Stars In His Eyes-Chapter 1812: Sincere Feelings, Part 25

In short, when it comes to routine, Little Tuanyuan is even more punctual than He Teng.

After laughing and chatting around Little Tuanyuan for a bit, the group’s conversation naturally turned to He Da and Chen Ning, since Lin Chan had used the excuse of celebrating their engagement to gather everyone together for some fun.

Bian Muhe laughed and said, "I thought we’d have a drink for He Da and Chen Ning’s engagement when they returned, but who would’ve guessed, for someone who always seems so quiet, when it comes to getting married, He Da is more eager than anyone! They just got engaged directly in C Province and caught us off guard."

"Don’t think I don’t know, you all were betting in private on how many days He Da would spend in C Province before bringing back the good news! In the end, everyone lost miserably!" Bian Xiulin exposed Bian Muhe’s fake smile, "But if you’re going to blame someone, blame Chen Shan. She gave us the wrong information, making Chen Ning’s parents sound like absolute monsters!"

He Zhilan chuckled and continued, "Uncle Chen and Auntie are actually really nice." After pausing, He Zhilan glanced at Bian Muhe and the others, and with a light laugh asked, "My second brother is engaged, even our Dongxue has paired up with Lin Chan. Qi Chengnan, Bian Muhe, Bian Mufan, Chen Yun, Lin Deng, when are you five going to let us have some wedding celebrations?"

"I’m not in a rush." Chen Yun chuckled and shook his head at He Zhilan, "I haven’t even decided who I want to marry yet. Once I do, it’ll be just a matter of minutes!"

"Yeah, right!"

"Who are you fooling?"

"Who’d believe that?"

As soon as Chen Yun finished speaking, he was met with a chorus of teasing and ridicule from his friends. Who would believe Chen Yun, really?

To be honest, there had never really been any juicy stories about Chen Yun. Yet, no woman had ever gotten close to him over the years.

"You’re talking about me? What about you guys? Aren’t you all eternal bachelors!" Chen Yun grabbed some sunflower seeds from the table and threw them at his buddies sitting opposite. None of them managed to dodge, and they all got hit. This made the guys on the other side so angry that they jumped up and rushed over to start a playful fight with Chen Yun.

Watching everyone joke around and have fun, Lin Deng couldn’t help but smile too. Then he moved his wheelchair slightly and said to He Zhilan, "I’m going to the restroom."

He Zhilan nodded and instinctively asked, "Do you want me to ask my brother to go with you?"

Lin Deng smiled and refused, "No need. I’m not a three-year-old needing constant care, am I?"

He Zhilan understood Lin Deng’s pride and didn’t push further, giving a warm smile and a nod. Though she didn’t move, her gaze stayed on Lin Deng, watching until he safely mingled with the crowd and was out of sight.

"Xiulin," He Zhilan tugged at Bian Xiulin, who was still happily causing a stir. Once she returned to her senses, He Zhilan asked with concern, "Didn’t Lin Deng go to your hospital for a follow-up a few days ago? How is he doing?" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Same as before, old injuries still take their toll. A few years back, he was at death’s door. Besides losing a leg, he has many lingering wounds. The weather in the capital has been terrible, with constant rain. His wounds have been acting up, but fortunately, he hasn’t been stubborn about using his prosthetic and is resting more in the wheelchair. Taking medicine on time, he’ll feel a bit better once the weather clears up." Saying this, Bian Xiulin sighed herself, "You see him like this, with no complaints or visible frowns; you’d think he’s doing just fine. The meds help somewhat, but they can’t ease all his physical pain, and yet he doesn’t show it at all. It makes my heart ache. Lin Deng is too strong-willed, he pushes himself too hard."
