Chapter 1164: Chapter 1164: Zhilan’s 7th Month of Pregnancy
“Is there anyone around you? Is it convenient to talk about personal matters on the phone?” Lin Deng wasn’t dumb. He worried soone might be with He Teng, so he didn’t bring it up imdiately.
“Go ahead.” There was only He Teng in the office.
“A few days ago, when I took so people into the mountains for wilderness training, I ran into your wife. She asked to tell you sothing: you’re going to be a father. Your wife is pregnant, over three months now.” Lin Deng also worried that soone might suddenly enter the office, so he got straight to the point without saying more.
Understandably, an unexpected big surprise like this landed on He Teng without warning, leaving him astonished.
Imdiately, He Teng’s lips began to curve upwards, and eventually, his smile nearly reached the back of his ears.
He quietly touched his nose, pretending to be calm, “Oh, I know.” But inside, it was as if a little man was floating up inside a bubble of happiness, nearly soaring into the sky.
“She’s doing well, in good spirits.” Lin Deng felt that He Teng’s reaction was a bit too calm, so he added, “In just six months, your child will be born.”
“Okay, got it, thanks, Lin Deng. If you see her again, tell her to take care of herself, and let her know that I’m here and thinking of her and the child.” After saying this, He Teng happily hung up the phone, then sat in his chair, simply overwheld with excitent.
Stay calm! Must stay calm! Can’t let anyone see anything!
He Teng moved his hands from his knees to the table, laying them flat, but then thought it seed too deliberate, and others would surely see he had joyous news hidden inside.
So then, he put his hands back on his knees, but after looking, still felt uneasy, and tucked his hands into his pockets before standing up and walking out of the office.
But, no matter how much he tried to make his actions deliberate to seem usual, a person’s happiness in their heart couldn’t be hidden in their eyes.
“Hey, He Teng, are you heading out?” Chen Zheng and a few others greeted when they ran into him at the door.
“Yeah, just going to the shooting range to check on the training.” He Teng replied with a calm face, “Commissioner, if there’s nothing, I’ll head out then~”
Chen Zheng nodded, suspiciously glancing at He Teng’s face as he oddly walked away, feeling like sothing wasn’t quite right.
“This guy’s hiding sothing!” The chief instructor ca over and said, “Look at how he walks, like he’s marching in formation. I bet if you called a cadence, he’d snap to attention.”
“No wonder I thought sothing was strange. When has He Teng ever walked with his hands in his pockets on base?” Chen Zheng nodded his head, “Seems like he’s hiding so good news.”
“Well, he’s not saying, who can pry open his mouth? Good news, then. Since his wife’s been gone these months, you’ve seen how he’s been like a cloud of gloom follows him everywhere, and the pressure around him is so intense it’s like being in a refrigerator. His recruits are almost crying and begging not to be trained by him.” The chief instructor clicked his tongue, “If there’s sothing that can make him happy now, just let it be. Just hope he stays happy for a while and doesn’t go back to that half-dead deanor in an hour.”
“That’s true, he’s had it rough these months. My wife says, ever since he brought Zhilan’s plants back, he’s been just staring at them every night, like he even knows when they lose a few leaves.” Chen Zheng shook his head.
