After Transmigrating into a Cannon Fodder in the 1980s, I Trash Them All

[166: Uncharacteristic Behavior]

"I..." Su Hanyan felt embarrassed to admit her clothes were dirty, so she came up with a quick excuse. "I'm a bit timid, I'm afraid to go inside. Could you bring the documents out and give them to me directly?"

"You're timid?"

"Yes, I am!"

Chenchen silently curled his lips. "I didn't expect that! When I saw you slap someone, you didn't seem timid at all!"

"You saw that?" Su Hanyan was surprised.

Chenchen nodded slightly, confirming it.

"So, are you mocking me?" Su Hanyan frowned. "That woman provoked me, so I slapped her!"

"No, I'm not mocking you." Seeing her misunderstanding, Chenchen explained, "I'm just stating a fact. And here, there's no need to be afraid. This is my teacher, someone who has guided me."

Su Hanyan fell silent. She didn't want to admit her clothes were dirty.

It was dark along the way, and now that she was entering someone's home, her dirty clothes would be exposed. She couldn't stand the thought of being laughed at, especially by Chenchen. After all, she had her pride!

"What are you afraid of?" he said gently. "With me here, you have nothing to fear!"

"Sigh..." Su Hanyan sighed and decided to be honest. "Actually, my clothes are too dirty. I rushed out and didn't have time to change..."

After saying this, she stepped forward and pulled at her clothes to show him. "See, they're really dirty! I'm afraid of embarrassing myself!"

Chenchen chuckled softly. "I see."

If she hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have noticed.

"Wait here for me," Chenchen said, then changed direction and walked towards the small two-story building at the far end of the row.

"Hey, where are you going?" she hurriedly asked.

"Just wait for me."

"Okay." Since that was the case, she would wait.

Chenchen unlocked the door and entered the house. He greeted the old lady sitting in the living room reading a book, then went straight upstairs.

Seeing him hurriedly, the old lady took off her reading glasses and called out, "Chenchen, what are you up to?"

"Something urgent."

In no time at all, Chenchen came back downstairs, holding a brand new, stylish wool coat.

"Chenchen, why are you using your mom's clothes?" Jin Yan asked in surprise. "Has she come back?"

"No." Chenchen stopped and looked at the coat. "Since she doesn't need it, let someone else use it."

"Who are you giving it to?" the old lady wondered.

Chenchen didn't answer, just saying to her, "Grandma, I'll be back late! You should rest early!"

"Hey, hey..."

Seeing her grandson fly out the door, Jin Yan could not help but be curious.

The coat was one Chenchen bought at a local department store when he went to the South. In his mother's more beautiful and youthful days, she loved dressing up and shopping for gifts whenever his father returned home.

This practice was retained by Chenchen. He rarely saw his mother after his return home, but every year he gave her gifts at the New Year's.

Now he was taking the coat and heading out to deliver it to someone else to wear, which was truly out of character.
