Chapter 661: Chapter 630: Giving Gifts, Asking for Help_1

He Tiantian looked at her watch, it was already 10 o’clock at night.

"Jingli, the room is warm now and I have aired out the blankets and quilts; you can sleep here. We can talk about everything else tomorrow, now you should rest as soon as possible," He Tiantian said. "Oh, and there is hot water in the thermos in the bathroom, use the green plastic basin to wash up."

"Okay, you go to bed first, I’m going to wash up," Huang Jingli smiled and said. After being scared and anxious for so many days, she could finally have a good night’s sleep.

With this friend, she had a place to stay, and wouldn’t end up on the streets.

He Tiantian went back and quietly told Huo Yingjie about Huang Jingli’s situation.

"I didn’t expect Huang Jingli to be so pitiful," Huo Yingjie said. "Since you’re on good terms with her, you should help her out as much as you can. It’s rare for you to get along well, and she is also a smart one."

"Hmm!" He Tiantian agreed, feeling very sleepy, she cuddled up to Huo Yingjie’s waist and fell asleep.

Huang Jingli lay in the soft and warm bedding, and her whole body also became warm.

She fell asleep in a daze, still thinking that she would be good to He Tiantian in the future to thank her for her kindness.

Huang Jingli was exhausted and slept until after 11 a.m. the next morning.

"Tiantian, I am sorry for getting up so late," Huang Jingli said guiltily. It was embarrassing to oversleep when staying at someone else’s home.

"It’s okay, you were very tired," He Tiantian said with a smile. "Go and wash up, we will have lunch soon."

After Huang Jingli washed up, He Tiantian had already served the lunch. She put the children in the baby carriage, letting them drink formula, while the others ate.

After lunch, He Tiantian and Huang Jingli chatted while looking after the children.

In the afternoon, just after ten, a guest arrived at He Tiantian’s home, Wu Youliang.

Huo Yingjie was surprised and asked, "Has the school dormitory opened up?"

"It has," Wu Youliang replied. "I just came back from the school. This is our homemade sausage; I brought some for you."

Huo Yingjie didn’t stand on ceremony and took it, saying, "Thank you very much. By the way, Chief Wu, what do you think about Huang Jingli? Do you want to pursue a relationship with her?"

"Of course, I do. It’s rare to have such a good girl fancy me, and she’s also outstanding with common interests," Wu Youliang said. "That’s why I came over, to ask my sister-in-law to put in a good word for me with Huang Jingli, so I can have an opportunity to win her over."

When it came to the New Year, Wu Youliang’s heart was full of tears!

During the New Year’s, his parents insisted on setting him up on blind dates. Wu Youliang didn’t want to get involved with divorcees or country girls with whom he had nothing in common. He outright said he was seeing someone at school.

Compared to divorcees from the village or illiterate country girls, Wu Youliang’s parents would naturally prefer a university graduate as a daughter-in-law and stopped pressuring him into blind dates, but they asked Wu Youliang to bring his future fiancée to meet them within two months.

Aside from his looks, Wu Youliang was a good man and considered very fortunate.

"Chief Wu, Huang Jingli came to our house in a very distressed state yesterday; I guess she’s had a hard time at home," Huo Yingjie whispered as a hint. "This is a great opportunity, you should comfort her well. Once she talks to you about the troubles at home, I think you will have your chance."

Upon hearing Huo Yingjie’s words, Wu Youliang’s eyes lit up. Ah, fortunately, he came, and now he stumbled upon such a good opportunity.

"Huo Yingjie, you’re a real friend," Wu Youliang said happily. He was determined to seize the opportunity.

Huang Jingli heard that the school dormitory had opened, so she thought about returning to school.

"Going back to school is fine, just head back after dinner," He Tiantian said, "You don’t have to worry about it being unsafe when it’s dark, isn’t Wu Youliang there as well? It would be a great opportunity for the two of you to chat on the way!"

Huang Jingli wasn’t coy and nodded, "That makes sense, then I’ll leave in the evening. Tiantian, my clothes are too tattered, I’m going to throw them away. I’ll wear your mom’s clothes for now, and once I get back, I’ll change and return them to you."

Mom Wang Shuping had gone to the United States and probably wouldn’t wear those clothes for the rest of her life.

"Jingli, as you know, my parents have gone to Country M, and they probably won’t wear these clothes ever again; they’re just lying around at home. Since you can wear them, please do. Just don’t mind that they’re old," He Tiantian said. These were her mother Wang Shuping’s clothes, which were simple in color but well-made, and they accentuated the waist.

Huang Jingli liked the clothes she had on and nodded, "Thank you, Tiantian, I won’t stand on ceremony with you. If you ever need anything in the future, as long as I can help, just say the word, I definitely won’t refuse."

"I won’t be polite with you either," He Tiantian said, believing that having one more friend gave her one more path in life.

After dinner, Wu Youliang and Huang Jingli went back to school together.

He Tiantian also packed some candies and chocolates for Huang Jingli to take back to her dormitory.

With the start of the school year, He Tiantian got ready, sat on the back seat of Huo Yingjie’s bicycle, and the couple rode off to school together.

The children had already grown accustomed to their parents not being around; with Grandma Wang there, they were easy to take care of.

Two weeks later, Huang Jingli and Wu Youliang confirmed their romantic relationship. Wu Youliang bought some gifts to thank Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian.

One month into the school year, Wu Youliang asked for a two-day leave from the teachers, paired with a Sunday, quickly bringing Huang Jingli home to meet his parents.

"They’re moving fast!" He Tiantian exclaimed, "But is it possible they don’t know each other deeply enough?"

"Hehe, don’t worry, they are both adults, and both are intelligent people who share common experiences and a common language," Huo Yingjie said, "Also, with their characters being impeccable, one wanting to marry and the other willing to marry, it’s normal for them to move quickly!"

He Tiantian nodded, "I hope they’ll be happy."

"They should be," Huo Yingjie said, "Don’t worry about other people’s business all the time. When you’re not studying, can’t you pay some attention to your husband?"

Upon hearing this, He Tiantian’s body softened, and she leaned into Huo Yingjie’s embrace, her eyes like silk. She set aside the pen in her hand, and her small hand reached into Huo Yingjie’s clothes to explore.

"Hubby, how would you like me to care for you?" He Tiantian asked softly, pinching the soft flesh under Huo Yingjie’s arm while she spoke.

Seeing his wife’s coquettish behavior, Huo Yingjie held He Tiantian tightly and hoarsely said, "Perhaps it’s better for the husband to take care of you."

Having said that, he started his "caring" endeavor.

In their intimate moments, He Tiantian was responsible for the beginning, while Huo Yingjie took care of the middle and the end.

They had perfect harmony and affection between them.

The only discordance was that sometimes when they were at the height of their pleasure, the crying of the children not far away would disrupt them, leaving the couple in an awkward state.

Although Huo Yingjie loved his children, at moments like these, he wished he could throw the two kids out into the yard.

Those two truly knew how to ruin the mood, he thought, after all the effort of caring for them all day long, not realizing how to be considerate and show filial piety to their father; they were like debt collectors.
