Chapter 144: Chapter 144 Are you still there?_1

Xia Guilan turned to look at Old Man Song.

Her eyes carried a hint of reproach.

"Dad, you shouldn’t indulge Little Nuan’s whims."

Horse riding is so dangerous.

Just now, when she saw her leap onto the horse, her heart had leapt to her throat.

Old Man Song thought for a moment, then simply said to them, "You don’t know yet, but Little Nuan is incredibly strong and agile. Didn’t you see how she harnessed the strength in her legs to vault onto the horse just now?"

Song Liang actually laughed, "My girl is formidable."

If she were to enlist, she’d probably have no trouble at all.

Xia Guilan was genuinely worried, although it was still bright daylight, she was after all just a young girl.

At that time, Chu Zizhou, who had just finished eating, stopped his jeep outside the gate of the Song family’s house.

He said, "I’m going to the Nanshan County Town guest house to see Aunt Zhu, Song Ting, Asheng, do you want to come with me?"

Therefore, Song Yunuan, who was clip-clopping along on her horse, heard the sound of the jeep coming from behind her.

These days, without a certain rank, you don’t get a vehicle assigned to you.

President Huang has an old one that often breaks down in the middle of the road; he mostly rides tractors or horse-drawn carts.

Then there was Chu Zizhou.

Song Yunuan curiously stopped, only to see her younger brother energetically waving at her through the open car window.

And of course, there was Song Ting, who was checking to see if her teacher had returned.

Song Yunuan continued to ride her horse along the roadside.

A look of surprise flashed through Chu Zizhou’s eyes.

She rode the horse way too well.

But he was too lazy to ponder over it.

Mainly because Song Ting was also sitting in the back.

His gaze was heavy, Aunt Zhu and his own mother were archenemies. If he really ended up with Song Ting, who was Aunt Zhu’s student, his mother would be the first to object.

Of course, the premise was that Song Ting liked him.

But just look at those clear, water-like eyes of hers, not even a hint of shyness in there.

All of this made Chu Zizhou feel deflated like a leaky ball.

They didn’t have the distance to think too much.

Safety first.

Especially with Song Ting sitting in the back.

After entering town, Song Yunuan first went to Old Mr. Ji’s home, where Uncle Xiao Dizi was sorting herbs, and the courtyard was filled with a pleasant medicinal fragrance.

When he saw Song Yunuan leading the horse inside, his eyes opened wide.

He readily promised to take good care of it.

He also told Song Yunuan that his older brother was at the horse field, and he was quite experienced with this sort of business.

Off he went, happily to arrange for horse feed.

Song Yunuan discussed her plan with Old Mr. Ji, who pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Song Yunuan started to make a phone call.

The call connected.

Song Yunuan: "Hello, could you please find Gu Huai’an for me? I’m from Nanshan County Town."

Old Mr. Ji’s eyes bulged.

He stood up as well.

Song Yunuan smiled warmly, "Grandpa Ji, no need to avoid it, I’ll just say a few words."

Someone like Gu Huai’an would have certainly brought a gift for Yingying as well.

Yingying and her aunt had returned to the Pear Tree Brigade, and a teddy bear toy was still sitting on the couch.

Without a second thought, it must have been from Gu Huai’an.

When it was known that Song Yunuan wanted to thank Gu Huai’an for the Children’s Day gifts he had sent to her and her brother, Old Mr. Ji pointed to the teddy bear on the couch and then said, "I’ll go have a look at your Big Jujube."

He strolled out, hands clasped behind his back.

The vast hall was left with only Song Yunuan inside.

At this moment, the phone was picked up.

A voice full of magnetism that seemed to bewitch the listener rang in her ear: "Hello..."

Oh my, Brother Huai’an, why does his voice sound so pleasing over the phone?

Song Yunuan’s heart inevitably fluttered, and her voice softened.

It was, after all, their first telephone conversation.

"Brother Huai’an, it’s me, Song Yunuan."

"Mm, I know!"

