Summer brings a lot of rain.
It would rain every two or three days. Twice, He Tiantian took her child out to play, and it started raining in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, I didn't go out today and avoided such heavy rain.
The two children lay on their backs on the bamboo mat, with small blankets covering their bellies.
Looking out the window at the heavy rain, He Tiantian felt inexplicably happy.
This puzzled He Tiantian greatly. What was so exciting about rain? She used to hate rain. The ground was sticky when it rained, and her shoes would get dirty as soon as she went outside.
He Tiantian stood up and walked to the door involuntarily, resisting the urge to rush into the rain, and simply stretched out her hands.
After He Tiantian's hands touched the rainwater, she felt an indescribable sense of comfort, so much so that she didn't want to pull her hands away.
For some reason, He Tiantian felt happy every time she saw water.
It's just that this feeling wasn't obvious before; it only suddenly became obvious at certain moments, but those moments were rare.
Huo Yingjie came in from outside, carrying an umbrella and a thermos, and saw He Tiantian playing happily in the water.
"Aren't you cold?" Huo Yingjie asked in surprise, putting away his water bottle and folding up his umbrella.
"It's not cold!" He Tiantian replied, "Not cold at all!"
Even though it wasn't cold, Huo Yingjie still took a towel and wiped He Tiantian's hands.
"Alright, you're a grown-up now. How come you're even more mischievous than Ruimin, secretly playing in the water?" Huo Yingjie whispered, carefully wiping He Tiantian's hands and applying moisturizer.
He Tiantian was quite reluctant, but she also knew that this was not a good idea.
If the child sees this and imitates her, playing in the water whenever it rains, that would be bad.
“Brother Yingjie, I don’t know why, but I especially like water.” He Tiantian said softly, “As long as it’s clean and clear water, I always feel happy when I see it, and I want to touch it with my hands.”
"Hehe!" Huo Yingjie chuckled. "I've noticed, you also really like water in the cave..."
Upon hearing this, He Tiantian glared at Huo Yingjie and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense... It's all your fault for causing trouble..."
"Haha!" Huo Yingjie laughed. His wife looked even more charming and beautiful in the water.
I'm not going to say anything more. If I do, he'll be the one who suffers in the end.
He Tiantian looks very gentle, but inside there lives a wild little cat who occasionally goes berserk. When she gets angry, she'll scratch a few times with her claws, which can be quite painful.
He Tiantian would mutter to herself about this every time it rained.
Huo Yingjie didn't care at first, but later he felt that something was wrong.
One day, while they were playing in Xuanwu Lake, a child fell into the water.
Without a second thought, He Tiantian leaped into the water at incredible speed, reaching the child in just a few seconds and rescuing him.
Huo Yingjie was dumbfounded; in fact, he had just wanted to jump in to save people.
But He Tiantian had already jumped.
He knew He Tiantian could swim, but he didn't expect her to be so fast with a doggy paddle!
"Thank you so much! Neither my husband nor I can swim. If it weren't for you, my child would definitely not have been saved," the woman said gratefully, hugging her child tightly. "Could you leave your address and workplace? I'll send you a banner of appreciation."
"No need." Huo Yingjie wrapped the thin blanket meant for the child around his wife. "Let's go home quickly."
"Oh, oh..." the woman continued to ask.
He Tiantian turned her head and said, "Let's get him to the hospital quickly! We were just helping out."
Back home, Huo Yingjie had a dark expression and didn't speak to He Tiantian on the way.
He Tiantian rolled her eyes, stuck out her tongue, and made a face behind Huo Yingjie's back.
No need to guess, everyone knows that Brother Yingjie is angry.
"Brother Yingjie, I'm sorry." He Tiantian decided to apologize first. Rescuing people was such a hard, tiring, and dangerous job, so Huo Yingjie should be the one to do it.
She should just be a quiet and beautiful young woman!
"You're so capable, how could you make a mistake!" Huo Yingjie said in a muffled voice. Jumping in so quickly without warming up, even if you can swim, you'd get cramps!
He Tiantian chuckled awkwardly and said, "How about letting Brother Yingjie save people in the future, given the chance?"
“I would never criticize you for doing good deeds, but why don’t you think more about yourself? Don’t you think about me and the children? You went into the water without warming up. What if you got a cramp? What if you got tangled in the weeds?” Huo Yingjie questioned, determined to give He Tiantian a severe dressing down for not taking care of herself.
He Tiantian lowered her head further and further, seemingly realizing she had indeed made a grave mistake.
“I was wrong, and I will never do it again,” He Tiantian said. “Actually, I don’t know what happened. When I heard the cries for help, I jumped in without thinking. I wasn’t like this before. In fact, the moment I entered the water, I felt more relaxed than when I was on land. It felt like all my muscles and bones were stretching out.”
Huo Yingjie listened with a hint of disbelief: "Really?"
"Really, honey, I'm not lying to you. Just thinking about how wonderful it felt when I went into the water makes me want to go back in again," He Tiantian quickly explained. Although it sounded a bit fantastical, the feeling was real.
Huo Yingjie fell into deep thought. After a while, seeing that the two children beside him were fast asleep, he finally made a decision and said, "Let's go. Under the cover of night, I want to see what's going on."
"Where are you going?" He Tiantian asked in surprise. "It's getting dark outside. Even if you're going out, you should eat dinner first!"
"Okay, let's eat first." Huo Yingjie nodded.
After the meal, Huo Yingjie left the child in the care of Grandma Wang, as they had to go out for a while.
Arriving at the shore of Xuanwu Lake, a cool breeze from the lake greeted me, making me feel especially refreshed.
He Tiantian squinted her eyes, looking completely relaxed.
"Yes, that's exactly how it feels!" He Tiantian said. "I really want to go into the water!"
Huo Yingjie nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
He Tiantian jumped into the water like a mermaid and swam back and forth twice.
Huo Yingjie frowned, and after a while, he noticed two crystal-clear teardrop-shaped things in He Tiantian's palm.
I feel like I've seen this somewhere before.
Huo Yingjie just couldn't remember it for the moment.
Once He Tiantian had swum comfortably, she came out of the water, took the blanket from Huo Yingjie, wrapped it around herself, and then changed into dry clothes.
"Brother Yingjie, what are you thinking about?" He Tiantian felt relieved and in a particularly good mood.
"What were you thinking about as you swam happily in the water?" Huo Yingjie asked, seemingly having a vague idea but not quite sure.
Without hesitation, He Tiantian said, "I remembered the Snake King..."
Huo Yingjie frowned upon hearing this.
"Of course, I miss my husband too!" He Tiantian stretched out her hand, "I miss my child too..." Seven Star Grass said it wasn't that she didn't want to update more frequently, but there were no manuscripts or big promotions to stimulate her, so... However, she still wanted to thank the readers who subscribed to the official version and rewarded Seven Star Grass, mwah.
