79 -79: Lin Chan’s Circle 2_1

Chen Zheng made a decision on He Teng’s behalf with a single slam on the table, “Call your wife before she comes, so the army can arrange someone to pick her up from the train station in advance!

All right, your work here is done, go and read the letter your wife wrote to you quickly.

You got married and then separated, who knows how your wife is going to blame you!”

“Okay.” He Teng stood up, saluted, and left.

Faced with Chen Zheng’s teasing, he gave no reaction, which irritated Chen Zheng.

He shook his head at He Teng’s departing figure and laughed quietly to himself, “Such a wooden personality, it’s a wonder he got married at all!”

“Platoon Leader!”

He Teng was stopped as soon as he left the building.

A few lads immediately spotted the letter in his hand, “A letter from your wife?”

“Yes.” He Teng nodded, his hand moving fast.

In a second, he lifted the letter above his head.

Kang Xing who tried to snatch the letter was left empty-handed and began to laugh sheepishly.

“Platoon Leader, we didn’t get to drink your wedding wine or even see your wife.

Do you have wedding photos with your wife to share?

What did your wife tell you in the letter?

Does she miss you?

Don’t underestimate Niu Rang.

Despite being short and having a dark complexion, he was one of the soldiers under He Teng’s command who always had schemes up his sleeve.”

He Teng didn’t have the habit of sharing his personal letters.

In the army, many soldiers would show off their letters from their sweethearts, but He Teng wasn’t one of them.

He wasn’t the kind of man who craved attention.

Seeing He Teng’s stern look, they knew they had no chance.

Their platoon leader didn’t have a sharing heart!

“Platoon Leader, we don’t need to see the letter, but can you show us your wedding photos?

We heard your wife is a Capital University student.

She must be quite impressive.

Show us what she looks like, or else we won’t recognize her if we ever run into her on the street!”

“No photo.” He Teng responded tersely and headed for his dormitory with the letter, leaving the soldiers behind who followed like puppies until he turned his head and glared at them.

They immediately stopped.

He Teng thought, it seemed that the only joint photo he had with He Zhilan was on their marriage certificate.

Also, there weren’t many photos of Zhilan at home.

They were poor and could only afford to take photos about once a year.

Quite often when it was time for a family photo, she would hide.

Upon opening the letter, He Teng saw Zhilan’s graceful handwriting.

He had known from a long time ago that Zhilan’s handwriting was particularly pleasant.

Zhilan joined the He family at six, and she was already able to write many characters.

Moreover, her writing was prettier than that of children several years older than her.

Sometimes the villagers would write calligraphy, and during her first year in the He family, she would join the elders and write a few characters.

The villagers all praised Zhilan’s beautiful handwriting.

But because Zhilan was a quiet girl who kept to herself and did not interact much with others, the villagers gradually drifted away from her.

He Teng had not seen Zhilan practice calligraphy ever since.

Later, when he joined the army and rarely returned home, Zhilan would either keep her distance from him or lock herself in her room to do homework.

Even when she showed up, she would keep her head down and avoid his eyes.
