Chapter 939: A Timely Rain

Han Jingheng was quick in action. After hanging up the phone, he called in the relevant person in charge and, after asking about the situation, explained the costumes and props his niece wanted to borrow.

The person in charge reviewed the list: "As for the factory and costumes, I’m afraid we don’t have enough here, but I know there’s some over at the steel factory. I can go check it out."

Although Han Jingheng really wanted to help his niece, he knew he couldn’t affect the factory’s National Day performance: "Please help me check, but the premise is that it doesn’t interfere with their use."

The person in charge laughed: "Director, the timing won’t clash. They can send it over to us as soon as they’re done using it."

Hearing this, Han Jingheng nodded: "Thank you for running the errand. If possible, please help me gather all the outfits."

The person in charge readily agreed and left.

The next morning, Xinyan was about to go to the teaching building with her roommates when someone knocked on the door: "Classmate Han Xinyan, someone is looking for you downstairs."

Xinyan was a bit stunned upon hearing this, thinking: It’s so early, who would be looking for me?

He Jinxuan just called last night, so it couldn’t be him. Who else could it be?

Xinyan answered, holding her books as she walked out, and didn’t forget to say to her roommates: "I’ll go down first, you guys take your time."

However, just as she went out, everyone followed closely behind her downstairs.

As soon as Xinyan exited the dormitory building, she saw Han Jingheng: "Uncle."

Seeing his niece, Han Jingheng couldn’t hide the smile on his face: "Yanyan, I hope I’m not taking up your time?"

Hearing this, Xinyan felt warmth in her heart, realizing he came so early fearing he might waste her time: "Uncle, it’s fine, I have some time."

Han Jingheng pointed to a car parked not far away: "I gathered the costumes and props you needed. However, the factory’s costumes weren’t enough, so five were borrowed from elsewhere. You need to return them early the next morning after your performance so they aren’t affected by their nighttime show."

Xinyan playfully hugged Han Jingheng’s arm: "Uncle, you’re the best, this really helped us a lot, thank you, Uncle."

At this moment, the other roommates also came over, having heard what Han Jingheng had said earlier.

Seeing them come over, Xinyan quickly introduced them.

After exchanging pleasantries, Han Jingheng then asked: "Where should these things be placed for you guys?"

Xinyan looked at Cui Haili: "Sister Cui, should these be put in the dormitory, or moved to the classroom?"

Cui Haili thought for a moment: "How about we leave them in the dormitory first, then move them this afternoon."

It just so happened that the factory staff responsible for the costumes and props were also there. They checked the quantity in person, made a record, and everyone helped move them back to the dormitory.

Han Jingheng turned around from the car, bringing out a bag of food: "Uncle didn’t know what you liked to eat, so I just bought a variety. Share it with your classmates."

Xinyan gave Han Jingheng a sweet smile: "Thank you, Uncle."

Xinyan handed it to Zhang Zhaodi beside her: "Help me take it back to the dorm, we’ll eat it together when we come back at noon."

Zhang Zhaodi took it gladly and said: "Mission guaranteed to be completed."

Other dorm mates watching joined in the fun: "Zhaodi, are you guaranteeing to bring it back to the dorm or guaranteeing to eat together?"

Zhang Zhaodi wasn’t offended and said aloud: "Guarantying both."

Hearing her words, everyone laughed, and their faces were full of envy.

Han Jingheng didn’t stay long, fearing he would delay Xinyan’s class: "Alright, you should head to class, Uncle needs to return to work. Remember to call if you need anything."

Xinyan nodded: "Okay."

As she watched the car leave, the few who went back to the dormitories also came down.

Jiang Peiqin came over and wrapped an arm around Xinyan’s shoulder: "Your uncle is really good to you."

Xinyan replied with a smile: "Indeed, as you said."

A classmate standing by earlier whispered: "I didn’t expect Han Xinyan to have such a relative in Beijing."

"I heard her parents are in Beijing, so it’s normal for her uncle to be here."

"That’s not right, she’s from East Province like me, how could her parents be from Beijing?"

"Impossible, she even has a house near the school, said to be prepared by her dad, how could she be from East Province."

"How could I lie to you, she took the exam from East Province."

Xinyan heard the discussion clearly and thought to herself: Busy with minding other people’s business.

Cui Haili looked at Xinyan: "Xinyan, if it weren’t for your uncle’s help this time, who knows when this problem would be resolved."

At this point, Jiang Peiqin chimed in: "You still need real relatives, otherwise, with our school’s National Day performance only a day apart from their unit’s, who would risk lending us the costumes."

The group of them chatted as they walked towards the teaching building.

Just as they were walking, Jiang Peiqin pulled the happily chatting Xinyan aside: "Look, who is that?"
