Even He Teng, who wasn't one for showing much emotion, couldn't help but smirk. Just yesterday, Zhilan was complaining about his beard, and today she had changed her mind.
The midday meal was much more bountiful than yesterday's dinner. Zhilan had gone out of her way to buy groceries early in the morning, she even splurged on a small hen and goji berries to make a stew; all to improve He Teng's health.
Although restoring his lost vitality from the past twenty days cannot be achieved overnight, she planned to replenish him as much as she could in the next few days. Once he returned to the base, it would be impossible for him to get this kind of care.
After lunch, He Teng exited alongside Zhilan and led her to Xing Ye's place. While he discussed matters with Xing Ye, Zhilan was alone, sipping tea in Xing Ye's office and waiting. About half an hour later, He Teng and Xing Ye returned, both looking serious.
