Chapter 803: Chapter 803: The Introverted He Teng

He Zhilan was bending over, bustling about, while still managing to talk to He Teng. When she spoke, she quite naturally referred to He Teng’s dormitory as home, calling it "our home!"

He Teng grunted in response, indicating he had heard her. Seeing there was nothing much else, he walked away.

As she had planned to cook for herself in the dormitory that night, He Zhilan had also bought some groceries from the city. After He Teng took a short nap, he left the dormitory, and soon after, Chen Ya’nan and the political commissar’s wife came knocking.

"What are you busy with?" The political commissar’s wife greeted He Zhilan as she entered, "I heard from Ya’nan that you brought pots and pans with you today? Are you planning to move in and start cooking for yourself and He Teng from now on?"

"Not yet!" He Zhilan explained, "I’ve just bought these things for now. My brother hasn’t even agreed to remarry yet, how could he let me move in? But I was thinking, since I teach at a school close to the military base, I can stay at the base every weekend. It would be nice to be able to cook for myself on those two days!"

"That blockhead He Teng!" The political commissar’s wife shook her head in resignation, "The military is considering running a shuttle in the morning and evening to the city for military spouses. In the mornings to bring them to work in the city, and in the evenings to pick them up after work. With the new building up, more families are moving in, and this welfare will be quite good for us."

"Yeah! Eventually, I’ll be able to go home every day instead of staying at the school. If Sister Zhilan and Uncle He remarry, we could go to the school together every day and come back to the base together. Uncle He is really so foolish!" Chen Ya’nan was stomping her feet vehemently, fists raised in anger, "Sister Zhilan, you’ve been chasing after him for so many years, even a log would be warmed by now, right? Why is he still cold towards Sister Zhilan!"

"Child, what do you know?" The political commissar’s wife teased Chen Ya’nan and then asked He Zhilan if she needed any help. Seeing that He Zhilan didn’t, she took Chen Ya’nan and left.

He Zhilan spent the afternoon tidying the room. She looked around and felt that He Teng’s place lacked a sense of life, preferring a home like that of a professor, which felt especially warm upon entering.

Thinking about it, He Zhilan figured that next time, she definitely needs to bring back a couple of potted plants from the city for He Teng. Camellias, those dignified flowers, are difficult to care for, and He Zhilan certainly didn’t want them. Probably they would be thrown out by He Teng with a disgusted face.

Therefore, He Zhilan thought she should buy a couple of cacti and devil’s ivy to purify the air and be pleasing to the eye.

Over at the training ground, when Kang Xing and the others heard that He Zhilan was visiting again, they clamored to go up to He Teng’s dorm to chat with her. They felt that they hadn’t properly spoken to their former sister-in-law during her last visit, and this time, they wanted to strengthen their relationship with her.

As for He Teng, he kept a straight face and never agreed. As soon as the training was over, he, the deputy regimental commander, ran faster than a rabbit, leaving Kang Xing and the others unable to catch up. Thus, when He Teng returned to his dormitory, he was drenched in sweat.

Upon opening the door and entering, He Teng was taken aback. The room had been transformed; the furniture had been moved around, and miraculously, just by shifting things, the room seemed to have become more spacious.
