Chapter 312: Chapter 311: Talking Nonsense

As soon as he heard the familiar name gently uttered by his little sister, Zhen Yan instantly perked up like he’d been electrocuted and lunged forward to cover her mouth!

"Little sister, I was wrong!"

Zhen Yu gave him a look, and Zhen Yan immediately let go of her, capitulating, "Big brother knows nothing! I’m going straight to bed! Sleep! Is sleeping not okay?!"

Although Zhen Yan talked of sleep, once back in his small bedroom, he couldn’t fall asleep at all.

After a lot of thought, he felt that Han Mingyue was now a safe distance from his little sister, and even if there was a puppy love situation, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

They could only make phone calls at most! Maybe write a letter! What else could they do!?

So, for his own little schemes, he ultimately decided to pretend to be unaware and kept the matter a secret to protect his little sister.

"Hello?"

"Han Mingyue! Happy Birthday!"

Han Mingyue’s voice was very soft, "Hmm! It’s Mid-Autumn Festival today, have you eaten mooncakes?"

"Not yet! I’ll eat later! Why are you speaking so softly?" Zhen Yu asked perceptively.

"Jiaoyang is beside me, I can’t get rid of him!" Han Mingyue’s tone carried a hint of moodiness.

The moment his words ended, Han Jiayang’s shout came through the receiver, "Zhen Yu! Happy Mid-Autumn! We’re about to head to Qi City soon!"

"What?!" Zhen Yu exclaimed in surprise.

Han Mingyue glanced at her brother who ran off laughing and shook her head helplessly.

Anyway, even if he didn’t tell her, Aunt Cheng would probably inform her, right?

"Aunt Cheng called this afternoon and said she found a pretty suitable house, and asked my parents to find time and check it out as soon as possible."

"So, when are you coming over? Are you coming too?!" Zhen Yu confirmed again.

"This Saturday!" Han Mingyue became especially happy as he said this, he truly hadn’t expected to see Zhen Yu so soon! He had thought that it would take until National Day or even New Year’s Day before there would be a chance to meet...

"Saturday is not my day off." A little disappointment crept into Zhen Yu’s heart, and her tone became gloomier.

"We’re not leaving until Sunday!" Han Mingyue hurriedly comforted her, "I’ll think of a way to see if we can leave as late as possible!"

"Mhm."

Usually, when the two of them talked on the phone, Zhen Yu didn’t think much of it.

But tonight, suddenly hearing the news that he was about to arrive, a mix of unfamiliar and yet familiar emotions surged up inside her.

So she softly called out, "Han Mingyue."

"Hmm?" Han Mingyue, instinctively tensing and holding his breath, anticipated in his heart, "What will she say?"

"I miss you a little..."

Zhen Yu’s voice sounded aggrieved, making Han Mingyue’s heart feel sour and tender, wishing he could rush to Qi City right away to comfort her!

But he couldn’t.

All he could do was awkwardly say, "... It’s just three more days until I see you..."

Fortunately, Zhen Yu didn’t dwell on it, "Hmm! I know."

The two quickly changed the topic, and then they chatted some more inconsequential small talk.

After hanging up the phone, Zhen Yu suddenly came to her senses and murmured to herself, "I really have too much free time! Such a long chat over nothing! This is only with him..."

On Friday, Teacher Liu came to the class to announce.

Five or six students, including Zhen Yu and Lu Huai, had passed the preliminary round of the calligraphy competition and would have to go to the Qi City Children’s Palace this Sunday for the semifinals, advising everyone to prepare well.

Upon hearing this news, Zhen Yu couldn’t help but throw the English dictionary in her hand onto the desk!

"Slam!"

Accompanied by a loud bang, the thick and heavy dictionary made all four legs of the desk tremble.

Teacher Liu and all the students turned their heads to look at her, and Lu Huai quickly lay down, burying his face on the desk and playing dead the moment everyone looked over.

"Zhen Yu! What’s going on with you?" Teacher Liu’s eyes blazed with anger, having just witnessed the scene of Zhen Yu slamming the book.

Zhen Yu, being called out, immediately stood up and replied: "Reporting to the teacher! I was too excited about passing the preliminary round, and my hand slipped!"

A vein popped on Teacher Liu’s forehead as he roared inwardly: "Nonsense!!!"

Lu Huai also popped his head up ’swoosh’, with a look of seeing a ghost on his face!

He leaned close to Zhen Yu and whispered like a buzzing mosquito: "Do you think the teacher is blind? Your action just now was clearly out of anger! Didn’t you look in the mirror? Does that face, itching for a fight, look like excitement to you?"

Zhen Yu didn’t say a word, just stood there straight.

Even though she was about to puff up in anger like a blowfish! But for the sake of class harmony, Teacher Liu had to squeeze out a bit of a smile on his face.

"Oh! Excited, huh... Zhen Yu, sit down!"

"This is just the preliminary round, no need to be so stirred up! When you all make it to the finals, then it’s not too late to get excited! Classmates! Don’t you think so!?"

"Yes!!" the students in the class answered in loud unison.

And so, the incident of Zhen Yu slamming the book was lightly breezed over by Teacher Liu.

On Friday dinner time, Mrs. Zhen finally revealed the news that the Han Family of four was soon returning to Qi City.

The reactions from both Zhen Yu and Zhen Yan were lukewarm, Mrs. Zhen couldn’t help but look at her son suspiciously.

"Xiao Yan, what’s wrong? Didn’t you look forward to Han Jiayang’s visit last time?"

"I am looking forward to it this time too!" Zhen Yan responded promptly.

"Really? Then why can’t I see it?"

"Uh, I am happy in my heart, how can you see that!"

Zhen Yan’s lying skills were not much better than his sister’s.

The reason for his lack of excitement was naturally because his sister had already told him in advance...

"Hmph!" Mrs. Zhen snorted sarcastically, too lazy to expose her son’s lie, and turned her head towards her daughter.

Zhen Yu immediately switched the topic alertly, "Mom! I’m going to the Children’s Palace on Sunday for the calligraphy competition!"

Before Mrs. Zhen could speak, Zhen Yan expressed his surprise, "Ah? Little sister, you’re going too?!"

Zhen Yu glanced at her brother and asked back slowly, "You’re going?"

"Yeah! I didn’t expect it! The semifinals happen to be this Sunday!" Zhen Yan initially sounded displeased, but then he cheerfully added, "I plan to bring Han Jiayang with me! Let him sit on the sidelines and watch!"

Mrs. Zhen immediately arranged, "Then bring Han Mingyue too! If all three of you are going, it wouldn’t be nice to leave Han Mingyue alone!"

Zhen Yu immediately nodded, "I know!"

Zhen Yan: "..."

I’ll just watch! I’ll keep silent!

When Zhen Yu arrived at school, evening self-study had not yet begun.

So, she took advantage of the desk’s partition to pull out a System Apple from her space and started nibbling at her seat.

After experimenting, Zhen Yu had basically confirmed that all the products from the system were cutting corners!

She guessed they probably wouldn’t go bad no matter how long they were left.

Hearing the sound of eating, Lu Huai rose from the desk, "Hey? You actually brought food to school! Give me one!"

Zhen Yu calmly reached into the deskagain, taking out a regular apple from her space and handed it to him.

After her brother inquired about her eating apples last time, Zhen Yu had taken several apples bought by Mrs. Zhen the next day and put them into her space, replacing them with fresh ones from time to time.

It was all for the sake of being prepared! Now, it really came in handy...
