Chapter 878: Chapter 847: Gourmet Food and Fine Utensils, Yu Hong Class

Remembering He Tiantian’s mention of her shoes breaking and needing to run away barefoot, risking injury to her feet,

"How’s your foot now?" asked Huo Yingjie, looking at He Tiantian’s feet from outside.

"It’s fine. After I ran a bit, a kind student on a bicycle took me to the shoe repair place by the main gate, and I got my shoes fixed," explained He Tiantian. "That student, she’s a new freshman from the Directing Department."

"Heh, that’s good, making a friend on the first day," Huo Yingjie chuckled, fond of the spirited way He Tiantian was, carefree, unlike how she was at home, a caged canary with no self and no freedom.

Upon hearing this, He Tiantian grinned, "Yeah, I really liked that straightforward girl. If possible, we could become friends."

"By the way, do you have any decent colleagues at work?" He Tiantian asked, "Oh right, has Zhou Yuanchao not yet come to report for work?"

Huo Yingjie sighed, "Yuanchao wrote to me, sent a telegram, saying his stepfather is seriously ill, and with only a sister at home, he needs to take care of things there. He might have to wait a while before he can come to work."

"Hehe, it’s a good thing you’re his boss; otherwise, Yuanchao would have a hard time at work," said He Tiantian. "They could bring his stepfather to Yanjing for treatment. The medical conditions are much better than in Mongolia."

"That’s what I replied as well, but Yuanchao responded that he will try to persuade his stepfather," said Huo Yingjie. "Wang Ying’s job transfer here to the women and children’s health clinic has been arranged; she should be able to start working in a while."

"Mmhmm, they are our old friends after all. We should help if we can," said He Tiantian. "Once Wang Ying arrives in Yanjing, I’ll ask and see if she faces any difficulties."

"Thanks, wife," Huo Yingjie responded. With Wang Ying’s arrival, it wasn’t his place to be overly concerned about his brother’s wife.

Unnoticed during their conversation, the food had arrived.

"Garlic scallops," "Five-spice fish," "Clear soup bird’s nest," along with two simple vegetable dishes.

Tan Family Cuisine stresses the beauty of food and utensils, and most dishes are served in exquisite individual portions—one for each diner—emphasizing hygiene.

"Wow, it looks and smells as terrific as it must taste," He Tiantian laughed. "Not only is the food great, but the interior decor is also elegant and simple."

"Try it," said Huo Yingjie. "You’ll like it."

After sampling a bit of everything, He Tiantian nodded, "Delicious. It seems you win again today."

"Heh, does that mean I have two favors to ask for?" Huo Yingjie said devilishly, looking at a delighted He Tiantian across the table.

The very mention of two requests suddenly made the exquisite food seem less enjoyable to He Tiantian.

Seeing He Tiantian’s expression, Huo Yingjie laughed, "Alright, I’ll let you off the hook, just one favor!"

"Mmm, you’re so kind, my lord," said He Tiantian. Whenever she wanted to please Huo Yingjie, she’d call him "my lord," her flattery so amusing it was hard to get enough of it.

Quite entertaining.

Having finished the meal, He Tiantian felt content, something her own home-cooked meals couldn’t match.

"Ah, after eating these dishes, I feel like my own cooking isn’t tasty anymore. What to do?" He Tiantian said with a wry smile, satisfied yet somehow melancholic.

"That won’t happen," Huo Yingjie reassured. "Home-cooked meals can be eaten every day, but these delicious dishes, if you have them too often, will numb your taste buds, and they won’t taste as good anymore if you have them every day."

"You’re right," He Tiantian agreed, nodding. "Just like eating out; the food tastes good, but if you do it every day, it loses its charm."

In her past life, He Tiantian had once heard an experienced chef privately say that eating three meals a day at a hotel, with their heavy oils, salts, and seasonings, wasn’t good for the body and one might not make it past forty.

Though lacking scientific evidence, it did suggest that such heavy oils, salts, and seasonings weren’t good for one’s health.

"If you like it, I’ll bring you here often," Huo Yingjie said. "Just the two of us."

"Actually, I’d also like to bring the kids and Grandma Wang here," He Tiantian excitedly said, "Oh right, and great-grandpa, great-grandma, uncle, aunt······"

Huo Yingjie had no choice but to say, "Alright, I’ll make the arrangements!"

"This time you invited me, next time I’ll invite you," He Tiantian said with a smile, "and it will be unforgettable for you too!"

Huo Yingjie’s eyes shone as he spoke, "I’m looking forward to it."

Although he liked the children, he liked their mother even more; he wanted more opportunities to be with the children’s mother.

As for He Tiantian’s frequent comments about being mushy despite being an old married couple, that was no big deal.

Huo Yingjie was enjoying himself!

When the two of them got home, it was almost nine o’clock, and the children had already gone to sleep.

After kissing the tender faces of the two little treasures, He Tiantian went to rest.

"By the way, we need to register the children tomorrow; have you taken the day off?" He Tiantian asked. If possible, she hoped to take the children to school with her husband.

"I have," said Huo Yingjie. "Tomorrow we’ll both take the children to register. Then we’ll take the kids out to play. After that, I’ll go back to work in the afternoon, and have Zhang Ning drive you home."

"Mmm, mmm, that sounds wonderful," He Tiantian laughed. The weather wasn’t as hot as before, making it a perfect time to go out and play.

He Tiantian lay down, and Huo Yingjie moved closer.

"Time to sleep, time to sleep," He Tiantian began to feign confusion to keep Huo Yingjie at a distance.

"You’re not keeping your word," complained Huo Yingjie, his tone quite aggrieved.

Knowing that Huo Yingjie wouldn’t give up until he achieved his goal, He Tiantian reluctantly turned to the side, closed her eyes, and said, "Alright, go ahead. I’ll try to satisfy you..."

"I want you to kiss my..." Huo Yingjie whispered in He Tiantian’s ear in a very suggestive tone.

"You’re so bad..." He Tiantian accused, blushing, "Don’t you think it’s... don’t you think it’s indecent..."

"I don’t think so... I just want..." Huo Yingjie brazenly replied; he had experienced this once or twice before, oh my, the sensation...

Just the thought was unbearable!

Seeing her husband’s pitiful act, He Tiantian, although knowing he was feigning, couldn’t bring herself to let him continue like that.

Alright, she’d give in.

After all, her husband hadn’t refrained from kissing her private parts...

Thus, Huo Yingjie finally got his wish.

Oh my, what a refreshing feeling!

The next morning, the family of four—proud and spirited—went together to the nearby school’s Yu Hong Class to register.

Taking along their household registration book and other documents, they filled out the registration forms and paid the tuition...

Because they arrived early, they were at the front of the line.

The teacher who saw the twins of mixed sex come to register, with parents so outstanding, immediately remembered Huo Ruihua and Huo Ruimin. She quickly registered them, distributed the textbooks, and told them to come for class at eight o’clock the next day.

Huo Ruihua and Huo Ruimin put their textbooks into their backpacks and slung them over their shoulders.

"Thank you, Teacher, goodbye," the children said as they bid farewell to the teacher after the registration.

"Goodbye, Ruihua and Ruimin," Teacher Xiao Wang said cheerfully, waving goodbye to the two students.
