Transmigration: Flirted with My Childhood Sweetheart
Chapter 476 - 475 This is Clearly Sadness!

Chapter 476: Chapter 475 This is Clearly Sadness!

The following week was incredibly busy for Lin Nianhe.

Her daily routine could be fully summarized by the word "shopping."

Money was spent like running water, and bags of goods were brought home one after another.

By the end, even Sie Yufei was getting anxious: "Xiao He! Let me make it clear in advance, no matter what, I can’t carry all these things! Even if Brother Huaizhou strangles me, I won’t be able to carry them!"

"Are you showing off? Are you the only one with hands?" Lin Nianhe arrogantly lifted her chin, "Brother Yuncheng is returning with me, and my dad will also go to the station to see me off."

"Oh, that’s a relief. Then you carry whatever you want; I’ll call Uncle Team Leader to inform him of our return time."

"Tch, Uncle Team Leader can hear the clinking of your coins even from his home."

Lin Nianhe brought a lot of food, mainly pastries. She specifically bought several pounds of jujube flower cake for Sie Yufei, planning to send them to Miss Guan.

The rest were books, clothes, and fabric. She nearly bought a bit of every fabric available at the Cooperative Society, planning to take them back to the textile factory to see if they could be used to make Head Flowers.

This time the clothes she brought, aside from everyday wear, also included dresses and little leather shoes that she planned to wear during the Spring Trade Fair.

She wasn’t planning to take too much heavy clothing originally, but after Sie Yufei finished his call and came back, he told Lin Nianhe—

"Uncle Team Leader said it’s still snowing heavily in Lan County; he told us to dress warmly on our way back."

"Ah? It’s still snowing so close to March? I remember Uncle Guan saying that last year around this time, they were already turning the soil to prepare for spring planting."

"Who knows, maybe it was warmer last year..."

Thus, the heavy military coat that had just been excluded from the luggage reclaimed its spot.

In the blink of an eye, the day of departure arrived. Su Yuncheng had only returned last night and he packed much faster than Lin Nianhe. He tidied up his suitcase in half an hour before bed, looking as if he hadn’t packed at all.

Today, many people came to see them off at the station: Mr. Lin, Aunt Lin, Mr. Su, Mrs. Su, and Second Sister Sie. Lin Huai Zhou, due to still training new recruits, missed sending off his sister once again.

Thanks to Lin Nianhe, Sie Yufei finally got hold of a sleeper ticket, so moved that he almost knelt down to her.

Luggage was stuffed through the train window one piece at a time, and Aunt Lin, through the window, held her daughter’s hand with red-rimmed eyes, unable to speak.

"Mom, I’m fine, don’t worry. Take good care of yourself," Lin Nianhe comforted Aunt Lin in turn, "Don’t always work too late; if you’re too tired, don’t cook, have my dad fetch food from the canteen for you."

Mr. Lin: "Right, right, right, my daughter is correct."

Aunt Lin glared at him, wiped her tears, and holding Lin Nianhe’s hand, said: "Xiao He, take good care of yourself there. Don’t act tough when you encounter problems, and call Mom if you run out of money."

"Alright, I know," Lin Nianhe nodded repeatedly.

"I put your usual medicine in the small suitcase, and all the snacks for the trip are in there too. If you don’t feel well, get off the train mid-journey, don’t force yourself..."

Contrary to the earnest advice of Mr. Lin and Aunt Lin, Mr. Su, looking at his son through the window, took a long while only to utter two sentences:

"Don’t bully Xiao He, don’t do anything you shouldn’t."

"Take good care of Xiao He."

Su Yuncheng: "Hmm, I know."

Mrs. Su, feeling that this father and son were wasting too much time, pulled Mr. Su aside: "Yuncheng, be careful, try your best not to get hurt."

"Okay, Mom, don’t worry." Su Yuncheng’s expression softened a bit when talking to his mother.

"Take good care of Xiao He, and also take care of yourself. Tell the family if anything happens," Mrs. Su said with a frown, then sighed after saying that.

Hoping that her son would come to her with problems, she really was thinking wishfully.

"Alright, I will."

The train started moving, and people on the platform stepped forward in unison, while those inside the train waved goodbye to their families with the last bit of time remaining.

In this era, long separations are the norm, leaving no room for one to be unaccustomed to it.

Only when she could no longer see the figures on the platform did Lin Nianhe let out a light sigh and withdrew her head.

She wanted to close the window, but for some reason, it was stuck, and she couldn’t close it.

"Brother Yuncheng..." Lin Nianhe turned her head and saw Su Yuncheng making her bed. She called out instead, "Fourth Sie... uh, are you happy?"

Sie Yufei glared with his rabbit-like eyes and looked up at Lin Nianhe: "I’m being sad!"

Lin Nianhe: "You don’t seem very obviously sad to me."

Sie Yufei sniffed, not really wanting to bicker with Lin Nianhe.

Lin Nianhe tugged at him: "I know you’re sad, but can you be sad later? Could you help me close the window first? The train is starting and the wind is too strong."

Youngest Master Sie glared at Lin Nianhe resentfully but stood up and closed the window.

With the wind blocked outside, Lin Nianhe let out a breath of relief and asked him, "Are you feeling homesick?"

Sie Yufei pursed his lips and took out his cherished camera, saying, "My second sister just told me that the idea to buy a camera was my big brother’s."

Lin Nianhe: "...!"

That was indeed a rare occurrence; it was truly incomprehensible that Sie Yuguo would suggest such an idea.

Sie Yufei, frowning, asked, "Xiao He, do you think my big brother thinks I am only good for playing around and that’s why he had my second sister buy me a camera?"

Lin Nianhe sighed softly, patting his shoulder to comfort him: "Fourth Sie, don’t overthink it. The fact that you’re good for nothing else is definitely not news to Brother Yuguo, he probably just wanted to simply buy you a camera."

Sie Yufei: "..."

Great, he felt even more heartbroken after being comforted.

"Nianhe, come and rest for a bit." Su Yuncheng had finished making the bed and stood up to let Lin Nianhe sit down.

"Okay." Lin Nianhe obediently responded and turned to sit on the berth.

Su Yuncheng did not stop; he turned to put all three of their luggage on the overhead rack, and from his own suitcase, he got out some snacks and a water flask for Lin Nianhe, as well as a book for leisure.

"Are you hungry?"

"No."

"Do you want to sleep for a while?"

"Not sleepy yet."

"I’ll go get some water for you, so you can wash your face."

"Mmm... okay."

Watching from the side, Sie Yufei, although he was already aware of how these two interacted, realized that seeing it firsthand and just knowing about it were two different things. He was thoroughly shocked and even forgot about his grief.

Taking advantage of Su Yuncheng leaving to fetch water, Sie Yufei asked in a low voice, "Xiao He, has Brother Cheng always treated you... like he’s waiting on a lady?"

Lin Nianhe: "Maybe you should just continue being sad. You are more pleasant to look at that way."

Sie Yufei curled his lips, kicked off his shoes, climbed up to the upper berth, and settled in comfortably, letting out a rhythmically intoned "ah".

Feeling somewhat excited, he turned on his side, propping his head up to say to Lin Nianhe: "Xiao He, this is my first time in a sleeper berth!"

Lin Nianhe watched him with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile: "Then you should really enjoy it, cherish this journey."

"Yeah! It’s much more comfortable than the hard seat, there are fewer people, and it’s quiet!"

Lin Nianhe’s smile deepened: "By the way, does this count as the first time you’ve spent three days and nights in the same room with Brother Yuncheng?"

Sie Yufei was taken aback, and the smile faded from his lips.
