In the afternoon, Xia Enru folded her clothes and rode her cart to school. She wasn't planning to buy lunch today because time was too tight.
After sending both batches of clothes back and moving to a new location, they set up their stall at noon and in the evening.
Upon arriving at the school, students came one after another to pick up their clothes at the agreed time and place.
Xia Enru told everyone she met about her new location.
I've been talking about the same words until my throat is dry.
"Sister Enruo!"
Mao Xiangling knew that Xia Enruo would definitely be here at this time.
"Xiangling, what a coincidence! I had a feeling I would run into you. I've been working overtime to wash your clothes, so I'll wrap them up for you."
"Sister, actually I also have a favor to ask of you today."
Xia Enruo became interested upon hearing this. What could Xiangling possibly need from her? Could it be something about washing clothes?
"Xiangling, just tell me what's on your mind, don't be shy."
"Sis, I need you to deliver something to Yuan Qiang for me."
Xiangling used the burn ointment, and it was indeed much more effective than the medicine from the school hospital. It felt cool and refreshing, and the swelling subsided in just one day, and the pain was gone too.
She was truly grateful, but she felt uneasy accepting such a valuable gift and felt she should at least repay the kindness.
"Xiangling, let me hear why you gave Yuan Qiang these things. Do you have a crush on him?"
Xiangling blushed at what was said. Although she thought Yuan Qiang was a good person, she had no plans to date right now.
"Sister, he came over yesterday to give me some ointment. It's really amazing and works very well. I thought I should give him something in return."
These dried fruits were dried by my mother. I gave some to my sister, and these are all for Yuan Qiang.
I also made him a keychain out of elastic cord as a thank you.
Upon hearing this, Xia Enruo thought, "Yuan Qiang is really quick on his feet. He's already giving me ointment after we've just met. He's really something."
But with such a good opportunity, how could the two of them not meet more often?
No! I can't help with this, or Yuan Qiang will blame me.
"Xiangling, aren't you especially grateful to him for sending medicine from so far away?"
Xiangling nodded.
"Then you should call him, ask to meet him, thank him in person, and give him the gift. That way you can show your sincerity."
Is this the right way?
Xiangling asked innocently, without having thought that much about it herself.
"Of course, if you say I'm just passing on a message between you two, then the gratitude is greatly diminished, and Yuan Qiang won't feel your deep appreciation."
Xiangling was persuaded by Xia Enruo. It seems that she had been too naive. She will contact him when she gets back and treat him to a meal to thank him properly.
She took the clothes from Xia Enruo's hand and reached for her money, but Xia Enruo pushed it back.
"Little sister, you've already given me dried fruit, so I can't possibly take your money. If you insist on giving it to me today, I won't accept the dried fruit either."
Xiangling had no choice but to withdraw her hand.
"Sister Enruo, thank you so much! By the way, didn't you say you were going to sell boxed lunches? When does it start? I want to come and support you!"
"Hey girl, I was so happy I forgot to tell you, I even set up a stall at the school gate at noon."
"Come find me at the gate after class tomorrow at noon. I'll treat you to a boxed lunch. Also, I collect laundry on that street from now on, so just give me your laundry next time you need it."
Xiangling was truly impressed. Xia Enruo immediately carried out whatever she said she would do. It would be an injustice if she didn't make money.
"Okay, Sister Enruo. I'll go tomorrow."
Xia Enruo spent an afternoon at the medical university, and her classmates told her most or least about the situation.
She was overjoyed as she called out her wares; her business had gotten off to a great start, and she knew she wouldn't have to worry about making money in the future.
Jiang Ting has been very troubled lately. She misses Yuan Qiang so much that she's going crazy. She keeps her laptop close to her face and can't sleep night after night.
I might as well go to the performing arts troupe to find Jiang Pei and ask my cousin for help.
“Tingmei, there haven’t been any activities in the army lately, so I haven’t had a chance to go to the regimental headquarters. Besides, Yuan Qiang and I don’t get along well; we’ve only seen each other a few times during performances.”
Jiang Pei was really having a headache from her younger sister's nagging. She had been turned away by Yuan Qiang last time, so how could she ask him this time?
"Sister, please help me. I really like him to death. If we get together, I will never forget your kindness for the rest of my life."
"How about I introduce you to someone else? We have quite a few guys in our group, and a few of them come from well-off families. How about we try introducing them?"
Jiang Ting said disdainfully:
“The guys in your group are all so weak and frail, I don’t like them. I only like Yuan Qiang’s tough guy image, I won’t marry anyone but him.”
Jiang Pei thought to herself, this silly little sister is really devoted to him, just like herself, her heart is full of Gu Shaoxuan, and she doesn't want to marry anyone but him.
"Alright, alright. Stop bothering me, I'll ask around for you again."
Jiang Ting returned to her dormitory full of hope and joy. Her roommates, seeing her jumping for joy, asked her what was so happy about it.
"Me? I have a boyfriend. He's a tall and handsome military officer. We just went on a date."
Jiang Ting was putting on a brave face, wanting her roommates to envy her.
"Wow, how wonderful! Having a military officer boyfriend is a match made in heaven!"
"Who says otherwise? By the way, I saw a soldier standing downstairs that day, probably waiting for his girlfriend. That must be Jiang Ting's boyfriend."
Jiang Ting pretended to be nonchalant upon hearing this.
"Yes, he was waiting for me."
"That guy is really handsome. Jiang Ting, you're so lucky. Out of the four of us roommates, your boyfriend is the most outstanding and the most handsome."
Jiang Ting was so flattered that she lost all sense of proportion and thoroughly enjoyed the praise.
