After the Spring Festival, He Teng returned to the unit first. Naturally, upon returning, the first thing he did was to contact Lin Deng to ask about matters regarding his wife.
Learning that Lin Deng spent the New Year with He Zhilan, He Teng couldn't help but feel envious, and even a bit bitter inside. During such a festive season, the person accompanying his wife and child wasn't himself but another man, which left He Teng feeling quite uneasy.
"Don't worry, your wife is doing well. It's just that your kid can be quite a handful. Also, although she didn't say it explicitly, I know she really misses you."
With just that one sentence from Lin Deng, He Teng found himself caught in endless self-blame.
"Next time you see her, tell my wife that I miss her too, and the child as well." After a long silence, He Mutou finally uttered a sentence.
This startled Lin Deng quite a bit, as he had never heard He Teng speak in such an emotional way before.
