School life is busy and fulfilling.
Family life is filled with small, warm moments.
Although He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie are a little tired every day, they are very happy.
Everything goes well and my family is healthy—that's better than anything else!
However, life is rarely smooth sailing. There will always be people who throw stones into the lake, creating ripples and bringing some storms to a peaceful life.
Wang Bing had been trying to get close to Huo Yingjie, but Huo Yingjie was very wary and never left alone, nor would he speak to female students alone. He didn't participate in many school activities, and even when he did, they were always group activities with a large group of people.
Wang Bing had no chance to get close to Huo Yingjie.
In March, spring returns to the earth, and the weather warms up.
The college campus has also become lush and green everywhere.
In a secluded corner, a woman whispered, "Why haven't you made your move yet? Have you forgotten your promise?"
The man leaned against the wall, speaking slowly and deliberately, "I've tried my best, but I haven't had a chance."
“If you want to pursue a career in politics, then you’d better help me honestly,” the woman said. “Once you’ve succeeded, you can become a civil servant in a county under Nanshi, and you’ll have real power.”
"Hehe." The man chuckled. "I didn't know their identities before, but now I realize my mistake. I have to admit, you tricked me..."
"Trying to trick you?" the woman sneered. "Didn't you have your eye on that woman?"
“That was true before, but I don’t dare to even think about it now,” the man said. “You deceived me first, so I will not absolutely keep my promise.”
"Not complying?" Wang Bing narrowed his eyes. "Don't you want to stay in Nanshi anymore? You know I can make you destitute in Nanshi..."
“I know!” the man said. “But I also know that if I do as you say, whether it succeeds or not, I won’t be able to stay in Nanshi, and I won’t be able to stay in the whole of China. Let’s stop here. I’m not going to go crazy with you anymore.”
The man was quite self-aware and knew how to make choices.
"No, since you promised me, you have to continue. If you don't agree, I'll tell Huo Yingjie that you have feelings for He Tiantian..." the woman threatened, though her reason sounded somewhat childish.
The man glanced at the woman sideways and sneered, "Wang Bing, go ahead and try. You've got designs on Huo Yingjie, and you've even acted on them. As for me, I'm just a beautiful lady, admired by gentlemen, but I haven't done anything about it. Even if Huo Yingjie finds out, what can he do to me? On the other hand, if Huo Yingjie knew about your actions, how he would treat you is obvious!"
After the man finished speaking, he turned and left.
The tall figure walked along the path, further and further away, until it disappeared around the bend.
"Damn it!" Wang Bing was furious. Since she couldn't get anywhere with Huo Yingjie, she asked someone to target He Tiantian instead.
However, Yuan Chengcai, that useless man, was too scared to make a move when he heard about He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie's identities.
Almost half a year has passed, and we have achieved nothing; all our efforts have been in vain!
Now that she's calmed down, Wang Bing knows that the words she used to threaten Yuan Chengcai cannot be said to Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian.
What should we do now?
Huo Yingjie is a man, so it would be difficult to subdue him, but He Tiantian is a woman, so it's a different story.
If Yue has the opportunity, she can resort to this last resort!
Wang Bing's eyes were cold. She was another year older, and she no longer had so much youth to squander.
She must deal with He Tiantian as soon as possible before she has a chance.
It's not the thief you should fear, but the one who has his eye on you.
He Tiantian shuttles between school and home every day, completely unaware of the malice from the outside world.
Huo Yingjie's eyelids had been twitching a bit these past few days, making him quite restless. He tried to calculate it, but couldn't come to a conclusion, which left him rather puzzled.
"Sweetie, Cui Ying and I are going shopping this weekend. Do you want to come?" Huang Jingli asked. Usually, He Tiantian stays at home and doesn't have time to go shopping, so when she goes shopping, she always tells He Tiantian that she wants to take her along.
In the past, He Tiantian would always refuse.
This time, He Tiantian was thinking that her mother-in-law's birthday was coming up soon, and she wanted to pick out a gift for her as a birthday present.
“Okay, then I’ll go with you this weekend,” He Tiantian agreed. “My mother-in-law’s birthday is coming up soon, and I want to buy her a gift.”
“Okay, let’s go together then,” Huang Jingli said. She wanted to buy Wu Youliang a shirt.
Cui Ying wanted to buy a sweater to wear in the spring.
When the weekend came, He Tiantian said, "Brother Yingjie, Grandma's birthday is coming up soon, and I want to buy her a gift."
“Okay, I’ll go with you,” Huo Yingjie said. He felt more at ease if he was with He Tiantian.
"No need, I can go by myself. I've already made plans with Jingli and Cuiying to go shopping together. You should stay home and spend time with the kids. After all, we have to teach classes and don't have much time to spend with them."
"Alright, then be careful," Huo Yingjie said, sending a wisp of divine sense to the Xuan Gui, who was dozing in the yard, instructing him to follow He Tiantian invisibly.
After tidying up the house, He Tiantian grabbed her bag, rode her women's bicycle, and met up with Huang Jingli and Cui Ying.
With the little tortoise following him, Huo Yingjie wasn't worried.
So, not far from He Tiantian, the little whirlwind turtle kept following her invisibly.
The three met at the agreed-upon place and went to the supply and marketing cooperative together.
Wang Bing, who had been following He Tiantian's activities, also learned that He Tiantian was going out shopping.
So, Wang Bing secretly found five or six thugs to follow behind He Tiantian and the others.
They were just waiting for He Tiantian to be alone, then they would take the woman away and get five hundred yuan.
One of the thugs hesitated and said, "Boss, the man we arrested for that woman is well-dressed. His family must be rich or powerful. Is it worth taking such a big risk for five hundred dollars?"
The leader of the thugs hesitated as he watched He Tiantian chatting and laughing with the two women beside her not far away, but he had something on her that she could use against him.
If he doesn't do as instructed, he'll go to jail.
That's not a place for humans; even the gang leader doesn't want to go there.
“If you’re scared, then don’t go,” the eldest brother said, frowning unhappily. “But you have to pay me back the twenty yuan you borrowed from me. Otherwise…”
Upon hearing this, the thug quickly changed his tune, saying, "Big brother, I'll do whatever you say."
The thug borrowed twenty yuan, but he's already spent it all. Where would he get the money to pay back his boss?
Several people followed behind.
The little tortoise in the void glanced back a few times, wanting to see what those people behind it were up to!
While shopping, Cui Ying could vaguely sense something watching her. She looked at it several times from the void, but found nothing unusual, which made her somewhat distracted.
The little tortoise withdrew its divine sense and followed at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
Thus, Cui Ying could not sense that aura. Although she felt somewhat disappointed, she couldn't be distracted for too long with her two friends by her side.
