He Teng secretly left the capital and the troops, officially claiming it was for a mission, but those in the know understood he was joyfully going to pick up his young wife.
After more than half a year apart, when He Teng entered the troops, his palms were sweating from nerves, a feeling he hadn't experienced in his life before.
He Zhilan didn't know exactly when He Teng would arrive, so she waited for days, assuming someone would inform her ahead of time. She didn't expect that the person she longed for day and night would suddenly knock on her door, showing up before her without any warning.
Then, he called softly, "Wife."
Seeing the person standing at the door, He Zhilan even thought she was hallucinating. It wasn't until He Teng commented, "You've gotten darker," that He Zhilan truly believed it was He Teng standing there.
