Mr. Han stood in place reflecting for a while, then suddenly lifted his head to ask Han Mingyue, "We’re not even buying a house, why do you want to go with her?" During the gap in the conversation between Zhen Yu and her father, Han Mingyue had already thought a lot. So, now that he spoke again, the reasons he wanted to go to the Capital had become even more substantial than when he just told Zhen Yu! "I also want to go to university in the Capital, so I want to see Beijing University, Qinghua University, and other universities nearby! And since Xiao Yu mentioned the housing prices keep going up, don’t you consider buying an apartment in the Capital?" "Heh!" Mr. Han was amused by his son’s comment. "Now you know to ask me for a house, huh! Do you even know how much savings our family has, and whether it’s enough to buy an apartment?" Being joked about by his father in front of his girlfriend, Han Mingyue wished he could find a hole to crawl into! Seeing the situation, Zhen Yu hurriedly helped him out, "Uncle Han! I think what Han Mingyue said makes sense! Why don’t you discuss it with Auntie, and consider buying an apartment in the Capital too! After all, you’ll have to buy a house ’sooner or later’, right?! Moreover, the pharmacy has been open for several months, it must have started making a profit, right?" Mr. Han started to regret his words right after he said them, realizing that his son had grown up and it was no longer appropriate to make fun of him in front of others, especially Zhen Yu. Unfortunately, it was too late to take back the words, but thankfully... After hearing Zhen Yu’s words, he actually became somewhat tempted. After all, he had two sons! Indeed, he ’sooner or later’ must buy houses! And at least two more! Plus the pharmacy’s profit these past few months... Thinking of this, Mr. Han looked at Zhen Yu and asked, "When are you and your brother leaving?" "As soon as he’s on winter break! The earliest would be in two days!" "Okay! I’ll discuss it with your Auntie and then decide!" Leaving these words behind, Mr. Han exited the bedroom. The moment Mr. Han left, Han Jiaoyang, who had been pretending to watch TV, suddenly jumped up! "You guys are going to the Capital?! I want to go too!" "What are you going for!" snapped Zhen Yu. Yet, Han Mingyue calmly said, "Don’t you still want to get into First High School? Don’t you still want to attend the Martial Arts Hall?" "Ugh!" His brother’s words made Han Jiaoyang’s expression look as if he had just swallowed a fly! His face deflated in a second. "Fine, fine! If I’m not going then you have to bring me back a gift!" "Deal! I promise you!" Han Mingyue readily agreed! Only if his younger brother didn’t get involved in the mess, would he possibly be able to make the trip. If both of them started to make a fuss about going, then for sure nobody would end up being able to go... In the time following, Han Mingyue started to discuss with Zhen Yu how much pocket money he would take to the Capital! And what things he should bring! As for Han Jiaoyang, he could only listen eagerly, since he was immediately facing middle school entrance exams once the school term started! And Mr. Han, after taking care of the only patient receiving IV treatment, went downstairs and began to discuss with Mrs. Han as they sat face to face on the first floor. "...What do you think?" Mr. Han asked after explaining the situation to Mrs. Han. Mrs. Han only pondered for a few seconds before responding, "I think it’s a good idea! If our son wants to go, let him take a look!" Mr. Han secretly touched his forehead, "I was asking about buying a house! How do you feel about buying an apartment in the Capital?" Mrs. Han paused for a few more seconds, then still nodded, "I think it’s a good idea! Ming Yue also said he wanted to go to university in the Capital!" "But houses in the Capital are definitely not going to be cheap..." Actually, this was the real reason Mr. Han hesitated over and over! As an adult, except for Mrs. Han! The first thing that comes to mind is definitely the difficulty with money! "It’s not about whether it’s cheap or not, let Ming Yue go and have a look and we’ll know!" Mrs. Han, who was inherently optimistic, said this and then teasingly looked at her husband, "Zhen Yan and Zhen Yu, the siblings, are brave enough to travel together, what are you still worried about with our eldest son?! Could it be that you’re reluctant to spend money on his trips back and forth?" "Nonsense! Are we short of that little money?!" Mr. Han blurted out without even thinking! "There you go! So what’s there to hesitate about? It’s not like we’re letting the kid buy a house in the Capital right away! If he comes back and talks about it, and we think it’s okay, then we’d have to go buy it ourselves anyway!" As soon as Mrs. Han finished speaking, Mr. Han immediately nodded in agreement. "Alright! That settles it! Tell Ming Yue about it tomorrow, let him go! You, always drag your feet with things, don’t agree to whatever the kids ask right away! What if you don’t want to agree one day?!" "Fine fine fine! I’ll listen to you! We’ll talk tomorrow! Happy now?" Mrs. Han said while flipping a disdainful eye roll. "Sigh..." Mr. Han shook his head helplessly, "You go on up and rest! There’s nobody coming today." Mrs. Han laughed, "Then I’ll go up and watch TV! It’s also about time for that little rascal Jiaoyang to study..." —— Chapters first released on N0velFire.ɴet Zhen Yu didn’t stay at the Han Family for too long. After Mrs. Han went upstairs, Zhen Yu proposed to leave. Han Mingyue wasn’t in a position to keep her longer, so she got dressed and walked out with Zhen Yu, under the pretense—of seeing her off! This seeing off ended up being all the way to the girls’ dormitory building entrance. "You should head back! It’s almost dinner time." Zhen Yu said to Han Mingyue at the entrance of the building. The dormitory supervisor was already accustomed to this situation. The supervisor had reported what she should report! She had gone out to remind people who ’get in the way’ plenty of times! But these two people always kept it strictly platonic, only ever talking, never making any superfluous moves! It was so hard to catch them on anything! So the supervisor simply turned a blind eye and let it be! "Mhm! Will there be anyone in your dorm tonight?" Han Mingyue asked, feeling a bit uneasy. "I really don’t know that!" Zhen Yu had left the dorm early that morning and naturally had no idea now. "But it’s fine, I’m not afraid even if nobody’s there! There are still many Senior High School girls in the building!" Han Mingyue nodded, it was because of this that he felt assured to let her stay in the dorm tonight. "Mhm, then go back to the dorm for a while! Remember to go downstairs for dinner when it’s mealtime!" "I’m going to leave first." Han Mingyue waved his hand and turned to leave, but after walking a few steps, he turned back and smiled at Zhen Yu. The two had once had a little argument over whether she should go upstairs first or he should leave first. Eventually, it was Zhen Yu’s words that made him change his mind about watching her go upstairs. "There has to be one person who leaves first, so let’s decide based on who arrives first! Every time, you’re the first one to come downstairs and wait for me, so naturally, you should be the one to leave first!" "I don’t like the feeling of waiting for others at all, but watching someone’s retreating back fade away, I can still barely accept that! I can’t possibly bear all the discomfort by myself, can I!"
