Chapter 441: Chapter 441: Next Door 9_1

"Your brother stayed here with you last night to... rest?" Tang Tang abruptly realized the implications of her words and quickly corrected herself. "Your brother stayed here to take care of you last night? Fair enough, you’re a young girl, it’s difficult for you to do many things with an injured hand, and it’s perfectly reasonable to feel scared staying in a room alone."

Seeing He Zhilan stay silent, Tang Tang assumed her previous comments had upset her, so she quickly changed the topic. "He Teng has now been promoted to commander, pass my congratulations onto him! I always knew your brother had a great future ahead of him!"

Even an oblivious person like He Zhilan could now see why Tang Tang had come. Could she be here because of her brother?

Pondering this, He Zhilan opened her mouth and tentatively replied, "Are you close with my brother?"

Tang Tang laughed, "Yes! I visit the troops every year for a comfort performance, so I’ve met Commander He a few times. We’ve become acquaintances. I’ve always known that he had a sister studying at Capital University, so I’ve been especially keen to meet you!"

He Zhilan couldn’t help but admire Tang Tang for her nonsense. If she really was familiar with He Teng, she couldn’t possibly be unaware that He Teng was already married. If she genuinely cared about He Teng, she wouldn’t be oblivious to the fact that his wife was studying at Capital University.

So, Tang Tang was attracted to Commander He Teng? She wanted to build a good relationship with Zhilan to get close to He Teng?

However, He Zhilan found it amusing. Was Tang Tang not using her brain? Even if she wanted to please her, shouldn’t she inquire about her preferences first?

In fact, all she needed to do was to casually ask around in the army, and she would definitely find out that Zhilan was He Teng’s wife.

He Zhilan remained silent, leaving Tang Tang feeling somewhat awkward. However, reminding herself of the objective of her visit, she forced a smile and engaged Zhilan in small talk before suddenly bringing up He Teng. "By the way, Zhilan, isn’t your brother getting on in age now? Does he have a significant other? Many soldiers take the opportunity of leave to go back home for blind dates, what about your brother?"

Considering her thoughts, He Zhilan thought that Tang Tang must already be interested in He Teng. Even if she didn’t tell Tang Tang to her face now that she was He Teng’s wife, Tang Tang would know as soon as she asked around in the army after leaving the room, so she simply replied directly in front of Tang Tang, "I’m his wife, didn’t you know?"

She asked in a slightly surprised tone, looking at the astounded expression which instantly appeared on Tang Tang’s face. It was clear that Tang Tang really did not know.

"I’m both my brother’s sister and wife. We got married after I graduated from my senior high. Otherwise, it would be inappropriate for my brother to spend the night in my room as we are grown-ups, even if we are siblings," He Zhilan said, with a hint of shy blush on her face.

Tang Tang finally came back to her senses, nodded slightly, and murmured, "So that’s the case." Then, she abruptly stood up, "I just remembered I have something to do. I’ll come to chat with you next time we meet." As she spoke, she quickly left, her immaculately made-up face showing clear signs of frustration.

Outside the room, Hen Cailuan nearly collided with Tang Tang. After letting the woman pass, she and Zhang Lian entered He Zhilan’s room. As they walked in, she asked, "That woman just now looks like an actress from the cultural troupe. Do you know her?"

"We just met," He Zhilan casually replied. Then, a thought struck her as she glanced at Zhang Lian, "Come in and have a seat. Would you like some
