He Tiantian was slightly taken aback. She noticed that Huo Yingjie was quite different from before.
"You've taken good care of me these past few days, and you've lost weight," Huo Yingjie said softly, a smile playing on his lips.
He Tiantian didn't even bother to eat; instead, she asked in a low voice, "Are you Brother Yingjie?"
"Yes!" Huo Yingjie tapped her little nose. "What's wrong? Are you worried about me?"
“Mmm!” He Tiantian nodded. “Yes, I’m very worried about you. I’m always afraid you’ll be bullied, and I’m always afraid you won’t be able to regain your memories. Now tell me something between the two of us that no one else knows.”
"Still so mischievous!" Huo Yingjie chuckled, then thought for a moment, "Looks like you're craving those unripe persimmons in the yard again."
He Tiantian opened her mouth slightly, a little surprised, but quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, my parents found out about this later. Tell me something else."
Huo Yingjie thought for a moment, then looked He Tiantian up and down with ill intent, and said, "When you were six years old, you slept in my bed and wet the bed, but you were shy and later said that I was the one who wet the bed. I was nine years old at the time, and my mother thought I had a problem and took me to the hospital for a checkup."
He Tiantian covered her mouth. This was really embarrassing. She was six years old and could remember things. It was such a shameful thing, and she couldn't forget it even if she wanted to.
"I'm so sleepy," He Tiantian whispered. "And you gave me so much watermelon, so..."
"So it's all my fault, isn't it?" Huo Yingjie smiled, having been scapegoated countless times.
"Actually, it's not entirely your fault." He Tiantian still had some conscience, but she was more concerned about something else: "Can you tell me, Wancheng, what kind of situation are you in right now?"
Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "Hehe, we were originally one person. Now our consciousnesses have merged, and we have become a complete person. I was afraid you would worry. I used to have nightmares, dreaming of flying over rooftops and seeing scenes of mountains and rivers being destroyed. I didn't think they were real. After merging with the consciousness of the God of Changling, I understand. Those were not my dreams. They were things I had seen with my own eyes."
Hearing Huo Yingjie explain the matter to her in a soft voice, He Tiantian found that she was not as resistant as she had imagined and was willing to accept this change.
As long as Huo Yingjie comes back, that's fine; consider it as another memory.
"Then why did the fusion happen today of all days?" He Tiantian was quite curious, after all, several days had passed, and the progress at home was slow. She had prepared herself for a long battle.
Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "I didn't have any help before, but I got help by chance today."
"What kind of help? Tell me quickly. If it's useful, I'll take you there often," He Tiantian said, worried that the fusion wasn't solid enough and wanting to take Huo Yingjie to reinforce it.
“No need, once is enough,” Huo Yingjie said. “That wasn’t a pleasant process, so let’s not talk about it.”
"Huh?" He Tiantian was surprised, but after hearing what Huo Yingjie said, she didn't insist anymore, "Oh!"
Since it was unpleasant, I don't want Huo Yingjie to go through it again.
However, He Tiantian's curiosity did not disappear just because Huo Yingjie didn't say anything; her little head was still thinking.
Today, like any other day, they went fishing. It wasn't the first or second time they'd gone. The only difference was that a child fell into the water today, and Yingjie went to rescue the child.
Was it because of the rescue?
He Tiantian was deep in thought when Huo Yingjie tapped her forehead and said, "It'll get cold if you don't eat it soon."
"Oh!" He Tiantian said, thinking as she ate.
He wasn't eating with his usual gusto; it was obvious he was daydreaming.
"Alright, I'm telling you, stop overthinking," Huo Yingjie said. Although it was an uncomfortable process, He Tiantian would start imagining things if he didn't say anything.
"It's okay, I don't necessarily need to know," He Tiantian said softly, her feigned insincerity perfectly displayed at this moment.
They clearly want to know, but they say they don't want to know.
"It's nothing," Huo Yingjie said. "When our divine consciousness split in two, we were in the liquid primordial space. Now that we're willing to merge, we just happened to jump into the water and inadvertently solved the most crucial step. It's that simple, do you understand?"
He Tiantian nodded, but then shook her head.
She vaguely understood that the two consciousnesses had separated in the water; now that they were merging, they also needed to be in the water.
Today, a child happened to fall into the water, and Huo Yingjie rescued the child, thus completing this step by chance.
“There’s a destiny at play,” Huo Yingjie said softly. “So don’t waste your brain thinking about it.”
"Yes, Brother Yingjie is right." He Tiantian wholeheartedly agreed. So many coincidences must have been preordained to happen this way.
"Alright, can we eat now?" Huo Yingjie asked. "If we don't eat now, the noodles will get soggy."
"Okay, I'll eat now, I'm hungry," He Tiantian said, taking a few bites. "Now that you've recovered, what are your plans for the future?"
He Tiantian looked at Huo Yingjie hopefully.
Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "Hurry up and eat. I'll tell you after you finish eating."
"Brother Yingjie, please tell me!" He Tiantian saw hope in Huo Yingjie's eyes. Her brother Yingjie was the most understanding person; he must know what she was thinking!
Oh, this little girl, she's such a well-behaved and sensible daughter in front of adults, but she's always such a little rascal in front of him.
"Didn't you want to go back to Qijia Village?" Huo Yingjie said. "I told you that I'm not fully recovered yet and I want to go there to recuperate for a while. After all, my future father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't back out of the engagement when I was going through the most difficult time, and I'm grateful to them. I definitely want to go and see them."
"But you've recovered now, right? Will Aunt Jiang agree to let you go?" He Tiantian was a little worried, after all, Aunt Jiang was also very worried about Huo Yingjie.
Now that Huo Yingjie has recovered, he naturally wants his son to stay at home more often.
“You don’t need to get involved in this matter. I will talk to my parents.” Huo Yingjie said, “You just need to be happy and healthy every day. There are some things you don’t need to worry about.”
Hearing Huo Yingjie's words, He Tiantian nodded habitually and said, "Then thank you for your trouble, Brother Yingjie. Have something delicious to eat tonight."
I was originally planning to cook fish for lunch today, but since it's a rare treat to eat fish, I decided to wait for Jiang Lifang and Huo Zhekun to come home so we could eat together.
It's not good for the younger generation to eat alone, so He Tiantian made noodles.
However, both she and Huo Yingjie like to eat noodles, and He Tiantian's noodles taste good and have always been highly praised by Huo Yingjie.
"Mm," Huo Yingjie said, feeling happy and at ease.
