Chapter 589: Chapter 589 Don’t Come Again 10_1

"Having no idea is the right answer!" Satisfied with He Teng’s response, He Zhilan nodded and leaned towards him. She grabbed He Teng’s hand and placed it under her face, closing her eyes as she rested her face on it.

He Teng didn’t anticipate He Zhilan’s sudden movement. His palm now cradled He Zhilan’s warm face. Her skin was soft and delicate — it was as smooth as beautiful jade, tempting him to stroke it briefly with his fingers.

But he only touched her once.

"Alright, sleep your sleep, stop messing around!" He Teng sighed, withdrawing his hand and gently patting He Zhilan’s head. He didn’t pull back immediately but continued to lightly touch her soft hair.

"I’ll sleep now, but you aren’t allowed to leave before I fall asleep! If I wake up and you’re not there, I will go to your dorm to look for you!" He Zhilan warned with wide eyes. Upon hearing He Teng’s agreement, she finally closed her eyes in relief.

Ever since He Zhilan could remember, she had always been independent. When she arrived at the He Family, she never relied on anyone. The change of environment transformed her from being someone else’s tail to becoming an independent girl. From the first day she entered the He Family’s house, she had been sleeping in her own room alone.

At this moment, the gentle stroke from He Teng’s broad palm on her head felt like a mother’s tender hand — it brought a warm feeling and stirred a sudden urge to cry inside her.

What the Gu Family had denied her, the He Family was giving her bit by bit.

With He Teng’s company, He Zhilan didn’t realize when she fell asleep. He Teng, who had been by her side, could tell from her breathing whether she was genuinely sleeping or just pretend sleeping.

After falling asleep, He Zhilan’s furrowed eyebrows and her slightly pouting mouth, as if she was sulking, were heart-melting sights.

"Zhilan." He Teng tentatively whispered. Seeing no response from the person on the bed, he stilled his touch. But his hand didn’t pull away — instead, it gently caressed her forehead. "What unhappy thoughts are you having in your sleep? At such a young age, where do all these worries come from?"

He muttered to himself, not expecting an answer from the sleeping He Zhilan. His sigh hinted at his helplessness and confusion, as if no one could answer his questions.

The secrets He Zhilan kept were more than he could ever imagine.

In fact, He Teng would rather He Zhilan always stay obedient and well-behaved, like she was during the New Year. Even if it required him to care for her like a father would a daughter, it’s better than watching her suddenly mature into a girl full of worries.

It was only until 10 o’clock that He Teng left the guesthouse, after finding that He Zhilan had no intention of waking up. He turned off her room lights before locking the guesthouse’s door.

In the dorm, Kang Xing had waited for He Teng for the entire night. Hearing movement at the door, he immediately jumped up from bed. But recalling what had happened the previous night, he learned his lesson and waited in his spot for He Teng’s return.

"Captain, has Zhilan gone to rest?" Kang Xing asked.

He Teng grunted in response, glanced at Kang Xing, and walked in, starting to change into his
