Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 273: Could Something Have Happened?

When he arrived outside Xinyan’s small courtyard, he saw that the gate was still locked.

He couldn’t help but frown.

The roof above Xinyan’s gate was covered with tiles, and He Jinxuan took a cloth bag out from under his raincoat and hung it above the gate, ensuring it wouldn’t get wet in the rain.

After handling that, he turned and walked toward the entrance of the residential compound. Noticing no sign of a vehicle outside, he turned to the guardhouse: "Master Zhang, hasn’t the car picking up the students co back yet?"

Master Zhang stood up: "Director He, it’s not back yet. By this ti, it should be back already. Could sothing have happened?"

Just as they finished speaking, He Jinxuan noticed soone approaching from the rain in the distance. He quickly moved to greet them.

As he got a better look: "Xiao Sun, why are you walking back? Where are the car and the people?"

Xiao Sun, seeing that it was Director He from the security departnt, wanted to quicken his pace, but reality didn’t allow it, so he shouted out: "Director He, the car picking up the students got stuck in the mud. The more we tried to accelerate, the deeper it got, and now it can’t move."

He Jinxuan grew anxious: "What about the people? Are they okay?"

Xiao Sun waved his hand: "The people are fine. I didn’t let them get off. The water on the road is really deep. I ca back to find the leaders to see if they can send another car to pick them up first."

Soon, he borrowed the phone from the guardhouse of the residential compound and called the plant leaders.

Upon hearing that the students were stranded, Director Gao quickly called the transport team to explain the situation and get them to send a car to pick up the students as soon as possible.

In no ti, the transport team dispatched two vehicles, including the other car that had previously picked up students. Luckily, because it was raining, its tarp hadn’t been removed yet. The other vehicle was ant to pull the car stuck in the mud. He Jinxuan, concerned, got into one of the cars as well.

As they neared the location, He Jinxuan instructed them to turn around at the T-junction ahead, allowing the covered car to approach in reverse to avoid getting stuck in the mud again as they neared, considering the fields on both sides.

He Jinxuan and Xiao Sun from earlier got off the car and waded through the water toward the vehicle stuck in the mud.

As they approached, Xiao Sun shouted: "The factory has sent another vehicle to pick you all up, transfer to the car in front. Be careful not to slip when getting off, and stay safe."

Including the lead teacher, there were only about a dozen people on the bus.

Hearing that a vehicle had co to pick them up, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. These past few days had been truly challenging; after barely finishing their exams, they encountered this situation.

The lead teacher got off the car first and stayed with He Jinxuan and Xiao Sun beneath it, ensuring the safety of each student as they disembarked.

Everyone was shivering from the cold, and there was no distinction between girls and boys; they just started getting off in order, with Xinyan, having boarded first, being the last.

He Jinxuan kept his eyes on those coming off the car, only relaxing his brow once he saw Xinyan.

Reaching out to protect her: "Is there anyone left on the car?"

Xinyan shook her head: "No more."

He Jinxuan addressed the lead teacher and Xiao Sun, the driver: "You go ahead and lead the students; keep them safe."

In such heavy rain, no one found this unusual. The lead teacher and Xiao Sun nodded and turned to catch up with the students ahead.

Xinyan was about to step into the water when she heard He Jinxuan say: "The water’s too deep. Once it seeps into your rain boots, it will be tough to walk. I’ll carry you."

Xinyan felt embarrassed, but He Jinxuan didn’t give her a chance to refuse: "The water’s too cold. Getting wet is bad for girls."

Xinyan’s face suddenly flushed with embarrassnt, as her period indeed was within these few days.

He Jinxuan wasn’t feeling much better. He hadn’t ant to ntion it, but during his patrol at the warehouse today, he accidentally overheard a conversation between Aunt Luo from the warehouse and a young girl who had just joined the factory, which reminded him of certain things.

Steeling her nerves, Xinyan climbed onto He Jinxuan’s back. After all, it was better than catching a cold and getting stomach cramps, a feeling she never wanted to experience again in her life.

She also couldn’t help but blush, rembering the incident from before.
