Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s-Chapter 1487: Mysterious Trust and Fondness

"Yes. Are you folks in some kind of trouble? If you need our help, just speak up. We will definitely help," Qin Jian was the first to speak.

"This..." Lin Sheng looked into Qin Jian’s eyes, steadfast and profound, like the myriad stars in the heavens, and he felt an inexplicable trust and fondness for Qin Jian.

"It’s okay. Just say it, I’ll keep your secret," Qin Jian encouraged him to speak out.

Seeing him hesitate, Qin Jian knew he must have something to say but was unable to speak.

Lin Sheng was moved and wanted to voice the troubles buried deep in his heart, but he dared not. Ultimately, he shook his head and said, "Brother Qin, I’d rather not say. Maybe I’ll tell you some other day when I feel like it."

"Alright then," Qin Jian had no intention of prying into his privacy, "But, can you tell me why Mu Mian refuses to help me send a letter home? It’s indeed very troubling for us to be recuperating here. Moreover, having us two men staying at Mu Mian’s house might harm her reputation if word gets out."

"She refuses to send the letter for you?" Lin Sheng asked in confusion.

"Yes," Qin Jian sighed lightly. "If possible, I’d still like to send a letter home. Then I could return and stop being a burden to you."

After hearing this, Lin Sheng quickly thought it over, then clenched his teeth and said, "You write it. I’ll deliver the letter for you."

"Really?" Qin Jian’s eyes lit up, not expecting this outcome.

"Of course," Lin Sheng said confidently.

"Good. Please find me some paper and a pen. I’ll write the letter."

"Alright."

Lin Sheng couldn’t find a single sheet of paper or a pen after rummaging through the house: "There’s none here, I’ll go ask Mu Mian."

"Alright. Please make sure to persuade her," Qin Jian added after speaking, "My wife and two children, barely a month old, are waiting for me at home. If I don’t return, my wife will definitely worry! I just want to go back soon and give her peace of mind."

Lin Sheng looked on and nodded deeply, "Don’t worry. I’ll definitely persuade Mu Mian." frёewebnoѵēl.com

When Lin Sheng entered the kitchen, Mu Mian had just finished washing her hands.

The mountain water was cold, turning her small hands bright red from the chill, Lin Sheng felt pity, and quickly clasped her icy hands inside his chest: "When we move to the city, we won’t ever have to wash hands with icy water during winter."

"Lin Sheng, does it pain your heart?" Mu Mian asked with a smile.

"Yes. It pains me a lot," Lin Sheng held tightly to the cold hand, continuously transferring the warmth from his chest to her.

"I’m used to it," Mu Mian withdrew her hand from Lin Sheng’s embrace and gently took his large hand, "Come on, let’s go to my room and talk. In the afternoon, Madam Wu gave me a bunch of freshly roasted peanuts, they smell incredible..."

Lin Sheng sat by the warm kang, and Mu Mian brought out the peanuts, placing them in front of Lin Sheng: "You eat."

Lin Sheng smiled at Mu Mian and began, "I’ve had such a happy New Year. Those two in the house are utterly depressed. I heard Brother Tian Niu just got married, and the next day he was sent out on a mission. Brother Qin’s wife just had a baby not long ago. These two are frantic to return and reunite with their families."

After speaking, Lin Sheng began to peel the peanuts.

This seemingly casual remark started a ripple in Mu Mian’s heart...
