Chapter 158: Sudden Farewell 5_1
She fell silent, not speaking any further. She now realized that He Teng wasn’t much of a talker, especially in public, and expecting a man who didn’t usually talk to explain things as clearly as the young soldier had done was probably asking too much. However, the young soldier’s explanation had somehow soothed her, at least now she knew that He Teng’s sudden coldness wasn’t due to anything she had done wrong.
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the local Armed Police station. He Teng and Lan Li needed to press on, so they got out of the car there, leaving the young soldier to drive He Zhilan to the train station.
"Brother!" He Teng had already got off the car and walked a few steps with his luggage. He Zhilan watched his retreating figure from the car window.
Upon hearing her call, the man in front turned around, his gaze resting on her face.
"Brother, no matter what, be careful, take care of yourself, and remember to call me after the mission is over." Because of the distance between them, He Zhilan had to raise her voice slightly.
With that said, she fell silent. The two locked eyes through the distance between them. The emotions she had been suppressing spilled over all at once, collapsing her composure in a heartbeat.
The man on the other side nodded at her before disappearing into the Armed Police station with Lan Li, gradually slipping from her sight.
"Damn you, He Teng! It’s as though speaking a few more words in public is a mortal sin for you!" He Zhilan retorted under her breath. In truth, she had many more things she wanted to say to He Teng, but time was against her.
The long-awaited National Day visit she had been looking forward to had barely begun, and they already had to part. The joy of seeing each other again hadn’t even fully set in yet.
