Chapter 629: Chapter 629 Infamy12_1

At this, Chen Ya’nan turned to He Teng, "At least my homeroom teacher would never leave a woman outside the door like this! That’s tasteless!"

Everyone now understood. It was clear that Chen Ya’nan had come to defend He Zhilan. She felt He Teng had been too harsh on He Zhilan, so she set up a new partner for He Zhilan, one she was very happy about.

Meanwhile, Kang Xing was by the side, a little stunned. Then he muttered, "Actually, I think I’m pretty good too. Why doesn’t anyone think about me?"

"Pfft~"

Except for He Teng, everyone else burst into laughter at his words.

"You’re definitely out!" said Niu Rang, taking a shot at Kang Xing.

"Exactly!" chimed in Chen Ya’nan, "Kang Xing, you’re only fit to be Sister Zhilan’s little brother!"

"Call me Brother Kang Xing! Show some respect! I’ll smack you!" Kang Xing waved his fist at Chen Ya’nan.

"I’d like to see you try~" Chen Ya’nan made a face, provokingly sticking out her tongue.

As Chen Ya’nan and Kang Xing were arguing, He Zhilan had been paying attention to He Teng’s expression. She was certain it wasn’t just a trick of the eye. When Chen Ya’nan mentioned introducing her to her homeroom teacher, there was a slight tremor in He Teng’s expression, his eyes grew darker. Although he didn’t express his feelings and acted indifferent, it didn’t mean his heart remained unmoved.

After dinner, Chen Ya’nan went home to grab her homework and course-material books, and Niu Rang forcefully dragged Kang Xing away, leaving He Teng and He Zhilan alone.

Both of them returned to the guesthouse, He Teng walking with his hands behind his back. He didn’t say a word, and kept looking down, as if he was searching for something on the ground.

"Brother, Chen Ya’nan said she wants to introduce me to a new guy. What do you think?" He Zhilan broke their silence, speaking first.

Under the moonlight, she had a light smile on her face, her autumn-like eyes shimmering. She gently tugged at his sleeve and nudged her mouth, calling him again.

At this moment, He Teng looked up at her, meeting her smiling eyes. He uncomfortable scratched his nose, and responded, "I haven’t met the guy. How would I know?"

Thereafter, He Teng made no further comments. All the way, he walked in silence, carrying He Zhilan back to the guesthouse without uttering a word.

He Zhilan entered first. Seeing He Teng still standing at the door, she turned around and pulled him inside, "Are you standing at the door waiting for me to invite you in? What harm can a brother do by going into his sister’s room? Even if we’re alone, we’re not doing anything inappropriate, what’s there to be scared of?"

"Mind your words!" He Teng admonished He Zhilan seriously. But now that he was already pulled inside by He Zhilan, it would be redundant to deliberately go out.

Offhandedly, He Teng looked around the room carefully. Then he bent down to lift the hot water pot from the floor, shook it a bit, opened the lid and felt inside the kettle with his palm. He looked up and asked, "Didn’t fresh hot water get added in the afternoon?"

He Zhilan shook her head, "No need in the afternoon."

"That’s just like Kang Xing, not taking care of people properly." He Teng remarked disdainfully. He originally thought that he was not very caring, but compared to Kang Xing, He Teng thought he was much, much better.
