42: Chapter 42 He Teng’s Comrade 2_1 42: Chapter 42 He Teng’s Comrade 2_1 He Zhilan followed He Teng’s gaze and looked over.
A black Audi was parked across the street, the car itself was ordinary, but what was eye-catching was the car’s license plate.
He Zhilan knew at a glance that it was a military license plate.
The owner of this car must belong to the military.
Suddenly, He Zhilan froze, watching a girl in a pink dress with a handbag looking somewhat unhappy, getting out of the car.
Following her were two men, one in standard army uniform and the other in a sweatshirt and casual pants that clearly only an affluent person would wear.
However, the latter seemed younger than the man in the army uniform.
After all, a soldier is a soldier; the man in the military uniform probably felt someone’s eyes on him.
Hence he looked towards He Zhilan and He Teng.
He Zhilan clearly saw his facial expression change.
First, there was some annoyance, then surprise and finally, he strode toward them.
“He Teng.” Lan Li felt someone looking at him from the moment he got out of the car, which annoyed him a bit.
He even felt somewhat resentful.
His heart filled with righteous indignation when he looked for the source of the gaze.
But this was partly steered by his annoyance with his cousin, Gu En, who had carelessly wasted his time.
However, when he realized who the man and woman standing across were, his anger dissipated instantly, leaving only the joy of meeting an old comrade.
Lan Li and He Teng were from the same troop.
Although not in the same battalion, they had known each other for quite some years now.
Lan Li was surprised to see He Teng at Capital University.
“I thought I was seeing things.” A hint of a smile finally broke on He Teng’s face.
It wasn’t very apparent, but it was indeed there.
“Don’t get me started.
I’ve got only a few days off and I have to spend them dealing with my cousin.
Her parents are busy and couldn’t come to drop her off at college, so they roped me in instead.” Of course, he kept some complaints to himself since she was his own cousin after all.
Seeing a little girl in a light-green dress beside He Teng, Lan Li grinned and shot an inquisitive look at him.
“He Zhilan, my wife.” said He Teng.
“I heard you took a long leave to go back home and get married.
I thought our commander was fibbing.
Is your wife also a student at Capital University?”
Everyone in the army knows about He Teng.
Besides his impressive achievements, his taciturn nature also incites curiosity about his personal life.
Lan Li did hear some rumors about He Teng getting married in his hometown but chose not to believe it till he heard it from He Teng himself.
Even now, it was hard to believe.
“Yes, a freshman this year.” He Teng nodded.
“Good for you, young chap!” Lan Li gave He Teng a meaningful look that any man would understand.
Being married to such a charming and young woman from Capital University was indeed a blessing, wasn’t it?
However, Lan Li believed that marrying a wife wasn’t just about her beauty or college status.
The most crucial factor was a person’s character, especially that of a soldier’s wife.
Who wouldn’t know that being a soldier’s wife wasn’t much different than being a widow?
A soldier’s life is dedicated to the country.
How many of them can actually spare time for their wives and kids?
