Transmigration: Flirted with My Childhood Sweetheart
Chapter 403 - 402: Wedding Candy

Chapter 403: Chapter 402: Wedding Candy

Zhou Xu quickly took out his phone book after hearing Lin Nianhe’s words and dialed the hospital where Zhou Fenyang was.

Soon, Zhou Fenyang answered the phone. Zhou Xu exchanged a few pleasantries with her before handing the phone to Lin Nianhe.

"Sister Fen Yang, this is Lin Nianhe."

"Um, why the sudden call? Is there something you need?"

After moving to the provincial city, Zhou Fenyang and Lin Nianhe had exchanged several letters. Their relationship was no longer as tense as before. It must be said, without men coming between them, the friendship between girls is quite beautiful.

"There is something..."

Lin Nianhe succinctly explained the situation.

After listening, Zhou Fenyang said, "We do have plenty of vitamin tablets in our hospital. I’ll just go and explain the situation to the director, but the battalion needs to send the payment over promptly."

"I’ll provide the money. Once you’ve bought them, please mail them over. There’s no need for the battalion to spend extra, as going through their procedures and waiting for approval might take a long while. Let’s prioritize treatment," Lin Nianhe explained. "I have two friends there, and I’m worried about them."

"It might cost a couple of hundred yuan," Zhou Fenyang reminded. "One company all have this issue, just buying a few bottles of medicine definitely won’t be enough."

"Um, I understand. I’ve brought money with me, I’ll send it to you in a moment."

"Okay, I’ll explain the situation to the director and first send the medicine to the battalion."

"Thank you, Sister Fen Yang."

"No need for thanks. Just give me the address and names, and once I’m done, I’ll send it to your friends."

"Okay, note this down..."

After taking down the address, Zhou Fenyang didn’t continue with small talk and hung up the phone after saying she’s going to handle it.

Lin Nianhe put down the phone and after a light sigh of relief, took out 300 yuan prepared on the road from her shoulder bag, and smiled at a stunned Zhou Xu who was beside her: "Thank you, Eldest Brother Zhou, I’m going to send the money to Sister Fen Yang."

Zhou Xu: "Uh, okay."

He watched Lin Nianhe go to the remittance window, unable to comprehend, "Since when did Sister Lin get along so well with my sister?"

He was an experienced old scout and knew his eldest sister’s character well; he could deduce from Lin Nianhe’s words what Zhou Fenyang had probably said.

It was incomprehensible to him; these two used to clash whenever they met, and his sister was often so agitated that she would talk in her sleep, cursing Lin Nianhe.

How come in just a few months, they became as close as real sisters?

He couldn’t figure it out, not at all...

After transferring the money, Lin Nianhe greeted Zhou Xu and then left the post office.

On her way, she went to the Cooperative Society to buy some notebooks and pens—the little kids in her class were running out of exercise books, and she needed to give them some tests soon to justify handing them out.

She originally planned to go straight back, but remembering the candy Guan Manling gave her, she changed direction and headed to the candy counter.

"Comrade, hello, could you weigh two pounds of wedding candy for me?"

The salesperson took the money and sugar tickets, looked at Lin Nianhe and hesitated, unsure whether to say "congratulations."

Lin Nianhe saw her dilemma and said with a smiling, "I’m buying it for someone else."

"Oh, oh," the salesperson relaxed immediately, "I thought so. You look only sixteen or seventeen, not like you’re getting married."

Lin Nianhe smiled lightly, took the candy, and sighed helplessly.

Luckily Yu Xiangqin was getting married, otherwise that candy...

...

"Hey, Fourth Sie, have some candy."

Lin Nianhe casually tossed some bright red wedding candy to Sie Yufei.

Sie Yufei took the candy, looked at her puzzled: "Where have you been to a wedding banquet? I didn’t hear anyone’s getting married."

Lin Nianhe hummed a response, "Isn’t Sister Xiangqin getting married?"

