When Huo Yingjie arrived at the lawn, he saw He Tiantian sitting on a cotton cloth with her children, holding toys and playing with them.

"Did you win?" He Tiantian asked with a smile when she saw Huo Yingjie coming over, but she was a little guilty inside, as she had been a bit careless today.

"Of course I won. This is my prize. Take it home and use it." Huo Yingjie put the towel and toothpaste into He Tiantian's big bag and packed them up to take home.

Although it's not expensive, it's something you can use in everyday life.

"Hehe, okay then." He Tiantian pretended. "By the way, why did you think of having Wu Youliang come to find us?"

“I felt uneasy about you leaving with the children, so I asked Wu Youliang to go find you during my break and help look after them. After all, there are two children, and there are a lot of people at school, but you don’t know them,” Huo Yingjie said. “Alright, enough said. The class monitor is calling us to go to the cafeteria for lunch. I agreed. Let’s go, let’s get together with the kids.”

“Sure!” He Tiantian smiled. “It’s warmer at the cafeteria, and I can feed the baby formula there.”

"Let's go then." Huo Yingjie picked up the two children and put them in the stroller.

He Tiantian originally wanted to tell Huo Yingjie, but she didn't have any evidence to prove that Wang Bing was going to push the cart, so she didn't tell Huo Yingjie for the time being.

They soon arrived at the cafeteria, where He Tiantian prepared formula for the children. The two chubby babies, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, held their bottles tightly and drank the milk vigorously.

Since it was a group meal and not one person was paying, He Tiantian gave Huo Yingjie meal tickets and money so he could buy food and groceries and then bring them over to ride with everyone.

He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie had money, so the four dishes they bought were all meat dishes: braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, scrambled eggs, and a plate of braised beef.

Huo Yingjie was very generous; he bought these dishes and placed them on the small table around which everyone was gathered, so that they could share them together.

Huo Yingjie used to occasionally eat with everyone, and he always bought the meat dishes. So even though Huo Yingjie didn't talk much in class and seemed a bit arrogant, he was quite popular.

He Tiantian ate a bowl of rice and drank a bowl of soup.

Previously, they had only watched Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian go to and from school together from afar, but they hadn't gotten close to them and didn't know He Tiantian well. Today, after meeting her, they discovered that He Tiantian had a gentle, straightforward, and unpretentious personality.

Through the dinner party, everyone got to see He Tiantian, and they all praised her and envied Huo Yingjie's good fortune.

After dinner, Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian said goodbye to everyone and prepared to take their child home.

The baby was very tired after coming out today and was drowsy after drinking milk.

He Tiantian put them in the stroller, then closed the lid, leaving a vent, so the children could sleep in the stroller.

Huo Yingjie rode his tricycle home with his wife and children.

Today's trip went quite well.

Grandma Wang was finally relieved to see that the child had no symptoms such as a runny nose or cough after waking up.

The temperature plummeted the next day. I heard that a cold front was coming and that it would snow heavily in a couple of days.

Grandma Wang wouldn't allow Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian to take the child outside, so they stayed inside.

"It's so cold outside, even adults can't stand it, why are you taking the children out?" Grandma Wang scolded Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian. "If you stay inside, the children won't get sick. If you want to go out and play, then go out, don't use the children as an excuse."

He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie looked at each other and shrank back.

They both go to school during the week, and on weekends they want to spend time with their child, but they also want to go out for a stroll. And now that they have diapers, it's much more convenient.

"Yes, Grandma Wang, we know we were wrong." He Tiantian nodded repeatedly and quickly admitted her mistake.

They were wrong from the start; they were irresponsible parents.

The main reason is that Huo Ruihua and Huo Ruimin are both very healthy and rarely get sick, so much so that He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie overlooked their children's delicate constitution.

"I'm sorry, Grandma Wang, we won't do that again." Huo Yingjie nodded and said that he wanted to go out with Tian Tian without bringing the child.

Actually, he didn't want to take care of the child, but Tian Tian always felt guilty for not spending enough time with him.

"It's good to admit your mistakes and correct them. You're inexperienced, so it's normal to make mistakes like this. Just don't make the same mistake again," Grandma Wang said sternly. "My little darlings, look at your faces so cold... I'll spank your parents for being disobedient..."

"Hahaha..." Huo Ruimin laughed heartily, seemingly unaware of what she had misunderstood, hence her great joy.

The temperature continued to drop, everything was gray and hazy, and the sky seemed to hang low, like a thick lid pressing down on people's heads.

Finally unable to withstand the cold air, heavy snow began to fall silently to the ground in the middle of the night.

When I woke up the next morning, it was already half a foot thick.

He Tiantian, Huo Yingjie, Jiang Lifang, and Huo Zhekun got up early to shovel snow.

After breakfast, Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian walked to school.

There was snow on the road, and it was frozen, so you couldn't ride a bicycle.

He Tiantian was dressed in thick clothes, looking like a ball. Even while walking, she almost fell several times.

Huo Yingjie held He Tiantian's hand, which helped He Tiantian regain her footing.

"Brother Yingjie, it's so cold," He Tiantian whispered, her nose red from the cold, and snowflakes still clinging to her eyebrows and eyelashes.

Huo Yingjie held the umbrella for He Tiantian and said, "Today is the last class. There will be two weeks of review time afterwards. We day students can ask the teacher for leave and review at home. Just remember the exam time and come to the exam on time."

"Is this okay?" He Tiantian asked doubtfully. "I heard they're going to take attendance."

“Okay, just say that walking back and forth is a waste of time, and that your child is young and it’s inconvenient to go back and forth,” Huo Yingjie said. “You’ve always behaved very well, so your teacher shouldn’t make things difficult for the girl.”

“Okay, I’ll give it a try.” He Tiantian nodded. She didn’t want to walk to school anymore, as it would take more than two hours round trip.

Winter is here, the days are long and the nights are short. Running back and forth like this feels like a waste of the whole day. Plus, it's so cold. If I catch a cold, I'll feel terrible, have to spend money, and it will interfere with my studies.

Even though they walked quickly, He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie were still late when they arrived at school.

Teacher Chen was giving a lesson, so He Tiantian could only call out "Report!" to enter the classroom.

Feeling embarrassed by being stared at by so many people for the first time, He Tiantian lowered her head and quietly walked to her seat.

Teacher Chen was very unhappy that He Tiantian was late.

He Tiantian felt cold all over after sitting down, and it took her half a class to recover.

Finally, school ended at noon, and He Tiantian went to her homeroom teacher, Ms. Chen's, office.

"Teacher Chen, I'm sorry I'm late," He Tiantian said apologetically, bowing to Teacher Chen.
