Chapter 644: Chapter 613: Basketball Game, Her Man_1

On the way, Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "There’s a basketball game this weekend, will you come and watch me play?"

He Tiantian nodded and replied, "Sure, if the weather is nice that day, I’ll bring the kids along to watch you."

In the past, He Tiantian dared not bring children to school, given that they were too young to control their bladders and bowels, and dealing with that in front of classmates seemed somewhat inappropriate.

Fortunately, a few days ago she received the diapers her mother had sent from the United States.

Finally, she could take the baby out without having to change cloth diapers all the time, and it could avoid some embarrassment.

With the current weather, diapers were most suitable, unlike in summer when they might cause red spots or prickly heat.

"That’s great!" Huo Yingjie was very pleased. At school, one must not skip any activities.

After all, humans are social animals—if one does not fit in, they will be isolated by others, and even if one has the best grades, others will not be convinced.

Therefore, Huo Yingjie changed the way he interacted.

Rather than being disliked by others, it was better to be at the top, disliking others.

This was Huo Yingjie’s thought process and approach to handling matters.

If it had been the Huo Yingjie of the past, perhaps he would have been more tactful.

If it had been the former Changling Supreme God, he would have simply ignored others, maintaining his distant and unapproachable aura.

No matter which approach, both had their flaws.

After merging the two, by adopting the strengths of both divine senses, he had become the complete individual he was now. Hence, Huo Yingjie could always think ahead on all matters, big and small, and his methods of handling them were very thorough.

He was neither extreme nor obstinate.

Soon the weekend arrived and, although it was winter, there was no wind and the sun came out warm and inviting—a perfect day for an outing.

He Tiantian put the disposable diapers on the boys and dressed them in little cotton pants and cotton jackets made by Grandma Wang, with cute children’s outfits over them.

Now, caring for them was not as strict as before, so the boys’ clothing at most attracted attention, but did not invite criticism.

As for He Tiantian, she wore a high-necked sweater under an orange cashmere coat with double-breasted fastenings and a belt, paired with black straight-leg pants and black mid-heel leather shoes.

Preparing for an outing was not easy; He Tiantian carried a large bag containing the children’s bottles and milk powder, several diapers, a roll of toilet paper, towels, a thermos flask...

Seeing He Tiantian take so much gear just for one outing, Grandma Wang couldn’t help but laugh and say, "Tiantian, don’t you find it tiring to carry all this stuff?"

"Not tiring, Grandma Wang," said He Tiantian. "Although the kids are young, they need to get out often. Besides, with Brother Yingjie there, the two of us can take care of the children just fine."

Having prepared everything, Huo Yingjie borrowed a tricycle and directly lifted the double-seat stroller onto it.

The two chubby babies sat inside.

Since it was winter, He Tiantian had knitted hats and scarves for her son and daughter.

The daughter’s hat and scarf were red, while the son’s were blue.

A loosely hanging large pom-pom on the round berets bobbed with the movement of their little heads, incredibly cute.

Huo Yingjie pedaled the tricycle while He Tiantian sat on the side, holding the two children.

Ah, He Tiantian eagerly wished for a car—it would make traveling much more convenient.

Although her father-in-law also had a car, it was a company car, not suitable for frequent personal use.

When they arrived at the school gate, Huo Yingjie stored the tricycle properly and, together with He Tiantian, carried the stroller into the school.

Today’s game was between the Chemistry and Physics departments, known for an abundance of male students and thus a famous basketball strength throughout the school.

Because they were a strong team, they attracted a lot of people to watch the basketball game.

"Huo Yingjie, you’ve arrived. Hurry up and get ready, the game is about to start." Wu Youliang, the head of the chemistry department, greeted Huo Yingjie and chuckled when he saw He Tiantian by Huo Yingjie’s side, "Sister-in-law and the kids have also come to watch. Huo Yingjie, you’ll have to work extra hard!"

"Of course." Huo Yingjie replied with a proud smile, usually giving fifty percent effort, today he would give seventy.

If he gave a hundred percent, the physics department would lose embarrassingly, making it awkward for future encounters.

Always leave some leeway, so you can face others in the future.

"Huo Yingjie, then you go get ready. I’ll take your sister-in-law and the kids over there and find them a good spot," said Wu Youliang, "Big sister, follow me this way..."

"Wu Youliang, I’ll leave it to you," Huo Yingjie laughed, "Tiantian, I’m headed over. Take good care of the kids and watch the game closely."

"Okay!" He Tiantian replied with a beaming smile, adoring her lively and spirited Brother Yingjie.

Her Brother Yingjie was meant to be outstanding, a true leader!

Wu Youliang, with his capability to become class leader, led He Tiantian to the front row near the podium. There were benches, where the big sister could sit and watch the game while taking care of the children.

Today’s game drew a huge crowd, with the basketball court surrounded three layers deep, inside and out.

As the referee’s whistle blew, the game began.

Huo Yingjie leapt up, slapped the basketball, and his teammate got it. As the opposing players chased after the teammate with the ball, that teammate passed the ball back to Huo Yingjie.

Standing near the opponents’ backboard, Huo Yingjie took aim at the basket just as the other players realized and lunged at him, but he already shot and scored.

After the basket, the referee’s whistle sounded, confirming the score.

"Chemistry department, two points!"

The game continued.

"Physics department, three points!"

"Chemistry department, three points!"

"Chemistry department, three points!"

Thanks to Huo Yingjie purposefully going easy, the game was not only intense but also highly entertaining to watch.

The spectators around the court applauded excitedly for cleverly executed shots.

The two children, not the least bit shy, watched the ball on the court with wide eyes.

In their little heads, they did not understand why so many people were chasing after a round object.

Nor did they understand why there was applause.

However, even though they did not understand why people clapped, they could clap too.

So, when they saw others clapping, they too joined in with their chubby, gloved little paws and occasionally uttered "ah ah" sounds.

He Tiantian alternated between watching the children and focusing on Huo Yingjie on the basketball court.

Huo Yingjie, playing in his white shirt, was covered in sweat, steam faintly rising from his head, his complexion slightly flushed. Half of the chemistry department’s points were scored by him.

The vigorous Huo Yingjie was so handsome.

He Tiantian’s heart, grown old with girlish sentiments, was rekindled as she gazed affectionately at the lively Huo Yingjie.

This was her Brother Yingjie!

This was her man!

He Tiantian, focused on Huo Yingjie in the center of the court, did not notice that not far away was Wang Bing also present.
