“That’s true, he didn’t look at you in a friendly way.” Tan Heqian nodded, shrugged his shoulders, “No wonder, but where are you heading now?”
“Aren’t you going to play sports?
It’s still early, you can go, I’ll return to the dorms.” Other than the library, He Zhilan had nowhere else to go.
“Then I’ll go~” Tan Heqian’s smirk was plastered on his face, his feet already turned towards the sports hall, “You can come to the sports hall to find me if anything comes up!
With that said, Tan Heqian had already begun to run off speedily, as if he was afraid that He Zhilan would suddenly change her mind and drag him around with her again.
The dorm was unusually quiet, Gu En only considered it one of the places to rest, and Chen Xiting and Jiang Biyun could not stay idle.
At this time, the two of them were probably roaming around the school’s commercial district.
As for Wang Bingbing and Huang Cai, He Zhilan couldn’t guess where they were.
The book she had barely read a few pages of yesterday was still on her desk.
He Zhilan pulled a chair and prepared to sit down and read to pass the time when the phone in the dorm suddenly rang.
Almost immediately, He Zhilan sprung up and rushed over to answer the phone.
The phone only rang twice before she answered it, a testament to how quickly she moved.
“Brother?” As He Zhilan answered the phone, the first thing she asked was tentative, until she heard He Teng’s deep voice grunting in confirmation on the other end, and she sighed with relief.
Her worried tone was evident in her voice, “Brother, didn’t you promise to call me as soon as you got to the military base?
Why did you only call now?
Do you have any idea how worried I was when I didn’t get your call.
I was practically dying of worry.”
There wasn’t a hint of exaggeration in her words, she really was worried to the point of being upset!
However, He Teng on the other end chuckled, “I had a mission as soon as I arrived at the military base, I didn’t have time to call.
I’m not like you, there’s nothing for you to worry about.”
He Zhilan was momentarily stunned by his laughter, and when she spoke again, her tone was more casual, “I’ve been worrying needlessly.” There was an inevitable sense of disappointment in her heart.
She didn’t quite understand what He Teng meant by ‘I’m not like you’.
He Teng was a man of few words, even a careless utterance could cause He Zhilan to overthink.
Thankfully, he didn’t let the phone call become awkward, and he took the initiative to ask He Zhilan if she had gotten used to life at school.
I’ve made a few friends, they’re all pretty nice.” He Zhilan let out a sigh, “I initially planned to work in the school’s cafeteria to earn my meal money, but they’re not hiring anymore.”
“Since you’re there to study, focus on your studies.
You don’t need to worry about anything else.” At this point, the only things that concerned He Teng in the army were money, and He Da’s whereabouts.
However, there wasn’t much that He Teng could do in the military.
His monthly salary and allowances were fixed, and what he could send back home was the same.
As for finding He Da, although the military could provide some assistance, the results were minimal.
