Chapter 117: Chapter 117 Military Training Reunion 8_1

Of course, what He Zhilan worried about the most was how her aunt and others would react if she didn’t go home for her first winter break. Would they overthink it, or assume that now that she was in the capital, her heart had flown away and couldn’t be brought back.

"Don’t be scared about staying all alone in the capital during the winter break, you know. We’ll all be there. If anything comes up, we, all your brothers, will be at your service anytime!" Lin Chan reassured He Zhilan with a pat on his chest.

"Let’s talk about the winter break when it comes. Right now, I can’t be sure if I’ll be staying in the capital for the winter break. After all, I’ve just started university, and if I don’t go home, I’m afraid my family will worry." He Zhilan explained before diving back into her meal.

Lin Chan understood. After all, girls aren’t boys, and it’s natural to worry with her family being so far away.

After lunch, everyone dispersed. As it happened, Xing Ye’s path took him past Capital University, so naturally, it was on Xing Ye to drop He Zhilan off. Bian Xiulin went back to the hospital with Bian Muhe.

In the car, He Zhilan sat in the passenger seat. She didn’t deliberately look around, but she noticed several feminine items in the car - little dolls, a tube of lipstick, and various other trinkets. Without needing to think, she knew they were Bian Xiulin’s.

Xing Ye was actually quite like He Teng in some ways - reserved, speaking even fewer words than He Zhilan throughout lunch. Apart from answering when spoken to or conversing with Bian Xiulin, he would largely spend his time in silence.

However, He Zhilan thought, He Teng was far more silent when speaking to her compared to Xing Ye.

The ride was quiet, with neither person speaking. He Zhilan had only met and dined with Xing Ye twice - they were hardly familiar. Trying to force a conversation would have just been awkward. It wasn’t until the car stopped outside the university that He Zhilan asked Xing Ye to pull over without driving in.

Undoing her seatbelt, He Zhilan prepared to get out of the car after murmuring a word of thanks. At this point, Xing Ye suddenly spoke, "Lin Chan might seem inconstant, but he would go above and beyond for the people he cares for. You can reach out to him, or me, anytime you need help in the capital."

Pausing for a moment, Xing Ye added, "Given the amount of time He Teng spends in the army, he should get brief holiday over the New Year. He never took leave in the past due to the distance from home, always letting others take his turns. The short leave is about three days. If you stay in the capital for the winter break, you could spend the New Year with him at the army. Then, when he’s off duty, you can spend more time together. The restaurant owned by Lin Chan’s friend is genuinely pretty good. I know a bit about He Teng’s situation at home. That job should be a source of decent income for you."

He Zhilan paused before nodding. "I understand, thank you."

He Zhilan realized what Xing Ye was implying - that He Teng had been spending New Year’s alone in the army for years. As his wife, she could stay and spend the holiday with him. He was also suggesting taking part-time job at the restaurant could be an extra source of income, easing He Teng’s burden a bit.

No matter how it was put, He Zhilan was truly thankful for Xing Ye.

Xing Ye smiled at He Zhilan. "He Teng might be the silent type in the army, but he’s a good man. Marrying him is the right choice."

Upon hearing this, He Zhilan burst into laughter. Was he trying to reassure her, worried she’d grow tired or regret her compassion towards He Teng?
