Stars In His Eyes

"I won’t be going for now because I want to go back to my hometown. I’ve been away from home for a year already and I didn’t go back for the New Year celebrations. I’m sure my dad and Dongxue miss me a lot." He Zhilan shook her head. While she loved money, she now loved her family even more. She hadn’t seen them for a year, and she missed them greatly, just as they must miss her.

This term, she made some money by selling hair accessories. So, she planned to go back home and live with her family for a while, "If it is possible, can I come back earlier and work for a month?"

"Sure. After your vacation, just call me whenever you want to come back to the capital. I’ll arrange everything with John for you. John and his wife like you very much. If you worked for just ten days, let alone a month, they’d be overjoyed!" Lin Chan nodded.

Lin Chan already felt a bit reluctant at the thought of He Zhilan going back to her faraway rural hometown for at least a month during the summer vacation. Ever since he met He Zhilan, it seemed that he hadn’t spent such a long time without seeing her. He Zhilan had become a small part of Lin Chan’s life, just like his sister, as he said.

"However, it’s a good thing that you’re going back. The He Family has treated you so well. As human beings, we cannot forget our roots and should never be ungrateful. I support your decision to go back and spend quality time with your family!" This was how Lin Chan encouraged He Zhilan, "When we were younger, we didn’t understand many things and made mistakes, which was acceptable, but now that we’ve grown up, we should take care of our elders."

"Yes!" He Zhilan nodded, "But, if I go back to my hometown, I won’t be able to visit my brother’s army base and won’t be able to see you guys. I think I will miss you all!"

"If you don’t miss us, that would mean you, He Zhilan, are heartless!" Lin Chan took over the conversation and laughed. When they arrived at their destination, he helped He Zhilan unload the goods from the car.
