When he returned to his seat, he saw Niu Rang sitting across from He Zhilan, constantly smiling at her. He Teng’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. Then he sat down next to He Zhilan with a plate and slid it towards her, noticing it was her portion.
Kang Xing was a bit slower, and with a face full of resentment, he stared at Niu Rang who had beaten him to the punch. The opportunity to interact closely with his sister-in-law was snatched by that kid, Niu Rang!
"Eh!" Kang Xing glanced at the plate in front of He Zhilan. "Squad leader, is that all you’re serving your sister-in-law? That’s barely enough for two mouthfuls!"
Once Kang Xing finished speaking, He Teng muttered something across from him, but said nothing further. Kang Xing, not understanding why, looked at the trio before lowering his head to eat his own food.
He Zhilan suppressed her laughter. She had not expected He Teng’s way of mocking to be so direct. A mere grunt, who wouldn’t know what he meant by that?
Niu Rang looked at Kang Xing with some sympathy and raised his head to look at He Teng. "Squad leader, Kang Xing here has never even held a girl’s hand despite his age and remains single up till now. He doesn’t understand that girls eat less."
