Chapter 157: Chapter 156 Uncle Sun is Really a Good Person

Perhaps because she was about to become a teacher, Lin Nianhe recently found herself with much more patience and fondness for children than before.

She caught sight of the little boy’s dangerous move, and her hand reacted faster than her brain—

Lin Nianhe reached out and grabbed the back collar of the little boy, yanking him backwards with force.

The little boy didn’t bump his head, but he fell on his bottom.

He blinked his big, pitch-black eyes, looking bewilderedly at Lin Nianhe, his mouth slightly open, as if contemplating whether to cry or not.

Hearing the increasingly close footsteps of the little boy’s mom, Lin Nianhe glanced at the little one again and suddenly felt that things were going to be bad.

This was a blind spot, and the child’s mother couldn’t see that he almost bumped his head.

She could only see her child had fallen, with only Lin Nianhe beside him.

If the child couldn’t explain properly, his mother would most likely think it was Lin Nianhe who made him fall.

It took Lin Nianhe only 0.01 seconds to realize the terrible predicament she was about to face.

According to her understanding, a child being tripped ranks just behind honking at someone who then gets scared, particularly if it’s an elderly lady with a heart condition.

Lin Nianhe steadied herself and said, "Why aren’t you careful when you walk? Don’t you know you can’t run and jump on the train? Look at you, if I hadn’t happened to pull you back just now, your eyes would have hit the corner of the table!"

She had no experience and didn’t know if taking the initiative like this would be effective.

But she felt that as long as she wasn’t completely passive, there was still room to maneuver.

The little boy sat on the floor, his budding tears confused by Lin Nianhe’s words.

The tears hung on his eyelashes, uncertain whether they should fall.

At this moment, the child’s mother also arrived.

Lin Nianhe quickly sized her up, trying to analyze the woman’s personality from her appearance.

Short hair, very slim, but with a round face that appeared plump. A cheerful look, what the elderly would call a blessed appearance. Her skin was somewhat rough-looking, seeming to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, but considering the little boy’s age, she probably was a few years younger.

Before Lin Nianhe could make her deduction, the round-faced lady picked up the little boy. Without saying a word, she smacked his bottom twice.

Lin Nianhe: "...?"

The round-faced sister scolded him, poking the child’s forehead, "All day long you just jump around recklessly, why don’t you just break your bottom into eight pieces? Just keep acting up, just keep it up! Let’s see if I ever take you out again!"

The little boy had been spanked and scolded, and his tears finally decided to leave the eyelashes, falling drop by drop.

Just as he started to cry out, his mom pointed at his nose and said, "You hold those tears back in!"

The little boy, stopped crying.

Lin Nianhe: "...?"

This plot development was completely different from what she had anticipated.

The round-faced lady lifted her son by the arm, causing his half body to be pulled crooked, his little legs shuffling back and forth on the ground, making him even more unstable.

She tucked her hair behind her ears and showed Lin Nianhe a smile: "Thank you, comrade, did we scare you?"

Lin Nianhe: "Hehe, no, it’s fine as long as the child is alright."

She questioned her life a bit, her smile stiff.

Seeing her like this, the round-faced lady tugged on her little boy’s arm, shrugged, and then pushed him towards Lin Nianhe, inviting enthusiastically, "Why don’t you also give him a couple of smacks?"

Lin Nianhe: "That’s really not necessary!"

The round-faced lady looked somewhat disappointed. After inviting her several times and seeing that Lin Nianhe had no intention of laying a hand, she could only thank her and left with the little boy, murmuring complaints.

Lin Nianhe admitted that her brain went blank after the round-faced lady entered the scene.

Having seen brats and bear-like parents, she just couldn’t handle this sudden change.

When Su Yuncheng returned with the hot towel, he saw Lin Nianhe sitting on her berth with a dazed face, her expression complex as if she had encountered an insurmountable problem.

"Still haven’t woken up?" He handed the towel over.

Lin Nianhe took it and buried her face in the hot towel.

The steam opened her pores, utterly comfortable.

Feeling Su Yuncheng’s gaze on her, she said, "Just now, a kid ran over here and almost hit his head."

Her voice was muffled by the towel.

"Hmm, did it scare you?"

Lin Nianhe listened to his voice, feeling his hand on the top of her head.

She removed the towel, looked up, and their eyes met.

"It didn’t scare me, it’s just that the child’s mother insisted on inviting me to smack her son twice... It’s incomprehensible."

