Yes, the Snake King has a heavy responsibility; he can't afford not to work hard!
There are still two more tribulations to go, so there's no room for carelessness.
"Keep up the good work," He Tiantian encouraged. "I'll also study hard recently and strive to achieve something as soon as possible."
Starting tomorrow, she will study hard and not let everyone down.
She wants to be a top student!
She's going to make a comeback!
The Snake King nodded and said, "We must try our best!"
"By the way, did you see the little turtle?" He Tiantian asked. This time, she had very few opportunities to be alone with Huo Yingjie and had forgotten about the little turtle.
"It wanted to see me, but I was too busy to see it," the Snake King said arrogantly, though only it knew the truth.
At that time, it was cultivating inside the barrier while wearing a bib, how could it come out to see the little whirling turtle!
This is so damaging to its lofty image!
No, I absolutely will not come out!
"It's rare for Little Turtle to come all this way, and you're acting so inhumanely," He Tiantian complained. "Remember next time, guests are guests!"
Just then, He Tiantian's door was suddenly opened, and someone walked in.
He Tiantian looked closely and realized it was Huo Yingjie.
Huo Yingjie closed the door and walked up to He Tiantian.
The Snake King was also taken aback. Didn't this annoying person leave? Why is he back again?
Because Huo Yingjie was holding He Tiantian, it could no longer get close to her. It landed on He Tiantian's blanket in mid-air and could only awkwardly crawl into the bed.
"Brother Yingjie, why are you back?" He Tiantian asked, very curious.
Huo Yingjie took out the little tortoise from his pocket and said, "Sweetie, this is a good thing. You take it; it will protect you."
Upon seeing the little tortoise, He Tiantian smiled and said, "Brother Yingjie, I'm very safe here, you don't need to worry about me. Take it with you; I'll feel at ease with it by your side while you're at the research institute."
“No, you should keep it here,” Huo Yingjie said. “I’m a man, I have ways to protect myself.”
After saying that, he put the little tortoise in He Tiantian's hand, hugged and kissed her, and then turned and left.
He Tiantian was deeply moved; this was Huo Yingjie's love for her!
Because the Snake King was there, she felt safe, so she absolutely refused to have the little tortoise.
He Tiantian chased after him, determined to return the little tortoise to Huo Yingjie.
"Master is so devoted!" The little tortoise's voice echoed in He Tiantian's mind.
He Tiantian smiled and said, "Yes, that's precisely why I can't accept it. I'm safe, and I hope you can protect Huo Yingjie well."
The little tortoise nodded and said, "I will."
He Tiantian ran very fast and caught up with Huo Yingjie at the village entrance.
Several oxcarts were parked not far away, and everyone was waiting for Huo Yingjie!
"Brother Yingjie, take this. If you don't want it, I... I'll hang myself..." He Tiantian blurted out in desperation.
She skipped the crying and tantrums and went straight to hanging herself.
"Be good, Sweetie." Huo Yingjie rubbed her head and soothed her gently.
He Tiantian felt guilty, but couldn't say anything. She became somewhat angry and embarrassed, saying, "Do you want it or not? If you don't take it back, I'll kill myself..."
“Sweetie…” Huo Yingjie smiled bitterly. It seemed that Little Turtle hadn’t lied last time; Sweetie really had threatened to kill herself.
“If you’re worried about me, you can just arrange for more people to protect me,” He Tiantian said. “This little tortoise was originally yours, and it can only play a significant role when it’s by your side. With so many people helping me here, I’m already being kind enough not to bully others; no one would dare to bully me.”
He Jingyu walked over and asked, "What are you talking about?"
He Tiantian quickly stuffed the little tortoise into Huo Yingjie's pocket, saying, "Don't let my dad see it!"
Huo Yingjie was deeply moved; his sweet baby still put his safety first.
"Alright then." Huo Yingjie had no choice but to take them. Fortunately, the Zhou family was about to fall from power, so they shouldn't cause any trouble.
As long as the threat doesn't come from above, He Tiantian can handle it.
Huo Yingjie boarded the oxcart, while He Tiantian watched from the village entrance as the oxcart slowly drove away, its shadow growing smaller and smaller until it disappeared from sight.
For some reason, He Tiantian thought of a song at that moment.
I'll walk you to the edge of the village; there's something I need to tell you...
After He Tiantian returned, she went back to her own room.
Grandma Qi and Wang Shuping looked at each other, shook their heads, and neither of them went inside.
Let the daughter experience and understand the bitterness of parting herself.
He Tiantian went to her room, took out her books, and began to study English.
Because Huo Yingjie interrupted, He Tiantian actually forgot about the Snake King.
At this moment, the Snake King had already revealed his human form and couldn't change back. He was hiding under the covers, not daring to make a sound, lest He Tiantian find out and see his embarrassed appearance.
After studying for about an hour, He Tiantian's eyes felt a little sore. She rubbed her eyes and got up to walk around the room.
Suddenly, He Tiantian noticed that her blanket was a little messy, with a small bulge, as if a pillow had been stuffed inside.
But the pillow is at the head of the bed, not under the covers. What's in there?
Huh? That thing is still moving?
He Tiantian was confused. Could it be someone else's pet dog or cat?
The thought of those unwashed puppies and kittens in her bed made He Tiantian quickly walk over and pull back the covers.
This flip left He Tiantian speechless with shock.
"Ah ...
How could there be a baby in her bed?!
The little baby blinked on the bed, also bewildered.
Hearing He Tiantian's voice from outside, Wang Shuping hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Tiantian?"
"In my room...in my room..." He Tiantian stammered, but before she could finish speaking, she was startled by the scene in front of her.
The little baby turned into a snake!
A golden snake!
So this is the Snake King!
"Bang!" Wang Shuping pushed the door open. "What's wrong?"
He Tiantian turned around and casually covered herself with the blanket.
"It's nothing!" He Tiantian quickly explained, "I...I just saw a mouse..."
The Snake King, lying in bed, had two streams of tears flowing down his face!
What an unlucky year!
He Tiantian must have seen his embarrassing state now. How will he ever face anyone again?
Wang Shuping looked around but didn't find any trace of rats. She frowned and said, "The house is very clean. How could there be rats? Don't be afraid. When your father comes back, he'll get some rat poison."
"Mmm." He Tiantian smiled awkwardly. "I know. Actually, mice aren't that scary. It's just that they suddenly appeared and startled me."
"That's right, seeing it suddenly would definitely cause a scream." Wang Shuping smiled, glanced at the messy blankets, and went over to help He Tiantian fold them. (To be continued.)
