404

This trip back to China is not simply to visit relatives.

For the safety of her loved ones, she had to make some concessions and pay a price, but it was all worth it.

"Huh?" He Tiantian was taken aback. "Is this okay?"

“There is no such thing as ‘can’ or ‘can’ in this world, only whether you have the ability or not!” Bai Qiongyu said. “The most crucial factor is the amount of leverage you have and the price you are willing to pay.”

He Tiantian suddenly remembered what the Snake King had said before: that her grandmother's family, the Bai family, was in the arms business.

Will people in China appreciate my grandmother's qualities when I go back this time?

"I..." He Tiantian stammered, "I can't bear to..."

"Your childhood sweetheart?" Bai Qiongyu asked with a light laugh, her eyes teasing.

He Tiantian was taken aback and asked, "Grandmother, how did you know?"

"Haha, of course Sister Qi told me," Bai Qiongyu said. "It seems I guessed right."

“Grandmother, you’re making fun of me too.” He Tiantian blushed. “Brother Yingjie and I grew up together. He loves me very much, and I love him very much too.”

When Bai Qiongyu saw He Tiantian's expression, she was reminded of her own love with He Jinming.

It was passionate and unforgettable, but the passion faded, leaving only pain.

Although it hurt, I have no regrets.

But that's the charm of love, isn't it?

She wanted to remind her granddaughter to protect her heart and not lose herself in a man, but the words wouldn't come out. She herself couldn't do it, so how could she expect He Tiantian to?

This is a valuable experience in He Tiantian's life, and it shouldn't be up to her to control.

“Hehe, Sister Qi is right. A man who doesn’t indulge in romance is wasting his youth. Enjoy your love and youth to the fullest,” Bai Qiongyu said. “However, I only have one request, or rather, one suggestion.”

"Grandmother, please speak. I'm all ears." He Tiantian was happy to see that her grandmother didn't object to her and Huo Yingjie. Her grandmother was very open-minded.

Bai Qiongyu's smile faded, and she said seriously, "It's understandable that love is passionate and unforgettable, but please remember not to let love cloud your judgment. You can love, you can hate, you can resent, but please protect yourself and cherish your body. Because your thoughts are your own, you gradually accept information from the outside world and form your own consciousness, but your body and life are not your own. They were given to you by your parents, and you cannot fail to cherish them, much less have the right to trample on them."

He Tiantian was taken aback. Her grandmother's words were full of positive values ​​and positive energy!

“Grandmother, I know that a person’s hair and skin are given to them by their parents,” He Tiantian said. “If love is gone, you can find another one, but if you are unwell and lose your life, then you have nothing left, and it will only make the people who care about you sad.”

This time, Bai Qiongyu was surprised and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, that's one way to understand it."

"Grandmother, I've remembered everything," He Tiantian said with a smile. She was determined to be with Huo Yingjie for the rest of her life.

However, this is on the premise that Huo Yingjie's sincerity remains unchanged.

If Huo Yingjie falls in love with someone else or does something to betray her, He Tiantian won't be a foolish woman waiting for Huo Yingjie's love in vain.

From her grandmother's words, He Tiantian understood her grandmother's views on love.

Love comes when fate brings you together, and love fades when fate takes you apart; don't force anything.

But the most pitiful one is probably her father!

Xianglan, who was listening to the conversation between the grandmother and granddaughter, smiled and said, "Miss, young lady, you two look alike and have similar personalities."

"Really?" Bai Qiongyu turned her head and asked, "Strong on the outside, fragile on the inside, actually living a rather tiring life."

He Tiantian also became stronger after being reborn and receiving help from the Snake King, but that was only on the surface; she was still sensitive and fragile inside.

"Actually, it's alright. It's all for my beloved family and the people I love," He Tiantian said with a smile. "So no matter how hard or tiring it is, I'm not afraid."

"A strong mind, fearless." Bai Qiongyu nodded, marveling at her granddaughter's mental fortitude.

After dinner, Sun and his grandfather took a walk in the courtyard to digest their food.

He Tiantian settled down at her grandmother's place.

Meanwhile, during the months that He Tiantian was away, Huo Yingjie was so busy at the research institute that he lost over ten kilograms.

Huo Yingjie was already tall and not fat, but now that he has lost more than ten kilograms, it is even more obvious.

Now that the work had come to a certain point, Huo Yingjie had a three-day holiday. After sleeping for a whole day, he and Zhou Yuanchao went to Chief Engineer Sun's house.

Seeing how much weight Huo Yingjie had lost, Aunt Li grumbled, "That old man surnamed Sun, doesn't he treat you like human beings? You two young men, how thin you've become!"

Huo Yingjie touched his face and realized that he had indeed lost some weight since the Lunar New Year.

Sigh, the task is so demanding, I forget everything when I get busy.

“This has nothing to do with Chief Engineer Sun, so Aunt Li shouldn’t talk about him,” Huo Yingjie said, speaking up for Chief Engineer Sun.

Aunt Li is a great cook, and she's also very good at talking about people.

Zhou Yuanchao said with a smile, "Aunt Li, we've lost weight. If you cook more delicious food, we can gain weight."

"Alright, you wait here, I'll stew a pot of braised pork for you today," Aunt Li said. "You all work like madmen, how can your bodies handle it if you don't eat well? You're all still young, we can't be careless. If you get weak, you'll know how painful it is after you get married."

Huo Yingjie was quite embarrassed; saying that seemed rather awkward.

"Alright, you nagging old woman, hurry up and go inside to cook." Chief Engineer Sun came out of the study and heard his wife say this, so he quickly urged her on.

Everyone in the research institute has lost weight, but Huo Yingjie and Zhou Yuanchao have gained weight. That would be strange!

"You two come here, I have something to say to you," Chief Engineer Sun said kindly, looking at the two promising young men.

Huo Yingjie and Zhou Yuanchao followed closely behind and arrived at Chief Engineer Sun's office.

"Chief Engineer Sun, is there something we can't talk about outside?" Huo Yingjie asked. It's a holiday today, surely there's some important mission coming up?

"The research institute in Yanjing has a new project and is recruiting talent nationwide. I recommended you to my superiors. After your vacation, you can pack your bags and head to Yanjing," Chief Engineer Sun said. This mission is too important to be undertaken in complete seclusion.

Previously, their research institute could receive some projects assigned by Yanjing. Once completed, all they had to do was submit the report and the finished product.

But this time it won't work; it must be kept completely secret and we must stay inside the base.

Huo Yingjie's heart skipped a beat as he thought of that Eagle Project.

Damn, this trip will last for several years!

It's completely enclosed in the middle; you can't get out.

Meanwhile, experts from across the country gathered in Yanjing to form a working group, which then headed to the remote mountains.

We will absolutely not release it until the research is successful.

"Chief Engineer Sun, we're just two young people, there's no need for us to go to such a complicated place." Huo Yingjie didn't want to go; he wanted to wait until He Tiantian got engaged at the end of this year and get married when she turned eighteen.

Looking back in despair, the cunning sword spirit in "Beast Taming Fairy" makes a comeback on the path to immortality.
