"I’m not going back to the capital!" He Zhilan stood at the doorway of the room, blocking He Teng inside, "If you can, carry me back to the capital and lock me up there, otherwise, I’m staying right here!"
"Zhilan~" He Teng really did have a headache, it was true he couldn’t control He Zhilan if she kept running to the army, "School and work are tough, you get so exhausted that you could collapse in the classroom in just half a month, if this goes on, will you end up collapsing on the road?"
At this point, He Teng became even more helpless, "You were never strong to begin with, and these years, no matter how hard we try, we can’t seem to fatten you up. You need to rest more, not exert yourself. Even Dad, if he were here today, would surely make this decision. Your career is in the capital, following me here doing unhappy work, wasting your own time, do you think that makes any sense?"
"For me, the meaning of my life is not some career. A career is just to ensure my life isn’t too embarrassing, the greatest meaning of my life, is you!" He Zhilan retorted with a low growl, then looked at He Teng, sobbing softly, with tears rolling down one by one, and when she spoke again, it was full of sobs, "Brother, let me stay in the city, please~"
"Zhilan~" Rubbing his forehead with tremendous headache, He Teng knew arguing was useless, as any harsh words would only make her cry. He really had no way of dealing with He Zhilan. After a long while, he said, "Suit yourself! Just don’t go back to the school, that’s all."
Then, He Teng had He Zhilan return to her room to rest, while he went to boil water to prepare her medicine.
At this moment, He Zhilan obediently nodded her head, returned to her room, and lay down like a good baby. But the young woman lying on the bed, where was the slightest sign of the pitifulness she had just shown?
Buried in the pillow, her face even showed a hint of a sly smile.
She knew as long as she acted pitiful, He Teng would comply with everything, he was truly a person who’s tough with words but soft at heart!
However, He Zhilan had not stayed in the army for two days when her cold had just gotten better, and Lin Chan called He Teng’s office to inform He Zhilan through him that there was a small trouble at Fang Therapy Pavilion, involving a nitpicking female customer.
When sending He Zhilan to the train station, He Teng had a very serious look on his face, not directed at He Zhilan, but at the fact that she had to return to the capital at this time.
"After you get back, remember to rest, and don’t forget to take your medicine after every meal. If you’re still feeling unwell, go to the hospital immediately. Don’t tough it out. If I get another call about you fainting, I’ll just drag you out and bury you, that would give me some peace of mind!" After worrying about He Zhilan a bit, He Teng let her board the train. Watching her anxious face, not sure if she was listening, he thought he might as well wait until He Zhilan got back to the capital and then call He Dongxue to keep an eye on her.
He Zhilan arrived in the capital late at night, and Lin Chan came to pick her up and briefed her about the situation in the car.
"A female customer insists that she got a facial allergy at Fang Therapy Pavilion that resulted in her face breaking out in red rashes and is making a scene wanting to smash the place. Chen Yun is already looking into the woman’s identity, and we should have some news soon." Lin Chan glanced at He Zhilan, "I heard from He Teng that you’ve been sick these past few days. You really didn’t have to come back yourself. Oh, and He Teng said you’ve quit your job at the school."
