Chapter 635: Chapter 604: Know When to Retreat, Follow_1

Almost everyone couldn’t believe that He Tiantian was already married with a child, for she didn’t seem like it at all.

Huang Jingli said with a smile, "He Tiantian is already married, and her child is half a year old."

"Oh oh," Qin Li nodded, "Aren’t you also a ’sent-down youth’? Where is your husband, then?"

He Tiantian smiled, looked outside the classroom, and said, "Yes, but there’s no rule saying ’sent-down youth’ can’t have children! Hehe, my husband has come to pick me up. I have to go now, see you this afternoon."

After packing up her books, He Tiantian said goodbye to everyone.

Once she was out the door, Huo Yingjie took her backpack from her.

Watching the departing figures of He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie, Qin Li couldn’t help sighing, "They... they’re both so good-looking..."

Hehe, that’s true, a talented man and a beautiful woman," Huang Jingli said. "Come on, let’s go eat."

When she first saw He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie, she was also amazed.

It was a hot noon, but He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie still insisted on going home.

It was only because they had two children at home whom they constantly missed and couldn’t settle down without seeing.

After lunch, there was no time for a nap, but it didn’t matter.

Once Huo Yingjie had escorted He Tiantian back to class, many more people saw him, and a lot of classmates had to accept the fact that He Tiantian was married with children.

The single men were full of resentment, while the single women were quite relieved.

That was better, at least there weren’t so many staring eyes now.

In that era, as long as one wasn’t corrupt or evil, they wouldn’t bother a married woman, no matter how beautiful and pretty she was.

This saved He Tiantian a lot of trouble!

She wasn’t afraid of those people’s harassment, but she was afraid of Huo Yingjie getting jealous!

A jealous man, particularly wary, particularly immature.

Although he was protective of her, sometimes it annoyed He Tiantian.

However, He Tiantian tried to empathize. Similarly, if Huo Yingjie got too close with other women, she would get angry and jealous.

After all, Huo Yingjie was also a dragon among men, with a handsome appearance and a spirited demeanor.

This was the first college entrance exam after ten years, and it could be said that those who managed to get into university were hardworking and ambitious. Even if they had romantic relationships, they put studying first.

Therefore, the school had a good learning environment.

One day, when Huo Yingjie went to pick up He Tiantian, he ran into Huashan and a middle-aged man talking.

"Junior uncle, you’ve finally arrived," Huashan said excitedly. "We found in the home of Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian in Nan City a giant black turtle that had become a spirit."

Cui Heng was taken aback and frowned, "Is there really a spirit-possessed giant black turtle?"

"I didn’t believe it at first either, but after seeing that turtle, I believe it," said Huashan. "I checked the records; that turtle resembles the Rotating Turtle from ancient times!"

"Rotating Turtle?" Cui Heng’s eyes lit up, "Interesting! Then I will be staying in Nan City for a while."

"What is your identity now?" Huashan asked, this little martial uncle also turned out to be quite the impressive figure.

Whenever he needed to stay somewhere for a while, he would arrange a very respectable identity for himself, and it was a mystery to Huashan how his little martial uncle managed it!

Cui Heng chuckled and said, "You can get into university, so at my age, naturally, I’ve become a professor. I am now a professor at Nan City University Department of History and Archaeology! From now on you are my student, and you must pay attention to my lectures!"

"Mhm, yes, Martial Uncle," Huashan nodded. He didn’t dare to take it lightly; his little martial uncle had a temper, and would scold people when displeased.

Huashan certainly didn’t want to become the target of his little martial uncle’s daily tirades.

Just at that moment, Huo Yingjie nonchalantly walked over.

But he had to come; someone was eyeing the Little Rotating Turtle at his home!

"Huashan, you’re here too. This is..." Huo Yingjie pretended not to recognize Cui Heng. The man looked middle-aged, but his eyes were sharp; he could tell at a glance that the man was wearing a human skin mask.

Back in Qijia Village, Huo Yingjie wasn’t interested in dealing with them, but now that these people had followed him, he could not afford to ignore them any longer.

Thinking about the big tortoise in Huo Yingjie’s courtyard, if they wanted to see it, they would have to go to Huo Yingjie’s home. Therefore, Huashan was very enthusiastic and introduced, "Yingjie, this is Professor Cui, Cui Ying’s uncle, a professor in the Department of History and Archaeology, my teacher. He took part in the archaeological work in the hill behind Qijia Village; you must have seen each other before."

"Professor Cui, hello," Huo Yingjie greeted respectfully, very politely.

Huo Yingjie never believed arrogance was the best way to convey one’s status and aura, but rather that courtesy was more likely to reflect a person’s cultivation and presence.

Huo Yingjie’s appearance made Cui Heng narrow his eyes.

Back in Qijia Village, Cui Heng had only seen Huo Yingjie from a distance and hadn’t paid much attention, but now, standing close and face to face, he could always sense an instinctive tension.

This tension came out of nowhere.

Cui Heng immediately heightened his perception, but then he couldn’t sense anything at all, which left him somewhat frustrated and confused.

"Good to see you all. It’s such a coincidence that we met in Qijia Village, and now we can study together in Nan City—it’s truly rare," Cui Heng stated. "I hope you will get along well in the future without any discord."

"Yes, Professor Cui," Huashan responded, smiling faintly.

Huo Yingjie also nodded, saying, "Of course, as you said, it’s fate that brings us together."

"Alright, you two chat. I have other things to take care of, so I’m heading back to my office now," said Cui Heng, taking his leave. Now that he had struck up a conversation, there would be plenty of opportunities to chat in the future.

After Cui Heng left, Huashan turned to Huo Yingjie and asked, "Yingjie, are you here to pick up He Tiantian?"

"Yes," Huo Yingjie nodded. "Together?"

Huashan’s face reddened slightly as he said shyly, "Then let’s go together, I am also here to pick up Cui Ying."

Huashan really wanted to be with his junior sister Cui Ying. However, his master tasked him with a challenge, hoping he could pass the test and then marry his junior sister.

But he had yet to complete the task, and he had no idea when he could finally be with his junior sister for life.

In the eyes of others, their relationship was not close, but now, hearing Huo Yingjie’s somewhat teasing tone, Huashan guessed that Huo Yingjie knew about their relationship.

The two men traveled without speaking, arriving at the Chinese Literature Department.

Huang Jingli was quite envious and said to the two beauties nearby, "Ah, you two are so lucky—one already has a husband and a child; the other has a faithful suitor. Only I am left as a lone old maid, how pitiful."

After leaving Qijia Village and escaping the threat and control of Lin Xiaoru, Huang Jingli had become much more cheerful.

"If you’re envious, then go find someone and have a blazing romance," He Tiantian laughed. "When you get married, I will give you a big gift."
