He Tiantian treated everyone around her with a grateful heart. However, reaching middle age, she discovered she had been living inside a full-bodied lie.
Returning to the year 1970, He Tianti...

After Huo Yingjun finished speaking, he pulled Huo Yingqi out without waiting for He Tiantian's reply.
Huo Yingjun knew that if he kept his sister Huo Yingqi here any longer, Huo Yingqi would say more and offend He Tiantian even more. The only way was to get his sister Huo Yingqi away as soon as possible.
He Tiantian wasn't angry when she saw that the person had left.
It's pathetic that Huo Yingqi is unable to distinguish right from wrong, is stubborn, and lives in her own world!
Faced with such a pathetic person, He Tiantian had no energy to be angry with him.
Especially now that Huo Yingjie is in a coma, He Tiantian is even less in the mood!
"Brother Yingjie, please wake up soon." He Tiantian felt very sad seeing Huo Yingjie like this.
Her heroic brother was always a pillar of strength, a handsome and elegant man, not someone who could only lie silently in bed.
With no one inside, the Snake King said, "Little Whirlwind Turtle, come out and tell me what happened."
He Tiantian was stunned, her eyes filled with tears, as she watched the little tortoise appear beside Huo Yingjie's shoulder. She asked, "Little tortoise, what exactly happened? You must tell me in detail. Wait, let me ask the Snake King first, is it possible for Brother Yingjie to wake up?"
The snake king's true form is very large, making it inconvenient for him to come out.
The Snake King didn't want He Tiantian to see his human form, so he could only answer her questions inside the barrier.
"Huo Yingjie's soul has been mostly scattered. I don't know if I can bring it back?" the Snake King said hesitantly. It wasn't that he didn't want to save Huo Yingjie, but Huo Yingjie's current condition was extremely bad.
"But Brother Yingjie, you can move, you can hear me talking, why can't you wake up?" He Tiantian asked back. Is your soul gone, leaving only an empty shell?
The little tortoise said in an embarrassed tone, "But it was me moving!"
"Huh?" He Tiantian almost forgot her sadness. "What happened? Tell me quickly! Little Turtle?"
The little tortoise was also very sad, saying, "My master and I were attacked. The missile was extremely powerful and too close. We didn't have enough time to strengthen the barrier. My abilities are limited; I could only protect my master's body. My master's already unstable soul was scattered. I was also severely injured at the time and had no ability to help my master collect his soul. I knew that I couldn't help my master with my own abilities. The only ones who could help my master were you and the Snake King. So when they mentioned you, I reacted and asked them to bring you here."
Upon hearing this, He Tiantian could no longer hold back and burst into tears, saying, "If Brother Yingjie's soul cannot be found completely, will he just keep sleeping like this?"
Although reluctant to admit it, Little Turtle didn't want to deceive He Tiantian, so he nodded.
He Tiantian lay beside Huo Yingjie, tightly hugging his arm, unable to stop her grief. She didn't know what to do but cry!
He Tiantian cried, "Huo Yingjie is so young and he's turned out like this!"
He Tiantian cried. She and Huo Yingjie had faced many difficulties and thought they could be happy together, but this unexpected thing happened.
He Tiantian cried, not knowing what the future held!
"Snake King, please help my master," said the little tortoise. "If there is anyone in this world who can help my master, I can't think of anyone else but you."
He Tiantian was crying so hard that she didn't hear what the little turtle said.
The Snake King remained silent, but He Tiantian's cries struck his heart like a heavy blow, making him even more conflicted and hesitant.
He Tiantian lay on Huo Yingjie's body and cried, her tears falling onto Huo Yingjie's clothes.
Perhaps He Tiantian shook Huo Yingjie too roughly, tearing open the buttons on Huo Yingjie's clothes, and her tears dripped onto the jade pendant on Huo Yingjie's chest.
This jade pendant is a dragon pendant, and it's part of a pair with the one He Tiantian had before.
The majestic dragon pattern moved slightly upon contact with He Tiantian's tears, changing its shape and emitting a dazzling light.
He Tiantian was crying with her eyes closed, so she didn't see the light at all.
Just because He Tiantian didn't see it doesn't mean that Little Turtle and Snake King didn't see it.
"Master, Master..." The little tortoise climbed up, wanting to see the light.
However, once the tears on the jade pendant were absorbed, it stopped shining.
The Snake King's supernatural powers far surpassed those of the Little Whirlwind Turtle. He immediately sensed a familiar light, somewhat similar to the jade pendant around his neck, yet also different.
"Stop crying." The Snake King, annoyed by He Tiantian's crying, snapped, "If you want him to never wake up again, then keep crying..."
"Huh?" Hearing the Snake King's rebuke, He Tiantian quickly covered her mouth. Perhaps it was too sudden, because a lump formed in her throat. "Hiccup...hiccup..."
Worried that the Snake King would regret it, He Tiantian covered her mouth and stared with her big, bright red eyes.
At the same time, it kept hiccuping!
He Tiantian stepped aside, no longer blocking Huo Yingjie.
The Snake King emerged from the barrier, but since his true form was inconvenient, he used human form instead!
The first thing he did upon emerging was to wave his hand and set up a protective barrier.
Looking into the house from the outside, only He Tiantian was inside; there was no one else.
When the Snake King appeared, He Tiantian was once again dumbfounded. She walked to the Snake King's side, looked at the humanoid snake king who was more than a head taller than her, and stammered, "Snake King, you... how did you become so tall?"
He Tiantian simply walked behind the Snake King and did not see the Snake King's face, but she estimated that the Snake King was very tall.
Furthermore, the Snake King was dressed in a sharp suit, shiny black leather shoes, and had neat short hair.
Even without a direct confrontation, the scene of the Snake King's appearance was far more impressive than the chubby baby in the red bellyband who first transformed into human form.
Back then, the Snake King was chubby and looked just like a child in a New Year's painting. What's even funnier is that the Snake King only had a big red bib and no other clothes. He was just a little kid with a bare bottom. It was He Tiantian who made him a few clothes.
These clothes and shoes are very exquisite; they were probably obtained from a clothing store in New York City.
"It's because you're short, okay?" The Snake King turned around and looked at He Tiantian, who was two steps away.
He Tiantian was stunned again, finally seeing the Snake King's appearance clearly.
Her fair skin, slender single eyelids, straight nose, and thin lips gave her a sinister air.
He Tiantian was familiar with the Snake King, but she also felt that this version of the Snake King was a bit unfamiliar. Standing next to the Snake King, she felt a lot of pressure.
"Snake King, you're so handsome!" He Tiantian said. "Do you have a way to save Brother Yingjie?"
Snake King strolled to Huo Yingjie's bedside, his narrow eyes narrowed to slits, so no one could see his gaze or know what he was thinking.
