Chapter 612: Chapter 581: Borrowing Notes and Dying in a Car Accident_1

I knew it wouldn’t be so easy!

Li Yuanyuan, upon hearing He Tiantian’s reluctance to help, was not disheartened and continued, "Tiantian, I’m in Goat Gully, way too far to come over. Could you lend me some materials, please? I’m begging you, Tiantian, please save me!"

After finishing her plea, Li Yuanyuan actually knelt on the ground.

He Tiantian stepped back two paces while Wang Shuping, fearing her daughter might fall, quickly went to support her. Once her daughter was steady, she turned to help Li Yuanyuan up, saying, "Get up quickly, what is this kneeling about? It’s as if we are bullying you."

"Please, Tiantian, lend me the books and materials. I found out that someone in your family sent you materials," Zhou Yuanyuan said, her pleading voice now more desperate than before.

Upon seeing this, Wang Shuping intervened, "Those materials were sent to my son-in-law. If you really want to study, I’ll just give you the notes."

He Tiantian didn’t want to lend them, but Wang Shuping glared at her.

"Thank you, thank you, aunty. Notes are fine too; I’ve studied them before. I can look at the notes to jog my memory, maybe then I’ll understand," Li Yuanyuan said, her tears turning into smiles, "You really are good people, my benefactors."

Hearing this, He Tiantian frowned deeply. What had Li Yuanyuan been through to become like this!

He Tiantian took out a few of her organized notebooks and said, "These are my notes, all here. I hope they help you."

Li Yuanyuan was thrilled, taking the thick notebooks and nodding repeatedly, "Thank you, thank you, they will definitely be helpful."

After flipping through them casually, Li Yuanyuan assured herself they were high school notes.

"Once I get into college, I will definitely thank you," Li Yuanyuan said excitedly, "I’m in a hurry, so I won’t say much more! I’ll take my leave now."

After finishing, Li Yuanyuan ran away hastily as if worrying He Tiantian might change her mind.

Only after Li Yuanyuan had left did He Tiantian ask, "Mom, I’m not close to Li Yuanyuan, why did you make me lend her my notes?"

Wang Shuping thought for a moment and said with a wry smile, "She reminds me of your past life..."

That sentence left He Tiantian dumbfounded.

He Tiantian understood the desperation and hope in Li Yuanyuan’s eyes, much like her own when she heard she could take the college entrance exam, like grasping at a lifeline.

"Ah, they’re both pitiable," He Tiantian sighed, "I hope she gets into college."

"Even if she gets into college, I expect there will be many troubles," Wang Shuping said, "It seems that Li Yuanyuan is already married. She might even be having children already, in which case, she will face even more troubles."

He Tiantian gave a bitter smile and said, "Yes, it’s quite sad!"

"Alright, you lent her the notebooks, that’s helping her enough. We can’t do much more," Wang Shuping explained, "Another reason is that Li Yuanyuan sees getting into college as her only way out. If we don’t lend them to her, we’re taking away her only hope, and then she’ll project all her life’s frustration on us. So why bother?"

"I’ll remember that, mom," He Tiantian nodded, almost inadvertently making another enemy.

The matter of Li Yuanyuan brought back memories for He Tiantian. Alone in the room, she was restless.

Huo Yingjie poured a cup of warm water and handed it to He Tiantian, "Drink some water!"

He Tiantian took it and smiled, "Thank you!"

"You’ve been uneasy. Are you thinking about your past life?" Huo Yingjie asked, gently embracing He Tiantian’s shoulders.

"Yes, I remember," He Tiantian said, "Looking back, it all seems so ludicrous and tragic!"

"It’s all in the past," Huo Yingjie said, "You don’t have to blame yourself. If anyone is to blame, it’s me for not protecting you well enough."

He Tiantian smiled with tears in her eyes, shook her head, and said, "I have never blamed you! You have always been so good. It is I who was not good."

"Alright, it’s all in the past, don’t think about it anymore," Huo Yingjie said, "Let’s live well from now on!"

"Yes, I won’t think about it anymore." He Tiantian nestled in Huo Yingjie’s arms, soaking up the warmth from his body.

After a while, as if something occurred to He Tiantian, she hurriedly lifted her head from Huo Yingjie’s arms and asked, "I have memories of my past life, and so do you. Can you tell me, did you grieve after I died?"

Huo Yingjie gave a wry smile, gently caressing He Tiantian’s soft hair, and spoke softly, "Grieve I did, to the point of wanting to die. Especially since you passed away without me seeing you for the last time, I didn’t know what to do at first. Later, my assistant reminded me, and I took the recorder out of your bag, only then did I learn the truth!"

"What?" He Tiantian was taken aback, "You knew everything? Did you avenge me?"

"I knew," Huo Yingjie said with a bitter smile, "Avenged, yes, Qi Jianguo and his family deserved to die!"

"They’re all dead?" He Tiantian was surprised and skeptical, although she was not saddened, she still found it somewhat unbelievable.

"Yes, they’re all dead. After you died, they actually went on a trip together and unfortunately had a car accident," Huo Yingjie said, "Do you know how much pain I was in when I heard those recordings? I thought you were living happily. I went to see you but didn’t dare to disturb your life and left just like that. I only found out at the end that it was a trap set by Qi Jianguo, and I fell for it like a fool. Later I realized that Qi Jianguo could succeed because he caught onto our common weakness; neither of us had the courage to face each other and confirm if the other had really given up. Too weak, too idealistic, and that’s why our tragedy happened. Even after I gained power and wealth, what could I do?"

He Tiantian’s face was covered in tears upon hearing Huo Yingjie’s words.

Huo Yingjie was right; they were weak, they lacked courage.

"I was wrong. So in this third life, I won’t let you get hurt again," Huo Yingjie said, "Trust me!"

He Tiantian nodded emphatically, choking back tears, "I trust you, even if you deceive me, I still trust you."

"Silly girl, how could I ever deceive you!" Huo Yingjie said, "We’ve been through so much to get to where we are now. It hasn’t been easy. We still have a long way to go; we might face difficulties, we might have misunderstandings, but even if we get angry, always remember that we love each other, that we are loyal to each other."

"Yes!" He Tiantian nodded, "I’ll remember!"

Once He Tiantian calmed her emotions, she quietly snuggled into Huo Yingjie’s arms and fell into a peaceful sleep.

It was an unprecedented restful sleep, her body and mind completely relaxed, exceedingly comfortable.

Huo Yingjie gently placed his wife on the bed, took off her shoes, covered her with a blanket, sat by her side, and gazed at He Tiantian’s sleeping face as if he could never get enough.
