Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 875 - 874: No Turning Back

The New Year’s greeting messages finally came to a halt, and it was almost midnight.

So Han Mingyue put down the computer and called to Zhen Yan, "Take out the dishes! I’ll go boil some dumplings and prepare the porridge Xiao Yu will have later!"

"Alright! Go ahead!" Zhen Yan agreed, standing up to arrange the chairs and set the tableware.

Zhen Yu sat idly on the bed, helplessly watching those delicious roasted chicken and Harbin sausages, unable to eat a single bite!

Because the doctor had said she could only start with porridge and soup right now! It wouldn’t be until the next day she could eat some noodles cooked to a soft texture...

When Zhen Yu picked up a bowl of porridge for the second time today, it coincided with the countdown ending at the Spring Festival Gala and the commencement of "An Unforgettable Night." Hence, both Han Mingyue and Zhen Yan turned towards her, loudly saying, "Happy New Year!"

Zhen Yu smiled, happily responding to them with, "Happy New Year!"

After exchanging blessings, naturally, it’s time to start eating!

But at that moment, Zhen Yu’s phone rang inappropriately.

So Zhen Yu had no choice but to quietly set down her bowl of porridge and glance at her phone.

Exactly who has such impeccable timing! Calling her right when every household is sitting down to eat dumplings at midnight!

"Bai Xue?" After looking at it, Zhen Yu frowned and spat out the name!

This shouldn’t be happening! She had said earlier she’d wait until tomorrow to call me?

Oh right! It’s past midnight, technically tomorrow now! Yet, something still feels off...

——

The phone had rung several times already, and Zhen Yu didn’t have time to think more, she simply pressed the answer button.

"Bai Xue?"

"Xiao Yu! Happy New Year!"

A male voice came through the phone, and Zhen Yu almost instantly guessed who it was!

Then she replied directly with just, "Happy New Year!"

Immediately, Zhen Yu tossed the phone still in call onto the bed!

And shouted loudly, "Brother, it’s Fu Yu on the phone!"

Zhen Yan looked up dumbfounded, "Huh?"

He hadn’t grasped the situation yet, naturally not moving from his place.

So Zhen Yu glared at her brother without speaking! The implication being—get on with it and answer the phone!!

Fortunately, Han Mingyue finally turned around slowly, grabbed the phone and shoved it into Zhen Yan’s hand!

Then quietly went back to eating his meal.

Only then did Zhen Yu satisfactorily pick up her bowl and started drinking her porridge.

Poor Zhen Yan finally realized what was happening.

But the phone was already in his hands, and his sister and Han Mingyue clearly wanted him to handle this!

So he had no choice but to become the bad guy...

"Hey! Fu Yu, at this hour, aren’t you supposed to be at the table eating dumplings? Why call?"

Fu Yu didn’t answer, and instead directly requested, "Zhen Yan! Let Xiao Yu take the call!"

Zhen Yan was taken aback! Then said, "Huh? Her? She went to the bathroom! If you have anything, just tell me, it’s the same!"

Unfortunately, Fu Yu evidently wasn’t easy to fool! Because he didn’t believe Zhen Yan’s lie at all and continued insisting, "Let her take the call! I don’t have much to say, just want to hear her voice."

Zhen Yan: "..."

Brother, your actions make things really difficult for me...

——

After a second of quick thinking, Zhen Yan resignedly set down his chopsticks and got up to leave the ward.

Because once the ward door closed, people inside and outside couldn’t hear each other’s conversation.

Coming to the hallway, Zhen Yan immediately changed his tone and spoke earnestly, "Didn’t I already tell you not to try approaching her anymore? It’s useless! Her eyes only have Han Mingyue, no one else! Especially not you! Why torture yourself like this?"

Fu Yu remained silent.

Zhen Yan was extremely helpless!

"Every time you call me, you ask about her! Every time, I give you the same answer! Why can’t you let go!? When we were kids, I didn’t see you liking my sister that much! If you truly did, why didn’t you act sooner? Han Mingyue has been shielding Xiao Yu like she’s a treasure since childhood! And you? You couldn’t wish for anything more than bullying her to death! With that kind of treatment, how can you ever compare to Han Mingyue?"

"I," Fu Yu said bitterly, "I was young, didn’t even know why I liked bullying her!"

"That’s why you have no chance! You never had a chance! How many times have I told you! Apart from Han Mingyue, I’ve never seen Xiao Yu give any guy who pursues her a good look! If you didn’t end up exposing yourself so completely, maybe everyone could’ve kept pretending to be friends. But the problem is, now that she knows your feelings, she’s becoming wary of you! Do you understand the concept that spilled water can’t be gathered..."

——

After a long silence, Fu Yu still asked unyieldingly, "I understand! But can we really not even be friends?"

"What’s the point? Who wouldn’t see through your intentions? If she really went along with you, what would Han Mingyue think?!"

After countless times, Zhen Yan was really worn out, practically losing his patience with Fu Yu.

"It’s just like when you show a box claiming it’s full of candies! If you don’t open it, no one knows for sure! But once you ’snap’ it open, turns out it’s full of fly poison! Even if they’re sweet, she sure won’t be foolish enough to eat them! Not to mention tasting them, she wouldn’t ever even think of touching them!"

"You, your analogy’s wrong! Fly poison is toxic! I wouldn’t ever harm Xiao Yu!" Fu Yu argued strongly!

"What more do you want? With your constant attempts to reach her, you’ve already annoyed her! The best thing you can do now is stop disturbing her! Remember Ling Yang from my dorm? I’ve mentioned he pursued Xiao Yu during High School, now he doesn’t even try anymore! You know why? After Xiao Yu learned he was my dorm mate, she deliberately found an opportunity to call my landline when I wasn’t there! Asking my roommates to tell me,’She and her boyfriend are going back home over the weekend to enjoy each other’s company, so I shouldn’t interrupt!’"

"Does that sound like human speech? How can anyone hear that and not think more? To reject someone, she was willing to risk her own reputation! Luckily, our schools are far apart! Honestly, sigh!"

After listening to Zhen Yan’s words, Fu Yu only felt emptiness inside!

"She, she and Han Mingyue really,..."

"No way!" Zhen Yan decisively replied, yet immediately followed with, "Though it’s just a matter of time!"

"So just let go! Stop pining after her! Your priority now should be the college entrance exams..."
