Transmigration: Flirted with My Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 704 - 703: Wishing You a Late Blessing

Mr. Ren admitted that Lin Nianhe was excellent, but he didn’t trust her.

Scientific research is lonely, it’s common to spend years in remote places for a project, sometimes unable to see family at all;

Scientific research is also frustrating; sometimes, despite all efforts, one cannot advance even a millimeter forward—a step that seems light, yet countless people can’t complete in a lifetime.

In Lin Nianhe’s experiences, while being advantageous externally, each was regarded as a ticking time bomb by Mr. Ren, unpredictable when it might explode.

Elder Ji listened to his old friend’s words, slightly furrowed his brow imperceptibly, but didn’t help out in the conversation. Instead, he looked at Lin Nianhe, signaling her to speak for herself.

Lin Nianhe smiled and said, "I also don’t know."

Mr. Ren’s eyebrows knitted tightly.

Don’t know? What kind of answer is that?

Elder Ji also showed disapproval.

This girl is normally very quick-witted, why the lack of response today?

Lin Nianhe, with a calm demeanor and a continuing smile, said: "I’ve never participated in any real scientific research, and to assert now that I could definitely adapt and get used to it would be a lie. I can’t promise you anything; I can only say—I don’t like losing, and I’ve never lost."

Elder Ji’s brow did not relax, but a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.

Mr. Ren suddenly laughed.

"Not bad, not bad."

He repeated "not bad" twice.

"Being realistic, that’s the most important quality for doing research."

The sharpness in Mr. Ren’s eyes faded, replaced by a kinder expression of an elder, "Girl, I dislike flamboyance and abhor falsehood. You did well, learn well."

Lin Nianhe obediently nodded, truly unpretentiously stated, "Definitely."

Mr. Ren truly disliked any flamboyance, and after speaking a few words with Lin Nianhe, he took his leave.

Lin Nianhe accompanied Elder Ji with Ji Mingyi to see the guest out, and once Mr. Ren had left, Elder Ji looked at Lin Nianhe and laughed: "You, despite being young, are quite astute."

Lin Nianhe feigned ignorance: "What do you mean by that?"

Elder Ji laughed shaking his head and, as he turned back, caught a glimpse of his foolish grandson, immediately his smiling face turned, rolling his eyes.

Ji Mingyi really didn’t understand: "Grandpa, what’s wrong now?"

Elder Ji couldn’t be bothered to school him at that moment and shook his head heading inside.

Ji Mingyi turned to Lin Nianhe: "Nianhe, what’s up with Grandpa?"

Lin Nianhe: "Maybe Grandpa remembered something unpleasant."

Ji Mingyi: "...?"

Lin Nianhe strolled around before sitting back down next to Su Yuncheng.

He timely handed her a cup of warm tea, asking, "How is it?"

"It’s a bit troublesome," Lin Nianhe slightly furrowed her brow.

Su Yuncheng tensed involuntarily: "What happened?"

Lin Nianhe: "I suddenly realized, I don’t seem to have an appropriate dress for the engagement party."

Su Yuncheng: "..."

Nowadays, engagement parties aren’t so elaborate, mostly just both sides having a meal together, or simply agreeing verbally on a wedding date is enough.

Rarely do they, like themselves, bother about holding an engagement party, and there are no high demands regarding attire; being clean and neat is sufficient.

But Lin Nianhe still wanted to look beautiful.

An important moment in life should not be taken lightly.

But life, always has its arranged times.

Like what to wear for an engagement party.

Aunt Lin and Mrs. Su have organized countless events or meetings, organizing a small engagement party is nothing to them. frёewebηovel.cѳm

For something like clothes, why should Lin Nianhe worry?

They had already prepared it for her.

Lin Nianhe, wearing a red wool coat, looked at herself in the mirror from left to right and asked a crucial question: "What is Brother Yuncheng wearing?"

"He’s wearing a military uniform, you don’t need to worry about it." Aunt Lin stood behind her, supporting her shoulders, quite satisfied with the garment, "Mmm, it looks good."

Lin Nianhe’s smile stiffened at the corner of her lips: "Red with green?"

"Yes, it looks so pretty, just like a flower."

Lin Nianhe: "Actually, I think it’s a bit cold in a wool coat. Mom, can I borrow your military uniform to wear?"

"You’re not standing guard outside, why are you afraid of the cold indoors?" Aunt Lin looked at her puzzledly, "Besides, you’re not a soldier, why would you wear a military uniform?"

Lin Nianhe: "Because... I’ve always dreamed of wearing a military uniform since I was little..."

Aunt Lin always respected her children’s dreams, so she found a set of her own military uniform for Lin Nianhe.

"This set is for you, just wear it at home, don’t wear it out."

"What about the engagement banquet..."

"Of course you’re still wearing this red one! Your dream is to wear military uniforms, not to get engaged in one."

Lin Nianhe: "..."

It turns out, never try to be sly with mom, whether she takes it seriously or not, the outcome will be painful.

Unable to resolve it herself, Lin Nianhe turned her attention to Su Yuncheng.

Thinking of this solution, she didn’t even change her clothes, told Aunt Lin she was going to borrow a book from Su Yuncheng, and ran straight to the neighbor’s house.

By coincidence, Su Yuncheng was also asked to change his clothes to avoid any unfitting parts.

Lin Nianhe knocked on the door, and the one who opened it was Su Yuncheng, strikingly decked in his military uniform.

Su Yuncheng looked at her, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.

Lin Nianhe had fair skin, and she looked particularly gorgeous in red, her delicate little face as tender as it could break, like a snowy bun. Her big doey black eyes seemed to hide hooks that caught him, making him indulge and not wanting to leave even for a moment.

Lin Nianhe was amazed by him too.

The last time she saw him in dress uniforms was when she celebrated New Year’s two years ago, when he returned with the elders, his overwhelming presence made her overlook his looks by a bit.

Today, viewing him alone like this...

Done for, her head started to itch, her love-stricken brain was kicking in.

"Nianhe? What’s wrong?"

Su Yuncheng saw her gazing at him dumbfounded, inevitably a bit worried.

Lin Nianhe opened her mouth, her original plan abruptly turning into:

"I’m here to wish you late New Year blessings."

Su Yuncheng: "...?"

Is this...

Because she tried on the clothes for the engagement and suddenly missed him so badly, she found such a lame excuse to come see him?

It wasn’t strange that he thought this way because he had been missing her just a moment ago.

His ears slightly blushed, he reached out to wrap his arms around her shoulder, pulled her into the room, and said, "Mom, Nianhe came to get a book from me, you go ahead with your work."

"Okay, okay." Mrs. Su smiled warmly at Lin Nianhe, her eyes lighting up, "Nianhe looks really good in those clothes."

Lin Nianhe still hadn’t regained her composure, responding instinctively, "Aunt Su, sorry for the bother."

"No need for pleasantries, you two go."

"Alright, please carry on."

Lin Nianhe let herself be dragged dizzily into his room by Su Yuncheng. With a gentle tug of his hand, she crashed into his embrace.

Su Yuncheng held her, his eyes and brows smiling.

He said, "Nianhe, you look really beautiful."

Lin Nianhe blinked, feeling with the mood set like this, it would be a waste not to do something to honor this perfect moment.

She skillfully grabbed Su Yuncheng’s collar, and as he obligingly bent down, she planted a kiss on his face.
