Chapter 536: Chapter 507: Opportunity, Complete Fusion_1

He Tiantian was slightly taken aback; she realized that Huo Yingjie today was quite different from before.

"You’ve taken care of me for some time, and you’ve lost weight," said Huo Yingjie in a gentle voice, his lips curling into a smile.

He Tiantian had not bothered about eating but asked softly, "Are you Brother Yingjie?"

"Yes!" Huo Yingjie nodded and tapped her little nose, "What’s the matter? Are you worried about me?"

"Mm-hmm!" He Tiantian nodded earnestly, "Yes, I’m very worried about you. I’m always afraid that you will be bullied, always afraid that you won’t be able to recover your previous memories. Now, tell me something that happened between us that nobody else knows."

"Still so mischievous!" Huo Yingjie chuckled, then after some thought said, "It looks like you want to eat those unripe persimmons in the yard again."

He Tiantian opened her mouth slightly, a bit surprised, but soon shook her head and said, "That doesn’t count, that doesn’t count. Later, my mom and dad found out about it. Say something else."

Huo Yingjie thought for a moment, then with a mischievous glance up and down at He Tiantian, he said, "When you were six years old, you wet the bed while sleeping in my bed, but you were too embarrassed to admit it, so you claimed it was I who wet the bed. At that time I was already nine, and my mom thought I had a problem, so she especially took me to the hospital for a check-up."

He Tiantian covered her mouth, embarrassed. This was indeed an awkward memory; at six years old, she was old enough to remember, and such a mortifying thing was unforgettable.

"I was just too sleepy," He Tiantian said softly, "and you had fed me so much watermelon, so..."

"So it’s all my fault, isn’t it?" Huo Yingjie laughed, bearing the brunt of many such stories, too numerous to count.

"It’s not all your fault, actually." He Tiantian did have a bit of a conscience, but she was more concerned about something else, "Can you tell me what state you are in now?"

Huo Yingjie chuckled, "Hehe, we were originally one person, and now our Divine Senses have integrated with each other, now becoming a complete person. Fearing your worries, I often had nightmares before, dreaming about rooftops and crumbling mountains and rivers, without thinking they were real. After integrating with the Divine Sense of Changling Supreme God, I understood that those weren’t my dreams; they were scenes I had witnessed before."

Listening to Huo Yingjie speak softly and explain this to her, He Tiantian found she was not as resistant as she had imagined and was willing to accept such a change.

As long as Huo Yingjie was back, it was alright; it was just like having an additional set of memories.

"Then why did the integration happen precisely today?" He Tiantian was rather curious, after all, several days had passed, progress at home was slow, and she had braced herself for a long struggle.

Huo Yingjie laughed, "There was no help before, but today, by a happy coincidence, I received some."

"What help? Tell me quickly, if it’s useful, I’ll frequently take you there." He Tiantian said, concerned the integration wasn’t strong enough and wishing to take Huo Yingjie to reinforce it.

"No need for that, once was enough," Huo Yingjie said, "It’s not a pleasant process; let’s not talk about it."

"Ah?" He Tiantian was surprised, but hearing Huo Yingjie say so, she did not insist further, "Oh!"

Since it was unpleasant, she didn’t want Huo Yingjie to go through it again.

However, He Tiantian’s curiosity did not disappear just because Huo Yingjie wouldn’t tell; her little mind was pondering.

Today, like always, they went fishing, which wasn’t a one- or two-time affair. The only difference was that today a child had fallen into the water, and Brother Yingjie had gone to save him.

Could it be because he saved someone?

He Tiantian focused in thought, while Huo Yingjie tapped her forehead, saying, "It’ll be cold if you don’t eat now."

"Oh!" He Tiantian was eating while pondering.

Her meal didn’t taste as delicious as usual, clearly because her mind was elsewhere.

"Alright, I’ll tell you, so you won’t wonder aimlessly," Huo Yingjie said. Although it was an uncomfortable process, if he didn’t say anything, He Tiantian would just continue to guess.

"Actually, it’s fine, I don’t need to know," He Tiantian whispered, her words not matching her true feelings, a contradiction exemplified in this moment.

She clearly wanted to know, but she said she didn’t want to know anymore.

"It’s not really a big deal," Huo Yingjie said, "When the Divine Sense split in half, we were in the fluid Hongmeng Space. Now that we are willing to fuse, it happened to coincide with jumping into the water, serendipitously resolving the most critical step. That’s how simple it is, do you understand?"

He Tiantian nodded, then shook her head.

She vaguely understood, the two Divine Senses separated in the water; and now they needed to merge in the water as well.

Today, a child happened to fall into the water, and Huo Yingjie went to save them, coincidentally completing this process.

"There’s a predestined force in the universe," Huo Yingjie said softly, "so stop racking your brain over it."

"Yes, Brother Yingjie is right," He Tiantian profoundly agreed, all those coincidences must be arranged by fate.

"Are we ready to eat now?" Huo Yingjie asked, "If we don’t eat now, the noodles will go mushy."

"Yes, I’ll eat now, I’m hungry," He Tiantian said, taking a few bites. "Since that’s the case, now that you’ve recovered, what do you plan to do?"

He Tiantian looked at Huo Yingjie with anticipation.

Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "Hurry up and eat, and after we’re done, I’ll tell you."

"Brother Yingjie, just tell me," He Tiantian pleaded, seeing hope in Huo Yingjie’s eyes. Her Brother Yingjie was always so understanding, surely he knew what she was thinking!

Ah, this girl, ever the obedient and sensible daughter in front of adults, but always such a little rascal with him.

"Don’t you want to return to Qijia Village?" Huo Yingjie said, "I’ll say that I’m still not fully recovered, and I want to go there to recuperate for a while. After all, my future father-in-law and mother-in-law didn’t call off the wedding when times were tough, I’m grateful and must visit them."

"But you’ve already recovered, right? Will Aunt Jiang agree to you going?" He Tiantian was a bit worried, given that Aunt Jiang was quite concerned about Huo Yingjie as well.

Now that Huo Yingjie had recovered, of course, she would want her son to stay home longer.

"Leave that to me, I will discuss it with my parents," Huo Yingjie said, "All you need to do is be happy and healthy every day, that’s enough, you don’t have to worry about these things."

Reassured by Huo Yingjie’s words, He Tiantian habitually nodded and said, "Then I’ll leave it to Brother Yingjie, let’s have something delicious tonight."

They were supposed to have fish for lunch today, but thinking it was rare to have fish, they decided to wait for Jiang Lifang and Huo Zhekun to come home so they could eat together.

It’s not good for the younger generation to eat alone, so He Tiantian made noodles instead.

But both she and Huo Yingjie liked eating noodles, and He Tiantian’s noodles tasted great, always praised by Huo Yingjie.

"Hmm," Huo Yingjie said, feeling joyful and content in his heart.
