Stars In His Eyes

"Be careful, she injured her hand, don’t touch it." He Teng reminded Chen Ya’nan after seeing He Zhilan wince in pain when her hand was bumped by Chen Ya’nan.

Only then did Chen Ya’nan stop her playful behavior, she lowered her head and held He Zhilan’s hand up, with an expression of disgust, "Auntie He, you’re an adult now, why are you so careless? How did you get hurt? It’s New Year, people would love to dress up and look beautiful, only you, look at your hand, it’s like a pig’s trotter, even in braised flavor!"

"Stop teasing me!" He Zhilan flicked Chen Ya’nan’s forehead with her hand. However, because she used too much force, her own hand ended up hurting.

Chen Ya’nan couldn’t calm herself, upon hearing that He Teng would take He Zhilan to rest, she ran away, disappointed, and said she would visit He Zhilan in the evening.

During New Year, the military’s guest house was far more lively than when He Zhilan came during National Day. Moreover, whether by coincidence or arrangement, she was placed in the same room she stayed in last time.

"It feels like home." He Zhilan walked into the room with a spring in her step and sat down on the bed. She moved around; the bed was soft and comfy.

He Teng followed He Zhilan into the room, hearing her comment made him pause a little. His deep eyes rested on He Zhilan, who was enjoying herself alone. Did she really see this place as home?

Was it because he was there?

After putting He Zhilan’s belongings aside, He Teng spoke, "You haven’t eaten, right? I asked the canteen to make something for you before I left, I’ll go get it for you."
