Chapter 23 Chapter 23 The Deer Runs Wild
She waved to Ye Jinhong, shouting "Uncle! Uncle!", then crossed the road and jogged to Ye Jinhong.
"Uncle, why are you here?"
Shu Niannian's eyes curved with a smile. Ye Jinhong saw her running towards him, with a smile in his sharp eyes. If someone who was familiar with Ye Jinhong passed by here at this moment, they would definitely be scared. When did this cold-faced devil learn to laugh?
In the first sentence, Ye Jinhong corrected Shu Niannian's address, "You and Jianjun have broken off the engagement, and I am no longer your uncle."
The second sentence he said was, "If you don't mind, you can call me by my name, or you can call me Jinhong."
Shu Niannian was so happy to see Ye Jinhong that she didn't even pay attention to such a trivial matter as addressing him. She was so used to it that the word "uncle" came out of her mouth naturally.
Seeing Ye Jinhong coming to correct her, Shu Niannian stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, "I dare not, how can I call you by your name?"
She acted like a little girl in front of Ye Jinhong and was very relaxed. She didn't even notice that she was more open in front of Ye Jinhong than in front of Li Guifen.
Ye Jinhong chuckled and said, "Then what do you want to call me?"
Shu Niannian frowned, "This is indeed a bit difficult. I don't know what to call you, but calling your name always feels weird."
She felt it was weird. From her previous life to this life, she had always called Ye Jinhong uncle. Even after her divorce in her previous life, she always called Ye Jinhong uncle whenever she saw him. She always felt that calling him uncle made it more reasonable for Ye Jinhong to help her.
Now that Ye Jinhong suddenly brought it up, Shu Niannian realized that something was wrong. Yes, in the second half of her previous life, she and Ye Jinhong had no relationship anymore.
How can I still call you uncle?
But in his previous life, Ye Jinhong never corrected her way of addressing him, but in this life, he drew a clear line right away. Shu Niannian was a little angry, "Why, you don't allow me to call you uncle, do you want to completely draw a line between me and you?"
Ye Jinhong was a little embarrassed. "That's not the case. I just want you to change your name. What's the matter with always calling me uncle? If others don't know, they will think I'm really your uncle."
Shu Niannian was now satisfied and said angrily, "What's the big deal? It's just a name, right?"
Shu Niannian also felt that it was not good to continue calling Ye Jinhong "uncle", but she just wanted to contradict Ye Jinhong.
Shu Niannian raised her face and looked at Ye Jinhong angrily, her round almond eyes were watery and clear. This reminded Ye Jinhong of the cat he once raised. The cat was just like Shu Niannian. No matter how good you were to it, it would get angry as long as you didn't do what it wanted.
She might be waiting for him to stroke her fur one second, but the next second she would reach out and scratch him with her paw.
Ye Jinhong said helplessly, "Okay, then you can call me whatever you want."
Ye Jinhong said so, and Shu Niannian didn't want to argue with Ye Jinhong. "Okay, I also think it's not good to call you uncle now. People who don't know may think that I have something to do with Lu Jianjun. I don't like that."
Shu Wenhui saw the scene of Shu Niannian and Ye Jinhong talking across the street. He always felt that something was wrong. They seemed too familiar with each other. Before Shu Niannian broke off her engagement with Lu Jianjun, she and Lu Jianjun had never talked so "harmoniously".
Shu Wenhui, who only has a junior high school diploma, can only think of two words for the time being: "harmony".
Ye Jinhong has sharp senses, and he noticed Shu Wenhui's gaze as soon as he looked at him, but he kept looking at Shu Niannian's rich and subtle expressions. He didn't want to care about anything else, so he just let Shu Wenhui look at him.
Some things need to ferment slowly.
"Oh, by the way, my eldest brother is here too!"
It took a long while for Shu Niannian to remember Shu Wenhui. The two of them walked across the street to Miaoshou Huichun. Ye Jinhong stood behind Shu Niannian and nodded to Shu Wenhui. Shu Wenhui suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Ye Jinhong was tall, broad-shouldered, and strong. He had been in the army for many years and was the youngest regiment commander of the Second Army of Haicheng. He had the pressure of a superior. The majestic aura that emanated from him was not something that ordinary people could bear.
There were three males in the Hall of Rejuvenation. Ye Jinhong easily defeated Zhang Chunyang and Shu Wenhui. In front of the absolute strong man, Zhang Chunyang and Shu Wenhui surrendered instantly.
Shu Niannian had mentioned Zhang Chunyang in her reply to Ye Jinhong before, so Ye Jinhong also knew about Zhang Chunyang. Ye Jinhong introduced himself, "My name is Ye Jinhong, and I am now in the Second Army of Haicheng. If there is anything you can't solve, you can go to the Second Army to find me."
Zhang Chunyang's eyes widened instantly. This was a huge honor. Although he didn't know who Ye Jinhong was, the training suit Ye Jinhong was wearing was not something an ordinary soldier could wear. He quickly expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, thank you."
Ye Jinhong smiled and said, "Nian Nian's affairs are my affairs. You are her business partner, so naturally I have to take care of you."
Zhang Chunyang looked at Ye Jinhong, then at Shu Niannian. He didn't show it on his face, but he was shocked inside. He thanked Ye Jinhong and said, "Yes, it's all because of Nian Nian. Otherwise, my old Chinese medicine shop would have closed down in half a year at most. Although Nian Nian is young, she is like a rebirth to me."
Ye Jinhong smiled with satisfaction, and looked at Zhang Chunyang with a much more favorable attitude, thinking that he was a man who knew what was going on.
