"Do you know Pinyin?" Professor Wang asked.

He Tiantian nodded and said, "Yes!"

"Yes!" Professor Wang nodded. "Actually, English, like Chinese Pinyin, has rules. Once you find a few rules, you can learn words based on phonetics. Because it's a quick learning method, learning phonetics first will be twice as effective..."

Professor Wang opened the dictionary and explained the phonetic symbols of words to He Tiantian, outlining several ways to categorize and memorize them. After Professor Wang's explanation, He Tiantian gained a basic understanding and was able to pronounce unfamiliar words using the methods he taught.

When learning phonetics, Professor Wang's pronunciation is very accurate.

He Tiantian can learn authentic and native English by studying with Professor Wang.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and Professor Wang's throat was dry from talking.

He Tiantian quickly got up to pour some chrysanthemum honey water for Professor Wang, and handed it to him, saying, "Have some tea, Professor Wang, thank you for your hard work."

"Hehe, it's been a long time since I've lectured, and once I start, I can't stop," Professor Wang said with a sigh after taking a sip of water. "That's all for this morning. This afternoon, follow what I've taught and copy one of the articles in the book. Write down the phonetic symbols for all the words in your notebook, and then read them aloud. If you encounter any words you don't know or are unsure about, make a mark and come to ask me tomorrow morning. I'll correct you."

"Thank you, Professor Wang," He Tiantian replied, and went back to do her homework in the afternoon.

It was almost lunchtime, so Old Man Qi invited them to eat there.

He Tiantian stayed behind and busied herself cooking with Professor Wang, while Zhang Aijun stood guard outside. Li Yunzhong followed He Tiantian to wash vegetables and cook.

When Old Man Qi heard that there were four more people outside, he invited them in to eat as well.

When they heard that the person on the other side was the legendary hero, they were all extremely excited.

After dinner, He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie stayed for a while longer before leaving.

With so many people following her around, He Tiantian could only get closer to Huo Yingjie, and she was even too embarrassed to hold hands with him.

When they got home, He Tiantian wanted to study, but she didn't recognize most of the words, so she started looking them up in the dictionary one by one.

Huo Yingjie poured a glass of hawthorn and honey water, handed it to He Tiantian, and said, "Have some, it will help with digestion!"

I ate a lot of meat today, so drinking some hawthorn water is the best way to aid digestion.

After He Tiantian finished drinking, she continued reading, but she was too embarrassed to read it aloud in front of Huo Yingjie, worried that she might misread it and Huo Yingjie would laugh at her.

"How am I supposed to know you've mispronounced it if you don't read it aloud?" Huo Yingjie asked with a muffled laugh, stubbornly insisting on saving face at all costs.

"Then... then I misread it, you can't laugh at me." He Tiantian pouted and said, giving Huo Yingjie a heads-up first.

If Huo Yingjie continues to make fun of her, He Tiantian will get angry.

When she gets angry, even she herself is afraid!

"I won't laugh at you," Huo Yingjie said. "Read it aloud. If there are any mistakes, I'll correct them for you..."

“Five vowels, a, e, i, o, u…” He Tiantian read them carefully, her memory was excellent, and she read them correctly.

Huo Yingjie watched He Tiantian's rosy lips move, and felt a tickle in his heart.

"What should we say first?" Huo Yingjie asked. "Read it a few more times..."

He Tiantian pronounced “a…” in the fourth tone, which was taught by Professor Wang. This way, the throat should vibrate to produce the rhythm of foreigners pronouncing letters.

“Something seems off. Read it again…” Huo Yingjie frowned slightly and pointed at He Tiantian.

It's clearly correct, so why does Huo Yingjie say it's wrong?

However, considering that Huo Yingjie has always been a top student, and what a top student says is always right, I chose to believe Huo Yingjie.

“a…” He Tiantian read it again.

Huo Yingjie shook his head and said, "It's still a little short. Come on, look at me and let me see if your lip movements are correct. If your lip movements are wrong, your English won't sound natural!"

He Tiantian wanted to learn authentic English, so upon hearing Huo Yingjie's words, she quickly turned to face him and said, "A... is that right?"

Huo Yingjie gently placed a hand on He Tiantian's shoulder and said, "Watch my lips, a..."

He Tiantian stared wide-eyed at Huo Yingjie's mouth, tsk tsk, a smooth chin, beautiful thin lips, white teeth, a nimble tongue...

Cough cough cough, I can't think about it anymore!

Study hard and make progress every day!

Be a good child who loves learning!

Based on Huo Yingjie's lip movements and tone, He Tiantian slightly opened her mouth, but just as she was about to speak, she felt her vision go black, and then she felt a soft, smooth, and warm tongue appear inside her slightly open mouth!

That jerk, saying she mispronounced it, he was just making fun of her!

He Tiantian tried to struggle, but felt Huo Yingjie's hand, which had been on her shoulder, press against the back of her head, making it impossible for her to break free.

However, the feeling of sweet love swept over her, and the intimate actions brought her a thrill that she could not forget, exciting and wonderful!

He Tiantian used both hands, but instead of pushing Huo Yingjie away, she wrapped them around his neck, deepening the kiss.

No longer passively accepting the love and teasing of her beloved man, her small tongue and Huo Yingjie's powerful tongue chased and played playfully against each other. Their breaths deepened, their panting grew heavier, and their heartbeats quickened.

After a while, Huo Yingjie reluctantly left the rosy lips he had been longing for, and instead hugged He Tiantian, resting his chin on her shoulder, breathing heavily.

Only after Huo Yingjie calmed down did He Tiantian coquettishly retort, "You were lying to me just now. I clearly read it very well."

Huo Yingjie was displeased. He looked at He Tiantian and said seriously and forcefully, "Even if studying is important, I am important too! I'm leaving tomorrow. You don't look at me, you just read books. You don't know how jealous I am of that book! If you ignore me, then I'll have to figure it out myself."

Huo Yingjie's tone and expression were wicked, roguish, and gave off a smug look.

"You bad guy!" He Tiantian said with a laugh, patting Huo Yingjie's lean back.

"If you don't behave, I'll show you how a villain is made." Huo Yingjie hugged He Tiantian, getting a little excited again.

What should we do?!

With elders and bodyguards around, and so many third wheels around, it's going to be tough!

"No!" He Tiantian refused, her face flushed, but her charming appearance only made her more alluring.

Never mind, there are only the two of them in the room now, let's kiss first and then worry about the consequences.

He traveled a long way to visit He Tiantian, and he didn't want to just look at her; of course, he wanted to do something that all men like, especially young men!

This year's tasks are even more difficult and demanding, and he doesn't know if he'll be able to get any vacation time, so he cherishes this opportunity to meet.

I don't expect time to stop, but I hope it will slow down so he can enjoy this sweetness a little longer. (To be continued.)
