Journey 1995:Non-Stop

Chapter 257 Accompanying
Yan Hui bought five pairs of shoes in one go and then quickly left.

The sales staff exchanged bewildered glances, having never seen such wealthy people before.

When Yan Hui arrived at the school gate, there were already quite a few cars parked there, but most of them were motorcycles.

The Audi was somewhat conspicuous, and some people even recognized it as President Han's car, but because they didn't know Yan Hui, no one greeted him.

Yan Hui stood there for more than ten minutes before spotting Han Xiuwen.

"Brother Yan, is this you who came to pick me up?" Han Xiuwen looked around. "Where's Xiaoyue? She should have gotten out of school earlier than me. Didn't you pick her up?"

"She has someone else to pick her up," Yan Hui said, wanting Han Xiuwen to get in the car as soon as possible because of the heavy traffic, so he didn't mention Han Yue's illness.

"Oh, okay, my good brother is coming to my house today," Han Xiuwen said, pulling over a young man. "This is my best brother, Wang Haibo!"

"Okay, let's get in the car together." Yan Hui glanced at Wang Haibo and nodded inwardly, thinking, "He's a good kid."

"Brother Yan, your clothes look great today, they suit your style perfectly!" Han Xiuwen complimented him before getting into the car.

“I think so too. Perfect timing. I brought you a set. Let’s not bother with it in the car for now, we can talk about it when we get home.” Yan Hui got into the car and drove away.

Mr. Han's house isn't far from here; it's a villa in the city center, and parking is very convenient. Yan Hui parked the car and took out the clothes.

"Did my dad buy this for me?" Han Xiuwen asked excitedly.

"No, I bought clothes for you while I was buying clothes today." Yan Hui could only tell the truth.

"Huh? Brother Yan, my dad said I can't accept gifts from outsiders." Han Xiuwen was a little embarrassed.

“Your dad is right, but I just bought a piece of clothing on the side, it’s not worth much. Besides, your dad asked me to pick you up from school, do you think I’m an outsider?” Yan Hui laughed. “Don’t worry, you can talk to him about it later, he definitely won’t say anything.”

“Yeah, it’s just a piece of clothing,” Wang Haibo also thought it was no big deal.

"Then I'll tell my dad later." Han Xiuwen nodded.

The clothes fit him well, and the shoes were nice too. Han Xiuwen tried them on, chose a pair, and seemed very happy.

Wang Haibo looked on with envy, but he could only watch and couldn't say anything.

"Come over and try it out, see if there's anything suitable for you." Yan Hui waved to Wang Haibo.

"Huh? There's one for me too?" Wang Haibo was completely dumbfounded.

“Don’t worry about a pair of shoes,” Yan Hui measured Wang Haibo’s height and felt that his shoes were a size smaller than Han Xiuwen’s. “Here, try these on.”

"Huh?" Wang Haibo looked at Han Xiuwen.

"It's alright, it's alright, I'll cover it!" Han Xiuwen seemed even happier.

If he had hesitated before, he was now overjoyed to be able to show off like this in front of his best friend.

"This is too valuable." Wang Haibo's heart pounded.

Back in 2000, many people had never heard of Nike because it was a brand most people couldn't afford. But Han Xiuwen's junior high school was a relatively good one, and the students there certainly knew the brand and knew it was incredibly expensive.

"What's the big deal? Try it first. If your number isn't there, then you're just unlucky," Yan Hui offered another way out.

"Ah," Wang Haibo thought for a moment, "I'll try it out first to see if it suits me."
Yan Hui had four more pairs of shoes, so there must be some that fit. Wang Haibo put on the new shoes and was almost reluctant to wear them, looking somewhat dazed. After packing up the remaining shoes, Yan Hui locked the car door, took the two boys home, and prepared to say goodbye.

There was also a nanny at home. When Han Xiuwen saw the nanny, he asked about Han Yue's situation.

“Your sister caught a cold and went to the city's central hospital. Your mother and the driver went with her. Your mother said that your sister might have the flu and doesn't want you to go,” the nanny said.

"Oh? She has a cold? I need to go see her!" Han Xiuwen said anxiously.

“If you catch a cold too, the family will be overwhelmed. Your mother and the driver are here, so don’t worry about it,” the nanny advised. “Your friend is here too, isn’t he? What would you like to eat? I’ll make it for you.”

"But..." Han Xiuwen was still a little anxious.

“Xiuwen,” Yan Hui interjected, “how about this, I’ll go check on your sister for you, so you don’t need to go.”

"Brother Yan, after you go, please call my family. I'll be waiting for your call." Han Xiuwen finally agreed.

"Okay, give me your home phone number."

Yan Hui wrote down the phone number and then drove away. He first went to the mall and returned the three pairs of shoes.

The salesperson initially thought Yan Hui would return four pairs of shoes, but to their surprise, he only returned three pairs. They were delighted and personally escorted Yan Hui to his car.

After leaving, Yan Hui checked the time, found a restaurant, cooked a few dishes, packed them into four boxed meals, and then headed straight to the hospital.

Yan Hui from the Municipal Central Hospital certainly knew, but he didn't know exactly where the child was. He had to ask around and finally found Han Yue after more than ten minutes.

Han Yue was receiving an IV drip when Yan Hui recognized her immediately and quickly went over to her.

Yan Hui had met President Han's driver two or three times. After a brief introduction, Han Yue's mother recognized Yan Hui.

"I came from Mr. Han's place today. He said he has a dinner party tonight and needs his driver to go, so I was worried that no one would take care of things here, so I thought I'd come and help out." Yan Hui took out the boxed lunch. "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Would you like to eat something first?"

"Xiao Yan, you're so thoughtful. Old Han told me about you." Han's wife looked tired and worried about Han Yue.

"Has her fever gone down? Should she eat something first? These dishes are freshly cooked and still warm." Yan Hui glanced at his watch. "It's almost six o'clock."

"Okay, let's eat something."

The group ate boxed lunches together, and during the meal, Mr. Han made a phone call.

Hearing that Yan Hui was here, President Han was somewhat surprised. He spoke with Yan Hui and asked him to leave the car there to stay with Han Yue and the others. President Han also expressed his gratitude.

Shortly after dinner, the driver left in a taxi. Yan Hui stayed behind, running errands until after 9 p.m. He told Han Xiuwen that Han Yue was alright and should get some rest. He also called his brother-in-law, asking him to check on the warehouse.

Han Yue was not in good condition and had received two IV drips. The doctor said she could be taken home, but Han Yue's mother was worried and wanted to have her hospitalized. The doctor agreed because Han Yue was too young.

"Sister-in-law, do you want to rest for a while? I'll stay with Han Yue. Isn't Han Yue asleep now?" Yan Hui asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's only a little past nine. Why don't you take a nap?"

"Then you keep an eye on things for a while, I'm going out to buy something."

Hospital beds were scarce, so Yan Hui went out and bought a folding bed and blankets at the hospital supermarket. He slept for a while, waking up around midnight. Then he let Han Yue's mother rest, while he stayed up all night watching over the place.
