After leaving Factory Director Lu with the contact number of the internet cafe, Zhen Yu took Han Mingyue and left.
Once they were downstairs, the young couple immediately hailed a cab and headed straight to the small house that Zhen Yan had just bought.
Zhen Yu had just started her winter break and hadn’t moved anything yet! So, after they got out of the taxi on the street, they casually found a noodle shop and settled their lunch.
"Let’s go! I’ll take you to see my new home!"
After enjoying their meal, Zhen Yu took Han Mingyue, who had just paid for the meal, and walked towards her new residence.
However, after five minutes, she still couldn’t find exactly which building her new house was in!
So, she couldn’t help but scratch her head!
"Hey? Isn’t it here? I clearly remember coming through this road..."
The old buildings didn’t even have numbers on them, making it very hard for Zhen Yu to find her way!
And since today wasn’t a weekend, there were hardly any people around the apartment buildings to ask for directions.
Seeing the situation, Han Mingyue spoke up, "Forget it! Let’s stop looking and just go to my place instead!"
Zhen Yu puffed her cheeks but had no choice but to agree with him.
However, this meant that her plan to move out of the dormitory this afternoon was definitely going down the drain... It looks like she can only wait until after school tonight to ask Zhen Yan how to get there once inside the community!
Outside it was bitterly cold, but inside the Han Family Pharmacy, it was warm as spring.
As soon as they entered, Mrs. Han who was sitting behind the counter began to greet them warmly.
"How come it took so long to send someone back? Have you two had lunch yet? If not, Ming Yue, go and heat it up quickly! It’s all ready!"
"Mom, we’ve eaten already," Han Mingyue quickly responded.
Zhen Yu also nodded in agreement, "Yes, we’ve eaten already, Auntie!"
"Oh! You did eat! Well then, you guys can go upstairs! Jiaoyang is up there too!"
Han Mingyue casually nodded and agreed, while Zhen Yu politely said, "Then we’ll go upstairs, Auntie!" ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novｅlfire.net
"Go ahead! I can keep an eye on the store by myself."
Han Jiayang, who was on junior year winter break, was currently in the only bedroom upstairs watching television.
Hearing the door, he turned his head to look, saw his brother and Zhen Yu coming in, and didn’t pay more attention but continued focusing on his TV series.
Zhen Yu and Han Mingyue then sat on the edge of the bed with their back towards the television and started chatting casually.
As they talked, Zhen Yu started telling Han Mingyue about her and Zhen Yan’s upcoming trip to the Capital.
"How long will you be going?"
"...I guess, at least a week! After all, it’s not that easy to find the right house! Even through an agency,"
Before Zhen Yu could finish speaking, Han Mingyue suddenly interrupted, "I want to go too!"
"What?! What for?" Zhen Yu was a bit stunned.
Han Mingyue took a deep breath.
Those four words were a spur-of-the-moment outburst! And once he said them, he couldn’t stop himself from thinking about going to the Capital!
"I want... to broaden my horizons! To see the legendary Beijing University and Qinghua University!"
Zhen Yu frowned slightly, "I don’t mind, but would Uncle and Aunt agree?"
Han Mingyue bit her lower lip, glanced swiftly at her brother engrossed in watching TV, then suddenly leaned close to Zhen Yu’s ear, covering her mouth with her hand and whispered, "Can you help me convince them?"
This faint whisper, tinged with a bit of coquettish tone, suddenly made Zhen Yu’s face turn beet red! It was so red it looked as if it was about to bleed!
After Han Mingyue finished speaking, she straightened up and caught sight of this scene. After a moment’s reaction, she pressed her lips together and broke into a smile. While smiling, she quietly grabbed Zhen Yu’s hand...
It took a while for the redness on Zhen Yu’s face to subside a bit.
She tried to pull her hand away, but couldn’t. So, she had no choice but to whisper to Han Mingyue, "Let go!"
"Not letting go!" Han Mingyue whispered back, "Agree to help me first, then I’ll let go."
Still, Han Mingyue didn’t release her hand! Instead, he feigned confusion, saying, "Okay what?"
"Okay my head! Do you still want to go or not?! Let go already!" Zhen Yu exclaimed angrily!
Han Mingyue intentionally showed Zhen Yu an aggrieved expression first, then quickly let go of her hand.
This made Zhen Yu feel a bit embarrassed! She couldn’t help but reflect, wondering if she had been too harsh on Han Mingyue...
Actually, just holding hands wasn’t a big deal for Zhen Yu, but the key issue was—Han Mingyue was always flirting with her! Moreover, there was Han Jiayang sitting right behind them in the same room!
This feeling, akin to secret love affairs, how could one word ’awkward’ suffice?!
Since they reached an agreement, Zhen Yu and Han Mingyue went together from the bedroom to the second-floor hall to find Mr. Han.
There was only one patient receiving an IV, an old man over fifty, and Mr. Han was chatting leisurely with him.
Zhen Yu stopped at a respectful distance and waited, while Han Mingyue approached Mr. Han and whispered something in his ear.
It was unclear what he said, but Mr. Han stood up after hearing it, walked over to Zhen Yu, and waved for them to follow him into the bedroom for a talk.
Once Zhen Yu closed the bedroom door, Mr. Han finally began, "Speak! What is it?"
"Dad! I want to take Xiao Yu and Zhen Yan to the Capital!"
"To the Capital?" Mr. Han reacted immediately, "Xiao Yu, you and your brother are going to the Capital? For what?!"
"We want to buy a house!"
"Buy a house? Why would you suddenly want to buy a house in the Capital?" Mr. Han felt somewhat puzzled.
"Both mine and my brother’s target universities are in the Capital, so we thought of taking advantage of the current low property prices to buy a house now! Otherwise, we might not afford it later." Zhen Yu intentionally hid a lot of critical information in her words, believing Mr. Han could understand the implied message.
But unexpectedly, Mr. Han thought even deeper than what she had said, "You... are you planning to settle in the Capital after graduating from university?"
"That... I haven’t really thought that far yet!" Zhen Yu replied honestly.
"How could you not think about it! If you’re just studying in the Capital and leaving afterward, why would you even want to buy a house there!"
For Zhen Yu, this question was both easy and difficult to answer.
Hesitating for a moment, Zhen Yu finally chose a middle ground! She half-truthfully said, "Since we are going to university in the Capital, the possibility of staying there after graduation should be more than half! So, it’s better to buy first! Worst case, we can sell it after graduation, it’s a no-loss deal anyway!"
"How do you know it’s a no-loss deal?!" Mr. Han asked seriously.
"Because property prices have been rising! Both our families’ shops are on the same street, you should have a good idea how much the price per square meter has increased!"
Mr. Han fell silent upon hearing this.