"Oh, that’s true."

Yufei Sie didn’t think much of it, peeling the candy wrapper and stuffing the candy into his mouth.

Lin Nianhe watched him and asked, "Is it sweet?"

"Sweet, candy is of course sweet." Yufei Sie replied carelessly.

Lin Nianhe tossed him another little oil-paper packet: "Then eat some more."

"Eh?"

This time, Yufei Sie sensed something was off: "Yu Xiangqin gave me so much wedding candy?"

"The wedding candy was purchased by me, I didn’t know what proper gift to give, and I just happened to have sugar tickets, so I bought her the wedding candy."

"Oh, I see, then I’ll accept it, since it’s your treat anyway." Yufei Sie happily carried the candy into the house.

Lin Nianhe watched his figure from behind, shook her head, and sighed.

The letter from Guan Manling was brief, apart from telling her that Sun Yafei was doing well, it mentioned only one thing—that she got married last week to the company commander of Ninth Company. She sent some candy, subtly asking ’them’ to try it.

The candy that Yufei Sie was eating was Guan Manling’s wedding candy.

Perhaps one day he will find out that today’s candy was from the wedding of the woman he adores, perhaps by then he will have forgotten the taste of this candy, or perhaps, he will never know.

What happens next, Lin Nianhe did not know, she only knew that at this moment, she bore the pain on behalf of Yufei Sie.

...

Today in Ten Miles Team, everyone except Lin Nianhe and Su Yuncheng seemed quite happy.

Lin Nianhe was melancholic having witnessed a failed tragic romance, Su Yuncheng was unhappy because Lin Nianhe was unhappy.

The villagers were originally saddened because Sun Yafei couldn’t come back with them, but when Li Dahe opened the canned meat Sun Yafei had sent and distributed among the households, everyone was happy again.

While complaining that the young kid didn’t know how to save money, they wiped away their tears and breathed a sigh of relief.

Though the item was nothing expensive, they knew that Sun Yafei must be doing fairly well in the battalion, unlike the Educated youth who couldn’t afford even a can for the whole year through their hardships.

That night, the fragrance of canned meat mingled with laughter wafted from the chimneys of every household.

"Nianhe, the frozen pear has thawed, have one."

Su Yuncheng brought a bowl in, with a dark, round pear inside.

Lin Nianhe was writing a reply letter, she looked up hearing him: "Frozen pear? I’ve heard of it but never tried, is it good?"

"It’s sweet and sour, try it." Su Yuncheng shook off the water from the frozen pear and handed it to her.

Lin Nianhe put down her pen, took it and bit into it.

Sweet and sour juice poured into her mouth from the burst skin, cool and refreshing like chilled pear juice.

Lin Nianhe felt spirited in an instant and smiled: "Delicious."

Su Yuncheng watched her with downcast eyes and said, "I bought movie tickets for the holiday, didn’t you say you wanted to take Niuwa to meet his grandfather? After meeting, let’s go watch a movie."

"Why the sudden desire to watch a movie?" Lin Nianhe looked puzzled at him.

"Recently there’s a lot going on..." Su Yuncheng paused, then said straight, "You are not very happy."

Lin Nianhe was a bit surprised.

She was only unhappy for a moment and he noticed?

She quickly said, "Actually, I’m fine, it’s just today..." She glanced out the window and lowered her voice before speaking, "Today I received a letter from Guan Manling."

"Because of Yufei Sie?" Su Yuncheng frowned slightly.

"Sort of," Lin Nianhe pursed her lips and said, "She got married, asked someone to bring wedding candy for Yufei Sie... it’s quite upsetting to think about it. Fourth Sie, although odd, really does love Miss Guan. Wang Dong mentioned that he often mutters about Miss Guan in the middle of the night... Ah, this tragic love..."

Su Yuncheng: "..."

Even if Yugu Sie knelt down in front of him today, he would not be able to save Yufei Sie’s legs.
