Chapter 304: Zheng Yue Is Back
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
With inspiration, Yan Xiu’s efficiency could be said to have increased exponentially.
It only took a few hours and Murong Qiao could leave to sit in the warm living room of the Murong Residence.
“Fourth Young Master looks very happy.” Uncle Yang brought her a cup of hot tea.
Murong Qiao thanked him politely and took the teacup to warm her hands.
Hearing Uncle Yang’s sigh, she subconsciously glanced in the direction of the stairs on the second floor.
After returning, Yan Xiu shrank back into his studio and there was no more movement.
Murong Qiao was puzzled. “Happy?”
She thought about Fourth Brother’s expression just now. It was cold and serious. At most, he was a little more focused when painting.
Murong Qiao found it magical that Uncle Yang could tell if Yan Xiu was happy or not.
“Of course,” Uncle Yang explained with a smile. “It’s rare to see him not angry when he wakes up.”
Murong Qiao was surprised by this. She really couldn’t tell that Yan Xiu was angry when he woke up.
She and Uncle Yang made small talk, and a few days pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye.
When Murong Qiao returned to school, she gathered with Yang Xin and Leng Yan again. The three of them were like a solid triangle that was inseparable.
“I think there’s a new movie releasing next week. Let’s go watch it then!” Yang Xin was always a little expert at livening up the atmosphere.
Leng Yan’s eyes were warm. “Sure, but the premise is that you can pa.s.s the exam.”
Murong Qiao walked in front of the two of them and arrived at the dormitory door first.
The three of them entered one after another and sat on their beds to put the things away.
“How can 1 fail?” Yang Xin was unconvinced.
She had failed the last exam and delayed the subsequent arrangements. In the end, this matter made Leng Yan remember it for a long time.
Murong Qiao turned on the computer and interrupted, “So you’re very confident for Professor Murong’s cla.s.s?”
Her half-joking tone eased the atmosphere, diverting Yang Xin’s attention.
At the mention of Murong Chuan’s cla.s.s, everyone had a bitter expression on their faces, filled with despair for the exam.
“That’s not true,” Yang Xin muttered.
She would be grateful if she could pa.s.s.
As they spoke, there was suddenly a knock on the door and a gap was pushed open.
All three of them fell silent at the same time and looked at the door.
“Um… long time no see?”
As the door slowly opened, Zheng Yue, who was standing at the door, greeted the three of them.
Zheng Yue looked much better than before. Her skin was as white as rice paper, and her originally chubby face had a sharp chin. She was much thinner than before. She was dressed casually and stood at the door, making it difficult for them to recognize her.
‘Them’ were naturally referring to Yang Xin and Leng Yan. Murong Qiao had already heard from Zheng Yue that she was coming back.
“Welcome back.” Murong Qiao broke the silence first.
Zheng Yue smiled and walked in with her luggage. She was extremely polite.
It had been ten days since Zheng Yue’s facial repair. After confirming that the scars on her face could not be seen at all, Zheng Yue decided to return to school first.
Studying was the best way for her to earn money without losing anything.
Zheng Yue knew this very well.
“Welcome,” Leng Yan said.
Yang Xin was the last to react.
Usually, she was clearly the most enthusiastic and lively, but this time, Yang Xin was a step slower than Leng Yan.
She looked at Zheng Yue. “Welcome.”
She did not know if it was her imagination, but Yang Xin felt that Zheng Yue had become different.
She felt that her intuition had always been very accurate, but when her gaze landed on Zheng Yue, other than feeling that she had become more beautiful, her aura seemed to have changed, the kind that emanated from the inside out.
“Thank you for helping me maintain the hygiene of my area.” Zheng Yue thanked them.
She did not mention what she had been doing during the time she disappeared, and Yang Xin and Leng Yan did not ask.
Murong Qiao’s gaze swept across Zheng Yue’s face. The standard of that medical and beauty organization was better than she had expected.
