"Zhen Yu! You’re heading back to the dorm, right? Let’s walk together!" Just as Zhen Yu met up with Bai Xue, Hu Xi’s voice called out from behind her.
During this selection, all the other seven girls from Dorm 208 competed, including the most introverted Li Mengting!
Yet, only two were selected, including Li Mengting!
About this, Zhen Yu was quite astonished! So it seems, the power of love really is great?! Can it really help someone overcome their timidity and strive towards their desired one?
Unfortunately, her target choice was off.
If she wasn’t aiming for Han Mingyue! Zhen Yu might even applaud her courage!
Seeing that Han Mingyue, who was clueless about this, was walking towards her and Bai Xue, Zhen Yu, without turning back, refused: "We have something else to do! We’re leaving first!"
Before her words ended, Zhen Yu pulled Bai Xue to meet Han Mingyue, and they all headed straight out of the school gate.
Li Mengting was right beside Hu Xi at this moment.
Seeing this scene, her gaze instantly turned from hopeful to disheartened, becoming listless.
Hu Xi saw all this and had many thoughts in her heart, yet nothing showed on her face. "They went outside the campus, let’s go back to the dorm!"
Li Mengting actually wanted to follow them out of school! But since she just told Hu Xi that they were going back to the dorm, it wasn’t really appropriate to make it too obvious now, so she had to give up reluctantly.
Anyway, we’re going to dance together soon! She should be able to meet him soon!
Unfortunately, Zhen Yu’s soul was not a bashful young girl who dared not speak directly, but a sensible adult! So the little schemes of Li Mengting and Hu Xi were bound to fail.
Once they stepped out of the campus gate, Zhen Yu told Bai Xue and Han Mingyue, "The other seven girls in my dorm are very cunning, neither of you should contact them!"
Bai Xue immediately asked, "Including those two just now?!"
Bai Xue quickly showed concern, "They’re really cunning! Did you suffer any losses?!"
Zhen Yu tilted her head at her, "I’m pretty cunning too!"
Bai Xue suddenly realized! "Oh! Right! We aren’t afraid of them!"
Hearing this, Han Mingyue couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Zhen Yu suddenly gave him a disgruntled look, "Laughing! I’m warning you! Anyone who cozies up to you using my name is up to no good! Be wary! Don’t smile at them!"
Han Mingyue blinked dumbly at first, then suddenly seemed to understand something!
To confirm his thoughts, he repeated softly, "Don’t smile at anyone from your dorm, right?"
Zhen Yu was again ’charmed’ by Han Mingyue’s voice, quickly adding, "And don’t talk to them either!!"
"Heh! Hehe..." Han Mingyue turned his head to the side and chuckled, then forcefully suppressed his laughter, turned back seriously and promised, "I got it! Don’t worry!"
Zhen Yu felt a little embarrassed by Han Mingyue’s words, and without thinking blurted out awkwardly, "What peace of mind am I giving! It’s not aimed at me..."
Oops! Spoke too much!
Bai Xue and Han Mingyue only managed to exchange a ’That settles it!’ look, when Zhen Yu suddenly said sharply, "Let’s go! Don’t we still need to make a phone call?"
Han Mingyue and Bai Xue: "..."
Zhen Yu is obviously furious with embarrassment!
The call Bai Xue made was answered by Fu Yu, and surprisingly, he was studying at home!
After babbling a few words with him, Bai Xue asked him to fetch her mother to take the call.
Fortunately, Bai Xue’s mother was home for the weekend, so once Fu Yu brought her over, Mrs. Bai called Bai Xue back.
Upon hearing that her daughter wanted to enroll in a special class, Mrs. Bai’s first thought was—expensive!
She was raising two children on her own, and the hardships were unspeakable. Seeing that Bai Yong was also about to start elementary school soon, she couldn’t spend all the money on her daughter and neglect her son’s education!
"Xiao Xue! Mom really wants to support you in learning some skills, but you know our family situation. Your brother is starting elementary school soon, and the money...sigh!"
Initially enthusiastic, Bai Xue suddenly fell silent.
She was already in high school and knew well how hard it was for her mother to earn enough to support her and her brother alone. It was just her excitement that had made her overlook this aspect! Hearing her mother mention it, Bai Xue immediately realized her mistake; she shouldn’t have added to her mother’s burdens!
So, she quickly changed her tone: "Mom! It’s okay! I was just asking! If I can’t learn, then I won’t! I’ll just focus on my studies!" After saying this lengthy declaration, Bai Xue took a deep breath!
It seemed she was trying to exhale the frustration in her heart as well.
On the other end of the phone, Mrs. Bai was a bit choked up.
Her daughter might not be the brightest, but she was truly beautiful and kind-hearted! It was a pity she was born to her. If only she had been born into a wealthy family... Ah, nevermind!
"Xue! You study hard! It’s not that mom is unwilling to spend money on you, but if we spend all we have now, what will happen when you and your brother go to college!"
"Mom! I understand! Don’t worry! I’ll work really hard!" Bai Xue replied cheerfully, masking her feelings.
"Then I’m going to hang up! Eat well! And don’t mess around with strangers! Just stay close to Zhen Yu! Good friends are hard to come by!" Mrs. Bai advised worriedly.
"I know, mom! You can hang up now!" Bai Xue responded lightly and obediently.
Unfortunately, as soon as the handset was placed down, her shoulders slumped.
Zhen Yu, who practiced martial arts year-round and had keen hearing, had overheard every word of the conversation between the Bai family mother and daughter!
It was at this moment that Zhen Yu realized she had been thoughtless! Not every family could leverage the advantage of being reborn and become wealthy.
Since paying for classes was not an option, Zhen Yu could only think of another way to help Bai Xue!
This method was naturally herself!
Seeing that the call was finally over, Zhen Yu directly asked, "Bai Xue! How about I teach you guqin?"
Bai Xue, who was disheartened and looking down, suddenly lifted her head towards Zhen Yu!
"You would teach me?! But, but I don’t have a guqin!"
Without a second thought, Zhen Yu said, "I’ll gift you one!"
Bai Xue was stunned! A few seconds later, she burst into tears and threw herself at Zhen Yu! Regardless of Zhen Yu’s resistance, she forcefully hugged her, crying and laughing, shouting, "Xiao Yu! Xiao Yu! Xiao Yu!"
She was so happy she didn’t know what else to say!
Zhen Yu helplessly glanced at the schadenfreude-filled Han Mingyue, but still ’reluctantly’ allowed Bai Xue to ’rummage’ through her for a good while...
