Chapter 837: Wood Gains Enlightenment 10
He Teng didn’t know if falling for someone, liking someone was supposed to be like this.
His entanglement with He Zhilan was both helpless yet full of anticipation; every time she left the military base, he couldn’t help but start looking forward to her next visit.
When she cried, it pained him to watch. When she was careless, always getting herself hurt in her confusion, he felt as if he had this sensation, knowing she was in pain, that he would rather suffer the pain on her behalf.
Sometimes when she became too unreasonable and disobedient, he got angry, feeling like he wanted to strangle her, but as soon as she put on a pitiful and aggrieved face, he would become completely helpless.
At night, when she lay sleeping next to him, clinging closely to him, those moments, for He Teng, were truly joyful yet torturous.
But, that night in Qiao City, it really changed too much.
After that night, He Teng found it impossible to convince himself to let go of He Zhilan.
It was as if she was a treasure that he had set aside, waiting for someone else to pick up, but the moment someone showed intent to stoop down and take it, he would be the first to rush forward, wishing he could kill them.
That tangled feeling tormented He Teng for over three years.
It was only that night that He Teng recognized his own heart; in fact, no matter how much he backed away or pushed her away, deep down, he had branded He Zhilan with his own mark, as He Teng’s exclusively owned Baobei, to be looked at by others, but definitely not to be coveted! Not even wishful thinking was allowed!
So, once he realized this, He Teng figured it out—if hiding from, avoiding, and pushing away He Zhilan was this troubling, he was better off bringing He Zhilan back to his side, to protect and cherish her himself. If He Zhilan ever regretted it in the future, he wouldn’t care!
