Yan Shun obediently walked over, and with a curious glance, he saw a paper on the table featuring designs for men’s clothing. He asked in amazement, “Is this for me?”

“Yeah, but I wasn’t sure what you’d like, so I designed a few options. You can take your time choosing,” Lin Fan said, gesturing with a measuring tape around Yan Shun and quickly jotting down some measurements. She neatly folded the paper and put it away.

Yan Shun picked up a few of Lin Fan’s design sketches and examined them closely. He was truly surprised. In his memory, Lin Fan had no knowledge of such things. Could she have learned this later on?

But that was impossible! Yan Shun felt like he was indulging in wishful thinking. No one could learn a skill in just a day or two.

Suddenly, he became suspicious of Lin Fan.

“Have you always known how to do this?” he blurted out the question, but in an instant, he sensed that this might lead to unnecessary speculation. He hurriedly corrected himself, “Don’t think too much about it. I’m just… I’ve never seen you do these things before, so I was curious.”

Lin Fan immediately sensed his suspicion. She casually replied, “I used to have a neighbor who ran a tailor shop. I went there occasionally and got curious, so she taught me. But I got lazy afterward, you know.”

She gave Yan Shun an apologetic smile.

Although her explanation had a deceptive element, even if Yan Shun investigated, he would find out that the Original OOwner indeed had a neighbor who ran a tailor shop. The Original Owner had learned a bit, but it was just a small amount of knowledge. How could she design a complete outfit?

Coincidentally, in her past life, her company had started with clothing. From design sketches onwards, she supervised every step. If she hadn’t transmigrated, her company would undoubtedly have continued to flourish.

“So that’s the case.” Yan Shun nodded thoughtfully. His doubts were instantly dispelled, and he smiled, saying, “It’s okay. I don’t mind about clothes. Whatever you make, I’ll wear it.”

Lin Fan’s eyes lit up. Just with this sentence, she wanted to see Yan Shun try some of the more extravagant modern clothes. She believed Yan Shun’s physique could definitely pull them off. But would this be a bit of taking advantage of an honest person?

“What are you thinking?” Yan Shun noticed Lin Fan’s distraction, her face even sporting a silly smile. He asked in confusion.

Lin Fan snapped back to attention and waved her hand. “Ah, nothing. I’ll go cut the fabric!”

…

Meanwhile, at the other side, Zhao Xiu returned home and immediately went to Yu Yan, eager to tell him about what had happened during the day. “Old Yu, you don’t know, this time it was my negligence that caused Yuanyuan’s accident. I was so scared. Luckily, there was a kind person who helped give Yuanyuan first aid; otherwise, I wouldn’t have the face to come back and see you!”

“Don’t blame yourself too much; you just accidentally forgot the medicine. It’s not like you did it on purpose,” Yu Yan hurriedly comforted Zhao Xiu. “But the person you mentioned, she saved our son’s life. We should go and thank her.”

“I was just about to tell you. I had Xiao Ming inquire, and it turns out the person who saved Yuanyuan is a family member from one of the households in the Military District compound! Oh, my mind, I forgot to ask which family when Xiao Ming reported back.”

“It’s okay; tomorrow, I’ll ask Xiao Ming,” Yu Yan said. However, he could not help but think a bit more. Earlier in the day, Commander Lu had mentioned that Jiang Tao’s wife was a nurse. Could it be her who saved Yuanyuan?

Thinking this way, Jiang Tao indeed seemed more suitable for promotion than Yan Shun. But to avoid mistakes, Yan decided to confirm first. The next day, when he saw Fan Ming, he inquired about his son’s sudden asthma attack.

“General, I checked the records yesterday; it was recorded as Jiang Tao, Deputy Company Commander Jiang’s wife. But I pondered on this last night. With so many people coming and going into the Military District compound, what if the records are wrong? So, after my shift today, I plan to discreetly ask around. It’s better to confirm it privately!” Fan Ming did not rush to confirm that it was Zhou Liu.

Hearing this, Yu Yan was pleased. This cautious attitude mirrored his own thoughts. He praised him, “Good lad, I didn’t misjudge you. If you confirm it, let me know immediately!”

“Yes!”

Yu Yan added, “Oh, by the way, for the upcoming competition in the Military District, think of a suitable reward. My mind is nearly smoking from all the thinking. I thought you young people should have better brains for this kind of thing.”
