Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Give It a Try

Even though she didn’t plan to acknowledge Han Zheng as her father, Meng Chuyue now felt a daughterly admiration for him and hoped she could have a chance to see him today.

Even just a glance.

Han Zheng must have taken quite a liking to Erhu, to have left his work behind to come out with Han Mi.

Though he was already in his early forties, his appearance and aura were distinguished, and his presence instantly attracted everyone’s attention, causing passersby to stop in their tracks.

Meng Chuyue noticed him immediately but only spared him a glance.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to look more, she dared not, fearing she might give away her secret or be misunderstood.

However, it was this very glance that allowed her to realize a fact she hadn’t noticed in her previous life; she bore a striking resemblance to Han Zheng.

Especially the eyes...

The exact same peach blossom eyes.

Because Erhu liked her, Han Zheng couldn’t help but take another couple of looks at Meng Chuyue. After noting her impressive demeanor and looks, he thought Erhu’s behavior was quite normal.

He had long recognized Erhu’s fondness for beauty, always praising the attractive and scorning the plain.

He gently thanked Meng Chuyue, "Thank you for bringing Erhu back. Xiao Qi, please invite this young lady in for a cup of tea, and don’t forget to give her a flowerpot as a thank-you gift."

After saying this, he grabbed Erhu and returned to his study.

Meng Chuyue intended to decline, but she wanted Han Zheng’s... gift.

She hesitated for a moment before saying to Han Mi, "I’ve been wanting to buy some flower seeds, could you sell me some?"

"Of course, of course, certainly."

Han Mi eagerly ran to Meng Chuyue’s side and accompanied her inside, instructing the staff to bring out all kinds of flower seeds stored for Meng Chuyue to choose from.

Meng Chuyue only wanted a few lily bulbs, but upon seeing Han Mi about to take the opportunity to toss out some old seeds that were hard to germinate, she had a thought: "You don’t want these anymore? How about giving them to me? I’ll try planting them."

Han Mi was surprised, "Don’t tell me you’re actually an expert in gardening."

Meng Chuyue smiled slightly, "I wasn’t before, but I definitely will be in the future."

Not acknowledging each other didn’t mean they had to be strangers.

Meng Chuyue decided to use plants as a medium to develop a good relationship with Han Mi and see Han Zheng occasionally. That way, she wouldn’t feel so alone.

Han Mi was amused to laughter, "I really enjoy talking to you. Well, uh, I think we could be friends, don’t you?"

"I think we could try and see how it goes."

Han Mi, "..."

Why was she suddenly feeling so fluttery?

But she really did enjoy their conversation, she liked it.

"Alright, let me introduce myself first. My name’s Han Mi, and I’m seventeen this year."

"I’m Meng Chuyue, eighteen this year. Well, since we’re nearly friends, let me give you a gift."

Saying this, Meng Chuyue took off her large backpack and pulled out a big bag of Space fruit, "It’s a new variety from the research institute, I was planning to take it to a relative on my way, but I’ll give it to you first."

Before Meng Chuyue could finish speaking, Erhu burst out from the room behind her and pecked vigorously at a big apple inside the bag.

Everyone, "..."

Coming back to her senses, Han Mi quickly grabbed Erhu and handed it over to a staff member along with that big apple, anxiously securing the bag of fruit and then smiling apologetically at Meng Chuyue, "Hehe, Erhu wasn’t like this before, it must be because it likes you too much."

"No, I think it’s because it likes these fruits so much.

It followed me earlier because it smelled the fragrance of the fruits in my backpack, um, that’s it."

Meng Chuyue said seriously, then hinted to Han Mi, "These fruits are really tasty, you should try one. Um, I have things to do today, so I’ll be going now, bye."
