Chapter 831: Chapter 831 Awakening of the Wooden 4

He Teng glanced at He Zhilan, but before he could say more, she took her keys, opened the door, and entered her own room. Only after stepping in did Zhilan glance back at He Teng who had followed her inside, and then she busied herself by taking her clothes and heading to the bathroom for a shower.

When Zhilan emerged from the bathroom, she was surprised to find her belongings had mysteriously vanished.

"I moved your things to my room." He Teng spoke somewhat awkwardly, glancing at Zhilan before quickly looking away. He draped his coat over her shoulders, pulled her out of the room, took the key to Zhilan’s room, and did not let go of her hand until they were back in his room.

Sure enough, the moment Zhilan looked, she saw all her belongings had instantly ’teleported’ to He Teng’s place.

What a sly move!

He wanted her to live with him but wouldn’t say it outright, opting instead to express his intent through the act of moving her belongings!

Zhilan decided to play dumb and asked, "Brother, why did you move my things here? Give me my key; I’m really tired and need to rest. I’ve got to sort out my stuff; I’m going back tomorrow morning!"

"I’ve already sorted everything out for you," He Teng pointed at Zhilan’s luggage and said, "If you’re tired, go sleep in bed. I won’t disturb you."

"Then give me my key!" Zhilan extended her hand and shook it in front of He Teng. "If you don’t give me the key, should I climb out the window to get back? It’s the sixth floor, brother. I’m not like you; if I really climb, I’ll fall to my death!"

"It’s gotten cold. You should just sleep here, and at night if you kick off your covers, I can keep an eye on you!" He paused for a moment before adding, "Otherwise, if you get sick, dad would blame me for not taking good care of you again!"

With that, He Teng pocketed Zhilan’s key, pushed her onto the bed, and after hurrying her a couple times, he only lay down next to her after seeing that Zhilan was indeed lying down properly.

"You’re not sleeping?" Seeing that Zhilan was still looking at him with her eyes wide open, He Teng asked.

"Yes, I am!" Zhilan nodded and then cuddled up to him with a beaming smile, "It’s the most comfortable to sleep holding you when it’s cold, like hugging a warm furnace."

"Feel free to hug me whenever you want," He Teng said with a generous air, accompanied by his expression. When Zhilan didn’t respond, he continued, "Zhilan, stop making trouble with me. Let’s remarry when we go back."

"No~" Zhilan softly uttered a single word.

"Zhilan, I know you’re upset with me for being cold to you all these years." He Teng grew agitated by Zhilan’s simple ’no’. He raised his hand, massaging his brow, "I don’t even know if I’ve genuinely reached the point of loving you as you’ve hoped. But these years, you’ve always been around me. I’ve been trying to let you go, yet I find myself unable to do so."

He Teng’s outburst of words surprised Zhilan. Her heart gradually calmed down, and she lifted her gaze to look earnestly at him.

"In fact, over the years, I’ve been telling myself not to bother with you, not to care about you, and I’ve even told myself that you’d eventually belong to someone else. But when I heard you were about to marry another, I didn’t understand why I was still so angry, so unable to let go. Last night, I acted on impulse, but I don’t regret it. Zhilan, it’s been over three years and we’ve never been apart. I’ve given you more than three years to make your own choice, but you still linger around me, so I thought, may as well give up trying to let go since I can’t do it. I won’t let you go to someone else. Like it or not, you’re stuck with me, He Teng, and I won’t give you a chance to regret it. If I’m doing well, you’ll also do well, and even if I’m not, I’ll make sure to protect you."
