Chapter 968: Chapter 968: Her Unusual Behavior 4

He Dongxue is a person who takes everything she does very seriously. In school, studying medicine, she works hard and diligently, an honor student at the Military Medical University, receiving scholarships every year. Many places competed for her, and once she started her hospital internship, He Dongxue was even more meticulous in her work, eager to learn everything she could and studying it in great detail, allowing no room for error.

Therefore, He Dongxue’s busyness was not a lie spun by He Zhilan to deceive Kang Xing. And Kang Xing, being a soldier stationed far from the capital, couldn’t simply visit the capital to see He Dongxue at will.

In this regard, Kang Xing was at a disadvantage compared to Lin Chan.

Lin Chan was far less shameless than Kang Xing; whenever He Dongxue was unavailable, Lin Chan would seize every opportunity to be around her, like a fly that couldn’t be swatted away, blatantly making his presence known to He Dongxue.

Listening to He Zhilan, Kang Xing sighed softly, "I always wanted to work harder. Dongxue is so outstanding; I need to strive to be worthy of her. It seems, without even realizing it, that I and Dongxue might not be so suitable after all."

Kang Xing did like He Dongxue, but only He Zhilan, He Teng, and Niu Rang, who had already sacrificed himself, knew about it. However, he had never expressed his feelings to He Dongxue.

He Zhilan also didn’t know what to say to Kang Xing. Matters of affection are for two people to decide. No matter how much Kang Xing likes He Dongxue, if she does not share romantic feelings for him, it’s pointless.

Suitability has nothing to do with status, appearance, or social standing; it’s all about the heart.

With a willing heart and love, even the incompatible can become compatible.

Just like her and He Teng.

As long as there’s heart and love, even if it’s unsuitable at the start, both people will change accordingly for each other until they become a proper match.

"Sister-in-law, don’t comfort me anymore. I know it. It’s just me who likes her. If Dongxue liked me too, she would call me, she would visit me. Just like you and the deputy regimental commander. You were busy too, but you visited him every weekend," Kang Xing said, his eyes downcast as he sighed, "Forget it, sister-in-law. Let’s pretend I didn’t say anything."

With that, Kang Xing walked away alone.

He Zhilan stayed where she was, looking at Kang Xing’s somewhat lonely retreating figure, unsure how to comfort him.

After Niu Rang’s sacrifice, Kang Xing had changed a lot. He was no longer always laughing and carefree as before; Niu Rang’s sacrifice made Kang Xing grow up quickly, becoming more sensible and mature.

"What are you looking at?" He Teng saw He Zhilan standing alone, gazing into the distance at Kang Xing as he walked further and further away when he came to pick up his wife.

"Seeing Kang Xing like this, I don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing," He Zhilan shook her head. "I kind of miss the carefree Kang Xing from before."

He Teng glanced in the direction of Kang Xing, and after a few seconds, he looked away. He did not answer He Zhilan’s question but took her home.

"You..."

"Check..."

As soon as the two entered the door, they began to speak in perfect unison, glancing at each other, with He Zhilan smiling and He Teng curling the corner of his lips.

"The secret inquiry by the procuratorate into Gu En has been completed, and they have officially initiated prosecution. The trial will commence in five days at the capital’s people’s court," He Teng spoke before He Zhilan could, and after finishing, he asked, "What were you about to say?"
