Chapter 905: Chapter 874: Proctoring

"Okay!" Old Master Huo nodded. "Now that you understand, I won’t say anymore. That old master called me over yesterday and personally spoke about your matter, telling you not to worry about any aftermath. There will be people to protect you near your home or when you and Tiantian go out. Zhou Yuanchao will also arrange two bodyguards there."

Huo Yingjie raised his eyebrows, knowing such a result would come.

"Grandfather, I will work even harder to develop better quality materials," Huo Yingjie said. "This is my specialty and my strength. There are only materials you can’t think of; there are none that I can’t create."

Others might not know, but ever since Huo Yingjie arrived in Yanjing, the materials he developed based on his unit’s requirements have been used in major projects and have made significant impacts, achieving major breakthroughs.

Those were indeed critical national assets!

With these, even if there’s no war, they can deter foreign forces.

"Hmm, we all have high hopes for you, go ahead and do it," Old Master Huo said. "The Huo Family will be your support."

Huo Yingjie nodded, remembering his grandfather’s words.

The time of keeping a low profile had passed, and he planned to make a high-profile impact, starting his remarkable journey of struggle.

That day, Old Master Huo and Old Madam Huo left and did not stay.

By staying, they would not be able to help but would need Tiantian to take care of them, so they decided not to add to the chaos.

At night, He Tiantian was busy like a little bee, bustling about but always wearing a smile.

Having neglected the kids these past few days, He Tiantian tried to make it up to them by playing games, singing songs, telling stories....

Finally, at nine-thirty, the children couldn’t stay awake any longer and fell asleep one after another.

He Tiantian brought over a glass of water and asked, "Brother Yingjie, do you want some water?"

"No, thanks," Huo Yingjie declined, lest he drink too much and need to get up at night, disturbing his wife’s rest.

He Tiantian climbed into bed and burrowed into the warm blankets.

"Little heater," He Tiantian complimented. "With Brother Yingjie here, the blanket is always warm."

Huo Yingjie couldn’t help but laugh softly, leaning close to He Tiantian’s ear and whispering, "My love, it’s just a leg fracture, that ’area’ isn’t broken...."

Tonight, it seemed he wouldn’t rest until he had an answer.

He Tiantian gave a wry smile and said, "Just wait... just wait until I finish my exam and grade the papers!"

"Ah?" Huo Yingjie’s tone was plaintive. "That long?"

"When the time comes, you can decide how it goes!" He Tiantian said. "That should be okay, right?"

Huo Yingjie thought for a moment, seemingly imagining delightful things, and chuckled, saying, "Okay, I’ll listen to my wife."

"Can we go to sleep now?" He Tiantian said. "Let’s lie down first, then I’ll turn off the light."

"Okay!" Huo Yingjie obediently lay down and waited for He Tiantian to turn off the light. He couldn’t cuddle sideways with He Tiantian, so he just held her hand the entire time.

He Tiantian was really exhausted during this period and soon fell asleep.

The next day was the day of the exam.

He Tiantian brought the exam papers and went to the lecture hall, calling over Teacher Xiao Chen to help supervise the exam.

After all, there were too many students for He Tiantian to watch over alone.

Before distributing the papers, He Tiantian addressed everyone, "As long as you’ve listened attentively during class, you should be able to pass, so don’t worry. Before the exam starts, I want to emphasize once again, no cheating. If I catch anyone, it’s an automatic zero and it will be recorded in your file, tarnishing your record for life."

He Tiantian was usually very amiable, but when it came to matters of principle, she never compromised or let things slide.

Those with any ulterior motives didn’t dare to proceed with them.

He Tiantian distributed the exam papers, and everyone began to write.

He Tiantian’s gaze swept over the crowd like radar, instantly catching anyone hoping to cheat and meeting them with her glare.

Teacher Xiao Chen was seeing this stern side of He Tiantian for the first time.

Normally in the office, Teacher He was chatty and jocular and maintained good relationships with everyone.

No wonder Teacher He could educate such outstanding students!

After two class periods, He Tiantian collected the papers.

Once in the office, He Tiantian began to grade the papers diligently, even neglecting the usual snack time.

Teacher Xiao Chen took out some walnuts and offered them, saying, "Teacher He, have some walnuts to refresh your mind. Grading papers is exhausting."

He Tiantian looked up, stretched her limbs, and accepted the walnuts from Teacher Xiao Chen.

"Thanks!" He Tiantian expressed her gratitude and then squeezed hard, cracking the shells of the three walnuts in her hand.

Holding a small tool, Teacher Xiao Chen let He Tiantian squeeze the walnuts.

Seeing He Tiantian’s strength, he exclaimed in surprise, "Teacher He, you can actually crack walnut shells with your bare hands!"

"Hehe!" He Tiantian gave an embarrassed laugh. "I eat a lot, so I’m strong!"

"But Teacher Da Chen also eats quite a bit, and he’s a man, yet he can’t squeeze them!" Teacher Xiao Chen asked again, just as Teachers Liu and Da Chen approached, "Teacher Da Chen, can you crack walnuts with your bare hands?"

"So hard, who could squeeze those?" Teacher Da Chen had failed that morning and worried that Teacher Xiao Chen would challenge him again. If he couldn’t crack them, it would be embarrassing.

Pointing at He Tiantian, Teacher Xiao Chen said, "Teacher He can, look in her hand."

Not minding, He Tiantian continued eating the walnuts. While laughing, she said, "Oh, when I was fifteen, I went to the countryside as a sent-down youth. I had to work every day. Without strength, I couldn’t finish tasks and would go hungry."

"Ah?" Teacher Liu was astounded. "Teacher He, you really can crack them?"

He Tiantian smiled as she picked up a few more walnuts and said, "Then, let me borrow flowers to offer Buddha and use Teacher Xiao Chen’s walnuts to treat everyone here to walnuts!"

Then she cracked them and the shells broke...

All the walnuts on Teacher Xiao Chen’s desk were cracked open.

"Teacher He, have you practiced internal arts?" asked Teacher Da Chen, who had been captivated by martial arts novels recently.

"Yes, Teacher He, you are really amazing," Teacher Liu agreed, "You’re the strongest person I’ve ever met."
