He Teng did not answer, and He Zhilan did not press him with questions, but her gaze remained fixed on him, waiting in silence for him to tell her the answer.
In this way, the room suddenly became extremely quiet, so quiet that the sounds from the other side of the yard could be heard clearly, even the rustling of the leaves on the hillside when the wind blew became exceptionally distinct.
"Brother~" He Zhilan raised her hand and tugged at He Teng's sleeve.
"The day I took you back home, I called the army to apply for resignation," He Teng said.
Immediately, He Zhilan's eyes widened in shock, her face full of astonishment, "Resigned?"
He Teng nodded, "The army is so busy at this time, they couldn't give me leave, but how could I feel at ease letting you go home alone? How could I feel at ease letting you face these things alone at this time?"
