Chapter 532: Chapter 532
"How’s your search going?" Han Mingyue felt that she could no longer continue the conversation with the editor opposite her, so she suddenly leaned on the back of Zhen Yu’s chair and asked.
At that moment, Zhen Yu was browsing a forum called Tianya, and without even turning her head, she said, "Sword Book Alliance has just been established, and its popularity is still very low! Nothing else much, I suggest we keep watching it."
Han Mingyue nodded, "That’s what I thought too! What are you looking at?"
"This forum isn’t bad, we could also post our novel here!" Zhen Yu finally let go of her mouse, turned to Han Mingyue and said.
"Are you sure we can do that!?" Han Mingyue asked, widening her eyes in surprise.
Hearing this, Zhen Yu suddenly stretched out her hand and pinched the flesh on his cheek, shaking it up and down with a smile in her eyes, "Doesn’t it seem like it?"
Han Mingyue was pinched into a daze.
"Since we haven’t signed with any website, of course we can post wherever we want!" Zhen Yu said, then let go of her hand and turned her attention back to the computer.
But Han Mingyue was still staring at her intently, motionless and silent!
Unfortunately, Zhen Yu was completely unaware of this.
While she was taking out her USB flash drive filled with their novel to insert into the computer, she also urged Han Mingyue, "Did you bring the flash drive with our novel? If you did, post it quickly! Don’t we still need to go home for dinner?"
"Oh, oh! I brought it..."
What Han Mingyue meant by bringing it was that he only brought the floppy disk with the second part of the novel.
When the three of them were about to leave, Zhen Yu handed over the paper with her registered Tianya Forum account and the USB flash drive containing the first part of the novel to Li Si, telling him to find time every day to post two Chapters to the forum!
Since Han Mingyue didn’t bring the USB flash drive with the first part of the novel, he had no choice but to find time to deliver it the next day.
When the three of them returned to the Han Family home it was already dark, and of course, they couldn’t avoid a good earful from Mrs. Han!
The food was ready, and everyone sat down to eat after washing their hands.
Mrs. Han sat down but didn’t rush to eat, instead she started by saying, "Ming Yue! After discussing it with your father, we’ve decided to let you go to the Capital with Zhen Yan! Just like you said, go out and broaden your horizons!"
Han Mingyue immediately smiled upon hearing this, "Thank you, Mom and Dad!"
Zhen Yu was also quite happy inside! But she didn’t show it, just silently eating her rice.
But then Mrs. Han turned her head and started talking to her!
"Xiao Yu! Auntie knows that you and your brother are going to buy a house! This isn’t your first time buying a house, you both have experience! If Ming Yue doesn’t understand something, explain it to him! He’s grown up now, he should listen, observe, and learn more! Social experience is also an important lesson in life!"
"Mhm! I will, Auntie!" Zhen Yu nodded obediently.
Her obedient and sensible appearance was just so endearing to Mrs. Han! She almost wished she could immediately have her eldest son marry the girl and bring her home!
Unfortunately, that wasn’t possible! They were still both too young...
The dinner was incredibly warm, and after finishing the meal, Han Mingyue took the initiative to offer to walk Zhen Yu home.
After a leisurely walk back to the neighbourhood where the new house was located, Zhen Yu stood at the curb and took out a simple map...
When Han Mingyue saw what was drawn on the map, he couldn’t help but laugh so hard he doubled over. "Hahaha... Xiao Yu, let me have a look..." Follow current novels on novel·fire.net
Zhen Yu was laughed into embarrassment, but still argued forcefully: "I’m just not used to the route to the new house yet!"
Han Mingyue tried hard to stifle her laughter and said: "I guess it’s because these buildings all look so similar! Next time you can’t find your way home, just come to me, and I’ll bring you back!"
"You can remember the way just by going there once?"
Despite rushing to the train station to buy tickets as soon as Zhen Yan’s winter vacation dates were confirmed, in the end, they could only manage to snatch one lower bunk. The remaining two were a middle bunk and an upper bunk.
That was it! And only because the Spring Festival travel rush hadn’t started yet, plus the half-price student discount only applied to hard seats! That’s how the two were able to quickly buy three hard sleeper tickets!
The night before departure, Zhen Yu specifically called Han Mingyue to their home and, in front of Zhen Yan, pulled out three mobile phones and placed them on the table. "There you go! One for each person!"
"Little sister?" Zhen Yan’s expression was filled with confusion.
"The Capital is too big! Having phones makes it easier to contact each other! Besides, we’re going to buy a house! How could we not have a way to keep in touch? What if the people who sell the house need to contact us?!"
Han Mingyue nodded in agreement and quickly picked up the black one to ask: "How does this work?"
Seeing that her brother hadn’t moved, Zhen Yu grabbed the silver one and started teaching Han Mingyue how to turn it on.
It was then that Zhen Yan picked up the remaining dark blue one and started learning along with them.
The old model flip phones didn’t have many features, so Zhen Yu just taught the simplest ones and left the rest for them to figure out slowly.
Perhaps it was the novelty that hadn’t worn off yet! That very night after Han Mingyue got home, she sent Zhen Yu several text messages! This resulted in Zhen Yu almost falling asleep but having to open her eyes to reply.
On the day of the trip, no one saw them off. After lunch, the three of them each shouldering a backpack boarded the train. Even though Qi City was the starting station, the green train was still jam-packed with people brushing against one another, and the hard sleeper carriage was no exception!
The three bunks for them weren’t neatly arranged in a single stack, but luckily they were all in the same compartment. When Han Mingyue found their spot, a guy was sitting on their lower bunk.
As soon as he saw someone approaching, he immediately stood up! After a moment of hesitation, he climbed onto the middle bunk on the same side and lay down.
It was then that Han Mingyue took off her backpack and placed it on the middle bunk across, signalling to Zhen Yan and Zhen Yu to sit down quickly.
"Xiao Yu, you sleep on the lower bunk! It’s more convenient." After the three of them sat down in a row, Zhen Yan spoke up first.
Zhen Yu opened her mouth as if to say something, but seeing the approving look from Han Mingyue, she nodded in agreement. Seeing this, Zhen Yan continued to allocate: "I’ll take the upper bunk! Han Mingyue, you can have the middle bunk across!"
"I’ll take the upper bunk! You’re a big guy, it would be too cramped up there."
Han Mingyue spoke logically, but Zhen Yan retorted: "What’s cramped? Isn’t the lower bunk the same! It’s settled then, I’m taking the upper bunk!"
Seeing that Han Mingyue still wanted to be polite, Zhen Yu suddenly spoke up, "Just let him be! Stop arguing."
No sooner had the three finished arranging their bunks, than people arrived for the opposite lower bunk.
It was a male and female, appearing to be a university student couple.
As soon as the couple took their seats on the lower bunk, the small compartment immediately seemed overwhelmingly crowded.
Zhen Yan promptly stood up and said: "I’ll go sit in the aisle!"
Han Mingyue also got up and said: "I’m going to lie on the middle bunk. Take your shoes off, stretch your legs, and read for a bit."
