Chapter 597: Chapter 596: Don’t Leave After School!
Although she was injured on the head, fortunately Zhen Yu had grown her hair out a bit longer. So even when she had to take off her hat during classes, her appearance did not reveal anything.
Thus, with classmates casting unusual glances, Zhen Yu completed morning study and the first two morning classes, and then the time for Monday’s flag-raising ceremony arrived.
Facing the nine o’clock sun, the students stood neatly aligned on the sports field.
The broadcast carried the familiarly sweet and cloying voice of Gu Qing, while Lu Mei, standing diagonally in front, couldn’t stop throwing glances as if she wanted her eyeballs to stick to her; Zhen Yu felt her whole state of being was off!
Although she remained stoic and looked straight ahead until the end of the flag-raising ceremony, deep down she was far from as calm as she appeared on the surface.
If it weren’t for the cooperative relationship with Factory Director Lu, she would really like to find time to put Lu Mei in a sack and drag her into a corner to give her a beating in advance!
But at this moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone, she could only mutter a few words in her heart to diffuse some anger!
"Damn your granny’s leg! Look! Still looking! Can’t get enough, huh?! Stop looking! Dammit! What kind of look is that in your eyes!? That’s unbearable... Uncle Zhen... I can bear it!"
As soon as it was over, Zhen Yu immediately took off without hesitation, ignoring anyone calling her from behind as if she heard nothing!
And then... then Lu Huai freaking came to Class 2 to find her!
"Zhen Yu! Zhen Yu, come out! Zhen Yu..." Lu Huai peeked into the Class 2 doorway, waving and calling to her.
Hearing the call, Zhen Yu looked up at Lu Huai with displeasure, not even showing interest in getting up but simply gestured with her eyes for him to scram immediately! We can talk during the lunch break!
She was full of irritation! She had no mood to deal with him!
But for some reason, either because of the distance or something else, it was as if Lu Huai didn’t receive the signals Zhen Yu was sending! Since she kept not coming out, he just kept standing at the door, calling for her!
Even when Zhen Yu glared at him several times and dramatically shook her head to signal him to leave, he acted as if he didn’t see.
——
But was Zhen Yu someone who would easily compromise?!
She could touch her conscience and say—yes!
But that depends on who it is!
If it were Han Mingyue, everything could be discussed! But if it was Lu Huai, then sorry, it’s not so easy!
He’s not significant enough...
So once Zhen Yu made up her mind not to go out, she just sat firmly in her seat without moving an inch! Even when she glared at Lu Huai a few times and found that he had no intention of leaving, she simply lowered her head and started reading a book.
If he wanted to keep calling, let him! Anyway, she’ll just pretend she didn’t hear it and let it be!
Only with her doing this, Lu Huai’s situation started to look rather awkward.
Han Mingyue, sitting next to Zhen Yu, seeing that the two remained at a stand-off, wanted to stand up and say something, "Let me go check it out!"
But just as he had barely started to stand up, someone else beat him to it!
Lu Mei, sitting diagonally in front of him, suddenly slammed her desk, stood up, turned to Zhen Yu, and yelled, "Zhen Yu, are you deaf?! Lu Huai has called you several times at the door? Didn’t you hear him calling you out? What’s wrong with you?! Are you looking down on someone?!"
As soon as she spoke up, the whole classroom fell silent!
Zhen Yu barely curled her lip, too lazy to even lift her head up to look at her, let alone reply to her words.
For people who stand and talk without back pain, the greatest counterattack is to ignore her! Completely treat her as air!
Yet in that silence, Han Mingyue suddenly stood up and said softly (the classroom was too quiet, so at least those nearby could hear), uttering the words he had wanted to say earlier, "Let me go check it out!"
"Don’t go!" Zhen Yu didn’t even think about it before she raised her hand and grabbed Han Mingyue’s trouser leg!
Just as she was about to forcefully pull him to sit down, her hand suddenly paused... and then she commanded in an imperious tone: "Sit down right now!"
Hearing the ’Voice that was already angry’, Han Mingyue immediately sat back down obediently.
——
The whole scene was witnessed by Lu Mei, who was staring at Zhen Yu with anger, and it just made her even angrier!
She was not unaware of the subtle relationship between Han Mingyue and Zhen Yu, but even if it was subtle, Zhen Yu shouldn’t be bullying people! Especially not bullying Han Mingyue!
The pure-hearted girls always protect their crushes with all their might! So without even thinking, Lu Mei immediately started yelling again!
"What are you doing, Zhen Yu! Why are you shouting at Han Mingyue!? He’s kindly helping you, and you’re actually bullying him! Are you out of your mind?!"
Not only did she bring up Han Mingyue but also compared her to a ginseng rooster?
Zhen Yu, who had been keeping her anger bottled up, was truly provoked by Lu Mei this time!
Not once but twice!
You keep doing it over and over again! Had enough yet?!
Thought I was a pushover, huh!
If I get angry, no matter who your dear father is...
——
While Han Mingyue was still shocked by Zhen Yu jumping up from her seat, Lu Mei’s howling was already timely resounding!
"Ah!! Let me go! Are you crazy, Zhen Yu!" Lu Mei, who was grabbed by the arm and pushed onto the table, yelled out in fright.
"Zhen Yu!" Outside the classroom door, Lu Huai also yelled out and rushed into Class 2’s classroom without saying another word!
It’s not that he was slow to react, but he was stunned by Lu Mei confronting Zhen Yu for his sake!
By the time he realized something was amiss, he only heard the brief exchange between Zhen Yu and Han Mingyue!
At that moment, his heart went cold!
Then, he had a moment of self-pity!
And after that, he heard his cousin starting to court death with her antics again...
"Stop it, Zhen Yu!" Lu Huai, rushing to Zhen Yu’s side, anxiously scratched his head but didn’t dare to pull Zhen Yu away. Thankfully he still knew to quickly explain, "It’s like the flood has washed over the Dragon King Temple; our own people don’t recognize each other! I forgot to tell you,"
"Who’s your own people! Were you blind when I was giving you signals? Couldn’t understand what I meant?!" Zhen Yu didn’t give Lu Huai any face, and shut him up with her first words!
Lu Huai came to find her because he urgently needed to ask Zhen Yu for something! Moreover, he did understand her signals just now but still wanted to coerce Zhen Yu to go!
Feeling guilty, Lu Huai could only apologize profusely: "I was wrong! Isn’t that enough? Please, let go of my cousin! I’m begging you!"
"Your cousin?!" Zhen Yu suddenly turned her head to glance at Lu Huai, then immediately twisted her face back again!
"Your cousin my foot! Unless you can make her mind her own business from now on, otherwise shut up and stay out of the way where it’s cool!"
But then Lu Mei timely added, "Lu Huai, don’t waste your breath on her! Hurry up and tell the teacher!"
