"No need! Thank you!" Lu Mei’s smile instantly froze on her face, and then she silently turned back around. Naturally, she felt some resentment in her heart, "Why did she have to wake up right at this moment! Really!" Han Mingyue didn’t notice Lu Mei’s reaction at all, as he immediately turned his head to look at Zhen Yu, his previously cool gaze instantly warming up! "Mm." Zhen Yu noncommittally responded with a light hum as she sat up straight, her face devoid of any superfluous expressions. She definitely didn’t sleep well, right? Luckily she didn’t, or she wouldn’t have heard every bit of their just-concluded conversation! Realizing that Zhen Yu was disinclined to chat with him, Han Mingyue thought she might be lacking energy from just having woken up. So, he went ahead and mentioned what he wanted to tell her. "Tomorrow is Lantern Festival. My mom asked me to invite you and Zhen Yan to my place for dinner!" Zhen Yu contemplated for just a second before she politely declined: "Maybe not. I should eat with Bai Xue! Zhen Yan can join us!" Han Mingyue hesitated briefly but couldn’t find any reason to persuade her. Finally, he could only say, "Well, okay! You guys can go out and eat something nice." "Let’s talk about it tomorrow! It’s not really that important of a festival, anyway." Teacher Wu, with her teaching materials in hand, entered the classroom just on time, as Zhen Yu hadn’t even finished her sentence because the bell for class rang. And it wasn’t until this moment that Gu Qing, who had been watching the whole event with a half-turned body, finally turned back around to sit up straight. Ever since the start of freshman year, she had always been watching every move around Han Mingyue! The calm between Zhen Yu and Han Mingyue over such a long time wasn’t because Gu Qing didn’t want to create trouble! It was because Han Mingyue had always disregarded her, leaving her with intentions but nothing to act upon. Since she and Lu Huai were already a lost cause, why should Zhen Yu be able to stick to Han Mingyue as if glued together?! Perhaps because it was the first class of the school year, Teacher Wu taught by the book for more than half the class but found that the students still couldn’t focus their attention. So, she suddenly got inspired to have all the students join in an English word chain game! "Let’s start with the class president! You can say anything! After you finish, directly name the next student to continue! Don’t be afraid, be bold in expressing yourself orally!" Entrusted with the task, Zhao Guoqing: "How are you? Gu Qing!" Despite Teacher Wu standing at the podium, many boys immediately began to whisper and snicker among themselves, muttering comments like, "The class president is so bold! He dares to pick Gu Qing right away!" Naturally joyful from the class president’s favor, Gu Qing rose to her feet with a little scheme in mind, and responded coyly, "I’m fine, thank you! And you? Lu Mei!" The named Lu Mei quickly stood up, but she and Gu Qing really weren’t that close. People often instinctively follow their true feelings in such unexpected situations, so after she answered with a casual English sentence, she directly named Han Mingyue! And then asked the question she had long wanted to ask! "I’m OK! Han Mingyue! Uh, What do you like doing?" Han Mingyue was even less acquainted with Lu Mei! Plus, he just happened to be whispering softly with Zhen Yu! So, when his name was called, he didn’t immediately react! As a result, it took Han Mingyue a tad bit longer than the others to stand up after being named. But in those two to three seconds, all the gazes in the class, especially from the girls, suddenly ’swooshed’ and concentrated on his face! Han Mingyue was naturally introverted, and suddenly being watched by so many people, his face ’whooshed’ a shade of red! Without taking time to think further, he quickly buried his head! First, he casually responded with a sentence, then picked an English sentence he wanted to ask, calling Zhen Yu’s name. "I like studying! Hmm, Which season do you like best? Zhen Yu." Zhen Yu first stealthily tugged at Han Mingyue’s school trousers’ leg, who was still foolishly standing; he immediately got the message and sat down. Then, she slowly stood up, her hands seemingly effortlessly hitting the desk with a series of measured "pats!" With this sound, most people’s gaze shifted from Han Mingyue to her. Zhen Yu then leisurely said: "I think winter is the nicest season, Because of the winter vacation! Do you think so? Jia Ming!" Jia Ming, who was paying close attention, almost immediately stood up to answer: "Yes, I do!" "Psst!" A muffled laughter suddenly came from behind Han Mingyue. Embarrassed by the laughter, Jia Ming persisted with the ’chain’ and as soon as he sat down, he immediately punched his new deskmate! "Stop the damn laughing!" However, instead of stopping, the boy laughed even louder after being punched. The chain activity continued, and Zhen Yu, who caught on to the laughter later, was somewhat regretful and annoyed! Damn it! She really shouldn’t have asked that question just now! Too bad it’s too late to say anything now... In just a short moment, Han Mingyue had also sensed the deeper meaning behind this little interlude. Even though he felt a bit jealous, he didn’t want to show it in the classroom in front of everyone. So he took a deep breath first, quickly made a mental note of Jia Ming and his deskmate, and then turned to ask Zhen Yu quietly: "Is that true?" The rightful source is novel•fire.net Zhen Yu caught on in a second and glanced at him, "Half and half." "Then, which half is true?" Han Mingyue asked further while pretending to flip through his book casually. Zhen Yu replied helplessly, "Half true, half false, silly!" The flipping of the book in his right hand paused subtly; Han Mingyue didn’t know why, but suddenly felt a desire to get to the bottom of things! "So, what really is your favorite season?" "Winter! Didn’t I just say?" After answering casually, Zhen Yu realized the air around her had suddenly quieted down... She couldn’t help but turn her head to look, only to see Han Mingyue’s expression was very serious! Zhen Yu blinked twice, scratching her head in confusion and asked, "What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly getting so serious with me?" Han Mingyue pursed his lips, with a surprisingly startling utterance! "I just, just suddenly feel like I don’t understand you as well as I thought I did..." Zhen Yu was startled at his words. ’Don’t understand as well as I thought?’ Come to think of it, she also quite presumptuously felt that she understood him! However, in reality... "Let’s play ’you question, I answer’!" Zhen Yu quickly found a solution, which was akin to a couples’ (or friends’) compatibility test of future generations. Han Mingyue naturally didn’t understand, so he promptly followed up with, "How do we play?" "First you ask a question, then provide four choices for the other to pick from, one of which has to be your own..."
