Chapter 641: Chapter 641: Eve of Summer Vacation 5_1

Ever since she began venturing to the military base every weekend, rain or shine, all by herself, He Teng eventually stopped resisting. He probably realized that even if he didn’t agree, he couldn’t stop her from going to the base. So, later on, He Teng would willingly show up at the train station to pick up He Zhilan, no longer leaving her to pitifully walk all the way to the base on her own legs.

"Bro! I bought grapes for you, Kang Xing, and Ya’nan! I bought them in the capital! They were so heavy! Ten kilos! Your base has lots of people, so no need to worry about not having enough to share!" He Zhilan said, stuffing the grapes into He Teng’s arms like a beckoning child, "I’ve tasted them, so sweet!"

"Couldn’t you get them here? Why did you carry them all the way from the capital?" He Teng pointed to a nearby vendor pushing a three-wheeled cart and looked at He Zhilan. Seeing her make a silly face at him without responding, he prompted her to get in the car.

Once they drove away from the train station, He Zhilan fastened her seatbelt, turned her head, and said while looking at He Teng, "Bro, my final exams are in ten days. After that, it’s summer vacation!"

"Go home. Dad hasn’t seen you for a year." He Teng responded immediately, without giving it a second thought.

"I was planning on going home anyway, I miss dad and the others too!" He Zhilan pouted her lips. When she said it herself, it had a different meaning than when He Teng said it - as if she was being reluctantly sent home. But in reality, she was also thinking about the He family.

He Teng glanced at He Zhilan and, seeing no resentment on her face, he knew that she wasn’t just saying this because he coerced her into changing her mind.

"I haven’t seen dad in a year, he must be missing me a lot! My boss from my winter job wanted me to work for him during the summer, too, but I didn’t accept!" He Zhilan giggled, "Bro, I’ve been behaving, right?"

He Teng responded to He Zhilan’s question with silence, but he had to admit that, besides not obeying him and staying in the capital instead of visiting him at the base, He Zhilan kept a low profile and caused no trouble over the past six months.

"But bro, there’s something I want to discuss with you." He Zhilan touched her nose, looking a bit embarrassed. She had been praising herself just a moment ago, and now, she seemed to be changing her tune.

"Speak." He Teng just uttered one word, his attention seemingly concentrated on the road while he drove seriously.

But He Zhilan knew that He Teng was skilled at multitasking, so she began to talk about what the professor said to her, phrasing it as a request for advice from He Teng. She didn’t tell He Teng whether she wanted to go or not, only after she finished addressing the situation, did she ask him, "Bro, what do you think? Should I take the opportunity that the professor has offered? She’s been really kind to me this whole year, she said her friend is trustworthy, so she must be."

He Teng didn’t immediately respond, but from his expression, it was evident that he was considering her question.

After a while, he finally answered, "If it’s just for the money, you don’t need to work so hard. My salary and subsidy have increased a lot compared to before. I’ll figure out a solution for your tuition and Dongxue’s. If it’s not for the money, then, it’s up to you. This is your decision to make, you don’t need to ask me. But, I think that dad would probably worry since you’re going to C province by yourself, without any familiar faces accompanying you. It’s a completely unfamiliar place, far from home."