She tilted her head slightly, full of confusion.

Su Yuncheng couldn’t help but chuckle, rubbing her head twice before withdrawing his hand.

He said, "It’s normal, don’t think about it too much."

"Normal?"

"Boys, isn’t every one of them grown up through falls and tumbles?" Su Yuncheng said nonchalantly.

Lin Nianhe, watching him pack up his suitcase, felt he had quite a story.

Su Yuncheng quickly finished packing, and the train began to slow down as it approached the station, soon coming to a halt.

He carried his suitcase, while Lin Nianhe, with her small shoulder bag, followed behind him.

He said, "Stick close to me, don’t get lost."

She replied, "Hmm, okay."

He was still worried and after a moment of hesitation, he reached out and grabbed the strap of her bag.

In a moment of reflex, Lin Nianhe handed the bag over to him.

Su Yuncheng: "...?"

Lin Nianhe touched her nose: "Did I misunderstand your meaning?"

Su Yuncheng: "Obviously, you did."

"So, shall we just roll with the mistake?"

"..."

There was no way they were rolling with the mistake, so Su Yuncheng had her put her bag back on, and pulling on the strap, he walked her out.

Lin Nianhe, looking at the tightly stretched strap, always felt something was odd.

One could only say... luckily, in this era, walking a dog didn’t require a leash.

There were quite a few people getting off the train, Lin Nianhe saw Sun Bo, and she saw the round-faced sister who had earlier invited her to beat up the kid together.

Sun Bo had a car picking him up; he rolled down the window cheerfully and asked Su Yuncheng, "Where are you heading? Let me give you a ride?"

Originally, with Su Yuncheng’s personality, he would definitely have refused such an offer.

But unexpectedly, Su Yuncheng, without a moment’s hesitation, opened the car door for Lin Nianhe to get in.

Sun Bo: "...?"

Had he become so impolite?

After getting in the car, Su Yuncheng said politely, "Sorry to trouble Brigade Commander Sun, just drop us at the guesthouse."

Sun Bo glanced at him sideways, asked irritably, "Which guesthouse?"

Su Yuncheng: "I’m not familiar with this area, can you help us choose one?"

Sun Bo: "..."

It seemed like he had been imposed upon.

He cleared his throat, hinting heavily, "What are you two doing in the provincial city?"

If necessary, Sun Bo was even willing to pull some strings for Su Yuncheng to get his affairs settled quickly and then leave as soon as possible.

Su Yuncheng: "Nothing much, just bringing her here to buy some stuff. Brigade Commander Sun, no need for any special arrangements."

Sun Bo: "..."

He truly hadn’t planned to arrange anything for the two of them, especially for him!

But since he had already said as much, Sun Bo felt obligated to take care of it.

So, he took them to the railway guesthouse, even borrowed a bicycle for them, and in the end, somehow ended up owing Su Yuncheng five canned food tickets.

Out of respect for Sun Bo being an old leader, Su Yuncheng didn’t make him write an IOU.

Sun Bo looked at Su Yuncheng, full of resentment.

Before he left, he pulled Lin Nianhe aside and earnestly advised, "Miss Lin, listen to Uncle, that boy Su Yuncheng is too cunning. Stay away from him!"

He had every reason to suspect that Su Yuncheng calling him "Brigade Commander" in the car was a reminder – you are a brigade commander, you are a leader, you need to find us a guesthouse that fits your status.

Lin Nianhe blinked innocently, speaking softly, "But it’s my first time in the provincial city, I’m unfamiliar with this place. If I leave him, I won’t even know my way around."

Sun Bo looked at Lin Nianhe, feeling she was a naive little bunny, about to be snatched away by the big bad wolf.

He asked, "You came to the provincial city to buy things?"

Lin Nianhe nodded cutely: "Yes, that’s right, I need to buy a lot of stuff."

With a mind to sabotage a budding romance, Sun Bo bluntly said, "In that case, I’ll lend you my car and driver. Whatever you need to buy, let him take you!"

Lin Nianhe smiled radiantly, "Thank you, Uncle Sun."

After Sun Bo left, riding the bicycle he had borrowed, he left behind his car and driver.

Lin Nianhe leaned against the window, watching him depart, and sighed, "Uncle Sun is such a simple and good person."

Lin Nianhe thought, when she had time, she could also write an article.

The title would be—

"Seventies, how three sentences got an honest man to lend me his car"
