to the next step, I’ll call you!" "Okay!" Having agreed, Zhen Yu glanced around the first-floor hallway and then went upstairs. After two rings, the call was answered. "It’s Zhen Yu." Since she couldn’t identify the voice on the other end, Zhen Yu promptly introduced herself. "Zhen Yu... Hey! Jiaoyang! It’s your call!" Hearing Han Jiayang’s initial "hello," Zhen Yu only felt it was slightly off. Now as he shouted, sounding like he had stepped on a dog’s tail, Zhen Yu immediately couldn’t help but laugh inappropriately! "Phew!" Zhen Yu quickly covered her mouth with her hand, afraid that Han Jiayang would hear and start to ’hate’ her again. No wonder she didn’t realize it was Han Jiaoyang who answered the phone—it turned out he had a voice change! "Hello?" The deep and robust male baritone voice made Zhen Yu gasp, her expression froze, and she forgot to pull her hand back! Han Mingyue held her breath and waited for a while, but still, she couldn’t hear any sound coming from the receiver. She realized that her intentional act confirmed her suspicions! She couldn’t help but feel elated and chuckled. Zhen Yu suddenly interrupted him, quite annoyed! "Stop laughing!" The laughter ceased, but the mirth on Han Mingyue’s face didn’t diminish; instead, his grin widened even more. He moved the receiver away from his mouth and covered it with his left hand, leaving only the earpiece pressed tightly against his ear. When Zhen Yu heard that there was indeed no sound coming from the receiver on the other end, she began to worry again! "Sorry, Han... Han Mingyue! I’m not targeting you! I just— I! I, ah!" Frustrated, Zhen Yu grasped her hair tightly with her other hand, only to find her scalp was still tingling. Actually, Zhen Yu didn’t really understand what was wrong with her! She only knew she was particularly fascinated by the saxophone, especially the low-pitched saxophones, to which she simply had no resistance at all! Even when she saw elderly men playing it in the park, she felt they exuded an alluring charm. But she supposedly wasn’t swayed by voices! In her previous life, she had heard so many beautiful songs without being particularly moved by any voice. She really didn’t know what kind of magic was in Han Mingyue’s voice! Normally, Zhen Yu didn’t feel anything when he spoke, but whenever he lowered his voice like he just did, or chuckled beside her ear, she felt like her hair was about to stand on end! And that sensation when he spoke close to her ear during his last visit to Qi City... Zhen Yu shook her head violently! No, she can’t think about this anymore! She should reduce the number of phone calls she makes to him in the future! Naturally, Han Mingyue could hear the frustration in Zhen Yu’s exclaimed "ah." He wanted to explain a few things to her, but even he didn’t fully understand, so he made his feelings clear, "I’m not angry." Zhen Yu immediately responded mechanically: "That’s good you’re not angry!" After a second she added: "Let’s chat on QQ, we can go online!" Quick as a flash, Han Mingyue sensed Zhen Yu’s intention to avoid him and immediately employed a stalling tactic, "Wait a moment!" Just as Zhen Yu was about to say ’Let’s hang up!’ she changed her words, "Anything else?" "I’ve already eaten the thing you sent me." Han Mingyue didn’t even know what to call that round little ball, but since Zhen Yu had written instructions for him to eat it, he did! "Good!" After praising him, Zhen Yu spoke out what she had been intending to say earlier, "Let’s hang up! Chat on QQ for five minutes, I’ll teach you how to use the internet." "...Alright." Since Zhen Yu kept trying to avoid, Han Mingyue didn’t insist. Anyway, she couldn’t keep hiding for long! In five short minutes, Zhen Yu taught Han Mingyue how to leave messages for her on OICQ, how to post works on Rongshu’s website, how to use search engines to find the information he wanted, and so on. She also warned him not to go online often and then ’kicked’ him offline! After that, Zhen Yu combined the information she gathered during her morning runs at the university to start a comprehensive internet search for male celebrities! Search, save. Search, save... Before she knew it, more than an hour had passed, Zhen Yan came upstairs calling for her, "Little sister, I’ve finished recording all the book titles and quantities, come down and check out how to handle them!" "Let’s go!" Zhen Yu stood up to head downstairs, but Zhen Yan stopped her. "Wait! You come up here and stay for so long just to do this?" Zhen Yan pointed at the monitor, "Are you chasing after celebrities?"
