Chapter 439: Chapter 439: Next Door 7_1

Well, that term doesn’t fit He Teng, it would be better to say, He Zhilan was oblivious while in her sleep to him washing her. Even if she felt embarrassed the next day, it was only for a moment.

He Teng brought He Zhilan breakfast of soy milk and steamed buns. On her way back last National Day, he overheard a conversation she had with a young soldier where she mentioned that she really liked the army’s soy milk. So, he intentionally got extra for her today.

After setting the breakfast on the table, He Teng urged He Zhilan to join him in the bathroom to wash up. He filled water, squeezed toothpaste onto the toothbrush before handing it to He Zhilan, then stood by continuing to pour water for her to wash her face. After He Zhilan slowly finished brushing her teeth, he quickly and neatly washed her face.

"Do you have any face lotion? The wind in the army is harsh, your delicate skin, after washing if you don’t apply some, stepping outside the wind could chafe it." He Teng asked as he placed the towel on the rack.

"I brought it, a facial cream. It’s in that small bag where I put my toiletries yesterday!" He Zhilan nodded, then followed He Teng out, watching him bend down to fetch the small bottle, she sat on the bed waiting, then said, "It’s newly bought, I originally planned to buy it for you, but surprisingly, I ended up using it first."

"What would I, a big man, need this for?" He Teng scoffed, opened the lid, dabbed his finger with the white cream and dotted it onto He Zhilan’s nose tip, forehead, chin and cheeks. Then, sealed the lid, his big palm directly pressed on He Zhilan’s small face rubbing the cream evenly, "I have thick skin, I don’t need this, you can take it back when you return, if it’s left here it will just expire."

After He Teng applied the face cream for He Zhilan, his palm was also imbued with the faint scent. He Zhilan sniffed his hand and chuckled, "Bro’s hand smells good!" After he glanced at her without expression, she quickly changed the topic, asking, "Bro, your foot injury has almost healed, right? You walk without any abnormalities! Did it heal so quickly? Did you sneak in some training while I wasn’t around?"

"My recovery ability has always been good, I healed a long time ago." Of course, He Teng certainly wouldn’t tell He Zhilan that he always gritted his teeth and exercised alone. Over these past several days, he could feel himself recovering little by little.

"Go eat." Seeing He Zhilan still seated there blankly, He Teng pointed at the steaming breakfast nearby.

Only then did He Zhilan, squinting her eyes in joy, hopped onto the chair. She held the mug filled with soy milk in one hand, but when she tried to grab the meat bun with the other, she realized that she couldn’t. Even holding the mug was difficult with the bandaged half of her fingers.

"Bro!" He Zhilan called He Teng, who was tidying up, then put the mug back down, pointed at the mug, and held the meat bun with both hands.

He Teng instantly understood what she meant, "Getting too used to being pampered? Can’t you sip the soy milk first, put down the mug and then eat the bun?"

Despite his words, he still went over to hold the mug for He Zhilan, seeing her satisfactory and delighted face as she took a sip of soy milk, then a bite of the bun, any impatience he had disappeared.

She was so content and happy eating this breakfast, which he could have every morning. She really was like an innocent three-year-old.

When He Zhilan had finished eating after taking small bites, He Teng felt warm and was about to take his coat off to rinse the mug in the bathroom, only then He Zhilan noticed, He Teng was already wearing the sweater she had knitted for him.
