Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl
Chapter 305 - 304: I Miss You!

Chapter 305: Chapter 304: I Miss You!

Han Mingyue took a few seconds to react, "Oh... It’s those two people!"

Zhen Yu felt she had said enough about her own matters and shifted the topic to Han Mingyue.

"How about you? How is ’Immortal Tribulation’ coming along?"

Han Mingyue was a bit smug, "I’ve gotten much faster at typing with five strokes; I’ve switched to typing on the computer."

"Oh? That’s really great! Once you finish writing it all, you won’t have to retype it into a digital version!" Zhen Yu said this and couldn’t help but remind her, "Typing on a computer is good, but you need to be careful!"

Han Mingyue asked confusedly, "Careful about what?"

"Have you saved your document in the D drive like I told you?"

"Yes, I have!"

"Then remember to back it up on a floppy disk often! If the hard drive fails, the document could be lost."

Han Mingyue still didn’t quite understand, "Lost? You mean it disappears?"

"Well, not exactly. It just becomes very troublesome to retrieve!"

"...Alright! I got it." After Han Mingyue agreed, she paused for a second, suddenly recalling something she heard today.

She anxiously asked, "You didn’t call the Fu Family during the summer break, did you?"

Zhen Yu immediately thought of Bai Xue ’reporting’ to Han Mingyue and decisively replied, "No! I was actually thinking of calling Bai Xue tomorrow!"

"Oh!" Han Mingyue seemed to have just asked casually and didn’t continue further.

Zhen Yu felt there was more to Han Mingyue’s words and was considering whether to probe further when Mrs. Zhen’s voice came from outside the bedroom, "Xiao Yu! Who are you calling so late? Hurry up and get ready to sleep!"

"Got it!" Zhen Yu covered the receiver and responded, then quickly let go and hastily said to Han Mingyue, "Write me a letter! The address is Class 1 of Fourth Grade at the Affiliated School! My mom is rushing me; I can’t talk anymore!"

"Okay! I’ll write it in a bit! Go to sleep early! I," Han Mingyue suddenly paused, then quickly added, "I miss you!"

Click—Han Mingyue hung up the phone.

It was the first time he had hung up before Zhen Yu did.

Thump! Thump! Thump...

Han Mingyue stood in front of the cabinet holding the landline, his heart pounding, and his face slowly, slowly reddening.

He wondered what expression Xiao Yu might have after hearing his words...

It had been almost a month and a half since their last encounter, and they had talked a few times during this period. He had always wanted to muster the courage to say these words to her, but he never managed. Today...

"Ming Yue! Are you still on the phone?" Mrs. Han came up behind Han Mingyue only to find her son standing dazedly facing the wall.

Mrs. Han chuckled and nudged her son, "Ming Yue! Time to wash up and sleep!"

"Ah? Oh!" Han Mingyue snapped back to reality and quickly scurried away with his head down.

Only Mrs. Han was left standing there, mumbling, "This darn kid..."

——

Beep-beep—beep—

Hearing Han Mingyue say he missed her, Zhen Yu didn’t show any expression at the time; she just held the phone and was stunned for several seconds, then suddenly she didn’t feel like calling Qian Duoduo anymore!

After coming back to her senses, she gently hung up the receiver as if it were some fragile treasure to be carefully handled. After hanging up, she pressed her lips together, her eyes and eyebrows carrying a smile, and walked into the bathroom to wash up.

The daughter lay in bed and turned her back, starting to sleep; Mrs. Zhen didn’t think anything of it initially.

After turning off the lights, she inquired several times about the situation in the Affiliated School, but Zhen Yu always responded nonsensically with utterances like "hmm" and "uh-huh!" Mrs. Zhen couldn’t help but reprimand, "What are you thinking when I’m talking to you? Who called just now?"

"Ah! Shoot!!" Zhen Yu suddenly realized the situation and frantically thought of an excuse!

"Mom! Han Mingyue was asking me about how to dial-up for the internet, and that reminded me of what Brother Li had told me!"

Of course! Just as Mrs. Zhen was about to get angry at the mention of "Han Mingyue", her attention swiftly shifted upon hearing about what Li Si’er said to Zhen Yu!

"What did Li Si’er say to you?"

"Brother Li said that the telephone company might launch internet services during the National Day!"

"Internet? Really?!" Mrs. Zhen knew her daughter had always been keen on transforming their arcade into an internet cafe. Hearing it mentioned so many times, Mrs. Zhen had also become highly attentive to anything related to the internet!

"I don’t know if it’s true or not, we have been waiting for the confirmation!"

"Sigh...there’s still a month left! Why the rush? Go to sleep, go to sleep!" Mrs. Zhen casually remarked.

Sometimes, Mrs. Zhen also felt that her daughter was overly anxious about getting online, which might not be such a good thing! The arcade was already making a decent amount of money, and she insisted on changing it; hopefully, it wouldn’t create any new issues!

—

The next day at noon, while Zhen Yu was still eating lunch, the telephone upstairs rang.

"Hello? I’m looking for Zhen Yu!" A common male voice transmitted through the phone line.

"Wait a moment!" Zhen Yan set the receiver aside and ran to the stairway to shout downstairs, "Little sister! It’s your call! I couldn’t recognize who it was!"

Zhen Yu quickly set down her chopsticks and went upstairs to answer the call.

"This is Zhen Yu."

"This is Zhang Liang from the electronics store!"

"Oh! Brother Zhang! What can I do for you?"

"You asked me to keep an eye on a few games! That ’Red Alert’ is in stock now! Do you want to install?"

"Yes!" Zhen Yu’s voice grew louder with excitement, then she somewhat anxiously inquired, "I haven’t even laid out the local network here yet! You can definitely set it up, right?"

"Of course! As a loyal customer, I’ll give you a real good deal! I have all the equipment and materials you need—guaranteed quality! How about that?"

"Absolutely! When are you free to come by?"

"How about tomorrow afternoon?"

"Perfect! Even better if it’s not this weekend! I’ll ask my mom to close the shop for half a day!"

"Then it’s settled. I’ll bring everything over tomorrow!"

"I’ll be at school! If there’s anything, just talk to my mom directly! I trust you! You wouldn’t just make a quick sale and leave, right?"

"Haha... Of course not! I’m still hoping you’ll continue to expand!"

"That I definitely will! Brother Zhang, I won’t keep you any longer, I’ve only eaten half my meal!"

"Oh, you go ahead and eat then! I’ll hang up now!"

After the call ended, Zhen Yu didn’t feel like going downstairs to eat anymore.

After thinking it through, she picked up the receiver again and called Liu Ting’s home.

Zhen Yu felt somewhat nervous but felt compelled to inquire.

The exam for skipping grades by Qian Duoduo and Lu Wei seemed a trivial matter, but it could very well be an important turning point that affects the young couple’s destiny!

Moreover, it also involved Bai Xue’s studies and tutoring for the upcoming year...
