He Zhilan nodded, the nanny was preparing her bath, while she stood by the window looking out at the views, and thought that He Teng in the military could be still waiting for her safety confirmation call, so she borrowed a cell phone from Lin Chan.
Indeed, He Teng in the military was waiting for He Zhilan’s call. Checking the time, he thought that He Zhilan should have arrived by then and he stopped his work. Instead, he kept his eyes on the phone on his desk until it rang and he quickly answered.
"Brother, I’m here. I’m staying at Lin Chan’s house. Her parents are very kind and take good care of me. Don’t worry, I’ve made to the capital safely. You should also head back to your dormitory and rest."
From how quickly He Teng answered the call, He Zhilan knew he must have been waiting for her call in his office all along.
"Hmm, don’t cause any trouble for the Lin Family, behave while staying in their home," He Teng naturally added more cautionary words.
"Don’t worry, I’m not a three-year-old child!" He Zhilan couldn’t help but chuckle, "I’m all grown up, how much trouble could I possibly cause! Brother, I’ll come to see you again next week. Don’t let any young woman from the military catch your eye while I’m gone! I won’t accept any daughter-in-law of the He Family other than me!"
"All you do is talk nonsense all day." He Teng’s tone relaxed, even though he faintly understood that He Zhilan was probably concerned about him marrying another woman due to her repeatedly saying these things today.
What she said and did today at the train station indeed surprised him.
Even, he couldn’t deny that He Zhilan’s sudden kiss made his heart jolt. Even after returning to the military, it lingered in his mind and was hard to erase.
Nevertheless, even so, there are some things that he needed and had to say.
"Zhilan, don’t come to the military anymore. We’re divorced, even though we are still siblings, there is a layer of ex-husband and ex-wife’s relationship between us. Therefore, it’s not appropriate for you to keep coming to the military. Moreover, it would also exhaust you. Those skills that I taught you, you just need to practice them. remember the movements and practice till you familiarize with them."
"I don’t find it tiring, even if you are going to train me again next week, I will still go!" He Zhilan said defiantly, biting her lip.
"You don’t need to come, if you come I won’t pick you up, nor will I arrange for anyone to pick you up. Stay in the capital and focus on your studies." He Teng said with a serious tone, "Zhilan, it wasn’t until recently that I realized it was wrong of me to marry you. probably, it was the only thing I did wrong in my life. I always thought that if I followed all the predetermined plans and lived my life according to them, I would do no wrong. However, I never considered your feelings, never thought whether you wanted to live your life according to my plans or not."
"Brother, why are you suddenly saying these things?" He Teng is not an emotional person, so He Zhilan has never heard him say such sentimental words. His personality has been consistent. Even if he had any thoughts, what he would say was always simple and never filled with such feelings.
"Zhilan, you were never meant to belong to the He family. Therefore, you should have a world of your own. Initially, I, in my arrogance, asked you not to fly too high or too far, afraid that one day you would have a great fall, but failed to realize that although you grew up in a nest, you are the child of an eagle. When you grow up, you are destined to spread your wings, not return to the nest like a sparrow every sunset."
