Chapter 773 Graduation 3_1
"Dongxue, you don’t know how long I had to pester your brother in the army to get his agreement to be here today," He Zhilan sounded a bit exasperated. "Your brother, getting him to come out is getting tougher the higher he goes!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" He Teng glanced sidelong at He Zhilan and then explained, "I just am not used to crowded places. This is filled with your classmates and teachers, why should I join the fuss?"
"To make up numbers, of course!" He Dongxue chimed in with a cheeky laugh, "Graduation is a big deal, it’s necessary to have important people around you!"
Being a mere number is not He Teng’s cup of tea. When the crowd increases, everyone tends to glance at him twice and he feels uncomfortable all over. If he glares back at others, the faint-hearted would be terrified.
It wasn’t that He Teng looked terribly ferocious, but his unexpressive wooden face paired with his sharp gaze could intimidate others.
"Brother, I plan to bring Dad and Second Brother to the capital for a while during my summer break. Conveniently, I have some spare time over the break, so I want to take Second Brother to the hospital to get a prosthetic," He Zhilan looked up at He Teng. "Can you take some time off? If you can’t, then Dongxue and I will go back by ourselves."
"Second Brother will be absolutely delighted!" Dongxue knew that all these years, Zhilan hadn’t forgotten what she wanted to do. She worked hard to earn money, then planned to bring Second Brother to the capital for proper treatment.
The graduation ceremony was bustling with activity. College graduation is a critical event in everyone’s life. For those who have parents in the capital, all would make time to attend the ceremony. Even parents like Tan Heqian’s, who traveled from afar, make it a point to be present.
