1970, A Bit Sweet

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...

Chapter 489 What are you still hoping for?

486

When He Tiantian arrived at the hospital, Jiang Lifang was secretly grieving.

"Aunt Jiang, you should go back and rest. I'll stay here and look after Yingjie," He Tiantian said. "You've been working so hard these past few days, and you've lost so much weight. Please take care of yourself!"

When Jiang Lifang saw He Tiantian coming over, she asked, "You silly child, didn't I tell you to rest at home? Why are you back again?"

He Tiantian said softly, "I couldn't sleep at home, so I changed my clothes and came over. Uncle Huo, please take Aunt Jiang back to rest. Brother Yingjie is very filial; if he wakes up and sees Aunt Jiang looking so haggard, he will definitely feel sorry for her."

"You silly girl." Jiang Lifang was touched; her future daughter-in-law was so understanding.

Huo Zhekun laughed and said, "Since Tian Tian has said so, let's go back. Let Tian Tian and Ying Jie have some time alone. You know how much this kid likes Tian Tian, ​​so we won't disturb them."

"Okay, I'll head back now." Jiang Lifang nodded. "Tian Tian, ​​if you need anything, just go to your sister-in-law."

"Okay, I understand, Aunt Jiang." He Tiantian replied. This was a hospital, so of course she should go to Zhao Huanhuan if she needed anything.

Huo Zhekun took his wife Jiang Lifang back home to get some rest, as she had been working too hard lately.

He Tiantian stayed with Huo Yingjie, whispering these words to each other.

He Tiantian pinched Huo Yingjie's nose one moment and his face the next.

When Zhao Huanhuan came in, she saw this heartwarming scene.

It has to be said that the future sister-in-law and the second brother have a really good relationship.

Although she and her husband Huo Yingjun have a deep affection for each other, they are both reserved people and would not do such intimate things.

"Sister-in-law, you've worked hard." He Tiantian said softly, standing up to make room for Zhao Huanhuan so that she could have a better chance to check.

Zhao Huanhuan nodded and said, "It's not hard work, it's my job. As soon as you came, I noticed that my second brother's condition was better than yesterday, which shows that he still cares about you."

He Tiantian blushed slightly and lowered her head in embarrassment.

Zhao Huanhuan was too embarrassed to say anything more, after all, He Tiantian was still a young girl and would be shy, so she couldn't be too explicit.

"Okay, I'm going out now. If you're bored, you can go for a walk," Zhao Huanhuan said. "There aren't many patients in the hospital, so I can help look after them."

He Tiantian was there to take care of Huo Yingjie, not to relieve his boredom. She shook her head and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law. I'll stay here."

"Okay, I'll go out first." Zhao Huanhuan had an even better impression of He Tiantian.

After Zhao Huanhuan left, He Tiantian felt a little tired. She took Huo Yingjie's hand and fell asleep next to Huo Yingjie's hospital bed.

He Tiantian wanted to keep watch here at night, but Huo Zhekun called her home.

Sweetie is a young girl, and she's on a long journey, which must be very tiring. How can we let a young girl like her keep watch at night?

Under everyone's warm care, He Tiantian returned to the Huo family's old house to rest.

At night, He Tiantian was unable to sleep because she was worried about Huo Yingjie, so she called out to the Snake King: "Gurgle gurgle meow... Snake King, come out quickly."

"Are you sure you want me to leave?" the Snake King said sinisterly. Although he really wanted to leave, he didn't want to be tainted by taking advantage of someone in distress.

It was nighttime, and He Tiantian was wearing her pajamas. Thinking that the Snake King had grown into a young man, and that it wasn't appropriate for a lone man and woman to be alone, she quickly said, "Snake King, you'd better not come out. We can just talk in our minds."

"Hmm, go ahead and ask," the Snake King said lazily, toying with two jade pendants in his hands.

Today, He Tiantian cried because she was worried about Huo Yingjie, and she has many questions. Now that she has time, and since she can't sleep, she should ask her more questions.

"Snake King, why did you take those two jade pendants?" He Tiantian asked. Her jade pendant had been snatched away by the Snake King, and Huo Yingjie's had also been taken by him.

This is their engagement ceremony.

The strange phenomena during the day left He Tiantian completely baffled.

"This is an ancient divine jade," said the Snake King. "It will be of great help to me."

He Tiantian looked somewhat troubled: "Snake King, if this jade pendant is useful to you, I don't mind taking it. However, Brother Yingjie is currently unconscious, and I hope we can treat him first. Once Brother Yingjie wakes up, I'll give you both jade pendants, that's fine too!"

He Tiantian was worried that the Snake King would be too busy cultivating to treat Huo Yingjie's illness!

"Hmph!" The Snake King snorted coldly. In fact, He Tiantian had hit the nail on the head. He was indeed hesitating about whether or not to take the jade pendant for himself.

"Snake King, you are the all-powerful Snake King!" He Tiantian said, "Please save Brother Yingjie!"

"I'm already treating him, but he's not able to absorb any more spiritual energy right now, so we'll continue tomorrow," the Snake King said. If he didn't agree, He Tiantian would keep pestering him.

In that case, he would have no way to cultivate.

"Thank you, Great Snake King," He Tiantian said. "As long as you revive Brother Yingjie, with his abilities, he will surely be able to find more ancient divine jades for you to cultivate with. This is a win-win situation for us!"

Mutually beneficial?

Snake King smiled bitterly. In He Tiantian's mind, they were just partners.

Sigh, what is he still hoping for?

"Don't worry, I will save him," the Snake King said, and then cut off the connection.

He Tiantian was furious. How could the Snake King do this?!

She has many other problems!

Before I could finish speaking, he ran off again!

Filled with deep resentment, He Tiantian fell asleep.

In her dream, He Tiantian interrogated the Snake King repeatedly, and in the end, the Snake King got angry and beat her up.

He Tiantian was very sad. When she woke up, it was already the next day.

He Tiantian glanced at the clock on the wall; it was already six o'clock, time to get up.

He Tiantian finished washing up and had already prepared breakfast, which she brought over.

He Jingyu was also downstairs. After having dinner, he went to replace He Tiantian.

Upon arriving at the hospital, He Jingyu and He Tiantian had a chance to spend time alone together.

He Jingyu was conflicted and hesitant; Huo Yingjie's condition worried him greatly.

Although he admired Huo Yingjie as a boy, it was not so important compared to his daughter's lifelong happiness.

"Sweetie, what if Huo Yingjie doesn't wake up?" He Jingyu asked softly, worried that his daughter was stubborn and wouldn't give up.

He Tiantian was taken aback, then thought for a moment and said, "Dad, Brother Yingjie will definitely wake up."

“I said if!” He Jingyu emphasized.

“Then I will stay with him,” He Tiantian said. This was not an impulsive decision, but a well-thought-out one.

The combined age of her past and present lives makes He Tiantian think things through more clearly.

As long as Huo Yingjie is alive, she will wait for him.