As they were talking, it was almost noon. Several people were standing in the hall of Miaoshou Huichun talking. As the host, Zhang Chunyang suggested that he treat everyone to a meal together at noon. Shu Wenhui never had any objections in such occasions. As long as Shu Niannian was willing, he would agree to anything.
Shu Niannian originally wanted to take Shu Wenhui to buy some delicious food, but after all, she was familiar with Haicheng more than ten years later, but she didn't know the current Haicheng. Since Zhang Chunyang, a native of Haicheng, was willing to take them around, that couldn't be better.
"But let's go eat street food, it's much more interesting than going to a restaurant."
Shu Niannian proposed this and it was passed unanimously.
The group left Miaoshou Huichun and headed for the snack street. Ye Jinhong whispered in Shu Niannian's ear, "You know how to eat. The snack street in Haicheng is indeed more interesting than the restaurant."
Although it was winter, Ye Jinhong was so close to her that Shu Niannian felt her ears getting warm. She quickly tilted her head and rubbed her ears. Without thinking too much, she just smiled and said, "Who doesn't know that the snack street in Haicheng is a unique place in Haicheng!"
In fact, Shu Niannian really didn’t know at this time. She had never even heard Lu Jianjun mention the snack street in Haicheng.
In his previous life, Ye Jinhong got drunk once and mentioned the snack street in Haicheng to Shu Niannian, saying that there were all kinds of candied haws on the street.
They soon arrived at the snack street. Shu Niannian saw the peddler selling candied haws at a glance. She quickly squeezed over and bought a string. When she looked back, she only saw Ye Jinhong standing beside her. Shu Wenhui and Zhang Chunyang were gone.
"Zhang Chunyang and your elder brother don't like eating candied haws, so they went to find the snacks they like."
Shu Niannian nodded and didn't think about it. After all, with Zhang Chunyang here, his elder brother wouldn't get lost. She raised the candied haws in her hand to show Ye Jinhong, "Isn't it different from the ones we ate when we were kids? There's an orange slice and a banana in the middle of this candied haws. Do you want to eat it? If you say you want to eat it and praise me, I'll buy you a bunch! I'm rich today!"
As he spoke, Shu Niannian took out a big unity from his pocket and swung it in the air, "Here, ten dollars! If you hang out with me today, I can let you eat all the candied haws you want!"
Ye Jinhong laughed, "You forgot that I don't eat candied haws. You always cheated me out of my pocket money to buy candied haws, and in the end you broke your teeth. You even dared not see anyone for a few years. I thought you had learned your lesson, but now that you've grown up, you still like to eat candied haws so much."
Ye Jinhong looked helpless. He raised his eyebrows and signaled to the vendor to give him another string. He paid for Shu Niannian and continued shopping with Shu Niannian.
Shu Niannian had never been to a snack street before, so everything she saw was strange. She looked around curiously, chewing candied haws with a crunching sound, and her little mouth was covered with sugar stains. Ye Jinhong couldn't bear to see it, so he reached out to wipe the sugar stains for her. He didn't think much about it, but when his fingertips touched Shu Niannian's lips, Ye Jinhong felt something was wrong. But he had already wiped them, and if he hurriedly took his hand away at this time, it would only be more embarrassing.
Ye Jinhong's heart was pounding, and Shu Niannian was not much better. The moment Ye Jinhong's fingers touched her lips, Shu Niannian felt an electric current running through her lips and spread throughout her body.
She was so frightened that she dared not move. She had never had such an experience in her two lifetimes combined.
Ye Jinhong is tall and strong. Shu Niannian stands in front of Ye Jinhong, her height barely reaching Ye Jinhong's shoulders. The snack street is crowded with people coming and going. Ye Jinhong protects Shu Niannian in front of him and does not let her come into contact with other people at all.
At that moment, Shu Niannian suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart.
"Uncle, are you like this to all girls?" Shu Niannian asked doubtfully.
Ye Jinhong's hands were covered in sugar stains, and he was unable to wipe Shu Niannian's mouth clean. He lowered his eyes and said, "No, I only do this to you."
Shu Niannian's heart was beating fast and her palm-sized face turned red instantly.
When their eyes met, the emotions in Ye Jinhong's eyes were so strong that they seemed to overflow. Shu Niannian blinked her round eyes like a cat, and suddenly she didn't know what to do.
After she found Shu Wenhui, she fled back to Shujia Village with Shu Wenhui, saying that there was an emergency at home.
Everything went on as usual. The study schedule for senior year was very tight. Shu Niannian deliberately put everything in Haicheng behind her. Shu Niannian became even busier. The head teacher talked to her and told her that if she could get first place in the grade in the final exam at the end of the year, the school would reward her 25 yuan, and the second place would be rewarded 20 yuan, and so on, decreasing in order. The top five in the grade would all get money.
The head teacher had high hopes for Shu Niannian. She hoped that her students could get the money and bring honor to her at the same time.
Shu Niannian is not short of money now, but since she can earn money for studying, she naturally will not miss it. In order to be able to get into the top five in her grade, she has worked so hard that she has almost forgotten to eat and sleep.
In just two weeks, she lost a lot of weight, and the monkey cotton clothes that used to fit her perfectly now felt empty.
However, all the hard work was worth it. On the day when the final exam results were announced, Shu Niannian saw her name written in third place in the senior year group.
After putting 15 yuan into her pocket, Shu Niannian was about to go to the street to buy some pork offal for hot pot when she saw Shu Meilan coming towards her. She smiled very brightly, "Cousin, you probably don't know, but Brother Jianjun and I are together!"