Song Yunuan said, "The Children’s Day gifts you asked Brigade Leader Chu to bring, my brother and I have received them, we both like them very much, thank you."

On the other end, Gu Huai’an’s eyes swept lightly over the duty officer, who immediately stood at attention and saluted, then left and thoughtfully closed the door behind him.

He had given Song Yunuan the telephone number of the Dragon Aviation base’s main duty office.

He wasn’t often in the office.

As long as he was at Dragon Aviation, he spent most of his time at the experimental base.

His eyes were gentle, and he chuckled softly, "As long as you like it."

Just four words, and then silence.

Was he about to hang up the call?

Song Yunuan squinted her eyes, waiting for the other party to say goodbye.

But there was none.

Who knows how much time passed before he asked, "Are you still there?"

"...Yes, I am."

"Why aren’t you speaking?"

Why did it feel a bit like chatting online?

Song Yunuan giggled, "Well, I just wanted to tell you that the cover of the bonus certificate you gave me looks quite pretty, I’m thinking of tearing it off to make a shoe pad."

Gu Huai’an: "..."

A shoe pad made of brocade?

Song Yunuan, you really dare to think.

He said indifferently, "It’s possible."

Once I give it to you, it’s yours to do with as you please.

"Oh, and the glass beads on the hairpin, my brother likes them, so I plan to pry them out for him to play marbles with."

Gu Huai’an was speechless again.

Those were natural amethyst pearls, how could you see them as glass beads?

Using them as marbles would be a complete waste.

I specifically chose purple just to make you look pretty when you wore them.

Gu Huai’an still said indifferently, "As long as it makes you happy."

Song Yunuan laughed heartily.

She said naturally, "Brother Huai’an, I know the cover is brocade, and the hairpin is made of pearls; I was just kidding with you."

Gu Huai’an had never met a girl like this before.

All of a sudden, he felt as if he had been teased.

His heart skipped a beat, a blush tinting his handsome face, but he still asked with a strained voice, "Is there anything else you need?"

"No, that’s it, goodbye, Brother Huai’an!" Song Yunuan said her farewells in a decisive manner.

"Wait a minute." Gu Huai’an hurriedly spoke up.

He hadn’t expected her to hang up the phone so quickly.

She was too eager; he had to stop her.

And upon hearing the word goodbye, Gu Huai’an felt exceptionally despondent.

It was as if something had been abruptly cut off.

"Are you in trouble?" Gu Huai’an asked.

"Which aspect are you referring to?"

"Xia Bowen!"

"Oh, you know about that, did Second Grandpa tell you?"

Gu Huai’an on the other end hummed a yes for confirmation.

"Why would Second Grandpa tell you about that?"

"He’s not in Beidu, he asked me to help him check on it."

"Nothing’s wrong at the moment."

"Really?"

"Since Brother Huai’an is so caring, I can’t really refuse your help, so here’s the thing, can you check his family situation for me?"

Gu Huai’an: "...Okay."

"There’s no rush, just write to inform me, or else if you call, I’ll have to strain my brain to remember. For safety’s sake, don’t mention their names directly in the letter, just use ’black rat’ and ’flower rat’ to represent Second Child Xia and Shangguan Yunqi, and then use their birth months to represent the family relationships, like if the eldest was born in March, just call him ’March rat’!"

Gu Huai’an on the other end was speechless.

I’m going to write a letter to you, and you’ll open it to find it filled with black rats, flower rats, one two three April big rats?

I think it’s demeaning.

"Okay!" Gu Huai’an agreed.

This time, the call was finally disconnected.

Then Song Yunuan remembered she hadn’t thanked him yet for Yao Hai’s matter.

She would have to wait until next time.

Song Yunuan started making another call, this time to Old Master Lin in the provincial city.

Unexpectedly, the person who answered was the man himself.

He was even surprised, asking who it was.

Song Yunuan’s voice was full of smiles, "Grandpa Lin, I’m Song Yunuan from Nanshan County Town, calling to inquire about your health, and also to check on the person you were looking for, you must have found him by now, right?"
