Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 833 - 832: Casting a Brick to Attract Jade

Chapter 833: Chapter 832: Casting a Brick to Attract Jade

The muffled laughter from the bedroom wasn’t loud, and Zhen Yu only laughed a couple of times before stifling it, so the two guys in the living room naturally heard nothing.

Coincidentally, while the two girls were whispering in the bedroom, Lu Huai unconsciously steered his chat with Han Mingyue towards this topic...

"Hey! It’s been days since winter break started, why are you still staying at Zhen Yu’s place? Aren’t you moving back home?"

"I don’t have space at home right now."

No matter how others might interpret it, Han Mingyue didn’t feel guilty at all when he said this.

But Lu Huai laughed as soon as he heard it: "Heh... no space at your home? Didn’t you just buy a new house for your brother?"

Han Mingyue shot him a sidelong glance, refusing to answer such a serious question.

Unexpectedly, seeing this, Lu Huai immediately put on a knowing look!

Then he sneakily leaned closer to Han Mingyue, nudging him with his elbow and whispered: "Hey! Let me ask you something! You and Zhen Yu, have you two..."

Although Lu Huai didn’t finish his sentence, Han Mingyue’s ears turned a bright red upon hearing it!

He then fiercely glared at Lu Huai and still refused to respond!

Lu Huai pondered for several seconds but still couldn’t figure out what Han Mingyue meant by this.

So he, refusing to give up, nudged him again, offering to confess first: "What’s wrong? Embarrassed? How about I confess first?"

Han Mingyue was taken aback! Then he looked at Lu Huai with some doubt, "You?"

Lu Huai suddenly felt a bit awkward and scratched his head!

Then he put on a "you know what I mean" expression and began to laugh... "Hehe."

——

No matter how Lu Huai tried to pry afterwards, Han Mingyue never let anything slip.

So even when Bai Xue and Zhen Yu walked out of the bedroom, Lu Huai still didn’t figure out whether Han Mingyue and Zhen Yu were together or not!

It wasn’t until he was chatting with Bai Xue back at their own little home, after taking a cab together, that Bai Xue casually mentioned it. "... Zhen Yu said no, they just slept in the same bedroom."

Lu Huai was shocked!

"No way?! Han Mingyue can hold back like that?!"

Bai Xue immediately rolled her eyes at him!

"What’s so hard to hold back? You, sigh..." As she was talking, Bai Xue suddenly shrugged and sighed.

Lu Huai immediately asked worriedly, "What’s wrong with you?"

"What else? We’re going back home soon and I’m worried,"

Lu Huai was puzzled, "Worried about what?"

"What else could it be!?" Seeing Lu Huai still looking clueless, Bai Xue suddenly got angry!

"I’m worried my mom will figure it out! If she finds out, she’ll scold me to death!"

Lu Huai suddenly realized! So he quickly reached out to hug Bai Xue and appease her softly, "Don’t be mad!"

Bai Xue: "I’m not mad! Besides, what’s the point of being mad?!"

Lu Huai helplessly kissed her on the back of her hair, "You say you’re not mad! Listen to your tone... It’s all my fault! If Auntie really finds out, you can just blame it all on me!"

Bai Xue glared at him, "What do you mean ’blame?!’ It’s your fault to begin with!"

Lu Huai grinned broadly, "Okay, okay! It’s all my fault! But since we’re leaving tomorrow, today can you..."

——

At Zhen Yu’s house, after Lu Huai and Bai Xue bid farewell and left.

The two, who had just seen their friends off with a calm demeanor, suddenly didn’t dare to meet each other’s eyes once the door closed.

Because the question Bai Xue/Lu Huai had asked during the previous whispering session simultaneously popped into their minds.

"So when are you planning to..."

"Are you staying around for winter break because you plan to..."

"Ahem!" Unable to bear the awkward and tense atmosphere, Zhen Yu finally coughed lightly.

Then she said, "So, did Lu Huai say anything to you outside just now?"

"Uh! He," Deep in thought, Han Mingyue suddenly looked up at Zhen Yu!

Then he immediately lowered his gaze and said, "He didn’t say anything."

Zhen Yu stared at the tips of Han Mingyue’s rosy ears, unable to help but doubt, "Really?"

Han Mingyue: "...Yeah."

After responding, he quietly let out a breath of relief.

In his mind, girls should be too shy to bring up things like this in front of others, even in front of their best friends.

So as long as he kept quiet, Lu Huai and Bai Xue’s situation should remain undercover.

However, he was evidently relieved too soon...

Because Zhen Yu immediately followed up with, "That Lu Huai! Acting like nothing happened after getting what he wanted..."

"!" Han Mingyue: "Did Bai Xue say that?"

"What else?! You think I could just see and tell?" Zhen Yu glared at him, "Could I have figured it out just by looking?!"

Han Mingyue: "..."

——

Seeing Han Mingyue playing dead and mute, Zhen Yu pondered a bit before deciding to test him on this issue!

Since she was planning to go mining in three years, whether she could stay by Han Mingyue’s side was still uncertain...

So if Han Mingyue was also interested, Zhen Yu wouldn’t mind moving certain plans forward on the schedule.

Besides, honestly speaking, even if she wasn’t in a hurry to take things further with him, after spending so much time together so closely, it would be a lie to say she hadn’t thought about it at all.

After organizing her thoughts, Zhen Yu hesitantly asked, "Han Mingyue! What do you think, is it right or wrong for Bai Xue to do what she did with Lu Huai, um...?"

As soon as Zhen Yu finished speaking, Han Mingyue’s eyebrows furrowed immediately.

He stared intensely at the remote control on the coffee table, as if hoping to see a flower bloom on it!

He was thinking — what’s with this question?! Whether Bai Xue is right or wrong, what does it have to do with him, Han Mingyue?!

However, since Bai Xue was Zhen Yu’s most valued friend, he couldn’t be too blunt.

So after thinking it over, Han Mingyue replied, "Right or wrong, her mom will tell her when she gets home!"

Zhen Yu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this!

"That’s as good as saying nothing! I’m not asking if what she did was right, I’m asking what you think of this!"

"Me?" Han Mingyue looked up, pointing to himself, "What do I think..."

Seeing Han Mingyue already frowning and pondering, Zhen Yu immediately quieted down, waiting patiently for his answer.
