But when the time actually came, although she liked her current life, she always felt that something was missing in it.

Is it because she suppressed her hobbies?

He Tiantian asked herself questions and reflected on her own actions.

Yes, she is thirty years old now. As her children grow up, will she continue to live such a mundane life?

That would be so boring.

She...she has unknowingly grown tired of her current life.

It seems that everyone else has already figured it out, but she herself is unaware of it and seems to be running away from it.

After Grandma Wang made it clear, she stopped talking.

He Tiantian has always been a smart person; she will figure it out.

Only when you understand things for yourself can you discover the flaws in your life and then think about how to change them.

In the evening, the child came home from school.

The two older children, who are already in third grade, are doing their homework. As soon as they get home, they sit down at their desks and start working. Only after they finish their homework can they do what they like.

Huo Xiaosan is a student in the junior class of the Yuhong Class. After writing some pinyin and doing his math homework, he started humming and hawing in the yard with a stick.

The children all have their own things to do, and they no longer cling to He Tiantian like they did when they were little.

Yuen Wah is right. Children have their own lives, and she should have her own life too.

In the evening, Huo Yingjie got off work and arrived home at six o'clock.

So everyone started washing their hands and eating, without letting He Tiantian worry about anything.

After dinner, the children went to watch the cartoons that were sent from abroad.

This is also why He Tiantian doesn't want her children to play right after eating, as it's bad for their stomachs, so she allows them to watch TV for half an hour after meals.

After watching TV, Huo Xiaosan was free to move around on his own, while Huo Ruihua and Huo Ruimin read books in the study.

You can read any book in the study.

He Tiantian seemed a little distracted and listless, and had no idea what was on TV.

After washing up and changing into his home clothes, Huo Yingjie came to his room.

"What's wrong?" Huo Yingjie asked, thinking that He Tiantian was not feeling well, and reached out to touch her forehead.

"I'm not feeling unwell," He Tiantian said. "I'm just a little sleepy."

"What's wrong? Tell me, I'm listening. Don't be confused by yourself," Huo Yingjie said. He had been busy with work lately and hadn't had time to communicate with He Tiantian.

He Tiantian felt that thinking about things alone was like getting stuck in a rut, and it would be better to discuss it with Huo Yingjie.

"Brother Yingjie, do you think I've become boring and dull?" He Tiantian asked, looking at Huo Yingjie seriously.

Huo Yingjie was taken aback, not understanding why He Tiantian would say such a thing. He quickly put down the book in his hand and turned to look at He Tiantian. Tiantian was still so beautiful, but there seemed to be some loneliness in her eyes.

"Are you bored?" Huo Yingjie asked. After careful analysis, he realized that nothing had happened at home, so she must be throwing a tantrum.

“Well, the children have their own lives, you have a job, and I just look at the accounts. So much time is wasted like this,” He Tiantian said. “Shouldn’t I go out and get a job too?”

Huo Yingjie quickly calculated in his mind, thought for a moment, and said, "So what kind of job do you want to do? If it's just for the sake of working, then there's no need. It's too hard, and you won't enjoy it. But if you do it because you like it, then do it. We should enjoy life and make ourselves happy, not make ourselves suffer."

He Tiantian was somewhat shocked by Huo Yingjie's words.

I do it because I like it.

“I…I want to go swimming,” He Tiantian said softly. “It’s not for work. Yuanhua said that their association has a swimming club with a big pool, which is also available in winter. I want to go and have some fun.”

"Hehe, I see. Okay, I'm going to go with you the day after tomorrow, it's the weekend. If you like, then go ahead and do it." Huo Yingjie said.

With Wei Yuanyuan by He Tiantian's side, protecting her, Huo Yingjie felt at ease.

"Okay, let's go have some fun." He Tiantian nodded, her mood improving.

He Tiantian was really looking forward to the weekend.

When the weekend came, Grandma Wang sent the children to the old house, and Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian ran away.

Yuen Wah had acquaintances, so he brought Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian over directly.

"It's not open yet, but since Yuanhua recommended you, I'll take you there," a tall, handsome young man said with a smile, his eyes glancing unintentionally at Yuanhua.

He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie are both perceptive people, and they immediately saw what was going on.

Haha, this man named Zhu Zhitao wants to pursue Yuan Hua.

Yuen Wah seems to be giving this man a chance as well.

They drove together to the swimming pool that had just opened this summer, and the facilities there were indeed top-notch.

"Alright, Zhu Zhitao, you go ahead and do your thing. We'll play here for a while," Yuan Hua said, feeling bad about bothering Zhu Zhitao any longer.

"Alright, you guys swim for a while, I'll treat you to lunch," Zhu Zhitao said with a smile. The woman in front of him was Teacher He, whom Yuan Hua had always praised.

He wanted to pursue Yuan Hua, so naturally he had to make a good impression on Teacher He.

"It's our turn to treat you to lunch," Huo Yingjie said with a smile, thanking Zhu Zhitao for his help.

There were only about a dozen people scattered throughout the entire swimming pool, both men and women. They were probably like Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian, having gotten in through connections.

There are eight swimming lanes inside, and the water is crystal clear blue.

Huo Yingjie, He Tiantian, and Yuan Hua changed into their swimsuits.

Wei Yuanyuan stood to the side protecting He Tiantian, looking around.

He Tiantian and Yuan Hua were both wearing conservative one-piece swimsuits. After warming up, they came to the edge of the pool.

People kept glancing at He Tiantian and Yuan Hua, while others looked at Huo Yingjie with his long legs, long feet, and six-pack abs.

“Teacher He, there are two swimming lanes over there, shall we have a race?” Yuan Hua suggested, even though she knew that she was no match for He Tiantian’s speed, she was just joining in for fun.

"Okay!" He Tiantian smiled brightly and took a few deep breaths.

He Tiantian and Yuan Hua walked onto the stage.

"Brother Yingjie, call 'start' for us," He Tiantian said. Since it's a swimming competition, let's take it seriously.

"Alright." Huo Yingjie smiled. "On your marks, get set, go!"

Upon hearing Huo Yingjie's command, He Tiantian, like a mermaid, gracefully glided through the air, raised her hands above her head, and entered the water without splashing much.

Yuan Hua's movements, while not slow, were slower than He Tiantian's, and his movements were not as graceful.

After entering the water, He Tiantian quickly paddled with her legs, and when she resurfaced, she was already seven or eight meters away. Afterward, He Tiantian swam in her own way, moving her arms.

They were moving very fast, leaving Yuan Hua far behind.
