Chapter 134: 134 Mild Drunkenness Enhances the Mood 9_1

This kiss, initially as delicate as a dragonfly touching the surface of water, slowly gave way to a growing urgency. Nobody knew who was bewitched first by this love affair. The October wind teased gently, and the peaceful moonlight filled the room. The rich sentiments of this night, here, showed no sign of receding.

After a night of passion, He Zhilan slept until over ten in the morning. By the time she woke up, He Teng was already gone, his side of the bed cold. Without thinking, she knew that He Teng must have gotten up early for training.

Next to the bed was a plain steamed bun and a cup of soy milk left by He Teng. There was also a note telling He Zhilan to eat something while she waited, and that he would come back in the afternoon to bring her to the canteen for lunch.

The military canteen only served food during mealtimes, so He Teng must have brought her the breakfast specifically. By now, however, it was cold, and there was no kitchenware to reheat the food in the hostel. Fortunately, the weather wasn’t cold, so eating a cold bun and soy milk was manageable.

Alone and without He Teng, He Zhilan felt bored. After getting out of bed, she tidied up the room and washed her clothes from the previous day. It wasn’t until then that she picked a book she had brought along, flipping through the pages to pass the time.

"He Auntie, are you there?" He Zhilan had barely started reading when she heard Chen Ya’nan’s voice from outside the door.

"I’m here!" He Zhilan called back, immediately getting up to open the door. Standing there was Chen Ya’nan, hand in hand with a little boy.

"He Auntie~" The boy was one of the two children she had seen at the political commissar’s house the night before. Recognizing He Zhilan, the boy sweetly called out to her.

"Ah! Come in!" He Zhilan beamed, bending down to pick up the small boy. She puckered her lips to give him a peck, to which the boy did not resist. Instead, he puckered up his lips and kissed He Zhilan back, then laughed brightly - utterly adorable.

Chen Ya’nan led the older boy in, "He Auntie, it must be boring for you here alone since Uncle He isn’t here, right? I brought the boys here to keep you company, and also, for you to help me with my homework." Talking about the homework, Chen Ya’nan frowned, "My dad warned me last night that if I don’t study hard and get into the military academy, I can forget about ever becoming his superior! How ridiculous!"

"Is that so?" He Zhilan wasn’t aware of this.

"Yes, if my educational attainment isn’t high enough, I won’t be able to get promoted. My dad says that military academy graduates are immediately granted military rank when they graduate!" Chen Ya’nan proclaimed, "I’ve decided. No matter what, I’ll get into a military academy in the capital. Then my dad will have to see what I’m capable of! It will be so cool to be my dad’s superior!"

At this point, He Zhilan broke into a laugh. So, if you don’t have enough education, you can’t get promoted – no wonder after twelve years of service, He Teng was still a squad leader, neither promoted nor discharged.

Since Chen Ya’nan had brought homework, He Zhilan quickly rearranged a small wooden table in the room. She then invited the two boys to sit on the bed, "Your aunt will teach Ya’nan sister’s homework. You two can sit on the bed and eat snacks, okay? Auntie has a lot of delicious food!"

He Zhilan had just re-gifted the snacks that Lin Chan had prepared for her.

The two little boys, upon hearing about the tasty treats, thankfully chirped, "Thank you, He Auntie," and with shimmering eyes, watched He Zhilan bring out the snacks.

He Zhilan wasn’t sure what kind of snacks the kids preferred, so she simply brought over the entire bag for them to pick out their favorites. She also encouraged Chen Ya’nan to help herself and not to be shy.
