Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 874 - 873: The Dagger Revealed

Han Mingyue was quite helpless, "I just came up with the concept for this book, I haven’t had time to think about anything else yet."

"Then after you get this one going smoothly, you can consider it! Time travel or rebirth, maybe? Huh?"

Zhen Yu unconsciously reached out and tugged at Han Mingyue’s shirt hem.

She didn’t even realize how coy her actions seemed at that moment!

"...Alright!" Feeling Zhen Yu’s pleading gaze, Han Mingyue felt he couldn’t say no.

Zhen Yu: "Then you,"

Before she could finish her sentence, the melodious saxophone tune "Going Home" suddenly started playing—it was Han Mingyue’s phone ringing.

"Then you should answer the phone first!"

Han Mingyue nodded, saw it was Liu Yu calling, and answered right away.

"Hello? Liu Yu..."

Seeing Han Mingyue getting lost in the phone conversation, Zhen Yu couldn’t help but stealthily reach out her eager little hand...

Just as she turned the computer screen towards herself, Han Mingyue cast a warning glance at her!

Logically, understanding his signal, Zhen Yu should have given up!

But she was just too curious about Han Mingyue’s new novel! She didn’t want to miss this rare opportunity at all.

So she could only put on a pitiful expression, hoping to soften Han Mingyue’s heart.

The fact is... Zhen Yu’s strategy worked!

Originally planning to surprise Zhen Yu with the sales after the book released, Han Mingyue eventually clicked a few times on the mouse, opening the document of this novel’s outline for her...

But that was all!

Because, before pushing the computer towards Zhen Yu, Han Mingyue raised an index finger and waved it at her!

The meaning was clear—it was just this once.

If she wanted to see more detailed content, that was absolutely impossible.

——

So Zhen Yu could only nod reluctantly, agreeing not to make any more unreasonable demands.

Only then did she get to glimpse the outline of Han Mingyue’s fifth novel, understanding his new ideas and inspirations.

But after she finished reading the outline, Zhen Yu suddenly felt troubled!

Because she desperately wanted to see more right then!! And wanted to urge him to update anytime, anywhere!!!

What to do about this???

A good novel just needs a brief intro to spark the desire to read more, let alone an entire outline!

At this moment, Zhen Yu felt like a gourmet catching a whiff of delicious meat stew, able to see it but not taste it!

Her heart felt like a little cat scratching away inside.

And remembering what she had promised him just earlier, Zhen Yu immediately felt even more frustrated, didn’t she...

If she had known it would end this way, she might not have even looked at the outline! Ah, damn it! 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

But now, it’s too late to say anything.

After making sure Zhen Yu had finished reading the outline, Han Mingyue moved the computer back to his side with one hand, leaving no suspense at all.

Meanwhile, Zhen Yan’s phone rang too, as well as hers, both receiving text messages.

So they could only start dealing with their own things.

After all, replying to New Year texts is an obligatory task! They couldn’t just leave them unanswered!

And while busy replying, Zhen Yu suddenly recalled stories she had seen about how people caused some messes with the popular New Year texting of the time.

For example, due to different cell networks, users from mobile and Unicom couldn’t text each other...

——

Using text for New Year greetings in real life was one thing!

What Zhen Yu didn’t expect was that He Baihe, amidst the chaos, suddenly sent her a connection request!

What else could Zhen Yu do? She swiftly connected it, of course!

As soon as He Baihe called in, she greeted with a "Happy New Year!" and then right away started boasting about her new phone!

This was a bit much...

What kind of incredible phone is it that she had to flaunt it across the dimensions?!

He Baihe: "...Let me tell you Xiao Yu! My new phone has a super large screen! Super fast response! Tons of functions! It’s awesome for gaming and watching videos!"

Zhen Yu: "Haha! Really..."

"Don’t doubt it! It’s true!" After strongly emphasizing twice, He Baihe suddenly changed the subject directly to: "You’ve had your phone for years now! Aren’t you planning to get yourself a new one during the New Year?"

"Ha! So all this time, you were waiting to bring this up..." Zhen Yu teased her.

"Hehe!" He Baihe’s laugh showed no embarrassment from being exposed, instead sounding relieved!

"I’m out of moves here! My family’s phone store is shutting down, leaving a bunch of stock. My mom and her older friends brought home some each. But we can’t sell them! Can’t even give them away! She paid a few hundred for each! I’m not short on cash, but she’s frustrated they can’t be given away! She’s been going on about it while making dumplings..."

——

"And that’s when you thought of me?!" Zhen Yu joked, then said, "You know what! The stuff you can’t give away over there is good stuff over here! How many are there? Including your relatives’ and those in the store, I’ll take them all! It’d be nice for New Year gifts too."

"Haha! I knew Xiao Yu, you’re the best!" He Baihe laughed happily, "I’ll first make a deal with everything my mom got! I’ll calculate the price after summing up all the stock! It’ll definitely be cheap! This is a win-win for both of us!"

"Yeah! Win-win!" Zhen Yu sighed, then said, "But for self-use or gifts it’s fine! And we can pretend they’re foreign brands! But we can’t just sell them directly, the country doesn’t allow it."

He Baihe agreed! "Yeah! That’s the downside! Otherwise, you could’ve made a fortune reselling electronics! Unfortunately, it’s different from the stock clocks I get from you to sell as secondhand goods here! Secondhand has an obscure origin! New items need warranties! Oh, by the way! Do you want tablets or other digital products? My relatives have some in their stock too."

Zhen Yu: "Transfer it all to me! I’m not short on those things either!"

"Okay then! Let’s make a deal first! Besides, hanfu sales here have been good during the New Year, we need to restock after the holiday! Did you send the additional orders to the factory like I asked?"

"Yes! I’ve arranged it on the phone earlier! They should be ready once production resumes after the New Year..."
