Chapter 701: Return to the Capital 10_1
During dinner, Kang Xing gallantly volunteered to show Dongxue around the regiment camp that night. So, as soon as they finished dining, Dongxue, full of energy, went with Kang Xing. Niu Rang saw that He Zhilan and He Teng were together and quickly decided he didn’t want to be a third wheel.
"Do we just take a walk or head straight back to the guest house?" He Teng looked at Zhilan and asked, glancing downward.
"Let’s take a walk then. We’ll have nothing to do if we go back so early." Zhilan looked up at He Teng with a smile, "The night sky here in the camp is as beautiful as the one back home!"
"Hmm." Hoping for He Teng to follow along with a poetic or artistic comment would be wishful thinking; receiving a response from him was already a face-saving gesture.
Reflecting, when was the last time she had taken such aimless walks with He Teng?
Ever since their divorce, or rather ever since He Teng shut her out, there were very few instances of them being alone together.
The training ground of the camp was spacious. Above them was a starry night sky, beautiful as an ink painting, and underneath, a soft grass lawn. On an undisturbed night, all that could be heard were their footfalls.
"Sometimes, I suddenly feel like life is quite fulfilling." Zhilan suddenly sighed, then, without waiting for He Teng’s reaction, she reached out and pulled him in closer. "It would be even more fulfilling if you agreed to remarry me! By the way, isn’t Tang Tang stationed in this camp? How come I haven’t seen her? Is she constantly trying to get close to you lately?"
