"Jinshi~" He Zhilan reached out and held the wine glass in Ding Jinshi’s hand, "Eat something first before you drink, at least line your stomach."
"Let me have a good drink, once I’m married, I won’t have the chance to drink anymore. After the engagement, Ding Long never let me touch cigarettes and alcohol again. He said after we are married we should have children, so he asked me to quit drinking and smoking, and he also quit drinking and smoking. Sometimes, watching him like that, I feel tired for him, insisting on marrying a woman who doesn’t love him at all. Does he find it fun?" Ding Jinshi curved the corner of her mouth, tears in her eyes, revealing an incredibly ugly smile, "I vent all my anger on him, constantly pouring cold water on him, yet he seems to enjoy it! I’m silly, so is Ding Long! Actually, thinking about it, we are quite a match. Both are silly and infatuated people."
He Zhilan only knew some of the things between Ding Jinshi and Lan Li, she also heard from Zhou Hongjin and Lin Chan that Ding Long likes Ding Jinshi, but she didn’t know that Ding Long had liked Ding Jinshi for ten years.
Even so, He Zhilan still didn’t like Ding Long much, but she couldn’t deny that a man who could remain in love with a woman for ten years without changing is truly infatuated.
No wonder Zhou Hongjin would say that Ding Long is both sentimental and infatuated.
Ding Jinshi was going to get married the next day, so there were many people looking for her. She didn’t stay with He Zhilan for an hour before she sent He Zhilan back to school and left alone in her car. When she left, the smell of cigarettes on her body was stronger than the smell of alcohol.
On the 10th, it happened to be the weekend. Gu En got herself all dolled up early in the morning, with seven-inch high heels, a light pink dress, a white handbag, and left happily with her head held high. To outsiders, it seemed as if it was her, Gu En’s, big wedding day.
He Zhilan went to find He Teng at the military school, because thinking of Ding Jinshi’s appearance last night and the fact that she was getting married today, He Zhilan felt a little uncomfortable.
"What’s wrong, Zhilan?" Feng Zheng glanced over and lightly patted He Teng’s shoulder, "Did you and your wife have a fight? Why does your wife look so unhappy?"
Feng Zheng wanted to ask a few more questions and take the opportunity to teach He Teng how to please a girl, but when he met He Teng’s expressionless face, he knew better and quietly left.
It was unbearably cold outside, and ever since the snowfall, He Zhilan refused to go for a walk with He Teng for fear of the cold and the possibility of him slipping and falling. So, after the snowfall, He Zhilan always stayed in He Teng’s dorm, only taking the shortcut to the library when necessary.
"Did Gu En bully you again?" He Teng asked, looking at He Zhilan who was sitting on his bed with her head held low. He Zhilan had just arrived, and there was still a layer of white snow on her forehead. He Teng went over to her, brushed the snow off her head, and then poured her a cup of hot water to hold even if she didn’t want to drink.
Whenever He Zhilan was upset, the first person He Teng thought of was Gu En, worried that Lan Li’s long absences due to military duty would cause Gu En to become unruly again.
"No." He Zhilan shook her head, "Lately, the most she does is throw a few sarcastic comments at me, she doesn’t dare do anything else. But, I don’t let her have the upper hand in verbal exchanges! Humph!"
