This was the first New Year she spent with He Teng. Seeing him wearing the sweater she knitted with her own hands brought He Zhilan a very ordinary but extraordinarily pleasing sense of happiness.
He Zhilan thought to herself that she wanted to spend every New Year with He Teng from now on, and every year, she would knit him a sweater. She would do this until she grew old and could no longer knit.
"Brother! I forgot to wish you a Happy New Year!" He Zhilan stood at the bathroom door, watching He Teng bustling about. When she realized what he was using the hot water for, her face flushed crimson.
That’s right, he said he would wipe her body!
He Teng was not just mouthing empty words. After preparing the water, he urged He Zhilan to leave her heavy coat outside to avoid getting it wet. Actually, He Teng knew that after the pregnancy misunderstanding incident at the hospital caused by He Zhilan, he could not let her get pregnant at this time. So, in the end, he did not leave his seed inside He Zhilan’s body, which meant...
Throughout the whole process, He Zhilan’s face was as red as a cooked shrimp. She didn’t dare to look at He Teng, only, her senses were particularly acute, she could clearly feel where He Teng’s hand was gliding over her body, separated only by a towel.
Those few minutes felt like centuries to He Zhilan. After He Teng told her to put her clothes back on, she quickly slipped back into her garments, claiming that she was still sleepy and retreated back to her turtle shell-like bed.
While He Zhilan was hiding outside in shyness, He Teng inside the bathroom was also feeling a bit uncomfortable~
After tidying up, He Teng saw that the woman on the bed was quiet, so he exited the room alone to cool off. He didn’t expect that He Zhilan actually fell asleep. She wasn’t woken up until someone came looking for her.
The person looking for He Zhilan was Tang Tang from the art troupe. She had specifically asked for He Zhilan’s address and came looking for her.
"You’re Tang Tang, right?" He Zhilan rubbed her eyes while glancing around the room. She did not know where He Teng had gone off to. Not seeing him there, she no longer dwelled on it. She, however, was puzzled as to why Tang Tang had come looking for her.
"Yes." Tang Tang nodded, saying, "After lunch, I will leave with the art troupe to perform at the next military base. I have some free time now and knowing you are in the base, I thought of coming over to chat with you. Aren’t you going to invite me in?"
Seeing people coming and going in this guesthouse, He Zhilan reluctantly invited Tang Tang in despite her misgiving.
"Are you not fond of me because Gu En hurt you?" Tang Tang sighed helplessly, "Actually, I couldn’t really stop Gu En from doing anything. I tried to persuade her the day before yesterday, but since I am not close to her, she did not listen to me. I was just as helpless when she ended up hurting you."
"Aren’t you Gu En’s friend?" He Zhilan asked suspiciously.
"What friend? How can the Gu Family’s Little Princess be friends with someone like me?" This was the truth on Tang Tang’s part. "Gu En and I only went to the same high school. She was a grade below me. We just knew each other and weren’t close. We happened to run into each other on the street that day and I casually suggested going for coffee. I didn’t expect that she would agree, and then your incident happened."
While speaking, Tang Tang’s eyes scanned the room before stopping at some men’s clothes. A bit startled, she pointed to He Teng’s coat and shoes and asked, "These belong to your brother, right?"
This time it was He Zhilan’s turn to be shocked. Tang Tang didn’t know that He Teng was her husband?
"Yes." He Zhilan nodded in response to Tang Tang’s question.
