At this point, Han Jiayang could only stay at the Martial Arts Hall to learn martial arts. This, of course, was nowhere near satisfactory for someone who was set on becoming an apprentice! So, Zhen Yu, under Han Jiayang’s unsatisfied gaze, proposed a new term—Reserve Disciple! Reserve Disciple, as the name implies, is a term specifically used to describe students like Han Jiayang who are eager to find a master but are temporarily unable to do so for various reasons. Master Xu, though he understood what Zhen Yu meant, wasn’t really enthused by the idea. In the end, it was entirely for the sake of Zhen Yu’s face that he took Han Jiayang as his only Reserve Disciple! And just like that, the matter concerning Han Jiayang was satisfactorily resolved. When Zhen Yu and his two companions finished their discussion with Master Xu and emerged from the inner room, Lu Huai had long been waiting outside. He, who was chatting and cracking jokes with his martial brothers, got excited when he heard Zhen Yu was going to a guitar training class! Unsurprisingly, he signed up alongside Han Mingyue. Since they were going to learn to play an instrument, of course, they had to buy one first! Fortunately, the trainers usually bring along instruments to sell! And since beginners don’t need anything too expensive or fancy, both boys simply picked one on a whim. Of course, Han Mingyue was well-prepared! So, after purchasing, he could carry his guitar right away! And as for Lu Huai, it was a spur-of-the-moment decision; he picked his guitar, but he could only take it with him after he came back next time to pay the tuition fees. Taking advantage of the fact that it wasn’t yet lunchtime, the three of them quickly moved on to the calligraphy training class! This time, Lu Huai didn’t tag along to cause trouble. Not because he didn’t want to ’keep company’ with the Zhen Han duo, but because he was no longer a beginner in calligraphy! He simply couldn’t be in the same class as them... The training classes only took place on weekends, and the day the group went to sign up was a Monday! So, for the following two days, aside from Han Jiayang heading to the Martial Arts Hall every day, Zhen Yu would go to the old internet café right after breakfast to work on the preparations for the opening! Accompanying her was Han Mingyue who followed her everywhere... On the morning of July 1st at eight o’clock, after the crackling sound of firecrackers, the renovated old internet café finally officially opened for business. As soon as the doors opened, customers flooded in like clouds! This spectacle thrilled Li Si to no end! He repeatedly praised Zhen Yu for having a real knack! That’s because Zhen Yu had already gotten Li Si to write a huge notice and post it at the entrances of both internet cafés! She even placed a computer at the entrance of the old internet café, which played popular music continuously from morning till night for two days! Seeing that the business of both internet cafés was on the right track, Zhen Yu felt she could finally breathe a sigh of relief and rest easy! But unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhen suddenly came to the Han Family’s door on the afternoon of the old internet cafe’s reopening! "Xiao Yu? Xiao Yu!" The shout from outside the door startled Zhen Yu, who was in a half-asleep state. Recognizing it was Mrs. Zhen’s voice, she immediately opened her eyes! And quickly sat up! "Mom? Wait a moment!" While responding, Zhen Yu put on her shoes and got up to open the door for her mother. Mrs. Zhen, with her big belly, holding a cloth bag, slowly walked into her daughter’s temporary bedroom. Han Mingyue, however, just stood at the door, nodded at Zhen Yu, and then turned back to her room. It seemed like she was the one who first discovered Mrs. Zhen’s arrival and hosted her. After entering the room, Mrs. Zhen directly sat down on the bed and blurted out, "Why is it only you two at home?! Where’s your brother?!" Zhen Yu could hear the thick dissatisfaction and questioning in her mother’s tone! With her head lowered and after a brief thought, she understood where her mother’s displeasure stemmed from. She was probably worried about the safety of her and Han Mingyue being alone at home! So much so that she even blamed her son... But... "My brother’s summer vacation hasn’t started yet!" "Oh!" Mrs. Zhen was initially startled! Then she explained, "Mom’s getting old, and ever since I got pregnant, not only do I keep forgetting things! I also can’t remember dates! It was only when I saw Gu Qing staying home these few days that I remembered you had summer vacation! Turns out I forgot that high school is not the same as your junior high!" Zhen Yu really wanted to say, "The Affiliated High School hasn’t started summer vacation either! Only the ninth graders who finished their exams are off." But after thinking about it, she decided to drop it! What was the point of saying all that? This year, Han Jiaoyang’s not taking any exams, and he still had his vacation too... With that time to argue, better to discuss some real issues! "Did you come to see me and my brother?" "Ah... I missed you guys, so I came over to take a look." Mrs. Zhen’s tone seemed Gone with the Wind, and Zhen Yu could not feel her sincerity. She simply responded with silence, wanting to see what kind of medicine her mother was selling in her gourd! Throughout these years, Zhen Yu kept silent, and Mrs. Zhen had gotten used to it. When Zhen Yu stayed mute, Mrs. Zhen always carried on talking on her own! After all, generally, as long as she knew her daughter was indeed listening to her, that was enough! Today was no exception! After Mrs. Zhen placed the cloth bag on the bed and opened it, she took out a white and green plastic tube. It looked like toothpaste, and indeed it was a tube of toothpaste! Only to hear Mrs. Zhen, holding the toothpaste, say, "Xiao Yu! This toothpaste is very good! It’s made from a natural formula, all plant-based! It can prevent cavities and treat gum bleeding, and also whiten teeth, pregnant women can use it too! I brought a tube for you, try it with your brother!" After receiving it, Zhen Yu simply replied with an "Okay". "And this! This is a facial cleanser. Are you still using soap to wash your face? Mom tells you! Little girls should protect their skin, and washing your face with soap is very bad for the skin! This facial cleanser contains milk ingredients! It can whiten and moisturize! After washing your face with it, your skin won’t feel tight at all! Mom brought one for you, try it later! Gu Qing also said it’s good! Really! Mom’s not lying to you!" While Mrs. Zhen introduced the facial cleanser, Zhen Yu kept her head down the whole time. Her eyes were fixed on the toothpaste in her hand! The familiar packaging, the familiar brand, printed in green letters on a white background! "Right! It’s a nice name, isn’t it!" Hearing her daughter read out the brand of the toothpaste, Mrs. Zhen eagerly boasted with a laugh: "You can tell just by the name, it’s a high-end product! Mom tells you, this Unlimited... " Mrs. Zhen kept talking non-stop, even gesturing for her daughter to pour her a glass of water when her mouth went dry. After drinking, she continued to talk! She went on until she had nothing left to say, then reaching out to her daughter, who had been looking down, Mrs. Zhen asked, "You’re so smart, you must understand! This is a great opportunity to make big money! Much easier than running an internet cafe! What do you think? Do you want to join in? Mom will be your upline!"
