Seeing He Tiantian like this, Huo Yingjie was even happier. Pointing to the plump dumpling on the table, he said, "Look, this dumpling is white, just like your skin; its belly is bulging, just like your chubby cheeks right now..."
She accepted the fair skin, but what was with that chubby face? Did she really have that many wrinkles?
“I don’t have a round face, I don’t have wrinkles on my face,” He Tiantian retorted. “You’re the one with a round face, you’re the one with a big meat filling round face.”
Huo Yingjie was taken aback, then realized that He Tiantian didn't know what "baozi face" meant.
"Okay, I have a round face with wrinkles, and you have a smooth face, alright?" Huo Yingjie surrendered, reaching out to pinch He Tiantian's face, leaving two floury finger marks on it.
He Tiantian didn't dodge and was pinched by Huo Yingjie, turning into a little kitten.
Not to be outdone, He Tiantian reached out to pinch Huo Yingjie's face, but Huo Yingjie's arms and legs were too long for her to reach. She could only jump up and down in frustration, but to no avail.
"What are you doing?" Grandma Qi asked, half-smiling and half-scolding. "You're all so big now, and you're still so naughty. It's such a waste that you've spilled flour on the ground. I'll wash my hands and come help you make dumplings."
Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian, like children caught doing something wrong, quickly admitted their mistake: "We won't make trouble anymore, Grandma. You go outside and we'll make dumplings together. We can eat them in a little while. It's cold in here, you should go to the living room."
"You really won't let me help?" Grandma Qi asked. Actually, she could see the affection between the two, but she couldn't stand seeing them waste food.
The two were chatting and laughing, so she, an old woman, should go inside to avoid disturbing them.
Old Qi was drinking tea in the house, his eyes half-closed, listening to the radio while sitting in a chair!
After Grandma Qi came in, Old Man Qi laughed and said, "Childhood sweethearts!"
"Yes, this child is very good. If she gets married in the future, she will definitely be very happy," said Grandma Qi. The two families are of similar social standing. Perhaps the Huo family is of slightly higher social standing, but the He family is not bad either. They are a family of scholars, and He Tiantian's parents are both scientific researchers and highly educated.
"Childhood sweethearts, innocent and carefree!" Old Man Qi said enviously, "If I hadn't killed that villain and hadn't joined the army, would you have married me?"
While they were talking about He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie, Old Man Qi suddenly changed the subject and brought up the matter of Qi Family Village. Grandma Qi looked a little embarrassed. Those things were all ancient history, why bring them up now!
"At our age, let's not talk about these things anymore. Let bygones be bygones," said Grandma Qi, not wanting to mention the past.
Old Qi felt a pang of helplessness upon hearing this. She was his most cherished memory. Back then, after he killed someone, even the homeowner fled. He encountered her on the road, and she gave him a few silver dollars for travel expenses.
But that's alright. Although she's old and he's old, it's good that we can still look at each other.
Old Qi had no more expectations!
Grandma Qi was shrewd all her life; she knew everything, but she just didn't want to talk about it. She was no longer young and only wanted a peaceful life; she didn't want to cause trouble in her old age.
As long as you both have each other in your hearts, that's enough!
Grandma Qi had just scolded He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie, so the two of them didn't dare to misbehave anymore and obediently rolled out the dough and made dumplings. Seeing that there were enough dumplings for the two of them, they quickly cooked them for the two elders so they could eat first.
He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie continued making dumplings until there were enough for the two of them, and then they started cooking the dumplings.
After eating their fill, He Tiantian wrapped up all the remaining dough and dumpling filling, filling an entire work surface. Huo Yingjie took the dumplings outside, covered them with a cloth to freeze them so they wouldn't get soggy, and then cooked them directly in the pot that evening.
After lunch, the two elderly people strolled around the yard to digest their food before going inside for a nap.
He Tiantian stretched and said, "You can tidy up here. I'm a little tired and I'm going to sleep. After you're done tidying up, you can go home and get some sleep too."
"You go ahead, I'll take care of things here," Huo Yingjie said, not wanting He Tiantian to get tired.
He Tiantian washed her hands, dusted off the flour on her body, went back into the room to get a rubber hot water bottle, and put it in the quilt.
He Tiantian casually closed the door, took off her coat and sweater, and went to sleep in just her shirt and underpants. She had to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to queue up early tomorrow morning. She was exhausted after a long day and couldn't hold on any longer this afternoon.
He Tiantian hugged a warm hot water bottle and lay asleep on the soft bed.
Exhausted, she fell asleep quickly and even snored softly.
After Huo Yingjie finished packing his things, he wanted to come over and talk to He Tiantian.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw He Tiantian sleeping soundly. His first instinct was to close the door and let He Tiantian sleep peacefully. But when his gaze fell on the little bundle of joy on the bed, he stopped in his tracks.
He didn't want to leave!
He pushed open the door and came in as if possessed, sitting down on the edge of He Tiantian's bed.
Huo Yingjie smelled the pleasant fragrance in the room, took a few deep breaths, and couldn't help but close his eyes, feeling the presence of the lovely person in the room.
However, after a while, Huo Yingjie felt that this was not enough. He wanted to get to know more, so he turned to look at He Tiantian, who was fast asleep, and reached out to touch her face.
Huo Yingjie's hand was slightly cool when it touched He Tiantian's face, causing the sleeping He Tiantian to flinch slightly and avoid Huo Yingjie's touch.
"Hehe!" Huo Yingjie chuckled silently and withdrew his hand.
However, after a while, Huo Yingjie's hands warmed up, and he became greedy again, reaching out to touch He Tiantian's face once more.
This time, He Tiantian didn't dodge, but instead gently rubbed against Huo Yingjie's warm hand a few times.
Huo Yingjie's fingers gently caressed He Tiantian's face, unconsciously moving to the side of her rosy lips, where he tentatively touched them. He Tiantian, perhaps dreaming of eating, actually opened her mouth and sucked on Huo Yingjie's finger, even licking it with her soft little tongue.
He Tiantian's unconscious action caused distress to Huo Yingjie, who was fully conscious.
It felt so good to have my fingers enveloped by those soft, moist lips; it was so incredibly comforting and arousing!
His body had already begun to change slightly, and he dared not continue. He was worried that if he didn't remove his fingers soon, he would be unable to resist wanting more and doing more.
You reap what you sow!
Huo Yingjie struggled to withdraw his finger, his mouth agape, and turned to look at the rest of the room.
After hesitating for a moment, I wanted to stand up and leave, but then I couldn't bear to, so I sat down again. (To be continued.)
