Chapter 403: Winter Vacation Arrives 4_1
As soon as John left, Lin Chan and He Teng started talking without any hesitation. John may not speak much Chinese, but he could understand some of it.
"What does Lieutenant He think?" Lin Chan looked at He Teng, who seemed to have no obvious discontent on his face. He knew then that He Teng must have agreed.
Kang Xing glanced at the wall clock and gently reminded He Teng. They both needed to return to the army that day. He had bought their return tickets ahead of time out of fear that it would be too late to buy train tickets. Now, looking at the time, they should be heading to the train station soon.
Whenever it came to He Zhilan, Lin Chan was all heart. He decided to drive both men to the train station himself.
At this time, the train station was much busier than when He Zhilan had picked up Madam Tan. The farther they walked into the station, the more crowded it became.
"Brother." He Zhilan called out to He Teng, reaching out to hold his hand and said, "Brother, don’t worry. I can take care of myself in the capital. After the restaurant closes for the New Year, I will come to the army to celebrate New Year with you!"
He Teng nodded, and for the first time, he held He Zhilan’s hand instead of pulling away in front of others. His grip was gentle, with no force applied. He only held her hand because her fingers felt as cold as an ice pop when she touched his palm.
