Seeing that Huo Yingjie wasn't sleeping, He Tiantian gently walked over and said, "It's autumn now, and it's still quite cold at night. Why don't you go back to sleep?"
Huo Yingjie turned his head, a bright smile on his face.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to look at the stars," Huo Yingjie said. "If you're not sleepy, shall we look at them together?"
"Okay!" He Tiantian said, "Wait for me."
He Tiantian went back, made chrysanthemum honey water, and took the savory sesame cakes she had brought back, placing them on a plate.
"Let's not stand, let's sit down and have some tea and snacks," He Tiantian said. "Then we can look at the stars together, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Have you noticed how clear the sky is here, and how close the stars seem to be?"
“Yes, it’s like you can reach it with your hand,” Huo Yingjie said. “No wonder Uncle He said the environment here is very nice, I can feel it.”
Especially the back mountain, where the little spirit snake and his pet went, it's a blessed place.
The reason I was so moved when I came here is because Taoyuan County is located in the ancient residence of him. The blessed land on the back mountain is a cave he used to cultivate.
Beneath the underground river lies a sealed storage room containing some odds and ends.
However, after the great war between gods and demons, the spiritual energy became scarce, and their divine realm redeveloped a new space. He took his original residence and left this place, but only most of his belongings.
Time flies, and things change. So many years have passed, and this place has changed dramatically.
Sweetie is right, everything is preordained.
“Yes, if you like, you can stay here longer,” He Tiantian said. “It’s autumn now, and you can pick a lot of things on the back mountain.”
"Are the dried goods you send home every year all picked at this time of year?" Huo Yingjie took a sip of honey water and ate a pastry.
He Tiantian nodded and said, "Yes, with you joining us this year, we will definitely achieve even greater success."
"Alright, I'll go with you," Huo Yingjie said. This place used to belong to him, and he could vaguely sense where there were good things. He would get some good things for He Tiantian.
After having some snacks and tea, He Tiantian prepared hot water for Huo Yingjie to wash up, and then they each went back to rest.
"Sweetie!" Huo Yingjie called out softly as He Tiantian turned to leave.
"Hmm?" He Tiantian turned her head, tilting it slightly. "Brother Yingjie called me?"
Huo Yingjie reached out his long arm and pressed He Tiantian's little head against his chest, saying softly, "I haven't hugged you all afternoon."
He Tiantian was extremely embarrassed, but it was dark, so her blushing little round face couldn't be seen.
Anyway, there was no one in the yard. Dad was drunk, Mom was taking care of him, and Grandma was already resting.
He Tiantian mustered her courage and hugged Huo Yingjie back, saying, "Then I'll hug you too. Don't you feel happy?"
“I can feel it,” Huo Yingjie said seriously. “Actually, you can make me feel even happier!”
After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed He Tiantian's forehead, the tip of her nose, and then her warm and soft lips.
At this moment, it has nothing to do with lust, it's just a feeling of liking and admiration.
He Tiantian, panting, said in a soft, coquettish voice, "We should...we should rest."
As she said this, she glanced at her mother's room.
“Okay, goodnight,” Huo Yingjie said. “You go in first.”
He Tiantian stood on tiptoe and kissed Huo Yingjie on the cheek, saying, "Goodnight!"
He ran into his room and closed the door.
Watching He Tiantian's retreating figure, Huo Yingjie smiled and returned to his room.
Lying on the hard bed, Huo Yingjie rested his head on his hands, recalling the bits and pieces of this period of time.
The sun rises in the east while it rains in the west; it seems there's no sunshine, yet there is!
Human life is so interesting.
I envy not the immortals, but only the mandarin ducks.
No wonder some gods and demons are willing to intermarry with humans.
By merging with the divine consciousness of Changling Shangshen and Huo Yingjie, one becomes a person or god with a complete personality or a complete divine personality.
This is good; he likes it.
He wanted to grow old with the woman he loved, just like any other human being, and spend his short life with her.
The next morning, He Tiantian was awakened by the crowing of the family's rooster. She opened her eyes, stretched, and yawned.
In short, awesome!
Apart from Wang Shuping, the others gradually arrived.
When He Tiantian returned home, she took on all the chores, along with her ever-helpful Huo Yingjie.
After finishing her chores at home, He Tiantian took the gifts she brought from Nanshi and went to visit Qijia Village.
On the way, they ran into Zhao Dajiao with her daughter and eldest grandson, who were twin grandsons. He Tiantian took out a few White Rabbit candies from her pocket, two for each of them.
The child, with a sweet tongue, said, "Auntie Sweetie, you're so pretty."
This is Zhao Dajiao's eldest grandson, Qi Ergou's eldest son, and he is quite familiar with He Tiantian.
"So good," He Tiantian praised.
Zhao Dajiao pulled the child aside and said, "Tian Tian, you have things to do first, don't worry about this little brat."
"Aunt Zhao, I have something to do, I'll go take a walk first, and then I'll come to your house for a visit later," He Tiantian said with a smile.
Huo Yingjie whispered from behind, "Goodbye, Aunt Zhao!"
When Zhao Dajiao saw the handsome Huo Yingjie talking to her, she felt a little excited. Oh my, Huo Yingjie is so good-looking. He and Tian Tian are a perfect match!
"Goodbye, goodbye," Zhao Dajiao said repeatedly.
What secrets could children have? Before long, all the children who came out to play knew that Sister Tiantian was pretty and gave out candy, so they all ran to the vicinity of Grandma Qi's house to wait for He Tiantian to come back and ask for candy.
Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian first went to see Old Man Qi and Professor Wang, and presented them with gifts.
He Tiantian remembered that her mother was home and her father was busy, so she stayed for a while and then returned home with Huo Yingjie.
As soon as I returned to the village, many little rascals jumped out of the village. Some were relatively clean, while others had snot almost dripping into their mouths. They could always suck the snot back in at the crucial moment.
"Sister Sweetie, you're so beautiful!"
"Beautiful! Beautiful!"
He Tiantian estimated that there were more than a dozen children, all two or three years old. Some of them looked very similar, probably twins born in the village in the last two or three years.
There were many that He Tiantian didn't recognize at all.
Seeing this, He Tiantian had no choice but to take the basket back. She grabbed a large handful of White Rabbit candies and said, "Two candies each, don't push, line up neatly, whoever listens will get one."
"Oh, oh!" The children obediently lined up clumsily.
After handing out the candy, the kids even complimented He Tiantian on how pretty she was.
It was almost dinnertime when the adults in the village came out looking for the children. When they saw the candy He Tiantian had given them, they all came over to thank her.
