Stars In His Eyes

For some reason, He Teng himself didn’t know why he wanted to compare himself to Kang Xing.

Chen Ya’nan ran all the way there and back, and in her hand, apart from homework and reference books, was a bag full of snacks, with biscuits and candies included.

"Uncle He, Sister Zhilan and I need to study now, and we’ll rest after studying. Don’t hang around here and disturb us! Goodbye, Uncle He, good night!" Chen Ya’nan pushed He Teng out of the room while doing a fake goodbye gesture. Before He Teng could respond, she slammed the door shut.

Then, Chen Ya’nan raised her eyebrows and walked back in, saying, "How was that, Sister Zhilan? Do you feel vindicated? Let Uncle He taste what it’s like to get locked out!"

He Teng, who had been denied entry, heard clearly what Chen Ya’nan said from outside the room. She was being loud, clearly wanting He Teng, who was outside, to hear.

A bit exasperated, He Teng scratched his head, then knocked on the door saying, "Give me the kettle, I will go get some hot water."

"No!" Chen Ya’nan yelled from inside the room.

He Zhilan was both amused and exasperated. She gave a light shake of her head to Chen Ya’nan and picked up the kettle on the floor, then opened the door. "Could you bother getting me some hot water, brother? Thanks!"
