Chapter 151 Warm Warm 3_1
He Teng glanced at the book in He Zhilan’s hand, the one he didn’t understand, he knew how much she enjoyed reading. Rather than disturb her, he just sat leaning against the head of the bed and lit up a cigarette.
Heard the noise, He Zhilan looked at him with surprise. She did not remember He Teng having a smoking addiction. She had been at the base for almost two days and this was the first time she had seen him smoke. However, she had seen him smoke at home before.
"If you are disgusted by the smoke, I can put it out." He Teng took a glance at He Zhilan, seeing her surprised expression and prepared to extinguish his cigarette after knocking off some ash.
"Although I don’t like it, I wouldn’t say I hate it. I just didn’t see you smoke in these two days since the arrival, I thought you didn’t have an addiction to smoking." said He Zhilan.
He Teng still put out his cigarette, it wouldn’t be fair to force his wife to inhale secondhand smoke. He leaned forward and poured some water into the tin box. There was no ashtray in the guest house, so he used the snack box He Zhilan had brought.
He Zhilan did not know about these base customs. Over the past two days, she saw many people smoke, so she figured there was no strict no-smoking order at He Teng’s military base.
After extinguishing his cigarette, seeing He Zhilan continuing to stare at him, He Teng thought she was waiting for an answer. "I don’t have an addiction, I occasionally smoke when I’m bored, might not even go through a pack in a year." he responded.
"That’s good then," He Zhilan nodded. If he doesn’t even finish a pack in a year, he has no smoking habit at all. But thinking about his answer, she paused, maybe, He Teng was smoking now out of boredom?
That makes sense. She wouldn’t get bored lying on the bed reading, but He Teng wasn’t asleep yet. Lying there alone would indeed get dull.
However, if he was bored, why wouldn’t he talk to her? Ask her to stop reading?
