"When Sister-in-law was pregnant, she ate so much fruit and often helped out at the factory. It always has its benefits," Xu Nianhua thought of her chubby little nephew and wished she could fly back imdiately.
Unfortunately, flying isn’t sothing she could afford now.
"Mom, is the baby really cute? Sigh, as an aunt, I have to wait until the New Year to see my little nephew."
"Just focus on your studies. It’s only a few months away from the New Year," Ji Ying also missed her daughter but knew she was off to university—a dream not everyone could realize. Changing the subject, she asked, "By the way, you said you were going to send photos last ti, where are they?"
"I’ve sent them, I was just about to discuss this with you."
As Xu Nianhua replied, she figured her big sister just had a boy, so her mom must be at the hospital taking care of her. She spoke a few words with Ji Ying before hanging up the phone.
She then wrote another letter to her second brother. Calling over there wasn’t very convenient, and sending letters was relatively fast.
She shared the good news and sent off the photos to her second brother as well.
Just out of the post office, she saw Pei Yicheng and proactively greeted him, "Yicheng, are you here to send a letter too?"
Upon seeing her, Pei Yicheng let out a sigh of relief. Her roommates had told him that she went to the post office alone, so he had hurried over.
Xu Nianhua was notoriously bad with directions.
"No, I was looking for you," Pei Yicheng answered while handing her the folder in his hand, "There’s more work. Translate these docunts for fifty. It’s not much, but if you do a good job this ti, there’ll be even more work in the future."
This was a company that needed translation talents for international business. He happened to co across the opportunity and recomnded Xu Nianhua for the job, securing it for her. If she did well, there would be a steady stream of work for her in the future.
"Thank you, Yicheng."
Xu Nianhua smiled with narrowed eyes, happy about having more translation work, which ant more money to earn. He even ntioned that doing well could bring even more work in the future. She had to do her best.
"You’re welco." Seeing her empty-handed, Pei Yicheng asked, "Did you send off all the photos?"
"Yes, they’re all sent."
When Xu Nianhua started to discuss the photos, she quickly said, "Yicheng, what happened to that side-profile photo you took of the other day? It’s missing."
Pei Yicheng paused for a mont before replying, "It might have gotten mixed up with my photos. I’ll give it to you next ti."
"Okay."
Xu Nianhua was eager to get back to her dorm to work on the translation. She quickened her pace and, seeing Pei Yicheng still following her, she said, "Yicheng, you don’t need to walk back, I know the way."
One month was enough for Xu Nianhua to learn her way around the campus.
"Just to be safe."
Pei Yicheng, disregarding Xu Nianhua, simply stood by her side. A handso man and a beautiful woman always drew attention, and as Pei Yicheng and Xu Nianhua talked about work, they seed to enjoy the conversation imnsely. Many students were shocked to witness this scene.
The sa Pei Yicheng who was talked about so much by everyone was now rumored to be as high as the sky. But now, were they dating?
"I’m here, goodbye." Seeing the dormitory a stone’s throw away, Xu Nianhua smiled and bid farewell to Pei Yicheng.
"If you need any help, just ask. This manuscript must not be seen by others," Pei Yicheng reminded her.
Clutching the docunt folder, Xu Nianhua assured him confidently, "Yicheng, you can relax. I understand the need for confidentiality."
As Xu Nianhua climbed the stairs, she wondered when Yicheng had beco like her mother, fussing over her?
