That night, some people were fast asleep.
Some people toss and turn, unable to sleep.
After a night of careful consideration, the Su family of three got up early to pack their bags and head out the door.
As the family of three walked to the gate of the military compound, they ran into Huo Dongfang and Ye Fanxing, who were on their way to the post office.
Unlike Su's mother, who seemed somewhat guilty in front of Ye Fanxing.
The father and daughter from the Su family, however, remained calm and showed no fear whatsoever.
There was absolutely no sign that he had done anything wrong.
"Huo Dongfang, where are you and Ye Fanxing going?"
Huo Dongfang didn't like the Su family; they were too opportunistic and calculating.
"I'm going out to take care of some business."
Su's father didn't feel embarrassed at all; he just looked at Ye Fanxing and Huo Dongfang with a happy expression.
"I heard you got engaged, congratulations."
Huo Dongfangsen sneered, "Thanks to you and your daughter."
Su's father was extremely embarrassed.
He was indeed very fond of Huo Dongfang as his son-in-law.
To have achieved so much at such a young age is truly remarkable.
If Huo Dongfang hadn't had a hidden illness, Su Mingyue would never have been able to reach such an outstanding man as him.
Unfortunately, Su Mingyue was not very bright and didn't like Huo Dongfang.
Su's father had actually arranged everything for Su Mingyue long ago, as long as Su Mingyue married Huo Dongfang.
The Huo family will surely be grateful for his kindness and support during their times of hardship.
His path to promotion will be much smoother.
As for Su Mingyue, she could wait until after the marriage to propose adopting a child.
The Huo family will definitely feel indebted to Su Mingyue because of her understanding and kindness.
Su Mingyue can live her life with impunity in the Huo family.
Watching Huo Dongfang and Ye Fanxing's departing figures as they divorced, Su's father sighed helplessly.
It's truly a case of being destined to meet but not to be together!
Ye Fanxing got the freebie for nothing.
The two families left the military compound in opposite directions from the gate.
The Su family boarded the train to Shanghai University, their faces filled with anticipation for a bright future.
Ye Fanxing and Huo Dongfang walked to the post office.
Since this matter concerned Ye Fanxing's entire life, Huo Dongfang was extremely cautious.
As soon as he arrived at the post office, he showed his identification.
"Comrade Huo Dongfang, hello, may I ask what brings you here?"
The staff were very polite.
There was absolutely no perfunctory attitude whatsoever.
"Comrade, I would like to check if Ye Fanxing's admission notice from the military compound has been delivered to your post office?"
The clerk asked with great surprise, "Ye Fanxing from the military compound, right? I remember her. The admission notice was sent over a long time ago. What, you didn't receive it?"
"I didn't receive it."
Ye Fanxing said timidly.
The clerk hesitated for a moment, then said, "Please sit down and wait a while. I'll go find the postman responsible for that area to get more information."
"Thank you for your help."
Ye Fanxing and Huo Dongfang sat on a bench in the post office.
These days, the post office is the busiest place.
Sending letters, telegrams, parcels, and making international long-distance calls.
The post office was bustling with activity.
Ye Fanxing stared intently at everything before her, feeling that this was the essence of everyday life.
While Ye Fanxing was observing others, Huo Dongfang was also discreetly sizing her up.
Ye Fanxing had very few clothes.
The newest one is the red dress that Huo Dongfang gave me.
Ye Fanxing is wearing her old high school uniform today.
When Ye Fanxing left the Cheng family, she only took a few school uniforms with her.
Some school uniforms were covered in patches.
Although Ye Fanxing's school uniform didn't fit well and was faded from washing, it was still neat and exuded a sense of poverty.
Her hair was thick and lush, with two long braids hanging down her chest, which further accentuated her scholarly air.
Her face shape is not the round face that is currently popular.
Her delicate nose and lips, placed on such a small face, did not look out of place at all; on the contrary, they added a touch of aloofness and otherworldly elegance.
Today, Ye Fanxing possesses the purity of a young girl, yet also exudes the unique charm of a mature woman.
Even so, Huo Dongfang still felt that Ye Fanxing was a little girl who needed to be cared for and loved.
Huo Dongfang thought to himself, "Since they've already announced their engagement to the public..."
Then he needs to buy some clothes for Ye Fanxing.
This would also save others from gossiping behind his back that he wouldn't even buy Ye Fanxing a new outfit.
I bought a new dress, new shoes, and a new hair tie.
I also bought face cream, necklaces, and earrings.
How many times can a woman be eighteen?
Huo Dongfang did not want Ye Fanxing to recall her eighteenth year years later with only old dresses and worn-out shoes.
He should dress Ye Fanxing up beautifully and let her enjoy the precious youth that she only has once in her life.
Huo Dongfang was lost in thought when Ye Fanxing called him several times before he cleared his throat and asked, "Xingxing, is something the matter?"
Ye Fanxing thought about it and concluded that, according to the original novel's plot, the admission notice was most likely intercepted by the Cheng family!
She needed to give Huo Dongfang a heads-up, so that he wouldn't be caught off guard if he was completely unaware of the situation.
"Uncle Huo, I mean, if... if the postman really did deliver the notice to the military compound, would the notice just disappear into thin air?"
Ye Fanxing subtly guided Huo Dongfang's thoughts.
"Even if someone stole my admission letter, there's only one. She can't just go to register based on the admission letter alone!"
