"Bro! Why did you just leave!" He Zhilan complained a little, she waved her hand in front of He Teng, "I can’t wash my face! This morning, I just dabbed some water on a tissue and went out."
He Teng walked over and lowered his eyes to look at the towel He Zhilan was hanging from her finger. He teased in a soft voice, "I really don’t know whether Dad fixed me up with a wife or a daughter."
He Zhilan pouted and glared at He Teng, then threw the towel in her hand at him, clearing the way. After all, she was semi-disabled at the moment. She had to put up with his mockery, right?
He Teng seemed reluctant to tease, but after catching the towel, he went in and wrung it out, then placed the towel directly on He Zhilan’s face and began wiping it for her.
"Oh~ My God, it’s so cold!" He Zhilan shivered at the temperature of the towel, her teeth had been chattering from the cold while brushing her teeth earlier, and now washing her face was even colder.
As the coldness hit her, He Zhilan involuntarily pulled her face away. He Teng was wiping her face when she moved up towards the top of her head.
"How old are you? Can’t even wash your face quietly, no backbone, can’t stand straight?" He Teng scolded He Zhilan, but then thought he had been used to washing with cold water in the army, but He Zhilan was different,, so he softened his tone, "I’ll get hot water tomorrow, try to endure it tonight."
"Don’t bother, I’ll endure it. Sometimes when I forget to get hot water in advance at school, I do the same!" He Zhilan giggled, and only after He Teng finished washing her face did she say, "Thank you, Dad Ateng!"
Then she hurriedly left the bathroom, went straight to bed, picked up the quilt and burrowed inside.
He Teng was stunned in the bathroom for quite some time. His remark was just a joke, he didn’t expect that after washing He Zhilan’s face, he would be rewarded with such thanks, which left him bemused when he thought it over.
After tidying up the bathroom, He Teng went out to see a person in the quilt who had burrowed in like a small hill, half of her head and her blinking eyes following his figure. He strode over, lifted He Zhilan’s body a bit, then lay down, "Sleeping with your head covered is not good for your health."
"Oh." He Zhilan made a sound, then sat up, leaning against the head of the bed like He Teng, then asked, "Wasn’t General Gu already on his way to the army? That’s why you were called to pick him up. How come he suddenly didn’t come?"
"He had already reached the army gate, but then he received news that Gu En had a serious car accident and his life was in danger, so he rushed back in a panic." He Teng knew that He Zhilan had been wanting to ask about this all night. He admired her restraint in not pestering him to explain as soon as she found out that General Gu didn’t come.
"Gu En had a car accident?" He Zhilan was shocked, "During the New Year, a car accident? How unlucky!"
Indeed, having a car accident during the New Year is extremely unlucky for anyone, especially if their life is in danger. If it were an ordinary person, or even a stranger, He Zhilan would feel a little sympathy.
But this person is Gu En. When she thought about what Gu En had done to her, He Zhilan couldn’t muster even a bit of sympathy, and even took some pleasure in his misfortune.
