Chapter 813: Chapter 782: What does it feel like to like someone?

Huo Zhekun smiled, holding his wife’s hand.

"Yes, so we must be even better to Tiantian," Huo Zhekun said. "At the same time, I’m also thinking that it’s indeed not good for them, being young and living apart as husband and wife. But Tiantian has her shop outside and can’t follow him there. Besides, we also can’t bear to part with our grandson. Yet, Yingjie can’t be transferred back here either; it’s been a constant worry for me."

"Yes, there’s no immediate solution," Jiang Lifang said. "I just hope they won’t grow apart because of this separation."

The husband and wife began to worry about their son and daughter-in-law.

This was not a baseless concern. A nearby couple, with the husband working away and the wife caring for the child at home, initially managed fine, but eventually, problems arose. The woman’s heart changed, and she asked for a divorce, no longer wanting to be with the man.

You can’t just blame the woman; life brings about all sorts of things, and there are some tasks a woman simply can’t handle alone. Moreover, enduring the long and lonely nights is an incredible challenge.

So Jiang Lifang was afraid!

Whether it’s the son or the daughter-in-law who has a change of heart, it would be a devastating blow to the family.

"Let’s think of a solution after some time," Huo Zhekun said, as a father who always had high hopes for Yingjie, he couldn’t let his son’s romantic prospects hinder his son’s future.

If He Tiantian knew about her in-laws’ worries, she would undoubtedly be both amused and teary.

As long as Huo Yingjie doesn’t betray her, no matter what, she will stay with him and will never think of leaving or seeking another relationship.

If her heart was to wander, it would have done so long ago; there would be no need to wait until now to cheat!

He Tiantian’s life had returned to its peaceful routine: teaching, after school, heading to the shop, and going home.

One day, Zhang Mengmeng was waiting on Tiantian’s inevitable route, looking down, occasionally glancing up.

As He Tiantian pushed her bicycle along the road, Zhang Mengmeng waved to her.

"Zhang Mengmeng, what’s the matter?" He Tiantian got off and stopped, checking the time; she still had half an hour before work. "Don’t you have to work today?"

Zhang Mengmeng nodded and said, "Teacher He, I’m heading there shortly."

"Oh, if it’s something urgent, say it quickly so you won’t be late for work and get your wages docked," He Tiantian said with a smile, also wanting to head to the shop early to pick up some items and get home sooner.

Zhang Mengmeng hesitated, her face flushed, faltering in speech.

"What’s going on?" He Tiantian asked in surprise, since Zhang Mengmeng was usually very outgoing. What was happening today?

She seemed unable to speak?

Zhang Mengmeng mustered the courage, raised her head to look at He Tiantian, and asked, "Teacher He... could you tell me what it feels like to like someone?"

After saying this, Zhang Mengmeng seemed to lose all her courage, quickly lowering her head, not daring to see He Tiantian’s reaction.

"Ah?" He Tiantian was surprised but then laughed, "Hehe, so it’s about this! You’re an adult now; it’s fine to have someone you like."

"Aren’t you disappointed, Teacher He?" Zhang Mengmeng asked cautiously. "I didn’t study well during the school term, and I might have fallen for someone, but I’m not sure, so I wanted to ask Teacher He."

"Hehe!" He Tiantian chuckled. "You’ve been doing great with your grades recently. Your teacher was praising you just the other day. Besides, as an adult, you can take responsibility for your actions, so it’s normal to like someone. Why would I be disappointed? As for the feeling of liking someone, it’s when they often come to mind, when you haven’t seen them for a long time and you want to, or when your heart races and your face flushes warm on seeing them... umm, let me think, oh right, it’s a bit like your heartstrings are being tugged, and you feel no one else compares to them..."

As He Tiantian spoke, Zhang Mengmeng’s eyes shone brightly—everything Teacher He described, she seemed to experience.

Every day, she wished to see him, and only after seeing him could she peacefully fall asleep at night.

If one day that person didn’t show up, she would keep guessing, was he too busy? Too tired? Had something happened?

Not seeing him for several days in a row, she would become anxious and could hardly sleep.

As soon as that person appeared, her heartbeat would involuntarily quicken, her face would flush with heat, and she would think he was the best man in the world.

If that person was in a good mood and smiled at her, she would feel like the air around her was colored.

"So, Teacher He, I might have fallen for a man," Zhang Mengmeng said softly. Her parents were far away and couldn’t help her, and she was too embarrassed to talk to her classmates about it, so she thought of Teacher He.

He Tiantian smiled and said, "Firstly, is that person of good character? If his character is not good, no matter how excellent he is, you shouldn’t want him. Secondly, does that man like you? If he likes you too, you can give it a try. Thirdly, I want to tell you that love is not everything in life. Just liking someone doesn’t mean you can end up together in the future. No matter what, you must protect yourself and cherish yourself."

Zhang Mengmeng nodded and said, "I’ve got it."

Seeing that Zhang Mengmeng wasn’t prepared to reveal who it was, He Tiantian didn’t ask. It was Zhang Mengmeng’s privacy, and as a teacher, she had done her duty.

"Okay, you should go to work then," He Tiantian said. "We’re heading the same way; I’m also headed to the shop."

"Mhm," Zhang Mengmeng smiled. "Teacher He, how did you and your husband come together? Do you like him? Love him?"

"Uh..." Faced with such a question from her own student, He Tiantian was a little embarrassed, but she couldn’t not answer when faced with Zhang Mengmeng’s clear, inquisitive eyes.

He Tiantian thought for a moment, organized her thoughts, and slowly said, "My husband and I grew up together from a young age, as childhood sweethearts. We liked each other, loved each other, and naturally came together."

Zhang Mengmeng was envious. Teacher He was beautiful, came from a good family, was intelligent, and knew how to make money, and the man who won Teacher He’s heart was even a distinguished young master.

The staff in the shop often gossiped in private about the perfect match of talent and beauty.

In Zhang Mengmeng’s eyes, it was a fairy tale.

"You’re really lucky," Zhang Mengmeng said enviously, to meet the right person at the right time in the right place.

Lucky?

He Tiantian smiled.

Maybe so!

Being reborn was lucky!

Having Snake King’s help was lucky!

Being able to trust each other and reunite was lucky!

"Yes, stay calm and composed in every situation, and don’t forget your original intentions; you too can find happiness," He Tiantian said, encouraging Zhang Mengmeng.

Zhang Mengmeng nodded, not quite understanding, but still said, "I’ve noted that down, Teacher He. I’m off to work now, goodbye Teacher He."

After Zhang Mengmeng went to change into her work clothes, He Tiantian headed to the office.

Thinking about Zhang Mengmeng’s manner, He Tiantian felt that youth was wonderful!

Perhaps because of the memories from her past life, and the hardships of this one, He Tiantian no longer had much of an impression of bittersweet love.

Now, there was only a deep longing.
