Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

The few of them got together almost immediately after the military training ended. He Xi's feet were not able to exert force easily, and his breathing became a little unstable when he walked from the dormitory building to the state-owned restaurant outside.

Lu Jinan, supporting He Xi, was the first to arrive and asked for a private room. He Zhien and Lu Yunshen followed closely behind. The four of them ordered food first, asked the chef to sit down, and drank hot tea while waiting for the other three.

The four of them were speechless. He Zhien felt that if he didn't do something, he might lose his sister.

Since He Xi fell ill last time, although we are not as close as before, we still talk to each other and keep in touch. Now we don’t talk even when we meet.

Therefore, He Zhien tried to repair the relationship between him and his sister through Lu Jinan, but Lu Jinan refused, saying that He Xi's feet made it inconvenient for her to go up and down the stairs, and meeting her would affect her mood and would be detrimental to the patient's recovery.

He Zhien is just like this, always slow in reaction to everything. For all these years he never noticed that He's mother treated him and his two sisters differently. He was content with the status quo every day, immersed in the big net woven for him by others.

He instinctively believed that everything he had was also possessed by others, and he was never an exception. Things were never as simple as he imagined.

In fact, if He Xi had been more resolute at the time, this would not have happened. Later, Lu Jinan took a leave of absence and took He Xi to the hospital. The doctor said that her feet were severely frostbitten. The entire layer of skin on her little toe would fall off, and tender flesh would start to grow from the inside.

The little toe seems to be useless for walking, but it plays a role in balancing walking. He Xi hardly dared to touch the ground with his whole foot, and barely used his heel to support his body balance, but he could not walk far.

I can't wear socks because of the abrasion on my heel. In March, when it can still snow in the north, I have to wear a pair of size 40 slippers barefoot all day long, otherwise my left foot can't fit into them.

So not only did Lu Jinan not want to talk, He Xi also deliberately avoided He Zhien.

Time seemed to stand still until the other three people arrived.

He Fei, Xiao Yan, and their instructor Xiao Yi, reunited again this time. The last time they reunited was at He Xi's house when they accompanied Lu Yunshen and He Zhien to visit relatives.

He Xi stood up to welcome He Fei. He Fei trotted over and hugged He Xi. Seeing this, Lu Jinan wanted to steady her shaking body, but was laughed at by Xiao Yan: "She is not that delicate. It's just a hug."

As a result, the water cup on the table made a crisp collision sound, and the hot tea slowly flowed down the tablecloth, making a "tick-tick" sound.

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, looking at He Xi's thin figure, and wondered: "Are you tired and thin again from military training? I'm not saying anything to you, brother-in-law, but you still have to eat well."

He Fei also found something wrong. Why did she go out wearing slippers? Although she was often too lazy to dress up, she would not wear slippers on an occasion like today. They seemed to be men's slippers.

He Fei took a few steps back and looked at He Xi again. What happened to her left foot?

He Fei frowned and looked at Lu Jinan: "You promised me to take good care of her. Tell me what's wrong with her now?"

While waiting for Lu Jinan's answer, she helped He Xi to sit down and patted He Xi's hand: "It's okay, sister, let's see who dares to bully you."

Lu Jinan also took a seat and stared at He Zhien with his narrow eyes for a while before looking away.

The atmosphere in the state-owned restaurant was quite good and the place was kept very clean. As the three people arrived, the waiter began to serve the dishes, which were all local specialties and the portions were generous.

Lu Jinan picked up some food for He Xi, with one hand on the back of her chair, and used the newly picked serving chopsticks to pick up the food and put it into He Xi's bowl.

He Zhien felt that this man was just acting on purpose to make everyone disappointed in him as a brother.

No, if we let Lu Jinan go ahead, that would be admitting our failure. He Zhien stood up and put a large piece of fish into He Xi's bowl, saying proudly, "Eat some fish to replenish your body. The fish has a delicate texture and high nutritional value."

He Xi was stunned for a moment, neither accepting nor refusing.

She doesn't eat fish because she had a skin disease in her previous life and she didn't want to eat it over time. The original owner wanted to eat it but couldn't, so she gave up the idea over time.

In short, they both don’t like fish, not that they can’t eat it.

Lu Jinan didn't show it, he was afraid that He Zhien would notice something. He Fei couldn't help it and took the piece of fish with chopsticks. He Zhien looked very confident: "We have both. I won't be partial."

"She doesn't eat fish, especially big fish like this. She never eats a single bite of it. It was only during the Chinese New Year that my dad forced her to take a bite of the fish." He Fei interrupted him and told him the truth.

The three brothers had complicated expressions. He Xi obviously didn't want to say anything, so Lu Jinan asked what he had always been curious about: "Why did you end up in Harbin?"

He Xi ate the mountain of food in front of her in small bites. Love is heavy, just like the food and dishes in front of her exceeded her intake in one meal.

He Zhien has been observing He Xi. She always feels that her sister seems to have changed, but she can't tell where she has changed. Is it her appearance? She is indeed prettier than before. Even He Fei has become prettier. Is there anything else?

The waiter brought a bowl of chicken soup, which Lu Jinan had ordered in advance. He didn't expect it to coincide with today's dinner.

Lu Jinan's bony fingers nimbly stirred the hot soup for her, not feeling bothered at all. What had he, as a brother, done for his sisters?

Lu Yunshen explained that the army needed to allocate troops to provide military training for the freshmen, or to go to other provinces. After inquiring about the situation and discussing with the leaders, it would be considered a visit to their relatives.

After arriving in Harbin and giving some gifts, we were finally able to accurately locate their school.

He Zhien apologized: "Xi, I'm sorry. I didn't expect you to get frostbite so badly. I also failed to manage the team well and misjudged the trajectory of events."

In the end, he almost cried. In the end, it was He Xi's fault? He blamed her for not contacting him, not sharing every bit of her life with him, and why she didn't say anything. He also wanted to participate in their lives. It was his fault for missing out, and it was their fault for not saying anything.

After the dinner, facing the howling cold wind and the slippery ground, Lu Jinan decisively chose to carry He Xi back.

Lu Jinan turned his back and squatted in front of her: "Come on, little liar, this is a rare opportunity."

"Okay." He Xi leaned over and hugged his neck tightly, "Yeah, you haven't carried me on your back yet."

The snow was creaking underfoot. He Xi leaned her head on his shoulder, wanting to get closer to him. "Hey, do you think we will be in the same classroom?"

He heard a flattered voice from the front: "Why, can't we be apart for a while?"

"Yeah." He Xi nodded and analyzed seriously: "You see, we are now the class with the weakest teaching staff, so many classes may have to be mixed together."

Lu Jinan's hands were slightly clenched, and the slightly protruding blue veins on his hands showed that he was unhappy. It was really difficult for his fiancée to get close to him.

He Xi: It’s not difficult, she is right here, why don’t you take the initiative!