To be honest, if not for the fact that she had seen Zheng Yue in a sorry state and covered in bandages previously, she would not have been able to guess what had happened to her.
The atmosphere in the dormitory was a rare silence because of Zheng Yue’s return.
Yang Xin and Leng Yan looked at each other before climbing onto the bed and saying that they were going to rest. Murong Qiao was busy typing and focused on the computer, while Zheng Yue slowly tidied up the bed after returning.
[What’s going on? She suddenly came back. 1 feel like she’s a different person.] Yang Xin secretly sent a message to the group of three.
Murong Qiao was focused on writing. Her cell phone was switched to silent mode, but Leng Yan saw a reply.
[I’m not sure. She’s all covered up.] Leng Yan told her what she had discovered.
Leng Yan had always been meticulous, so she also noticed Zheng Yue’s abnormality.
The temperature of the air conditioner in the dormitory was comfortable, and it was not cold outside, but Zheng Yue was wearing a long shirt and long sleeves, covering herself tightly. Other than her hands, no skin was exposed from the neck down.
It was a little strange.
The two of them communicated silently in the group. Zheng Yue’s return was like throwing a stone into the water, causing a wave before returning to calm.
At the same time, Murong Qiao’s birthday was gradually put on the agenda.
“There’s no need to make it very lively.” Murong Qiao pursed her lips. “It’s just a birthday…”
In order to celebrate his Little Sister’s birthday, Big Brother Murong Chen called her early. He was even more concerned about her than she was.
Murong Chen said dotingly and helplessly, “It’s because it’s your birthday that it has to be more lively.”
Over the years, they had missed Murong Qiao’s birthday too many times. This time, Murong Chen wished that everyone could come and congratulate Murong Qiao on her birthday.
“Some people from the main family will come. Many relatives are very curious about you.” Speaking of this, Murong Chen felt a little helpless.
Ever since Murong Qiao returned to the Murong Family, many people had been curious about her. Other than the banquet she attended previously, Murong Qiao had not met many people from the Murong Family.
Murong Qiao scratched her cheek in embarra.s.sment. “1 understand.”
When she heard Big Brother say that many people would be coming, she suddenly felt a little pressured about the birthday banquet.
If it was just her Big Brothers, she would be more relaxed. However, when she thought about how many people would come to the banquet…
It was clearly a call, but Murong Chen seemed to be standing in front of Murong Qiao and could guess her thoughts.
“Don’t be nervous. You just have to be a little princess.” Murong Chen softened his voice.
Murong Chen was still holding a doc.u.ment in his hand. His face was meticulous, making people feel stifled, but the voice he spoke with was so gentle that it was surprising.
“All right,” she agreed softly.
It was really difficult for her to refuse Big Brother’s kindness.
In her opinion, it was already very tiring for Big Brother to work in the company every day. Now, he had to help her prepare for her birthday party. Murong Qiao really couldn’t bear it.
“Even if it’s tiring, the five of us will be tired together.” Murong Chen smiled.
Not only him, but the others were also especially concerned about this birthday banquet.
After knowing that his Little Sister was going to celebrate her birthday, Xian Yu focused on pushing aside his work. He had been staying in the recording studio for the past two days and could not be seen. He said that he wanted to prepare a gift.
Murong Qiao chuckled. “1 only hope that everyone won’t be too tired.”
The corners of her lips curled up slightly. Hearing the hint of scheming in her Big Brother’s words, she couldn’t help but wonder what kind of “surprise” her Big Brothers would prepare for her.
However, on the other hand, Murong Qiao was also a little concerned about what Big Brother Murong Chen said.
Inviting the Murong Family?
It seemed that ever since she returned home, other than her Big Brothers and Uncle Yang, she had really not seen anyone from the Murong Family.
When Murong Qiao occasionally chatted with Uncle Yang previously, she learned from him that the Murong Family had eliminated her Big Brothers and herself.
She was already looking forward to her birthday..
