Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 829 - 828: A Touch of Bitterness in the Heart

Chapter 829: Chapter 828: A Touch of Bitterness in the Heart

"And those computer desks, chairs, and double sofas! And those memberships! Those are all intangible assets, you understand?!"

Zhen Yan: "Uh..."

"Uh your ass!"

Zhen Yu was so infuriated by her brother that she wanted to curse and ended up doing just that!

"Damn it!"

To calm herself down before speaking again, Zhen Yu walked two circles around the coffee table.

As she walked, she suddenly remembered something else! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Zhen Yan! I think the most important point in this situation, you probably haven’t thought about it! That internet cafe can’t accommodate anyone! If she gives you the house and money, where will she live?"

Zhen Yu gritted her molars and slowly repeated, "Huh? Where will she live?"

Zhen Yan was truly stunned!

He was just constantly hearing his mother in a loop, saying things like ’I’m not taking advantage of you,’ ’I’ll give you as much as it’s worth,’ ’Who wouldn’t appreciate the reward?’ and ’With this business, I won’t bother you anymore’...

So, caught up in Mrs. Zhen’s repetitive talk, he felt that every word she said made sense!

At the time, he hadn’t thought this far!

So, in a moment of impulse, he agreed...

What to do now? If his sister finds out, will she want to kill him?

Even though Zhen Yan was worried deep inside, he knew this matter couldn’t be hidden!

Therefore, after gathering his courage, he decided to be honest.

"What to do, little sister? I’ve already agreed to it!"

Zhen Yu: "..."

This really highlights that you should fear incompetent allies more than powerful enemies.

—

Seeing Zhen Yu remain silent, Zhen Yan dutifully shut his mouth too.

Yet, the room felt warm like spring, but both persons present could only feel a chill.

Zhen Yan tried several times to say something to his sister to ease the tension, but ultimately kept silent...

Until—

"Click!"

Han Mingyue paused for a moment as soon as he walked in! Then he responded, smiling and saying, "Zhen Yan, you’re here."

Zhen Yan: "Mm!"

Really didn’t feel like talking...

While Han Mingyue closed the door and brushed off the snowflakes on his body, Zhen Yu was snapped out of her contemplation by the sound.

Then she approached, much like a wife waiting for her husband to return, and helped brush off the snowflakes.

Zhen Yan watched the scene in front of him dumbfounded. Reflecting on his sister’s behavior since he walked in, he felt a pang inside.

It’s not the jealousy kind of pang, but a bitter pang.

When did he and his sister start to drift apart?

Is it because of Han Mingyue...

Zhen Yan thought, no.

Back when they were in high school, he and his sister were inseparable, talking about everything...

So this current situation must have changed after he went to college!

With less frequent contact, eventually leading to him reaching out only when necessary.

Initially just helping out with mom, it eventually escalated to mom occasionally requesting money.

Zhen Yan suddenly realized deeply! He was the cause of all this!

His temporary solutions pushed his sister away; his indulgence fed mom’s greed!

—

After realizing this, Zhen Yan suddenly jumped up from the sofa!

He loudly addressed Zhen Yu’s back, "Xiao Yu! I’ll handle this myself! I’m leaving now!"

Shocked, Zhen Yu turned to ask how he planned to resolve it when Han Mingyue unobtrusively pulled her hand.

This brief distraction allowed Zhen Yan to enter Zhen Yu’s room to grab his clothes.

Zhen Yu quickly took the chance to glance at Han Mingyue.

Han Mingyue shook his head seriously at her.

Zhen Yu, baffled, yet listened and held her tongue.

Once Zhen Yan dressed and left, as soon as the security door closed, Zhen Yu asked eagerly, "Why did you stop me?"

At that moment, Han Mingyue stepped out of the master bedroom, having just hung up his down jacket.

Upon hearing the question, he glanced at her! Then earnestly advised, "Zhen Yan should become independent now."

Zhen Yu: "..."

Okay! She admitted it! Although she always intended to develop her brother’s independence, practically, she merely refrained from proactively helping him.

Once he came to her for help, she still passively assisted...

It’s the feeling of having raised a child and being unable to let go!

"Have you had dinner? If not, I’ll make some."

Seeing Zhen Yu’s silence, Han Mingyue directly asked his most concerned question.

Sure enough, Zhen Yu responded, "Uh, no!"

Upon hearing this, Han Mingyue promptly walked toward the kitchen.

A cautious Zhen Yu worried that Han Mingyue might think she was waiting for him to come back to cook dinner!

So after pausing, she hurriedly added, "My brother came over as soon as it got dark..."

—

Han Mingyue smiled without saying a word, only rubbing her head as he passed by: "Understood."

Then he said, "I’ll cook noodles, it’ll be quick!"

Zhen Yu promptly followed him!

"I’ll help you!"

Han Mingyue initially intended to refuse.

But upon seeing Zhen Yu seemingly having put aside Zhen Yan’s issue, he kept quiet.

Well, doing something to distract herself is good.

Thus, the two headed to the kitchen one after the other...

Han Mingyue took a steamer pot to fill with water as Zhen Yu opened the fridge.

"Meat sauce or egg sauce?"

"Egg sauce! Did you take your noon medicine?"

"I did!" As Zhen Yu took out eggs, she also pulled out half a bag of opened noodles.

Han Mingyue placed the pot on the stove, lit the fire, and had nothing else to do.

While standing there, watching Zhen Yu skillfully grab a bowl, beat eggs, and also fetch the soybean paste from the fridge, Han Mingyue lit the stove under the frying pan and poured in oil.

As he poured, he said, "Leave it here! I’ll handle it."

"No need! You watch the water boil to cook the noodles!" Zhen Yu refused.

"I’ll handle the sauce! You watch the water!" Han Mingyue insisted, making Zhen Yu pout, but she didn’t argue further.

With the sauce ready, the water was still not boiling.

After Han Mingyue served the sauce and soaked the pan, he hesitated for just a second before suddenly stepping closer to embrace Zhen Yu from behind.

Zhen Yu stiffened slightly but soon relaxed again.

Then, the pink bubbles in her heart, much like the steam from the boiler, bubbled endlessly from her eyes, and from her head, unstoppable...
