Chapter 701: Chapter 701: Return to the Capital 10_1

During dinner, Kang Xing gallantly volunteered to show Dongxue around the regiment camp that night. So, as soon as they finished dining, Dongxue, full of energy, went with Kang Xing. Niu Rang saw that He Zhilan and He Teng were together and quickly decided he didn’t want to be a third wheel.

"Do we just take a walk or head straight back to the guest house?" He Teng looked at Zhilan and asked, glancing downward.

"Let’s take a walk then. We’ll have nothing to do if we go back so early." Zhilan looked up at He Teng with a smile, "The night sky here in the camp is as beautiful as the one back home!"

"Hmm." Hoping for He Teng to follow along with a poetic or artistic comment would be wishful thinking; receiving a response from him was already a face-saving gesture.

Reflecting, when was the last time she had taken such aimless walks with He Teng?

Ever since their divorce, or rather ever since He Teng shut her out, there were very few instances of them being alone together.

The training ground of the camp was spacious. Above them was a starry night sky, beautiful as an ink painting, and underneath, a soft grass lawn. On an undisturbed night, all that could be heard were their footfalls.

"Sometimes, I suddenly feel like life is quite fulfilling." Zhilan suddenly sighed, then, without waiting for He Teng’s reaction, she reached out and pulled him in closer. "It would be even more fulfilling if you agreed to remarry me! By the way, isn’t Tang Tang stationed in this camp? How come I haven’t seen her? Is she constantly trying to get close to you lately?"

"I haven’t noticed. I don’t know," He Teng replied. He put up his hand and tried to push away Zhilan who was leaning onto his arm, but finding Zhilan’s hold firm, he gave up after a light attempt.

During this period, He Teng had completely understood Zhilan’s clingy nature. If he couldn’t push her away the first time, insisting would be a waste of energy. After all, if he exerted too much force and pushed her away, she would play the victim.

"How’s your injury?" He Teng asked, "Have you been letting Dongxue apply medicine for you every day since I left?"

"Yes! If you’re not at ease, why not go back to the guesthouse, and you examine it yourself?" As Zhilan spoke, she turned to head back to the guesthouse. With a pull from He Teng, she stopped in her tracks as he communicated his decline.

"Take better care of yourself in the future." He Teng sighed softly, advising, "Gu En has transferred to Normal University, so you won’t bump into her at Capital University anymore."

"I know. But I am a bit surprised, why would she suddenly transfer schools?" Zhilan asked, somewhat puzzled, "Did you and Lan Li have some conversation?"

"No, it was Lin Chan." He Teng answered, "There’s been a good amount of activity concerning Lin Chan while you were away. The Gu family found out, passed on their apologies through Lan Li, and had Gu En transferred."

Pausing for a moment, He Teng continued, "Gu En had been tarnishing your reputation at school for some time. Why didn’t you tell me?"

"What’s there to say? She can do what she wants. I did nothing wrong, and her words have no bearing on me. Lin Chan even said she could only take revenge for me during the summer break." Zhilan pouted, "Compared to trying to take my life, throwing a bit of mud on my name is childish. I have nothing to fear. Even if she accuses me of something, it’s useless if I haven’t done it. And besides, I have you with me now. Why should I care about such petty trifles? The fact that you believe that I’m not that kind of person is enough for me. After all, I’m not marrying anyone else. This life, I’m marrying only you."
