Chapter 562: Chapter 562

Mrs. Han’s call went directly to her son’s mobile phone, and Han Mingyue hung up after barely speaking a few words.

"Um? Did Aunt ask you for something?"

Zhen Yu thought Mrs. Han was calling Han Mingyue to come home!

"No! My mom wanted to invite you and Zhen Yan to our house for New Year’s, but I saw Aunt Cheng outside, so you guys..."

Zhen Yu sighed, "Since she’s already here, my brother and I won’t go to your house then."

"Yeah." Han Mingyue knew in his heart that Zhen Yu would probably make that decision. So he just ended the topic and switched to talking about school starting soon.

"School is starting soon, do you have any plans?"

"What plan?" Zhen Yu didn’t quite understand which aspect Han Mingyue was asking about.

Han Mingyue hinted, "There are quite a few people you know in Class 2!"

"Oh! Well, ’the well water does not interfere with the river water’!"

"I’m just afraid others might not think the same!"

"Are you talking about Gu Qing? Isn’t she busy dating Hong Ruixiang?"

Han Mingyue pursed his lips, "...I meant Kang Jian."

"Him?!" Zhen Yu was about to say that this person had ulterior motives in approaching her! But the words almost left her mouth when she swallowed them back.

Seeing her speak only one word and then stopping, Han Mingyue suddenly felt somewhat aggrieved!

Originally, Class 1 and Class 2’s classrooms were right next to each other, especially concerning matters related to Zhen Yu.

He had also heard the rumors about Kang Jian always trying to cozy up to Zhen Yu, but he was just too embarrassed to ask her directly!

But now that he brought it up so ’obviously,’ she still didn’t plan to discuss it with him?

Just as Han Mingyue was hesitating whether to clarify things, Zhen Yu spoke up!

"I’ll confront him when school starts! Let him stay wherever it’s cool!"

What Zhen Yu meant by ’confronting him’ was that she planned to subtly point out the situation to Kang Jian!

But these words caused Han Mingyue’s eyes to light up, and he asked subconsciously, "Really?"

"Of course it’s true!" Zhen Yu’s expression showed some disdain, and she muttered softly, "Isn’t being single more enjoyable!?"

"Ah! Just ignore irrelevant people! Wouldn’t it be better to do something else with the time!"

Around noon, Han Mingyue said his goodbyes.

Mrs. Zhen made a half-hearted effort to keep him, but Han Mingyue didn’t take it seriously and soon left the Zhen Family alone.

Although Zhen Yu didn’t have a high opinion of her own mother, she still couldn’t just sit around doing nothing and wait to be fed! So after seeing Han Mingyue out, she went straight to the kitchen and asked, "What’s for lunch? I’ll handle it!"

"No need! Leave it!" Mrs. Zhen quickly refused: "I’ve already cooked the rice, and the vegetables are washed and chopped, just need to cook them! If you have time, go help your brother watch Xiao Ci!"

Three seconds later, she turned and headed towards her brother’s bedroom.

Honestly! Being alone with Mrs. Zhen was indeed awkward for her! Better to go see the kids! But seeing the kids was secondary, the main thing was to have a chat with her brother.

It was broad daylight, nothing to avoid, Zhen Yu casually knocked and pushed open the door, "Bro!"

"Little sister, are you finally taking a break?! How much more do you need to finish your manuscript?" Zhen Yan was really concerned about his sister’s manuscript! After all, it’s going to be published! Published! How many people have that kind of capability!

"Almost there! I’ll definitely finish it before school starts!" Zhen Yu answered while walking toward her brother, and she also glanced at the small baby encircled by pillows and a quilt on the bed.

The child, quietly moving about without crying, left Zhen Yu puzzled, so she asked, "Why is he so quiet? Didn’t he used to cry as soon as he was put down?"

"Hey! That was a long time ago! He’s long stopped making a fuss!" Zhen Yan, who visits their mother’s place more often, knew more about the child’s changes. "Mom said he gradually got better. She suddenly noticed one day that the child had become much better behaved!"

"That’s good news!" Zhen Yu sincerely expressed.

"Have you decided when to take him to Harbin for a checkup?"

"Mom said the eighth day of the month! The seventh is a holiday, we need to spend it at home."

"Hmm!" Zhen Yu nodded to show she understood and didn’t dwell further on the matter.

Because her demeanor was so calm at the moment, Zhen Yan hesitated a bit, still decided to call her, "Well, little sister!"

Zhen Yu understood him, "Something on your mind? Just say it."

Zhen Yan found it a bit hard to spit it out, "You, you and Han Mingyue... you two... uh..."

Seeing her brother stammer, Zhen Yu felt almost exhausted for him and urged, "What do you want to ask? Can’t you just say it directly?"

"Uh... well..." Zhen Yan also wanted to speak directly! But the question he wanted to ask, as a brother, he just couldn’t spit it out!

A thought struck Zhen Yu instantly! What between her and Han Mingyue could make Zhen Yan hesitant to ask?!

Just thinking about it made her face turn red!

"That’s enough, don’t ask! I know what you mean! I’ll be mindful of the boundaries!"

Now even Zhen Yan felt embarrassed along with his sister. Googlᴇ search NoveI★Fire.net

Luckily, it was only a short while before he thought of changing the topic as a tactic!

"Well, little sister! Mom said she wants to move in early!"

Zhen Yu quickly turned her head, "Where would she sleep? What about Aunt Li?!"

"Well, since the child isn’t fussy anymore! Mom means to just have Aunt Li help during the day and she can go back to her own house at night."

"..." Zhen Yu frowned and thought for a bit, "And then?"

Zhen Yan, feeling somewhat uneasy, still stated directly, "Then Mom and the child could sleep in my room, and I could sleep on the couch or go to that rented apartment of hers."

Once he finished speaking, Zhen Yu was silent for a long time.

Only after a good two or three minutes did she raise her head and say, "Okay! You go stay at her place! Leave early on the second day and return only to send her to Harbin on the eighth. Apart from that, stay back to study. Don’t come back until school starts!"

Zhen Yan was startled, "What about you?!"

"I’m also going into seclusion! Apart from eating and bathroom breaks, I’ll be spending all day locked in my bedroom working on my manuscript! I’ll make a call in a bit, telling Han Mingyue not to come before school starts!"

At this moment, he felt like his little scheming had been exposed, but he didn’t want to reject his sister’s suggestion.

After all, the winter break had been really long, and his sister and Han Mingyue had been inseparable every day! It was time to spend a few days apart! Even if they weren’t tired of each other, he was tired of being the third wheel!

Moreover, what mom said was indeed correct, who knows whether Han Mingyue could actually become his brother-in-law in the future! When it’s time to be mindful of boundaries, it’s necessary to be just that!
