Could it be that he just wanted to find a random woman to satisfy his physiological needs?
Du Yue guessed in her heart. She saw Shen Teng stop smiling and reminisce.
“Her appearance is similar to my ex-lover. 1 still remember the extreme heat at the beginning of the apocalypse. The sudden natural disaster caused everyone to fall into panic for a moment, and countless people were killed or injured. We were lucky enough to survive, but the extremely cold weather that followed was even more difficult to endure. Her constitution was weak to begin with, and the sudden drop in temperature caused her to have a high fever and fall ill several times. Even though 1 tried everything I could to get some medicine, she still passed away in the end.
“That day, 1 bumped into Zhang Hui on the grassland. When Zhang Hui looked up at me, I really thought that she had returned.”
The three of them knew what happened next, so Shen Teng did not need to continue.
Xia Ju shook her head. “No one can replace your first love.”
Du Yue looked at her, thinking that she had read too many novels. However, she did not say anything because she thought so too.
Shen Teng forced a smile when he heard Xia Ju’s words. “You’re right. I treated Zhang Hui as her substitute, but 1 realized that Zhang Hui was not her. No matter how hard I tried, 1 couldn’t fall in love with Zhang Hui. So, 1 don’t want her to really love me. This is good. I don’t have to feel guilty.”
Zhang Hui wanted a stable life by his side. There was no relationship between the two of them. He could understand why Zhang Hui wanted to take over his tent after he fell sick. However, understanding did not mean forgiveness.
“She has malicious intentions, but I’m not any better. It’s wrong for me to treat people as substitutes, so 1’11 let this matter go. 1 don’t plan to pursue it. In the future, everyone can just pretend that we never met.”
In the end, this was Shen Teng’s personal matter. No matter what Du Yue and the other two thought, only Shen Teng could make the final decision. Now that Shen Teng said that he did not want to pursue the matter, Du Yue and the others naturally would not object.
Seeing Shen Teng struggling to get up, Du Yue went forward to stop him. “What are you doing? If you’re not feeling well, you should rest first. There’s no hurry for the rest.”
Shen Teng still sat up. It was just a simple action, but he was so tired that he began to pant heavily. After hearing Du Yue’s words, Shen Teng gave her a comforting smile. “I’m fine. 1 want to resolve this matter as soon as possible. It’s good for everyone.”
Seeing Shen Teng’s insistence, Du Yue could not persuade him any further and could only nod. It was just that Shen Teng had just woken up and the strength in his body had not recovered yet. He was strong enough to stand up and stagger a few steps, but he almost fell down.
He Xing quickly went forward and reached out to help him. Du Yue and Xia Ju followed closely behind and walked out of the tent with Shen Teng.
The mother and daughter, who were out in the courtyard, subconsciously looked at the door of the tent when they heard the sound. When they saw that Shen Teng had not only woken up but was also walking toward them, Zhang Hui’s and Mrs. Zhang’s faces turned pale. Although they had expected that Shen Teng would wake up sooner or later after being taken care of by Du Yue and the other two, they never expected that he would wake up so quickly.
The two people who were still blaming each other just now could not care about anything else at this moment. Zhang Hui stared at Shen Teng without blinking. In the next second, tears fell from her eyes. She faced Shen Teng and knelt down without saying a word. She knelt down and inched a few steps toward Shen Teng. She raised her head and looked at Shen Teng pitifully. “Brother Teng, 1 was instructed by my mother, so I was muddle-headed for a moment! On account of the fact that we’ve been together for so long, can you forgive me just this once? 1 promise that 1 won’t be stupid again!”
Shen Teng lowered his head to look at Zhang Hui, who was crying her eyes out. A self-deprecating smile appeared on his face. “You don’t have to say anything. I already know the truth. There’s no need for you to talk about feelings with me. How can there be feelings between us?”
Zhang Hui was stunned at first, but she soon continued to sob. “Brother Teng, I won’t do it again. Really. Can you forgive me just this once? 1’11 definitely live well with you in the future!”
Shen Teng’s voice was hoarse after recovering from a serious illness. “Zhang Hui, I’ll let you go. In the future, we’ll pretend that we never knew each other. Don’t ever appear in front of me again.”
Zhang Hui looked at Shen Teng in a daze. She could not tell if she was more glad that she had survived the disaster or more shocked that Shen Teng was chasing her away..
