Rebirth in the 80s: The Scholar Wife is Cute
Chapter 483: You Are Still Young

Chapter 483: Chapter 483: You Are Still Young

She was still young, and that gesture was too frivolous.

He averted his gaze and nodded slightly, "It’s okay, if you like it, I can bring you some more next time."

Shen Mianmian finished the last bite of the mung bean cake and took a sip of water. Hearing what he said, she hurriedly shook her head to decline, "No need, even the tastiest treats can become boring if you have too much. It’s good enough just to try them."

The delicacies clearly weren’t cheap, probably costing as much as a month’s living expenses for a whole family in the countryside. She couldn’t bring herself to shamelessly ask He Nan to buy more.

A hint of a deeper meaning surfaced in He Nan’s eyes as he said, "Besides these, Beijing has many other delicacies and tourist spots worth visiting. If you don’t want to return to Licheng in the future, developing your career here in Beijing wouldn’t be bad."

"..."

Shen Mianmian gave him a puzzled look. She wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, but his words sounded almost like he wanted to lure her to Beijing.

She asked tentatively, "He Nan, are you encouraging me to study hard and try to get into Beijing University?"

He Nan gave her a glance and replied irrelevantly, "You’re still young."

After saying that, he picked up his glass of water and drank half of it in a few gulps, then stood up, "Go to sleep early."

Shen Mianmian sent him off joyfully like a little rabbit, "Good night, He Nan."

He Nan nodded and advised lightly, "Make sure to lock the door. In the future, look through the peephole before opening the door."

"Okay."

Shen Mianmian nodded obediently in agreement.

He Nan had brought a total of six boxes of pastries, three different flavors: mung bean, sesame, and red bean cakes, two boxes of each type.

Opening one of the boxes, she and He Nan each had one, leaving four untouched. Although they were delicious, she didn’t overindulge and carefully wrapped up the rest.

Xiaocui and Lu Siyuan definitely hadn’t tasted them before. It was a good chance for them to try, and she could ask Siyuan to take some back for Grandpa Lu.

After putting everything away, Shen Mianmian took a bath and lay on the bed. She fell asleep quickly.

The next morning, she got up early, tidied her things, and had just finished washing her clothes when Lu Siyuan arrived with Dajun and Xiaocui.

It was Xiaocui’s first time in the city, and she was very reserved. The tall buildings she’d only seen on television were now real before her eyes. Walking up the stairs, she barely dared to step too hard, afraid they might collapse.

Once she was in the apartment, she hardly dared to move an inch, her hands and feet pressed together, sitting on the sofa as if she were glued to it.

Compared to her, Dajun seemed much more at ease.

He was just a little surprised when he initially saw Shen Mianmian; he hadn’t expected that Lu Siyuan’s business partner was a young girl.

After he entered, he didn’t wander around, choosing to sit on the sofa just like Xiaocui.

Shen Mianmian poured water for the three of them. Seeing how tense Xiaocui was, she pulled her up to her feet, "The room you’ll be sleeping in is all set up; go see if you like it."

At those words, Xiaocui hurriedly bent over to pick up her belongings. What she called luggage was just a change of clothes, a toothbrush, and a pair of shoes.

Once in the room, she was astonished, "Mianmian, am I really going to live here from now on?"

There was a soft bed, clean and new linens, a wardrobe, and the room was large and tidy. It was like something out of a TV show, even better than a freshly built three-room brick house.

It was downright heavenly; she had never even dreamed of such a place.

Shen Mianmian nodded with a smile, "Yes, you’ll live here, and I’ll be next door."
