Transmigration: Flirted with My Childhood Sweetheart
Chapter 224 - 223: Can She Still Trick Him?

Chapter 224: Chapter 223: Can She Still Trick Him?

Lin Nianhe’s knee injury was almost healed. The wound itself was not deep, but being on the joint, it was troublesome. Now that it had scabbed over, she could walk slowly without trouble.

However, Wang Shumei still didn’t let her cycle by herself, as even when her leg was fine, she needed to be extremely careful on the bike; Sister Shumei worried she might fall into a ditch again.

Now, both of them not only had to inform Li Dahe to take leave, but also needed Principal Wu’s permission.

Principal Wu asked with bewilderment, "What are you going to the town for?"

Lin Nianhe spoke up with the reason she had prepared early in the morning, "I’m going to buy a newspaper."

Principal Wu pointed towards his house: "What do you want to read? I have it here."

Lin Nianhe: "The Valoran City Zuan County Friendship Daily, do you have that?"

Principal Wu: "...?"

Not only did Principal Wu not have this newspaper, but he hadn’t even heard of it.

With a bewildered face, he let them leave, unable to resist wondering what sort of place that was.

Then, he found a map...

"Nianhe, that newspaper you talked about, why haven’t I ever heard of it?" Wang Shumei couldn’t help asking.

Lin Nianhe: "It’s a coincidence, I haven’t heard of it either."

Wang Shumei: "Every beating you get, you fully deserve it."

She had actually seriously considered where the place mentioned in that newspaper was!

Lin Nianhe chuckled slyly, full of confidence: "The principal wouldn’t bear to hit me. I’m still injured, and besides, I have Niuwa."

Wang Shumei rolled her eyes at the blue sky, ignoring her.

When they arrived at the post office, they happened to come across Zhou Xu.

Zhou Xu asked, "Sister Lin, what brings you here?"

"Just making a phone call." Lin Nianhe’s lips twitched into a smile, she subtly signaled him with her eyes.

Zhou Xu instantly understood, chuckling, "What a coincidence, I have something to discuss with you, you go make your call, I’ll wait."

Saying this, he found some excuse to send away the colleague near the phone and sat down there himself.

Lin Nianhe dialed the number, and after a wait, the phone was picked up: "Hello, who’s this?"

Bai Bo’s arrogant voice came through.

Lin Nianhe smiled lightly: "Brother-in-law, it’s me, did you need me for something?"

"Oi, oi, oi, sister! Look at me, I didn’t recognize you!" Bai Bo’s attitude immediately changed, he asked her in a gentle voice, "I heard you got injured? How is it? Getting better? Want to come check it out at a big hospital in the provincial city?"

"No need, just took a tumble, it’s almost healed." He didn’t say the real topic, so Lin Nianhe went along playing tai chi, "Brother-in-law, has Sister Lirong been well lately?"

"All good, all good, look at you still worrying," Bai Bo laughed for a bit, then asked her, "Sister, is it convenient for you to talk?"

He mysteriously lowered his voice, as if his side was the inconvenient one.

"It’s convenient, go ahead."

"Alright, brother-in-law will speak plainly, don’t pick on me... So, sister, it’s almost been a month, when will the goods on your side arrive?"

As expected.

Lin Nianhe knew that once Qian Guozhu entered the provincial city, Bai Bo would definitely keep an eye on him.

With no goods delivered this time, and no news from Lin Nianhe’s side, it would be strange if Bai Bo wasn’t anxious.

Lin Nianhe said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, you’re putting me in a tough spot. You see, I’m injured and there are a lot of things I can’t take care of. And these matters aren’t things that can be scheduled precisely for a specific day. Please don’t rush, just wait a bit longer."

For Lin Nianhe, the best strategy right now was to delay.

With the harvest season approaching, Bai Bo’s channels would also be impacted. How he had managed in previous years, Lin Nianhe did not know, but this year she had boastfully promised him "as much as he needed", so he likely wouldn’t have much prepared.

As long as she could delay for another half a month with no actions taken, Bai Bo would inevitably become restless and come to see what was going on.

Even if he didn’t come personally, he would send someone he trusted. That way, with fewer people around him, Su Yuncheng’s actions would be easier.

No matter what Bai Bo chose to do, the outcome would be in their favor.

Bai Bo chuckled softly, a sound like a night owl, chilling to the bone.

He said, "Sister, I of course trust you, but this way, brother-in-law feels uneasy. I rely on your channels for my supplies, and if something goes wrong, I’ll be in trouble."

Lin Nianhe added with a helpless tone, "Brother-in-law, I really have a lot going on here lately. Since you trust me, you should feel assured. Would I really let you down?"

Bai Bo sighed with some difficulty, seemingly trying to convey how hard it was to run his household.

After a moment, he said, "Sister, no more than half a month. If there’s still no news after half a month, I can’t keep waiting like this with you. Once things stabilize on your end, we can talk again."

Lin Nianhe silently laughed. She stayed quiet, torturing Bai Bo with the silence for a while before saying, "Alright, brother-in-law, even with my injury, I’ll sort this out."

"Still, take care of your health, haha," Bai Bo hypocritically advised. "Sister, take extra care."

"Okay, will do."

"We’re all honest relatives. If brother-in-law said anything unpleasant, don’t mind it, sister. Peace brings wealth, right?"

Lin Nianhe: "Indeed, peace brings wealth."

After hanging up, Lin Nianhe asked Zhou Xu, "Eldest Brother Zhou, how much is it?"

Zhou Xu had been listening to Lin Nianhe’s call the whole time, but no matter how much he listened, he couldn’t figure out what she really intended to do.

Zhou Xu instinctively glanced at the call duration and reported a price that made Lin Nianhe wince.

Lin Nianhe paid the money, silently adding another tally against Bai Bo in her mind.

This phone bill had to be charged to Bai Bo regardless of personal grudges!

Zhou Xu watched Lin Nianhe, starting to speak but hesitating.

Lin Nianhe smiled and asked him, "Eldest Brother Zhou, do you need to go to the production team to deliver a message?"

Zhou Xu immediately stood up, "Yes, I’m going to the production team to deliver a message!"

Lin Nianhe: "But I need to go to the clinic."

Zhou Xu: "..."

Seeing his rigid expression, Lin Nianhe laughed with a snort, winked at Zhou Xu to follow her, and slowly moved out holding onto Wang Shumei’s arm.

Observing her uneasy gait, Zhou Xu asked, "What’s the matter, Sister Lin? Are you injured?"

"Just had a fall a few days ago," Lin Nianhe replied.

"Ah? So you’re going to the clinic to change your dressing?" Zhou Xu hastily noted this mentally, deciding he had to inform Su Yuncheng.

Lin Nianhe shook her head, "No, I’m visiting a student’s mother and also delivering a message for your sister."

Zhou Xu: "...?"

He suddenly felt like he couldn’t keep up. Was it because he had been dining with the fat guy lately and had his ways mixed up?

While Zhou Xu continued questioning life, Lin Nianhe suddenly stopped, turned around with a serious face, and asked him, "Eldest Brother Zhou, you wouldn’t want Brother Yuncheng to be in danger either, right?"
