Chapter 30 -30 Unexpected Surprise

This man was none other than He Nan, who had just helped Shen Mianmian yesterday.

Yesterday, He Nan had helped her so much and even given her a military coat, so it was only right and proper for her to take the initiative to greet him.

Shen Mianmian jogged a few steps and stopped one step away from the man, “Big Brother He.”

“Mm.”

He Nan responded indifferently, standing up straight to look at her.

Wrapped in the military coat, her complexion did indeed look rosier than yesterday; it seemed she was no longer cold.

“Uncle Zhao isn’t home again?”

Shen Mianmian thought he was waiting for Zhao Xianlai, in Zhao Family Village, Zhao Xianlai was the only one who might have something to do with him.

“I am waiting for you,” He Nan stated plainly, the reason why he was waiting here.

Shen Mianmian was slightly startled, “Waiting for me?”

Without a word, He Nan opened the car’s back door. On the rear seat were a small pile of books; he gestured for Shen Mianmian to take a look, “These books are of no use to me, but you should be able to use them.”

In the afternoon, while reading, he had come across these books on the shelf, and the image of Shen Mianmian’s frosty red cheeks had popped into his head, prompting him to show up here.

Shen Mianmian immediately noticed the characters on the covers of the books, her eyes lighting up, “Are all these for me?” At noon, she was still worrying about where to borrow books, and now Big Brother He was giving her his books.

Her face couldn’t hide the joy, “Thank you, Big Brother He, I was just worrying about having nowhere to borrow books today.”

He Nan nodded, “The textbooks have been updated, so they’re not quite the same as what you’re studying now, but they should still be of some help.”

“It’s all middle school knowledge; it won’t be too far off anyway.” It’s only been a few years, and although the curriculum has changed, some subjects that require learning won’t have changed.

Especially mathematics.

“Mm,” He Nan’s voice was somewhat cold, “Move them back.”

Having never interacted much with girls, his attitude was simply like that towards a younger male cousin—both were close in age, with the only difference being gender.

“Alright.”

The books totaled over twenty pounds and were quite heavy. Shen Mianmian was already carrying a backpack and wearing a bulky military coat, and with her short stature and malnourishment, it was somewhat strenuous for her to carry them.

“You can take two trips,” He Nan reminded her indifferently, with no intention of helping.

Zhou Lanfang was a bit clueless, and Shen Jianhua wasn’t much smarter. If he were to go to the Zhou Family, afterwards, they would surely pester Shen Mianmian with questions.

Then the disadvantages he brought her might outweigh the benefits.

He hadn’t interacted with the Zhou Family, but through Zhao Xianlai, He Nan had already roughly figured out the situation of the Shen Family.

“Then please wait here a bit longer; I’ll be back soon.” If villagers saw the books left on the ground unattended, they would definitely pick them up and sell them as scrap. With He Nan here, she felt relieved.

Leaving the majority of the books behind, she carried a smaller portion and jogged back home.

Watching the fading light green figure dash away, He Nan felt she resembled some sort of short-legged small animal.

As the day grew late, Shen Mianmian didn’t dare delay He Nan’s time any further. Upon returning home, she threw the books and her schoolbag onto the bed and told Zhou Siyu, who was doing homework on the bed.

“Don’t touch my things.”

Zhou Siyu hadn’t had the chance to speak before Shen Mianmian ran out again.

Zhou Lanfang never missed an opportunity to tattle, and in front of Shen Jianhua, she complained, “Look, even when she’s not asked to work, she doesn’t do her homework either. She just got home and before her feet even touch the ground, she’s running off again.”
