Han Mingyue knew she was feeling awkward, so she hurried to coax Zhen Yu into talking! "Yes, yes, yes! I’m just too soft-hearted." Zhen Yu didn’t feel coaxed at all and couldn’t help but mutter, "...You’re the one who’s like an egg!" "...Then what do you resemble? A salted duck egg? A goose egg? A quail egg?" "Han Mingyue! You’re the one like a quail egg! See if I don’t hit you..." Zhen Yu was a bit flustered and annoyed. But then Han Mingyue suddenly bent down slightly and brought his face close to hers, asking in a soft but serious voice, "Would you really want to?" "!" Zhen Yu suddenly leaned her head back, and her entire face turned red in an instant! The cute face so close and blushing was so tempting that Han Mingyue’s brain short-circuited to a blank! Unconsciously, he kissed her. After kissing her and standing back up, he swallowed and felt a bit nervous! And a little bit of...bashfulness and secret delight. His left hand clenched unconsciously, as if afraid that Zhen Yu would suddenly break away and run off. Zhen Yu really hadn’t expected Han Mingyue to suddenly kiss her cheek, and her face flushed even more, freezing her in place. After her mind muddied with chaotic thoughts for a while, she quickly raised her other hand to tug at Han Mingyue’s sleeve and said, "Let’s go! This is someone else’s building entrance!" Seeing that her expression wasn’t one of displeasure, Han Mingyue quickly nodded in a fluster. From the beginning to the end, the two held hands the entire time, never parting. Returning from the Capital, having been abroad all this while, it was now time for Han Mingyue to go back home. And in appreciation for his company during her travels, Zhen Yu decided after some thought to accompany him home. So, after returning to her place to pick up Han Mingyue’s backpack, the two of them slowly headed towards the Han Family Pharmacy. But as they were about to arrive, Han Mingyue suddenly asked, "Xiao Yu, how do you plan to spend the winter break?" Zhen Yu sneaked a glance at him, then very sensibly said, "Teach you how to practice calligraphy with a brush?" Official source is n0velfire.net Han Mingyue tried hard to suppress his upturned lips, feigning nonchalance, "Sure!" "Heh!" Zhen Yu chuckled secretly in her heart. This guy by her side ’has gone bad’! How did he suddenly learn to beat around the bush... Zhen Yu didn’t stay long at the Han Family, just briefly chatting with Mr. Han and Mrs. Han before she took her leave. She felt that Han Mingyue was involved during the entire Capital trip, so he must have had a lot to talk about with his family! It would be inconvenient for her to stay. Returning home around dinner time, Zhen Yu, tired from a day’s activities, didn’t want to move, so Zhen Yan suggested going out to eat. After dinner, Zhen Yu went straight to bed without even taking a shower, just brushed her teeth and washed her face... After resting her eyes for a while, she then connected with He Baihe. He Baihe: "So early and you have nothing to do? That doesn’t sound like you!" "...I’m too tired today, I don’t want to move." He Baihe: "What exhausted you like that? Surely not just the train ride! Wasn’t it a sleeper car?" "Talking investments with a bunch of old men, my brain cells are dropping dead by the millions!" He Baihe: "Haha! Consider yourself lucky! You’ve gotten into investing while I haven’t even started on my career!" "How could you say that? I’ve already contacted the suppliers. Not only various kinds of books but also DVDs!" He Baihe: "How do you do things so quickly?! I haven’t even finished redecorating yet!" "...When I was bored in the Capital, I hustled a bit. The inventory is not much, just see which items sell better..." In the following time, the two girls discussed the business of cross-dimension purchasing again. He Baihe: "Xiao Yu, why do I feel like I’m about to open a second-hand shop? You think people would buy from us?" "Why not? Nostalgia and collecting is just like that! Anyway, we’re just doing purchasing on behalf of others! Customers have to pay a deposit once they request items! Then we buy them; there’s no way we’ll lose money." He Baihe: "That’s true! I’ll give it a try! If it works out, the profit could be pretty high! Oh right! Do you want me to purchase anything for you?" "Aren’t you already purchasing on my behalf? At the moment, I don’t plan to get rich from this, but when it comes to favors... hehe!" He Baihe: "Ah ha... I get it! Has Su Xuan asked you for goods recently?" "Not really! Probably her friends and family have had their fill of tragedies." Zhen Yu started grumbling once she brought up the topic, "I just realized she’s just like you, always trying to fuss over me! The return gifts she sends are all for beautifying oneself! I’m speechless... I told her I didn’t need them, but she acts like she doesn’t understand and keeps sending clothes and jewelry next time! I regret telling her that people wore ancient costumes in the past!" He Baihe: "Hahaha... Didn’t you say you’ve got a boyfriend? What’s wrong with beautifying yourself a bit!" "Forget it! I can’t reason with you! I’m going offline to sleep." He Baihe: "Every time we reach this point, you run away," [Ding! The other party has disconnected!] "Little sister! Why aren’t you up yet? Aren’t we doing our morning run today?!" Zhen Yan knocked on his sister’s door and pushed it slightly open, glancing down at the floor as he inquired. "Tired!" Zhen Yu turned over, muttering, "Don’t wanna move, not running today!" "Okay then!" Zhen Yan didn’t try to persuade her, instead he straightforwardly said, "I’ll head straight to mom’s after my run! She asked me to accompany her and Xiao Ci to the hospital for a check-up, might not be back until afternoon!" "Got it..." Zhen Yu replied groggily before continuing her slumber. Zhen Yan waited a moment, heard no response, then gently closed her room door and went downstairs alone. After meeting up with the Han Family Brothers not far from home, Han Mingyue’s first question was, "Where’s Xiao Yu?" Zhen Yan smiled helplessly, "Still a girl after all! She might be tired from the trip, still sleeping! She told me she’s not running today!" Han Mingyue felt something was slightly off, but maybe Xiao Yu was indeed simply being lazy for once!? So he held his breath, finished his morning run, ate breakfast at home, and then quickly went to Zhen Yu’s current residence. It was actually still quite early; it had just turned half-past seven. So when Han Mingyue was about to knock on the security door, he suddenly paused, thinking it wouldn’t be nice to wake her up from her lazy sleep... Thus, Han Mingyue took out a bunch of keys from his down jacket pocket, picked one, and inserted it into the lock. He had gotten this key the first time he came here, from Xiao Yu, because he knew she had a bad habit of tossing keys around carelessly! That’s why he had made a point to have a spare one.
