Chapter 876: Gunshots on a Rainy Night 7
He Zhilan’s hands always turned icy in winter, and this time, it was particularly severe.
Lowering her gaze, she looked at her small hand resting in his palm. He Teng gently closed his fingers around it and began to speak, his voice hoarse, "I’ve notified them, but due to the distance and lack of airplanes in nearby cities, it will be two days before they can arrive."
At noon, Xing Ye sent someone to pick up He Teng. Seeing Kang Xing unwilling to leave the hospital alone, He Zhilan then pulled him out.
"Kang Xing, when I saw Niu Rang die in front of me, I felt even worse than you, but I know that Niu Rang is gone, and we need to try even harder to live on. So, when it’s time to eat, we must continue to eat; when it’s time to rest, we must continue to rest," He Zhilan said, looking worriedly at Kang Xing, "Maybe one day, you’ll have the chance to avenge him personally, right?"
Kang Xing was one of the closest people to Niu Rang in the troops. The two of them shared a room from the moment they enlisted, and over the years, they stuck together all the time in the military. Even though Niu Rang was verbally harsh and especially enjoyed teasing Kang Xing, their brotherly bond only grew stronger with each passing day.
He Zhilan was not very familiar with the area around the hospital, so she just dragged Kang Xing around the vicinity before taking him into a small eatery. They’d just ordered two bowls of noodles, and before their order arrived, they saw Gu En and Lan Song walk in.
"He Zhilan, what a coincidence. How come I run into you everywhere?" Gu En had come in with Lan Song, but they were walking one behind the other. Obviously, they didn’t look like they would dine in such a small place, but they had entered the eatery simply because they saw He Zhilan.
