Chapter 625: Chapter 594: Smooth, Walking out of the Gloom_1

He Tiantian did as the proctor instructed, one by one, and then flipped through the exam paper. Most of the questions were of types she had encountered before.

They weren’t difficult, and with patience, carefulness, and a serious approach to the exam, she was certain she could pass.

He Tiantian methodically began to work on the questions. For the first session, Chinese, she could write down the answers for most of the questions in one go. Only a small portion of difficult questions required thought, but even these couldn’t stump He Tiantian, who had nearly worn out her high school Chinese textbooks.

After writing the last character, He Tiantian reviewed her paper from beginning to end, then corrected two mistakes.

He Tiantian looked at the watch on her wrist; she still had half an hour left.

The good student, He Tiantian, didn’t want to turn in her paper early and disturb the other examinees, so she kept her head down and continued to check her own exam paper.

It wasn’t until the proctor reminded the students one more time to check their names, whether the test went well, ID numbers, and so on, that they began to collect the papers.

He Tiantian’s paper lay on the desk, and the teacher collected it in turn.

Leaving the exam hall, some were ecstatic, while others appeared dejected.

He Tiantian, with a smile on her face, walked toward Huo Yingjie waiting under the tree at the entrance.

Huo Yingjie had already been waiting for her there.

"Let’s go, let’s go home," He Tiantian, anxious to check answers with Huo Yingjie, just wanted to rush home as her breasts felt engorged and her milk was about to leak out.

At the same time, she was also worried that her little one might be crying at home.

Huo Yingjie cycled, with He Tiantian on board, and the couple went home together!

Back at home, the baby was sleeping and hadn’t cried.

"How did the exam go?" Jiang Lifang, who was cooking, couldn’t help but ask as she saw He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie return.

Huo Yingjie shrugged his shoulders, "No problem at all. And you?"

"I’m also fine, I did well on the test, I could do all of it." He Tiantian said, "Tonight we can compare our answers and see how many points we can get."

"Sure!" Huo Yingjie nodded.

He Tiantian went into the house and quickly took out the breast pump, wiped her chest, and began to pump milk.

There was another exam in the afternoon, math.

She guessed she wouldn’t have time to feed the baby again.

After lunch, feeling a bit of milk coming in, He Tiantian fed the baby before leaving with Huo Yingjie for the exam hall.

The math exam in the afternoon was easier than she had imagined, and He Tiantian was overjoyed!

However, she didn’t dare to be arrogant or careless; after calming down, she conscientiously answered the questions.

Everything went smoothly, and even upon reviewing, He Tiantian could not find any mistakes.

Even if there were mistakes, it was already too late for He Tiantian to notice them now.

In the evening when they returned, the couple compared their answers, and He Tiantian discovered that she had indeed made a few mistakes, but the rest were good, and she should be able to get into Nan City University.

For the remaining exams, He Tiantian faced them seriously and did well, and although she didn’t do as well as Huo Yingjie, her scores were definitely good.

After the college entrance examination ended, He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie looked at each other and smiled, savoring all the different feelings.

It wasn’t easy!

Two days after He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie finished their exams, guests came to their house!

Zhou Yuanchao arrived, accompanied by Chief Engineer Sun and Aunt Li.

Huo Yingjie was shocked when he received the telegram.

It was said that Chief Engineer Sun had always been at the Nan City Research Institute, where his freedom to move around was limited. How could he now come to Nan City?

Although Huo Yingjie was worried, he was also looking forward to it.

He personally went to the train station, and even had his father’s secretary drive there to pick them up.

"Boss, I think you’ve forgotten about your old life in the excitement," Zhou Yuanchao lamented. "I’ve been waiting for you at the institute, and you never showed up!"

Hearing this, Huo Yingjie stepped back two paces, moving closer to Chief Engineer Sun and Aunt Li, and said with a bit of disdain, "For a grown man to say such a thing, aren’t you afraid people will get the wrong idea?"

"Haha!" Aunt Li laughed heartily. "You two are still such jokers. Yingjie, I heard you’re married now?"

Huo Yingjie nodded and said, "Yes, Aunt Li. Not only am I married, I even have a son and daughter now, twins of mixed sex!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yuanchao’s eyes immediately reddened.

"Boss, look, I’m a year older than you and I’m still not married, yet you’ve gone ahead of me. Don’t forget about me when you find yourself a wife—introduce me to someone!" Zhou Yuanchao complained. He too wanted to get married soon, but he just couldn’t find the right one. This had held him up.

"Aunt Li, no one’s accepted your introductions?" Huo Yingjie laughed, somewhat incredulous.

"Hmph!" Aunt Li said annoyed. "I’ve introduced him to so many women, and he finds fault with all of them. He says he might not find someone as pretty as your wife, but he can’t settle for someone too far off either. I came here this time to see just how beautiful your wife is, and why this young man keeps making comparisons."

Huo Yingjie glared at Zhou Yuanchao and said with ill intent, "Heh, if you’re looking for a woman more beautiful than my wife, you’re probably destined to stay single for life!"

"Boss, how can you curse me like that?" Zhou Yuanchao retorted angrily. "That’s really not what brothers do."

"Heh heh!" Chief Engineer Sun watched the two proud subordinates fooling around and smiled, "We rarely get a holiday, and with permission from above, we decided to come take a look around Nan City."

Chief Engineer Sun hadn’t left the Nan City Weapons Research Institute for ten years.

Now that he was out, the buildings looked almost the same as before, but from the smiles and expressions of the people, he could tell something was different.

Huaxia Country should also move past that period of shadows!

"Great, I just finished my exams. I’ll show you around Nan City," Huo Yingjie said with a smile. He had received quite a bit of care from the two elders in the past, and he wanted to take good care of them this time.

Before long, they arrived home.

He Tiantian was letting Little Rotating Turtle help watch the kids while she cooked. A pot of chicken soup was stewing on the stove, rice was cooking, and He Tiantian was stir-frying vegetables.

Although Little Rotating Turtle couldn’t transform into a human form now, it could take on the appearance of a normal turtle, the size of a washbasin. It looked no different from an ordinary turtle on the outside, but those two green bean-sized eyes were constantly rotating slyly!

As Zhou Yuanchao walked in, he saw a turtle beside the two cribs.

"Boss, why do you have such a big turtle at home?" Zhou Yuanchao said. "It’s a great tonic, we should stew it in soup to drink tonight!"

A turtle?

You’re the big turtle!

Little Rotating Turtle cursed inwardly. It was a Rotating Turtle, okay?

This person was either blind or unenlightened!

And they wanted to stew it for soup; it would kill him if he drank it!

"Enough, don’t talk nonsense. That’s a turtle that’s over a hundred years old. Be careful you don’t offend it, or it will give you trouble," Huo Yingjie said with a smile, warning him that Little Rotating Turtle was quite touchy.

Chief Engineer Sun was curious and took a closer look before nodding, "This is not an ordinary turtle! As for what species it is, I couldn’t say. But it’s indeed very old. Such animals have intelligence, so Yuanchao, you’d better say less."
