There was a ten-minute silence.
Sie Yufei, trembling, took the acceptance letter, looked at it back and forth a dozen tis, and finally broke into a silly grin.
"Xiao He!"
"I got in!"
"I’ve really been accepted!"
"I finally... I finally got in..."
Lin Nianhe looked at him and couldn’t help but think of an old story — Fan Jin passing the imperial exam.
"Hey, hey, Fourth Brother, calm down..."
Before Lin Nianhe could finish speaking, Sie Yufei bounced up with the letter and dashed out.
"I——got——into——film——school——"
"Flap flap——"
A flock of birds flew up from the courtyard.
Sie Yufei was bouncing around, telling everyone, "I got into film school," and if it was a guy, he couldn’t avoid giving him a hug.
Luckily, this was in the courtyard where everyone knew each other. If it were anywhere else, they’d probably call the Public Security as soon as he scared the innocent birds away.
Lin Nianhe painfully rubbed her ears and quickly shut the door.
Having such good hearing wasn’t a good thing; it made her head ache.
But she still smiled — who wouldn’t smile seeing this pile of money as big as a hill?
This ti, she could get 960,000 yuan.
Enough for Lin Nianhe to recover and prepare the startup funds for the next phase of her business.
She stored her share away, since Mr. Lin and Aunt Lin never rifled through her room.
Then she put aside the two shares of 640,000 for Wang Shui and Wen Lan, and the rest would have to wait for Sie Yufei to finish being crazy to co and get it.
After waiting for a while, Uncle Zhang, the doorman, called and said soone nad Wen Lan was looking for her, asking if he should let her in.
The courtyard had always been like this with outsiders. Even though Uncle Zhang had seen Wen Lan a few tis, even if he knew her, he still needed Lin Nianhe’s permission to let her in.
Lin Nianhe quickly agreed, fearing Wen Lan might get lost, so she went out a little to et her.
"Silly girl, what’s up?" Wen Lan obediently brought two sacks.
Lin Nianhe whispered, "Divvying up the money. Aunt Wen just brought the sharing from ’Forest’."
Wen Lan paused in her steps, frowning, "Why is there more? Last ti was shaless enough; I’m not taking it this ti."
Lin Nianhe couldn’t help but laugh, "Are you crazy, refusing money delivered to your doorstep?"
Sister Lan stubbornly said, "It’s true, right? How can there be a reason to just lie around at ho and still get money?"
Lin Nianhe smacked her lips, "What about Sister Shui?"
Wen Lan’s thoughts were quite unique: "izi took Xiaoxiao to the Sumr Palace."
Lin Nianhe: "..."
What she wanted to ask was if Sister Shui wouldn’t take it either?
Sister Shui indeed wouldn’t take it either, and almost had a falling out with Lin Nianhe.
After taking Wang Xiaoxiao back to the No. 88 Courtyard and hearing from Wu Genmao that Lin Nianhe was looking for her and Wen Lan, she left her sister at ho and went to the courtyard herself.
"Well, this is the first ti I’ve seen soone trying to give money away and failing."
Lin Nianhe sat on the sofa, looking quite helpless.
Wang Shui reached out and poked her head, "It’s also my first ti seeing tens of thousands being given away so flippantly."
"Not flippantly," Lin Nianhe said, "It’s ant for you two. Try anyone else, and if they dare take one piece from , I’ll throw a brick at them."
Wang Shui laughed, then shook her head, "Nianhe, we really can’t take any more of this money, don’t say the agreent spelled it out, I think between us, it shouldn’t just be about the agreent, after all... with soone else, we wouldn’t give them everything we’ve got."
That’s affection for you.
Lin Nianhe thought for a mont and nodded, "Okay, I won’t split it with you, but I do have another plan. Would you like to invest?"
"In what?"
"It’s just..."
Just as Lin Nianhe began, the house door opened, and Aunt Lin ca back.
Lin Nianhe imdiately stopped talking and explained the pile of money at ho, "Mom, Aunt Wen ca to give and Fourth Sie the box office share from the film."
Aunt Lin glanced casually at the pile, looking genuinely uninterested, and rely said, "Then quickly call Yufei to take the money away; it’s in the way here."
Lin Nianhe: "..."
The first ti seeing money disliked for being in the way.
Wang Shui and Wen Lan both stood up, and Niuwa, who was reading in the room, ca running out. They greeted Aunt Lin politely, "Hello, Auntie."
"Oh, hello." Aunt Lin looked worn out, squeezing out a smile, and said to Wang Shui and Wen Lan, "You all sit down, I’m just here to get sothing, later let Xiao He take you to eat."
Then she rubbed Niuwa’s head, "Reading, huh? Go ahead, don’t mind ."
Niuwa looked at her worriedly, "Auntie, you haven’t eaten either, right?"
Aunt Lin’s heart ward, she smiled, "I’ll eat in a bit."
Niuwa nodded, reminding her again, "Make sure to eat, okay?"
"Sure."
Lin Nianhe followed Aunt Lin, asking her, "Mom, is there another eting tonight?"
"Mm, there are so things, don’t ask." Aunt Lin shook her head at Lin Nianhe and continued, "Your dad won’t be ho tonight either, rember to lock up before you sleep."
"Got it, I know."
Lin Nianhe hurried to the kitchen, grabbed a pack of the Lin Family’s regular beef tongue pastries, and when Aunt Lin ca out with what she needed, she handed it to her.
"Mom, if you’re really busy, have sothing to eat."
"Okay, go back, no need to see off."
"Oh right, Mom, I’ll be going to the Northwest in a couple of days." Lin Nianhe followed her to the door, quickly reporting her travel plans.
Aunt Lin paused, frowning, "Where exactly?"
Lin Nianhe thought her mom’s expression was a bit odd, pointing back at Wen Lan, "Over by Shaanxi Province."
"Oh, then go ahead." Aunt Lin relaxed, "Be careful on the road. Your dad and I probably won’t have ti to send you."
"I should be going with Brother Yuncheng, so don’t worry."
"Alright, with Yuncheng accompanying you, I’m always reassured... Alright, I really have to go, don’t stay up too late."
"Okay."
After seeing Aunt Lin off, Lin Nianhe didn’t imdiately go back; she walked out a bit further, looking around.
As expected, most of the lights around were out.
"What major thing’s co up again..." Lin Nianhe muttered to herself.
She had no access to those matters, couldn’t handle them; all she could do was try to do her best at what she could manage.
So, she went back ho to continue discussing business with the two of them.
...
Hospital.
Sie Yufei was pacing back and forth in the corridor with his acceptance letter.
Since returning to Beijing these past ten days, he had almost visited the hospital every day.
Sotis he stopped at the hospital gate, sotis turned around at the ward door.
He thought today was a perfect chance; he could go in proudly and tell her like an old friend that he got into college.
Such an excuse shouldn’t make her feel burdened...
Sie Yufei silently crafted his words, continually guessing her reaction.
Suddenly, the ward door close at hand opened, and Old Wu ca out with a hot water kettle, just in ti to see Sie Yufei hovering by the door.
