He Tiantian glanced at her watch; it was already 10 p.m.

“Jingli, it’s warm in here now. I’ve aired out the blankets and quilts. You can sleep in this room. We can talk about anything else tomorrow. Now, get some rest.” He Tiantian said, “Oh, and there’s hot water in the thermos in the bathroom. Use the green plastic basin to wash up.”

"Okay, you rest first, I'll go wash up," Huang Jingli said with a smile. After so many days of worry and fear, she could finally get a good night's sleep.

With this friend, I have a place to stay and won't end up homeless.

When He Tiantian returned, she whispered to Huo Yingjie about Huang Jingli.

"I didn't expect Huang Jingli to be so pitiful," Huo Yingjie said. "Since you have a good relationship with her, you should help her more. It's rare that you two can get along; she's also quite shrewd."

"Mmm!" He Tiantian replied, feeling very sleepy, and hugged Huo Yingjie's waist to sleep.

Huang Jingli lay in the soft, warm quilt, and her whole body felt warm too.

I drifted off to sleep, still thinking that I should treat He Tiantian well in the future and thank her for her kindness.

Huang Jingli was exhausted and slept until after 11 a.m. the next day.

"Sweetie, I'm sorry, I got up a little late," Huang Jingli said apologetically. She felt quite embarrassed to sleep in at someone else's house.

"It's okay, you're very tired," He Tiantian said with a smile. "Go wash up first, lunch will be ready soon."

By the time Huang Jingli finished washing up, He Tiantian had already served the food, put the babies in the stroller and let them drink formula while the others ate.

After lunch, He Tiantian and Huang Jingli chatted while taking care of the child.

Around 10 p.m., Wu Youliang, another guest, arrived at He Tiantian's home.

Huo Yingjie asked in surprise, "The school dormitory is open?"

"The door is open," Wu Youliang said. "I just came back from school. These are sausages that my family made ourselves. I brought some over for you."

Huo Yingjie accepted it without ceremony, saying, "Thank you. By the way, Class Monitor Wu, what do you think of Huang Jingli? Do you want to continue the relationship?"

"Of course I want to. It's rare to find such a good girl who is interested in me, and she's also so outstanding. We have a lot in common," Wu Youliang said. "I came here this time to ask my sister-in-law to put in a good word for me with Huang Jingli, so I can find a way to win the heart of this beauty."

Speaking of the Chinese New Year, Wu Youliang's heart is filled with tears!

During the Chinese New Year, his parents insisted that he go on blind dates. Wu Youliang didn't want to date a divorced woman or a village girl with whom he had nothing in common, so he told them directly that he would start dating at school.

Compared to second marriages in rural areas and illiterate village girls, Wu Youliang's parents naturally preferred to find a college graduate as their daughter-in-law, so they stopped pressuring Wu Youliang to go on blind dates. However, they required Wu Youliang to bring his future daughter-in-law to meet his parents two months later.

Aside from his looks, Wu Youliang is a good man in every other way; he's a lucky man.

"Squad Leader Wu, Huang Jingli came to our house yesterday looking distraught. She must have been upset at home," Huo Yingjie whispered, reminding her. "This is a great opportunity. You should comfort her and wait for her to tell you about her troubles at home. That should be the key to your success."

Wu Youliang's eyes lit up when he heard Huo Yingjie's words. "Oh my, thank goodness I made it through. I can still find such a good opportunity."

"Huo Yingjie, you're really a good friend," Wu Youliang said happily, determined to seize the opportunity.

Huang Jingli heard that the school dormitories had reopened, so she decided to go back to school.

“Going back to school is fine too. We can go back after dinner,” He Tiantian said. “You don’t need to worry about it being dark and unsafe. Isn’t Wu Youliang with you? You two can chat on the way. What a great opportunity!”

Huang Jingli didn't hesitate and nodded, saying, "That's right, then I'll leave tonight. Tiantian, my clothes are too worn out, I'll throw them away later. I'll wear your mother's clothes for now, and return them when I get back and change."

My mother, Wang Shuping, went to the United States, and I guess she'll never wear these clothes again in her life.

“Jingli, as you know, my parents went to America and probably won’t wear these clothes again in their lives. They’re just sitting at home doing nothing. Since you can wear them, just wear them. Don’t mind that they’re old.” He Tiantian said. These were her mother Wang Shuping’s clothes. They were plain in color but well-made and flattering.

Huang Jingli liked the clothes she was wearing and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Tiantian. I won't stand on ceremony with you. If you ever need anything in the future, just let me know if I can help. I will never refuse."

“I won’t stand on ceremony with you,” He Tiantian said. Having more friends means having more options.

After dinner, Wu Youliang and Huang Jingli went back to school together.

He Tiantian also packed some candy and chocolate for Huang Jingli to take to her dormitory to eat.

School started, and He Tiantian got ready, sat on the back of Huo Yingjie's bicycle, and the couple went to school together.

The children are used to their parents not being around, and they are very easy to take care of as long as Grandma Wang is there.

Two weeks later, Huang Jingli and Wu Youliang confirmed their relationship. Wu Youliang bought some gifts and came to thank Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian.

A month into the semester, Wu Youliang asked his teacher for two days off, and on Sunday, he took Huang Jingli home to meet his parents—a very quick process.

"They're so fast!" He Tiantian exclaimed. "Won't they understand things thoroughly enough?"

"Hehe, don't worry, they're both adults, and both are smart. They have similar experiences and can talk about things," Huo Yingjie said. "At the same time, both of them are of good character. One wants to marry and the other wants to be married, so it's normal for things to move quickly!"

He Tiantian nodded and said, "I hope they will be happy."

"I think so," Huo Yingjie said. "Don't spend all your time worrying about other people's business. Besides your studies, can you also think about your husband?"

Upon hearing this, He Tiantian's body went limp, and she leaned against Huo Yingjie's chest, her eyes filled with seductive allure. She put down her pen and reached her small hand inside Huo Yingjie's clothes to grope him.

"Honey, how do you want me to take care of you?" He Tiantian asked sweetly, pinching the soft flesh under Huo Yingjie's arm as she spoke.

Seeing his wife like this, Huo Yingjie hugged He Tiantian tightly and said in a hoarse voice, "It's still your husband who cares about you."

After saying that, he began his great undertaking of "concern".

In their relationship, He Tiantian was only responsible for the beginning, while Huo Yingjie was responsible for the process and the ending.

They worked together seamlessly and shared deep affection.

The only discordant element is that sometimes, at the height of their joy, the sound of a child crying nearby would leave them both in a limbo.

Although Huo Yingjie loves his children, at this moment, he wished he could just throw the two kids out into the yard.

Those two damn brats, all that love for them was for nothing.

They work hard to take care of them all day long, but they don't know how to cherish and respect their father. They're all just a bunch of troublemakers.
