There's still a week until the Lunar New Year. He Wan doesn't have many friends here.

Although Yang Tong has free time, it's only sometimes.

You can't just wander around in this kind of place out of curiosity. I didn't even dare to take a few photos of Lao Yun, mainly because I was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble for Zhou Ting'an.

So, aside from steaming buns and mantou, I spent my time studying in my room.

When Zhou Ting'an came home that evening, she saw English on her desk.

He smiled and said, "I didn't quite understand some of the materials you gave me last time, so I put them aside."

He Wan is very concerned about the studies of her generation, and deep down she really wants all her friends to seize the opportunity of next year's college entrance examination.

Upon hearing that Zhou Ting'an didn't understand some of the knowledge, he quickly said, "Why don't you ask me? Your sister may not be good at other things, but she's very good at English."

Zhou Ting'an readily agreed: "Sure, you can teach me when you get back tonight. We have some machines in our team with English on them, could you help me translate them?"

"OK."

So for the next few days, every evening after dinner, He Wan would teach Zhou Ting'an English, grammar, vocabulary, and sentence combinations.

She didn't even have time to chat with Lao Yun, and Lao Yun probably doesn't have time to talk to her right now either.

The two of them kept the lights on until after 11 p.m.

Old Yun made her coffee, and she took it out for Zhou Ting'an to try. It was his first time drinking it, and he found it a little bitter and not quite used to it.

He Wan added sugar and milk to it.

This suddenly broadened Zhou Ting'an's horizons: "Hmm, this is good, it tastes good."

"I have a lot here, I'll save some for you when I leave."

"Wanwan, where did you get so many foreign toys?"

"I bought it at the Friendship Store. I like drinking this."

Zhou Ting'an didn't think He Wan was wasting money. Both of them were the type who only had one person to feed and no one else to worry about, so they both had some savings.

Zhou Ting'an said he would buy more at the Friendship Store another day and bring it back for her.

He Wan quickly waved her hand to stop her. Was she someone who lacked that kind of thing? Why waste that money?

However, drinking coffee at night makes it easy to have trouble sleeping. It might be okay for a day or two, but over time it will make you feel tired because of poor sleep. Zhou Ting'an has been training with dark circles under her eyes for the past two days.

My teammates teased me about it, and I told them about it when I got home.

The wives in the family knew that Zhou Ting'an's house had been brightly lit for the past few nights.

In addition, since many people knew that He Wan's surname was not Zhou and that she was his god-sister, no one thought much of it.

But when her husband said that, it became a connection.

When the sisters-in-law from several families were chatting downstairs during the day, they started gossiping: "My husband Zhang said that Commander Zhou has had dark circles under his eyes these past few days."

Another woman said, "Night after night, even the strongest man can't withstand such unrestrained behavior."

The third sister-in-law asked, "What do you mean?"

"Zhou Ting'an's sister isn't his biological sister; she might be his lover, but she's still young, so he hasn't dared to make it clear yet."

However, the two hadn't seen each other for several years, and when they finally met again...

"Haha, they're at the peak of their sexual energy, and this man and woman alone together, what do you think that means?"

The women who were listening suddenly understood.

In less than a day, the rumors about the two of them spread throughout the entire residential compound.

Of course, it was all done quietly. Zhou Ting'an, a grown man, didn't pay much attention to He Wan, who rarely went out, but since she was in the team, he overheard some things.

Zhou Ting'an had a lot of complaints about the women in the compound. Without He Wan's knowledge, he deliberately clashed with those gossipy family members and got into several fights.

When he returned home that evening, He Wan noticed a purplish-blue mark on the corner of his mouth and asked worriedly, "Brother Zhou, what happened to you?"
