Chapter 187: Chapter 187 Parting (1160+) _1

Zhou Yuanyuan was thrilled!

"Yingqi, you are really too kind, leaving Yanjing just for me. I don’t know how to thank you," Zhou Yuanyuan said gratefully. With the help of a good sister, she was sure she could succeed.

"We are good sisters, so don’t be polite. Don’t be sad, I’ll be with you in the future," Huo Yingqi said. "We’ve grown up together since we were little, our bond is way stronger than any random person’s. If I don’t help you, who will I help?"

Grandpa and grandma often praised the second brother, even the father more than once said that the second brother was smarter and had more foresight than the eldest. Of course, such a good young man had to stick close to his good sister!

Huo Yingjie thought his tough stance had made Zhou Yuanyuan come around, so he didn’t spend any more time on this matter. Unbeknownst to him, his cousin Huo Yingqi had already sold him out.

After Huo Yingjie returned this time, every elder praised him upon meeting him, admiring the Old Huo family for having two fine grandsons.

One in Yanjing and the other in the local area, although not in the same system, both were outstanding talents in their respective units.

A family with ambitious offspring is a family with hope. The Old Huo family had two, which truly made others envious. Other families might have several grandsons and granddaughters, but alas, they are good for nothing, and having more is useless!

Amid everyone’s compliments, the Huo family spent a rather peaceful Spring Festival. By the fourth day of the new year, Huo Yingjie and his parents began packing their belongings to return home.

He had already made arrangements for his work in Yanjing and saw no need to stay any longer. He wanted to hurry back to Nan City and spend some more time with Sweet Treasure while there were still a few days left.

Although Huo Yingjie wasn’t around this Spring Festival, He Tiantian was fully contented. With her parents, her newly recognized grandparents, and enough food, she felt blessed.

Such a wonderful life, He Tiantian couldn’t even dream of in her previous life.

When Huo Yingjie arrived, He Tiantian felt her life got even better. Considering that Huo Yingjie was about to return to work soon, Third Grandma Qi and Old Man Qi stayed indoors, claiming it was too cold to go out, then letting Huo Yingjie take He Tiantian out for fun.

Huo Yingjie, after having breakfast, took He Tiantian out every day for fun. Even if it was just going to the park to bask in the sun, it felt comfortable.

In secluded places, they held hands, and if the mood was right, they could even share a deep kiss, the two of them perfectly harmonious.

Although they had been to many places in Nan City, for two people in love, the scenery was just a backdrop. The wonderful feeling of being together was what mattered most.

"Sweet Treasure, I’m taking the early train tomorrow, don’t get up to see me off," Huo Yingjie said. It was too cold, and he couldn’t bear it.

He Tiantian turned to the side, smiling, "Brother Yingjie, I must go to bid you farewell tomorrow."

Such moments were precious, and she wouldn’t miss the chance to send off Huo Yingjie personally for a bit more sleep.

"But it’s really cold!" Huo Yingjie said with pity. He, of course, wanted to spend more time with his beloved, but he was afraid of He Tiantian getting cold.

He Tiantian held Huo Yingjie’s right hand with both of hers. Though she was wearing a cotton coat outside, Huo Yingjie, sensitive to touch, remembered what he saw, touched, and kissed that day—the soft whiteness of her skin.

"But I want to be with you longer!" He Tiantian said innocently, though in her heart she unintentionally wanted to tempt Huo Yingjie, to make him remember her allure.

Though she couldn’t give herself to Huo Yingjie now, she wanted him to be constantly thinking of her.

Although a physical relationship couldn’t determine their affection, it could enhance their bond. But now, her blood had to remain virginal, and until the Snake King’s cultivation reached a significant level, she couldn’t be with Huo Yingjie.

However, men, especially a young man like Huo Yingjie, who were curious about such matters, would be more infatuated if given something to think about, unable to stop longing for her.

"Well then, I also want to spend more time with you," Huo Yingjie said, and without He Tiantian noticing, he gently rubbed against her, seeking even more comfort.

"Ah?" He Tiantian exclaimed, quickly covering her mouth, her face blushing red. Although she had intentionally moved closer to Huo Yingjie, his such "indecency" still left her feeling both annoyed and angry.

But more than that, it was exhilaration!

Huo Yingjie led He Tiantian to the nearby woods, holding her tight, kissing her deeply, embracing the beautiful woman he had longed for day and night.

"I’m a bit cold!" He Tiantian said coquettishly as a gust of cold air slipped inside her clothing, causing her, who was always sensitive to cold, to shiver.

They were both young men and women. The cold and the warmth stirred up primitive emotions!

At this moment, words carried little meaning; actions were urgent; emotions were excited.

Everything was so beautiful, so desirable!

This was happening outside, and He Tiantian dared not continue.

"It’s too cold!" He Tiantian shivered, "Let’s go home!"

Huo Yingjie could only revert to his usual gentlemanly behavior, holding He Tiantian tightly and softly saying, "Grow up quickly, let’s get married."

"Okay!" He Tiantian replied crisply, which was also her lifelong dream.

It took a while for the excited Huo Yingjie to calm down.

"Let’s go, let’s go home," Huo Yingjie said, holding He Tiantian’s hand as they slowly walked back home. He had nearly lost control today.

He Tiantian felt incredibly sweet inside!

After getting home, the adults from both families gathered, chatting and laughing together. When it was time to rest, Huo Zhekun said, "Yingjie, I’ll take you to the train station tomorrow."

Huo Yingjie smiled and replied, "Dad, there’s no need."

"How can that be? Even though you don’t have much luggage, you can’t just go to the train station all by yourself," Huo Zhekun insisted, especially since it was cold and he was worried.

Jiang Lifang, seeing a hint of awkwardness on her son’s face, pinched Huo Zhekun and said, "You unromantic fool, you should let them go together tomorrow, Tiantian should go too. Why should you interfere with the couple?"

Huo Zhekun was startled, then laughed and said, "Haha, how could I forget that? It’s certainly more interesting for the future daughter-in-law to see him off than for this old man."

Huo Yingjie, feeling embarrassed, chuckled sheepishly and then slipped into his room.

Although the marriage hadn’t been officially settled this Chinese New Year, their relationship had been verbally acknowledged by both families, and they expressed their support.

They would arrange the engagement next year during the vacation.

After all, they were still young; it wasn’t appropriate yet.

Huo Yingjie’s luggage was minimal, just a duffel bag and a crossbody bag, which he quickly packed. Thinking about the day’s sensuous moments before drifting to sleep, his mind wandered to his beloved Sweet Treasure, imagining this and that...
