Chapter 535: Chapter 506: Observation, Rescue_1

Afterward, He Tiantian observed quietly.

He Tiantian took Huo Yingjie around Nan City to familiar places, and she also noticed that during the daytime, Huo Yingjie’s behavior was less childish.

At the same time, He Tiantian noticed Huo Yingjie was gradually changing; even the Changling Supreme God wasn’t as proud and cold during the night.

This must be integration.

After integration, it ultimately becomes one person.

If they don’t integrate, having two Divine Senses, one would be either insane or schizophrenic, having split personalities or a dual personality.

One day, He Tiantian received peaches that He Jingyu had mailed to her.

He Jingyu was in charge of the Peach Orchard and could secretly set aside some peaches, sending them a box.

He Tiantian read the letter written by her parents and felt relieved.

Her mother was in good health and told her not to worry; the autumn harvest in Qijia Village went smoothly with a high grain yield, meaning the family could obtain a lot of food and money.

Not only did she receive letters from her parents but also from Qi Xiaoyan.

In her letter, Qi Xiaoyan mentioned that she had recovered and returned home, waiting for job assignment. Her wedding date had been set, in the middle of next month, and she hoped He Tiantian could come back to attend the wedding.

Niu Dajun didn’t have it easy, finally waiting for Qi Xiaoyan’s return.

He Tiantian picked out six peaches, washed them, and brought them into the room.

"Aunt Jiang, Uncle Huo, time for peaches, sent by my dad," He Tiantian said softly. These peaches were just perfect and exceptionally tasty.

Jiang Lifang had just taken Yingjie’s blood pressure, said, "Good, I can’t wait to taste them."

"How is Brother Yingjie doing?" He Tiantian asked. "Is his blood pressure normal?"

"As normal as it could possibly be," Jiang Lifang said. "Moreover, I’ve noticed recently that Yingjie’s reactions during the day are much quicker than before, and he’s saying fewer silly things."

"Hehe, yes, that’s an improvement," He Tiantian said, handing a peach to Huo Yingjie.

Huo Yingjie bit into it and his eyes lit up. He took several large bites, and before long, the fist-sized peach was gone. Then he looked at He Tiantian with longing eyes but didn’t ask for another.

He Tiantian glanced at her watch; it was already 7:30 in the evening.

If it were before, it would be the time when the Changling Supreme God was "on duty," and being very proud and self-confident, even if he liked peaches, he wouldn’t show such an expression.

In contrast, if it were the somewhat mentally slow Yingjie during the day, when he saw food he liked and finished it, he would ask for more. But now, he hadn’t said a word.

From this, He Tiantian deduced that the two Divine Senses were gradually merging.

This should be a good sign.

He Tiantian took another peach and offered it to Huo Yingjie, "Have another one!"

"Mhm," Huo Yingjie accepted it and savored carefully, as the first one was so delicious that he hadn’t taken the time to appreciate it.

Jiang Lifang and Huo Zhekun saw their son enjoying the peaches, each ate one and then stopped, leaving the rest for He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie.

Huo Yingjie liked the peaches so much that he would eat three or four a day, and the box of peaches was quickly finished.

During the days without peaches, Huo Yingjie seemed a bit gloomy, but he didn’t throw a tantrum like a child, which was a good sign.

One day, He Tiantian took Huo Yingjie for a walk near Xuanwu Lake.

The trees provided ample shade, a gentle breeze blew, and the water sparkled under the sunlight!

Walking on the lakeside path with Huo Yingjie, He Tiantian pointed to the little fish in the water and said, "Brother Yingjie, let’s go fishing up ahead."

"Okay!" Huo Yingjie nodded, his eyes showing a spark of life as he looked tenderly at He Tiantian.

Oh my, the gentle Brother Yingjie is here.

He Tiantian, delighted, found a shaded spot, took out her fishing rod and aromatic dough, and settled in a secluded place to start fishing.

While Huo Yingjie fished, He Tiantian took out the snacks she made, eating one herself and giving one to Huo Yingjie.

Today, He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie were extremely lucky, catching several palm-sized crucian carps.

"Brother Yingjie, you’re so amazing," He Tiantian praised, "Let’s go home and make braised crucian carp!"

"Alright, your favorite," Huo Yingjie said, turning his head to look at He Tiantian.

"I know you like sweet and sour, here’s a carp—let’s make West Lake vinegar fish," He Tiantian said, "It’s your favorite."

"Tiantian is so kind," Huo Yingjie said and then kissed He Tiantian’s forehead.

He Tiantian checked the time, and it was already eleven o’clock.

"Brother Yingjie, let’s go home," He Tiantian suggested, helping to carry the small fish basket.

Huo Yingjie packed up the fishing rod and took He Tiantian’s hand, "Let’s go home."

Just then, they heard cries for help behind them.

It was some distance away, about forty or fifty meters, where a child struggled in the water. A woman in her thirties cried out loudly, "Help, please...save my child..."

Since it was midday, there weren’t many people around—the only ones nearby were Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian.

Although He Tiantian could swim, she only knew the dog paddle, which wasn’t sufficient for rescue.

Huo Yingjie’s expression was conflicted—save the child, feel pity for their plight; but if not, it wasn’t his child, none of his business!

"Save my child, please...save my child..." The woman had already entered the water, where it reached up to her waist.

Just walking away didn’t seem right, did it?

He Tiantian felt torn and could only join in shouting, "Help, someone help!"

At that moment, Huo Yingjie seemed to transform, dropping his fishing rod and running towards the child. He dived into the water at the point closest to the child.

With his long legs, Huo Yingjie quickly swam over a dozen meters and rescued the child.

He Tiantian, worried on the sidelines, knew that rescuing someone was important but it had to be within one’s capabilities.

Seeing her child saved, the woman hurriedly climbed back to shore.

He Tiantian waited anxiously until they came ashore, where Huo Yingjie administered first aid, helping the child vomit the water from his stomach and breathe again, before she urged, "Don’t cry now, hurry and take the child to the hospital."

"Thank you, thank you so much," the woman said, thanking him profusely before taking her child and leaving.

With his clothes soaked through, He Tiantian stood by Huo Yingjie, hidden by the shade of the trees, and kissed his face, saying, "Brother Yingjie, you’re amazing."

"I couldn’t just stand by and do nothing," Huo Yingjie said with a smile; for him, with a strong body, rescue was easy.

"Your clothes are wet, let’s hurry home," He Tiantian said, even though he wouldn’t catch a cold, wearing wet clothes was uncomfortable.

Back home, He Tiantian hurriedly transferred the hot water drying in the yard to the bathroom for Huo Yingjie to shower.

She went to Huo Yingjie’s room to help find clothes for him.

"Brother Yingjie, I’ve left your clothes by the door, you can come out and get them, I’ll go cook," He Tiantian said with a blushing face, the sound of rushing water from inside making her mind race with embarrassing thoughts.

When Huo Yingjie came out, He Tiantian had already prepared noodle soup.

Huo Yingjie smiled, lifting a poached egg from his bowl and placing it into He Tiantian’s bowl.

"You’ve been taking care of me, and you’ve lost weight," Huo Yingjie said softly, smiling at the corners of his mouth.
